The core missions are now produced in incredible detail and scope, with well-produced acting, animation, and pacing, the missions are larger than ever and often include large cinematic moments that rival modern action films, while the side content is expanded to include not only activities found in cities but also rural and coastal areas around the Los Santos such as racing, hunting, fishing and many more. Since GTA 5 has expanded the number of protagonists to three, the number of available missions, side content, and the “sandbox” events that players can experience during the play has also dramatically increased. Originally introduced with their standalone prologues and adventures, the paths of these three characters converge, and they form a tight bond during their new criminal life. Set in the sunny city of Los Santos (fictionalized Los Angeles) and the surrounding territory in the early 2010s, the game follows the adventures of not one but three main protagonists who are all connected to different kinds of criminal underground worlds - Michael De Santa (a high-end retired bank robber who is nostalgic for his adventurous path), Trevor Philips (unhinged redneck who has fully accepted his life will forever be tied to violence and crime) and Franklin Clinton (young and up-and-coming street gangster who wants to secure a better life for himself and his family).
