Morsaw Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 What do you guys think are pointless in GTA IV? In my opinion I think the Ambulance that you can call is pretty much the most pointless thing in the Game.

cidamelo Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Yes you're right, ambulance is very useless in this game, they should have done some ambulance mission!

Ats. Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Ambulance wasn't that useless. There was numerous times when I really needed health and it helped.

Miekka Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Kate this question regarding posts above: does the ambulance heal injured pedestrians in IV when their on the ground like in other games or do they just TRY to heal people when their already dead?

MostOfAll Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Calling for an ambulance is a letdown in the game. Even when there's clearly a pedestrian injured, the paramedics don't even notice.

pyramid head Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Penis in the cutscene (TLAD). That's more commonly known as congressman stubb's stubb The most pointless thing in GTA4 for me is getting rammed into by a cop and getting a 1 star wanted level that rarely if ever happened in the GTAs prior to GTA4 more annoying than getting rammed by a cop is that stupid flashing circle that appears on the map it makes getting away from the cops an unnessessary chore rockstar please sort this out for GTA5 these cops are supposedly intelligent yet they run into me, ironically the dumb cops in san andreas were more intelligent than the cops in GTA4 they rarely drove into me.

Praseo Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 most buildings... I hate that you can enter like 2% of them Not to mention probably 3 quarters of that total are meaningless apartment buildings, all with the exact same interiors. Thats pretty pointless, imo.

AlexGTAGamer Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 The FDLC, they don't even put out fires, all they seem to do all day is stand around infront of the fire stations and smoke cigarettes. If you phone them during the mission "Romans Sorrow" they just show up, look around and drive away.

Morsaw Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 I no! the FDLC are just there to look good I guess, but I think the reason why Ambulanes suck so much is that they cost like 700 bucks! Why pay 700 when you can just pay 5 Bucks at a Hot dog stand or 1 Buck at a Burger Shot/Clucking Bell!!! And besides, its one of those things that you find out by yourself. They never tell you that you can use ambulances or you never use them in a Mission! And besides, when someone gets hurt, they run over 5 people just to save 1.

gtamann99 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) 1. The Camera option on the phone. Completely useless except the mission for Playboy X when you have to take a picture of a target Playboy wants you to kill. 2. The ATM Machines scattered around LC. The only use for Niko is a balance check, which is your current cash amount.

MostOfAll Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Many of the in-game websites are pretty much useless. The spam emails are useless. I think Auto Eroticar is useless, too. It's not like you can really buy cars from there. It's only good for stealing the cars.

hunter-187 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 gtamann99 is right the camera on the phone is completly useless exept for 1 or 2 missions. i wish it could save the pictures and also could take videos how cool would that be Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/462491-pointless-things-in-gta-iv/#findComment-1060194700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxfever Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Many of the in-game websites are pretty much useless. The spam emails are useless. I think Auto Eroticar is useless, too. It's not like you can really buy cars from there. It's only good for stealing the cars. They're there for the environment. 1. The Camera option on the phone. Completely useless except the mission for Playboy X when you have to take a picture of a target Playboy wants you to kill. 2. The ATM Machines scattered around LC. The only use for Niko is a balance check, which is your current cash amount. These two things pretty much sum up the only actual pointless things. The rest of things like car wash and stuff are for those who like appearances.

AnthMUFC-Champs Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Definitely the car wash and the ATM machine however in the BETA they were planned for withdrawing money out of them.

Hmmm nice bike Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I agree with that on the ATM machines. When they removed the feature to withdraw cash from the game, they might has well have just removed the ability to check our cash with them. I still used car washes when I wanted to get dirt off of a nice looking car, though. I also thought the camera option on the phone was useless (aside from looking around inside the subway train), seeing as it didn't even save pics. And the firefighters, aside from giving you a firetruck (at least paramedics could fix you up quickly if there's no hot dog stand nearby, and they at least try to revive people, even though it never works. The firefighters just arrive and do nothing). Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/462491-pointless-things-in-gta-iv/#findComment-1060194864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkpile Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Carwash. For real. This and the subway...I used them when I had to (both in clean getaway), afterwards never again.

Magic_Al Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The ATM machine isn't completely useless. Supposedly you get more money from mugging peds who just used it. The most frustrating "useless" things are things that worked in San Andreas but not IV, or things that seem like they're "almost" in the game but are not done for some reason: fire trucks and ambulances actually responding to fires and injuries, taking pictures with the camera, towing trailers, only one store selling a few glasses and hats (why not some at the other stores?), the same diner exterior in several places but only one having the interior, 27/7 stores but none enterable... Some choices/omissions are just WTF. On the other hand, the car wash was "almost" in San Andreas and they finished it in IV.

AceRay Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 car wash isn't completely useless, you get a nice wash for your car! ATMs still suck. Camera is fun, but It just isn't utilized enough. I bet R* was worried whether people would like it or not, but I think people enjoyed it enough, so they'll put more use of it in the next GTA. It would be really cool if there were 50 things across teh map which you have to take pictures off to get a prize. Better than flying rats!

Morsaw Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I wish they would give us a bigger variety on glasses, I mean the only cool glasses they have are cheap 12 dollar piece of crap knockoff sunglasses. I think Niko would look perfect with some ray-bans/aviators. Or Even better, one word, LOUIS VUITTON EVIDENCES!!!!
