Thats why I think we should just appreciate this masterpiece and stop asking for a new GTA game. Rockstagames isnt what it used to be anymore, and the people who created this magnificent game arnt there. RIP GTA💔
this brings me back to 2013, one day after release, no gta online and i fell asleep during the story, when i woke up the pause menu was open and this beautiful music was playing!
@Veradux nah don’t actually say you think that gta online is the best multiplayer game. Without shark cards or a friend group always playing the game is boring as hell
I'll never forget the comment that described it best, "This song gives you a break from the game and shows you that underneath all the jokes and satire/parody there's a hidden dark mystery in the story." Can't remember exactly how it went.
I think I can try making a better one: “When you pause and hear this soundtrack going off, this illuminates the darkness and corruption humans use in there power to make it big”
A comment I saw made a very accurate assessment when they said that this piece really captures the true sadness behind the story of GTA V. When you look beyond all of the humor, the parody, the absurdity, and the over the top presentation of it, it really is a tragic story about the broken people living in a broken society.
its rad seeing younger dudes have the same experience with this pause music that I had with the GTA IV Ballad of Gay Tony pause music OST. Life is a cycle my brothers
Ballade of gay tony music takes me back i was living in a different country with no wifi haven’t experienced internet much. Only thing i had was the menu music when i fell asleep hahahaha crazy times.
Nothing can match GTA 5 online like 2013 did. No dlcs, no futuristic stuff, and everyone started out a low level (unless u hacked). The way people interacted, made money, hung out, I mean everything. It was awesome and in that time, GTA really did succeed in being the best Open world game ever.
@@sandburger974 we were told that life gets better as you grow older cause you'll have money and have sex and and and, only to realize that if you play your cards right life peaks at mid to late teens cause you're full of energy and everything excites you. Im 26 and i dont wanna neglect the present but holy fuck the things id do to be a teenager again
I used to play this game a lot when I was a kid. But time passed, the first love, the first job in the profession, the wedding, the birth of a son. And now my son at 7 years old comes into my account, launches GTA 5 and this music starts playing in the menu. At that moment, I realized that I was no longer a kid and a new part of GTA had not yet been released...
Man, Winter 2013, GTAO was a mere two months old and a modder messages me on the in-game phone saying "merry Christmas dude" and gifts me £80,000,000. Bought the best apartment, the Adder and Entity XF...... all those years ago.
@@MACIEK_2303 Yeah, pure toxicity now. Has been for years ever since R* started to prioritise military stuff and flying bikes.... miss the old days when all you had to worry about was a stolen Laser.
I was 11 when this came out, and I was a very different person. I remember my Mom had still banned GTA in the house, but when GTA 5 came out, she finally let us play it. I was overjoyed and have never been happier in my life to see a bank robbery. I was so excited when the opening sequence began of Michael and Trevor, along with Brad in Ludendorff. I was literally ecstatic with my brother over it Now, I'm almost 20. I listened to this... and I'll admit, I teared up, I cried a little bit. Each day is more valuable than we think. Life moves fast, and if you don't stop and look around and admire what's around, you may just miss it. 💖
@@squeezesab1r922 I understand how you feel, but we aren't children anymore. We all have to grow up, and granted I'm not having kids, I honestly just hope Rockstar gives the children of those that do... the same fun memories they could have in GTA 6. That is, if Rockstar ever releases another game.
I wish i could go back to those times. I'm hyped a lot for GTA 6 but i know that what i'm looking for isn't a new GTA game. I miss my childhood, that's what i miss. I both remember the first i played Vice City and 5. That times we had no worries, no big responsibilities and we didn't used to feel alone. Thanks to Rockstar they made some games to make us remember our childhood and those good times. GTA series are big part of my and lots of people childhood. I know those times are not gonna come back but i'm glad it happened. Yes, gentlemen. It happened.
Man, I remember chilling with my boys on GTA back when we were 14 just messing about and having fun. My boy Liam, man, we used to run Fleeca back to back trynna grind money for the next update lmao. We got hella good at it; staying up till 5am talking about life, school and what's been going on then my other friends would hop in the party, too. The memories that one song can bring out is insane.
I remember staying up with a buddy, who i still never met irl, talking about life while mindless flying from one end of the map to the other in a Titan
I remember the old days when I played GTA 5 at night, now I remember it and my soul becomes so warm. Thank you Trevor, Michael, Franklin for all the time I spent with you.
96 here too, I cannot fathom how quickly time went, still can remember receiving gta v for xbox 360 in mail and discovering map with Franklin for first time 🥲
Same here fella. Sept 2013, started my second year at college when this got released. Easier time, a more innocent time where I didn't have worries about life or the general rat race that goes on nowadays. I wanna go back 👍
@@bluraydisc-hd u missed out on everything the game don’t hit how it once did but all imma say is at least ur playing the biggest game of all time no game was touching gta 5 in it’s prime it was everything too come home from school and play all night now we’re grown and things changed I’m 18 btw
POV: You are in the late 2013 and the early 2014. And after dinner you’re gonna play GTA 5 on online with your friends or by yourself. Until late in the evening. 🙌🙌.
This was the biggest game in the world when it released back then… I was only 11 years old, and I remember being as excited as everyone else here in the comments. I couldn’t get it for a little bit but eventually I got it when I was 12. The world of Grand Theft Auto V was amazing. I had an unimaginable amount of fun playing it as a curious and energetic kid. Me and my friends played online together, had fun with races, missions, role playing. As the years went on, we all continued playing, but the.. magic of GTA V was slowly fading, and before we knew it we were all on the verge of adulthood… we played a few more times, and suddenly one day.. we all stopped playing together. Yes, we keep in contact but.. we’re all now adults, with jobs, and futures. Every single one of us wishes we could go back in time to the days of playing old games like this, and not caring about making it to a job the next morning, or paying bills… But the memories.. they’re still pure.. and will last forever in our hearts. Hopefully one day when GTA 6 comes out we can all manage to sit down and play again.. like old times.
