Cop chases are the bread and butter of the GTA series; it's always thrilling to narrowly escape the police, and GTA V gave players even more ways to hide and covertly slip away out of sight until the star meter slowly faded away. However while this is great, there's times where you just want to do some terrible things without being caught, although you rarely get the chance to do this in the current game because the cops in GTA V are still as omnipresent as the soldiers in Oblivion. It doesn't matter whether you're in the middle of a crowded city or isolated in the desert, somehow the police know your exact location the moment you commit a crime. In all honesty, for as much as Watch Dogs got wrong, it was definitely onto something by letting you stop by-standers from calling the feds on your criminal activity. Now, GTA doesn't need to change its police system to that great of an extent, but letting players loose to pull off a successful assassination or robbery out in an isolated place with no witnesses and without an instant police notification could be just as satisfying as escaping a four-star wanted level.
