GTA V: 5 Mistakes That Must Be Avoided
Luckily for humanity, we are here to guide the world with a helping hand to direct Rockstar’s latest foray in to the criminal underworld.
Whilst the power hungry megalomaniacs at Rockstar sit on their thrones made out of peoples expectations and desires, maniacally laughing over our pallid bodies begging for a sweet release like, a release date, another trailer, a lock of hair from the main character, pretty much any tangible revelation that can keep our bubbling excitement at bay; we here at WhatCulture towers are ponderously looking forward to one of the biggest gaming releases of all time. With anything that excites you, comes niggling doubts, and whilst Id rather entertain the prospect of a decade living with Piers Morgan than comprehending a poor GTA instalment, there are doubts, mistakes could be made and if so a brilliant gaming experience could be ruined...Kind of...Maybe. Luckily for humanity, we are here to guide the world with a helping hand to direct Rockstars latest foray in to the criminal underworld. 1. Placing Too Much Emphasis On The Technical Side
Its common in a world of advancing technology and ego massage for people to get lost in the loveliness of their own design. Its a shame, but mediums of entertainment have become so ignorant of anything other than how it all looks its become as upsettingly surreal and vain as an episode of Americas Next Top Model; only with less bitching, bulimia and underwater photo shoots of video game characters (If youre unfamiliar with Americas Next Top Model and think Im joking about Underwater photo shoots, Im not; its ridiculous.) This is especially true in modern gaming, style takes the priority over other aspects. Take Battlefield 3 as an example; does anyone have anything interesting to say about it other than the fact its new engine was quite nice to look at? Even most of the pre-release buzz was about the design and little all else; because everything else sucked. While its natural for technological advancements to be an interesting feature; Rockstar cant prioritise this as a way of impressing people; when the game lacks substance. Tron Legacy looked pretty, doesnt stop it being the worst film Ive ever seen; Battlefield 3 looked pretty, doesnt stop it being the dullest game Ive ever played. GTA 5 can look pretty, but it must do a lot more than that.
