Soon, 9 years will pass since the release of gta 5. During this time, I graduated, became a good specialist, got married and had a child. But I'm still waiting for the new part of GTA....
i've been playing since xbox one was next gen, and i still find new things every once and a while. hearing people say next gen now and not referring to current gen is confusing.
Literally fuxing barren land with absolutely NOTHING to do in it and nothing interesting happening. Nothing. No area that feels different. No area that captures the vibe. Nothing. Gta5 map is the definition of a big but boring game world They nailed the vibe through other aspects of the game but overall it's pretty boring
The newest, most recent GTA game is so old you literally get nostalgic thinking about it. Let that sink in. EDIT: Finally. We made it. It's coming. GG boys, see you in Vice City.
@@levvd8357 he is saying the actual game itself is shit not the music yk were you play now he is right and wrong online can be fun but can get tedious and the amount of griefers is killing gta the story mode is alright it’s been along time of playing gta v it was amazing at one point for many years but now it’s boring because we played it too much
Remember the buzz though like exactly 9 years ago rn was so excited for September. Life felt better back then like there wasn't near enough hate in the world like there is now.
Its so sad that a lot of players who bought GTA V never considered playing story mode. The story mode is simply amazing.... they are all missing out on such a great experience
I'm on my sixth play through now on the Series X edition. Felt like a fool spending $20 on it but I don't regret it at all now. For a 9 year old game they did a great job modernizing it graphically, even though it is total bullshit they didn't include MP cars and outfitting options.
@@thesniper5966 I'd wager people that has your sort of opinion don't really enjoy open world story driven games in general, except for RPGs like Skyrim where you constantly want to improve your character. Because there are people who say the exact same thing you say about RDR2, which is crazy because that game left such a big impression in the world of how detailed the gameplay is.
It is one of, if not the only game where i want to play the game all the time, just to log in and see that it is not the game i wanted to play after all. That game is gone…
A game that defined a generation, literally. It’s nearly been 10 years. I was 20 when this came out. College, Job, Career. Girlfriends, breakups, Bereavements, Going partying, going abroad, parting, friends come, friends go. Moving Out, Mortgage, Life Set Backs, Life Progression. Los Santos has been my playground through all of those 10 years. Don’t wish for GTA 6 so soon, because it’ll be the end of an era when it’s released.
i was 10 when i played gta and now i’m almost 18, 2015 was a year that no one could miss out on, no try hards, zentorno/adder we’re best cars, standing still to snipe someone, racing around with not a stress in the world, i’m not sad it ended, i’m happy that i was there to experience it all😞
Shout out to my ex girlfriend who waited in line on release day to get this game for me while I was at work. Sorry about everything, and I hope you’re doing well wherever you are.
anytime i listen to this i just sit there and sob, knowing that i’ll never get the best memories of my life back. I blinked and 8 years of my life just went by. This is so much more than just a game. it’s a feeling, a passion, an emotion. This game will forever live in my heart with every single memory i’ve ever had playing it online and story.❤️ Edit: a year maybe more later and I can see this has touched a wide range of people. It isn’t just about the video game. I had PLENTY of childhood memories not revolving around a video game for christ sake, it’s the friendships, relationships, bonding with every single persons I did, those friendships that i’ll have for eternity. Those are the things that i’ll always cherish. "sob" doesn’t mean cry my eyes out, but i’m sorry to those who didn’t experience it the way I did. You don’t need to judge one’s experience over something in THEIR life when it isn’t yours lmao. It’s all personal experience wether or not you did or didn’t have good times. GTA has always been around from the very start of growing up from my dad and I playing SA, my brother and I playing Vice City, to waiting in line at gamestop with my dad for GTA 5 to release. It’s not the game that gives me nostalgia I mean to a point yes maybe. It’s mostly the people, memories, and just overall experience. Those of you commenting cringe and about me "sobbing" show me on the doll where they hurt you lmao just bc your experience wasn’t good doesn’t mean everybody else’s wasn’t. I was 12 when this game came out so yeah at that age, friendships, memories, and everything along the way up to now mattered to me and was very important im sorry you guys couldn’t have the same experience in life it’s like no other. Maybe one day you’ll get the stick out your asses and actually find time to enjoy something. Being 21 working fulltime and having a girlfriend fulltime is a lot of work. Just saying it’s nice to enjoy the nostalgia for a while before i’m back in this fast pace life we’re all in life is too short enjoy the little things.
Yup, the old days of online, hanging out with your friends doing glitches, robbing the stores, and doing what gta was, unlike now, mk2s killing, Lazers flying, invincible speedo, is this what Rockstar wanted gta 5 to be?, a warzone knowing that whatever you do, you will die
I remember when me and my friends were talking about the game all the time at school and playing online together when we got home but all that was 8 years ago it makes me cry to I know how you feel
It's the kind of song that makes you sit down and think about your life. All the good memories from a past that you can't go back to and all the uncertainty of the future. Thinking about what you did with your life and if it was worth it. Listening to that melody makes you feel all alone with your thoughts. Whoever reads this, I wish you a good life cause it's the only one you'll have
I'm cautiously optimistic about GTAVI since Rockstars best talents are now gone. I'm hoping the outgoing veterans have taught them well how to craft a game. All the way from San Andreas to RDR2
since gta 5 was an absolute disaster pretty much in everything but graphics im pretty sure from what we have seen from rockstar that the game is gonna feel huge and feel realistic for once @@antonironstag5085
@@antonironstag5085 That's the kind of stuff you should keep hopes DOWN for. Expect the same as GTAV. RDR2 if we're lucky, but even that was kind of stale if you remove the singleplayer narrative. We all know 90% of the players will NEVER EVER play single player. RockStar might be lucky and still have retained real talent to make new gameplay systems because they can afford it. But the smartest people who made great game engines have all moved onto other stuff like AI.
Watched this for ten minutes. I had to take a deep breath after reading the comments. Almost teared up. Most of us were just kids when we first played this. I was 11. Soon, likely before GTA 6 comes out, I will be graduated with my BA. If I could go back to my old self just once, I would tell him “enjoy your time now. You are young, happy, and free. You may think you will always be the same boy you are, but time goes so fast that you can’t even tell it’s moving. You will want to reminisce on these times, as are I now.”
God damn man, you're so right. I could cry reading that... One of the best games ever... I was 12 when I played gta for the 1st time. I'm 20 now. Time is flying like crazy.
Damn, just reading all these comments of your nostalgia, I can feel it all, it’s nice. I’m now 37 years old, I remember when this game dropped and how excited my friends and I were, and we were even more jacked up when online came out! I even took the day off from work when gta online dropped just to never load into the game world haha. Having played this game across 3 console generations (360, ps4 and ps5) I have so many memories and this music is the score to them. So many friends who haven’t logged-in in years now, but we still rehash our most memorable gta antics when we get together. We played this game pretty religiously from 2013 to around the biker gang dlc, took a very long hiatus, then Covid hit. Since two other friends of mine were working from home too, we decided to put down Siege for a bit to check out the casino one night. This snowballed into buying everything to do the casino and dooms day heist, buying the nightclub and maintaining the business, to eventually being all caught up with the submarine at this advanced age LOL! It’s just funny how life works and how gta mirrors it. Instead of playing with 6 deep, its now mostly solo or with one other friend who still finds time to game. Reading these comments of seemingly younger gamers who appear to no longer play, makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong, as if I should be doing life lol. Since gta v’s release, I’ve established my career, got married, bought a house, and now have a son. I’ve traveled and touched grass all in between lol. I guess the point of it all is, if you still have the passion to play any game, and you work hard, find a good job, and have a good supportive wife/partner, you don’t have to stop. It will be different, and it will feel different because your friends will have gone separate ways, but that’s just life. The game world is all of those memories made, they will never leave. Boomer out.
I started playing the game on it's launch day, 17th September 2013 . I pre ordered it for my PS3. I remember how mindfucked i was when i first played it. Literally everything about the game blew me away. I was 13 at the time (yeah i know, in 2013 i was 13 years old, pretty cool huh). And i had a knack for literally spending hours to read the Wikipedia page about the things i like. I did that for this game too. I remember reading every little detail into how this game was made. I still remember they i guess shot more than 100k pictures of Los Angeles and 40k+ videos just to recreate the beauty of the map. And they did that successfully. And after reading everything and playing the game for 1000 hours (no kidding), made up my mind that i want a job at Rockstar North (the specific Rockstar studio responsible for the development of the game for the most part) and i want to see my name in the end credits of GTA 6 (lol). When i got the game, at first i literally spent a month or two to just explore the game the map and everything and didn't do any missions. Then i wanted weapons money all that so i started playing the story. Fell in love with it. Franklin became my favourite. Also i remember logging onto GTA online the first day it launched, 1 October 2013 just 13 days after the release of the game. I didn't get the chance to play as everyone knows how fucked up the servers were that day. I played on 2nd or 3rd then. Made a hell lot of friends online. Summer of 2015 is my favourite that was the time i joined a wonderful crew and made a lot of friends. Our summer vacation was going on and we used to play for 24 hours! Then it got slow because most of the people shifted to next gen. I couldn't. I still have my PS3 and don't have a PS4. Today is 23 December 2021, 8 days after the servers went offline for PS3. And i logged on the game one last time to get the last glimpse of my character, cars, weapons, money (thank you all the modders), my character's stats, and the whole game in general before it you know got complicated and all the things because of which people don't like it today. Also i started playing on my laptop (shitty, but hey atleast i can play gta again) two or three months ago. Currently, the game is on in front of me and the pause menu is opened. I forgot about the fact that pause menu had a music. It suddenly started playing while i was doing something and paused the game for it. High dose of nostalgia hit me suddenly. And after 2 minutes, I'm here writing this comment. Thanks to all the readers who made it here and I hope you have a great day in GTA the next time you play :D
