Bike Skills and Stunting

[Madmax]

Now I haven't played GTA:V yet myself as my PS3 is YLOD and there is no PC version but I've been watching videos online and really enjoying them.

The one thing I've noticed is that certain characters have "bike skills". To me, they feel like cheat codes and really take away from videos when I watch them. I've seen a few videos where people drive up vertical walls using one of these skills. It seems a little ridiculous to me.

My point is that I feel like it takes away from videos and if I see it used more than once in a video, unless the rest is mind blowing, I normally get bored and stop watching. GTA:V has also brought a lot of attention to this place, although I like the publicity and the growing community (I've been stunting for a looooong time now (Since Decan)) I am afraid that the quality of videos will be diluted by these abilities and such.

I'm not lashing out against them, I just want to hear pro and con arguments about the abilities that might make me see them under a different light. As I've said. I have yet to play GTA:V (I know, its really sad)

I actually always sort of fancied the fact it wasn't a huge community, it's still not a small one either. That said, as far as those abilities go[I haven't played the game myself too yet], I think, if people are gonna find spots that will work with those abilities well enough, stunts are gonna turn out great, that will come as time goes on I guess... same applies to taxi boosting, people just evolved the stunting and took the usage of the method to a higher and higher level.

What are these abilities of which you speak?

Slow-mo?

For me, I only use the ability when I have to. Where it would otherwise be impossible without it.

An example of the difference the ability can make:

Dammit max this was in the online discussion 

I more or less agree with Simon, it can be cool for some stunts that wouldn't be possible otherwise but I don't think it should be over used *it will be though*

I hate that slowmo, that's why I always stunt online. I've made some stunts that are hard without the slowmo, people will just get them done with the slowmo once it'll be released..
