The Review: Grand Theft Auto V
Hey steemians, how are you? I am Jacks and are welcome to a new edition of The Review, a section in which I analyze a videogame and evaluated it on a scale of 1 to 100 guiding me under the following parameters: History, playability, graphics, band sound and other technical aspects.
Today in The Review will talk about a videogame that went on sale some time ago, a videogame that became a favorite among the fans of the saga Grand Theft Auto, and is that by the title and should know what videogame we talk today, so we better start at once, today in The Review we will talk Grand Theft Auto V.
Grand Theft Auto V is a videogame belonging to the saga Grand Theft Auto created by Rockstar. GTA V is a videogame that belongs to the action-adventure genre of open world, which makes it a sandbox, in this particular genre the player has the freedom to move around the stage, also the videogames belonging to the genre usually have main and secondary missions that the player can perform at any time. The main objective of the sandbox genre is to imitate or rather to recreate the real activity of a city or another population, also within it you can perform all kinds of activities. Some recognized videogames that belong to the genre are: Assassin´s Creed Origins, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, The Witcher III Wild Hunt, Metal Gear Solid V and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Grand Theft Auto V would be announced by Rockstar Games through the social network Twitter in mid-2011. This announcement revealed that the videogame would be set in the fictional city of Los Santos, same city where it was set Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That same year, but in November the videogame trailer would be revealed, this trailer brought with it a lot of surprises, the main one? The videogame for the first time would not focus on a single character, it would focus on three; Michael, Trevor y Franklin.
The videogame would not go on sale until September 17, 2013. And when it came out it was received with high praise from critics. Media recognized as Metacritic and GameRankings praised the game for aspects such as its history, playability, characters and of course its setting; Los Santos.
The story takes place nine years after the frustrated assault carried out by a group of thieves from North Yankton, that assault left one of the group members dead, another under arrest and forced another to live in hiding.
Michael Townley, belonged to the group of thieves and was the one who had been presumed dead after the assault in North Yankton, but in fact he made a deal with the FBI and was placed under witness protection with his family, thus obtaining a new identity; Michael De Santa. Franklin Clinton meanwhile is a scammer who lives in the south of Los Santos, gang territory such as Families and Ballas, although he decides to go from that and is dedicated to seizing cars for a "businessman" called Simeon Yetarian. Franklin for an order of Simeon would try to seize the car of the son of Michael, but it would end up knowing the ex-thief, the latter would frustrate the work of Franklin and in a certain way it would cause him to stop working for Simeon. Franklin after that I would try to work for Michael, but he rejects it saying that he is already retired.
Although a certain incident with a mexican drug trafficker will make Michael have to return to the game, only with the help of Franklin and his former partner Lester, they would assemble a team in order to Assaulting a jewelry store in the city, said assault would be successful. Michael after paying off the debt with the drug trafficker believes he can go back to his quiet life, but Trevor sees the news of the theft on television and concludes that Michael actually he's still alive, so he decides to go find him to get answers.
After the Michael and Trevor meeting, both will start working together with Franklin as a team to steal banks and perform various jobs for different characters.
GTA V is played by three characters; Michael, Trevor and Franklin. This point makes the story of the videogame is the most interesting, since we can know from three different points of view, but good that we will talk in the next section, in this I will present the protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V.
Michael De Santa:
An ex-thief, successful and retired thanks to his treatment with the FBI. Living under the protection of witnesses has allowed her to have a quiet and luxurious life in a mansion located at the n of Los Santos, more precisely in Rockford Hills. Michael has money and a quiet life, what he always dreamed of, but he lives bored, his marriage has broken down over time and the relationship with his children is not the best we can say. He will begin to feel alive again after his return to the business along with Franklin and Trevor.
Franklin Clinton:
He is a young swindler who lives in the south of Los Santos and works making foreclosures for Simeon Yetarian, owner of a car dealership. He is a trained driver who can work under pressure, he also knows how to handle himself with weapons so he is a boy to be feared. He will try to get out of his bad financial situation no matter what he has to do.
Trevor Philips:
He is a former army pilot, thief, murderer, sociopath, deranged...basically he is a madman. He's a pretty dangerous guy because of his temper. He of the three is probably the most unstable and dangerous, he is not afraid of anyone, or anything. He lives in the outskirts of Los Santos, in Alamo Sea, in the county of Blaine to be more specific, he aspires to become the top exporter and importer of weapons and methamphetamine in the area.