Back in 2013, I can distinctively remember on a warm summers night, I was sitting in my older brother's bedroom playing GTA 5 with him for hours upon end, riding the dirtbike around the map having the best time of our lives. He was 17 and I was 6 - He is now 26 and I'm 15. Oh boy how quickly time flies.
Had the day off, nothing to do, nowhere to go, and pouring rain outside. Im home alone with this or TBOGT's pause music playing in the background while getting my snacks together in the kitchen. Good times
Good Question, We have to Make Each Moment Count, Time is Invaluable Memories we Hold we Must Preciously Cherish(From Our Youth, Spring/Summer's Spent with Friend's-Loved One's Warm Sun on are Face), Hold on with Conviction for those Moments bring you Warmth-Fondness, I Remember 1st Getting GTA IV(4) than 5 Thinking wow like the opening of Big Open world Never seen b4 now that I'm 23 & drove anywhere-Flew can think of on the Map Makes me Reminiscence of the Times where I was Eager to Explore everything from the Landscapes-Terrain & Dive into the Depth of the Dialogue & Storyline 1st GTA 5 came out in 2013 & I Remember to the Day came home on my Bed was The Game these are the Memories we all share not just with the game but in a Sense attains to our Lives-Nostalgia we Carry throughout are Lives Many Blessings for your 1st Born,Stay Blessed :D.
I'm 49 years old. Been playing video games since Pong. Then Atari, Intellivision, you name it. Pre-ordered for the 360 when it was released. Felt silly walking to customer service to get MY copy, looking at the MOUNTAIN of copies on display. I can't count how many times I've played thru the story, each time seeing something new. GTA 5 will FOREVER live in my heart as the greatest game ever made (despite all the times I missed it /fell off the top of the freakin train riding the motorcycle as Trevor) 🤣
Back when I was overwhelmed by this game’s story and gameplay, back when my only worries were about making enough money in the game to buy the Adder, back when I was so excited about the first heist update, back when GTA Online was pure and simple, back when the grinding was fun, back when completing heists late at night with those friends that I have never actually seen was a thing, back when there were no flying cars and bikes shooting up the place. This game helped me with my anxiety. One word : nostalgia.
i mean grinding is still fun with friends, just had a blast this evening messing around with the Diamond Casino Heist, but i agree, flying cars and bikes are just downright stupid I really miss dogfights, nowadays, those stuff are hella rare
After beating the story mode 7+ times (that I can remember) ranking up 430+ levels online (naturally) and earning over 150,000,000 cumulative dollars (without cheating) and creating memories that last a lifetime I can truly call this place home. What an amazing era we all got to be apart of. Whatever succeeds this game in the GTA, better or worse, won’t have the same impact on our generation like this masterpiece did.
150B? I know someone who plays this game daily grinding and he’s only made a total of over 2-3B since launch… (Edit: Yes he put 150B, then edited his comment to 150M so no my comment was not wrong)
i just spent 10 hours doordashing and i literally played this in my truck the entire time. i felt like i was playing gta in real life doing side missions
lmao that's fire, personally if i was you i would find multiple typa songs like this, from different movies and games I played, all combined will make me feel like how you did for real, I like to repeat the same songs alot for sure, but if i repeated this song the whole drive i would get tired of it
Dude this makes everyone a little upset cause it makes everyone realize how quickly time flies by and how we will never be able to get the same feelings we did before.
I remember getting this game, I was 9 and my parents allowed me to miss the school the next day because I got it that night and stayed up all night playing it. I remember you needed the atomic blimp code in order to get the blimp I remember how bad the servers were for GTA online when they first went online. I remember it all including "Beach Bum". I have a friend of 9 years from this game his name is Brett. This game has been through so much like break ups, divorces, growing up all of it.
Do you remember when you stole Zentornos, Adders and T20s? Do you remember when the most played modes were: RPG vs Insurgent, Deathmatches, Deathruns, Stunt Races? Do you remember when the max number of players in one session was 15? Do you remember when only the Rhino and Lazer were the most feared veichles? Yes, I remember everything. The past was the best and nobody will forgot it. Thank you GTA
Graduated high school in 2015, lost my grandma in 2016, got a dream job in 2017, lost my grandpa in 2018, dropped out of college in 2020 and dad had a stroke, welcomed twin niece and nephew and lost my godmother in 2021. Who knew a pause theme from a video game could have me reflect on so many important and/or impactful moments in my life. Interestingly enough, my niece and nephew were born on Sept 17, which makes it really easy for me to keep up with their bday since I obsessed over this date as a teen waiting for GTA V's release.
My teen years were spent with this. This reminds me of one summer evening in particular, I was home alone and playing gta 5, I paused to get some water, came back picked up the controller, but didn't go back to playing, I just sat there looking at the screen listening to this music, it was the first time I really noticed this music. This is just way more than a game. I got attached to this, reading other comments here so did a lot of us. Its crazy to think that there kids out there playing this for the first time but for me its just a big nostalgia trip
Played this game when I was a freshman in hs and now ive graduated college and starting my career. Thankful for the memories I've made and godspeed to all of you
I remember everything My hype for the game Reading every article about it in video game magazines Talking of it to everyone around me, my friends, my family... My mother letting me skip school that afternoon that 17 septembre 2013 driving me to the store and buying it for me I was 13 I remember All those hours All those friends All the fun All those years... I miss it so much Now I'm 21 And all I have is fucking crippling depression It will be forever a part of me I can't forget that
Man depression aint ever gonna be forever part of you. If you keep thinking like that... Well who knows what will happen. Just try to remember the good times, but not only remember them, make new good times. Stay strong brother.
These comments really make me want to cry , esp while reading and listening to the pause menu music as well, I hope things get better for you in time, keep your head up king/queen
I remember watching streamers play GTA Online with their friends when the game first came out. Remember HikeTheGamer/HikePlays? Man, I wanted to join in on that fun so badly. I finally did in 2015 with my own few buddies online. I bought a PS4 just to play GTA. Scraping money together to buy a nice car, meeting up, the free Elegy car being an absolute godsend, deciding whether to spend 30k on underglow just to make your car nicer, going off that one ramp beside the tunnel to get into Zancudo and steal a jet, getting businesses, making money, that one guy who always dies during the heist, "give me 85%", pulling all-nighters, "how many people can we pick up in this Barracks?"; finally buying all the cool things, drag races at the airport, offroading in Vinewood Hills and Sandy Shores desert, pretending to be truckers when "Convoy" comes on the radio, climbing Chiliad in hearses, shuttle buses, tanks and dump trucks, "let's land a Volatol on top of Maze Bank", taking 4 lads on a dinghy out to the edge of the map and sinking, last stands against the cops, the classic trick when you're in a plane - "What button's for dropping bombs?" "Triangle"; buying a Lazer just so you don't have to ramp into Zancudo anymore, knowing the map better than our own town, submarine shenanigans, garage tours, "what if we kick the cops out of that prison in Sandy Shores and have it to ourselves?"; the PTSD from seeing Oppressor Mk2s closing in on the map as well as the missile lock tone when you're trying to sell bunker supplies, teaming up and fighting griefers, making friends with randomers, doing airshows, all the good stuff. "It's getting late lads, I'll see ye tomorrow". The boys have moved on since then. This is the absolute most fun you can have in online gaming.
I remember playing GTA TBoGT online with one guy for full day and night till we realised it's 7am in the morning and sun raised long time ago. It was circa 2011-12 but It was one of the most fun moments in my story of multiplayer gaming and will remember this for a long time at least. Never seen him again.
When the gsme first came out, the online part wasnt even there yet. I feel so nostalgic, playing the campaign and waiting for the online portion to drop. Damn good times.
Best GTA So far. 4 characters we all met all those years ago. Still playing this 8 years later and absolutely love it. Can't believe it was 8 years ago. I was 33 when I started playing this. I'm 41 now.......shit.....where did the time go. I'll always have love for this game.
terryfing how people talk about this game like i used to talk about vice city it really shows how painful growing past 20 really is because for some it feels like a lifetime if it was before 20 and others like me it feels like just time
Bruuuuuh these guys describing when they were 13-14 is throwing back to when we used to huddle at someone house who had multiple tvs with our consoles or memory card; and VICE CITY or SAN ANDREAS because there was no online 😭😭😭😭
I remember when this game dropped back in 2013, I was 12 and playing it at my friends house, it was only story mode out and I pulled an all nighter and finished the whole story while my friend having passed out and waking up and me still sitting there playing haha, soon got in to online when it got released and it was mayhem was fun back in those days no tryhards or people caring about a score, just simple PvP and grinding. Always couldn’t wait to get home from school and play, would ride my bike home and turn on the game till midnight and the go to bed for school again and repeat, no dramas in my life, everything seemed so easy. Fast forward 9 years I’m 21, got a job been through break ups, traveled, nearly died in a car crash, partying, gotten drunk haha all the fun stuff and life’s so much harder but it is what you make it I guess, I miss the times 9-8 years ago when this was all I knew, I would do anything to go back, you truely never knew you were in the good times till you sit back a few years later and reminisce on the good old days. Haven’t touch the game in 3 years but boy do I miss it. The friends made along the way, the car meets, the racing through los santos with your first supercar, your first 5 star wanted level, your first time driving round the map and those late nights driving through the snow at night on the highway, it all comes back and hits you with a big wave of nostalgia. Will forever and always be my favourite game. To whoever reads this, wishing you all the best, we only got one life so make the most of it. ❤️
I have the exact same experience playing this game when i was 11 on my ps3. Now i am 20 years old dealing with adult life..... but those times will forever stay with me.
