8 Incredible Video Game Mechanics You’ll Never Get To Play

7. Mechanic Skill (Salvaging Cars, Safe-Cracking & More) - GTA V

Whilst this doesn't exactly sound like a ground-breaking inclusion, the cut mechanic skill hints at a far a more intricate game than what we got. The skill was rumoured to be used primarily with cars, as your character could salvage and disassemble vehicles. Not to mention pimping your ride and making even more beastly automobiles.

The more interesting aspect of the skill was its implementation in heists, and the thieving side of the game. Being a Mechanic would govern safe-cracking, cutting through glass and dealing with security systems.

It appears that heists and big jobs originally had a more skill/class-orientated structure, with certain objectives being made easier by higher skills.

GTA V is already a complete monster of a game, so it is easy to understand why this skill was cut. But, its original inclusion hints at a far more in-depth game in some respects, than what we got.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
