Session fun rating: 10/10
Stunts, banks, miniguns, racists, boats, bikes and crashing trains. Wow, what a game.
GTA V keeps impressing me every step of the way. It started with some daredevil action as Franklin stumbled upon a man stuck in a tree after a base jump. This led to a series of missions that had me base jumping off a ton of crazy places, even some of the mission markers required me to use a helicopter, the blimp or even a dirt bike. There were maybe a dozen side activities related to that, all of which were pretty fucking crazy... For example, I drove an ATV onto a cargo plane and did air stunts with it as I fell to towards the ground, then jumped off and parachuted to safety. In the end, my mission guy, Dom, killed himself by trying a dangerous move off a bridge. Franklin also met Mary Ann, the crazy athlete that raced Michael earlier in the game. We raced a triathlon against each other and she screamed out obscenities when Franklin won.
Trevor also had an interesting side story where he met a very racist man who acts as a vigilante border patrol agent. The missions were pretty simple, but the dialogue was fucking gold! In the end, Trevor, being an immigrant himself, turns on his allies and kills them in cold blood.
I then played a few real story missions. Michael and Trevor are still not allowed in the city, so to even the score, they decided to run a job in Sandy Shores at a local bank. After scoping out the place and learning the police response, we hijacked some military hardware, including a minigun, from a freight truck to help us bust through the cops after stealing the money. We did the job and it went well, even though we had to shoot down dozens of cops, soldiers, jeeps, trucks and helicopters. We actually scored some real money for once and I'm planning on buying a couple of properties with the profit.
The last mission I completed was also completely insane. Trevor keeps watch on a high value cargo train that comes through Sandy Shores every month. We decided to get on it, crash it and retrieve whatever cargo we could from the wreckage. This meant Trevor following the train in a dirt bike, jumping onto it and riding the bike to the lead car then killing the driver. He then redirected the train to a different route so that it crashed with another incoming train, resulting in epic destruction below a bridge. Michael was waiting in a boat nearby and managed to snag a fancy looking statue from the cargo as Trevor held incoming cops with a machine gun. Seems like a lot of work for a fucking statue if you ask me!