The story of Grand Theft Auto V seems to me of the best that could have been created for a videogame of this style, the history of this videogame has everything; Action, drama, comedy, satire and much more is what we can find in this story. And it is interesting the twist that was given to the saga with GTA V, normally we know the videogames belonging to the saga GTA for having stories in which the protagonist must go making his way through of the underworld to reach the top, but in this videogame from the first moment we enter a world where the protagonists or at least two of them are already big fish; Michael and Trevor already has experience in breaking the law and they know how to do it, because when we meet them they are robbing a bank. And I think adding a character like Franklin who is basically a novice in breaking the law does not miss that feeling of being a simple gang member that will become something much bigger, sansación that gave us videogames as: GTA III, GTA: VICE CITY and GTA: San Andreas. The story is one of the strongest I've seen in the whole series of Grand Theft Auto, and the fact of having three main characters gives fluidity to the narrative and makes it true.
Something that is also deserved that stands out is the development that its main characters have, Rockstar has done something amazing with this trio, each of them has his life and with that come his own problems, although they also know how to solve them, in their clear way it is. The relationship of the trio formed by Michael, Trevor and Franklin it seems simply spectacular, the first is the leader and the master mind of the group, the second is madness and brute strength personified, and the third is a newbie who will take the best of both. In previous lines I gave to understand that the fact of having three characters makes the history of this videogame one of the best in the series, and is that having these three characters allows that story can be told from different points of view, something that in turn gives complexity and depth to the plot.
And although the story is incredible, for me personally the best thing about this videogame is its playability; in many missions we will have to go only with one character, but as soon as two of them coincide or the three of us can change between them in the middle of the action, something that I consider simply great.
The gameplay of this one GTA is on another level, it surpasses everything it had done Rockstar Games before combining the best of itself, the videogame takes the fluid movements of Red Dead Redemption , such as walking, running, bending, covering, etc. It also takes some resources used in videogames of the company as the bullet time of Max Payne 3 that ends up providing a first person feeling in a videogame like GTA, which is in third person. Something else worth mentioning is the change of mechanics in terms of driving is concerned, this was much criticized in its predecessor Grand Theft Auto IV and something that was improved in this videogame. In a few words, the videogame takes the best of the company's videogames to create such an incredible title as Grand Theft Auto V.
As for the visual, GTA V not only exceeds graphically all the games of the series (something that was expected), but also exceeds many titles that has completely linear stories. Los Santos is a completely detailed city, the buildings, the streets, the stores, the expressions of the characters, everything in this videogame is designed with extreme care, so as far as visual aspect is concerned we can say that this videogame is the best waths up. I think even today that it has been almost five years since it premiered I can say with absolute certainty that Grand Theft Auto V is the best that there is today, as far as visual level is concerned.
The soundtrack of the videogame is also at another level. The magazine Rolling Stone at the time interviewed Ivan Pavlovich (supervisor and responsible for choosing the music for the videogame), who confirmed that this was the biggest soundtrack he had ever worked on Rockstar Games with more than 200 songs and compositions that we can enjoy in this videogame.
The interesting thing about the soundtrack would be how it works, similar to what happened in Red Dead Redemption, the soundtrack of the videogame works in a way that reflects the situation in which you are at that moment, since whether you are driving quietly through the city or in the middle of a shootout against the police, music will accompany you.
We're done with the analysis of Grand Theft Auto V, you know what that means, right? It's time for judgment.
Grandt Theft Auto V I think it's one of the best videogames in history, it was a videogame that made us forget something like the "failure" of GTA IV, this videogame is a masterpiece; the history, the characters and the immense world that offers us GTA V is something incredible.
And well after the exhaustive analysis and the comments I have made, I grant Grand Theft Auto V a score of 97/100.
The work of Rockstar Games is not only an authentic jewel within the world of video games, but also becomes one of the best video games in the series and can be compared with titles like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and the sensational and unforgettable Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The videogame represents the best of the saga, and the story of the trio of thieves is simply amazing.

Friend the game came out four years ago, have you lived in a cave for so long? (laughs), but seriously, I would prefer you to avoid comments like this one where you ask to follow you, to many members of the community it makes us uncomfortable, and I understand that it probably has good content and you are upset because many people do not see it , but believe me, if you make good content soon more people will see it, in the end I have nothing more to say.
Yes thanks you about this. I'm sorry for the unconvenience.
I always try to make a good content.
Nice to sharing with you.
hi, I have this game since 2 weeks ago and you are correct. The thing I enjoy the most is the freedom you have to do almost anything on the city and the triatlon events. GTA IV was boring and ugly to me. Oh, and in online is awesome!.
I loved your spanish post of Shadow of the colossus and super mario odyssey. Keep up the good work!!
From GTA: ONLINE I have many things to say, but in this post I wanted to do as if it never existed, I have a couple of problems with that multiplayer. On the other hand I'm glad that you liked what I write friend, thanks for the support.
