Grand Theft Auto V - Newbie question!

[kashif]

First of all this game is banned in my country. However, a seller arranged me a copy at a premium price. I am totally new to Grand Theft Auto franchise. I own every Sony console but never played this game ever.

So, I want to know that if someone who is new to Grand Theft Auto will enjoy it? and most importantly is it easy to play? I am tempted to this title just because of the open world gameplay. Please share your thoughts that if a newbie who never played previous volumes will enjoy it.

Thanks.

Watch out for spoilers.

The game is unlike anything you've ever played if new to GTA period.

It's the best GTA yet. It's incredible, to say the least.

It can be more challenging than the previous GTA's, simply because of the character switching. That is a totally new aspect to the game, which I had to get used to (I have played almost all of them from PSOne up to this one). But since you've never played the other games, you may not have this problem getting used to it. It's not difficult, though. The game plays easily, even for a newbie.

If you're like me, you'll enjoy just driving around and looking at the breathtaking landscape, and when you feel like doing something more constructive, you do missions, side-quests, jobs for strangers you meet, and so on. It has something for everyone, pretty much.

Thanks.

Are there any consequences to the buyer for having banned games or is it just the seller that can get in trouble?

Yes there are consequences for both Buyer and Seller but I took the risk. Same happened with Heavy Rain. Was banned and I have to pay double the amount to get it.

Got my copy today and played a little. I am impressed by the presentation. Still in the beginning but this game looks great. However, I am having little difficulty in understanding certain things as I am not used to it and this is my first GTA game.
