These characters’ traits and stories directly tie in with the gameplay in a certain way just to double the fun, it may not be the most realistic, but it is amusing to play around with their abilities. Even though you might not like the style or the path they chose to tell the narrative, which is understandable, they undeniably did a great job at it. Writing a rich main story for three protagonists that have to interact with each other most of the time and for which protagonists’ relationships intertwine in some weird way or another is a colossal effort, objectively speaking.

In a small trip to answer the question, What made GTA 5 so brilliant? I’m ready to treat this as a court session judging what’s believed to be just for an eight-year-old video game.

But I have some arguments backing me up, from memorable characters to an enjoyable experience. And yes, I’m going to treat GTA 5 and its online mode as one package, as it should be, or at least what I believe to be true.Īs it is one tame task to mention what GTA 5 excels at, it is much of a tumultuous quest to change one’s mind about it, especially when we get to the part that includes the infamous online mode. While it is comprehensible and justifiable, it doesn’t deny the fact that people are starting to hate GTA 5 and strip it out of what it had to serve. It’s not a lack of sense or unjustified distaste, but rather how the game affected Rockstar Games’ policies and how they treat other games in relation, like Red Dead Redemption 2, for example. And being crowned as the second best-selling video game of all time! This rationally has to be explainable with a discernible reason and valid reasoning.īut the gaming community seems to have reached a certain threshold with GTA 5, which prevents them from looking back on how amazing it actually is. Making its way to the top sales every month, beating recently released games every now and then. GTA 5, since its release back in 2013, is still breaking numbers around the globe. It was the point where I firmly believed that video games wouldn’t be able to advance past it.

Calling my status at such a time “thrilled” would be a tremendous undermining. It felt like it was yesterday when I saw the GTA 5 teaser trailer.
