What pleasantly surprised you about GTAV?

This game is absolutely incredible, but there were 3 things that really surprised me in a pleasant way.

1- Melee. I NEVER get tired of knocking people out. Strangely enough, this is FAR more satisfying than shooting people. I just wish I could disable police AI so that I could run around punching people out for as long as I could.

The ragdoll physics and punch animation both combine to give you a great feel of physical confrontation. It's one of the more difficult things to achieve in a video game, and I never expected it to be this good.

 

2- Flying. The large jumbo jets in particular give you a great sense of size and weight. I actually enjoy flying these larger aircraft quite a bit more than the smaller planes, and DEFINATELY way more than helicopters.

The cinematic view while flying these behemoths is SPECTACULAR, which brings me to the 3rd thing that surprised me.

 

3- Graphics. I don't know how ANYONE could say anything negative about the graphics. This game is at it's visual best when viewing large areas from long distances. Most of the negative comments always seem to have the dreaded "High End PC" comparisons attached to them, which is ridiculously unfair.

 

Well, these are only 3 of the many things I found to be BETTER than I expected them to be. What were some of the things that YOU found to be better than YOU expected them to be?

What surprised me the most was what you found a character doing when you switch.

 

My favorite... I switched to Trevor to find him on a mountain, drunk, wearing a flower print dress, complaining about aliens.

What pleasantly surprised me, is that the cars driving mechanics weren't as bad as it was looking in the leaked gameplay video I watched before playing it, but unfortunately the bikes ones, were.

Lol, this is ALSO great. Trevor is DEFINATELY the best of the 3. The best moments were finding him throwing up into a public fountain. There were actually chunks of brown vomit floating in the fountain afterwards and switching to him JUST as he was finishing masturbating into the toilet. He actually wiped his hand on the wall as he turned around to leave.
