The myth of Bigfoot has existed since the launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas all the way back in 2004 - with many fans still speculating whether or not the myth is actually true in the game's universe. This, however, has all changed in Gta 5 New Radio Stations V as Bigfoot has been proven to exist on not one, but two different occasions.


"I'm not unaware of who I am as I play—Trevor's hands are covered in scrapes and tattoos, etc.—but I feel disconnected from the characters in a way that I actually like.

Rockstar remains one of the classic innovators of gaming, letting loose an expansive, free-form-mission mentality that would pioneer the success of the "open-world" genre. Grand Theft Auto is the crown jewel of that kingdom. It’s an international phenomenon and one of the most important game series of all time. With Grand Theft Auto V , Rockstar made the biggest open world of its kind, but despite its commercial success, the developer is simply giving into its own very hazardous addiction. Grand Theft Auto V simply exacerbated the recurring issue that has been plaguing the series since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , an issue that is continuing to drain the studio’s credibility in making top-shelf open world games.

The golden tree plays no role in the game’s story-line; leaving many to believe that it may in fact be related to another easter egg within the game. The most common connection that players have found has been the Mount Chiliad Mystery - although nothing can be official confirmed until the mystery is solved. Other players in the community have even suggested that the tree may be a glitch as areas such as the Grand Senora desert have bushes that appear gold at night.


I can understand using a Facebook campaign for, say, unlocking a code that, in turn, unlocks a specific car in the game. (After all, Electronic Arts has an exclusive on the Porsche license .) Or, maybe, a code that unlocks some sort of in-game bonus -- currency, perhaps. But advertising? For that matter, not just advertising, but advertising that was always going to run on television regardless of what happened with the Facebook campaign. I honestly can't understand why anyone would bot

My initial response was what I had expected. Seeing the player’s movements translate directly to the screen had me clamoring to see when and how I could get my hands on the Virtuix Omni , but when the player entered a convenience store, things turned much, much darker. The player then goes on to threatening and killing the clerk as well as many passersby outside of the store.

There’s something eerie about literally walking into a store, looking down the sights of a gun and into the eyes of a store clerk, even if it is all virtual. It immediately creates a narrative between assailant and victim that wasn’t there when viewing the game through the window of a TV screen. He's no longer an Apu-esque caricature, and it’s my personal choice whether to kill him or not. The screams of nearby civilians immediately following the gunshots solidified the terror perpetrated by player actions in my mind. I was, and even thinking about it days after initially seeing it still am, deeply disturbed.

Epic Games recently announced that they'll be releasing all of the maps from the Horde Command Pack, as well as two old school maps from the original Gears of War , as free DLC for Gears of War 3 later this month.
