3. Gushingly Beautiful Graphics
It goes without saying that from the footage, GTA V looks absurdly incredible and will easily go down as one of the best looking titles from this generation, if not the most impressive. Its absolutely staggering what Rockstar has accomplished leaving me saying to myself one word; how!? Its equally impressive and one thing for a more linear and straightforward experience like The Last of Us to look as gorgeous as it does but GTA V is a gigantic sandbox title. It almost seems physically impossible for a current generation console or even PC to render the things were seeing but we are. Rockstar has evidently mastered programming for these consoles and has decided that theyre ending it in grand fashion whilst leaving us contemplating why we even need new consoles. The sunny beaches, fire effects, lighting, shadows, and sheer attention to detail on everything from clothes to cars to streets to guns to blood are mind blowing. All we can do is applaud Rockstar as we lose ourselves in Los Santos in awe.
