mcstupidfun Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 R* gave a lot of attention to the northern half of Algonquin, but little to the southern half. SoHo, Downtown, Meatpacking District, etc should have been more significant in the game. I really wanted a safehouse in SoHo a its one of the most distinct and interesting parts of Manhattan. Structure and density wise, downtown was captured better than midtown and it would have been great to have more reasons to be in those areas. There are few stores, attractions and missions in that area. Even Ray sends you uptown while he is in Little Italy.

derek3056 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Alderny is rather un-eventful. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/355565-areas-that-should-have-gotten-more-attention/#findComment-1058220393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFire Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Alderny is rather un-eventful. Which is a shame, it's such a dense, detailed area. My favorite island.

mahatmahatma Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Yeah, Alderney was under-utilized. Parts of Korea Town and the denser parts of western Alderney are nicely done, they just don't feature at all in the game.

mcstupidfun Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I just hit Alderney the other day and with my expectations before hand, it being based on NJ, and nothing to make me immediately say 'wow', I did a mission, put the Patriot at the safehouse, and went back to Algonquin. I've only gone back for Stevie's cars and Derrick's missions.

Snake Without a Tongue Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 R* does this with every game. Create beautiful environments and then never use them. I was hoping since the map was smaller they would take advantage. Maybe DLC... etc. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/355565-areas-that-should-have-gotten-more-attention/#findComment-1058220539 Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek3056 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 About the only thing that I thought was cool about Alderny were the sunsets. Oh, and maybe the fat Italian guys in track pants.

.Ryan. Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) I feel Alderney wasn't used to its full potential aswell. One thing that bugs me is how R* treated it like a separate borough/city, but it merely does just feel like a borough to LC, and not independant as originally thought (They could've given Alderney their own police department). Plus there's very few enterable interiors there.

Mike0 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 We need to cut Rockstar some slack. This was their first x360/ps3 GTA. New engine, new Euphoria engine, new everything. One thing is for sure, the next GTA will have less bugs, run smoother and will have improved everything. Thats what we can be happy for.
