Californian Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm assuming the game's first couple of missions shows you the controls like any other GTA. Do you think Rockstar should disable Online-play for people Until they have completed the required missions? I personally think Yes, because then you know what your doing when online AND You actually play the game itself that R* have been working on for Years.

oanswat Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think that is a great idea. As long as it's not too far into the game. That'd keep the noobs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR33NY-G Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yeah i agree, maybe doing the missions that show u how 2 do the basic stuff then maybe a mission where you buy your first phone then you learn about the multiplayer and unlock it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA_DUDE_69 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I agree that way you actually play the game and get a feel for it before you jump straight into MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californian Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Oh sh*t, i think this MIGHT happen actually! because to go into Online you go thru your cell phone, and Niko doesn't get his cellphone until later in the game (or so i heard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazeLaze Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Intresting point, I'm wondering if you could do multiplayer through the whole map, or just the parts you unlock?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowdro420 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 you start out with a cell phone. you just don't get the cell phone that plays mp3's until later in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikoforpresident Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think you'll HAVE to do the first missions as Multiplayer is accessible thru your Cell Phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californian Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 you start out with a cell phone.you just don't get the cell phone that plays mp3's until later in the game. That's probably it, maybe i heard wrong. But i remember saying that Niko starts out (or gets from friend later in game) with a cheap phone and then you get a Whiz mobile. The Whiz mobile will probably have the Online feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think they should be conservative like that, and force something on people that isn't necessary. If someone really wants to play multiplayer on April 29th (which doesn't sound that unreasonable to me), I think they should be able to. What would it hurt, everything will work itself out.

Sup3rFly Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I dont really think it's needed to stop people playing online till they done a couple of misions. As the only new controls really are the cover controls. And if you dont learn that before you go onlie u get blapped in the head which is yer own fault. I will prob have a bit of praccy and then go online but I dont want to be dictated to how long I have to play before I am allowed online, I have played all previous games and the controls dont seem too much different. Only minor additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlitement Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 That will just cause people to rush unnecessarily through the story mode. I want to make a conscious choice when I play my multiplayer, you damn Nazi. I'd do it only after finishing the singleplayer myself, but let's not force it on others.

tld Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 surely you would have to unlock the areas before playing multiplayer anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAZEL Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Having people get familiar with the controls and the vibe of the game before embarking on the multiplayer part is a great idea. Will prevent quite a few dumb questions from people that have no idea what they're doing, jumping straight into playing online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCheese00 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Brilliant idea, people need to experience the single player game up to a certain point before they jump into online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I agree with the idea that people should complete the tutorial missions before playing online. Everybody then has an equal footing when starting off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvana89 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Who even will think about the online play when you first get this game? I'll probably check on it a little while later but my main focus will be on SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic_Al Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 It makes no sense to access parts of the map through multiplayer that are still locked in single player. There's either no multiplayer till 2/3 or 3/4 of the single-player game is complete, OR, you can only see other players who have unlocked the same areas as you.

BobsYourUncle... Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think this is a pretty good idea, like closing the boroughs until you complete a few missions idea, you will feel you have accomplished something when you do unlock online play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonay_Montana Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 GREAT idea would be awesome that way people dont just go jumping into online play whilst being noobs still. Also it will make so we can all get used to the game first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobert0247 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Great topic. I was thinking about the same thing this morning. I think it would be great if the MP was not open from the beginning at least until after a certain % is passed or some sort of unlocking point is reached. That'd be sweet.

Tarazar Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 nah you guys are nuts!!!!I shouldn't have to wait to unlock parts of the map to experience mplayer with my homies. Why the f*ck should we not have the option to go online right away if one chooses to do so?? I thought this games all about the freedom of choice it would contradict itself if we were forced play splayer before dwelling in mplayer!!! Besides I guess i'm the only one that only really cares about the mplayer experience more than the single player huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwood Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 An excellent idea, but I don't think it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE OTHER OPTION Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Rockstar have confirmed that multiplayer will be open from the start of the game, during your single play you can get your cell out and go to the online multiplayer option... even though it will keep noobs out the multiplayer option will on straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd1408 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 We should not have to unlock multiplayer imgaine having to beat cod4 even tho its really short and easy...just to play online thats just stupid...yea playing the actual game may give people a little more experience but playing online does to...R is never going to have us have to wait for multiplayer that would be extreamly stupid of them...especially for me cuz i want to try the multiplayer before i even play the story...since i already no im going to playing single player for hours and hours and hopefully multiplayer is good enough that i want to play that for hours to...

Don't just say you do, give me an explanation, thanks. because a major part of Online play is pretty much just "jumping in " your not gonna learn how to f*ck up a another player from a npc tutorial your gonna learn from actually getting in the mix and seeing how things really go down with that said im sure rockstar is gonna keep singleplayer and multiplayer separate if im wrong here GT: k1ll3mhard17 you can scream it in my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
