Seriously, I have played half the game, and I have major reservations now about all the hype it received. The characters, despite a few interesting lines here and there, are basically the same and boring all game: Mike whining about his shitty life, Trevor a lunatic sociopath, Franklin reciting the line "come on dawg" about ten thousand times.
And really besides the graphics, its a basic scripted linear game ala Call of Duty with some marginally boring side missions and traffic movements. The choices on the heists make zero difference. That isn't to say there are some really cool scripted missions.
I got another question. Why does Trevor, supposed criminal mastermind with connections in OC, act like Mike returning from the dead as a fucking rat is A-OK with him (after getting his buddy wasted and ruining his life) and then proceeds to help the FIB? Really? Play the other half and you'll find out that he isn't A-OK with it at all. I have, but the question remains. He went nuts over the dead partner and not the rat stuff. It was clear from day one, moment one, that mike was a rat and admitted as such. Trevor accepts this at face value- just wanting to help the FIB along with pull heists with his best friend. Franklin does similar despite being a G from the hood. It's among the most bizarre and nonsensical story lines I have ever seen. Maybe in the GTA universe ratting doesn't make a difference.
Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

I'm sure the way trevor sees it, he can use it to his advantage, nab tons of cash, root out any competition in his meth business. Franklin is trying to get out of the whole gang lifestyle, so him working with the feds doesn't suprise me, because if one thing is very clear in the GTA universe, in all of them, is that money makes the world go round, and, being able to boost millions upon millions and getting away with it simply because the feds need you to clean up their dirty work, doesn't sound too bad to me.

People need to hop off of Rock Star. This game is not that good. You say that and then offer no explanation as to why you think it isn't that good. If you have an opinion of something, please, elaborate. I, on the other hand, thought the game was terrific (and no, I'm not a Rockstar fanboy). I think the multiple main characters created a fresh new feel to the game, and effectively eliminated the disconnect I felt from previous iterations (i.e. when GTA IV's Niko Bellic would lament about wanting to leave the criminal life, and yet he would take assassination jobs over a payphone from a guy he didn't even know). I found myself playing the game differently with each of the three characters. Trevor is a psychopath, and I played him accordingly. Franklin was more of a thug trying to leave the streets he was raised in, and so it wasn't uncommon for me to help an innocent bystander who was being robbed, and return their money to them. I played Michael somewhat middle of the road. I was able to connect with these characters more than previous characters in the series, because they each had a distinct personality, and it made me make decisions with their characters that I felt they themselves would make. The vibrant, colorful setting of Los Santos is also infinitely more interesting than the gray cityscape of Liberty City. Rockstar nailed the culture (or lack thereof) of Los Angeles and Hollywood, and kicked it up quite a few notches. Los Santos is a caricature of Los Angeles, but it is closer to the real thing than one might think. Los Santos is also the biggest world that Rockstar North has created to date, and while it may seem smaller than San Andreas from the GTA of the same name, the land mass is exponentially bigger, and by Rockstar focusing on one city (and surrounding countryside) instead of three, the city feels much more alive and vibrant. This is Los Angeles fully realized in video game form, and it is awesome. I like that they brought back car customization and purchasable properties, as well. Also, you can purchase vehicles through the in-game "web browser", and even buy and sell stocks in the game's stock market (instead of NASDAQ, it's BAWSAQ). There are some missions early on in the game where Franklin is tasked with taking out certain business entrepreneurs, and at the beginning of each mission, Lester drops a stock tip as to what stocks to buy once this man has been killed. Pay special attention to those tips, because you can make a lot of money! I haven't tinkered with the online game yet, but I'm sure it's pretty sweet. As for knocks against the game, I noticed a few glitches throughout my play through, such as NPCs getting stuck in strange places. For instance, I walked into Michael's house once and his wife was standing on the kitchen table. There are also some frame-rate issues and some texture pop-in, but nothing game breaking. There are going to be people out there that will hate this game before they even play it. It's the same with Call of Duty. People hate it for it's mainstream success, and will point out the smallest flaw and blow it up into the biggest, game-breaking bug in the history of mankind, and call for the immediate demise of the people who develop these games. My advice: just play it. If you like it, great! If you don't, great! Personally, I loved it!

GTAIV was much better IMO, it's still my favourite video game.
I loved Liberty City in GTAIV because it was more gritty and felt more like real criminal environment. Organized crime was well researched, you had the 5 families plus a family based on DeCavalcante and other ethnic gangs/OC. Bohan (Bronx) was a cool ghetto, Hove Beach (Brighton Beach) felt like propper lower middle class crime infested immigrant neighbourhood and Alderney (New Jersey) had that Sopranos vibe. GTA V just feels like you're on a holiday compared to that.
I also like Niko as the character more and could relate to him because I'm Slavic and non-American. But he's not only cool because of that, he's a badass criminal, served in the army and is a hired hitman. His story and character felt real, plenty of Serbs became ruthless criminals after the war, many of them went abroad. The story in general was much better in IV. V characters don't really convince me, Trevor is over the top.
I feel that GTAV moved too much away from the criminal theme.
