Something Else You Can Do in The GTA Series Other Than Just Missions and Rampage

Do you like GTA series game but finished all of the missions and got nothing to do? Tired of mindless rampage and killing? Tired of doing mini-missions? Played it and finished the missions so many times that you got sick of doing the same old thing over and over? Well then, this is the thing you can do to have fun doing something else in Grand Theft Auto games.

- Is there anything to do in the game other than missions and mindless rampage and killing?

Yes, of course, you just have to use your creativity to find what you can do for fun. First of all, I know there aren’t a lot but for the people who don’t know what the Grand Theft Auto is, it is an award winning video-game series developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It’s a freeroam Action/Adventure/Racing/(Occasional)Role-Playing genre game. Most of the series contain explicit language and of course, violence. Since the first original Grand Theft Auto game, violence has been the main thing people did for fun but it eventually got boring so Rockstar added stunt objectives and other objectives so that things get a little more interesting but that too, got old too fast. So, the gamers themselves, started trying something new, something different and fun. People started using the ramps Rockstar put for us and started landing on places that weren’t meant to be landed, people started crossing the line and started finding their own source of fun. In this case, people started taking stunts to a new level and they stayed dedicated to this source of fun and eventually discovered different methods, going from default ramps to something more and better. Grand Theft Auto stunting was discovered. A few people started recording these stunts in action and uploaded them to Youtube, many people started following these stunters and that formed different stunting communities dedicated to make quality videos for the fun of it and to meet new people this way. The stunting varies from GTA III to the latest released Grand Theft Auto game, GTA IV. The stunting communities have been up for years and stunting has rapidly evolved and is definatly not the same as it was when people first started doing it and it’s still progressing. 

Video examples of the progression:

- Early era of stunting (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas)

Year: 2005

- Current era of stunting (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas)

Year: 2009


- Notice how Juan is in here, the guy from the early era of stunting videos, he’s one of the veterans in this game now.

- Early era of stunting (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City)

Year: 2005-2006

- Current era of stunting (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City/Liberty City map modification for Vice City)

Year: 2009

- Current era of stunting (Grand Theft Auto: IV)

Year: 2009

Overall, it’s pretty fun doing this in GTA games, it’s pretty fun meeting new friends and sharing stunts and showing it to each other ect.
