As a franchise Grand Theft Auto has been knocking it way out of the park since day one. And over the years it’s become something of an institution.
That being said, the release of GTA IV split fans down the middle. Some were adamant that departing from the arcade-style tradition – cemented in III through San Andreas – had a negative effect on playability while others insisted that the new sim-style approach was the future of the series.
One of the major complaints was that suddenly GTA was really, really hard. And I’m not arguing that fact; in the space between San Andreas and GTA IV, Rockstar completely upped the ante by making the thole experience more in-depth, with a new emphasis on cover and an entirely more detailed set of driving mechanics.
I’ve played quite a bit of GTA in my time and along the way I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks that have helped me play like a total boss. And I’ll be taking those tips with me as I prepare to land in Los Santos. How about a quick refresher?

why use pay and sprays when using the full heath cheat fixes your car as well as you if you are in it? pay and sprays = waste of time.
The title is “15 Ways To Make Sure You Play Like a Boss”. Not “15 Ways To Make Sure You Play Like a Cheater”…
Snap!
Sometimes, actually most times, I just drive like a normal person. I stop at the lights and follow the speed limit of the other cars.
It’s actually pretty fun.
Lol, I’ve done that myself. It’s actually a lot more difficult than it sounds.
‘The left trigger is your friend.’ How much did you play GTA 4? The left trigger was more dangerous than any Eastern European gangsters.
Also I love the point about the radio; they really need to improve it for GTA V. San Andreas was awesome I just used to drive around listening to the radio whilst doing collectibles, I could sing every song and say all the script off the top of my head.
GTA 4′s radio was quite suckish.
Would you not think it smart to contribute as much as financially possible towards future great titles from rockstar rather than sabotaging their sales because of their marketing tactics. Paul, for a 29 y.o this seems quite an immature idea
I found pausing n changing the radio station on the sound menu works that way u can check what song is playing on ur favourite
