Kind of, yes...!
There are 3 main segments to GTA5: Missions, Online, and Free Play.
With Missions, you have to accomplish a mission such as robbing a bank. You "hire" a few others, shoot your way through, escape, etc. Some missions require you to shoot someone, etc.
In all modes, you rob cars by any means necessary. Most of the time you just go out into the road then rip the driver out of their car and steal it. Sometimes its easy, other times they fight back. Sometimes they have guns, sometimes you rob a car in the wrong location and gangs come after you.
Besides cars, there are trucks, boats, jetskis, planes, helicopters, even military craft like tanks.
There are something like 20 different radio stations playing all forms of music and talk radio, all of them hilarious. NPC's react to you when you drive to fast, wear bad clothes, talk to them or get in their face. Some NPC's server real purposes, some do not.
Time flows. The sun rises and sets, and so does the moon. Weather changes from sunny to overcase to rainy to stormy. Storms affect driving conditions and especially flying.
There are secrets to discover which are not part of the main game. There are pieces of machinery, notes, cryptic messages on walls, weird sounds on the radio, ghosts, UFO's and even a sasquatch. None of these are a part of the game, and yet they are there.
There are at least 2 different cults. One of the cults pays you money to kidnap hitchikers. You can talk to people on your cellphone for missions and clues. You can bang girlfriends and hookers in your car or at their place. There are bars, pubs and even strip clubs with CG nudity. Yup!
There are tons of cars ranging from Jeeps to sportscars to Semi trucks and each one has different properties. Some are faster and handle better, some are heavier and handle terribly. Car crashes are realistic and cause real damage. Ragdoll physics makes running people over alot of fun.
There is a crazy amount of weapons of course: Knives, bottles, billy clubs, small guns, big guns, shot guns, machine guns, rocket launchers.... it just goes on and on.
Finally the game is insanely funny. There are jokes spread throughout the game on signs, on the radio, and even in TV shows and movies that you can watch. Every character inclluding the NPCs are well crafted. The amount of thought and detail in GTA5 just blows me away - and this is a fucking 10-year old game now..!
I am really looking forward to GTA6.