I was 17 when this released and it’s crazy to think that even then just like we are now I was looking back ten years and thinking wow it’s been so long since all these games I grew up with released like gta vice city and San Andreas, ratchet and clank, jak and daxter, need for speed, atv off road fury, ssx tricky, crash bandicoot all these games I grew up with in the early 2000s are now over 20 years old… and this one will be eventually too and we’ll be looking back almost a decade on gta 6 and the cycle repeats
A master piece at its finest,GTA V will always have a place in my heart,from the race against Lamar in the Xbox 360,to the online multiplayer on the ps5,I seriously adore this game and I can’t wait for GTA VI,the new generation won’t understand the thrill to skip school acting sick just to secretly fire up the Xbox to continue where you left off yesterday
I cant stop listening to this on repeat. It’s just so chill, and really heals me. I love the idea of sitting somewhere on a balcony high up in the city, at night, watching the city while chilling with friends.
Makes me wanna go to some restaurant on 20+ floor and observe my city from the balcony in the late night while it’s chill weather outside and the winds slightly moves my t shirt and hair
Listening to this is like losing a faith in humanity, thinking about the old days when things were simplier, and looking towards a void called "future"
god, i remember playing GTA V for countless hours with my friends on the 360. we played for years up until late 2018, one of our friends didn't want to spend any money on the xbox one, i added the other two but one of them just stopped playing and never got back on, and the other one i never speak to anymore. and a good portion of my other xbox friends just stopped playing on the 360, never going back online, their avatar still asleep, never to be awoken again. i speak to none of them anymore, and there were eight of us that were real close, and others that we only occasionally played with. i hope that all of them are doing amazing in life, as it's very likely i will never speak to them again
As you listen , a feeling of longing or nostalgia awakens within you , and in that , your childhood memories are also emerging little by little , of people you already talked to and nowadays no longer speak to each other , of funny moments , in the times when you were happy and played GTA V for the first time, when nothing mattered but this game... time passes and we realize that nothing will be like before, this song also gives me the feeling that the happy side of life it's just an illusion, we're all going the same way... just from different perspectives... I miss this game and that magnificent soundtrack.
Stop man. The part about friends got me there. I had a load of friends years ago and we played this together. Sadly, GTA can be toxic if you're not careful and we all split up many years ago. I still miss them sometimes and wonder what they're doing nowadays.....
With a game so closely tied to Los Angeles I feel like this music provides an amazing dramatic contrast to the gameplay… reflecting on the crazy chaos of the city and that there are so many people there just trying to live their life and make it through.
@@SwissMarksman NEVER even thought of that!!! Perfect movie. Perfect game. Perfect comparison And fun fact: much of the details from the robberies in the game, were directly inspired from the movie Heat. So this comparison does make total sense
This track always reminds me of how small, insignificant and short are our lifes. 10 years already... My childhood just disappeared in one blink, and I'm sure i ll be in a comment section stating the same thing but for my entire life in 2 extra blinks...
I was 12 when this game came out and now I’m 22. I remember how the world went crazy over the GTA 5 release and how I put it in my Xbox 360 the first time ever. What a memories, those moments can be lost in time like tears in the rain. 10 years later I still have gta 5 on my Xbox one S, but it doesn’t feel the same anymore
It was happening, we were having good times not knowing we were making great memories,remebering great times with my friends all driving around los santos in our favorite cars ,doing missions and helping each other back in 2018 ,its been 4 years I reinstall the game to play it again solo ,memories hit hard knowing they are offline years ago,today just stopped playing let my memories live in my head, wish everybody good luck in life who knows maybe we played together
I have met my girlfriend 5 years ago. She was the sweetest person I've ever seen and what I most liked about her was how she included me in every little moment: basic shares, music, making food and especially playing video games. We decided to get GTA V because it would be cool to be in a "partners in crime" situation, what we didn't predict is that we would so much fun making heist strategies and theorize about its mysteries like the jetpack and big foot kind of thing. One day, she got a strong headache, she said it was fine and It was probably due to stress or something but 3 or 4 hours later she had a seizure and passed away at the hospital. I'm not going into details. This week I've opened GTA V again but now on story mode, I couldn't do it. I couldn't play it without crying I couldn't stop remembering about her. So I paused the game, staring blankly to the wall for 30 minutes or so. I love GTA V and I also love her, these exact reasons prevents me to open that game again. Thank you my love I just wish I could see you again.
This game was my life from 2013-2016~ I loved it so much but unfortunately everyone I used to play with stopped playing it. I had a group of 10+ people and they all stopped. RIP
I just love how everyone are nostalgic of this game but in our own ways. For me I will always remember the midnight release and sitting in the car ride home with my copy. For two years I had to wait. I followed every news source there ever was. All the hours I spent on forums, chats and youtube videos. Debunking screenshots, coming up with speculations and watching trailers literally frame by frame trying to see details or something interesting. I was totally engrossed between 2011-2013. And when I finally had my copy I just stared at it. Couldn't believe it was in my fucking hands.
Gta isnt only a game but a whole Nostalgia and the best experience ive seen in my life back in the days it was so fun.. untill the world has become depressed.. I just miss the fun i had😭
