I can still remember playing this game on a very crappy laptop model I had years ago. Memories behind it while playing it, I remember all of them. The excitement, the fun, and the never-ending surprise, of them are still there. 8 years later with the new-gen of gaming. I tried re-playing this game all over again. And Jesus! I am really impressed! The excitement is still there. Every excitement I felt years ago, I felt once again. GTA V is indeed one of the best games ever made in the history of gaming. The trio of Michael, Trevor, and Franklin are among one the best trio ever made as well. Their story actually captured a lot of hearts. Their interactions with one another seem so natural. The GTA V PS5 improvement is such a blast. The graphics were insanely improved in a lot of ways. Although it's a bit weird that they added a Ray Tracing feature when in fact, the RT features are not really fully implemented well. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on the controllers added an extra layer of immersion. The controller speakers also added this wow factor as well. The controls are extremely useful and comfortable for me. I had so much fun playing this game. Can't wait to invest in GTA online as well.
