The WORST Missions In Grand Theft Auto V That Shame The Series

It's easy to become jaded when publishers look to cash in on a single game not once, but twice. So it's good news for all that Rockstar seems to have truly invested in making their next-gen remaster a worthy experience. It will be interesting to see how the addition of First-Person goes over with audiences - and judging by the reception, how central it may be to the next Grand Theft Auto g


In the crew’s quarters there is also a game of chess displayed on the computer monitor, with a bottle next to it. This is a reference to a scene in The Thing where Macready, played by Kurt Russell, loses virtual chess to the computer and pours whiskey into its disk dr


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


And yet, that's exactly what 'Did Somebody Say Yoga?' is — a mission where you do some insanely stupid quick time events with Michael that requires near-precise analog control. One can argue that this is a mission that essentially parodies the usage of quicktime events in gaming, but after a point this mission becomes a parody of itself. Thankfully, there's a (slightly) more interesting part where you get to experience a drug-induced trip through Michael's eyes before he wakes up to his entire family leaving

The world of Grand Theft Auto V is the biggest ever. Although some were concerned when the City-First Game Design map was recently leaked (which has turned out to be accurate) due to the fact that the majority of it was rural, know that it’s not that they’ve taken away from the city, but simply added hundreds of miles of land outside it just for good fun. The city itself is huge and rivals the entire world of GTA IV. Outside of it, there’s mountains, rivers, beaches, desert and more. Surprisingly, however, hardly any of it is empty. There’s small towns, unique buildings, military bases and more sprinkled throughout. The incredible thing is how alive it all seems. Off one of the back roads, for instance, I noticed a car pull over at a fruit stand and decided to see if it was a coincidence, but nope -- a woman got out, walked up to it and examined the produce. That’s level of detail to expect in the world, from the boardwalks with interactive rides to trains carving through mountain passes. To add some spice for players who like to drive around exploring the world, random events have been added that unfold during a day. Represented by a flashing blue blip on the map that appears when nearby, these range from a thief snatching a purse to a carjacking. After stopping the miscreant in one of these robberies, you can either keep the stolen item for yourself or return it to the victim. Doing the latter results in good karma that might just come back to you later in the game.

Red Dead Redemption takes everything people love about western movies and blends it with Grand Theft Auto -style gameplay and storytelling. Red Dead Redemption delivers a compelling open world populated by a cast of unforgettable characters, and is punctuated by one of the best endings in gaming history . Considering how Rockstar hit it out of the park with its first attempt at an open world western, expectations are high for the followup, Red Dead Redemption 2 , which is expected to release in fall of 2


"It's not so much in the character models that the metamorphosis is incredible, but more in the environments, richer, more detailed, more dense, and more natural, which has the effect of making the ecosystem and universe of Los Santos more credible. It suffices to get lost in the hills of Vinewood or the side of Sandy Shores to see how the game has grown in stature... This is unheard of. Real


Quite a few of these open world games have received widespread critical acclaim, standing as some of the highest-rated video games made to date. Open world games are often massive undertakings, and as a result, tend to give players more play time than most titles, whether that time is spent completing quests or just messing around in the sand

A former two-bit criminal, Michael has retired into a witness protection program. Thanks to his previous life, he’s absolutely loaded and lives in a mansion with two kids and a wife. His kids are spoiled brats, with the son spending all day smoking pot and playing video games (no offensive, readers) and the daughter a fame-obsessed promiscuous teenager who will do anything to become a celebrity. His wife, on the other hand, resents him even though he gives her anything she could possibly want (including some surgical enhancements) and is having an affair with likely multiple suitors. Depressed and not challenged in his current country club life, Michael decides to team with Franklin for some excitement. Unfortunately, coming out of retirement made former partner and current psychopath, Trevor, take notice.
