perroGtA97 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 those fake-ass gangster stories ARE simple. R* couldn't make much of it in san andreas and added much crazy sh*t like area69 because gangsta (which are just lower-class of black people and not italians in 1930 new york) stories are bland and boring. gta iv story wasnt simple, it was about revenge and going for non-existant american dream. here's my 2 cents also, DarrinPA, please contribute more than one word next time, with reasons why yes or why not. And to OP too, you have only one sentence which ends with multiple dots so it looks even more unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to OP too, you have only one sentence which ends with multiple dots so it looks even more unfinished. Hope for a new gangster GTA I had a lot more fun in San Andreas than in IV. The missions in SA are more different than in IV and who says the gangster "world" is crazy sh*t? There are thousands of ppl in the US that live their life as a gangster. So it can be realistic and nobody says that todays gangster are comparable with some hardcore Italien gangsters of the 1930s. But go to LA and go to Watts. I've been there and what I've seen is that I can say that there are much similarities in SA to the real world. Btw there are lots of gangster films, too. So you see it's not only sh*t. The area 69 was only the gamecopy of Area 5.1 in Nevada. A real existing military area. And a gangster story can be very complicated. It's just up to the developers, but there are many ways.

Drift-Kingz Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think we need another gangsta like story. Enough of that mafia and triad stuff, it's getting too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think R* could take on a "gangsta" story and make it out like IV. So my answer is combine the two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameistommy5 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The area 69 was only the gamecopy of Area 5.1 in Nevada. A real existing military area. Area 51 Doesn't exist.... I hope for a gangster theme again. To be more mafia realistic, you have to be secretive and stealthy. Based on Gangland the show, gangsters don't care when or where they commit the crime, specifically drive-bys in broad daylight. Which is more fun for me.

Jay Murdoch Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I really hope it's got another gangsta storyline. 'Cause they give more missions tbh and make it more of a challenge. Havin' to do missions with a bunch of sneaky gansters tryin' to waste ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherrycola Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Why is GTA IV's story simple? I've heard complaints that the story was too complicated, and that people didn't know what was going on, but never that it was a simple story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over_the_hill Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 IV was a lot more 'Gangster' than 'Gangsta'. I think I prefer the more organised 'Gangster' storylines such as, Vice city and IV tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matajuegos Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 gangsta is boring (for me) they should make a new story but with a little touch of gangsta but with the grittyness of IV or an italian gritty story IV WAS NOT SIMPLE ¬¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Fool Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 There's only been one gangsta GTA so R* should go all out with a more fleshed out tale of hood life in the next GTA. But I'll accept whatever R* cook up cause they're awesome at writing stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rucke Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Simple story like in GTA IV? I think Niko had a very troubled and complicated story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA_stu Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) I wouldn't call GTA IV simple. But it's hard to categorise stories anyways, they're all unique. I'd just like a good solid story that's interesting and with an appealing protagonist. Saints Row doesn't have this, Just Cause doesn't either. Anybody can throw a bunch of zany, wacky, crazy things with lots of customisable options together to make for lots of fun in a sandbox game. But not everybody can do that AND make a compelling story with characters you actually care about. i hope tht r* see our comments nd discussion so they can improve more... God no! If R* payed any attention to the comments in here the next GTA would be terrible, PS don't double post. Edited June 24, 2011 by GTA_stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahash08 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 i think gta iv story is not gangsta because, have you seen niko bellic, he doesnt look like gangsta and there is not alot of gangster so gta san andreas was fun and that look like a propa gangsta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgcarva1 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm tired of the "Rags to Riches" sh*t, why don't they allow you to start a the top? It will be a good change, or starting out when your character reaches the top. Like an Italian Mob Boss. Make you be able to earn money in different ways rather than "Niko, go kill this guy." Buy businesses, manage your soldiers, buy houses. And there could be a storyline in it, like 1/4 through the game your organization is disbanded/destroyed/busted by the FIB and you gotta take revenge or make the money again. No, definitely wouldn't want to be some ghetto dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBee Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The main reason I disliked San Andreas was because of all of this hard 'Gangsta' sh*t. I much preferred IV because Niko was actually a character you could connect with, whereas CJ was just annoying. The story in IV was hardly simple, it was, as a user above has pointed out, a complex plot of revenge and the pursuit for happiness. I didn't even realise that SA had a story...

