Grand Theft Auto V: 15 Characters Who Are Savage AF

Grand Theft Auto is now the Dragonforce of gaming, a series where "more, more, MORE!" is the mantra, slowly wasting away the substance and precision the series had achieved on Playstation 2. Rockstar, please think about what you’re doing before the inevitable GTA VI is released.


Look. Video games are amazing and an important part of my life. That said video games are also really dumb. Ludonarrative dissonance is a popular term when it comes to criticizing a game. It basically boils down to a disconnection between a game’s narrative and the gameplay. For example, let’s say you’re a protagonist trapped in a yard surrounded by a chained fence and a locked door. In reality, one could simply climb that fence, but because that gameplay mechanic is not implemented for players, they have to find a key or device to open it. It can be frustrating, but games cannot adhere to the laws governed by our reality. If someone could create an experience like that where anything is possible, but also follow simple principles like not being able to heal several shotgun blasts to the chest via an herb would be a wondrous stroke of programming genius, but not necessarily


Now as dramatic as I made that out to be, this is supposed to be a hilarious take on video game logic memes. Granted I may come across grumpier, or more agitated rather than lighthearted, but know I’m coming from a place of love with these entries. Again, I love video games and even though these memes bring up a good point in contradicting logic, I wouldn’t give up gameplay just to make the world make more sense. That would detract from what actually makes video games the greatest medium out there. Anyway, before you read on know that some of these entries contain SPOILERS . Other than that en

I find GTA V ’s issues especially interesting because Saints Row IV released barely a month before it and Saints Row IV succeeded in every aspect that GTA V failed. Fast, exciting transportation? Check. Lots of missions that are close enough together to reach? Check. Varied challenges that offer inherent value to improve your character? Check. 1255 clusters in town to improve your skills, carefully placed to catch your eye. Lots of wacky and entertaining missions that use the game mechanics in smart ways. Unique topography to keep missions engaging on a design perspective. All of these things made Saints Row IV a prime example of open-world gaming that not once felt like padding or busy work.

We'll get to Michael De Santa later, but for now, we decided to choose one of his family members. Overall, the entire group including Michael, Amanda, Jimmy, and Tracey are an absolute mess of a family. Amanda and Michael are constantly at each other's throats, the kids are miserable and Tracey is basically in the process of becoming an adult film star during the events of the game. Jimmy is on another level though, and is the kind of pathetic savagery with which we as gamers are famil


Here's a side activity that caters to the needs of those people who actually like mashing the X/A button for a stupidly long amount of time. The Triathlons in Grand Theft Auto V are probably one of the most mind-numbingly boring tasks in the entire game, Hogwarts Legacy Mods where you need to run, swim and cycle your way to finish line in a multi-stage marathon that should be awesome but isn't in the slight

Located directly under the bridge, you will find an alien encased in the frozen river. You will need to be extra quick though, as checking out this easter egg will mean you fail the mission – but let's be honest, it's completely worth it. If you want to check out the alien up close, you will only have approximately five to six seconds to get a good look before the mission will fail– for longer viewing, simply stay closer to the road.


Drawing inspiration not from Fallout 3 , but the games which preceded it (with many of the team having worked on the cancelled Fallout 3 from Black Isle), any doubts of Obsidian being up to the task ended with the 'Old World Blues' DLC . Sending players into 'The Big Empty,' the campaign was one massive homage to retro science fiction of the 1950s. The allusions always existed on the fringes of Fallout , but 'Old World Blues' put them center st


These games have all been enjoyable in the most video gamey ways possible, with big set pieces accompanied by fast paced action and plenty of gore. However, one thing I can't stand is Kratos. There's not enough time for me to air all my grievances, but let's start with his undying love for his wife. It, and the loss of his daughter, fuels his rage. He’ll do anything to avenge their souls. However, he's not above sleeping with random women in every game. Kratos, you've got some terrible marriage issues bud, the least of which is that your wife and child's are dead while you do the dirty deed with these prostitutes. True, his wife is dead, so he's allowed to explore other women by now, but if he does then he has no claim to his rage. Look in the mirror Kratos because you're the real vill
