[@JayDeezNutz]

In my nostalgia feels with this. I was in college staying up all night completing the story and then joining online (when it worked) with friends to complete the little activities they had to offer. It was incredible. Fast forward 10 years later and I picked it up again to the surprise of a completely different game and experience. What a ride it’s been

[@T-Bone99]

same man, I was playing GTA thru high school with my friends (we even did that elite mastermind challenge thing where you get $12M) and the starting college i didnt play for 3 years, came back to it last year and have been playing here and there enjoying my time; mostly for the nostalgia. I mean, i was playing this damn game when i was like 14 in school. Now a grown ass man with responsibilities and the same music and cars still dazzle me and take me back to that time

The $500,000 Rockstar gave out at launch due to their mess ups felt like such a blessing, also I distinctively remember having exactly enough time to roll a joint in the amount of time it’d take to load in so wasn’t to bad

He's not kidding about there not being much to do at launch. Once I bought my Rhino I'd drive around clotheslining players with the cannon barrel, rotate it above them and laugh like an idiot when they'd try to stand and immediately get crumpled. I'm not sure if this was the "end game" content Rockstar had planned but it's what we had at the time.

[@hectorsanchez1377]

The saddest thing about this is that none of the online DLC vehicles ever made it to single player. It would be nice if they added them in one last update. Many of them could be added to the traffic, some in specific locations.

I don't understand why they didn't

[@sgtjrwhopper5683]

The story mode is actually stuck in the year it released 2013 where the storyline takes place. The online stays with current times which is why Franklin is older in online and actually owns his record company. The storyline is a constant reminder of the game that gave us this wild rollercoaster of a game that is GTAV today. The story is where everything started.

[@exactlywhatineeded]

I would’ve never thought that a gta video would make me think about life so much. So many memories and emotions while watching this. I played since launch and this game as seen many chapters of my life open and close. It feels like such a long time yet not long enough. Though I do love the time I spent online making friends and making memories, I wish I would’ve grown up sooner and take a bit of control of my life. Video games have brought good into my life but also took many things and people away. For me, today, I can say gaming wasn’t worth it for me

I remember being so hyped at 11 years old for this game, got my grandparents to let me buy it day 1 with the metal case. Played for many thousands of hours. Met my best friend of 7 years on the pacific standard glitch. Been grinding this last week as there’s still always something to do on this old gem. There will never be another gta 5 to me, even if 6 is better in every way. I get hyped for a lot of releases but this GTA5 is the only one that went above and beyond all expectations.

[@cadence3939]

This game also never fails to bring back nostalgia with me having the same account. My 10 year old cars, business names, saved clothes, and just driving around remembering where it all happened and endless laughs/serious talks with the homies.

[@endeflector320]

42:46 I know it was a pretty mid dlc but tbh it holds a special place in my heart. This was the first DLC in which I was actively waiting for its launch. (I started playing online actively around December 2019, but completely missed the casino heist) When it released, I was on vacation with my family, and had to wait a week and a half before I could play it. That was the longest week and a half of my life. I still remember impatiently waiting to download and log onto the game to play. Now, three years later, despite everything that's happened, I'm still playing.

Great video TGG! GTAV was announced when I was in my twenties and now I’m in my forties! As someone who started with the first GTA, you guys are lucky to start with V and the current online.

[@thatguy3221]

14:56 I never thought the heist update would come out so late considering the fact my first time playing GTA 5 was in 2015 and didn’t play online until summer 2017. Back then when I was a low level character, my favourite game mode was Special Race Series which then got removed several years later. That was legit the only and arguably the most enjoyable game mode I played on. I’d stay away from heists, free mode activities, gunfights and other update missions for a good amount of time because it was that enjoyable. I was 15 when playing online for the first time. Now I’m 21. What a journey.

[@tylerwest9007]

Watching this makes me feel so old man. I remember I bought GTA shortly after it came out. I was 8 at the time. I got it, had it a few days. But unfortunately, it was a little too violent for my eyes at the time. So I had to get rid of it. But I got it back in my teen years. Cannot believe it's lasted 10 years and is still one of the highest grossing games. Guess I truly am a GTA veteran. Damn!! So hard to believe it's been 10 years man. Still going strong. Congrats on 10 years GTA! Here's to all the good memories and for many many more to come!

Most of it was added over the years. When I first started playing GTA online, only way to money grind were OG heists and selling product in a public lobby. There wasn't much else to do either. Sometimes I think GTA actually lost a lot of players back then because there really wasn't a lot to do in the game.

[@Maple_774]

I didn't get GTA 5 until late 2014, it was probably a Christmas gift but I'd have to do some digging to find exactly when I got it, but some of my earliest memories on this game was with a bunch of friends just running around and doing some Last Team Standing gamemodes. One of the ones I remember the best was a Cars vs Jets mode where you just drive from the airport to somewhere up north (I forget the exact end point) and I remember being so good at that mode because nobody I played with really knew the game. Another classic mode was the RPG's vs Flying Cars (not actual flying cars, just regular cars going off ramps), those lobbies used to get so full every single match. I still remember the day the original Heists came out, there was so much hype around them. Just one of the many things you had to be there for.

I would've been very excited to see this video when I first started playing GTA online, which was only in February, 2023. To the new player, it explains everything that's going on in a short summary, compared to learning it slowly with friends and strangers. Often, the strangers are already jaded veterans who either don't have the time or interest to take you under their wing and explain the game to you. While that's an interesting way in itself to experience a new game, the depth of GTA is daunting if you're just starting out. As we can see by the encyclopedia of videos about GTA on KZbin, there is a huge amount of information to absorb to play the game well, or at least have the most fun you can, depending on how you want to play. Thank you for this awesome overview and short but thorough documentary of GTA Online. It's a resource even for some veterans who might have never examined the whole picture of a game that has actually had a large impact on culture all over the world. That's a vast impact.