8 years….this game honestly got me through a lot, broken relationships, depression, suicide, family issues, the list goes on, I’ve met many great friends here, I’ve made many memories on this game, this game has definitely been a big part of my life, from building cars for car meets, to doing missions with my friends, building clans with strangers that end up being family, to doing stunt races for hours and hours, to role playing, the list goes on and on, and tbh, if God came to me right now and gave me the choice to relive it, I would, the memories will be around forever and say what you will but it’s honestly one of my favorite games ever, it’s crazy to think that 8 almost 9 years has gone this fast, and this game definitely helped that time fly, I’ve loved every second of it (well other than some heist missions that is😂) Bless everyone that’s been on the ride with me, I love you all, whether we played together or not, we’re all family💜
I remember playing a week after release on my PS3, I was in high school at the time 10th grade to be exact, I'd skip class to binge watch crash compilations with the new physics & laughing with Vanoss & the boys. Now I'm 23 with a 1 year old & countless work hours that end with me sometimes hopping online to cruise down to paleto jamming Non Stop Pop. Time flies when you're having fun. 🤧
Whats mind blowing is vanoss and the boys are still playing gta and gmod I watch them since 2014 or 2013 can’t remember but my god vanoss makes me laugh every single video
@@husseinwaddah3805 Yeah bro, idk how old you are man but we getting old regardless & this game is as nostalgic to me as any other game from my childhood 😭
I like to think of a end cutscene with your online character sailing away on His/Her yacht while looking at the city as you fade away into the sunset remembering all those years of Los Santos
Yeah they could have showed that they care a little bit at the end of the PS 360 era, like if you were on the game the moment it shut down, there would be a cutscene of your character just stopping for a second, thinking deeply and then just like in story prologue, there will be a black screen with the text "a few days later" and you would see your character at the airport saying goodbye to friends you made like Lamar, Lester, Mechanic etc. And then you just see a plane take off and the screen turns dark. Then there will be a text that says "Thank you for playing GTA online on the (your console). If you want to continue your story, play the game on the (next gen console). The servers for the (your console) are now shut down"
@@Cerise__ I wish they would still keep the online aspect active, like a private lobby, where its just u, roaming around like ur character is so much more fun than in storymode:/
One of the best peices of media of all time. I may like the Owl house more (yes, that is my favorite peice of media of all time, go watch it) but this game just broke me in the best way possible. 10/10, would and have played again.
I remember when I was 14 years old me and my buddy were always playing gta 5 in his house since his parents were always outside with my family every weekend. We always ordered pizza. And while we were eating pizza game was paused and this song was playing every damn minute, we were so annoyed by it back in the day. 22 years old now but I remember it like it was 4 days ago. Only one piece of music opens your eyes to memories that you never knew you will remember again. Even though this game is something else now, it was one of the greatest games that made our generation one of the greatest. Time passes while we're passing by, make sure you made the most out of it :')
Also 22 now. Also played at 14…. Hope you’re doing well man, these comments sections are always bitter sweet. AAA gaming is not the same anymore These kids gotta live our memories 🤣
This game had and still has so much influence in my life. It's led to me becoming a car guy, influenced my music, and brought me into gaming as a whole. The story amazed me I remember sneaking downstairs in the night to play it in the dark alone when I was younger and my playstation was in the lounge. obviously there were those great times with friends. Gonna be forever my favourite game and it's gonna be a sad day when the servers shut down as this is such a weirdly important factor in my life.
I'd just left university when this game came out and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I found this game strangely inspiring, felt like my life had so many opportunities ahead. So nostalgic
@@RageGamer15 At the time of writing the comment, I believe he was on his phone typing "I'd just left university when this game came out and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I found this game strangely inspiring, felt like my life had so many opportunities ahead. So nostalgic"
we've all been through it boys. never again will that thrill and excitement reach my soul the feeling of exploring a world where you can do whatever the fuck you want exploring a world, where your fantasies, come to life even though, in the past, we took this game as a normal one now it sits at the back of everyone's brain, never forgotten a beautiful memory.
I literally sit for 1 hour watching the screen while listening to this, it was like getting back in time, remembering all the moments I had back then when gta & minecraft were the most played games, i was happy, i was in my own world, all i used to do was play these games and forget about evverything, i knew and i had lots of memories with my friends that are not here anymore, it was like being in a time machine and going to past for 1 hour, thanks mate, apreciate this vid
I remember the first time I ever played this game. It was a dark night. A young kid who convinced his mom to get him a game. I had to inherit my dad's old Xbox 360 with a hard drive just to play it. I waited... And waited... And waited... And when it was finally done downloading, I can remember clear as day going through the prologue. Something I will never forget. The emotions that I poured out playing for the first time will be something that will always haunt me. Then, the next mission where Franklin and Lamar repo a motorcycle. I couldn't tell you how many times I replayed that mission because I failed to understand what saving the game was. I hated it back then, but as I've matured, I've really looked back and said, "Did I really used to not like some of these missions?" Your brain likes to play tricks with you. Something else I didn't do was play missions. I had a lack of care for anything story related, so I just roamed the entire map, top to bottom. I did it so many times I can remember every road like my own neighborhood. It literally became a second home for me. As time went on my ADHD got the better of me and my parents took the game away, thinking that is was the reason I was acting out. (It wasn't) I went over a year without playing it. Until one day, I booted up my Xbox and I went to the Xbox store. There it was. GTA 5 on a discount for probably 30 dollars. A good deal back then. I begged and begged and begged, and by now my ADHD had improved drastically, and my mother finally said yes. I was so unbelievably excited. I was on my dad's old account because he was the only one who had Xbox live at the time. I booted up the game, went to online, and there I was, back home. I remember failing and not understanding that you had to be on a next gen console to do certain things, and here I was, a dumb kid trying to figure out why I couldn't go into first person. Time passed, I slowly ranked up, to about 63 I believe, and Christmas was right around the corner. I didn't know what to expect that year, but what I got changed everything. It was a PlayStation 4. A real PlayStation 4! I could recall playing Destiny with my father, who also loves Bungie, but I wanted to do one more thing. Purchase GTA. I specifically remember getting the bundle with a great white shark card to give you a boost. I waited. And waited. And waited again. Until finally, it was done downloading. I loaded up the story mode and was amazed at the graphics and features not on the recent generation. I was completely blown away. It was nothing until I switched to online. Even today I'm on the same exact account with a character that looks just like VanossGaming's character. (He was one of the reasons the game had a strong impact on me as well) I can even remember the first car I bought in the game. It was a yellow Vacca with green tire smoke and a low level spoiler. I was amazed. I then ran across a friend who will forever be near to my heart. His name was MrLegendary1999. He was about 6 years older than me and he treated me like his fun younger brother. We did so many fun things together with his friends. But then one day, we stopped playing. I didn't know what happened. All I knew was that was something I wouldn't recover from. We had done so much. But it was all gone like that. A few years pass, more memories, more updates, more money on shark cards, and then I met another familiar face. His name was BigTaker195. Boy have I got some stories with him. We did everything, from helping each other out with MC business to just messing around with a firetruck in Sandy Shores. Everything. But one day, that all stopped, too. I was heartbroken. This was the second one that turned into a ghost. I have no idea where he is now, but I hope you're doing ok, Taker. More years pass and then boom. Pandemic. I took my PlayStation 4 to my grandparents house along with my school supplies to do education from home. I remained playing GTA but not as often as I used to. I was burnt out. But then one day, I got an idea. I got on a long thinking train about my previous friend, MrLegendary1999, and realized I still have some of his friends on my friends list. I hit one of them up asking what happened. Luckily, one friend, named JDog, also remembered Legendary and hit him up. Push came to shove and there he was. I was talking to MrLegendary1999 again. For the first time in 4 years I was back with an old friend. I told him we had to play sometime and he agreed but we have yet to. It's been 2 years. I plan to message him eventually. A year later I started a grind. One like I've never done before. I saved up enough money and bought a submarine. Still the best purchase I've ever made in the game to this day. It was summer 2021 and I had the worst cold that I have ever experienced in my whole life. Uncontrollable coughing. Fever. It was not fun. But then something happened. My father got an email saying that long time PSN members would be given a chance to purchase a brand new PlayStation 5. He bought one. I was so excited. I took it to my room since we share it and he's more of a PC guy these days and I downloaded the PlayStation 4 version of GTA 5 which was the only one available to me at the time. I remember the tuner update had just come out, as well. I was always doing something with Cayo Perico. I must have played it over 30 times from then until the end of summer. And boy were those some great memories. A year later and here I am. I'm almost done with school. I've got a 1999 Dodge Dakota which I love with all of my heart, and still playing Grand Theft Auto. Words cannot describe how much of my life has been impacted by this game alone. It has given me so much happiness. So much pain. So much frustration at Rockstar. So much love from Rockstar. It was all worth it. Every minute of it. And I never want to forget anything about this game. I don't know if I will still be playing this game when the next comes out, but for now, I am content. I don't know where I'll end up in life, but I can assure you, I will make every minute worth it. That's who I am. That's who I've always been. That's who I want to be. That's who I can be. But most of all, that is my story.
Man, its sad that you almost broke you fingers to wrote this, but man i got the same situation, i got GTA V on my xbox 360, and then i lost the disk and cant play it, until my father got GTA V on Xbox 360 again, but i cant play that long as i want to, but when i complete the story mode i almost broke up in tears, and after some time i find this video which bring me so many memories, now i have GTA V ob my xbox one s and i replay the story mode, i think, i think its ky fourth playthrough, its so sad that our childhood is gone really fast, i wish i could just, became a little child, 6-7 age probably and just sit and play, and there's is nothing to worry about
