Yea I know where to go, it's pretty simple

regarding the easter egg

disappoint that you can't use the boosters... there has to be more to it than getting a trash vehicle that looks elite

tbh i think it is just the sonar docks lol

is it the strangers thing you have to do with michael?

Deffo not the sonar docks, when there with michael and it just a stranger mission

It's definitely GTA with all that means but this time there is no redeeming quality in any of the characters. They are all total scumbags. It changes things. I'm not sure why, but it's hard to give a **** when your toon is just a douchebag with douchebag motivations.

I think this is a good thing and a bad thing. It's bad because the characters are boring. It's good because it frees you of any moral hesitation when playing what is intrinsically a murder simulator, something that past GTA games lacked in comparison IMO. They went for complex characters that made for compelling stuff like arcs. There are no arcs in GTA 5. The characters babble about the same **** the whole game. The black guy is still bitching about escaping the hood up to the last cut scene.

But I think that works. GTA has always been about abhorrent mayhem but you never felt like any of them actually supported your actions, which made you feel like a giant dick when you got that GTA 4 dude, a guy who is trying to redeem himself for the awful **** he did in his past, behind the wheel of a bus and driving erratically through Times Square. In fact they made it horrific to run over people in GTA 4 -- the sound, the 'speed bump' effect, the damage it'd do to your car and the blood it left behind. Basically the gameplay and the world are at odds with the protagonist and his story. GTA 5 avoids this by recognizing that its characters are: To varying extents, all paper thin psychopaths. Which makes them unrealistic and unrelatable, and by extent their actions are more, I don't know, cartoony?

I'm kind of okay with that. In my opinion Rockstar's devs are peerless in making fantastic, hugely compelling characters matched by fantastic and hugely compelling worlds. GTA 5 only has the latter, but as a carnage-filled sandbox it's still a lot of fun and it doesn't judge me for mowing down pedestrians.

With that said about characters, I have to admit that it's ironically refreshing to play a game that actually has crazy people for its main characters. Like you can't roleplay a crazy person in a game like Skyrim. I mean, you can murder travelers on backroads or whatever but the story doesn't support it and by the end you're still the Hero and Savior of the World. When you do that **** it's completely on you as a person. In GTA 5, when I switched to the redneck guy, it had him driving his truck behind several bicyclists clogging up the street. The redneck says something like, "These goddamn guys think they own the road!" The game gave me clearance to run them over. It's hard not to appreciate that on some deranged level.