Many people talk about how much they wish they could go back to 2013 or 2015, but we don't realize that we're doing the same thing--not appreciating the now. If life is harder now than it was then, it'll only get harder, and one day, we'll reflect on this moment in our lives and wish it could happen all over again, even if it doesn't seem like it.
For real. This is how i felt with SO many games that have come and gone. Thankfully GTA is still kicking and GTA 6 is around the corner. Borderlands and GTA... my childhood franchises that I'll always cherish.
2013 to now: whole different game, different community, different play styles, different world. Quite insane how much the world changes in a decade and how one song just bundles it all together
I was 5 years old when this was released. And I haven't even noticed it has been that long. I got this game when I was about 8 or 9 years old. The Main Menu OST gives me chills and makes me teared up. 2016-2017 was the best years of mine anyways. Sad/Happy at the same time to be 15 and now we're talking about GTA 6. Such a relaxing/sort of sad music I must say
Jesus… I was only 13 years old when GTA V released and you make me feel old haha, that’s insane, but I guess you being 15 now is no more crazy than me being 23 now. I was only just finishing grade 8 when this game released, and now I’m an adult trying to get my life together and make the most of my existence, but in so many ways I still feel like I’m not ready, like I’m still just that 13 year old kid, how quickly everything changed, it’s truly felt like these last 10 years have flown by.
Father time took our childhoods away, but he will never take away our memories. Time is a beautiful, but destructive person. Without time, we cannot exist. Without time, we cannot change. Without time, the world cannot be. Cherish each and every living moment, because you never know when the hand of time will take it all away.
It is okay. We all age and we all are going to die sooner or later. That's kinda shitty, but that's how life goes. It's weird and beautiful at the same time if you think about it.
1. Boot up GTA Online. 2. Make a empty session. 3. Turn on this track. 4. Drive up to your nightclub. 5. Start any mission in there. 6. Expirience "The Ballad Of (Your Character Name Here)"
hits hard when its 4 in the monring and its a cold night and then u hit the pause menu then u lay down and just think about all them good old memories u had.. really hits hard now
Thank you, Rockstar, for the beautiful past. I have not forgotten today. It was in 2017 when I started Grand Online. It was the happiest day of my life. I still play it and delve into it.
man... i was 4 when gta came out. my parents were never strict and didnt believe in censoring me, so i played this game at that age... i honestly miss those days. the days when my parents loved each other, i wasnt homeless, i had no younger sibling to protect from all the trauma... and to think it can all be brought back by a single tune. i truly miss 2013... im 13 now, turning 14 on august 6th. my life sucks now, but at least i have dome amazing memories to cling to. love you rockstar games... even if you only care about money nowadays, you made my childhood so special.
Man I left my job today due to having a altercation with a co worker and life has been so bad these last 6 years I’ve been stuck in a loophole , but I got home just now I am 23 live by myself and put this music on and it reminds me I gotta go hard , I want to be the best version of my self in a few years and be able to listen to this music again and feel some sort of peace within my self and my journey in life ! I gotta stay focused man I gotta stay focused
@@deinkamerad6019 hey and it’s going okay I got a new job been working saving my cash but still so so much to do… thanks for checking up I hope everything’s going good for you and if it’s not remember only we can change our life
Doesn't this music remind us of the key moments in our lives. Everytime I listen to this, I reflect on my past. Who I was, What I've become. Childhood wasn't the easiest for me. I'm 19 now and opening up isn't the easiest thing for me. I miss the authenticity I used to have. I hope I stop doubting myself before 2023 begins!
I feel you man, I have the same thing, my childhood used to be so bright but it all turned to shit in the last couple of years, I’m 16 now and enlisting for the army soon to get away from everything and everyone.
I was 7 when GTA V came out. I used to watch it on YT. I was 13 when I started playing it myself, and yes I know I was a bit too young for that xD. But now that I'm about to turn 17 and everything in life is changing, I realize how nice it was to be a kid... Just no worries... And today? Today we have a pandemic, an inflation, and a fucking war... Listening to this masterpiece is partly exciting but also partly depressing... Listening to it in the evening or at night makes you rethink your whole life, as I am doing right now... (Edit: I think I know Los Santos better than my own city xD)
Same here. I remember my Dad bringing home the PS3 copy of Grand Theft Auto V. I was also seven when it was released. This song does bring at piece. I cannot believe that it has been ten years since the game released, and now we are moving into the Grand Theft Auto 6 era.
@@spoiltmilk he's right. the people that worked in and with rockstar on the whole gta5 project aren't even there anymore. game won't have the same feel, vibe, play, etc. but we all need change so maybe we can adapt to gta6
I think this will be the last time I see the game GTA 5 because the announcement of the game GTA 6 is approaching. I cannot believe that this day will come, goodbye GTA 5
My dad actually introduced me to the game,yes,my dad was a gamer.I remember playing this game on a ps3 while my dad was close surveying.I remember hearing this each time mom or grandma (she was living with us) called us to eat,and this would play close by , I also remember falling asleep to this song,or hearing this each time I paused to call my dad help with a mission,now he’s no longer in my country,he flew away to live in Florida,while I’m still here in Uzbekistan. Man I miss him,even thought it’s only half a year he flew away,it feels like half my life he was absent. (I actually started crying while writing this short comment)
Understandable mate, we all do shed a tear when we fall deep into nostalgia..also, time does passes very fast..and if you don't stop once in a while to observe things..you might actually miss it..
Time flies, and we got older just like Michael, but one day we will do the big one of our lives, , thumbs up for the OG devs of this amazing game, salute!
I remember I was in year 9 when GTA V came out. I played the game and finished it. Then, year 9 went by, year 10 went by, year 11 went by, I sat my GCSES, I got good grades, I got into a good college, learned the trade, started working, got my first proper job in the profession. Earned money, got married, moved out. Now I come full square back to this game. And the crazy thing is how fucking fast that went. Before I knew it, I was messing about, having fun in school to where I’m now. It’s mesmerising how time went so fast.
