For this mammoth game should submit holidays

Since I now can count on the older "gamblers" me and I have available for my (at least existing for about 20 years) Hobby no longer infinite time (yes, priorities change during the course of a life), I'm more relieved, I spontaneously submitted two days' leave for a short trip to Los Santos.
Of course I had there, as befits a holiday, thoroughly relaxed: I relaxed on my couch, drinking a / two beers, smoked illicit cigarettes, went to the movies, playing golf and tennis, made extensive sightseeing (by car, aircraft and Pedestrain), went with my dog ​​"walkies", visited the city's nightlife, made a boat trip followed by a dive, went shopping in detail and of course I enjoyed simply on the activities of the rest of the population. However, there were a few, for a holiday unusual activities: So I let myself to some wild chase scenes, put me with the local police, bought weapons at local dealers, I again began several times, left me on business with unsavory people a, stealing cars, robbing shops, went hunting and had from time to time various intrusive passersby with my fists or the like threaten (several times it was not only a threat). In all this time I did not notice how the selbige passed and I just 20 (!) Hours in this "world" spent. However, I noticed on quite a few more activity options that would justify more vacations in this city.

Now, after the aforementioned 20 hours of playing time, I think much of the game and to have seen and experienced its gameplay and dare me my Erlebtes in the form of a review to reproduce:

Atmosphere:
Absolutely brilliant and dense, everything seems all of a piece. The height to detail and the almost unlimited possibility to deal it is (to me at least) to be difficult of the game going. There are also wonderfully drawn characters, a created at the highest level game world (whether in the city, in rural areas or under water), a great sound experience, a wonderfully integrated and functioning day and night and weather changes and as "chalk and cheese, the" matching and "snappy" dialogues. Of course, the usual Rockstar titles cynical and coarse humor is used, although some (at least so far) reduced as in previous parts of the series. It's quite an experience to explore such a believable game world. The newly added wildlife joins super into the overall picture and screwed again to the atmosphere.
At first I was a bit skeptical about whether something might get affected by the use of multiple game characters, the identification. However, this is not the case, on the contrary. The developers have managed to make everyone beautiful and comprehensible and to work out. No one comes across and it is well for each a favorite character to be there. Even the change of this contributes to the "density" of the game. If such a place (google-earth says hello) you catch the newly selected character in any typical pastime. Class solved!
Negative would be to be noted that the AI ​​is sometimes not quite up to par. Passers and civilians respond to your driving still quite respectable and understandable (with a few exceptions), but I noticed in some shootouts now and illogical behavior of my opponent. Although one already had to then pay attention and all that is not able to reduce the atmosphere.

Gameplay:
The activities initially described represent only a fraction of the pastime, the full line of options beyond this framework. Here's a typical GTA gameplay is offered. Racing, flight and Shooter deposits alternate with all sorts of meaningful and meaningless pastimes. But both absolutely mature and beautifully staged. The missions make consistently fun, offer good variety and are full of wit (at least the previously played). However, when I think of last offshoot of this series, the developer is certainly able to keep until the end.
Sets you remember during or apart from the missions with the law enforcement officers, you will receive, as usual, a wanted level. This again to get rid of was adjusted slightly and made more realistic. At low level, it is easy, with a high level in turn quite tricky.
I also think that it is again possible to its character in various fields, simply by playing, "level up" (you ride with cars, is reinforced this ability over time, your effort, this ability is enhanced with time, her submerged and so on). Of course, all three go with different values ​​on the grid. Furthermore, I noticed positively that the developers have not followed the "casual trend" and but sometimes the game demands good will never really unfair. But also contributes to the new, user-friendly storage option. Complete missions to play again belongs to the past (fair savepoints goodness)!
My only negative point relates to the behavior of the police. This one has, one should not take care and mischief, relatively quickly rushed up. Increases Although the degree of realism, but also forces you to little more cautious playing style (some mags surely please).

