GTA V: 5 Mistakes That Must Be Avoided

4. Prioritising Realism Over Fun

The old age fan argument about GTA 4; was it too reigned in? Whilst it was a truly tremendous game, it was possibly the most restricted in terms of player freedom and expression with a lack of character customisation, purchasable items and just general freedom. Breaking in to a military facility to steal a tank felt like a far off memory where it used to be as common as gunfire, death and the word €˜homie€™. Though certain aspects of the third generation of GTA games danced along the borderline of ridiculous; it always felt believable in the GTA universe and though GTA 4 was an incredibly good story; past that there wasn€™t a lot of incentive to keep exploring the world as it was incredibly reigned in. This is the same with the missions; they were exciting but eventually tiresome as the reigned in world of GTA 4 took its toll and the missions failed to expand. We don€™t want another Saints Row 3 on our hands because, let€™s face it, who on earth would want that? But a wilder, more out there streak would help keep the game as fun as GTA games of old.
