The skill system Grand Theft Auto It does not have the recognition it deserves, despite the fact that it has very important aspects for the players: driving, flying, shooting with weapons, resistance… And in most cases it is due to a complete ignorance of all the possibilities and details that each branch offers.
The latest installment in the franchise, GTA V and GTA Online, has this skill system. It is impossible to ignore it, since in history it is detailed to us every so often when we level up and in multiplayer mode we have to set skill points before starting our adventure.
Its operation is very simple: per repeat. The more we do (or not) certain actions, the more the bars of each ability increase or decrease. For example: the more we run, the more resistance. Although it currently surprises very few (so much so that many don’t even pay attention), in 2004 it was a real madness which led many people to invest a lot of time in the character.
Details in driving CJ
GTA San Andreas He had that skill system. The highlight of all was the ability to gain weight or lose weight to CJ based on food and exercise in the weight zones. This affected speed and animations both while running and when jumping/climbing fences and other objects. It even changes aspects of the story! However, he was not the only one with his own details.
have a high or low driving level it had many benefits when it came to driving vehicles: speed, turning, braking and general handling. But the thing did not end there! The animations of C.J. they changed completely when driving. You can see it in the image of u/Batsticks on Reddit.
When CJ has the low skill, drives with both hands and looks back with your head when reversing. when she has the high skill, use one hand for the steering wheel and the rearview mirror to go backwards. The animations can also vary depending on the car, but as a rule they are based on the character’s ability. You can see it more clearly in the video (10:48 min) by Real KeV3n.
driving on Grand Theft Auto It has always been a very important aspect for both Rockstar Games and the fan community. It has changed a lot throughout the deliveries, although not always for the better. It is not a secret that GTA V is not exactly an advance compared to GTA IV and the only relevant change was the introduction of drift tires in online mode.
The debate has been on the table for years and the expectations of the community for GTA VI are in the air. Regardless of one’s opinion, no one can deny that Rockstar Games has always put incredible details into driving. GTA San Andreasone of the most outstanding installments of the franchise, already had these details that make a difference and that surprise even today.
Details in CJ’s way of shooting
One of the most determining aspects of the skill system in GTA San Andreas it was the shot. The difference between having low and high levels was enormous. Not only improved CJ’s aim and mobility with all weapons, but in cases such as pistols and automatic pistols, he would use duals. Two weapons are better than one, so obviously this is a noticeable improvement.
The really interesting details of this section are found in the animations. He video by Sh1ft0r on Youtube he shows us how CJ fires all weapons with high and low level. The case of shotguns (normal and combat), the Assault rifles and machine guns it’s especially interesting because it goes from firing from the hip to aiming with the butt on the shoulder… something that justifies the increase in accuracy and mobility.
These details are maintained in the new version of GTA Trilogy, although many users have not been able to enjoy them due to its precarious launch. They are proof that GTA San Andreas It was and is a great game like a cathedral and that Rockstar Games has always pushed the limits when it comes to detailing its video games. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the most recent example and it remains to be seen what crazy things they have in store for GTA VI.
