5. Police Still Search After Youve Evaded Them
Another mainstay from the GTA series is the fact that once you evade the cops, youre home free. Its a classic dynamic that separates the GTA world from our own; its a world so rife with crime that once youre out of sight youre out of mind too, theres just too much other crime to deal with. However, one rumour you might hear on your travels is that in GTA V, police still hunt for someone with your description
after youve lost your stars, for a time period determined by the severity of your wanted level. Fair enough, this supplies realism to the experience, but whats attached to that rumour is what worries me most. Some missions will become unavailable should police still be hunting you, which means that youll have to find ways to pass the time before you can potentially continue with the story. Again, I foresee this pushing a stop-start dynamic on the player that might be realistic, but would most definitely be annoying. I dont know about you, but when I play a GTA game, I attract police attention literally every five minutes, which is fine because it takes about two minutes to lose em. If the last two rumours in conjunction turn out to be true what that tells me is that not only will I be attracting police attention every two minutes now, itll also take me ten minutes to fully lose them. Again, Im all for realism, but theres a
line.
