Reintroducing Drug Dealing

[DannyLee94]

GTAV should have the drug system from GTA - CTW, but with these new features:-

 

-Dealers actually talking (not just subs.)

-Dealers actually taking drugs from your holdall/rucsack and giving you theirs (not drugs just disappearing from your bag)

-Negotiating with drug dealers fro cheaper prices

-Enhanced graphes obv.

-Drug smuggling overseas

-Ordering smuggled drug from oversea to a docking bay and then collecting the gear

-Robbing Dealers

-Selling drugs to addicts and junkies on the street instead of just dealers

-Raiding more warehouses instead of just 1

-Consuming drugs to gain benefits like faster running, reloading, shooting speed and health gaining etc.

-Of course overdosing on drugs might lead to a trip to the hospital, dangerous hallucinations which attack you LOL or maybe an addiction meter which you lose health all the time until you kick the addiction by either taking another shot, consuming food and drink (alot of it) or dieing and going to the hospital, coming out with no addiction.

-The ability to roll joints, make cocaine powdery, clean needles etc. (making drugs in factories)

-A bigger variety of drugs: (coke, heroin, weed, downers, ecstasy, LSD(Acid)) and others like tobacco, morphine, alcohol and speed

-Making your own (fictional) drugs, name them and test them on the public

-Throwing drugs at junkies and crack whores as a side mission like in CTW in the mission 'Half Cut' to earn money

-Design your own holdall colours, patterns and even logos or tatoos

-Make your own Dealer name

-Ring up other dealers and addicts about price changes

-Plus, any other Drugs Trade stuff ive missed out from CTW should be included in GTAV.

 

Had a laugh writing this hope you do, i think itd be good, what about you?

 

Any upgrades on this mechanic you think would be better or do you know of any othr upgrades on perhaps weapons controls, buying weapons, what to spend your money on etc.

 

The Drugs market is common among criminals and really needs reintroducing, please reply as regards to what you think.

 

Thanks for your Time,

Danny

As I said in your old topic...

 

 

I would love a drug dealing system on the next addition to the series as it is one of the biggest markets among criminals. It has been a missing piece of the puzzle in most GTAs and I'm sure it will fit in very nicely as seen in CTW.

 

[DannyLee94]

Yes i agree improved graphics of the PS3 will benefit the Drug Dealing Greatly. However, it is too easy to earn money through DD'ing so the game would need more expensive things to spend your money on eg. bombs, plane flights, priv. jets etc.

 

Thanks

Danny.

I'd rather see them bring back an improved system of armed robbery instead

[DannyLee94]

I suppose something similar to in The Godfather but with gang members but i disagree to there being much of a system.

I was talking about Vice City, there were certain stores you were able to rob and you got completion points if you hit them all.

 

But it was a pretty primitive system, that could be overhauled in the next game to make it a lot more fun.

Ah yes, the holdup side-missions. Yes, they were very fun and I'm not too sure why they dropped that in SA and IV.

 

 

[Not Volt Krueger]

Yeah I said this before that you should be able to manually sell drugs for profit like in CTW. In fact i'd like all the ways to gain money to come back from VC & SA. Robbing stores, robbing houses, trading illegal cars, all the good stuff.

Of course like it was said they would need to put things to buy. Enough things at high enough prices that story-line money just wouldn't be enough, for the first 60-70% of the game at least.

[LordDastardly]

I'd prefer if we stuck to CTW-esque dealing for the future.

I think this could be a great idea. Taking say steriods could make you stronger and faster therefore increasing your melee damage and speed. Morphine could give you like 25% more health. Some drugs could be in the game just for kicks though such as LSD lol

[major underscore]

I created a topic on the strange views of drugs in the GTA games a while back. Could be worth a read, mkay?

[DannyLee94]

I read your somewhat self condescending topic and im afraid that sort of 'side taking' could go on forever. I got bored very quick; as i could offer my opinion, but why? when there would most likely be someone willing to attack my comment saying "Using/ dealing drugs in a game is bad influence" or something to that effect but GTA is a criminal game and the way i and probably most think of it: "if you're going to do it - do it right." Theres no denying drugs are common among criminals and should be included in a criminally related game.

I dont wish to write an essay, just simply see what others think on the topic of including more advanced drug dealing and using in the next GTAV

 

Thanks,

Danny

And i agree that would be a fun idea for the game as it needs to keep its satirical humour on taking the p*ss out of addicts LOL

I wouldn't mind it back as a means of making money, but nothing that dominates every other side-mission. A simple buy and sell system (with a little risk in the form of a wanted level) would do me right. Think of the Cherry Popper missions in Vice City, but on foot or from your own vehicle and you've got exactly what I want. I don't want something so deep I drown in it; higher paying, more demanding areas would do me just fine.

