30 Things To Do In The GTA Games

After the success of GTA 3, many studios tried to make their own version of Grand Theft Auto. However, Rockstar games still have unique features that are rarely found in other projects. This is what our article is about.

This hidden feature is available in all parts of the series, starting with the third GTA. If you drive up to a beauty in a short skirt, she will get into your car. All that remains is to take her to a secluded place and turn off the engine. This way you can restore health. But keep in mind that the services of night butterflies cost money. Moreover, in Grand Theft Auto 5, the ladies offer a whole price list of services.

Unlike other similar games, in GTA it is really interesting to challenge the system. Serious crimes, in the spirit of attacks on passers-by, attract the interest of the police. They have a lot of means to stop us, and if air support and spike strips on the road are not enough, then the cops will enlist the support of the FIB and the army. However, the player also has many trump cards, from heavy hand weapons to tanks and attack helicopters. With the right skill, you can really fight the law for a long time.

In the fifth GTA, you can arrange a race with a random sports car owner right in the open world of the game. To do this, just stand next to him at a traffic light and start revving the engine. Such competitions are usually found in full-fledged representatives of the racing genre, for example, in Need for Speed: Underground 2.

The feeling of flying is simply indescribable — in this regard, the GTA series games can be compared to full-fledged parachute simulators. However, you can only make such a jump in San Andreas, The Ballad of G** Tony and the fifth part. In other games in the series, you can climb a building, but it is not a fact that you will be able to survive after landing.

The GTA series games also offer peaceful professions that are not related to murders and chases. Moreover, driving a taxi or putting out fires here is more fun than in full-fledged simulators, which rely on boring realism.

This way you can see all the content that the developers have in store. But keep in mind that you will have to spend a lot of time looking for hidden objects and routine tasks. We recommend starting with GTA 3 or Vice City, because they are completed 100% much faster than other games in the series.

Usually cheat codes discourage honest play. But not in GTA. Thanks to such a tank call, access to the entire arsenal and driving cars on water, a slightly different game opens up before us, much more fun and unpredictable.

If you play on PC, you can use user modifications. Among them are both banal graphics improvements and new story modes. An example is The Long Night, which turns sunny Vice City into a gloomy city with hordes of the living dead.

The plots of individual parts of the GTA series are based on films and TV shows. Of course, the authors did not stop there, but added many Easter eggs to their games. For example, those who watched the cult film "Scarface" will immediately remember the scene of killing Tony Montana's friend with a chainsaw when entering apartment 3C.

The "Demolition Man" mission in Vice City has become a meme due to its high difficulty. In it, you have to take control of a small remote-controlled helicopter and plant explosives in an unfinished building. The problem is that this toy does not respond well to your commands, and after a couple of accidental collisions, it will catch fire. You should also consider the need to meet the specified time and aggressive guards who are trying to destroy your "toy".

In fact, it is not easy to explain in words the complexity of this mission. It is better to try it yourself. Only then will you understand why thousands of players hate this task.

For many players, the first successful jump to a great height turned out to be a pleasant surprise. At this moment, the camera abruptly changes the angle and shows all the beauty of the flight on a motorcycle or car. Moreover, for each such jump, the game rewards you with a small amount.

Strictly speaking, there are no full-fledged missions for the police in GTA. We are talking about vigilantes, that is, people who help law enforcement agencies administer justice. Therefore, killing criminals sometimes leads to the appearance of wanted stars. However, even in this format, the player feels that he is on the side of the law.

While working on the sixth Grand Theft Auto, screenwriter Dan Houser suggested adding a storyline of a female cop. This could show the world of GTA from a new side. However, the idea was not supported by the publisher.

By 2025, car tuning no longer causes such a stir as in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, such opportunities are not found in all races. And in GTA 5 and San Andreas, you can fine-tune the appearance of your car, make it faster and more maneuverable. And then you can save the vehicle in your garage.

And you don't have to use the online mode of the fifth part. You can fight each other in the fourth GTA or in SAMP. You can choose from both simple competitions and RP servers with the ability to play a specific role.

During the first playthrough, many fans decided to save both heroes in the finale of GTA 5. But other possible endings of the game are no worse worked out. Among fans of the series, there is a widespread opinion that Michael's death looks more logical than the standard happy ending. It is difficult to say whether this is true or not. We recommend that you see all the plot twists in person and draw your own conclusion.

The problem is that not every player will be able to understand English speech by ear without subtitles. However, you can use the translations that are online. There is a lot of great humor on local stations, including beyond the bounds of foul. And some characters, for example, Pastor Richards from Vice City, open up during dialogues on the radio.

As practice shows, replacing standard GTA cars with your country's transport can give you a sense of nostalgia. You can go further and install a mod that changes the map to a typical residential area of your city or a small village.

This feature appeared in GTA: San Andreas, but it is still impressive today. In the fifth part, after a direct hit on the gas tank, fuel will spill out. If you shoot at the liquid on the ground, it will work like a fuse, and an explosion will occur after a few seconds. It can also be set on fire using the car's exhaust.

The TV programs in the fourth and fifth parts of the GTA series are really funny. They raise topics that are still relevant, ridicule superheroics, various talent shows and much more. There was also room for serious stories, for example, the everyday life of the Los Santos police.

However, you can not sit at home, but go to the cinema to watch a new film.

It is always interesting to watch the realistic emotions of random people. In GTA 5, they will react differently to your attempts to take a photo without asking. Some will start smiling affably, while others will show aggression. As a result, a fight may even start.

But the opposite situation also happens — if you drive a luxury car, passers-by will start taking pictures of it.

Variability in GTA is not limited to specific choices at key plot points. If desired, you can complete specific tasks in alternative ways. Go to save Lance Vance in a helicopter in the mission "Death Row", infiltrate the territory of a golf club with a firearm to killbusinessman, fly onto the roof of a train during the "Wrong Side of the Tracks" mission, and so on. As a result, familiar childhood games can be revealed from a new side.

The "Caligula's Palace" establishment and other casinos in Las Venturas will allow you to experience the excitement of betting and card games. At the same time, you will not risk real money, only virtual currency will be at stake.

As with in-game TV, you can find a lot of interesting things on the Internet. But keep in mind that there are also resources there that you shouldn't visit. Otherwise, you risk breaking the law. On the other hand, will that stop you?

In GTA: San Andreas, no one is stopping you from getting into an electric locomotive and taking control of an entire train. You can not only hijack a train, but also make it derail.

There are rumors that flying saucers are also in San Andreas, but no one has provided any confirmation of this in 20 years. But in GTA 5, there is definitely a UFO. However, to see it, you need to fulfill a number of non-obvious conditions, including 100% completion of the game.

Many parts of GTA have cars that are present in a single copy. Among them are both cars with unique paint jobs and vehicles with special capabilities, for example, with increased speed or increased durability. To find them and save them in your garage, you need to use your wits or read a thematic guide. Such cars can be useful for further progress.

You can choose to go bowling, play billiards, hang out at a bar, watch stand-up comedy, and more. If you want, you can get drunk and walk around the city in a state of alcoholic intoxication.

This way, you can earn money and get a free firearm, which will come in handy early in the game. However, you won't feel like a crime fighter, because one seller will be replaced by another after a short time.

At first, you will probably make mistakes and accidentally set the main character on fire. But over time, you can master this unusual weapon and use it for your own purposes. Note that only a Molotov cocktail and flamethrower flame can destroy a tank.

This organization was mentioned in San Andreas. However, only in GTA 5 does it have its own secret storyline. You will have to complete a series of tasks, and then decide what to do with the local cultists. No one is stopping you from killing them and taking the cultists' money for yourself.
