Jung Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I've been lurking for a while and there are some great topics on here. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the possibility of schools, like the driving / flying / bike schools in SA. I'm in a bit of a mixed opinion on it, part of me enjoyed the challenges, but then part of me couldn't be bothered to go through the ones I had to, such as flying school. What do people reckon, will they be in the game, and is it a good idea or a pain in the ass? Sorry if it's been discussed, tried searching but it's disabled.

ceedot Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Definately a pain in the ass. They will most likely put it in though.... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 At some point it was, I'm sure. I passed all of them, not too hard, really, but there certainly were ones like the 5 tight laps on the coned off course, or doing the wheel stands in the allotted space and time... TOUGH! Not impossible. The boat one was somewhat the easiest Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingHigh Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The schools were to build up your skills more than anything. But I'm pretty sure the weapon and driving skill things are all removed from GTAIV, so driving schools might not have any place. Other than to unlock a new car maybe.

MA3LK Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 i liked the schools in SA especially the driving school cause of the challenge to do the PIT maneuver and the one where you had to park between the two cars parallel parked.

V1ce C1ty Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The drivng and motorbike schools were good, but with the dodgy plane controlls in sa i found that bit annoying. But... no planes in gta 4, maybe helicopter school . Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I have no idea about a weapon school.... You learned those skills by using various weapons Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jung Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yea I think they're good to learn certain skills, but I don't think you really learned anything from them that benefited you in the game past the third or so challenge, that you wouldn't have learned from playing the game anyway. I mean who really used the PIT manoeuvre once they'd learnt it? I suppose it does add a few hours of game play though, it just frustrated me on the ones you had to do before progressing Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebness Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 ...and there are some great topics on here.... Hah.. Hope they return for side missions, not for the storyline. The parachute one was king, done it so many times. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runey Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Like ceedot said, they are a major pain in the ass in San Andreas. I really hope they won't be part of the storyline.

*C-Note* Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If there will be flying schools,then I will buy myself a extra keyboard...Just in case My keyboard suffered painful death after the 20th try...

BobbyUK Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 good topic, I had completely forgot about them, I think giving Nico the whole military background thing is an attempt to cut corners and therefore taking schools out of the game as with all leveling up activities. I actually didnt mind them, except the flying ones which i have obviously repressed as they broke my soul that much Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krashdown Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yeah they were fun in San Andreas, But i don't think they should make a return just yet. Because the development could be put into more important things. If there are any sort of schools in this i can Imagine Jack thompson saying that GTAIV is a school shooting Simulator, or some sh*t like that. he will look like a real idiot then!

Lega_c Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I dont think they should make a return due to the fact that r* said niko already knew most of his skills Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310329-schools/#findComment-1057468681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw_X Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yea I think they're good to learn certain skills, but I don't think you really learned anything from them that benefited you in the game past the third or so challenge, that you wouldn't have learned from playing the game anyway. I mean who really used the PIT manoeuvre once they'd learnt it? I suppose it does add a few hours of game play though, it just frustrated me on the ones you had to do before progressing Whenever i was chasing someone, I used it all the time. Even on cars i just was playing around with. I found it to be the most usefull lesson in Driving School.

andylovesGTA Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 whats up with everyone saying flying school was hard? driving school was the hard one for me. (I completed it last, after "end of the line", I was happy for "bonus" missions) anyways, Niko is said to have "military" trained, so he might already know how to control certain vehicles.
