xNamexTakenx Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I went inside the Jefferson Motel for the first time. It's pretty stupid, because you can't do anything inside! IMO, it's pretty pointless. Don't you think? Sure there's a Sprunk vendor inside, but that's too boring! I know it's where the mission Reuniting The Families takes place, but why lol? It would be cool if there was a save point in there. What's the point of having an interior, if there's nothing to do inside?

gtamodder Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I agree, I always wondered why there was nothing to do inside. I only went there once, then I never went back in .

AceOfDeath666 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 i heard that if u go in there at night, plant a satchel in every room, spin around 3 times and detonate them, CJ's mom will come out and give u a cookie!

Shame, really, 'cause it would've been nice to go up there and pick a fight with them every now and then. It's not just after CJ takes the harvester. They're nowhere to be seen if you visit the farm before that mission. I agree, it would be more fun if they were there all the time and if the other places were occupied all the time, not just during missions.

Grand Theft Grandpa Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yeah, those survivalists...They clearly took it very hard when CJ jacked their harvester. Went completely underground. Shame, really, 'cause it would've been nice to go up there and pick a fight with them every now and then. Man, I heard that!! It`d also be nice to have the actual military guys patrolling Area 69 full-time too, not just idiot cops showing up if you intrude. I`d like to see more "forbidden" places, sort of like the military base in VC. Except that Tommy V. was alright going in there as long as he was wearing the police uniform. I want a place (or several) that must be entered with guns blazing and/or great stealth to survive, with no valid or safe way to enter. Back on topic, the motel is great for the mission, but otherwise pretty worthless. There`ve been quite a few threads in past about this idea...lots of buildings and space with relatively little to do. Those of us who`ve played the GTA series extensively have lamented the fact that alot of the space in GTA cities is "wasted". That`s true to a certain extent, but maybe R* can address that in GTA 4, given newer and more powerful hardware to work with. Having said all of that, I still love San Andreas and Vice City, and give R* credit for making such great games. There isn`t much I`d change about them, even if I could.

!!GC!! Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 One thing i never understood about that mission was why the Special Weapons And Tactics team shows up. It isnt like they are doing anything illegal, are they. The police should have no business with the gang trying to 'get back on its feat' @NameTaken Like someone else said, there are loads of interiors that dont really mean anything or help you in any way, the hotel is used for the mission and IMO its a great place to have that mission. Dont understand why they would do it on Balla territory though....

Steve Crook Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 @2Gee69: They couldn't have the meeting on any GSF turf, it had to be somewhere "neutral" as far as the GSF are concerned and the Jefferson is the nearest suitable place that isn't on any GSF turf. Yes, it's in Ballas territory, but gang bangers aren't renowned for being the cleverest of people @!!GameCH33TA!!: Maybe it was the Ballas that told the SWAT team that there was a gang meeting happening there. Maybe the Ballas didn't fancy tackling the GSF themselves Steve Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311244-jefferson-motel/?do=findComment&comment=1057490617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0mfg0rz Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Reuniting the Families is one of my favorite missions, So I quite enjoy revisiting the crime scene However would be cool if there was a save point or something in there, But you can always edit the locations of the save points on PC I think (think I read it on the chain game).

I read somewhere that Houser said no space would be wasted in GTA IV - but I reckon he probably meant there would be no "grey" areas at the outskirts of the map. OT: The main reason I'm a little annoyed at the motel, and for that matter the atrium-building where CJ and Smoke face the russians, is that these interiors are so large. If it was just a little shack, fair enough. But the size of the interior should have meant there was something to do there. Arguably there is little to do at Madd Dog's too, but at least we have some videogames and a room for working out. One last thing I'm pissed at in this context: Why can't you enter the holiday inn-style motel where you meet up with The Truth and Tenpenny? And the diner where you meet Catalina? These should have been permanently "enterable" interiors, IMO.

You'd think it would give CJ a boost if anything It is meant to give CJ a boost. And does, if your health is less than 100. But usually by that time one has either done the ambulance mission or just gotten health+ naturally, and it's easy to get that far in that mission without taking much, if any, damage. The problem is that they made it set CJ's health to 100 regardless of his current health.