July 2014 i bought GTA V for the ps3 and loved it. I was 19 going on 20. Then in early 2015 I stopped playing it as i got a ps4. 4 days ago i bought gta 5 for the ps5. I understand you cant get the feeling of playing for the First time but i gotta say its been 9 years i havent played gta V and this is the closes feeling because i forgot so much. I kinda feel blessed to have some sort of fairmiller feeling of playing it like i did 10 years ago. But definitely feel nostoliga for this.
2013, I was 10 years old when this came out. I moved to Australia with no English but as a kid, I always dreamt about playing San Andreas. Dad never let me play GTA but every time I went to my cousins house, I played for hours. When I turned 17, I was finally able to get it. The joy for me to just play a hyper realistic game that embedded intricate details of the real life really gave me a bit of comfort during hard times. I am 20 years old now. I barely touch the console now days. Sometimes weeks go by not one thoughts comes to my head about playing video games. However, every time I need to retreat from an exhausting week, this game allows me to gain some comfort. I can't describe it. I can escape reality for an hour just by playing a reality based game. I find it strange, but I very much adore the feeling I get when I play this game. The feeling has matured for 20 years now. No matter the age, I will still fire up the console whenever I need some comfort. Waiting for the next one. Thank you Rockstar.
yeah man, im of your age and also had to delete all the games from pc and get away from gaming cuz adult life caught me up. Honestly, it is for the better! I All those hours we put into gaming we could have invested intro something else that would move us forward in life. This track symbolises saying GOODBYE to my early careless years and transfroming into a grown up who has responibilites and real goals.
i appreciate this game as an art, whether or not it was intentional, this music to me captures a long gone feeling resonating the early 2010s.. the california map as a whole, los santos international airport, the glass structures and the vehicles, it's almost like a dark nostalgic feeling. it also has a conclusive feeling hinting that 'this was gta.... or this was life....' as moments from the game flash by, everything from the time that pedestrian by the shore asked you for a ride to the airport and the rainy day where you took the los santos subway.. it all comes together as one deep dark nostalgic feeling and as this tune plays
There is no dark nostalgia, gta 5 was a fun game and a beautiful experience in our childhoods, thats why we are reacting nostalgic, and because the music is beautiful and nostalgic, thats why we reacting nostalgic bro.
@@TSU_PIA it's all subjective to personal perception, i don't expect what i feel to align perfectly with anyone else, my nostalgia will be different to yours. so all i am saying, is this is how i truly feel. there is no such thing as a right or wrong here, this is how I feel and how you feel. of course there is nostalgia for the good, happy and all but there are many shades to life, dark nostalgia is commonly explored in various forms of art
I remember how in 2014 when I was 11 my father bought me this legendary game, and I played it for days on end with my brother, sister and friends, until now these emotions when I first launched it... Tangerine Dream really invested soul when creating the musical accompaniment for GTA 5 is the last straw and the last large-scale work of Edgar Froese.
Reading through these comments of peoples memories o playing this game with their buddies really makes me wish to know what it felt like to play this game back in the early days. But sadly I was far too young to play it then.
It was the best feeling u could imagine gta 5 in its prime was everything no game came close to the success of this game all u heard was gta 5 everyone doing rps Easter eggs myths
I wish I could of experienced this game when I was little, my parents never gave me a console because they knew I'd focus more on that than school. Now I have the game, but i'm 17 now and not sure if I can still experience it the same way. this game almost came out 10 years ago, but that's not going to stop me from playing it
Dude I have a question to all those childhood moments u lived so far, Did you actually knew it was moments that will later be memories, i bet no you lived them for your own present, Moments and memories dont come, we are the ones who look for them, Play the game now, later you will have memories with it, i will not give examples till u get it yourself buddy
Don't be dumb, I was nearly 30 when this released and don't feel any different about it now then I did then. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN 7 YEARS OLD!!! PROPS TO YOUR PARENTS FOR HAVING BALLS AND MORALS! My son is 8 and I cannot imagine corrupting his little mind with this bullshit, and gaddamn I hope you feel the same way when you are my age!! Sex, Prostitutes, drugs, heists and murder only make a good adult game.
Imma just say it…… I’m truly and surely imma miss this game and it won’t be the same anymore when gta 6 comes outs gta 5 will still be my top games that I played 🙌🏼
I remember having no car and having to bike it to the nearest Gamestop. Waited in line outside while hearing ppl talk about what they are going to do in-game. So stoked when they gave out a poster along w the game. The ride back home on the bike was a blast!
I first played this game at ten years old, I remember going into the mall in my hometown then passing by the front of GameStop when I asked for the game, my mom said no then ended up buying it for me, to this day I don’t know why but I thank her for giving in that day because I’m 17 now and it’s crazy to say how much this game means and still means to me today, almost 10 years later
im 26 and this game hit PC at the prime of my life, even though i am nostalgic about way older games, gta 5 will always be the most fascinating one of the series and cruising down the street while LADY HEAR ME TONIGHT blasts will forever be a core memory
It's so strange. I never even heard of GTA V until Epic Games gave the game out for free, which I have played through the story line through and through, and just the sheer amount of life there is in the game... and from all of the nostalgia I have read from people who played this in the past... I wonder what this phenomenon is called regarding games with such soul and character?
When you give it a go with the online mode once you finish the story mode, Dont give a fuck about opressors, modders, griefers, bring or find some friends there, and it gon be lit.

