Five Ways You Can Make Grand Theft Auto V More Immersive

Kotaku: "Much of the joy of Grand Theft Auto V comes from a sense of freedom, of exploring an entirely different world. The story missions are fine, the heists are neat enough, but the bustling state of San Andreas is the game's crowning achievement. Too bad it's far too easy to run through it and miss the best stuff."

#1 - Don't take your meds for at least a week.

In my own opinion Free Aim is actually much better. It far easier to line up head shots in Free Aim with Aim Sensitivity at 70%+ (I prefer right about 70%).

I disabled auto-aim and attempted to use "assisted"-aim for a while to give it a chance but just like auto-aim I found it would focus on the wrong target I intended because two or more people were close together that the game "chose" what it thought I wanted. This irritated the living crap out of me and I've gone 100% free aim strictly because of it. I had a similar problem with GTAIV and ended up all free aim on it as well.

Don't get me wrong, like the author mentioned, free aim isn't perfect in GTA. The free aim, regardless of your sensitivity choice, is not a smooth as it can be in comparison to other third person over the shoulder shooters. GTA has a severe tendency to have situations of overshooting or undershooting your target. It's as if the "dead-zones" aren't quite right causing your aiming cursor to go a little to far or just not far enough.

To each his own I guess.

Irishguy954262d ago

Agree, personally I think the shooting in general was better in Red dead, from the aiming to the recoil to the sound effects. But still, it's alright. Free aim is the only way to play for me.

brich2334262d ago

I always turn off aim assist in every game and i agree with some of the things u said about free aim. I use my controller with kontrol freeks to increase my accuracy even greater and have the sensitivity around 80 or 90% and i have no problem targeting headshots.

How I increase immersion: get it for PC when it comes

Graphics are a major component of immersion

Ontop of that, throw in a couple pedestrian density and traffic density mods and boom your city now looks and feels more real than ever before

paul-p19884262d ago

I really hope Rockstar either REALLY delay GTA5 PC, or just don't bring it out at all, just to knock all you high-and-mighty PC gamers down a peg or two...

In the meantime, us console gamers will be enjoying the newest games on next-gen hardware whilst you guys are playing a last gen game with poorly made mods :)

'...just to knock all you high-and-mighty PC gamers down a peg or two'

Everything I said was factual, don't be so butthurt about it. Graphics are a factor of immersion, and PC will have best graphics

'...us console gamers will be enjoying the newest games on next-gen hardware'

hardware that is already half a decade behind PC

'...whilst you guys are playing a last gen game with poorly made mods'

New flash, mr ignorant, next gen games are available on PC and not every mod is poorly made.

Also, I really hope I don't have to tell you how idiotic and foolish it is to think GTA 5 won't come to PC. I'd say if you thought this, you were an ignorant kid with no concept of statistical trends

brich2334262d ago

U must have no idea how much detail rockstar was able to cram in less than 512mb.

These ideas are good in theory but nobody would be able to do that very often.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese10d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde10d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast10d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake10d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow110d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown18d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8518d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown18d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8517d ago (Edited 17d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole17d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name18d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast17d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj17d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos30d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto30d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba30d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz30d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u29d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
