GTA Online: 10 Reasons Why It's The Perfect Time To Revisit San Andreas

8. Metagames

Even in a group there are times when doing mission after mission can hinder your enjoyment of the game, times when you simply want to run around, mess with the physics engine or cause as much destruction as possible. GTA is a series that prides itself on the idea that making your own fun can sometimes be even more enjoyable than the linear progression of the game. Never has this area been stronger than in GTA Online. With a handful of friends and a little creativity the possibilities become endless. For an idea of what these entail look no further than Youtube. 'Roosterteeth' in particular have made some hilarious videos of recorded metagames like this one. The amount of fun you can have with these is restricted only by your own imagination. Flying titans in tandem, running bikes into jet thrusters, launching bikes off the bonnet of a supercar; the list goes on. The sandbox element of GTA has been fully realised here.
