It should be safe to assume that weve all beaten the open world heist saga masterpiece by now, but if you havent because you just havent had the time or maybe youre unhealthily addicted to GTA Online, I am warning you up front that Im blowing the roof off here, discussing major spoilers throughout. For those that have beaten the game or maybe just dont care about spoilers, feel free to continue on as I count down some personal selections for what I consider to be the most riveting, exciting, and epically memorable moments to be found across the central story missions. It wasnt something easy to just whittle down and axe away at either but I firmly stand by these picks and have a feeling you too will enjoy looking back at these awesome sequences.
10. Am I Playing GTA V Or An Interactive Version Of The Place Beyond The Pines
There is quite a bit of build up to your first heist in GTA V and rightfully so considering the string of meticulously planned and pivotal missions are all seemingly larger than life undertakings. Your first heist is with Michael and Franklin and involves robbing a small jewelry store by your choice of espionage or guns blazing. Im lustful for chaos and destruction when I play GTA so I personally kicked the damn door in and started waving my shotgun everywhere as I smashed in display case after display case hoarding as much as possible. The more you snatch the higher your money counter goes up in satisfying fashion. What I wasnt expecting though is a high speed getaway on motorcycles through the city and multiple sequential cramped construction tunnels of Los Santos to a set of trucks. Having seen The Place Beyond The Pines recently (which is an awesome complementary movie starring a bank robbing Ryan Gosling) I was having lucid flashbacks amidst trying not to veer off course into a cement wall. There are games that make you feel like youre in an interactive movie, but this is one of those rare times I could actually pinpoint an actual movie. What an awesome and brilliant mission.