I remember getting this game, I was 9 and my parents allowed me to miss the school the next day because I got it that night and stayed up all night playing it. I remember you needed the atomic blimp code in order to get the blimp I remember how bad the servers were for GTA online when they first went online. I remember it all. I have a friend of 9 years from this game his name is Brett. This game has been through so much like break ups, divorces, growing up all of it.
Dude I love your story. I grew up with this game too even tho I didn’t play it for a long time. I was 8 years old when the game released and ofc my parents didn’t let me play it but I would watch so much RUclips content on the game like Typical Gamer and TheJimmyJ57 and especially JackSepticEye and some others I don’t remember. Then when I was 13 almost 14 my parents finally let me play the game so I went on Amazon and bought a used Xbox360 slim and a copy of the game and played it non stop. Well I remember the day it arrived I played like an hour cuz the package had arrived late at night and the next day I was staying at a family member’s house and while I was at their place that day I was so eager to get home and play. I got home and played until like 6am every day for a few weeks just in story mode alone. Btw this was in summer of 2019 so yeah next gen was definitely a thing but I didn’t care I was content with my last gen story mode. Then I played online when Covid started on my 360 and I was shocked to see how active it was considering the console was so old. Well that summer of 2020 I sold my Nintendo Switch and bought a PS4 slim with GTA V and finally played online properly and I was hooked. I had a long time childhood best friend who I knew in person who played online on PS4 and so I finally played with him and it was great. I remember our first time playing I had just started my new character and only had my first car (the Phoenix) and he was driving his Jester classic that was built to look like Brian’s Supra from F&F and I stole it from him and crashed it into a lake lol. We screwed around with eachother and did missions etc. I remember getting another close friend of mine to play the game too and we had a fantastic time grinding and doing missions together as well. Me and my friends are car enthusiasts as well so we did tons of car meets when PS4 communities was still a thing but when that died we started a discord server to host meets on PS4. We hosted daily the next summer (summer 2021) and has 110+ members in the discord. Then school was back in September so we didn’t have time to host and the server completely died and any attempts to revive it didnt work sadly. I have joined other servers to join meets again recently and wow is it fun to be in GTA car meets again. I remember when the Tuner update was announced me and my car friends were so unbelievably hyped cuz my dream car and my friend’s dream car were both being added to the game with that update (mine being the RX7 that is the ZR350 in game and his being the gen 6 Celica being the Calico in game) and so we graded Cayo Perico a ton before it was nerfed to get cash for the update. We did the heist over 60 times in 3 weeks and it still wasn’t enough to buy everything we wanted from that upstate lol (I still don’t have the MK5 Supra from that update) since then it’s been more grinding more car meets and more fun. I have a PS5 and the PS5 version now which is super fun and ray tracing is no joke. I still play lots of story mode too (replaying the story with the characters that i love and just doing fun things on my own). I have over 2000 hours on thr PS4 version alone + the PS5 which I’m now playing + almost 300 on my PS3 and I think almost 300 on my 360. I love this game and I don’t think R* could ever top it!
This music will always feel like home to me. I was 12 when this game came out and I remember my sister picking it up for the PS3 on release, we lived in quite a broken and traumatic home that I won’t get into but this game helped me escape that and even to this day helps me escape constant thoughts of depression and suicide. I will forever say that this has been the greatest and most influential game of my generation no matter how stupid the future for gta online is and has already become. I am still struggling with life and what direction I want to take with mine but for the time being while playing this game wether that be alone or with randoms or friends, I can tell myself that I am okay and zone out as if I was 12 all over again. I am always proud to be a part of this community and I hope everyone else has found what they want in life ❤️
Bro I feel for you I was 15 when the game came out if Rockstar Games hadn't announced the game in 2012 I wouldn't be here today. I still have depression and suicidal thoughts but a part of me really wants to know how gta 6 will be. I wish you all the best for your future and to all those who also have depression talk about it even if it is difficult
I find just wonderful how we all have very special memories with this game, yet so different, yet so similar. But one thing is sure, this game changed our life, and gaming. What would be gaming without GTA V? And the fact that some of us probably were in the same lobby, race, heist… is incredibly awesome.
9 years of my life has passed since the release of this game, the friends that came and went the stories we made. To some people it was just a game but to some of our young minds it had an enormous impact on the men and women we would become. I am now 22, I bought the game day 1 and have played ever since. Summer 2014 is one I will never forget thank you Rockstar games.
Man i remember playing this game for the first time in 2019 and being nostalgic about that. I cant even imagine the level of nostalgia from people who been playing since 2013
It's a heavy feeling to see how much has changed. Even since 2019 is a good amount but being there when the base game released was wild. Old friends you don't talk to anymore, kids turned to adults, playing with people who passed away. Especially hearing this song it just gets heavy thinking about how much has changed in what's almost a decade. Shits crazy man.
@@7718ac same its been 10 years so much has changed I began playing with so much people so much memories and now everyone is gone following their own path. Thanks gta 5. Best gta for me with vice city on psp back in 2009 and one the best games ever.
This gives me waves of sadness and happiness. Happiness for the memories from the last 9 years, and sadness that I am now in my early 30's, and a lot of the people I made incredible memories with, haven't been online in over 3 years. Memories, that can not ever be recreated. The feeling of waking up and excitedly getting on GTA Online. Amazing memories.
This remembers me of 5 years ago when I had a really difficult time in my life. I played this game so much back then because it was such a good way to escape reality for a while. Time flies.
I played GTA V first time in summer 2014 when I was 9 years old. Still remember these hundreds hours of gameplay, all of these funny situations, my favourite missions as well as these that I was scared of as a child (especially "Dead Man Walking"). I remember completing the single player mode literally dozen times. When I hear this music I see myself sometime between 2014 and 2016, playing this game, my parents were calling me for dinner, I paused the game and this amazing track started. Back in these days I didn't appreciated it. Only years later, while I hear this song nostalgia hits like never before. Life was so easy then. Now, 8 years later there isn't that much time for playing GTA (or any other games), but I wish that some day in the future I'll be able to feel all of this beauty again, just like in the good old days. And I wish all of you the same. 3 Jan 2023 22: 59
We were just having fun not realizing the memories and the friends that were being made. Thanks to GTA 5 I met a friend whose name is Brett he's still my friend 9 years later. This game has been through it all, divorces, break ups, moving 2 times all of it. I truly appreciate this game I remember being 9 and missing a day of school because I was getting it the night it came out and I ended up playing it all night. I'm 19 now life is so different I truly miss the old days with my friends on playstation playing this. Life is so complicated now and I don't have much time for games anymore
The score for the entirety of GTA 5 was amazing. The composer team really needs to be more recognized. People can say GTA is old and not fun anymore, but it's definitely one of the best games ever made from every perspective.
I actually agree that GTA is old and not fun anymore. The GTA 6 leaks just look like RDR2 cross-bred with GTA IV - and I'm quite honestly just not that excited about it. The story is no doubt set to be yet more maudlin, emotionally charged crap laced with pop culture and sneering sarcasm. The world will be oversized and side activities will feel like chores. That and Rockstar have spent so much time on GTA and RDR that they just seem to have nothing else. RAGE makes all their more recent games look and play the exact same.
This game defined a generation. Almost 11 years have past since launch. I was 12, living in Northern Sweden, in year 6, having the absolute best time of my life on this game with my friends. 3 girlfriends, 2 jobs, graduating in 2017 (school here is different than the United States), a PS4, my first gaming PC, a PS5, moving on with life and many more later, I am proud to call Los Santos home. I have only played the HD Trilogy but I'm ready to go back to Vice City.
Man, I was just 9 or 10 years old when this game came out and I first played. I'm now almost 18 years old finishing high school next year, and I'll still be playing this game. This game is literally my childhood, despite the ups and downs and the recent actions of rockstar, this game will go down in history as one of the best.
Same, I was almost 9 (approx. a month shy of 9) when this game came out and when I saw one of favorite RUclipsrs at the time made a video on it I was so excited and then, the love of gta grew. The first time I ever played gta v was Dec 25, 2014. I was in fourth grade and the feeling of not knowing what you’re doing on a new game with new controls was an amazing experience, something that I wish I could go back to.
@ٴ I’m sorry to hear man. I first started watching porn was i was 11 and didn’t know how bad it was for the brain until 20. Everyone said it was normal and healthy but that’s so false. It’s less about the porn and more about the dopamine addiction we get from it
(3-25-2022) I remember when this game came out, i was 12 years old & had no money to get the game. My older brother got the game for me about a year or so later for my xbox 360. The problem was that i had a xbox 360 kinect so it only had 4gb of storage. i put in the disc & the game couldnt load because i needed more storage. I had the game but couldnt play it until maybe a month or so later when i bought a usb with More gbs. as soon i was loaded up into the game i was instantly hooked & Blown away. the graphics jump from gta IV was massive! i remember just roaming around, exploring the map at first with me & my brother taking turns. The sounds of the city, the people walking up & down the streets, even the wildlife blew me away. then Gta online oh my god what great memories i made & how many friends i made online, the nights we stayed up on a saturday night grinding Rooftop Rumble. Honestly i wish i could go back, life was so peaceful, life was so simple, & this game made my childhood so so unforgetable.
I want this theme to run at my funeral, with the best and emotional photos of my life. This is what I have asked for in my last will and testament. Life is like in GTA - it consists of successes, failures, joy, frustration, camaraderie, betrayal, family, love.
Nobody will ever understand how different this sound hits when you up at 3:00 AM on story mode

