I like this new GTA game. It's better than previous version.
Do you mean that you like this over a previous title or a previous version of itself.
In terms of whether it's better than previous GTA games I have to say that Vice City and San Andreas wipe the floor with GTA: V.

I've been playing Gangstar Vegas on my iPad, thinking of trying out GTA V for a bit. Is it worth the money for a casual gamer?
Well, the single player mode is nice and playing online is quite a bit of fun, so it should be good for a casual gamer. Just make sure you PC can handle it before buying the game.

The optimization is not that perfect to be honest. It's a good port from all aspects, most of the time it doesn't even feel like a port to be honest. But I still run into lag spikes at random points and I have a decently powerful gaming computer. I saw many people reporting the same issue in the steam community.
My specs in case you care:
R9 290
8Gb Ram
Fx 8350
Thankfully the game has a good variety of graphic settings so many systems can handle it.

A good CPU, GPU and a lot of RAM are indeed a must. My two year old laptop has a second generation i7, 6GB of RAM and a Nvidia GT 650m with 2GB dedicated RAM and I only get around 25 FPS with modified settings to reduce the workload. It's definitely playable and it still looks amazing so I ain't complaining, but it is something to keep in mind.
PC version is just out with higher res then previous versions. I dont think theres anything much wrong with it but Im only going by what I seen on places like here:

GTA is GTA, gets old after a while but I will buy this on the next sale probably and hopefully I'll have my graphics card back from rma by then though I heard it mostly requires a beefy CPU if anything, oh and 8 gigs of memory is good

The game is pretty awesome! 
I started the campaign today and I'm in love already. 
I started the campaign today and I'm in love already. What platform? PC? Xbox? PS4? I am thinking of buying it but I am a PC gamer and I haven't heard good things...
PC of course. It's great if you're a fan of the series. It keeps the spirit and the graphics are better than ever. The campaign has a lot of funny moments and original characters and the feature that allows you to switch between the characters is quite fun too. I can't speak for online play yet but my friends seem to be having fun.
And if you're worried about paying too much, get it from the Brazilian steam store. It's 100 Brazilian Reals which is about 33 dollars.
My criticisms still stand but now that I've played the game more I'm having a lot of fun with it.
The fact that vehicles are sluggish is okay after getting to modify the shit out of them.

I'll try before i'll buy. Loved the series in general. Remarkable how far they have come.
It looks pretty and allows you to play with your friends. The music is also quite nice. What more could you possibly want want from a video game?

PC.
It's not worth the money unless you find it dirt cheap. There are plenty of things that fuck this game up.
The design and beauty of it are way overrated. It's made with fancier technology, but that doesn't necessarily make it much better.
The car physics suck all the fun out of the environment for me coupled with the shit soundtrack (the talk-radio channels still have good humor in them) it's even worse. It's a good game but it's not up to the previous GTA games (Vice City, San Andreas) in the fun factor.
The story is good so far. Nothing like Vice City or San Andreas. I haven't played enough to love the game, the world, the map or to review it properly but I'll say this.
Play it for a couple of hours to decide whether you want to buy it because at $60 dollars on PC (in my case) 2 years after release I feel like it's drawbacks don't warrant the price. I expected a well-balanced game for full price, instead they threw way to much money to make it look pretty, instead on the physics and responsiveness and fun-element of the gameplay.
Sounds more like its a game genre that isnt for you.
Go play something else.
GTA V on PC is awesome, there is tweaks needed, but nothing too major.
You're telling me the genre isn't for me?
This elitist shit won't stand. I criticize it because of how much I loved all the previous GTA games. If I didn't give a fuck I wouldn't care to start a thread.
I am enjoying it quite a lot. The heist missions are very fun. The characters are well developed, and the map is huge.
I played a little more. It's enjoyable but most of my criticisms still stand.
That being said, I love the story telling so far, It's definitely a good video game.
I can't get over how weak the cars feel. The engine noises are drowned out and the reflection system for some reason (in the mirrors sucks).
First person view is decent but I play third person mostly.
The speedometer bugs me, when I rev the engine at a stop it goes up to (20mph) while not in motion.
Also I've driven faster in my minivan than what sports cars go in this game. I don't understand how they fucked it up so badly. Perhaps they did that to sell vehicles, cash, upgrades in the future?
Despite all the shit. And there's plenty of it, it's still a good game.
Don't buy it.
It sucks.
Play vice city instead.
It's pretty. And pretty unplayable. Gameplay feels sluggish as fuck. Vehicles feel slow and under-powered. The big rig feels like it has a golf cart engine in it. Sports cars drive like minivans.
Franklin has a superpower that alters the laws of physics when he drives instantly and forever breaking immersion.
I don't know if it's a bad game but I'm playing other games instead of it. I'm avoiding it.
My 5 cents to save you the trouble and money.
Play before buying.

Everything depends on how good your computer is and if you feel like changing in game settings. If you aren't sure that it can handle GTA V or you are to lazy to deal with settings crap, buy the console version.