Diego Delgado Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Lol i hope they never go back to (Gangsta) not even a word i might add, it's a rediculous lifestyle in which all that happens is offing each other in record numbers lmao. Id prefer something less f*cking moronic and something that actually has a story behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saying San Andreas didnt have a story is silly. You just couldnt connect with the game because the character was black. GTA 4 WAS A DEAD END STORY TO ME. DRIVE HERE KILL HIM, STEAL THIS, PROTECT THIS. SAN ANDREAS WAS STARTING FROM NOTHING AND THE GAME REWARD YOU FOR PUTTING IN WORK AND DOING THINGS. I COMPLETE GTA 4 AND ALL I GOT WAS MORE DLC.

Trevor's Mother Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 It depends of what type of gangsta story we're talking. i dont like "guetto-rapper" gangstas story like San Andreas, i prefer italian-mob (like GTA3) or russian/eastern european mob (like IV) or motorbike gangsters (like the first IV expansion that i forgot the name) or something similar.

But niko's character had more personality...I'm not trying to convince you that niko was a better character but what made you think CJ was a better? Niko started off with nothing and basically ended with nothing (depending on the final choice u made at the end) and it made for a more realistic character. Granted CJ was hella fun to play as in San Andreas lol but I just dont see how he was a better character. I'm not doubting your choice nor do I disrespect it...just curious that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perroGtA97 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 You just couldnt connect with the game because the character was black. I didn't connect to CJ just because he was black, I didn't because he was a moron and his story was fitting Saints Row more, just compare to GTA3 or VC stories, no funky bullsh*t of green goos and jetpacks. I liked Vice City Stories story way much more than San Andreas' and Vic is almost like CJ in skin colour, so your argument is invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) GTA 4 WAS A DEAD END STORY TO ME. DRIVE HERE KILL HIM, STEAL THIS, PROTECT THIS. That's not the story. That's the missions. The story is what's seen in cut scenes. Really I have no idea why people confuse the two. Anyway SA wasn't even a "real" gangsta story. It tried to be at the start then it took a 180 degree turn into some un-related tangent. To me it started right at the moment CJ was kidnapped by Tenpenny and Pulaski and was thrown into Angel Pine. From that moment any kind of "gangsta" element that it was going for was lost. IMO it was a monumental mess of epic proportions. It was like a beta gangsta story with a heap of bits and pieces of other genres stapled onto it. Every GTA has points of its story where things don't seem to "fit" in well, but not quite like SA was. They all tend to be reasonably consistent, but the story in SA had no idea what it wanted to be. I'm not the biggest fan of the genre, but if you want to see real gangsta story watch Boyz N The Hood, or Menace II Society. Both movies portrayed what SA was doing at the start before it decided to go off into a quest that had sweet f*** all do to with the genre. It's not a terrible story per say, but like the entire game itself to me it felt like R* got cocky with their own success and just created the story out of pure "sake". Thank christ they got back on track with GTA IV. A story similar would be fantastic. Not that jumbled mess (structure wise) that was used in SA.

TruDat Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 What are we really discussing here, a street gang vs. mafia story? If so my option would be a story featuring the Mexican cartels, you could get a mix of both elements. If we're talking simple vs. complicated, i'm going with complicated.

Zxirius. Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I never liked anything about the "Gangsta in the ghetto" type storylines. Though, in San Andreas, I did like the idea of capturing neighborhoods, but I thought it was way too easy, which made it boring and repetitive after a while. I think Rockstar Games should work up a storyline you can play by the gamer's preference. Add many directional scenarios to the game, so you can choose to work with a specific gang or group in the city. This is so you can choose which type of life you can live, rather than the one directional type storyline you see normally. This would be similar to the idea that once was GTA 2, but a more developed storyline of course. I think it could be done, but it would probably take a lot of work when it comes to developing. GTA 2 still remains my favorite GTA to this day because you could choose who to work for. I like that, and would love to see that in a modern GTA.
