Hey! I'd love to enter for GTA V!

Now the main reason i want it is because its a huge improvement on as series i absolutely love. I started playing Grand Theft Auto games when i was about nine and it all started with GTA II. I had to beg my parents for weeks to get me this game and to be honest, i was sort of dissapointed when i actually got it. The commercial for GTA II showed these great car chases and explosions and all i got when i bought the game was this shitty top-down perspective game. However, do to my family being kind of poor at the time, i ended up putting hundreds of hours into the game because it was one of the few that i had. While i never loved it, i appreciated the huge variety of weapons and the freedom to explore the map as i choose.
My next GTA game was Vice City and this is the game that truly got my hooked onto the GTA series. Vice City was an absolute master piece for its time. The music, the story line, the protagonist, everything! There was just so much to do and so much to see, it was overall just an amazing experience and this time in 3 FUCKING D! No more of that top-down bullshit, you could actually distinguish between characters and see yourself in the car, it was amazing. And shit, that open world was massive for its time, the city looked absolutely gorgeous. Vice City is what truly got me into the GTA franchise.
After Vice City, i played through most of the GTA games, San Andres, Chinatown wars and GTA 4. Out of all of them, my absolute favorite is San Andres, which i've probably dropped over 300 hours onto on my PS2.
Overall, I would freaking love to win GTA V because its taking a series i love and bringing it to the absolute next level. From the graphics to the weapons and vehichles, GTA V stepped up completely from GTA IV. Not only that but GTA V is set in the same map as my favorite game, San Andres. I would love to be able to explore a graphically improved version of Los Santos. Seeing Grove Street and the area around it graphically redone would blow my mind.
Out of all the improvements in GTA V, the one that i would say makes me the most excited for this game is the increased amounts of npc - player interaction. GTA V's Los Santos is full of people who react to your actions in unique ways, while they don't always react realistically, they interact with the player in a way that no other game has done. After playing games like Batman Arkham Origins and The Amazing Spiderman 2 were your set in this huge city that feels empty from the lack of player to computer interaction, GTA V is an utter breathe of fresh air.
I would truly love to buy this game myself, its a game were i know im getting my 60$ worth of gameplay but as of now, im extremely strapped for cash. As of now, most of my part time job and work study go to paying my med school debt that is accumulating. I have also recently spent the remainder of my savings building me and my nephew gaming computers. I recently gifted him one for his birthday and decided that i should splurge a little and so i decided to make one myself. I was able to make both of them for pretty cheap by buying used parts and using old parts from friends but it still ended up being about 600$ dollars for both of the computers, which basically wiped out most of my savings.
Overall, thanks for the giveaway! I've been a huge fan of the GTA series my whole life (well for most of it, 16/24 years atleast) and it would mean the world to me if i was able to get GTA V on steam. With my recently built gaming computer now is a better time than ever before to play this game!
Oh and here is a funny video! My colleague at a hospital i volunteer at just showed me this and i laughed my ass off! Video
Sorry if the formatting is off, i wrote this on the bus on my tablet. I really wanted to enter before the 12 hr deadline and didn't want to wait before i got home from volunteering.
