GTA is the closest we have ever gotten to a game based on reality… Or is it. As it turns out, there is a lot of moments in GTA that makes some of us notice how none of that can happen in real life. So, without any further delay, here is the five things in the Grand Theft Auto franchise that actually isn’t that real
#5: Everyone Can Fly Planes or Helicopters - Now, this is lower because some of these the characters are justified when it comes to flying planes or helicopters. Niko from GTA IV was in a war, and I am sure he flew a helicopter at one point or another, and Trevor from GTA V was in the air force. But as for everyone else, it just makes no sense. CJ from San Andreas was just a typical gangster, and so was Tommy in Vice City. When the hell did they have any experience with planes or helicopters. How the hell did they get a perfect pilot's license? It just makes no damn sense
#4: Water Kills You - Now, in later games, like IV and V, this problem was fixed, and all your characters could swim, but in earlier games like III, Vice City, San Andreas, Vice City Stories, and Liberty City Stories, water was like lava. The second you fall in it, consider yourself dead. Now, I know not everyone is like an olympic swimmer, but these guys die when they are only ankle deep in water. I’d hate to see how they'd react taking a bath.
#3: Buying an RPG - Now, you can get a gun anywhere in any firearm store. A pistol and a shotgun, yeah, I’m sure you can get one of those. An assault rifle and SMG, a bit questionable, but you can easily get them. Now, an RPG. Okay, now, that is a bit too far. You can’t just walk into any firearm store and just pick up a RPG for any price. It is illegal to buy one of those. However, Vice City did make it right, since you can buy it from an illegal weapons salesman, and so that makes it a bit more realistic.
#2: Hearse That Drops Unlimited Exploding Coffins - Now, I know what a lot of you are saying. “Wind, what are you talking about”? Well, in Vice City, there is a mission called Two Bit Hit where Tommy must dress up as a gang member and ambush a funeral and kill the driver of the hearse. However, the driver is dropping a never ending amount of coffins that explode when you touch them… Do I even need to explain how that is not realistic.
#1: Traffic Violations - Now, I know why this was never put into the games. No one wants to be chased by the cops because you are just driving a bit too fast or on the wrong side of the road. It would get extremely annoying. However, while it’s good they kept it out of the game, it is still greatly realistic. You could NEVER get away with this in real life, no matter how hard you try. And yet, this is in every single game in the series. From the very first top view Grand Theft Auto, to the 3D San Andreas, to the Game of the Year GTA IV, to the ground breaking GTA V. Traffic Violations have always been in the series, and I doubt they are going away.
So, there you have it. Did you enjoy the list. Tell me what you thought of it below. With that, I will see you all next time.

#1:SULLIVAN:
As you already know.
I kinda stopped playing for a bit, Sullivan is why.
Not to mention. I was shocked the first time. I was starting to like Sullivan..
#2: CHEF ANTOINE:
I think we covered this one :)
#3: BACHMAYER:
Near the end of the 3rd game, Max Payne fights this guy.
It's hard to explain, why it's so hard, just have to see it yourself..
#4: BECKER:
Last boss of Max Payne 3.
And really holds the "last boss" feeling.
In a negative way..
#5: WESKER:
The main villain of Resident evil 5. And final boss..
#6: CEASER:
The final boss of Assasins Creed 3..

What in the name of god. They are already ready remaking Grand Theft Auto 5.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love Grand Theft Auto 5. I think it is one of the funnest games I have played in 2013. But, seriously, it's only one year old, and already they are remaking it for Playstation 4 and XBox One. Seriously, you should at least give a game some time to age before you remake it. Look at Ocarina of Time, a game which people said is the greatest game ever, which was made back in 1999. The remake for the 3DS wasn't made until 2012, which is years later. Honestly, they are already remaking GTA 5. Sure, the graphics are better, but the thing is that the graphics were amazing to begin with. Why are you remaking this game so early, Rockstar. But, hey, that's only my opinion. What's Your Take
