If you're a PC gamer who's spent the last eighteen months enduring delays and watching your friends play on their consoles the wait is over, and it was worth it.
Rockstar has delivered on an open world experience unrivaled by any previous game. It has crafted a world that feels truly alive and brilliantly captures the perversion of the American Dream that has been glorified by popular media today.
The action is divided up between three protagonists and each one has their own style, story and theme. There is Michael's story about a criminal who achieved the dream of making enough to cash out and the depression that followed, to Franklin's story of ambition that will eventually lead him to Michael's fate and Trevor's crazed madness that embodies the player's natural destructive tendencies when playing a Mod Meanu GTA title.
It's nothing new from consoles, so what makes GTA on PC from the rest? GTA 5 PC benefits from the brand new light model and post-processing effect the day-to-night cycle, and enhanced vegetation in the new generation consoles and shadow details which affect everything from how characters' faces appear close-up, to the depth of field effects, grass and water.
The controls are well translated to keyboards and mice with the exception of flying, which requires WASD and the numbers pad as well as the mouse. This means that you'll need three hands to operate the aircraft.