Exactly. It's fine as it is in Chinatown Wars, imo.

 

Just wish there would be some more ways of 'acquiring' free drugs, searching dumpsters and robbing vans is getting a little old.

I suppose but it should be improved from CTW.

 

Any other comments would be Great!

As i said what about making your own illegal drugs or even robbing dealers?

 

Danny

[Kwandilibro]

gta needs a full black market with everything from full drug dealing to stealing and selling cars, buglary, robbery, gun dealing, etc. but drug dealing would be so fun

[Wanted Assailant]

Little Jacob's drug deals was well played. TBoGT Drug Wars were fun at first but got tiresome after 19 some wars.

 

 

Rockstar just need to learn on how to diversify it. The whole Drug Dealing thing can be made perfect if they just do it right.

 

 

 

[DannyLee94]

i agree the whole black market needs updating; especially drug dealing/consuming.

[radioman]

Just a heads up, but all GTA's dealt with drugs, I mean GTA III, the drugs were called Spank, and it was talked about constantly-you even destroy the cartel's drug boat in the Bomb the Base act II mission, VC had a lot of drug discussion-even had a botched drug deal in the opening movie, SA has drug dealers that were actually on the streets in gang areas, not sure about LCS, but VCS even had the drugs empire where you distributed them, and IV had the drug distribution jobs from Little Jacob, TLAD and TBOGT also dealt with drugs via the storyline. So, the point being, is drugs is not a new thing in a GTA. Unless you are talking about the same type of drug system like the Scarface PS2 and PC versions had? Is this the type of thing you are talking about?

[DannyLee94]

I havnt played scrface myself but i, and i think most, are talking more about th drug system included in GTA: Chinatown Wars, but more improved. Have a read through my ideas on the first post which started the topic to give you a better idea.

 

Others have posted their ideas as well later on in the thread.

I hope drug dealing is in the next GTA game.

 

However, some of your points are a bit over the top. I don't see the point of having the ability to rolling joints, making my own dealer name, making my own drugs, designing my own holdall. Those points i think would just make drug dealing seem to long.

[Kwandilibro]

u should be able to serve time in jail if u r caught with drugs on hand, but u can dispose of them to prevent this. u should also have a re up man

possibly a bit OTT, but they were just a few things that popped into my head, and the 'rolling joints' idea was something that someone else mentioned would be cool, so i threw that in too.

 

I suppose if those ideas were thrown in, the game name would have to change to:

 

'The Drug Dealer' LOL

yes, but you shuld be able to escape from jail by kicking down gate or something.

 

Also, what do you mean by re-up man?

oh re up is when you go to ur supply man to stash up on drugs. street dealers call it re up

[Spuddfluff]

Drug dealings a good idea, but im fairly sure you took those drugs from CTW A bigger variety of drugs: (coke, heroin, weed, downers, ecstasy, LSD(Acid)) and others like tobacco, morphine, alcohol and speed.

 

Speed is ecstasy, alcohol and tobacco are legal and morphine is a type of heroine, so why go for that when you can have the real deal?

 

Although there are areas they can branch out in e.g. Crack cocaine, DMT, 4-MMC, GBH, crystal meth, khet etc.

 

I think it would be good to see more variety, but cheaper drugs should be easier to obtain in larger quantities e.g. Es and weed and heroine and coke hard to find but worth a lot.

Sorry to say but 'Speed,' the street name for amphetamines is NOT ecstasty; however ecstasy is more often than not, cut with speed.

 

I admit fault to the fact that i put in alcohol and tobacco, i dont really know why i mentioned those LOL. Morphine is legal in medicinal areas of work, but is often abused in the Drug Cartel, and heroin is very similar however it is a very 'DIRTY' drug and is usually cut with more than 1 other drug to satisfy its unwary users.

 

As you say i did take those drugs from CTW, that why i put them in the brackets.

 

I agree with you as regards to branching out in other drugs, which i didnt think of at the time, like Crack-cocaine, Ketamines and Crystal Meth.

 

The ability to get cheap drugs like weed and downers in high quantity is already featured in CTW. And, the opposite goes for expensive drugs like Coke and Heroin, just to let you know.

im not really talking side missions, more a convenient way of makin money
