i'm sick of ye

[EpicFailGuy]

ITT people think it's for the best to remove things that could make a great game even better.

[MalR]

Lets get the obvious out of the way, this game will be savage, but R* has taken too many steps back.

 

First of all i understand why there are no planes it makes sense but will someone tell me why there are no parachutes? why there are no custom soundtracks?(if it was on the first xbox how can it not be on the far superior next gen consoles),and now you cant listen to music on your phone which was a great idea.

all i hear from a lot of people here is sh*t like "custom soundtracks would ruin the atmosphere of the game" that is total bullsh*t it's not like they didnt delay the game for 6 months. surely i'm not alone.......am i?

 

if your gona flame me then please give me crystal clear explanations why.

Parachutes are out for realism. What poor eastern European immigrant can get access to parachutes anyway? Custom tracks are out because, to my knowledge, there will be an import/export function that you have to pay for (as much as that sucks).

Unrealistic? I think taking 20 shots to the chest and living is pretty unrealistic too. As is hijacking a battle chopper, then falling 40 feet from it after it explodes and living. Why wouldn't there be parachutes on the chopper anyway? I think it's unrealistic for Liberty City to be a parachute null city.

This post made me laugh. Thanks mate.

I thought the Zit thing was just to buy the music that is already in the game so you can put it on your mp3 player or make a cd. I don't see what Zit has to do with the removal of the custom mp3 feature. Anyway, it doesn't really bother me. It would be cool to be able to create your own mix to listen to on your ingame phone as long as the volume on it is low enough to where it doesn't really disturb hearing the sounds of the city.

[mogwaimon]

Custom soundtrack probably isn't in because at least on the 360 you can stream your own songs anyways. I'm betting that when you stream your song it'll mute the radio as well, so it'd be the same thing.Only reason to program a custom soundtrack feature into the game itself is if it had some bearing on gameplay, like in Def Jam where the music affected the arena.

 

As for parachutes, they probably aren't in because it's New York and there's not much countryside to land in a parachute...also, not many people would parachute out of a helicopter because they get less height than a plane and it's vital to toss the chute higher up in the air to be safe... It just doesn't fit in the atmosphere of the city.

 

San Andreas was full of features and things that didn't fit within the gangbanger atmosphere because there were three diverse cities..anything could happen. Area 69 didn't fit in Los Santos, but it could fit in Los Venturas because of the desert. Parachuting didn't fit with San Fierro, but it did fit with the countryside areas..You've got to understand, Rockstar was not focusing on features this time around, they were focusing on creating a cohesive game world that worked as a playground, but also worked as a serious storytelling device. As this GTA engine evolves, so will the amount of features; don't worry.

[old snake]

Hahahahaha, too many steps back? Get a f*ckin clue mate! Look at the graphics, compare 'em with the III series. Look at what people have been writing about the Euphoria physics system. Read what people say about the atmosphere of LC. Too many steps back? You're bitching about the ability to listen to music and planes?

wrong asshole, i agree the graphics are great but who said anything about that?

by ur statement u'd be happy if the game had just good graphics and euphoria.

and yes i am bitching about not being able to listen to my own songs i have a ps3 and no games that allow custom soundtracks i thought r* would change that but they just want us to pay more for there own songs on that zit thing.

Hey - all I'm saying is you're bitching about minor stuff without looking at the big picture. I feel I have to defend R*. After all, they've put all this work into making a great game. Go read all the boring ( ) interviews with R* reps where they describe the amount of work people have put into this game. But no, there's no new screens or new features revealed so f*ck it. You can't see the wood for the trees mate. And hell no, Euphoria and graphics would not make the game for me. Do you want me to list the endless amount of features Rockstar have implemented to make this game a winner? Atmosphere, ambient sound, story line, character depth, a new weight to the world, an overall brilliant feeling to the game. Little things like listening to music on your cell and planes being removed should not warrant criticism of R*.

look man i understand what your saying and for the record this game will be ground breaking, i dont care about planes but i've never played a game that let you listen to your own tunes i was sure that this would be the game to do it if R* went to so much trouble why not go an inch further for perfection?

Meh.. I'm being a bit too heated.

 

Although it sounds crazy, R* aint Jesus. They can't do everything. I believe planes were left out cause they couldnt get them to work up to par with what we expect of a next gen game. Music on foot is out cause they want us to experience the true atmosphere of the game. I have no doubts that we'll see planes in future GTA games.

[doodlydoo]

So the point of this thread is to complain just because of parachutes and not being able to listen to music?

To Op I'm sick of ya complaining about little things like this. The games going to be great Enjoy it. your whining isn't going to change rockstar's mind.

If your going to complain then simply don't buy the game.

[Soton]

Useless thread # 5,456,492,120,458,385,375. useless post # infinity.

[goldsoundz]

I didn't even know that they cut out the custom sountrack feature. That's kind of lame, but believe me, everything else is going to be so right with this game that I won't care. I'm sure the music, commercials, and talk stations will all be a pleasure to listen to over and over again.

finally some who sees my point without an attitude.

and as for you doodlydoo why dont u want the best that gta iv can be?

