For me, 5 minutes with the controller and I made it well past my previous progress, and had much more fun with it. You can use the keyboard, but I found it uncomfortable and hindering, others prefer it, from what I understand.

(HOTAS X Flight stick not a good match) I did have to change some settings on the controller page, most important the aiming, There's a automatic aiming which you'll want to turn on, otherwise it's VERY touchy, as steering the vehicles (for which I've found no way around). I received my x-box style controller and that helped a lot. It took me a couple days to get through the prologue, which unlocks the rest of the game, and many functions. Great, so far! While I can't comment much on the storyline at this point, The play is challenging, especially the shooting and driving, bearing in mind, I've only flown flight sims (X-Plane & Realflight 7.5) in the past few years, so I'm rather a newbie. You DO need a fairly modern machine, but it doesn't need to be a $300 0 gamer to allow you to enjoy the game. I tell you this because many people don't know how it will run on their computer and I hope this will give them an additional reference. My compliments to the artists and engineers Rockstar. You can see underwater objects in real detail. The video is amazing, every wave, cloud, fur on animals is just incredible. I recently installed an R7 250 2gb video card(crossfired with the APU), which nets about 80fps with the settings all at max.

It runs the benchmark video on GTA 5 35 FPS (stock settings). I'm running it on a home built AMD Kaveri with 8gb memory-both overclocked to the max (4.5ghz & 2400mhz) and Samsung solid state drives. I've recently gotten back into video games, and it's incredible how far they've come.
