After playing this game for almost 2000 hours across all platforms, (PS3, PS4, PS5, PC Enhanced, and PC Legacy) seeing Rockstar stooping as low as going out of their way to nerf each and every single heist to absolute abysmal dog water to a point where the former best heist in the game (Cayo Perico) which used to give out up to $2M+ solo, to now barely paying $400k for the Tequila has made me realize how much not …

Personal Rating: Very Positive (90%) I used to watch GTA V videos all the time back in 2017 and now I have it myself for a year. You know that there is something elegantly beautiful in this game when all you need to do is ride around Los Santos and Blaine County to be immersed enough to spend a total of 150 hours of total playtime. (and definitely NOT getting 5 stars in the process) One of the best games I have …

I know it's a bit late to talk about GTA V Enhanced for PC, but I wanted to get my thoughts out about the problems. Graphics are better than the old legacy version, for sure. The world looks sharper, lighting feels nicer, reflections are better. That part is actually solid. But the online side? It's a mess. The anti-cheat is basically a joke. It only cares about the economy. Like, if you make one dollar in a sketchy …

Finally, a proper technical cleanup. The best part of this enhanced version is its efficiency: it actually takes up significantly less disk space than the previous version (saving about 20 GB) thanks to better compression. Switching to DirectX 12 has improved stability and frame pacing on modern CPUs, while the addition of Ray Tracing, DLSS, and FSR makes it look like a modern title.

Does people still ignore the story mode to only play the Online? Please stop: the Story Mode is one of the funniest thing I ever seen and if you wanna hear an unpopular opinion ONLINE SUCK. My experience with the multiplayer was: I arrive, there's only few players and all they do is killing each other on repeat. I don't care, I mind my buisness and try to get started until I get OHKO by someone randomly out of …
Summarised from 34 of the 351 public posts collected about this game; every point cites the posts behind it ([n] opens the post) and the split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Updated Oct 9, 2026. How summaries are made
75% of the 269 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The complaint that keeps coming up: online mode is toxic, grindy, and full of cheaters. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Grand Theft Auto V received "universal acclaim" from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic, based on 50 reviews for the PlayStation 3 version and 58 reviews for the Xbox 360 version. The game is Metacritic's fifth-highest rated, tied with several others. Reviewers liked the multiple lead character formula, heist mission design and presentation, but some did not agree on the quality of the story and characters. IGN called Grand Theft Auto V "one of the very best video games ever made", and Play considered it "generation-defining" and "exceptional". Edge wrote that it is a "remarkable achievement" in open-world design and storytelling, while The Daily Telegraph declared it a…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot in good conscience recommend this game or any product from Take-Two Interactive at this time. While GTA V itself is a fun game, the publisher has declared war on the very community that kept their games alive for decades. On December 5 2025, they issued DMCA takedowns against the Multi Theft Auto repository on GitHub - a free, open-source multiplayer mod project that has co-existed peacefully for 20 years with the game, they had long since stopped caring about. They are aggressively…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rockstar vs. Privacy It’s 2026, and Rockstar still treats Linux users like second-class citizens. After years of the game running flawlessly on Proton, they’ve forced in BattlEye—a kernel-level anti-cheat they refuse to enable for Linux, despite a compatible version existing. I am not giving a third-party driver Ring 0/Kernel access to my OS just to enter a lobby. I shouldn't have to compromise my system's integrity and privacy for a broken, modder-filled online experience. If you…

