History GrandTheftAutoV / SinglePlayerTropesNToZ

* NotEnoughToBury

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: What happened to the tennis coach that was sleeping with Amanda? After Michael destroys Martin's house thinking it's his, he's just kind of forgotten. Also, what about Michael's boat?

* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: Solomon Richards references this during his first meeting with Michael. He has his own saying: [[UpToEleven Never work with actors or directors]].

* WhamLine: For fans of GTARadio, this line regarding the host of Fame or Shame, who appears in person soon afterwards.

** Franklin's green-wearing CGF gang is scattered and leaderless. It's so broken-up that Lamar says that they ought to start their own gang (consisting of ''two guys'' named after Forum Street).

* RightForTheWrongReasons: A subject of one of the side missions. Castro's girlfriend is furious at him for cheating on her at a golf course. She's completely wrong -- he's never cheated on her at the golf course, not even once. [[spoiler: He only does it on out-of-town trips!]]

* SceneryPorn: Especially with the upgraded PS4 graphics, there are ''many, many'' locations where the views of the city and country side are spectacular. There is also amazing attention to detail, from readable "Missing Person" notices on power poles or little details like lawn sprinklers turning on in the morning, lifeguards coming to work every morning on their ATVs, NPCs playing full games of Golf by themselves, etc.

* StoryBreadcrumbs: You can pick up a lot of details on the side characters by reading their comments on [=LifeInvader=].

* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: The radio often plays music relevant to the scenes going on at the time - sometimes a ThemeMusicPowerUp when the characters are doing something badass, sometimes just plain oddly underscoring tunes: like Music/{{Chicago}}'s "If You Leave Me Now", while [[spoiler:Trevor brings Patricia back to her husband]], or The Undisputed Truth's "Smiling Faces Sometimes", after [[spoiler:Michael and Trevor have totally broken apart and Franklin is trying to decide who to trust]]. There's also The Alan Parson Project's "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" playing [[spoiler: after Trevor puts Devin Westin in the trunk of his car in the Option C ending]].

* UncannyValley: {{Invoked}} in 'Meltdown'. To simulate the film being shot in front of a green screen, the film is recorded using GTA V's character models in front of GTA IV's lower quality scenery.

** The protagonists can be take damage (or, at least, see their armor decreased) in motor vehicle collisions. They can also be directly killed by gunfire while driving enclosed vehicles, which differs from most GTA games.

* TitleDrop: When switching to Trevor, one of his cutscenes will have him reference the crime of grand theft auto.

** After Tervor [[spoiler:brutally murders Floyd and his wife]], he's covered in tons of blood, which Wade notices. This doesn't stop him from walking right through the Vanilla Unicorn strip club with nobody noticing at all.