@Nabil Turki somos dois amigão
U gotta admit that Gta 5 Online on ps3/xbox 360 days was literally the best thing on Earth
The same vibe, amazing
You just gotta love how every GTA game has its own unique soul/vibe. From the pink skies of 80s Miami to the warm glow of LA
That’s what gta is really about. The atmosphere of each location and the characters within them.
And the satire of course
To the moody and dark almost apocalyptic city of Liberty City
Not warm anymore thanks to the new streetlights being borderline blue
@Veradux nah don’t actually say you think that gta online is the best multiplayer game. Without shark cards or a friend group always playing the game is boring as hell

"I love this because it's like behind all the satire and parody that GTA V reflects there is a more hopeless, dark reality that surrounds the story."
I think I can try making a better one: “When you pause and hear this soundtrack going off, this illuminates the darkness and corruption humans use in there power to make it big”
A comment I saw made a very accurate assessment when they said that this piece really captures the true sadness behind the story of GTA V.
When you look beyond all of the humor, the parody, the absurdity, and the over the top presentation of it, it really is a tragic story about the broken people living in a broken society.

im 21 and i woke up to gta iv's pause menu ost playing on saturday mornings back 11-14 years ago, then also gta v's
Ballade of gay tony music takes me back i was living in a different country with no wifi haven’t experienced internet much. Only thing i had was the menu music when i fell asleep hahahaha crazy times.

