It’s been almost a decade since Rockstar initially released Grand Theft Auto V. Landing first on the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360; there are currently three game iterations. Succeeding iterations come in the form of next-gen upgrades, firstly on the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One. Recently, Rockstar decided to release a somewhat unwanted upgrade to the current generation of consoles; the Playstation 5 and the Xbox Series.
Even with its decade-old age, Grand Theft Auto V still has a large player base. Thanks to Rockstar’s consistent game mode support, the number of players is a product of the ever-expanding multiplayer content. With all of that out of the way, let’s get a deeper insight into what Grand Theft Auto V offers the players. Let’s start our GTA V Overview by looking at the characters.
Grand Theft Auto V: The Protagonists
Franklin Clinton
A Lost Santos native, he became part of the “streets” and joined The Families with his best friend, Lamar Davis. The Families is a small gang that commits various crimes to live day by day.
The GTA 5 story revolves around Franklin Aspires, which is to become much more than his petty life of crime for a small lump of money. He wants something more; he wants to live a life of luxury. That’s where he met his mentor Michael De Santa.
Michael De Santa
Michael Townley is a former bank robber and a notorious criminal who exchanged his life as a criminal for a fresh new start as an “upstanding citizen” under the witness protection program of the FIB. Upon his new leash in life, he lives by the name of Michael De Santa.
Michael realizes that living everyday life is boring, with an ungrateful family, a therapist who he feels is only milking the money out of him. Now, he wants to get back to his old ways, much to the dismay of the FIB agent protecting him, Dave Norton.
Trevor Philips
Trevor Philips is a hot-headed individual involved in Michael’s previous criminal activities. He later found his own company named Trevor Philips Enterprises, which operates illegal drug dealing and weapon smuggling transactions in Blaine County.
He is very aggressive and, for the most part, reckless. He was the reason why the 2004 bank heist went south; Trevor chose to kill the security guard at the bank; hence, the police became much more aggressive than they’d hoped for, even killing one of their members.
Grand Theft Auto V: The Plot
For the plot, we’ll only be tackling the early segments of the game to prevent spoilers for those of you who haven’t played the game yet.
A Heist That Failed
In 2004, a crew consisting of Michael Townley, Brad, Trevor, one unnamed driver, and Lester tried to rob a bank. During the heist, Trevor, being the impulsive man, decided to kill a security guard. Trevor’s action triggered the immediate and much more violent response of the police.
They escaped using a getaway vehicle; however, the police relentlessly chased them until they shot down the getaway driver. With the driver dead, the crew had no choice but to travel on foot. A huge shootout ensues, killing Brad, while Trevor makes his exit believing that Michael and Brad are done for. Trevor did not know that Michael instead made a deal with the FIB to turn over a new leash under their witness protection program.
Nine years have passed since the incident; Michael is living a miserable life under the new name of Michael De Santa with an ungrateful family. Michael’s day-to-day life of no action and being clean makes him miss his former self.

