In past games, we&#8217;ve followed a main character through trials and\u00a0tribulations\u00a0mixed with fun side missions and challenges that certainly kept me busy for weeks. \u00a0In this game, you follow not 1, but 3\u00a0protagonists. Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, all criminals whose stories\u00a0gradually\u00a0intertwine as you complete missions. When you aren&#8217;t on a quest, you can freely choose which character you play as, meanwhile, your idle characters roam around the city doing everyday routines. You can then explore the open world by playing side-missions, mini games, or doing whatever your criminal heart desires.\u00a0The game takes place in Los Santos, in the state of San Andreas, kind of a mondern day southern Cali basis.<\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: There&#8217;s going to be a little bit of character customization! Mostly with clothing and\u00a0accessories, but not fully fledged &#8220;I want to be a blonde&#8221; or &#8221; I am now purple&#8221; options. We even have plenty of mini-games!\u00a0Some of the mini-games will include doing yoga, repossessing cars, watching lots of new t.v. shows, robbing banks, competing in triathlons, jet skiing, base-jumping, playing tennis, and partaking in a lovely afternoon of golf!\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6555 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/gta-5-1-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So the mega rumor was that GTA 5 is going to be &#8220;the biggest and most ambitious&#8221; GTA to date. San Andreas has the record currently for the largest map, being 13.9 square miles (36 square kilometers). For a game, that&#8217;s pretty effing huge. With a recent interview to game informer, the big question was asked:<\/p>\n<p><em>Just how big is this world? Art director Aaron Garbut crunched the math. When you include interior and exterior spaces together, Los Santos is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined, with room to spare.&#8221;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6556 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/wakingideas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/gta_5_27_thumb-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ay dios Mio! Ambitious\u00a0is a bit of an understatement. Rockstar North has set a new bar that is going to be\u00a0ridiculously\u00a0hard to top by any other game claiming to be huge and have an open world. I know I would never want to make that claim after this news. I know I know, it isn&#8217;t always about the size, but the performance. Se lets hope that the game play and story can back this incredible map up. Previous games have led me to\u00a0believe\u00a0that we wont be\u00a0disappointed, but I&#8217;ve been let down before. So we&#8217;ll see spring of 2013!<\/p>\n<p>XX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nOne of the most anticipated games of 2013 is of course, Grand theft auto V.
