User blog comment:Istalo/GTA V Game of the Year/@comment-22427681-20131208174627

Absolutely deserved in my opinion, it is clearly the best game of the year alongside with The Last of Us. The detail in the map is great, the police has been improved for me, the missions are long and varied in general, there are LOTS of things to do after completing the main storyline (minigames, collectibles, strangers and freaks, property missions...), etc. Also, I'm the type of player that enjoys exploring the map and discovering all the places, and in this aspect I think GTA V's map is the best in the GTA series, especially Los Santos. Thomas, I don't agree about the city being small! It is huge, and about the same size as Liberty City. It's just that there's a lot of countryside, but try going from Northern Vinewood Hills to the Airport in normal speed, the city is BIG.

Some things I don't like: Franklin's character and story is underdeveloped, another bigger city apart from LS (San Diego, Sacramento, San Francisco...) would have been cool, and not many interiors, although I'm not that bothered for that as other people is, and I'm sure more interiors will be added eventually, like the Pacific Standard Bank.
