Who doesn’t love this franchise?  5 numbered entries and a handful of spinoffs have proven to be a massive success for developer/publisher Rockstar.  GTA V launched as the highest grossing first day media product ever.  More than solid gameplay and story, the GTA series is know for its wanton destruction and free roaming player empowerment.  So between rounds of gold and leisurely drives, here’s 6 of the craziest things you can do in GTA V.

1. Beat up animals

 

Deer, dogs, cougars, sharks, and more are all animals featured in GTA V.  The thing is, you can beat them all up, run them over, shoot them, anything.  You’re not always required to in the game, but no doubt people are going to try to rack up their personal score.  Everyone has been annoyed at a neighborhood dog, but now you can finally go punch a digital approximation of said dog.  In addition, while sharks are dangerous, it’s definitely not nice to hunt them down in a submarine.

2. Block Traffic

Slow traffic is one of the absolute worst things that anyone can go through in the entirety of the world.  GTA allows you to commit all sorts of legal crimes, but also the most heinous personal crimes.  By merely standing in an intersection, one can gum up all the traffic on the street.  If you’re that kind of anarchic mastermind, feel free to indulge.  Don’t be surprised if one of the non-player characters decides to run you over, though.

3. Go to strip clubs

Even though almost every home has the internet, people still enjoy going to strip clubs.  Maybe it’s the joy of seeing the human form in a live three dimensional environment.  Well, the next best thing is seeing it in a fake three dimensional environment.  GTA let’s you go to the local gentleman’s club and spend your digital dollars on a dance.  Not the classiest way to spend your time, but when a game shoots for freedom of choice, it’s important to include all aspects.

4. Take a selfie

The perils of the modern area include more than a slow Netflix connection.  Selfies are when people need to share exactly what they look like at almost any opportunity, in case of a mass wave of facial amnesia.  GTA lets you indulge in taking them whenever you’d like.  The game adds the possibility of letting you take these in front of exploding cars, gunfights, and all sorts of shenanigans.  It’s more incriminating for sure, but far more fun for everyone who has to look at them.

5. Drink & drive

Don’t drink and drive.  You can drink in the game.  You can drive in the game.  Please don’t do both.  It’s seriously a nasty habit.  Don’t even think of it.  Stop it.  You stop it right now.

6. Trade stocks

In the fast paced world of international trade, knowing the stock market is key to being successful.  The real criminals are of the white collar variety.  Insider trading, corporate espionage, all of it is visceral, stomach churning stuff.  Sure, GTA lets you run wild with guns and cars and persons of low moral standing, but it also introduces a stock market.  That’s the real training ground for bad behavior.  Make absolutely sure you keep your kids, friends, and loved ones away from this checklist of sin and vice.
