Not f-in' London

[Algonquin Bridge]

 

Listen first of all dont call me moronic twat(God i hate that fuc.king word)cos you dont know me,and you dont have the right to call me that.

Oh, so he can't call you an obscenity because he doesn't know you; yet you are perfectly fine to making sweeping accusations and assumptions of an entire island consisting of multiple nations, with around 61,399,118 inhabitants, whom you don't all know. Hypocrisy, thy name is ViceCityFTW.

 

 

You aint f*cking interesting!!!!

Your opinion, debatable. An island home to the English Language, a melting point of lots of cultures, the hub of the Swinging Sixties and many conflicts, it's as interesting as one can get.

 

 

 

Your accent sucks

Ah, the classic uninformed racist "argument".

 

 

 

and everybody outside of that f*cking island of yours HATE it.

 

Prove it. Prove it to me that everyone else on this planet, in their billion numbers, hate the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Go on, you made the point, back it up with hard facts.

 

 

and GB bcs its just that you as a nation are soo annoying,

Elaborate.

 

 

your weather sucks

 

Oh yes, it's always grey skies over here. It's not like we have nice hot British Summers, or bitter cold Winters that freeze up the Thames.

 

 

 

and that idea about football gangs hahahah what are you kiddin???People in US dont know sh*t about football gangs and fukin pubs so for you in GB we should have extra cool english football gangs??GTFOH

 

Ah yes, because all viewers are idiots. There are scores of people in the US that know about Pubs and football gangs; explain how you know what a pub is.

 

 

Take note; the above statement by ViceCityFTW is the exact wrong way to argue your point and opinion on any subject, not just London. Stereotypes, borderline racist remarks, lack of tact and an obvious grudge against the UK (whose language is the root of the derivative you speak...or type), do not a valid nor believable argument make.

 

The London Dossier. Read it. Examine it. And realise exactly where you went wrong.

 

[ViceCityFTW]

I dont even know why did i respond to this dumb f*ck...first of all I said its my opinion,and that moron called me twat...i mean cant person have its opinion?yes i hate your accent in general i have met allot of britans there are many funny and good guys but you are as country are very arogant...i mean why do i hate you??i dont hate you i dont hate anyone i just dont like you...But im not here to talk about POLITICS bcs thats how the whole world sees you(outside france and US)yours Divide and rule politics are the most dirty in whole world.Now you can say who thinks that who and maybe yours US brothers that you like so much to kiss ass will back you up but let me tell you nobody likes GB outside of France and US...I dont wont to continue this i apologize if i offended you and i must say that i cant generalize but your politics made a picture of you and how everybody else in world sees you and that is FACT.

[vincentmillidge]

if rockstar dont do it in vc lc or sa. then they only have a few more options really because all gta is is a satirical look at how the rest of the world views western culture so they arent gonna do boston or chicago or new england because they arent a big part of modern culture like new york, miami,london or las vegas. they could do detroit or washington or sanfransisco but thats about it really. there only other viable option is london its big, metroploitan, full of crime, english speaking and most importantly of all it can be easily satiricalised by rockstar which is a british company. i think gta london would be great but if its based in modern times i doubt it will be called london im sure rockstar will give it a fictional name.

[ViceCityFTW]

We're more popular then France in your country

 

So you hate Britain? Top tip: R* North AND R* Leeds are British. GTA is British. So you hate GTA? GTFO then.

 

I said i hate your accent...not that i hate your country wich to be honest I got no respect for...And how is your country popular in Croatia???Croatial loves US but GB is veeeery unpopular.

[Tipper]

ViceCityFTW, Goose is perfectly right to call you dumb when you say dumb thing. You don't have to know someone perfectly to see if he is stupid or not. Your xenophobic post shows just how dumb you are. So calm the f*ck down, you're the annoying one.

See i wasnt wrong when i said who is gonna back him up you do understand that You are not the whole world?I just said i dont like your accent,and dont like the atmosphere of Englend and ofcors weather.You see I SAID I dont like it so please leave me and my opinions alone :)And yea you are dumb French fa**ot cheers

[General Goose]

Well, what I meant was that America tends to be more unpopular on the world stage and has WAY more negative stereotypes then Britain, but that doesn't stop R*, and it shouldn't.

 

And you did say everyone hates Britain. You said "everyone" outside of the island hates us, which includes you. If you cannot spot the obvious here, please, go.