TBOGT's pause music is an instant classic.
TBOGT's pause music Is legendary.. I miss those times.
It's very rare how a simple soundtrack can make us feel things we haven't felt in a while, it's like a time machine
Nah, this track isn't simple at all. Sounds sophisticated as shit with all the chords and layers.
Nothing can match GTA 5 online like 2013 did. No dlcs, no futuristic stuff, and everyone started out a low level (unless u hacked). The way people interacted, made money, hung out, I mean everything. It was awesome and in that time, GTA really did succeed in being the best Open world game ever.
We had fun here...
dude I love your pfp , so much nostalgia........
We did…..but it’s over
How did that happen?
U don’t miss your childhood u just miss being happy
It's only looking back by comparison with what comes after that you really understand, that's what happiness felt like.

I know those times are not gonna come back but i'm glad it happened. Yes, gentlemen. It happened.

This was the biggest game in the world when it released back then… I was only 11 years old, and I remember being as excited as everyone else here in the comments. I couldn’t get it for a little bit but eventually I got it when I was 12. The world of Grand Theft Auto V was amazing. I had an unimaginable amount of fun playing it as a curious and energetic kid. Me and my friends played online together, had fun with races, missions, role playing. As the years went on, we all continued playing, but the.. magic of GTA V was slowly fading, and before we knew it we were all on the verge of adulthood… we played a few more times, and suddenly one day.. we all stopped playing together. Yes, we keep in contact but.. we’re all now adults, with jobs, and futures. Every single one of us wishes we could go back in time to the days of playing old games like this, and not caring about making it to a job the next morning, or paying bills…
But the memories.. they’re still pure.. and will last forever in our hearts.
Hopefully one day when GTA 6 comes out we can all manage to sit down and play again.. like old times.
I was 17 when this released and it’s crazy to think that even then just like we are now I was looking back ten years and thinking wow it’s been so long since all these games I grew up with released like gta vice city and San Andreas, ratchet and clank, jak and daxter, need for speed, atv off road fury, ssx tricky, crash bandicoot all these games I grew up with in the early 2000s are now over 20 years old… and this one will be eventually too and we’ll be looking back almost a decade on gta 6 and the cycle repeats

god, i remember playing GTA V for countless hours with my friends on the 360. we played for years up until late 2018, one of our friends didn't want to spend any money on the xbox one, i added the other two but one of them just stopped playing and never got back on, and the other one i never speak to anymore. and a good portion of my other xbox friends just stopped playing on the 360, never going back online, their avatar still asleep, never to be awoken again. i speak to none of them anymore, and there were eight of us that were real close, and others that we only occasionally played with. i hope that all of them are doing amazing in life, as it's very likely i will never speak to them again
I had 14 close friends now i have none
Same, i'll never forget them.
2023-2024: damn, I'm tired of this GTA5
2025: I'll miss you
As you listen , a feeling of longing or nostalgia awakens within you , and in that , your childhood memories are also emerging little by little , of people you already talked to and nowadays no longer speak to each other , of funny moments , in the times when you were happy and played GTA V for the first time, when nothing mattered but this game... time passes and we realize that nothing will be like before, this song also gives me the feeling that the happy side of life it's just an illusion, we're all going the same way... just from different perspectives... I miss this game and that magnificent soundtrack.
Stop man. The part about friends got me there. I had a load of friends years ago and we played this together. Sadly, GTA can be toxic if you're not careful and we all split up many years ago. I still miss them sometimes and wonder what they're doing nowadays.....
This is exactly what i wanted to say about this song.
With a game so closely tied to Los Angeles I feel like this music provides an amazing dramatic contrast to the gameplay… reflecting on the crazy chaos of the city and that there are so many people there just trying to live their life and make it through.
Reminds me so well of the movie HEAT
@@SwissMarksman NEVER even thought of that!!! Perfect movie. Perfect game. Perfect comparison
And fun fact: much of the details from the robberies in the game, were directly inspired from the movie Heat. So this comparison does make total sense