Life felt better back then like there wasn't near enough hate in the world like there is now.
Its so sad that a lot of players who bought GTA V never considered playing story mode. The story mode is simply amazing.... they are all missing out on such a great experience
I'm on my sixth play through now on the Series X edition. Felt like a fool spending $20 on it but I don't regret it at all now. For a 9 year old game they did a great job modernizing it graphically, even though it is total bullshit they didn't include MP cars and outfitting options.
i mean, the new generation of gamers are just burned out of online games, myself included. The interest won't be the same as it once was.
@@BourbonInhibitions you mean online/DLC? I know man. Just why.

@@thesniper5966 I'd wager people that has your sort of opinion don't really enjoy open world story driven games in general, except for RPGs like Skyrim where you constantly want to improve your character.

College, Job, Career. Girlfriends, breakups, Bereavements, Going partying, going abroad, parting, friends come, friends go. Moving Out, Mortgage, Life Set Backs, Life Progression.

anytime i listen to this i just sit there and sob, knowing that i’ll never get the best memories of my life back. I blinked and 8 years of my life just went by. This is so much more than just a game. it’s a feeling, a passion, an emotion. This game will forever live in my heart with every single memory i’ve ever had playing it online and story.❤️
Edit: a year maybe more later and I can see this has touched a wide range of people. It isn’t just about the video game. I had PLENTY of childhood memories not revolving around a video game for christ sake, it’s the friendships, relationships, bonding with every single persons I did, those friendships that i’ll have for eternity. Those are the things that i’ll always cherish. "sob" doesn’t mean cry my eyes out, but i’m sorry to those who didn’t experience it the way I did. You don’t need to judge one’s experience over something in THEIR life when it isn’t yours lmao. It’s all personal experience wether or not you did or didn’t have good times. GTA has always been around from the very start of growing up from my dad and I playing SA, my brother and I playing Vice City, to waiting in line at gamestop with my dad for GTA 5 to release. It’s not the game that gives me nostalgia I mean to a point yes maybe. It’s mostly the people, memories, and just overall experience. Those of you commenting cringe and about me "sobbing" show me on the doll where they hurt you lmao just bc your experience wasn’t good doesn’t mean everybody else’s wasn’t. I was 12 when this game came out so yeah at that age, friendships, memories, and everything along the way up to now mattered to me and was very important im sorry you guys couldn’t have the same experience in life it’s like no other. Maybe one day you’ll get the stick out your asses and actually find time to enjoy something. Being 21 working fulltime and having a girlfriend fulltime is a lot of work. Just saying it’s nice to enjoy the nostalgia for a while before i’m back in this fast pace life we’re all in life is too short enjoy the little things.
Yup, the old days of online, hanging out with your friends doing glitches, robbing the stores, and doing what gta was, unlike now, mk2s killing, Lazers flying, invincible speedo, is this what Rockstar wanted gta 5 to be?, a warzone knowing that whatever you do, you will die
Your too right man, I feel the exact same thing
I remember when me and my friends were talking about the game all the time at school and playing online together when we got home but all that was 8 years ago it makes me cry to I know how you feel
miss those days
You are right about that
It's the kind of song that makes you sit down and think about your life.
All the good memories from a past that you can't go back to and all the uncertainty of the future.
Thinking about what you did with your life and if it was worth it.
Listening to that melody makes you feel all alone with your thoughts.
Whoever reads this, I wish you a good life cause it's the only one you'll have

Wish u a good life as well brother

GTA VI is coming - GTA V's Pause Menu Music will always be legendary.
I'm cautiously optimistic about GTAVI since Rockstars best talents are now gone. I'm hoping the outgoing veterans have taught them well how to craft a game. All the way from San Andreas to RDR2
since gta 5 was an absolute disaster pretty much in everything but graphics im pretty sure from what we have seen from rockstar that the game is gonna feel huge and feel realistic for once @@antonironstag5085
GTA 6 got delayed again I think
Yeah, well the legendary film score composer who made it also died since he worked on this. GTAV was his last high budget project
@@antonironstag5085 That's the kind of stuff you should keep hopes DOWN for. Expect the same as GTAV. RDR2 if we're lucky, but even that was kind of stale if you remove the singleplayer narrative. We all know 90% of the players will NEVER EVER play single player. RockStar might be lucky and still have retained real talent to make new gameplay systems because they can afford it. But the smartest people who made great game engines have all moved onto other stuff like AI.

Damn, just reading all these comments of your nostalgia, I can feel it all, it’s nice.
I’m now 37 years old, I remember when this game dropped and how excited my friends and I were, and we were even more jacked up when online came out! I even took the day off from work when gta online dropped just to never load into the game world haha.
Having played this game across 3 console generations (360, ps4 and ps5) I have so many memories and this music is the score to them. So many friends who haven’t logged-in in years now, but we still rehash our most memorable gta antics when we get together.
We played this game pretty religiously from 2013 to around the biker gang dlc, took a very long hiatus, then Covid hit. Since two other friends of mine were working from home too, we decided to put down Siege for a bit to check out the casino one night. This snowballed into buying everything to do the casino and dooms day heist, buying the nightclub and maintaining the business, to eventually being all caught up with the submarine at this advanced age LOL!
It’s just funny how life works and how gta mirrors it. Instead of playing with 6 deep, its now mostly solo or with one other friend who still finds time to game. Reading these comments of seemingly younger gamers who appear to no longer play, makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong, as if I should be doing life lol. Since gta v’s release, I’ve established my career, got married, bought a house, and now have a son. I’ve traveled and touched grass all in between lol.
I guess the point of it all is, if you still have the passion to play any game, and you work hard, find a good job, and have a good supportive wife/partner, you don’t have to stop. It will be different, and it will feel different because your friends will have gone separate ways, but that’s just life. The game world is all of those memories made, they will never leave.
Boomer out.
Beautifully written
*applause* Just great! Well written!
ah mah gawd im crying rn
This is just, awesome, keep playing my dudes
whipped it out so fast
This generation was raised and born in los santos
True that
I started playing the game on it's launch day, 17th September 2013 . I pre ordered it for my PS3. I remember how mindfucked i was when i first played it. Literally everything about the game blew me away. I was 13 at the time (yeah i know, in 2013 i was 13 years old, pretty cool huh). And i had a knack for literally spending hours to read the Wikipedia page about the things i like. I did that for this game too. I remember reading every little detail into how this game was made. I still remember they i guess shot more than 100k pictures of Los Angeles and 40k+ videos just to recreate the beauty of the map. And they did that successfully. And after reading everything and playing the game for 1000 hours (no kidding), made up my mind that i want a job at Rockstar North (the specific Rockstar studio responsible for the development of the game for the most part) and i want to see my name in the end credits of GTA 6 (lol).
When i got the game, at first i literally spent a month or two to just explore the game the map and everything and didn't do any missions. Then i wanted weapons money all that so i started playing the story. Fell in love with it. Franklin became my favourite.
Also i remember logging onto GTA online the first day it launched, 1 October 2013 just 13 days after the release of the game. I didn't get the chance to play as everyone knows how fucked up the servers were that day. I played on 2nd or 3rd then. Made a hell lot of friends online. Summer of 2015 is my favourite that was the time i joined a wonderful crew and made a lot of friends. Our summer vacation was going on and we used to play for 24 hours!
Then it got slow because most of the people shifted to next gen. I couldn't. I still have my PS3 and don't have a PS4.
Today is 23 December 2021, 8 days after the servers went offline for PS3. And i logged on the game one last time to get the last glimpse of my character, cars, weapons, money (thank you all the modders), my character's stats, and the whole game in general before it you know got complicated and all the things because of which people don't like it today.
Also i started playing on my laptop (shitty, but hey atleast i can play gta again) two or three months ago. Currently, the game is on in front of me and the pause menu is opened. I forgot about the fact that pause menu had a music. It suddenly started playing while i was doing something and paused the game for it. High dose of nostalgia hit me suddenly. And after 2 minutes, I'm here writing this comment.
Thanks to all the readers who made it here and I hope you have a great day in GTA the next time you play :D

