How GTA Became The Dragonforce Of Gaming

Of course, not all pre-heist missions are as mind-numbing as this one. There are some pretty decent ones that do contribute in building some hype up for this mission. Sometimes though, just like the last two entries on this list, there are missions that fail to do so even if they don't involve going to a store and buying stupid st


There are plenty of things you can do in GTA V that might throw people off. Rampaging is pretty common if you have nothing better to do and while it’s just mindless carnage, it can still be pretty fun. But one of the most common acts of violence in the entire series happens too often as a simple traffic accident. The driving controls in GTA V are great, but that doesn’t make you a master driver. More often than not, if you’re going really fast, you’re going to hit something. It often ends up being innocent pedestrians, crossing the street just as you’re gunning it – completely ignoring the red light. It may sometimes be intentional, but more often than not these end up being genuine accide


The online multiplayer, meanwhile, is what has kept Grand Theft Auto 5 going to this day, four years after its initial launch. Grand Theft Auto 5 's online multiplayer gives players the chance to create their own characters, purchase their own apartmenst and cars, and wreak mayhem with friends online. Supported by a number of game modes that continue to grow in number with each update, Grand Theft Auto 5 's online is the blueprint other open world multiplayer games should fol


Yep, just like the previous entry on this list, Masks is another pre-heist mission where you need to — you guessed it — buy masks. For some reason, Rockstar decided to include this as a full mission, and just like Boiler Suits you also have the opportunity to get gold in this mission as well... because being a completionist is probably the most boring thing e


Almost any Grand Theft Auto game since the third one could have made it on this list, but we decided to include Grand Theft Auto 5 as it is the most fully-featured GTA to-date. The single player experience is a riveting one, letting players bounce between three complex and interesting characters as they explore the sprawling city of Los Santos and the highly detailed surrounding countrys

Rockstar’s mentality of "bigger is better" is what is making Grand Theft Auto less interesting of a series than it should be. For such a maverick of a series, one that broke ground for gamers, critics and politicians alike, it sure hasn’t been as ambitious as its peers these days. While Skyrim was displaying a smart array of carefully placed activities and Saints Row was slowly chipping away that obnoxious padding between missions, Grand Theft Auto was just putting on more and more unneeded pounds. I like the idea of big games with lots of stuff to do, but simply making a game bigger and smugly putting down your competitors for their "lack of ambition" isn’t a good way to evolve your series, especially when your game is big and empty enough that you need to include yoga as a legitimate side mission.


Gamers can't seem to get enough of exploring the vast worlds provided by open world games, as evidenced by the success of recent open world games like Horizon: Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . Looking to the future, there are plenty of other open world games on the horizon that are brimming with potential, such as Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 . As it stands, there seems to be no end in sight for the open world genre, and we're not complain


Grand Theft Auto V made a lot of improvements to the series' driving mechanics, adding various little nuances and details that lead to arguably the most fun one could have while driving in a video game (except for the racing titles... obviously). But there's a limit to how much one can enjoy driving certain vehicles, and Pulling Favors is one example that exposes these shortcomi


"Aside from a few mild frame rate issues that sometimes take the edge off its more dramatic moments, this is the definitive version of GTA V, and the bar by which all other open-world games, or indeed any game that aims for a cinematic feel, should be judged. It is beautiful, and thought-provoking, and thrilling throughout. Even if you've played through GTA V once already, it's worth going back just to be reminded of what an outstanding achievement it


As anticipated as GTA V was, the hype gradually subsided once the game finally dropped and fans were more than content while playing through its campaign. But Rockstar upped the ante with the announcement of GTA Mission nostalgia V Online as it promised players four person heists with friends. People were really looking forward to it, but even when Online was made available on launch day people had to wait a little longer for heists to make their way into the fold. That isn’t the only disappointment fans had to deal with though, as —for a period of time— Online itself was just a busted mess. It was incredibly difficult to get into a session, and most players had to wait days before actually getting in. Some of those that did get in even lost their characters and had to start o
