After playing around 5h, in my opinion is just another overrated game from the same usual suspects in this gaming industry. Production values, presentation, open world detail, characters, content is top notch without a doubt. BUT, the gameplay is anything but fun. The gunplay is awful, the long distances become boring quickly, the controls can be annoying when you easily mistake an action with another, like when you enter a shop, you want to talk to the owner but you put a gun a in his face because talk to people and aim inside a shop share the same button, so the owner gets mad and he pursues you until you have no more options than kill him, and after that, dozens of witness call the polce and then you have 10 men trying to kill you. It breaks the inmersion and after spending minutes going from A to B to meet your objective, if this happens in the town where your objective is, you really get upset.
There are some games, from some companies that the press always overlook its problems and i'm tired of it. This is not a 97 rating game. Don't get me wrong, is a very good game but this game has some problems that other games have been punished a lot from critics and in this game this is not the case, because...."ey, it's a Rockstar game right?, what do you expect??
If you like inmersion, if you like exploring, if you like fantastic production values and you are willing to forvige its average gunplay and tedious game design, this can be your favorite game ever, but if not....well, it will be just another very good game with flaws that depending on your mood that day, you will be asking yourself if you're really enjoying what you are doing.
Despite all of this negativity, the game is still impressive at times and probably its best parts will surpass its bad ones for me. It's just that, this is not that 10 out 10 game that most journalists are saying.

5 hours isn't even half way through the main systems tutorial. I'm at least 15 hours into the story and still tutorials for side systems are popping up.

I know 5h is not enough, but i'm not against the content, story, things to do in the game, i'm against the way you do it. The gameplay mechanic in itself. The gunplay won't get any better, the mapping buttons won't get any better, the long distances won't get any better...etc. I'm sure there will be cool story moments and even genuine good gaming sections later on, but that won't change the fact that the core game, is not enjoyable for me.
Look, the game is good, it can be a 8'5 or even a 9'0 game for me in the end, but the problem i have is with the press giving 10's without critizing something that a lot of people are noticing too. There's a lot of people saying the same thing, and I not consider myself a troll who wants something to fail. I genuinely feel this game in its gameplay core is average or even worst, just boring.