Graphics:
This is absolutely flawless. What is here getting outta the "old console" is phenomenal.
I repeat myself though but this game world represented wonderful and full of details studied the overall picture without equal. Especially by the change between day and night and especially the weather results in a superior image on the screen. Light and shadow effects are at a high level and I find myself again and again how I stop easily and the sunset fabulously illustrated watch. The faces seem very mature, and especially the main characters made me believe sometimes to play a PS4 title.
Of course you have at such a remarkable open-world game in terms of graphics a few minor compromises make (one must not forget that this is not first-person shooter is with "Tube levels" and we still do not Next-Gen have product) and thus the game has to deal with smaller graphics Macken, but can hardly detract from the positive overall impression. Which are: lightweight edge flares, and some muddy textures (especially when viewed in the great outdoors on the ground or directly in front of a mountain / house stands). Too late appearing objects I really rarely noticed and if only for very fast movements (driving or flying). The "Ruckelorgie" which some users complain, I can not understand. I noticed nothing like (either it is really a hardware problem console or TV set or take my eyes this is simply not true) and I feel the game as a liquid and very playable.

Sound:
Short and sweet bliss! Of course, again various radio stations with great choices available and for every taste Registered. But also other background noise (engine sound, sound weapons, dialogues, etc.) are on a top level and let any sound system tremble.
Only negative might be the lack of German synchronization call. Clear is aware why this game is sold only in the original language, and certainly nothing could hold a candle to, but it is sometimes difficult to listen when driving to meetings and to follow. Thus, you do still like to use from the subtitles, which is in turn almost impossible at high speeds. My tip: stop at red lights and initially focus on the conversations that partly contain important information.

Handling:
The buttons of the controller are fully booked and also be used multiple times. This therefore requires a small acclimatization. I think one would know game pearl as its predecessor or RDR, it is very quickly become familiar with all the actions and everything is just out of hand. The vehicle control has been simplified, but still offers enough "depth" (crashes are no longer as strong even on the agenda as its predecessor) propose, therefore are daring rides and stunts nothing in the way and leave the player's heart beat faster. Shootout, chases, or simply cruising (whether on foot or by vehicle use) feel great and work the same way. In addition, various target aids can be adjusted, so that once again everyone should be his skill needs.
Only me the cover system is something negative attention in hectic moments, this has led to the death of one and the other with me (but perhaps I lack even a little exercise here).

Story:
Since I have only completed about 20 percent of the game, I can still make no final judgment. So far everything is very well thought out and leaves you wanting more. But even here there would be very surprised if the developers were not up to the end provide a high level of quality, with a variety of twists and surprises.

Before I come to the result, I would like to tell a little more negative experience:
Yesterday my console was one of the many side jobs (Spoiler: It's the real estate missions in which Trevor has to collect per vehicle or flyer div weapons package.) All five times "frozen" and a reboot was necessary. This happened within the 20 hours of gameplay and only with this special side mission. Thus, I accounted for under the "might still patched" or "possibly hardware problem my console" and would not be included in the rating that! Maybe my PS3 Slim had also just have a bad day.

Conclusion:
The statement GTA5 is a mix of GTA San Andreas, GTA4, RDR and Max Payne meets my opinion here probably best. The strengths of all listed titles were optimally combined into an overall result which perfectly attacks like clockwork each other. The slight weaknesses can be, given the incredible size and population, imperfection and go rather in the direction of "grumble at the highest level". I did not think that a game again so fascinates me to the console and everything around me can be forgotten. From my side full purchase recommendation for all "gamers" that can even come close to begin with the issues of open-World-, action or racing game slightly. Such an atmosphere of detail, characterization, storyline, gameplay and such a game should at any time have experienced and upcoming titles will have to be measured by. For my part I can only awarded five stars for product and gameplay.
and GTA-Online has not even started (my wife will start me again "siezen").

PS: If you have questions, just ask.
PPS: Who finds spelling mistakes or other, this may / this of course like to keep.
