Great, even for a non-GTA fan

I'm actually not a fan of the franchise or the style of GTA, or the action of the games. About 10 years ago I played Vice City with a friend, and for a time was captivated by the "sandbox" principle of the game, the plot I have largely ignored because driving and experimenting was fun.
Now when GTA V came out and made a huge media hype, I have yielded to an impulse and bought the game. My system: i7 with 16GB of RAM, NVidia card, W7 / 64 bit.

The installation was done fairly quickly, despite 7 DVDs and then still slow servers (shortly after launch). 1 1/2 weeks ago, I had the game once complete reinstall because a problem occurred and the Launcher closed repeatedly. This time the installation was faster.

The game itself? Beautifully, in terms of graphics. Captivating when it comes to history. There is always something interesting twists in the story, and you begin to like the characters. Franklin, the young criminals with the good heart, Michael, the rich ex-criminals with longing for the old job (of me sometimes very reminiscent of Tony Soprano) and even Trevor, the manic White Trash chaotic.

The Heists fun, from planning and preparation and procurement of vehicles needed to execution. It is nice that if for any reason a particular mission simply does not create (my weakness is eg helicopter flight), you can skip it. If you want all the missions with a gold medal, can later retry it.

The Allerfesselndste for me is the "sandbox" character - there is so much to discover, try as much, always switched to new activities, vehicles, sports, purchasable shops or other things free. Even if you only when driving enjoying the scenery or the downtown area of ​​Los Santos, suddenly small missions emerge - Pickpockets catch, etc.

That has a certain addictive, so you can to earn between missions of Story Mode repeatedly money, or simply go exploring.
I am about 70% through the story through, and really looking forward to the rest of the trip and the discovery around it. A big compliment to the developer for all the work, the little allusions, all the playful and loving details (the Facebook parody that iFruit app and so many others), and for a huge chunk of the game.

As I said, with the "Message" or the style of GTA else can not do much - I do not feel sondelrich enjoy going to draw a gangster by the country to curse, or people dahinzumetzeln in the game. GTA V, however, has captured me with its unbelievable size and depth, with all the many surprises and so on as well as a part of the story, and even with the characters.

No wonder that the game has received so many positive reviews, because for me it seems like it's a similar "genre-definer" or "now-already-classic" such as Skyrim. With so much content, so much "polish" and to do as much of the price is more than ok, because I am as I said 70% of the story (and have not yet all that has nothing to do with the story, discovered, have GTAO not extensively sampled, etc.) and have already now feel that they have received more than adequate consideration for the purchase price.
They are killer!