 

EDIT: Dumb French fa**ot? Goddamn, YOU are not the whole world. France stereotypically hates us.

I wear glasses. Does that count?

[TheBruceter]

(I know i'm not a big fan of english accents, Eastenders/Corrie sucks but foreigners do tend to like the scottish and irish accents.. Is that not a part of Britian? or is it the typical thinking, england is britain..)

 

but accents do vary anyways.. lol man your just a big racist. Have fun..

[ViceCityFTW]

Yea that counts...i said that everybody hates your accent not the country...but i wouldnt be to far from the truth even if i said so

[General Goose]

(I know i'm not a big fan of english accents, Eastenders/Corrie sucks but foreigners do tend to like the scottish and irish accents.. Is that not a part of Britian? or is it the typical thinking, england is britain..)

Well, Scottish, Irish and Welsh accents are part of Britain (though most of Ireland is independent), but most English accents are NOT Eastenders or Corrie.

 

And the whole accent argument is retarded. I ain't a big fan of some American accents, but do I care?

[TheBruceter]

See in this surrounding part of Scotland i live in, say 30 miles, i'd say theres a good 4 different types of accents.. Your a f*cking sterotypical joke man.

 

Accents vary right throughout the UK.. lol

[Algonquin Bridge]

ViceCityFTW, regardless of your apology and attempted back-up for your "reasons", I'm afraid that they're overshadowed by your immense amount of racial prejudice and sweeping statements on the country. In fact, you seem to be ambivalent, borderline schizophrenic. One second you claim that you love certain Brits, then you swing immediately back to the racial derogatory comments and claiming that you don't like (or hate) the UK.

 

I advise that you have employ a little more tact and thought to your posts, rather than getting worked up and being overly-defensive, to the point of continuously insulting and berating other people. Relax; think past the stereotypes. And stop thinking that the entire world = you. Because it doesn't. Yes, people hate the UK, but likewise, there are just as many, even more people who like the UK, the many accents of the UK, and the other facets of the country.

Did you ever asked yourself why does alot of people here have a problem with your accent and not american???its bcs not much people likes it thats why.But i said everything about London makes it a good contender for next gta.would i love it?probably not the idea of London...would i play it?hell yea i would

[Algonquin Bridge]

I do think that this thread needs to get back on track; let's just drop racist/non racist arguments aside, and discuss what aspects of London would make for a good GTA game. Let's just bury the hatchet and speak about what assets of GTA would work in London...

 

The tube. A huge sprawling network of tunnels and secrets. And potential tube massacres if you wanted.

[TheBruceter]

I'm sorry, you cannot group 1 accent for the whole of the UK.. lol

 

(starts thinking the whole of America talks like rednecks)

Well i was i little pissed of thats why i said those thinks.you do know what schizophrenic is?it has nothing to do with what i said...i said i dont hate you guys i just dont like you...its true i met alot of british guys here in croatia and allot of them seems nice but i said your politics makes a picture that everybody sees outside...alot of people hat america and think they are crazy and violent but that really is stereotyp...soo i dont mean what i said i apologize once again bcs i was angry...

[Algonquin Bridge]

Likewise, I apologise for continuing the debate. Let's just talk about London as a location in GTA, okay?

 

London Buses. Come on, blocking off Picadilly Circus with some Double-Decker Routemasters, then launching a rocket into the tangled mess of traffic, before fending off the police, who're hanging onto the pole at the back. Win!

[General Goose]

f*ck yeah. That is all.

Yea sure I think its not my cup of tea but if London is next then ill be first in line to buy it.Maybe f*cking getaway has something to do with my dont want london thing...

And lets not forget about roundabouts Picking high speed towards one and plowing into a lane of traffic onto a roundabout, major crashes

[Algonquin Bridge]

The Getaway was awful...but it wasn't made by R*, which means that it wouldn't have been.

 

But a R* London? Explosions, Car Chases, Crumpets being squashed under hundreds of coppers on Horseback!

[ViceCityFTW]

Or that sunny Vic...hehehe just kiddin i know R* has something up in their sleeve be it VC SA or London or something else i know it will be great...There shoudnt be this kind of topics cus if R* uses a pig farm and makes a GTA Pig farm i bet it would be AAA title so how a big and famous cities wouldnt work?

