I was assigned a task for my college course that involved completing important units. One of the requirements was to analyze a video game by creating a script and capturing footage from YouTube. Utilizing my pre-existing skills and acquiring new ones, I produced a high-quality video and established an efficient workflow that adhered to the guidelines provided in the assignment.

Drawing upon the skills I had previously acquired and actively learning new ones, I embarked on creating a professional video and establishing a streamlined workflow that aligned with the assignment's specifications. Throughout the process, I honed my abilities in video editing, scriptwriting, content creation, and research, ensuring a comprehensive analysis of the chosen video game.

Narrator: “Rockstar Games took many options to enhance the playability of GTA 5, For most of their assets they used a LOD system which stands for Level Of Detail. As well as using Streaming Technology to render the current part of the world you are currently using. Just like every game, Rockstar took their time to optimize client and network code before publishing the game.”

Narrator: “There have been several controversies surrounding GTA 5 since its release. Players have stated that violence is an issue because of its graphic depictions of violence, including the fact players could kill innocent bystanders.

Another contentious issue is sex and nudity, which has led to calls for the game to be banned or severely censored in various nations, Particularly the way women are portrayed in a mission where the player has sex with a prostitute has drawn criticism.

Usage of drugs Several critics have claimed that the game's depictions of drug usage, which allow players to both consume and sell drugs, could encourage drug use and glamorize the drug trade.

GTA 5's online multiplayer mode has also generated controversy due to some players' inappropriate actions and obscene language.”

Narrator: “Some players utilize mods to give themselves an unfair edge in the game, such as making oneself invincible or having endless resources available to them. This could ruin the game for other players and reduce everyone's enjoyment of it.

This isn't even the scariest part; Certain mods have the ability to compromise the security of the game and the data of other users by breaking into the game's code.

While invincibility is annoying and unfair, Certain mods have the potential to introduce bugs into the game, leading to freezes, crashes, or other problems that could render the game unplayable.

The online multiplayer feature of GTA 5's modding community has generated a lot of controversies since some users use the mods to annoy or harm other players. More policing of the game's regulations and moderation have been demanded due to this.

Rockstar Games has taken a number of actions to address these problems, such as altering the game's code to exclude specific types of mods and banning users who are caught hacking or cheating. Some gamers contend that these controls are insufficient and that the game's modding community needs to be more strictly supervised and regulated. The modding scene for GTA 5 continues to be divisive, with proponents and opponents expressing their views.”
