The array of things to do is immense, from the usual TDM, racing (Land, Sea and Air). to the what you would expect, Bank robbing, buying weapon and fast cars, to the not expected. Tennis match's, parachuting and arm wrestling. It has a Red Dead feel about it, ganging up completing missions and tackling other players online in the same world as you. The concept is great and in theory should work. But I hope they have learnt lessons from Red Dead. When you did meet an opposing gang, it just ended in an endless gunfight with no reasoning simply because they where there to shoot. For me it spoilt the whole online experience.
GTA5 online offers as much customisation as PS Home, able to pick clothes, hair styles and even buy apartments and garages for your own personal private collection of planes, trains and automobiles. When you get bored of doing what Rockstar have provided, make your own content, share with the world and play other peoples. This online experience is looking to grow over time with more and wonderful things to see and do.
It all looks promising and an entire game in itself, my only concern is that it'll be wrecked by the users themselves. Someone will buy a Fighter plane and start bombing everything that moves. By the looks Rockstar have taken the best aspects of various games and with what they learnt from GTA4 have even us the future on gaming online NOW.
However, you will have to wait a further 2weeks after the release of the gaming itself, The developers say they want players to get a customised with the game before tackling this monster.
GTA5 will hit shelves mid September and will hopefully still be played long into the next generation.
