Assuming there are no further delays, on the 17th September this year, Grand Theft Auto V will be released. From the grim and dreary streets of Liberty City, you are now in the sunny celebrity capital of La-La Land and (according to Rockstar) in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
Each new GTA game raises the bar and this time ’round, it’s sure to be no different. GTA V will be the biggest and hopefully the best GTA game ever (and most expensive so far). Not that you’d need reminding or anything, but here’s 10 reasons why GTA V will be game of the year 2013. We may have to wait a bit longer, but there’s no doubt that it will be absolutely worth it. So, without further ado, let’s take a look…
10. Three’s A Crowd
Grand Theft Auto V will let you control three characters: a retired career criminal named Michael, a psychotic former soldier named Trevor, and matchstick man Franklin. You can take control of any of them anytime you’re playing, regardless of whatever it is they’re doing. When the three of them unite for missions you can take control of the role you’d rather play (e.g. shooting, driving/flying) if that what the mission involves.
Few games allow you to take control of two characters let alone three – even then it’s usually for one or two missions – but GTA V will let you control three characters throughout the game and beyond. It’s an exciting prospect.

I wouldn’t be so quick to jump the gun on this game. For me, GTA 4 was a giant disappointment. The driving was a damn hassle, friends were a nuisance with their incessant calling, the missions themselves were more like chores, Niko was a douche, and it just took itself way too seriously. Since the conception of the open-world game there have been many good installments. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few sleeper hits come around. GTA is a great franchise, and I don’t doubt that it will be great. However it must be a full revolution for the game to snag game of the year which is still early to tell if it will or won’t.
Yes! Of course GTA V will be game of the year no doubt!
Yes! Of course GTA V will be game of the year, no doubt!
Of course it will rockstar rules
when it will came in pc version
ofcourse it will be game of the year
I hate this like this. The game isn’t even out yet and already claiming to be GOTY? We haven’t even seen very much gameplay, only trailers.
Makes me sick.
That being said.. yes, if they do it right it will easily become GOTY.
Dumbasses that didn’t like GTA 4 shouldn’t doubt this one, if you think GTA V is gonna have little features or something like in GTA 4 trust me you are wrong. GTA V will no doubt win Game Of The Year it’s so obvious it’s inevitable because well first the game will be damn amazing and second GTA has one of thee hugest fanbases out of a lot of games(bigger fan base than CoD) so let’s move on to more less obvious ones like which will be the runner up or something like that.
I don’t really care which game gets goty. People make too big a deal out of these awards but at the end of the day it’s all a matter of opinions. With that said I’m really looking forward to Gta V which is my most anticipated game (along with Watchdogs).
who in the world puts in a 100 million dollars in a single game ?!?!?!
Are they making a video game or an MMO?! Wait don’t answer.
Also don’t jump the gun too quick GTA V will have to be executed properly to be a shoe-in for GOTY
Good article. Disagree on insane missions though. I’d say, as unrealistic as they are, Saints Row tops that.
No way GTA V is GOTY material. It is just GTA IV with a bigger map, big deal! I would prefer The Last of Us or Bioshock Ultimate to win GOTY. It will be most overrated game this year.
Think of this, gta san andreas outsold every game on the ps2, and lots of people still play it now 7 years later! GtaV is back in Andreas without venturas or san fierro but it could outsell on ps3 360 ps4 720 pc wiiu because of one thing, rockstar knows how to make games and they just keep getting better! Keep up the good work rockstar, dont let us down like gta iv even though it still was a great game.
is GTA V the entire reason for this sites existence??!! Of course, they do these endless pointless ‘features’ for the click-throughs..but come on, one every day going over the same old ground??!! pathetic really.
thank you for saying this!!!
you get a companion pet for multiplayer free roam
I want to be able to kill children and babies and rape women and men and collect welfare and take a dump in the street and snort coke like I do in real life homes. I yi yi yi, reba!!
I believe and hiope that GTA 5 will be the game of the year. However, I find this article designed for extremely stupid people. What makes something a game of the year is not for something that you can do in other games. It’s for something that other games do not have. Ducking and taking cover is not a GTA unique feature. And about music, there is no way the author will know if the music will be better than the music of any other games. One point just explains the amount of resources the dev used which is not a point. I can easily say the author does not know the difference between facts and assumption as he mentioned submarines are drivable. But the worst point is Point 6 which is basically saying it is going to be number one because it is still a GTA game which shows that the GTA gamers choose games based on franchise names rather than real analysis.
I do know the difference between fact and assumption, and the fact that one of the screenshots shows a miniture submarine indicates to me that they can be driven/sailed. And you’ve taken point 6 too literally, Rockstar raise the bar for each GTA game in many ways, and many other developers have mimicked what Rockstar do. I’m aware other games have cover systems but Rockstar are working to make theirs superior to other systems and since GTA 3 Rockstar have always had a brilliant soundtrack, and other games do have brillaint soundtracks, Skyrim being a good example. It also sounds like you’re saying I’m stupid, granted I’m not an academic, but I am far from stupid.