The email I used for my Rockstar Social Club, Rockstar Game's third party steam-like software, was hacked and then deleted by the email's domain owner. The email literally no longer exists. Because I can't get into my Social Club account, I am literally physically incapable of playing the game I own. The licensed, legitimate copy of Grand Theft Auto V I purchased is literally unusable. Both on AND offline. I want to clarify, I am disallowed…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →protip: rename GTA5_Enhanced_BE.exe to anything (don't change the extension), copy GTA5_Enhanced.exe, then rename the copy to GTA5_Enhanced_BE.exe, you can now play your singleplayer game without installing kernel level anticheat :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ new update, genuinely gutted the game Payouts decreased from 30-40% across the board. Cayo nerfed for the fourth time into the ground. New heist is full of bugs & recycled content. Not to mention payout goes down to 400k after the first run, and it costs 16m to just get started. OK
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I kidnapped people and tortured people and also did lots of drugs and had sex with prostitutes, game gave me the ability to live the life i never could
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game got hacked, I finally got my account back from Rockstar and played online almost maxing out my progression and they caught it late suspending my account and wiping my player. Support will not look into the issue and told me all suspensions are final. Garbage lazy customer service.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought gta v on this account before I changed emails and they wont help me fix the issue because they cant verify I bought the game WHEN ITS IN MY STEAM LIBRARY. What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke, never will I ever play another rockstar game. Edit : I tried contacting them again with my receipt and my steam account info and was told they couldn't verify I owned the game and closed the ticket with no further questions, this should be criminal.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No real enhancement over the legacy version. BattlEye makes it unplayable on Linux. It's so good it's still full of cheaters on Windows anyway. There's no need for implementation of a broken Anti-Cheat and you know it. The worst of all of this is GTA+. That's the cancer in video games we hate. A monthly subscription for content that used to be in the game!?!? And it goes on with GTA VI.. No disc in box. And Sony follows suit a few days after!? That's more of a coincidence... You and Sony are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s my own game, but they can’t help me with account recovery because I can’t remember the password to my linked Gmail. All I want is for them to remove that restriction so I can play again. They keep closing my support tickets without giving any real answer. Even when I try to get past the automated responses, my tickets still get closed. It feels like I’m being forced to buy the game again, even though I already own it. Honestly, Rockstar, I’m frustrated with this situation. I don’t want to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't access my Rockstar account anymore because I lost access to my old email. Rockstar support just closes every ticket without the slightest hint of willingness to help.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To play the game you need to verify your rockstar account, otherwise you cant even open it. They would not send the email to verify the account and their customer support is terrible. After following all of their recommended steps and automated support nonsense I submitted a ticket which they immediately closed without fixing the problem or explaining their reasoning, then their support ticket system stopped allowing me to submit a ticket and just gave error flags. fun fact they recently got…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game runs perfectly fine on steam deck, in singleplayer! ...so why implement battleye, and not enable Linux support? why turn it into an "always online" mess? makes no sense at all
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The enhanced title is a complete joke. The game is arguably in a worse state than "legacy". While I have to admit i haven't seen any hackers so far, battle-eye for some reason decides to kick you from the game randomly and you have to completely quit the game otherwise it will keep kicking you from any online match. There are connection bugs when you are doing certain heists, me and my friend can't complete the diamond casino heist because it keeps kicking him from the game right at the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to love GTA5 & the online, to the point it was considered one of my favourite games; in-fact I'd say the story is still one of my favourites. However, what Rockstar has done to the online is shameful. They've nerfed heists to a point where it's no longer fun to play them while introducing a new heist that is extremely buggy and they don't intend on releasing fixes for it. Kortz centre heist update entirely ruined the online. Cayo Perico doesn't even pay $1M anymore; Kortz Centre their…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Purchased the game but I didn't realize it needed kernel level anti cheat to play the base game. I don't play online just not into it. I wanted to walk around and play GTA 5 offline, enjoy the story, shoot some stuff, but I couldn't event install the game without Battleye. I requested a refund and deleted the download. Thanks but no thanks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a review for GTA Online, the Story mode is a 10/10 If you are thinking of purchasing GTA for the Online mode, do not do it. GTA Online is a buggy, extremely abusable mess designed to be as predatory as possible. 1/3rd of players in every public server is modding their game and the community is terrible. The Gameplay: Absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Nobody is playing anything other than freemode and every other matchmaking-based mode like jobs are completely empty and devoid of players,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They have officially started paywalling content behind GTA+ in the safehouse in the hills update. I have had the same GTA online character for 13 years and to be limited like this is the worst. I recommend anyone to stay away if you want to experience the entire game without a subscription.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't play this pile of garbage becuase my email got hacked and now I can't log in to my Rockstar account, so I can't access every R* game I've BOUGHT, and their support isn't really helping! Will NEVER ever buy anything from them again. This is exactly why i refuse to buy games on steam that have secondary launchers. I hope steam will remove these garbage games until they make them full on steam. So before you buy their games, think twice cuz this might happen to you....

neutral · AI labelView post →Rockstar’s “final big score” before GTA VI is a mass economy nerf disguised as a museum heist. And I actually bought GTA+ for this update. Seriously? This is what I paid for? The Kortz Center Heist should have been a celebration of GTA Online after nearly thirteen years. Instead, Rockstar used it as an excuse to make some of the game’s most popular money-making activities significantly worse, seemingly so this overpriced new heist would look generous by comparison. To host the Kortz Center…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only recommend you play this offline or with friends only. This game is great but unfortunately anytime you go online there's ALWAYS someone who has to kill you over and over simply for existing or a hacker will show up and ♥♥♥♥ your ♥♥♥♥ up. If the game had less ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ online and less hackers/cheaters I'd recommend it. But considering how toxic the community currently is online- I cannot on good faith recommend this to anyone who is playing solo online.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This could have just been an update to the original game I have no idea why there are two different versions now. I have no idea if I should migrate my GTA Online account or not because I won't be able to play the old version. This is a disaster why did they do this? Very weird.

I've always felt the money we make hasn't nearly caught up to the inflation of everything they've been selling the past few years but besides that being able to bounce from CEO to Mercenary to Drug Kingpin to Foreign Smuggler all in one game and have it work seamlessly together is crazy

I don't know if there's anyone left who hasn't played it yet, but if there is, they absolutely must buy and try it before GTA VI comes out, because once GTA VI is released, you won't even look at this game again.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've honestly tried giving GTA Online Enhanced a chance, but this game is becoming impossible to enjoy. Half the time I can't even get into Online. I'll sit through a loading screen just for the anti-cheat to kick me out before I even get to play. Then I have to restart the whole thing and hope the game doesn't freeze on another loading screen. The most annoying part is that I don't even use mods or cheats. My game is completely clean, yet I get kicked constantly for no reason. Meanwhile,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not like the idea of having to install something kernel level to play a video game. I have no interest in playing online... This is a single player game to me. I really do not feel like dealing with a rootkit ever again if I can help it. I do not understand how these are still allowed or accepted as a solution. The only reason I am not refunding this is because it was free in some capacity from buying the original game.

I only beat the story mode, so I’m just gonna judge the game off that alone. Three main chars, all totally different vibes but all tangled up in the same messy fate.
