The characters themselves look fantastic, with more facial detail and facial animations as well as higher resolution textures across their wardrobes. There's more pedestrians on the streets, making the world feel more alive. Even the animals have softer fur and there's more species to boot.

Surprisingly, however, hardly any of it is empty. There’s small towns, unique buildings, military bases and more sprinkled throughout. The incredible thing is how alive it all seems. Off one of the back roads, for instance, I noticed a car pull over at a fruit stand and decided to see if it was a coincidence, but nope -- a woman got out, walked up to it and examined the produce. That’s level of detail to expect in the world, from the boardwalks with interactive rides to trains carving through mountain passes. To add some spice for players who like to drive around exploring the world, random events have been added that unfold during a day. Represented by a flashing blue blip on the map that appears when nearby, these range from a thief snatching a purse to a carjacking.

Of course, one of the aspects this series is most renowned for is its music.

I’m worried that the same sense of loss immersion during my demo of XING will be applied to Grand Theft Auto, or other violent games released in the future, by the mainstream press, who already have a history of blowing video game violence out of proportion. GTA V on Oculus Rift won't make any person more violent, and it definitely won’t cause any deaths, but it does make the act of playing a violent game a lot harder to defend.

The Altruist Cult actually has very little impact on the game. There is an option, when playing as Trevor, to bring random event characters to the Altruists' hideout in the mountains.

Beginning with Grand Theft Auto IV 's 'The Lost and Damned' DLC, players weren't quite sure what Rockstar Games was up to with its spinoff content.

Speaking of Geralt, let’s talk about some RPG tropes. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn’t the only one guilty of this, but it’s my most recent example.
