2. The Swingset Glitch
Now, this one's a cheat GTA can't really account for the infamous swingset glitch, because that's exactly what it was a glitch. By their very nature, glitches are unexpected, somehow borne of a balls-up in the programming code. Normally though, this just lets you merge with the scenery, walk into a wall or if you're lucky, give you unexpected immortality. It doesn't usually let you blast the morally-conflicted protagonist into the air like a Serbain clay pigeon. This was possibly the only place where GTA IV beat San Andreas for balls-out lunacy the ghost car glitch was fun, but throwing a human hundreds of feet into the air like a rag doll was just a whole different ball game, if the balls were Serbians and the bats were children's swingsets. The ragdoll physics fascinated most players, yet the limit our imaginations seemed to have was thowing Niko out of a speeding vehicle and into the path of another car going at full pace in the opposite direction. So when we discovered we could chuck Mr Belic into the air, we swarmed on that like a pack of dogs on a three-legged cat. I hope this gets kept in GTA V, even just as a homage to its more dour-faced predecessor. But even if they don't, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to force something mental to happen somehow. It's just a question of finding out what, and where. Personally, I cannot wait.
