I just bought GTA 5 for the PC. Great graphics. You get to be 3 characters, Franklin, a black guy from the hood, Michael, a retired bank robber, and Trevor, a psychopathic killer. Of the 3, I like the black guy. He is the funniest, has the funniest friends and is a hoot to role play. The one thing I don't like, that was repeated from GTA 4 and probably all the other GTA's that I never played, is the flying aspect. There is a setup where I have to fly a plane as the psycho, Trevor. This flying sequence is probably going to make me abandon the game. I have no use for flying. I tried only one flying game, a DOS F-14 game, and I hated it. I never did any of the Microsoft flying simulator games, either. Yes, I tried flying for real, and I hated that, too. Give me terra firma in real life and in my games. I abandoned GTA 4, not only because of the flying but because of having to constantly repeat the missions after constantly failing. What ever happened to the concept of being able to save whenever you wanted? Skyrim is the last time I saw that in games.
Unlike GTA 4, which had tons of side missions, there are very few side missions. The player is left to aimlessly drive around with nothing to do. If this is an example of GTA, this will emphatically be the last GTA game I will every waste my money on, because I have the sinking feeling, I have done just that. What a disappointment, and it is all due to this lousy flying sequence. I suppose after failing enough times, I will eventually learn to fly the plane, but I don't give a rat's ass about flying, and it has ruined the game for me.