I'm 49 years old. Been playing video games since Pong. Then Atari, Intellivision, you name it. Pre-ordered for the 360 when it was released. Felt silly walking to customer service to get MY copy, looking at the MOUNTAIN of copies on display. I can't count how many times I've played thru the story, each time seeing something new. GTA 5 will FOREVER live in my heart as the greatest game ever made (despite all the times I missed it /fell off the top of the freakin train riding the motorcycle as Trevor) 🤣
All you had to do was follow the damn train Trevor!

I love you bro ❤️

Time flies, but you stay.
This music delivers that feeling perfectly.
Back when I was overwhelmed by this game’s story and gameplay, back when my only worries were about making enough money in the game to buy the Adder, back when I was so excited about the first heist update, back when GTA Online was pure and simple, back when the grinding was fun, back when completing heists late at night with those friends that I have never actually seen was a thing, back when there were no flying cars and bikes shooting up the place. This game helped me with my anxiety. One word : nostalgia.
🔥Things do change for the better🔥
i mean grinding is still fun with friends, just had a blast this evening messing around with the Diamond Casino Heist, but i agree, flying cars and bikes are just downright stupid
I really miss dogfights, nowadays, those stuff are hella rare
Imagine not playing the story mode and only being nostalgic about the online
Back when it was GrandTheftAuto
@@yesdude3914 it’s the only thing I still play
how they managed to mix futuristic and nostalgic into one sound I will never know, and will never stop being impressed by
tangerine dream does that
What futuristic?
The 80s did it first. Their take on what they thought futuristic was, is sort of why this is nostalgic. That’s why I love synth music.
@@sugabud Kraftwerk did it even earlier. But I have to say 80s synth is way smooother
Like Dua Lipa
After beating the story mode 7+ times (that I can remember) ranking up 430+ levels online (naturally) and earning over 150,000,000 cumulative dollars (without cheating) and creating memories that last a lifetime I can truly call this place home. What an amazing era we all got to be apart of. Whatever succeeds this game in the GTA, better or worse, won’t have the same impact on our generation like this masterpiece did.
damnnnn how many hours you got on the game
There is no way you got 150 billion dollars without cheating. Did you mean 1 million?
150B? I know someone who plays this game daily grinding and he’s only made a total of over 2-3B since launch…
(Edit: Yes he put 150B, then edited his comment to 150M so no my comment was not wrong)
you buy shark cards huh 😂😂
I think he maybe meant that Overall collected 150B. From contact missions to today's broken Perico heist
i just spent 10 hours doordashing and i literally played this in my truck the entire time. i felt like i was playing gta in real life doing side missions
lmao that's fire, personally if i was you i would find multiple typa songs like this, from different movies and games I played, all combined will make me feel like how you did for real, I like to repeat the same songs alot for sure, but if i repeated this song the whole drive i would get tired of it
I recommend listening to cleaning out the bureau OST, it gives off secret mission vibes
bro just like me, its a peaceful feeling, its like getting missions on ur phone when u get an order lol
Ikyfl about doordashing for 10 hours 🗿
yall cant even imagine what im feeling by just hearing that
Yeah.. that's nostalgia for ya
Literally every one can stfu
Dude this makes everyone a little upset cause it makes everyone realize how quickly time flies by and how we will never be able to get the same feelings we did before.
goosebumps on me mann
I remember getting this game, I was 9 and my parents allowed me to miss the school the next day because I got it that night and stayed up all night playing it. I remember you needed the atomic blimp code in order to get the blimp I remember how bad the servers were for GTA online when they first went online. I remember it all including "Beach Bum". I have a friend of 9 years from this game his name is Brett. This game has been through so much like break ups, divorces, growing up all of it.
Do you remember when you stole Zentornos, Adders and T20s?
Do you remember when the most played modes were: RPG vs Insurgent, Deathmatches, Deathruns, Stunt Races?
Do you remember when the max number of players in one session was 15?
Do you remember when only the Rhino and Lazer were the most feared veichles?
Yes, I remember everything.
The past was the best and nobody will forgot it.
Thank you GTA
Haven’t heard of rpg vs insurgent in years…. 😞

cant forget Snipers vs Stunters

Who knew a pause theme from a video game could have me reflect on so many important and/or impactful moments in my life. Interestingly enough, my niece and nephew were born on Sept 17, which makes it really easy for me to keep up with their bday since I obsessed over this date as a teen waiting for GTA V's release.

My teen years were spent with this. This reminds me of one summer evening in particular, I was home alone and playing gta 5, I paused to get some water, came back picked up the controller, but didn't go back to playing, I just sat there looking at the screen listening to this music, it was the first time I really noticed this music. This is just way more than a game. I got attached to this, reading other comments here so did a lot of us. Its crazy to think that there kids out there playing this for the first time but for me its just a big nostalgia trip

I remember watching streamers play GTA Online with their friends when the game first came out. Remember HikeTheGamer/HikePlays? Man, I wanted to join in on that fun so badly.
I finally did in 2015 with my own few buddies online. I bought a PS4 just to play GTA.
Scraping money together to buy a nice car, meeting up, the free Elegy car being an absolute godsend, deciding whether to spend 30k on underglow just to make your car nicer, going off that one ramp beside the tunnel to get into Zancudo and steal a jet, getting businesses, making money, that one guy who always dies during the heist, "give me 85%", pulling all-nighters, "how many people can we pick up in this Barracks?"; finally buying all the cool things, drag races at the airport, offroading in Vinewood Hills and Sandy Shores desert, pretending to be truckers when "Convoy" comes on the radio, climbing Chiliad in hearses, shuttle buses, tanks and dump trucks, "let's land a Volatol on top of Maze Bank", taking 4 lads on a dinghy out to the edge of the map and sinking, last stands against the cops, the classic trick when you're in a plane - "What button's for dropping bombs?" "Triangle"; buying a Lazer just so you don't have to ramp into Zancudo anymore, knowing the map better than our own town, submarine shenanigans, garage tours, "what if we kick the cops out of that prison in Sandy Shores and have it to ourselves?"; the PTSD from seeing Oppressor Mk2s closing in on the map as well as the missile lock tone when you're trying to sell bunker supplies, teaming up and fighting griefers, making friends with randomers, doing airshows, all the good stuff.
"It's getting late lads, I'll see ye tomorrow".
The boys have moved on since then.
This is the absolute most fun you can have in online gaming.
Its enough to make a grown man cry

It was circa 2011-12 but It was one of the most fun moments in my story of multiplayer gaming and will remember this for a long time at least. Never seen him again.
When the gsme first came out, the online part wasnt even there yet. I feel so nostalgic, playing the campaign and waiting for the online portion to drop. Damn good times.

