Firstly, I would like to express my sympathy for all the PC gamers who were unable to play GTA V on release day due to the special characters in your username issue. That really sucks. I am pouring out a fictional 40 for you in my head. I hope they get that problem resolved quickly. Secondly, know that it rocks. Everything is so big, so beautiful and seems super realistic. I only got to play for about an hour, but I am hoping to really dive in this weekend.
The introduction was intense and I really liked how they used a bank robbery for the tutorial. I was reintroduced to the basic controls in a cool way. Then I got to shoot a lot of cops. (I have the utmost respect for police officers in real life. In GTA life....they best stay out of my way.) It was way too fun. I sort of got the hang of the whole character switching scenario which is an interesting new addition.
The character divergence and branching storyline is seems pretty awesome. I got to play as some white guy with a mullet and then as Franklin who, at this early point in the game, just seems confused. The Franklin scenario introduced me to driving in GTA V. It feels similar to driving in the other games, but I felt like I had more control At one point I accepted a random mission to drive a tow truck and tow cars with some former lady friend. I expected the drive to be slow and difficult, but it was actually pretty smooth. So far, the driving seems more realistic--which has proven to make it somewhat difficult. In the initial race sequence I managed to almost completely trashed the sports car that I was supposed to get to the dealership without a scratch. Running over pedestrians leaves unwanted bloodstains on your car.
I am looking forward to getting some time to truly experience GTA V. It seems like the type of GTA that has been made into the "ultimate" version. Finally!
