5 things Rockstar removed from GTA 5 that fans still hate
(Image via Rockstar) Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V has been praised as one of the most ambitious and expansive open-world games of all time. But for all the features it introduced, it also quietly dropped a number of beloved elements from earlier GTA titles, and fans noticed. Over a decade since release, many players still grumble about what was left behind. Here are five features Rockstar removed from GTA 5 that fans still haven't forgiven. 1. RPG Elements from San Andreas In GTA: San Andreas , players could level up their skills, from stamina and strength to driving and shooting. You could even change CJ's body shape through diet and exercise. In GTA 5 , these systems were toned down to the point of irrelevance. Skill stats exist, but they barely impact gameplay and can't be developed in meaningful ways. It was a missed opportunity to deepen immersion and personalization. GTA VI: PUBLIC TRANSPORT (UBER, SCOOTERS & MORE) 2. Functional Taxis for Quick Travel Taxis still exist in GTA 5 , but you can't skip the ride unless you're in director mode or use mods. In GTA IV , you could hop in a cab and fast-travel anywhere, making it perfect for roleplay or skipping long drives. For a game this large, GTA 5's lack of streamlined fast travel was frustrating, especially after Rockstar had already nailed it before. 3. Car Customization Depth from Midnight Club Influence Although GTA 5 brought back car customization via Los Santos Customs, many fans felt it was a downgrade from what Rockstar once achieved with Midnight Club: Los Angeles . There are fewer body kits, no neon underglow (initially), and limited engine tuning. Considering Rockstar had once perfected street-racing culture, the barebones upgrades in GTA 5 felt like a half-step. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hand Chopper| Free Delivery | COD Available Undo Hand Juicer | Manual Jucier | Free Delivery | COD Available Undo PavBhaji Masher | Free Delivery | COD Available Undo Strech Lids | Free Delivery | COD Available Undo 4. Gambling Minigames From poker in Red Dead Redemption to casinos in San Andreas , Rockstar has dabbled in in-game gambling. Strangely, GTA 5's single-player excluded all of this, even though the Diamond Casino exists in GTA Online. Fans felt shortchanged by the lack of blackjack, slot machines, or any casino gameplay in story mode. Fully Enterable Buildings in GTA 6 5. Fully-Functioning Interiors Earlier games had tons of interiors — fast food joints, gymnasiums, even police stations. GTA 5 locks most of these locations, making Los Santos feel more like a movie set than a lived-in city. It's a baffling step back in terms of immersion and environmental storytelling. Rockstar may have streamlined some of these features for technical or narrative reasons, but fans haven't forgotten. With GTA 6 on the horizon, players are hoping for a return to the depth and variety that once defined the series.