This music hits me so different. Its like a feeling of nostalgia but also a feeling of being able to sit back and chill
I remember when this game dropped back in 2013, I was 12 and playing it at my friends house, it was only story mode out and I pulled an all nighter and finished the whole story while my friend having passed out and waking up and me still sitting there playing haha, soon got in to online when it got released and it was mayhem was fun back in those days no tryhards or people caring about a score, just simple PvP and grinding. Always couldn’t wait to get home from school and play, would ride my bike home and turn on the game till midnight and the go to bed for school again and repeat, no dramas in my life, everything seemed so easy.
Fast forward 9 years I’m 21, got a job been through break ups, traveled, nearly died in a car crash, partying, gotten drunk haha all the fun stuff and life’s so much harder but it is what you make it I guess, I miss the times 9-8 years ago when this was all I knew, I would do anything to go back, you truely never knew you were in the good times till you sit back a few years later and reminisce on the good old days. Haven’t touch the game in 3 years but boy do I miss it. The friends made along the way, the car meets, the racing through los santos with your first supercar, your first 5 star wanted level, your first time driving round the map and those late nights driving through the snow at night on the highway, it all comes back and hits you with a big wave of nostalgia. Will forever and always be my favourite game.
To whoever reads this, wishing you all the best, we only got one life so make the most of it. ❤️

They could do this when inevitably they shutdown Gta 5 online servers.
@Kizoxu not until another decade.
this is exactly how it felt when servers shut down on ps3, since i mainly played on there...
Yeah they could have showed that they care a little bit at the end of the PS 360 era, like if you were on the game the moment it shut down, there would be a cutscene of your character just stopping for a second, thinking deeply and then just like in story prologue, there will be a black screen with the text "a few days later" and you would see your character at the airport saying goodbye to friends you made like Lamar, Lester, Mechanic etc. And then you just see a plane take off and the screen turns dark. Then there will be a text that says
"Thank you for playing GTA online on the (your console). If you want to continue your story, play the game on the (next gen console). The servers for the (your console) are now shut down"

And while we were eating pizza game was paused and this song was playing every damn minute, we were so annoyed by it back in the day. 22 years old now but I remember it like it was 4 days ago.

I remember the first time I ever played this game. It was a dark night. A young kid who convinced his mom to get him a game. I had to inherit my dad's old Xbox 360 with a hard drive just to play it. I waited... And waited... And waited... And when it was finally done downloading, I can remember clear as day going through the prologue. Something I will never forget. The emotions that I poured out playing for the first time will be something that will always haunt me. Then, the next mission where Franklin and Lamar repo a motorcycle. I couldn't tell you how many times I replayed that mission because I failed to understand what saving the game was. I hated it back then, but as I've matured, I've really looked back and said, "Did I really used to not like some of these missions?" Your brain likes to play tricks with you. Something else I didn't do was play missions. I had a lack of care for anything story related, so I just roamed the entire map, top to bottom. I did it so many times I can remember every road like my own neighborhood. It literally became a second home for me. As time went on my ADHD got the better of me and my parents took the game away, thinking that is was the reason I was acting out. (It wasn't) I went over a year without playing it. Until one day, I booted up my Xbox and I went to the Xbox store. There it was. GTA 5 on a discount for probably 30 dollars. A good deal back then. I begged and begged and begged, and by now my ADHD had improved drastically, and my mother finally said yes. I was so unbelievably excited. I was on my dad's old account because he was the only one who had Xbox live at the time. I booted up the game, went to online, and there I was, back home. I remember failing and not understanding that you had to be on a next gen console to do certain things, and here I was, a dumb kid trying to figure out why I couldn't go into first person. Time passed, I slowly ranked up, to about 63 I believe, and Christmas was right around the corner. I didn't know what to expect that year, but what I got changed everything. It was a PlayStation 4. A real PlayStation 4! I could recall playing Destiny with my father, who also loves Bungie, but I wanted to do one more thing. Purchase GTA. I specifically remember getting the bundle with a great white shark card to give you a boost. I waited. And waited. And waited again. Until finally, it was done downloading. I loaded up the story mode and was amazed at the graphics and features not on the recent generation. I was completely blown away. It was nothing until I switched to online. Even today I'm on the same exact account with a character that looks just like VanossGaming's character. (He was one of the reasons the game had a strong impact on me as well) I can even remember the first car I bought in the game. It was a yellow Vacca with green tire smoke and a low level spoiler. I was amazed. I then ran across a friend who will forever be near to my heart. His name was MrLegendary1999. He was about 6 years older than me and he treated me like his fun younger brother. We did so many fun things together with his friends. But then one day, we stopped playing. I didn't know what happened. All I knew was that was something I wouldn't recover from. We had done so much. But it was all gone like that. A few years pass, more memories, more updates, more money on shark cards, and then I met another familiar face. His name was BigTaker195. Boy have I got some stories with him. We did everything, from helping each other out with MC business to just messing around with a firetruck in Sandy Shores. Everything. But one day, that all stopped, too. I was heartbroken. This was the second one that turned into a ghost. I have no idea where he is now, but I hope you're doing ok, Taker. More years pass and then boom. Pandemic. I took my PlayStation 4 to my grandparents house along with my school supplies to do education from home. I remained playing GTA but not as often as I used to. I was burnt out. But then one day, I got an idea. I got on a long thinking train about my previous friend, MrLegendary1999, and realized I still have some of his friends on my friends list. I hit one of them up asking what happened. Luckily, one friend, named JDog, also remembered Legendary and hit him up. Push came to shove and there he was. I was talking to MrLegendary1999 again. For the first time in 4 years I was back with an old friend. I told him we had to play sometime and he agreed but we have yet to. It's been 2 years. I plan to message him eventually. A year later I started a grind. One like I've never done before. I saved up enough money and bought a submarine. Still the best purchase I've ever made in the game to this day. It was summer 2021 and I had the worst cold that I have ever experienced in my whole life. Uncontrollable coughing. Fever. It was not fun. But then something happened. My father got an email saying that long time PSN members would be given a chance to purchase a brand new PlayStation 5. He bought one. I was so excited. I took it to my room since we share it and he's more of a PC guy these days and I downloaded the PlayStation 4 version of GTA 5 which was the only one available to me at the time. I remember the tuner update had just come out, as well. I was always doing something with Cayo Perico. I must have played it over 30 times from then until the end of summer. And boy were those some great memories. A year later and here I am. I'm almost done with school. I've got a 1999 Dodge Dakota which I love with all of my heart, and still playing Grand Theft Auto. Words cannot describe how much of my life has been impacted by this game alone. It has given me so much happiness. So much pain. So much frustration at Rockstar. So much love from Rockstar. It was all worth it. Every minute of it. And I never want to forget anything about this game. I don't know if I will still be playing this game when the next comes out, but for now, I am content. I don't know where I'll end up in life, but I can assure you, I will make every minute worth it. That's who I am. That's who I've always been. That's who I want to be. That's who I can be. But most of all, that is my story.
Man, its sad that you almost broke you fingers to wrote this, but man i got the same situation, i got GTA V on my xbox 360, and then i lost the disk and cant play it, until my father got GTA V on Xbox 360 again, but i cant play that long as i want to, but when i complete the story mode i almost broke up in tears, and after some time i find this video which bring me so many memories, now i have GTA V ob my xbox one s and i replay the story mode, i think, i think its ky fourth playthrough, its so sad that our childhood is gone really fast, i wish i could just, became a little child, 6-7 age probably and just sit and play, and there's is nothing to worry about
And people say "writing is a skill left to rot"
I remember getting this game, I was 9 and my parents allowed me to miss the school the next day because I got it that night and stayed up all night playing it. I remember you needed the atomic blimp code in order to get the blimp I remember how bad the servers were for GTA online when they first went online. I remember it all. I have a friend of 9 years from this game his name is Brett. This game has been through so much like break ups, divorces, growing up all of it.
Dude I love your story. I grew up with this game too even tho I didn’t play it for a long time. I was 8 years old when the game released and ofc my parents didn’t let me play it but I would watch so much RUclips content on the game like Typical Gamer and TheJimmyJ57 and especially JackSepticEye and some others I don’t remember. Then when I was 13 almost 14 my parents finally let me play the game so I went on Amazon and bought a used Xbox360 slim and a copy of the game and played it non stop. Well I remember the day it arrived I played like an hour cuz the package had arrived late at night and the next day I was staying at a family member’s house and while I was at their place that day I was so eager to get home and play. I got home and played until like 6am every day for a few weeks just in story mode alone. Btw this was in summer of 2019 so yeah next gen was definitely a thing but I didn’t care I was content with my last gen story mode. Then I played online when Covid started on my 360 and I was shocked to see how active it was considering the console was so old. Well that summer of 2020 I sold my Nintendo Switch and bought a PS4 slim with GTA V and finally played online properly and I was hooked. I had a long time childhood best friend who I knew in person who played online on PS4 and so I finally played with him and it was great. I remember our first time playing I had just started my new character and only had my first car (the Phoenix) and he was driving his Jester classic that was built to look like Brian’s Supra from F&F and I stole it from him and crashed it into a lake lol. We screwed around with eachother and did missions etc. I remember getting another close friend of mine to play the game too and we had a fantastic time grinding and doing missions together as well. Me and my friends are car enthusiasts as well so we did tons of car meets when PS4 communities was still a thing but when that died we started a discord server to host meets on PS4. We hosted daily the next summer (summer 2021) and has 110+ members in the discord. Then school was back in September so we didn’t have time to host and the server completely died and any attempts to revive it didnt work sadly. I have joined other servers to join meets again recently and wow is it fun to be in GTA car meets again. I remember when the Tuner update was announced me and my car friends were so unbelievably hyped cuz my dream car and my friend’s dream car were both being added to the game with that update (mine being the RX7 that is the ZR350 in game and his being the gen 6 Celica being the Calico in game) and so we graded Cayo Perico a ton before it was nerfed to get cash for the update. We did the heist over 60 times in 3 weeks and it still wasn’t enough to buy everything we wanted from that upstate lol (I still don’t have the MK5 Supra from that update) since then it’s been more grinding more car meets and more fun. I have a PS5 and the PS5 version now which is super fun and ray tracing is no joke. I still play lots of story mode too (replaying the story with the characters that i love and just doing fun things on my own). I have over 2000 hours on thr PS4 version alone + the PS5 which I’m now playing + almost 300 on my PS3 and I think almost 300 on my 360. I love this game and I don’t think R* could ever top it!
I ain't reading allat
This music will always feel like home to me. I was 12 when this game came out and I remember my sister picking it up for the PS3 on release, we lived in quite a broken and traumatic home that I won’t get into but this game helped me escape that and even to this day helps me escape constant thoughts of depression and suicide. I will forever say that this has been the greatest and most influential game of my generation no matter how stupid the future for gta online is and has already become. I am still struggling with life and what direction I want to take with mine but for the time being while playing this game wether that be alone or with randoms or friends, I can tell myself that I am okay and zone out as if I was 12 all over again.
I am always proud to be a part of this community and I hope everyone else has found what they want in life ❤️
Amen brother. Hope everything works out for you.
@@myspace8399 u 2 man
Your not alone brother, i feel you
unfortunately, not everyone finds their lifes as they want. Wish you the best brother
Bro I feel for you I was 15 when the game came out if Rockstar Games hadn't announced the game in 2012 I wouldn't be here today. I still have depression and suicidal thoughts but a part of me really wants to know how gta 6 will be. I wish you all the best for your future and to all those who also have depression talk about it even if it is difficult
now that im older i miss sneak playing gta 5 and closing it when my mom would walk by. i dont want to be old anymore i cant handle it
I find just wonderful how we all have very special memories with this game, yet so different, yet so similar. But one thing is sure, this game changed our life, and gaming. What would be gaming without GTA V?
And the fact that some of us probably were in the same lobby, race, heist… is incredibly awesome.
So beautifully put :)
They will probably do this with the next gta for another 10 years
9 years of my life has passed since the release of this game, the friends that came and went the stories we made. To some people it was just a game but to some of our young minds it had an enormous impact on the men and women we would become. I am now 22, I bought the game day 1 and have played ever since. Summer 2014 is one I will never forget thank you Rockstar games.
Man i remember playing this game for the first time in 2019 and being nostalgic about that. I cant even imagine the level of nostalgia from people who been playing since 2013
It's a heavy feeling to see how much has changed. Even since 2019 is a good amount but being there when the base game released was wild. Old friends you don't talk to anymore, kids turned to adults, playing with people who passed away. Especially hearing this song it just gets heavy thinking about how much has changed in what's almost a decade. Shits crazy man.
ah man you missed out on a lot. it's just not the same anymore and hasn't been since last gen came out.
@@7718ac same its been 10 years so much has changed I began playing with so much people so much memories and now everyone is gone following their own path. Thanks gta 5. Best gta for me with vice city on psp back in 2009 and one the best games ever.
It’s amazing bro
Oh man.......
Things will never be the same. This song is giving the exact vibe of early 2010s.
Fr the early 2010s was golden bro
This gives me waves of sadness and happiness. Happiness for the memories from the last 9 years, and sadness that I am now in my early 30's, and a lot of the people I made incredible memories with, haven't been online in over 3 years. Memories, that can not ever be recreated. The feeling of waking up and excitedly getting on GTA Online. Amazing memories.
This remembers me of 5 years ago when I had a really difficult time in my life. I played this game so much back then because it was such a good way to escape reality for a while. Time flies.
Im in sutch a Phase rn and i hope its getting better soon but i play gta 5 and lisening to the Song
POV: It's 2013, you're playing GTA5 in the cold winter.
@@Mr.E22 damn man... Such memories.
@@Mr.E22 stop i’m gonna cry
I played GTA V first time in summer 2014 when I was 9 years old. Still remember these hundreds hours of gameplay, all of these funny situations, my favourite missions as well as these that I was scared of as a child (especially "Dead Man Walking"). I remember completing the single player mode literally dozen times. When I hear this music I see myself sometime between 2014 and 2016, playing this game, my parents were calling me for dinner, I paused the game and this amazing track started. Back in these days I didn't appreciated it. Only years later, while I hear this song nostalgia hits like never before. Life was so easy then. Now, 8 years later there isn't that much time for playing GTA (or any other games), but I wish that some day in the future I'll be able to feel all of this beauty again, just like in the good old days. And I wish all of you the same.