10 years later I still have gta 5 on my Xbox one S, but it doesn’t feel the same anymore

I have met my girlfriend 5 years ago. She was the sweetest person I've ever seen and what I most liked about her was how she included me in every little moment: basic shares, music, making food and especially playing video games. We decided to get GTA V because it would be cool to be in a "partners in crime" situation, what we didn't predict is that we would so much fun making heist strategies and theorize about its mysteries like the jetpack and big foot kind of thing. One day, she got a strong headache, she said it was fine and It was probably due to stress or something but 3 or 4 hours later she had a seizure and passed away at the hospital. I'm not going into details. This week I've opened GTA V again but now on story mode, I couldn't do it. I couldn't play it without crying I couldn't stop remembering about her. So I paused the game, staring blankly to the wall for 30 minutes or so. I love GTA V and I also love her, these exact reasons prevents me to open that game again. Thank you my love I just wish I could see you again.
Sad to hear that man, and i’m sorry for your loss. You’ll meet again someday, maybe not in this world but you’ll meet again.
Damn that’s deep I’m sorry 🙏🏾
This game was my life from 2013-2016~ I loved it so much but unfortunately everyone I used to play with stopped playing it. I had a group of 10+ people and they all stopped. RIP
my dad took me to the midnight release, i got a day off school as a birthday gift so i could play it. Thanks dad, love you buddy.
I just love how everyone are nostalgic of this game but in our own ways. For me I will always remember the midnight release and sitting in the car ride home with my copy. For two years I had to wait. I followed every news source there ever was. All the hours I spent on forums, chats and youtube videos. Debunking screenshots, coming up with speculations and watching trailers literally frame by frame trying to see details or something interesting. I was totally engrossed between 2011-2013. And when I finally had my copy I just stared at it. Couldn't believe it was in my fucking hands.
Gta isnt only a game but a whole Nostalgia and the best experience ive seen in my life back in the days it was so fun.. untill the world has become depressed..
I just miss the fun i had😭

Many people talk about how much they wish they could go back to 2013 or 2015, but we don't realize that we're doing the same thing--not appreciating the now. If life is harder now than it was then, it'll only get harder, and one day, we'll reflect on this moment in our lives and wish it could happen all over again, even if it doesn't seem like it.

I was 5 years old when this was released. And I haven't even noticed it has been that long. I got this game when I was about 8 or 9 years old.

I remember I was in year 9 when GTA V came out. I played the game and finished it. Then, year 9 went by, year 10 went by, year 11 went by, I sat my GCSES, I got good grades, I got into a good college, learned the trade, started working, got my first proper job in the profession. Earned money, got married, moved out. Now I come full square back to this game. And the crazy thing is how fucking fast that went. Before I knew it, I was messing about, having fun in school to where I’m now. It’s mesmerising how time went so fast.

July 2014 i bought GTA V for the ps3 and loved it. I was 19 going on 20. Then in early 2015 I stopped playing it as i got a ps4. 4 days ago i bought gta 5 for the ps5. I understand you cant get the feeling of playing for the First time but i gotta say its been 9 years i havent played gta V and this is the closes feeling because i forgot so much. I kinda feel blessed to have some sort of fairmiller feeling of playing it like i did 10 years ago. But definitely feel nostoliga for this.

Спасибо Рокстар за всё! Эта игра помогла мне переступить самые тяжёлые этапы моей жизни, и сейчас помогает...
this is the definition of underrated, I love stuff like this keep doing what you're doing man.
2013, I was 10 years old when this came out. I moved to Australia with no English but as a kid, I always dreamt about playing San Andreas. Dad never let me play GTA but every time I went to my cousins house, I played for hours. When I turned 17, I was finally able to get it. The joy for me to just play a hyper realistic game that embedded intricate details of the real life really gave me a bit of comfort during hard times. I am 20 years old now.
I barely touch the console now days. Sometimes weeks go by not one thoughts comes to my head about playing video games. However, every time I need to retreat from an exhausting week, this game allows me to gain some comfort. I can't describe it. I can escape reality for an hour just by playing a reality based game. I find it strange, but I very much adore the feeling I get when I play this game. The feeling has matured for 20 years now. No matter the age, I will still fire up the console whenever I need some comfort. Waiting for the next one.
Thank you Rockstar.
yeah man, im of your age and also had to delete all the games from pc and get away from gaming cuz adult life caught me up. Honestly, it is for the better!

