Definitely a go to for a game to play with friends!

**THIS REVIEW IS BEING POSTED AT THE TIME OF THE CEASE AND DESIST TO OPEN IV**

I'd like to state that in this review, I will be addressing multiple issues of Take Two Interactive, including the current elephant in the room at this time.

Honestly, I've supported Rockstar Games multiple times. When Grand Theft Auto 5 first came out, I was waiting outside for copy for the Xbox 360, even though the game didn't ship with the over-hyped multiplayer I was dying to play. I played the single-player for eons, collecting everything there was to collect and grinding through to buy the golf area, which was absolute hell till I discovered the stock market. GTA:O was then released not too long after that and I was ready. Red bulls and pizza, took the day off of work just to experience a lag-fest. Now, I can't blame them for that, it was overwhelming how many people supported Rockstar and TTI on their game and it'd be crazy for it not to be so successful. There was an advertisement for the game on television every commercial break.

Xbox One released and for a long while, I waited till they released a version for the "next-gen" consoles. Of course, another midnight release happened and I was there for Rockstar's child, Grand Theft Auto: V. Played it just as much as the first one, redid my singleplayer, played online with friends, and experienced the absolute repetitious grindfest that it was, but it was Grand Theft Auto with my friends and there was nothing like it out there. I had a really decent PC at the time, decent for that time, so I pre-purchased the game for PC for myself and my girlfriend at the time. She never experienced the game so I was excited to show it off to so many new people who didn't like consoles, plus a free shark card so I don't have to do lousy microtransactions.

The release of GTA 5 for PC was... so unthrilling. I took off work and my girlfriend took off school. We had the game predownloaded, along with the majority of my friends, but we couldn't log into social club, which means we couldn't even play the game. A few of my friends had to wait weeks, but I was lucky to be able to get myself and my girlfriend online that night. A night of binge playing missions over and over that I've done 100s of times, but I did it with someone else so it was fun. My girlfriend at the time got bored of the game after a short while, so I started playing with other friends and we liked to do things first-person-only.

I didn't like the FOV of the first person view and the modifier was anything but great. Of course, I did a bit of searching online and found that there was a tweak to change your field of view in first person mode. Downloaded, installed, went back to playing with friends because who would ban someone for a field of view mod in a game like Grand Theft Auto? Rockstar/TTI would. I was banned for a week or two for a field-of-view mod, confirmed by Rockstar in a support message. After spending almost $200 on Grand Theft Auto 5, via three separate copies, I had a slight bitter taste in my mouth. How can you be so unfriendly to people who want to change what you were too lazy to do?

I spent that week playing other games because I wasn't too worried about it. I played GTA:V on and off that year because after playing it on three consoles, it's not hard to get burnt out on it anymore. I noticed an absolute ton of new modifications for the game were out, especially ones that looked insanely pretty. I downloaded a single mod, which was an ENB modification to make the game look a lot nicer and played online for a good two weeks before receiving my permanent ban from Rockstar/TTI. Banned for making their textures higher quality and more vibrant, just to give the game a newer feel.

A lot of what brings people together in the PC community is modifying games and a lot of games survive strictly because of modifying. Titles like Garry's Mod, Skyrim, Fallout:NV, and Rockstar's own San Andreas were modified so players could have new and exciting experiences with the game. It's not because you did a lazy job and a lot of the time it's because the person modifying it had a different idea than yours. They aren't trying to hurt your company because believe me you've made enough money and they've already purchased a legal copy of your game (most of the time). You've taken a direction that a lot of game developers would consider deathly to do. You've directly done the opposite of what your entire community wanted. It's not like they're harming your game, I mean, sure there's weird mods created, but those weird mods are someone's hobby. You've ruined someone's hobby. You've wasted someone's time. You've essentially shut off a world of new ideas and possibilities all because of what?

Take Two, you're the biggest joke of a company and I hope you know it. I'm sure you're still swimming around in our money, but I hope it eats away at you.

Do you like intense, well-produced 80s music? Do you like intense action scenes with arms and heads kicked or ripped off? Do you like intense anything? Are you, yourself, an intense person? Do you like Dinosaurs or hot Barbaric women? If you answered yes to any of these questions, watch this... now. 10/10 Karate Chops.

This game never seems to get old, the possibilities are almost endless.