We were just having fun not realizing the memories and the friends that were being made. Thanks to GTA 5 I met a friend whose name is Brett he's still my friend 9 years later. This game has been through it all, divorces, break ups, moving 2 times all of it. I truly appreciate this game I remember being 9 and missing a day of school because I was getting it the night it came out and I ended up playing it all night. I'm 19 now life is so different I truly miss the old days with my friends on playstation playing this. Life is so complicated now and I don't have much time for games anymore
We must be around the same age, I was also 9 when I first played in 2014. Just turned 18 a few months ago, life sucks
I heard this pause menu music back in 2014/15. I’m glad that people nowadays realized how nostalgic and amazing this is
Its so true I never will forget this game, my favorit game, I played gta 7 years ago... Nostalgia is incradible
@@no_wara trueeee. gta 5 xbox 360&ps3 times were golden.
Also the beginning ps4&xbox one times in 2014/15 were good.
The score for the entirety of GTA 5 was amazing. The composer team really needs to be more recognized. People can say GTA is old and not fun anymore, but it's definitely one of the best games ever made from every perspective.
Exactly this Game is One of the Best Game ever 😍😎on PS3/4/5 and Xbox 360/One/Series X with PC👌
I actually agree that GTA is old and not fun anymore. The GTA 6 leaks just look like RDR2 cross-bred with GTA IV - and I'm quite honestly just not that excited about it. The story is no doubt set to be yet more maudlin, emotionally charged crap laced with pop culture and sneering sarcasm. The world will be oversized and side activities will feel like chores.
That and Rockstar have spent so much time on GTA and RDR that they just seem to have nothing else. RAGE makes all their more recent games look and play the exact same.
I was 9 when this came out, the violence in this game immersed me, I am now 17 and a serial killer.
Thank you rockstar
that's kinda cute
@@capybaraville Agree
Gta 5 u will be remembered amen
I was 6 and got it a few months later for my 7th birthday
u kinda cute tho
This game defined a generation.
Almost 11 years have past since launch.
I was 12, living in Northern Sweden, in year 6, having the absolute best time of my life on this game with my friends.
3 girlfriends, 2 jobs, graduating in 2017 (school here is different than the United States), a PS4, my first gaming PC, a PS5, moving on with life and many more later, I am proud to call Los Santos home.
I have only played the HD Trilogy but I'm ready to go back to Vice City.
Man, I was just 9 or 10 years old when this game came out and I first played. I'm now almost 18 years old finishing high school next year, and I'll still be playing this game. This game is literally my childhood, despite the ups and downs and the recent actions of rockstar, this game will go down in history as one of the best.
А мне сейчас 24 и моей игрой детства была гта Вайс сити в 2004 году
Same, I was almost 9 (approx. a month shy of 9) when this game came out and when I saw one of favorite RUclipsrs at the time made a video on it I was so excited and then, the love of gta grew. The first time I ever played gta v was Dec 25, 2014. I was in fourth grade and the feeling of not knowing what you’re doing on a new game with new controls was an amazing experience, something that I wish I could go back to.
i was 9 when i got gta in 2015 now im 16, i own a car irl and i always log on every day i love it so much
@ٴ stay away from porn before you get addicted without realizing
@ٴ I’m sorry to hear man. I first started watching porn was i was 11 and didn’t know how bad it was for the brain until 20. Everyone said it was normal and healthy but that’s so false. It’s less about the porn and more about the dopamine addiction we get from it
(3-25-2022)
I remember when this game came out, i was 12 years old & had no money to get the game. My older brother got the game for me about a year or so later for my xbox 360. The problem was that i had a xbox 360 kinect so it only had 4gb of storage. i put in the disc & the game couldnt load because i needed more storage. I had the game but couldnt play it until maybe a month or so later when i bought a usb with More gbs. as soon i was loaded up into the game i was instantly hooked & Blown away. the graphics jump from gta IV was massive! i remember just roaming around, exploring the map at first with me & my brother taking turns. The sounds of the city, the people walking up & down the streets, even the wildlife blew me away. then Gta online oh my god what great memories i made & how many friends i made online, the nights we stayed up on a saturday night grinding Rooftop Rumble. Honestly i wish i could go back, life was so peaceful, life was so simple, & this game made my childhood so so unforgetable.
Rooftop rumble!!! Me and my closest friends that I grew up with would grind this all night. Seems so long ago but not really.
This is now iconic... I just realized that I can listen to this for hours. 💯💪🙌
I want this theme to run at my funeral, with the best and emotional photos of my life. This is what I have asked for in my last will and testament. Life is like in GTA - it consists of successes, failures, joy, frustration, camaraderie, betrayal, family, love.
And don't forget the "memories'❤️
