    How are you guys finding GTA V so far? Is it worth getting? I've already had it for both PS3 and PS4. If greenmangaming code still works, I can get it for around €45.

    Its a great game and they really did a good port for the PC, but I honestly couldn't justify buying the same game twice, let alone for a third time.

    Your call

    I'm curious as to the overall view as well. From the sound of things it seems to be working very well with no major bugs.

    /EDIT just to say as well, I'm a pure pc player so don't have it on any other format l.

    Wouldn't bother getting it again. I had it on Xbox 360 but had never played online, so got it again on PC. It ain't that great online, I keep getting kicked back to single player. I played some missions in single player but I don't think I will bother playing the whole thing again. About getting kicked back to single player, I was trying at evening time on a Friday and Saturday night so they would be classed as busy times. I did play it in the early hours 1am to 3am of a week night and had no problems.

    I was actually playing it after I wrote that last post till now and it is actually quite fun believe it or not(when it works) I was still thinking when I wrote that post of earlier in the night when I couldn't get online.

    The night time rain in the city are the best graphics I've ever seen in any game. Holy crap.

    After an initially lukewarm response from me, I've warmed to it more once I go to the Trevor missions....

    But it still strikes me that there's a weird mix of excellent attention to detail and polish, combined with extremely rough edges. This is the same game that has utter trash aircraft and helicopter controls, yet has touches such as the rumble strips on the median and hard shoulders actually working.

    I was thinking the same, incredible, I seen it for the first time last night in the mission where Trevor burns the caravans and goes to Los Santos.

    So, I'm slightly behind all you folks, but have eventually got it and am pleasantly surprised at how smooth it runs on my 2011 system, and that is without having to overclock CPU or GPU. I had read that 1GB cards are limited in resolution, but saw that you can overrule that rule. Currently on 1600x900 with most setting on high. The benchmark states I am getting a solid 30 FPS, but gameplay is perfectly smooth. Happy days.

    Really? I've found that if the game drops below 60FPS it gets very jerky. This isn't some 60FPS master race bullshít either. Even in the 50s it looks very jumpy and weird. I've played other games at around 30FPS that look smoother than this at 59FPS. I assumed that's just the way the game was and accepted it but I guess not. Must figure out what's causing it.

    Yeah, smooth as melted butter tbh. I'm not big into monitoring fps, but only commented due to the inbuilt indicator during the benchmarking. It stuck at 30 and would dip to 27/28 as the scene switched, then back to 30, but never higher. Googling found the below link, interesting in that my screen is also set to 60 hz
