Introduction: Rediscover GTA 5

About: Hi everyone, my name is Karen and I live in Arlington. I was born and raised here and I absolutely love it here. I work as an office assistant, I have 2 children and a caring husband. I always want what's best…

Released almost 2 years ago, to universal critical acclaim and to a large number of controversy, it seemed unlikely that anyone would get bored of GTA 5 and put it on the shelf to collect the dust. A unique and highly engaging story line featuring three characters – the Sopranos-like Michael, troubled teenager Franklin and meth-head Trevor – the game keeps it fun, satirical and addictive for whole time. The shift to large open world allowing player to roam freely and discover hidden treasures that developers left hidden around the world makes the experience non linear. And even if you have finished the game and you think you have seen it all, you should look in to the whole new side of the game - game filled with secret bonuses, missions and "Easter Eggs". In this guide we will offer you a new look at GTA 5 and list some of the best bonuses it has to offer. And if you are not completely sure you should start from the beginning, check out the unofficial trailer above to feel the passion again!

Step 1: 30 Cool Little Things

Discover those small things that developers left for you to find in the game:

  1. Burning rubber (or doing other attention-getting things) will make NPCs to whipping out their phones to film you.

  4. Hikers on top of Mt. Chiliad take pictures of the view with their phones.
  5. You can send other characters in your address book your hunting pictures, and they all text back with unique responses. Most of them angry or confused.
  6. If you try to snap a picture of a street performer without tipping them, they get angry.
  7. If you “accidentally” run over Michael’s wife, both characters react with unique dialogue, and she later sends you an angry bill for her hospital stay.
  8. If you spend a lot of money customizing your car, random NPCs will stop and compliment you on it, and start snapping pictures.
  9. If you try to force Trevor to listen to certain kinds of music, he’ll get angry and override you, changing the radio station back himself.
  10. If you stop your car in the road and block traffic, drivers behind you will flick you off.

  12. Michael will confess to and discuss random events that just happened when visiting his psychiatrist, like sleeping with prostitutes or running over pedestrians.
  13. If you hail and hop into a taxi at the airport when someone was already waiting for one, they’ll get mad and shout at you, or try to pick a fight.
  14. When wading in water, your clothes get wet - but only up to the point you actually waded. The rest of you stays dry.
  15. Some character’s voice mail messages will change as the game progresses, depending on where they are and what they’re doing at that point in the game.

  26. You can ride a Vinewood tour bus that visits lots of city landmarks, providing fully-voiced commentary on them the entire way.
  27. The GTA 5 subway, which you never actually need to visit, comes complete with its own sound effects, NPC behaviors, and over-the-air stop announcements.
  28. If you go swimming with Michael and track water indoors when Amanda is home, she will yell at you.
  29. If you shoot up one character’s house when playing as another, they’ll send you angry text messages.
  30. If someone is sitting in a chair, your melee attack can kick the chair out from under them.
