  You have no idea how mad it makes me when i play gta 4 and have to traverse the whole map over again from failing a mission from something silly. The checkpoints in gta 5 are just really nice and good to have

  I will admit i used the skip feature because i didnt feel like sitting through Yoga not because it was hard its just boring when you replay the game

  There's no point in buying clothes and customizing your character in singleplayer because when I switch back to another character they always change back to their shitty default outfit usually in the middle of nowhere

  Non-linearity is what makes the Hitman series so exceptionally fun to me

  I’ve played through the story at least 4 times over the years and I never even knew there was a ”skip” option.. That’s how easy this game is

  The main selling point for me about GTA V is the atmosphere. This is something that&apos;s hard to actually quantify, but matters more than almost anything. This is where a game becomes more than the sum of its parts. The city of Los Santos and the surrounding areas, coupled with the radio stations, the greatly realized traffic and NPCs, and the amazing attention to detail just brings joy to me.<br><br>One thing I truly agree with from your video, is the difficulty, or rather total lack there of. This game should have been harder. Just making a hard mode that disables checkpoints and special abilities would have made the experience much better.<br><br>Great video and analysis, it was a nice watch.

  The checkpoint and skip feature is very useful for testing and practicing stuff for speedrunning, so can&apos;t really say anything against it.

  Can&apos;t wait for GTA VI to have all these same problems 13 years later

  One thing to note about the &quot;I didn&apos;t EARN that victory...&quot; in regards to the skip feature. This may come as a shock but... Some people just don&apos;t play games for the sense of accomplishment. Like, at all.

  The intro mission to gta 5 is a memory, I always thought.<br><br>But the freedom of non linear is a issue, games becoming kinda movies you just control

  I learned something new today. In ten years of playing GTA5, I never failed so badly that an option to skip a mission appeared.<br>I wouldn&apos;t use it if it did, but still, good to know.
