When GTA 5 Took On Zuckerberg and Won - Art of the Level

GTA 5 Took On Zuckerberg in one of its best, most satirical missions, but the real target was Michael and interactivity.

Friend Request is an early storyline mission in Grand Theft Auto 5. Tutorials are behind us, but Trevor hasn't joined the team yet. Retired crook Michael De Santa is in deep trouble, so he turns to his old accomplice Lester for help. The software enthusiast seems willing to set up a new job, but first he needs Michael to blow open the walled garden that is Jay Norris’s skull.
GTA’s legendary, long campaigns demand frequent changes of pace, and cooldown character studies like Friend Request offer a different kind of exploration than open-world adventure.

Trekking through trauma, wandering through wounded pride, we’re given space to dig beneath the skin of the people we embody and understand what drives them. This is the art of the level for Grand Theft Auto 5.
