8 Reasons Why I’m Still Playing GTA V

It’s been three and a half years since the initial release of the gaming powerhouse that is GTA V and over two years since it hit eighth-gen consoles, but I’m still loving it
8 Reasons Why I’m Still Playing GTA V

1. An escape

8 Reasons Why I’m Still Playing GTA V

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but GTA V is a good escape for me. If I want to get rid of some aggression or just immerse myself in a virtual world for a bit, then I can. The open world aspect is the main reason but it also just allows you to do whatever you want in a gaming environment.

2. Cunning Stunts

I’m not the biggest fan of heists but I do love racing, so clearly the cheekily-named Cunning Stunts update was right up my street. It was a pretty exciting addition and I’m still finding the odd race or circuit that I haven’t yet tried.

3. Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Circuit

Wait, what? Even more awesome stunt races, featuring special vehicles too? Yep, this was another enjoyable update that helped freshen up the online racing aspect. 20 incredible races for the epic Rocket Voltic, Ruiner 2000 & Blazer Aqua special vehicles makes for a lot of crazy virtual racing action. I’m slightly obsessed…

4. Regular updates

If you’re not a regular GTA V player, you might not realise just how many updates have been added to the game. There’s a consistent stream of new and updated content, which helps keep things interesting and means there’s usually something new to try out. The fact Rockstar is still churning out these pretty sizeable updates so long after the initial release is very cool.

5. A drive around

As someone who lives in London and uses public transport all the time, I really miss driving a car. Sure, using a controller to drive around while sitting on the sofa isn’t realistic at all, but there is something weirdly enjoyable about speeding around Los Santos when I’m bored.

It’s probably a bit sad that I know Los Santos better than my own local area, though.

6. Extra cars

One of the best things about the regular updates are the new cars you get. Not all of the additions are to my taste but it’s cool to see new cars on the road, available to buy or race online – the Progen Tyrus, BF Ramp Buggy and Truffade Nero are particular favourites at the moment.

7. So. Much. Content.

8 Reasons Why I’m Still Playing GTA V

Because I usually focus on racing in GTA Online whenever I fire up the game, that means I still have loads of features to explore when I eventually lose interest in the Custom Stunt Series races – such as the heists I haven’t completed.

8. More money, less problems

8 Reasons Why I’m Still Playing GTA V

Rockstar’s double RP and money rewards, alongside discounts, mean I can actually afford the cars I want and splash the cash on a snazzy house in the hills. Which always makes the experience a bit nicer.

So, for those reasons, I’m still regularly selecting GTA V from my PS4 game selection and loading up Los Santos. Anyone else?

If you have a problem with hackers, just play alone in a “Invite only session”. Or just get the next gen. There are no hackers on next gen platform.

load times could be solved easly - just buy SSD. From desktop to GTA world is about 3 minutes