[Algonquin Bridge]

Hell, I'd love a Vice City next. London would be great too. Either way, it's Win Win! San Andreas would be cool, too; but I just don't know what goes on in the heads of those R* executives...

[ViceCityFTW]

Yea i too would like Vice city...im a sucker for sun But to hell now im googlin London to see what it has to ofter...I defenitly think that london should have its place i GTA universe as LC SA VC and Tokyo...but im just soo tired right now of that grey and gritty atmospher of LC so I would like something sunny next be it VC or SA,but im sure R* knows the best

[Spaghetti Cat]

No "hate", just a few reasons I can think of not to put in London.

 

First, never been to London before, but isn't the city streets smaller? On of my complaints about IV was the narrow streets. Putting it in London would make the streets smaller right? Not to mention smaller cars, ect.

 

Second, driving on the wrong side of the road. I know this isn't a big deal to most ppl, but I think it's a big deal.

 

Almost forgot, one-way streets! Isn't there a lot of one-ways in London? If so, that sucks also, I didn't like the one way streets in LC.

 

Another one, lack of crime/weapons. I know this has been debated before, but you can't get around the fact that there are less crimes and certainally less firearms in London. Plz, no more stats, I know there is crime there. But its a lot of knife attacks and not firearms attacks. When was the last time a bank in England was held up? Every GTA game needs a good bank heist and I just don't see that happening in London/England.

 

Finally, GTA is mostly an American game. In vision, humor, and scope. Even though there was a London expansion pack, I just don't see the series leaving the good 'ole USA. On a side note, I think that the new R* game AGENT will focus more on the London/England/Europe connections than a GTA game will.

 

/my 2

[ViceCityFTW]

You see,maybe you write i also think Agent will be more about EU and GB...but im sure i wouldnt mind smaller streets or one way streets.And its not about criminal really.For exepmle look at San Fierro,in real life its not really a crime capital but they managed to pull it of.They make fictional cities so crime really shouldnt be a problem(London actually has enough crime).While i love America and the feeling i get when i listen to radio stations and go to Las Venturas or driving around VC i think that they could pull it of...i mean they are R*

No, not really. There are small side alleys and quiet residential streets, but most are fairly wide.

 

 

Second, driving on the wrong side of the road.  I know this isn't a big deal to most ppl, but I think it's a big deal. 

 

Well, you'll adjust quickly, believe you me, and we don't care about traffic rules anyway being GTA players.

 

 

Almost forgot, one-way streets!  Isn't there a lot of one-ways in London?  If so, that sucks also, I didn't like the one way streets in LC. 

 

Once again, not a whole lot aside from roundabouts and the rare street here and there.

 

 

Another one, lack of crime/weapons.  I know this has been debated before, but you can't get around the fact that there are less crimes and certainally less firearms in London.  Plz, no more stats, I know there is crime there.  But its a lot of knife attacks and not firearms attacks.  When was the last time a bank in England was held up?  Every GTA game needs a good bank heist and I just don't see that happening in London/England. 

 

Well, R* WILL play with the truth. Armed heists do happen in London. A mission like a jewellery store or train robbery would be particularly fitting. And "less crimes"? No, there are not less crimes I'm afraid. Anyway, criminals can relatively easily get access to average firearms.

 

 

Finally, GTA is mostly an American game.  In vision, humor, and scope.  Even though there was a London expansion pack, I just don't see the series leaving the good 'ole USA.  On a side note, I think that the new R* game AGENT will focus more on the London/England/Europe connections than a GTA game will. 

 

Britain has both enough of a unique culture of its own to stand out but enough similarities with the US so you won't feel lost. And GTA is British, after all.

There are so many things we could do in a GTA London, especially if it is set in the 60s/70s (and actually, any place in Europe would be great if set in this timeline), Austin Mini chases, bike chases in the Underground (like in the "No Way On The Subway" mission in IV), or even crazier, board a double decker driving at high speed and have a gunfight in here, with everybody being shaked when the bus takes a turn. Or maybe a mission inspired of "Payday for Ray" from GTAIII when we had to answer several phone calls from booth throughout the city. Or sniping a target who would be in the London Eye. And if set in the 60s/70s, cars would be great, I posted some pics of cars from that time in the thread about the 70s setting.

 

yeah there are definitely plenty of cool missions and things to do in a GTA London
