PatrickFaustin Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Wouldnt it be nice to have some sort of inventory besides for weapons? Just imagine, every time you kill a ped or anybody, you can press a certain button and it brings up their inventory. This would have the money, weapons, and ammo instead of strange orange and green light circles. Their inventory could also have watches, phones, and other expensive stuff. You could take these valuables and sell them in various pawn shops around the city or better yet, WEAR THEM. Any pedestrian hats, watches, glasses, shoes, jackets, whatever. You would be able to wear any of that instead of only like 3 clothing shops in a gigantic city. This also means that rockstar could have rare items and unlockables that you could find in peoples inventories and you could even have containers in your safehouses to store weird or valuable items that you may find. This can open up the possibility of pickpocketing in the crowds. An entire new criminal activity added to a game about criminal activity who doesnt want more crimes they can do??

Omnia sunt Communia Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ideas like this belong in the pinned Your Ideas/wish list topic. There are already multiple threads about various things like weapons, equipment and whatever else you wish to carry in your character's dress suit pocket.

PatrickFaustin Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) well, whats in this section that ISNT an idea about the next gta? If the pinned thread covers that, then just get mad at everybody that doesnt post there. you cant run a forum where the stickies cover every topic until theres nothing left to post about in the normal threads?

ZayDaGawd Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 That doesnt sound like a good idea. Just dumb. Whats wrong with the way they're doing it now? Oh wait, NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanViking Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I for one, love the idea of inventory and pickpocketing. The old scroll through items system is becoming dated. Surely you guys played Oblivion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seachmall Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 That doesnt sound like a good idea. Just dumb.Whats wrong with the way they're doing it now? Oh wait, NOTHING. He's giving an opinion, no need to be a prick. I think it presents too much of a RPG element, which I don't like. I do, however, want items other than weapons.

Tony Mozzarelli 80 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I think it sounds like a pretty good idea actually. Depends what kind of stuff you could pick up though. Maybe if you could kill dealers and steal their stash and then go and sell it on, that might be pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanViking Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 San Andreas had flowers, dildos, night vision goggles, and all kinds of stuff. The point still stands that the old scroll through weapons system becomes more dated every year. Pickpocketing would be awesome (I don't like having to murder people for their money) And the ability to take clothes from people is cool too, ever played Hitman?

GTASIX Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) I like the idea. If you rob a rich guy then you get a rolex and an iphone and if its a poor guy then you get a sh*t watch and a regular phone that you can sell And then there could be drugs, like bags of coke bags of weed, anything that you can sell on to other peds. EDIT When peoples hats fell off in IV I wanted to pick them up Edited July 6, 2009 by GTASIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanViking Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I'd also enjoy it if we could mug people, and stores too... We haven't been able to rob stores since Vice City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seachmall Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Mugging people without killing them and selling useless sh*t to fences might be interesting. But, again, very RPGish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickFaustin Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 I do agree that my idea is pretty RPG-like and i definitely agree that that's not the direction rockstar needs to take, but keep in mind that having your own house, making plot choices, being able to change clothes, and managing relationships with people is RPGish as well, and that was included...

Seachmall Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 True, I guess to keep that playability there must be some form of RPGesqueness. Maybe it could work, I'd like to see them implement it to see how it plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickFaustin Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 I just think it would be cool to find rare items and show people online. It would also be cool to see everyone's customized outfits (no homo). I could just imagine myself driving on the street, keeping an eye on the sidewalk for a cool hat i might be willing to kill for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with your idea it would be funny to see what peds have in their pockets besides money and guns maybe a pack of cigarettes and their wallet and other stuff it would be funny if like in Fallout 3 you could put a grenade in their pocket while pickpocketing.

ScotchMouth Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I am not sure how pickpocketing would work but robbing a NPC could very well be interesting. The inclusion of Pawn Shops would be neat and a good way to make money very early in the game. I also like the idea of rare items. Perhaps a cell phone or piece of clothing. If the drugs were incorporated in the NeXt edition than it gives us a new element that i agree would add a lot of depth. Things like this idea are nice. It caters to people that like this amount of depth (there seems to be a good number) and its optional to people that dont like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunr Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 That doesnt sound like a good idea. Just dumb.Whats wrong with the way they're doing it now? Oh wait, NOTHING. I think it's a really good idea. sure there's nothing wrong with how it is now, but it would be better if you could take more than money and guns and choose it all from an inventory list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickFaustin Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 If rockstar actually added pickpocketing, i would imagine that they would make it more like assassins creed, not oblivion or fallout. you would just hold B to stick your hand out and you would walk in close and take 1 randomly selected item from their pocket with a certain chance of getting caught. In the event of getting caught, you would get one star probably. two for a mugging or robbery. That would be much better than sneaking up behind them and picking the items from a list like oblivion. Assassins creed-style pickpocketing would fit gta better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmericanTitties Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 great idea, but what would be the point of these items? i can see the point of a new cellphone, people's clothing, or drugs (if u can sell them). but what would you do with watches and other random crap other than sell them? also, i like the assasin's creed pickpocketing idea. more realistic in my mind then oblivion's pickpocketing system.

visionist Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Pickpocketing is long overdue. Making it a "reflex" type command like starting a car once you've smashed the window and entered it is the best idea for sure. It adds an element of skill and uncertainty to the feature. Think Gears Of War reloading style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickFaustin Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 "gears of war reloading style" Rockstar better read this thread because i like how it's developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainland Marauder Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 But, again, very RPGish. So was the attribute building in San Andreas, big deal. It's perfectly OK for the series to evolve, especially with other sandbox-type games out nowadays. It's not 2001 anymore.

ldee Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Most RPG elements fit into GTA very nicely for me. Especially an inventory that you can interact with variously for the protagonist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayM Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 This is a great idea actually and I'd love to see it implemented. I like the idea that you could unlock rare clothing, jewelry, etc. as well as sell items in pawn shops and ideas could be created stemming from this one. I can just see the words scrolling along the bottom of my TV now- "You now have enough gold to melt down and make the deal to get the Heroin that the Triads are holding for you".