See u gta5 the game of my childhood😢😔
i appreciate this game as an art, whether or not it was intentional, this music to me captures a long gone feeling resonating the early 2010s.. the california map as a whole, los santos international airport, the glass structures and the vehicles, it's almost like a dark nostalgic feeling. it also has a conclusive feeling hinting that 'this was gta.... or this was life....' as moments from the game flash by, everything from the time that pedestrian by the shore asked you for a ride to the airport and the rainy day where you took the los santos subway.. it all comes together as one deep dark nostalgic feeling and as this tune plays
There is no dark nostalgia, gta 5 was a fun game and a beautiful experience in our childhoods, thats why we are reacting nostalgic, and because the music is beautiful and nostalgic, thats why we reacting nostalgic bro.
Everything in your life what was fun/freedom/beautiful from the past, will give you nostalgia.
@@TSU_PIA it's all subjective to personal perception, i don't expect what i feel to align perfectly with anyone else, my nostalgia will be different to yours. so all i am saying, is this is how i truly feel. there is no such thing as a right or wrong here, this is how I feel and how you feel. of course there is nostalgia for the good, happy and all but there are many shades to life, dark nostalgia is commonly explored in various forms of art
I remember how in 2014 when I was 11 my father bought me this legendary game, and I played it for days on end with my brother, sister and friends, until now these emotions when I first launched it... Tangerine Dream really invested soul when creating the musical accompaniment for GTA 5 is the last straw and the last large-scale work of Edgar Froese.
Reading through these comments of peoples memories o playing this game with their buddies really makes me wish to know what it felt like to play this game back in the early days. But sadly I was far too young to play it then.
It was the best feeling u could imagine gta 5 in its prime was everything no game came close to the success of this game all u heard was gta 5 everyone doing rps Easter eggs myths
I wish I could of experienced this game when I was little, my parents never gave me a console because they knew I'd focus more on that than school. Now I have the game, but i'm 17 now and not sure if I can still experience it the same way. this game almost came out 10 years ago, but that's not going to stop me from playing it
sorry to say it but no, you’ll not experience the same hype, but wait for gya 6 and play that from day one!
Dude I have a question to all those childhood moments u lived so far, Did you actually knew it was moments that will later be memories, i bet no you lived them for your own present, Moments and memories dont come, we are the ones who look for them, Play the game now, later you will have memories with it, i will not give examples till u get it yourself buddy
Don't be dumb, I was nearly 30 when this released and don't feel any different about it now then I did then. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN 7 YEARS OLD!!! PROPS TO YOUR PARENTS FOR HAVING BALLS AND MORALS! My son is 8 and I cannot imagine corrupting his little mind with this bullshit, and gaddamn I hope you feel the same way when you are my age!! Sex, Prostitutes, drugs, heists and murder only make a good adult game.
Ill miss this song... GTA VI trailer just got out
Imma just say it…… I’m truly and surely imma miss this game and it won’t be the same anymore when gta 6 comes outs gta 5 will still be my top games that I played 🙌🏼
I remember having no car and having to bike it to the nearest Gamestop. Waited in line outside while hearing ppl talk about what they are going to do in-game. So stoked when they gave out a poster along w the game. The ride back home on the bike was a blast!
I first played this game at ten years old, I remember going into the mall in my hometown then passing by the front of GameStop when I asked for the game, my mom said no then ended up buying it for me, to this day I don’t know why but I thank her for giving in that day because I’m 17 now and it’s crazy to say how much this game means and still means to me today, almost 10 years later
Something tells me THIS was the original version Rockstar was going to use...
im 26 and this game hit PC at the prime of my life, even though i am nostalgic about way older games, gta 5 will always be the most fascinating one of the series and cruising down the street while LADY HEAR ME TONIGHT blasts will forever be a core memory
It's so strange. I never even heard of GTA V until Epic Games gave the game out for free, which I have played through the story line through and through, and just the sheer amount of life there is in the game... and from all of the nostalgia I have read from people who played this in the past... I wonder what this phenomenon is called regarding games with such soul and character?
When you give it a go with the online mode once you finish the story mode, Dont give a fuck about opressors, modders, griefers, bring or find some friends there, and it gon be lit.
@@ReD_13Official I heard of them thanks to social media and word of mouth, not sure if I will start ever since I'm not the best with planes or shooting XD
@@emberhunter8872 Whatever happens there, dont let them get into your head, we all gon make it king o7
mate.. you were either born after 2013, too young or just never played videogames... everyone played gta 5
@@jenniferb.9241 Nah I come from a poor family so I never bought any games until recently, but I did get GTA V for free
