6 Video Game Moments That Make You Feel Like A True Badass

3) First Heist – GTA V

It could be said that most of GTA V makes you feel like a badass. It is the GTA we always wanted, fully realized. That said, nothing in the game made me feel quite as badass as the very first heist you pull off. You knew that the game was leading up to this moment, but the way it all came together was brilliant. Later on in the game, the heists may have gotten more elaborate, but the first jewelry store heist and the subsequent escape through the tunnels was like playing a summer blockbuster.

Plus, I think most of us fantasize about pulling off heists in real life, fully aware that we will never, ever come close to being able do it. It may have been a simple smash and grab, but it played out differently depending on how you chose to go in and how you chose to leave, as well as who you picked to do the job with you. It set the tone for the whole game and from that moment forth, that sense of badassness stayed with you throughoout the entire playtime of GTA V.
