Review: Grand Theft Auto V
Wei Cheng is the Triad gang leader in Los Santos, and when we first hear of him, his son Tao and an interpreter are considering Trevor Philips Industries as a business partner for their meth operation in Blaine County. The Aztecas attack the meth lab while Trevor is giving his potential customers a tour of his business, and the Triads decide to work with the O'Neil brothers inst
GTA V has three protagonists, each with their own unique tastes, styles, and personalities. You can customize their clothes, hair, and vehicles, whatever. Most of them stick, but there’s always one that resets and it’s annoying every time it happens. You can spend a good deal of time looking for the perfect outfit for Michael, Franklin, or Trevor. You get the clothes, you’re feeling good, switch it up to one of the other protagonists for a second and then once you switch back – BAM, completely different set of clothes. It isn’t that hard to change them back mind you, but trekking it all the way back to your safe house just to out on some new threads is kind of a pain unless you’re in the a
Later on, Bernstein gets Trevor to torch his house to collect the insurance money. He betrays him, and brings along the police, trying to get funniest Trevor Philips moments tossed in prison. At this point, the player has the option of killing Bernstein. While it does bring police attention, it is worth it to rid the GTA world of this scumbag. I mean, forcing your wife to sleep with strangers? Savage AF, ind
After Michael went into "retirement," Trevor relocated to Sandy Shores and decided to do what he does best -- be a redneck. He lives in a trailer, has terrible hygiene, is promiscuous with all the wrong people and associates with...let’s just say the "the wrong crowd." Even though he has delusions of grandeur thanks to his shell company "Trevor Phillips Industries," he’s a broke loser with little to show in life. After finding out that former accomplice Michael is alive and well under a different name, he decides to drive down to Los Santos to pay him a visit. Soon all three characters are thrust into the plans of a crooked FiB agent (guess what initialism that’s a play on) and some notorious gangsters in the city and have to work together to survive and bring in a handsome payday while they’re at it.
Of course, the biggest question on many's mind is whether or not this is a mere gimmick. With the amount of work and customization Rockstar clearly put into it, it's far from a throwaway feature. Those who tailor the settings to their likings will realistically find a whole new way to experience the title. Some may even prefer many aspects of first-person mode. While I found it agreeable, I still prefer to experience the entire game in third-person, but there's no denying that gunplay can be more smooth and precise in first-person. However gamers decide to experience it, though, they can be assured it will be in a beautiful setting.
As we’ve said, and as you already know, there’s a bunch of cool stuff to do in GTA V when you’re either done with the story or just feel like talking some breathers in between. When a game is riddled with mini-games, it usually hints and the overall product being of questionable quality. But Rockstar got it right once more with GTA V. Rather than being there as compensation, these mini-games, and tasks that you can immerse yourself in throughout the game help make it all seem that much more real. But man, Tennis, Golf, Stock trading – this does kind of seem a little bit like a retirement simulator on the side, doesn’t
The third entry in the Assassin's Creed series suffered quite a bit of criticism at its release. This was mainly due to the game's bugs, glitches, and its less charismatic lead. As a consequence, it was written off by quite a few gamers alike. Which is a shame because the world and its narrative were beautifully reali
For my money I hope that Grand Theft Auto V delivers a new character in a familiar setting because that’s what Rockstar does so well: introduce gamers to a fully fleshed out world and let them experience it through the eyes of a new and interesting character. Yes, getting to catch up with any of the characters from GTA ’s past seems like fun, but it would pale in comparison to meeting someone
Things can get pretty heated in GTA V Online. Aside from having a dozen wild cards around you on the map, you have to worry about which one of them might lose it first. There’s no real reason as to why people always kill each other online. It’s just instinctive. Kill them before you – or just kill them and take their money. But while some people might be passive, others will hunt you to the ends of hell to get even. If you piss people off enough, you might have to just bail to a different server. Some of these people hold some pretty strong grudges. If you’re watching it happen though, it’s pretty funny to see someone get their just desserts over and o