Rookie Meets The Veteran
Franklin and Lamar, two men trying to live their lives day by day, work for a conspicuous car dealership owner named Simeon. Of course, Simeon employs illegal tactics and options to make a living out of his dealership. Simeon tasked Franklin to “repossess” a car owned by the De Santas.
Unfortunately for Franklin, he did not know that Michael was in the backseat of the vehicle. Pointing a gun directly toward the head of Franklin, Michael threatens Franklin to drive the car into the dealership as a form of payback against Simeon. Having no choice left, Franklin rams the vehicle into the dealership, and afterward, Michael starts beating the hell out of Simeon.
Michael has some satisfaction from his stint with Franklin and offers a drink at his house. Michael was mesmerized by Franklin’s willingness to do such a thing even though it cost him his job. Franklin takes up this offer, thinking that this would decision would finally change the course of his life.
They got into their first entanglement together when Michael got a call from his son, Jimmy, telling Michael that he tried to sell their boat and now thieves were speeding away with the boat. Jimmy also clarified that he is still in the boat, triggering Michael to go after the thieves.
Along the highway, Franklin and Michael chase the thieves. Michael asked Franklin to jump over the speeding boat upon arriving near the boat. Franklin rescued Jimmy; however, they were unable to retrieve the boat. Now, Michael fully trusts Franklin and tells him that Michael will call him immediately if any jobs are lying around.
After returning to his home, Michael discovers that his wife is cheating on him with her tennis coach, setting Michael on a rampage. He immediately calls Franklin to accompany him in chasing the instructor.
The instructor decided to park at a house in the Vinewood Hills, and somehow, Michael brought the house down. Unbeknownst to Michael, the house belonged to one of the mistresses of Martin Madrazo, a powerful drug lord.
The First Heist With A New Friend and Reunion With A Familiar Face
Now, Madrazo puts a hit on both Michael and Franklin. After dispatching the henchmen, Madrazo decided to let them live if they were able to pay the money to repair the damages done to the house.
Desperate to pay Madrazo, Michael contacts Lester to commence a heist. Lester still deems Franklin untrustworthy, and to prove himself, Franklin decides to do a mission for Lester, which involves killing the CEO of Lifeinvader.
After successfully assassinating the CEO of Lifeinvader, Lester briefs Michael, Franklin, and the crew to start the heist. Successfully pulling off the elaborate heist, Michael and Franklin were finally able to pay Madrazo.
The heist drew the attention of Trevor, who’s living in a remote desert location while dealing with gangs, production of illegal drugs, etc. All this time, Trevor was sending letters to Brad in prison, believing that he was still alive.
However, Dave Norton, a FIB agent, was the one writing the letters back to Trevor to keep him from knowing that Michael was still alive. After dealing with a few unfinished businesses with Johnny Klebitz (Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and The Damned protagonist), he decides to move to Los Santos to find out what exactly happened with Michael.
Trevor creates an astounding entrance at Michael’s house while both Mr. and Mrs. De Santa are arguing. Later on, Trevor also discovered that Michael has returned to living a criminal life once again. This so-called “awkward” reunion is cut short when Michael finds out that his daughter Tracey went on a television show called Fame or Shame.
The show is hosted by a disgusting television personality Lazlow Jones. To protect Michael’s daughter, Trevor and Michael decided to go after Lazlow to save Tracey. They both beat Lazlow to a pulp which somewhat induces a memory of the past between the two.
After that stint, Trevor, Michael, and Franklin’s faith intertwine with one another in a crazy ride of ups and downs within the vicinity of Los Santos.
Grand Theft Auto V: Gameplay
Grand Theft Auto V’s gameplay revolves mainly around going on missions, progressing through the in-game story. It’s more of a “go here and do that kind of system.” It revolutionizes itself by creating a more “customizable” experience, with random NPCs providing missions while slowly soaking in the sizeable open-world experience or customizing your vehicle and upgrading its existing engine.
What’s better than this is that Grand Theft Auto V introduced the first-ever “Swap between protagonists” mechanic, allowing you to be more tactical about the missions.
We did get a brief glimpse of a mission involving a heist in Grand Theft Auto IV called Three Leaf Clover; however, Grand Theft Auto V further revolutionizes that mode by introducing a “hire your own crew” mechanic.
You can choose a crew member whose skills are bad, but you get a higher payout at the end with the risk of sabotaging the mission altogether, or you can hire a great crew member with more experience in exchange for a more significant cut in the payout.
Rockstar also introduced the first-person view for this game. With that view, you’ll be able to roam around the streets of Los Santos in first-person view, similar to games like Skyrim, Fallout, or Dying Light.
The attention to detail within the world of Los Santos is breathtaking as it offers even a detailed view of the dashboard inside a car (while in first-person view). Even within combat, there’s a bit of recoil, muzzle flash, etc., that you can see during the FPS mode.
Overall, Grand Theft Auto V is a definitive experience of how open-world games should play.
Here’s a better overview of the Grand Theft Auto V’s gameplay:
- Features excellent customization of your open-world experience
- Random NPCs that give you different types of missions.
- Excellent implementation of mechanics during the Heist missions.
- Option to switch between First-Person View and Third-Person View.
- Decent physics system
- Exciting, fun, and quirky missions, whether they may be main storyline missions or side missions.
- Ability to switch between three different protagonists at any given time (with a few exceptions during main storyline missions and side missions)
- Fascinating attention to detail when it comes to environment and world-building.
Grand Theft Auto V: Weapons
Grand Theft Auto V sports a wide array of weapons to choose from. Most weapons in this game have a blend of realism and arcadey feel to it, and they are straightforward to use, mostly just involving you aiming and clicking on heads.
You shouldn’t expect it to blow you away with mechanics like in other realistic FPS shooting games. To be fair, Rockstar refined their mechanics when it comes to combat, such as a better cover system and somewhat decent ragdoll physics.

Grand Theft Auto V: Vehicles
There are a lot of controllable vehicles in Grand Theft Auto V. Amounting to almost 300+ cars, there’s no shortage of your preferred experience while getting around in the city of Los Santos.
Similar to the weapons, vehicles in Grand Theft Auto V sport the same feel, a blend of realism-arcadey experience. Not to say that this is bad, but it certainly helps you get into the action, especially when you’re in a high-speed car chase.

Grand Theft Auto V: Multiplayer Overview
One of the most beloved modes in Grand Theft Auto V is the multiplayer mode. Within the multiplayer servers, you’ll be able to tackle only a few gameplay modes, such as deathmatch, races, etc.

Here are a few takeaways from the multiplayer mode in Grand Theft Auto V.
- Option to purchase properties that range from low-end to luxury apartments.
- Option to purchase vehicles including tanks, helicopters, etc.
- Option to customize and personalize your CAC (Create-a-character)
- Play with other players in different and challenging heist missions; these missions reward you with a vast amount of money to spend.
- Play on different servers with different mechanics and objectives.
- Race with other players on various maps with multiple obstacles.
- Leveling up your character by earning reputation points (earned through various missions and activities in Grand Theft Auto Online)
- A wide array of multiplayer-only vehicles.