[shadoolaw]

 

Parachutes are out for realism. What poor eastern European immigrant can get access to parachutes anyway?

Helicopters should be out for realism. What poor eastern European immigrant can get access to helicopters anyway?

 

 

old snake, I feel you. I didn't even know they took the phone idea out, that was great. Parachutes being taken out was a completely unnecessary decision. Something tells me you're not even going to be able to fly as high as even the San Andreas limit, and it will be like Vice City which was something that really bothered me.

 

I'm not really irked at custom soundtracks though... since you can stream music from the Xbox dashboard.

The reason they wouldn't let you fly too high is because you'd see how small the map really is.

 

One of the previews pointed out how small Algonquin looked when he was up in a helicopter in the game.

 

That's the reason there aren't any planes. It would be pointless. They'd move across the map almost instantly.

[GTATottenham]

Huh? Who said we cant listen to music on the phone anymore? Someone please tell me.

Ah. Well parachutes and custom soundtracks dont really bother me but that one sucks.

[Jonny04]

Moron posts again. You might find they have done you at least the favour of adding custom soundtracks to a separate channel so it sounds like the music is the right amplitude in relation to the rest of the World, if they did that it would be great. We don't need the DJs, but for you kid and your oh so important radio you might find if you use the dashboard music system it'll be done in relation to the other sounds of the city and cars, guns, etc ambient noise.

 

Also its Amazon moron not R* who make the money from the songs, and a portion of that goes to the rights for the singer etc. There may be a small percentage to R* but a song costing $0.50 how much of that goes to R* not alot. They ain't gonna make their money from that. Think a little

[YouFatStinkyPoo]

Half the fans say "omg ppl dnt eva jump out of paracutes n jump dwn 2 city below!!!11 hav u ever seen sm1 jump onto the emprie state buliding lol" and the other half say "lts hav dinozaurs n space ships".

 

The fact of the matter is that you need to get the right balance between fun and realism and R* obviously think that parachutes are a tad bit too unrealistic. Also, you have the metro on the game so there's no need for airplanes.

[libertycity's finest]

blah de fuken blah

[Angelspunishment]

Parachutes are out because I live in NYC and never once in my life have i seen anyone, let alone an eastern-european immigrant, parachute from the sky.

What about that guy that just tried to jump from the Empire State Building recently?

[YouFatStinkyPoo]

Does anyone think 9/11 may have something to do with the airplanes?

*Runs and hides for cover*

[DQ_4944]

Stop complaining

You will play it anyway.

[Calum]

If they think it's best, it's their choice. I'll play whatever, as long as I know it's going to be the greatest game ever

just turn off the volume on your tv and play the stereo! there you go....custom soundtrack

[wafflemaster]

I suspect the decision to drop 'chutes from the game was more to do with attention to actions and consequences, rather than the realistic probability of raining immigrants in downtown Liberty City. As fun as bailing out of a chopper might be, perhaps R* would prefer you to think about dealing with your current predicament, rather than just leaping to safety !!

[theAudiologist]

No music on my cell and no planes!?

 

Who the f*ck cares?

 

 

[Elsparko]

Then again, you can always make the greatest statement of disapproval and -

 

NOT BUY THE GAME.

 

Give 'em the world, they want the galaxy. Give 'em the galaxy, they want the universe. Give 'em the universe, they bitch about parachutes and planes that used to be in the world.

 

I have a funny feeling that every person who whines, moans, and nitpicks will still be parting with their cash on the 29th.

 

Not liking a change or omission is one thing, but to hammer the point into the ground is pretty childish. Besides, and I've said this before, none of us really know what we're in for when the game comes out. We have some screenshots, a handful of videos and an OXM review to go by. If you're letting a videogame have even the SLIGHTEST affect on your mood, then you need serious help.

Stfu, if people want to discuss what they dont like they can. If people dont like certain things then thats their problem but who are you to say people need 'serious help' because they think the game isnt perfect. Prick.

[Algonquin Assassin]

Does anyone think 9/11 may have something to do with the airplanes?

*Runs and hides for cover*

Maybe, but I think it's got to do with the fact that flying a plane in Liberty City wouldn't be very efficient.

 

Where are you supposed to land? Middle Park?

 

There's not wasted space like in SA.

 

As for parachutes 4 out of the 5 GTA III era games never had them, and they were still fun.

 

Also I agree with the person above that the people who whinge about this stuff will still buy it.

Well i understand this guy, R* why did you get another six months to work on the game but remove awesome features like, Parachutes, Custom Soundtracks and Planes. Who cares about that much realism people have parachutes in helicopters don' they, maybe not all helicopters but some. So now when our chopper is on fire and we have six stars we ditch the chopper in the air its instant death!!! Well i would like to make my own soundtracks full of System of a Down and Rage Against The Machine, but no i'll have to listen to what you give us over and over again it will get really boring after a while. And finally WHY NO PLANES huh? Who cares if its in a city and i would love to fly around that city fast enjoying the view, its going to suck doing it in a helicopter going slow and all having to slowly rise to make it over a building. Well thats what i have to say about R*. I was just about to make a topic about this....
