Nothing Compares!

good graphics yes

the workshop has a lot of boobs

Team Fortress 2 has been one of my favorite games of all time for a while now, and I've gotta say, this game is absolutely fantastic. Yeah the game has it's flaws, but at the end of the day, so does every game.

The Game and it's overall universe has character designs and humor unlike any other game. The characters for one are amazing, and completely distinguishable from each other, both in physical appearance, but as well as weapons and their personality. The game has a lot of character outside of the main characters, a fully fleshed out story, background characters like Miss Pauling and Saxton Hale. The music is also amazingly good

The game being free is also another upside, as it's accessible to almost everyone, yeah there are micro-transactions but they're completely optional, although it is encouraged.

Like i said, the game has it's flaws, like i haven't raged as much on any game than i have with TF2, but at the end of the day, i have had more fun in this game, than i have any other game out there.

The Maps, Both made in-house and by the community are all really good as well, and the settings for the vast majority of the maps are very unique, although some maps do look pretty similar.

There's an obvious skill difference between all the players, some are gods at the game, some are terrible, some are in the middle. coming across a "god tier" player as someone either in the middle or far down the skill spectrum can be very overwhelming and frustrating, most of the time it can feel unfair, but at the end of the day, the game has been out for over a decade now.

The training mode could get a update or two, as the current training mode only goes over 4 characters and they don't really go over much, like rocket jumping, and also the classes roles could be explained a lot more as well.

The default settings for the game also suck, and the game doesn't make it apparent that you can change stuff like FOV. The default HUD is good though.

Most of the bad things are drowned out by all of the good things i can say about this game. Thank you Valve, Robin Walker and everyone else who has worked on the game. This game is pretty close to being a masterpiece. Godspeed Valve, thank you for making the best and most addictive first person shooter out there!

I enjoy playing GTA 5, the story is great and so are the characters, music selection, cars, weapons, map, etc.
Los Santos is a very well designed map with secrets that are still being found to this day. The story is good, but honestly, it isn't as good as it's predecessor, It's really fun to switch around with the different characters and see what they've being doing whilst you were playing the other, and they're special abilities are a good addition too. My favourite character to play as is Franklin.

although i much prefer GTA 4, this game is still good.

GTA Online however is a much different story. it's only fun when you're in a private lobby with friends. being in a public lobby is terrible. because of the amount of script kiddies there are, and also children who got a hold of their parents debit card just to buy a very overpowered flying bike that shouldn't even be in the game to begin with. GTA Online has become such a cash grab.

There is some good to say about GTA Online though. Rockstar is great at making characters and stories, and they do a pretty good job with every update. Kinda sucks that most of the missions are basically locked behind a paywall. having to buy stuff to simply play the missions. Kinda reminds me of the fact that you need to have enough Respect to be able to play the story of Saints Row 1 and 2.

I recommend getting this for GTA 5, but i can't really say the same about GTA Online, unless you have friends to play with. farming in this game isn't fun.

can't wait for this program to come out of beta and fully release!

This games are great, the stories, the characters, the map, the cars, the soundtrack, the humour and a lot more is astonishing, the modding community for game is also pretty ground breaking, at least for the time.

I've played through this game so much, That i've memorized the map layout. I know Liberty City better than my own home town. The map is a little on the small side, especially compared to its predecessor, and it's successor,

My favourite character is Roman Bellic, he doesn't seem to like me as much though, i never get called to go bowling, unlike everyone else. i'm always the one to start the hangout :(

Most people dislike how cars handle. but i really like how the cars work, it makes the cars actually seem real. It just takes time to get used to.

However, Visually, the game itself looks very bland,, especially when you play the base game, and TLAD, all-though TBOGT makes the game look a little bit better, but the colour pallet still sticks with the greys and the greens and what-not, and all-though Rockstar has been fixing it over the years, The game isn't optimized pretty well. another problem i have isn't with the game itself, but with the Rockstar Launcher, which is necessary to play both this, and GTA V. I don't see the point when games have their own launcher when on Steam. Steam is a game launcher itself. Having the Rockstar launcher be a needed thing to run actually the game, it means you just can't play the game without an internet connection, same goes with its successor.

This game was my first GTA ever, and it's my favourite out of the entire series. I can get past the Cons of the game because of how great the game actually is.
