Why can't a game capture the feel of a real ghetto

...Isn't it obvious? confused.gif

When you're in a bad enough neighborhood, you may start fearing for your life. There is no "Load a pre-saved game" in real life. You die, and that's it. And you know it. You could be hurt in a number of ways, and feel real pain. You can't feel pain in a videogame, and you can't truly die in a videogame. It won't be possible to make it feel genuine unless some groundbreaking technology plugs you into the game so that you can feel pain and die in real life (Which would be illegal anyway)

 

The only possible thing Rockstar could do is make it very easy to die. But even then, you can appear back at a hospital good as new.

 

But since GTA characters tend to be unstoppable badasses, you won't feel scared in a ghetto. Unless you have some f*cking mental disorder.

When I was in the Baltimore ghetto I bought a CD from some guy selling them from the back of his truck with his friends. Do you think features like this will be included in GTA IV?

yah i want to feel that i have to keep a spaz shotgun on me at all times.. the feeling of fear at dark in an alleyway.. worrying about having shoes with the crack heads wanting anything to steal to get some money for drugs.. i want to feel like someone is gonna take my vehicle so i drive fast.. and lastly i want to feel like i just might be murdered that second in the dark..

Items sold from trucks frequently happen in NYC (whether its DVD's, watches, or pocketbooks). The cops sometimes raid the places that sell these things though, and lock the stores up, and arrest the dealers.

But i don't think this will happen in GTA4. Though I do think that drug trafficking may happen in the harbor docks.

let's not be stupid now.

 

I'm just talking about the general atmosphere. nobody should actually feel uneasy in a video game. I'm saying make the hood feel like the hood.. not just a building labeled a housing project where the area doesn't look much diffeerent from the rest of the city.

Oh. The CD was actually good for a rap CD. It cost 5$. I still don't remember how we ended up meeting these people at around midnight anyway.

Haha, yeah. If I could carry a revolver, shotgun, m4, chainsaw, and rocket launcher while walking around the ghetto, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit uneasy.

We're all acting like jackasses because we have a vendetta against people who type in Ebonics? I think that pretty much covers it.

Grow the f*ck up. You cant be over the age of 15, and if you are, you are pretty sad and ignorant.

yeah but if you don't use cheats, when you die you lose all your weapons you worked hard for and cant get them back. (unless this is VCS, which was stupid). you shouldn't feel scared but you should feel frantic, like you don't want to be there because it's more dangerous than other areas and you will lose all your sh*t.

 

I read some where that shots "thunder" which is going to be nice, i always thought the guns sounded pussy, so that would help.

Where the Jamaicans hang out at, in the real New York? Anyway, yea i agree. When it gets dark and im in a bad part of town, i want to get the feeling that im about to get mugged or somethin. I want to see people gettin jumped, people fightin. But it would be real nice, if we see other people robbin stores and sh*t.

 

Like you walk inside a store, gettin ready to rob it, and next thing you know someone else got the same idea you got, and they run into the place and point a gun at the guy behind the counter. I wanna see some crack heads beggin for money. or a crackhead breakin into a car to steal the radio or some sh*t.

Jamaica Queens,funny because the name has nothing to do with that.But the ghettos in NY aren't super bad they just give you an uneasy feeling by how they look,and mainly the acquired look on people's faces that says "don't mess with me"

I wouldn't mind playing a game based on the real hood, so long as the pretending to not know how to speak good english to be hip wouldn't get to annoying.

please, real NYC ghettos are just areas full of bogus morons trying to recreate the glory days of the 80's. Most of the time you have the porch monkeys sitting on the curb in front of a gas station or on the steps of a PJ drinking with their boys. The real problem is in the actual PJ's, the almond smell and stair wells full of piss so when a cop comes up for a vertical they slip on the piss and fall down the stairs. The crackheads on the roof giving BJ's for crack and then you have the 15-20 year olds who watched their older brothers growing up on the street, and got them involved, so the young ones are now runners since they face no criminal prosecution except for family court. But then you have the wanna be gangstas who are tough on the outside and puzzies on the inside who will walk in groups and once they break up its back inside for bedtime.....but the mother doesnt know about it because she's collecting wellfare and getting a quick fix before her shift at the 2 dollar diner on the corner.....if she's lucky she'll pick up a guy there who will be good for a month and pay some bills and watch her kids for the small price of head and a couple smacks to the old lady so the "man can feel big" ahhh the ghetto....

...No. You can't capture the feel of a REAL bad area just because you "Might lose your weapons"

You can find weapons everywhere in GTA games, and even if they're harder to come by in this one, it's still a game. It's not possible to feel genuinely frightened in a GTA game unless you are a wuss, or just have problems. >_>

 

You can't compare dying in real life to "Losing videogame weapons omgomg"

Wanting a more realistic sim of urban life is perfectly valid (and something I'd like to see) but jeesh... Love your "Ya Can't F__ Wit Me" sig along with the oh so transparent implications of starting a thread like this. sarcasm.gif Everybodys got to (try) and be a tough guy confused.gif Pulling the tough guy gangsta schtic is so obviously just a shallow effort to cover up one's own insecurities, snap out of it, get over yourself.

its the truth. I see it everyday. I use the term porch monkey loosely for these morons becuase they are. I have no compassion for these a$holes who go out and rape, murder, steal from the law abiding citizens. They are all a waste of human life.

 

 

Dont call me racist, my partner, and half the guys I work with are black. ANY one of them would take a bullet for me, and I'd do the same for them in a fvcking heart beat.

 

Savages of the ghetto are on a different level then everyone else.

Sayin "Porch Monkey" is never right.and about people in the ghetto,some do not have the same opportunities as others,NO NOT EVERYONE WAS BORN WITH AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN LIFE.I do not like what they are doing,but some have to do a little bad in order to do good.
