Review: Grand Theft Auto V PS4

Of course, one of the aspects this series is most renowned for is its music. Vice City sparked a minor resurgence in New Wave, while Grand Theft Auto IV perfectly captured the burgeoning indie scene in Brooklyn at the time. Building off of the presentation and quality of the latter’s soundtrack, V boasts one of the series’ best collections of music. For indie lovers, Radio Broker is replaced by Radio Mirror Park, which features tracks from Twin Shadow, Yeasayer, Health, Neon Indian, The Chain Gang of 1974 and more. The incredible thing is that all of the aforementioned artists are contributing new music to the game and the fact that there’s so many critically revered artists with new music on one channel is astounding. For electronic lovers, there’s Soulwax FM, named after and featuring many remixes from electronic band Soulwax. On the pop side of things, there’s Non-Stop Pop FM which features an excellent blend between current top ten artists like Rhianna, lesser-known ones like Robyn and classic acts like Hall & Oats. Of course, there’s something for everyone with other stations focusing on rap, country, classic rock and more. The amount of care put into curating this soundtrack that could have simply been a collection of random songs is more evidence of how much work goes into even the smallest features of the game.


Rockstar Games has made a habit of impressing with their DLC (more on that later), but Red Dead Redemption 's best add-on was as shocking as it was impressive. After earning numerous near-perfect scores for its mature story, hero, ps Plus November 2024 and strong Western style, Rockstar announced the 'Undead Nightmare' DLC . Lawmen were no longer the threat facing John Marston, but a zombie plague spreading across the front

It's hard to believe there was a world without Grand Theft Auto V. Released in September 2013, GTAV broke practically every sales record and was lauded in almost every circle. While it debuted just months before the next generations of consoles, it didn't seem long in the tooth. Rockstar pushed the limits of nearly decade old hardware and delivered the largest entry in the series yet, both by size and sheer things to do. GTAV is a game where a hundred hours could easily be dropped into it without completing a single mission. Forever changing the landscape of video games, there's little doubt GTAV will go down as a classic. Rockstar, however, wants to preserve it in the best light so has decided to re-release the game on current-gen consoles in 1080p. Not content to release a simple port, though, Rockstar has changed the perspective we view the game -- literally.

I’m worried that the same sense of loss immersion during my demo of XING will be applied to Grand Theft Auto, or other violent games released in the future, by the mainstream press, who already have a history of blowing video game violence out of proportion. GTA V on Oculus Rift won't make any person more violent, and it definitely won’t cause any deaths, but it does make the act of playing a violent game a lot harder to defend. All it would take is a 30 minute demo to a news outlet for a video with a headline like, "What Murder Simulator Are You Allowing Your Kids to Play," to be spread through the internet just like any of the other unsupported claims made by unsavory news outlets.


The Altruist Cult actually has very little impact on the game. There is an option, when playing as Trevor, to bring random event characters to the Altruists' hideout in the mountains. It is heavily implied that this cult isn't interested in new recruits to their cause, but rather kill these people and cannibalize them. Plenty of murder takes place in this franchise, but at the end of the day, there is something next-level-savage about eating other humans. The Altruists are a bunch of truly sick puppies to be paying people to bring them victims for their fea


Chain reactions: they're absolutely everywhere, from mediocre mid-90s action flicks, to upbeat Diana Ross pop hits, these cascading dominoes of destruction even make their way into the occasional video game-or-three. The latest title to take advantage of this gunpowder-trail plaything is none other than resident fire-starter **Grand Theft Auto V


Beginning with Grand Theft Auto IV 's 'The Lost and Damned' DLC, players weren't quite sure what Rockstar Games was up to with its spinoff content. A separate story following Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang The Lost, the DLC was a test of the feasibility of digital-only releases. But what players got was a Grand Theft Auto experience in a condensed form, without sacrificing any qual


Speaking of Geralt, let’s talk about some RPG tropes. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn’t the only one guilty of this, but it’s my most recent example. Okay, so you’re tasked with finding your adopted daughter of sorts, Ciri, before an evil force finds her. Throughout the game, this sentiment is blasted into Geralt’s head repeatedly as an urgent mission where a second lost could prove fatal for Ciri. With that being said, you can mess around for countless hours doing remedial tasks like hunting monsters, playing cards, or locating a crazy old woman’s pot. It’s an open world RPG, so there needs to be stuff to do in order to expand the gameplay and I’m fine with that. Perhaps don’t patronize the player for taking their time though. It’s disheartening, although I’d rather feel bad than having a time limit implemented like in Dead Risi
