GTA 5 Review And Top Ten Things We Want To See in it....

The GTA formula is pretty well-established at this point. Create a big game world, let the player go on a shooting rampage for a bit, and then plop down a few missions for them to partake in when they are bored. It's a formula that has proven itself very successful, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. Rockstar is slowly getting closer to the perfect GTA game, but they aren't quite there yet. Here are some things we want to see in GTA 5.
10. Better Shooting/Cover System
As an open world sandbox game, GTA is second to none. As a shooter, however, it still has quite a bit of work to do. When compared to newer franchises like Uncharted, the gunplay in GTA feels a bit clunky and repetitive. Lock on, fire a gun, lather, rinse, repeat. That's all you do in GTA. We would like to see Rockstar expand this a little. More guns, greater variations between guns, and lots of context-sensitive cover within the environment could improve the game greatly. Destructible cover/terrain might also make the game more fun. And it would make the game that much more awesome when you get the tank and start bringing down skyscrapers.




9. Better Multiplayer
GTA has always been a single-player game, and, quite frankly, it doesn't have to be. It's a shooter with a huge world, and that's a potential goldmine for awesome multiplayer action. Perhaps GTA can take a page from Red Dead Redemption, another Rockstar game that had a much stronger multiplayer game mode. Characters are dropped into a big open world and can choose whether to be competitive or cooperative. On the other hand, the game could take a page from inFamous 2 and put its multiplayer co-op missions right on the main map. Either way, multiplayer support in GTA 5 is something that just needs a little boost.

8. A Setting with a Bigger Scope
The one open world crime game I had the most fun with was The Godfather. Why? Two words: New York. Being able to drive around the big city and conquer it for my own ends was an experience like none other. Once again, GTA should take a page from Red Dead Redemption and expand its world, both upward and outward. I want to see towering skyscrapers as well as long stretches of country road. I'd also like to play the game in more than one city. Think big, Rockstar, and shoot for the stars. Personally, I think a GTA in Europe, going across multiple countries, might be a big hit.

7. More DLC

GTA IV's DLC missions were both big hits, and we all want to see more of this. We don't need DLC in the form of guns or costumes, we want to see entire new stories. The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and the Damned were great, but we want to see even more. We want to see the DLC chapters become serialized. We want to experience the story of GTA V from the points of view of many different characters until it all comes together in one awesome story.

6. Side Missions that Matter

One of the problems I always had with the GTA series was that the side quests rarely mattered. The main quest was basically linear, pushing you from mission to mission until you hit the end, and if you were bored you could moonlight as a taxi driver or something. I'd like the side quests to have an actual impact on the story. I'd like to see someone notice my awesome taxi-driving skills and put me in as a drug runner in his criminal empire. I'd like to see new story paths open up depending on what side missions I complete. Essentially, I'd like to inject a bit of Fallout into the GTA universe.

5. Expanded Upgrade System
Honestly, there's not a whole lot you can spend money on in GTA IV. Sure, you can buy some weapons or armor or what have you, but at the end of the day you will probably be swimming in cash that you don't know what to do with. First of all, I'd like to see something more "Godfather-like" in terms of how the game handles cash. I'd like to pay off cops, buy property, purchase competing crime lords, and much more. Secondly, I want the stat system to become more RPG-like, perhaps also like The Godfather. I'd like to earn new weapons as I level up, get the ability to call in a hit squad, and maybe even make the infamous "spawn a tank" code an actual unlockable skill that I can earn.
4. Mid-Mission Checkpoints
I still can't believe that GTA hasn't thought of this. You know those long multi-part missions that have you driving a car through the streets and then assassinating a target or something? Well, if you botch the assassination, you have to do the driving part all over again. This is boring and tedious and very few people enjoy starting hard missions all over from the beginning. The DLC episodes were some of the first GTA games to give us mid-mission checkpoints, and it's about time the main game caught up.

3. More/Better Cars
Am I the only one who feels like every car in the GTA universe handles like complete ass? You know why I never drive on right side of the road in GTA? Because it's impossible. This makes it really hard to play those missions where I'm not supposed to get caught by the cops. (You know, like pretty much every mission in the game.) We know how to drive in real life; why is it that we can't drive effectively in GTA without our cars getting banged up or destroyed? Sure, high-speed chases should wreck our rides and cause some explosions, but simply getting where we need to go on a lazy Sunday shouldn't cause a five-car pile-up.
Side note: It would be cool if they added a semi-fast travel mode which automatically drives you at the speed limit to your destination but still lets you take control if you see a cool mission to partake in.
2. Goofiness
GTA IV was pretty grim, and that's fine, but I want to bring it back to the GTA days of old. I want to spawn a tank and go on a rampage. I want to strap on a jet pack and mow down my enemies with a Tommy gun from the sky. I want to hang glide over a river while sinking boats with a rocket launcher. Bring goofy back!




1. A Female Protagonist
I'd like to leave you with a simple request. In all these years, there has never been a female GTA protagonist. Girls can be just as bad as guys, and I want to see a female felon take the main stage. That's it. Just let me shoot up some cops with the best non-prostitute female lead Rock star can give us.
