mugging

[Nervesplitter]

I got thinking today (first time in a while) and I though that it's weird that when people drop their phones they walk off like nothing happened. they should bend down and get it, or you could take it instead then they'd either run away scared (even more so if you pointed a gun at them) or target you and try to attack you.

 

Also, after a certain mission we should get given a duffel bag in our wardrobes. when you find anything worth stealing you press e to pick it up and l to put it in your bag. when you've got enough you can take it to [email protected] (or maybe a new type of pawn store?) and sell them. every time you take someone's thing you will be searched for by the police for a very short amount of time.

 

also when on a motorbike you should be able to snatch people's bags, like if you see someone nearby you could press e which would put it into slow-mo then press e at the right time to snatch the bag from them, things like this make games refreshing.

 

duffel bag could probably be used for robbing banks/stores too and keeping money/weapons in when you leave it at your apartment.

 

thoughts on this?

yeah mugging needs to be taken to the next level i want to see the player hold the gun at the pedestrian and dig through theyre pockets with his right hand and then decide what to do what them after

You can mug people in SR, it would be good in GTA.

I love doing that. So fun!

It would be nice to do so: it would give the game more depth.

Mugging in the morning light in the middle of the city could get you into trouble with other pedestrians or make you earn a wanted level from a nearby cop. At night, in a dark alley with few people in it, it could be easier and less punishable, as other pedestrians would cower and run away in fear or pretend they didn't saw anything...

I should note this down to post it on the wishlist

things like this keep games amazing you, like after 5 years of playing SA I wanted to complete the story myself, and found out about robbing people's homes and talking to peds.

In my opinium mugging would only be good for pedastrians to make the city feel much moor like a living one .

Give me robberying stores , banks , money venchils , famous people kidnnaping , luxury venchil thiefing .

mugging will only come down again is the money so importan in the game so you have to doo thees kinda stuff or live of what you get from missions

Mugging definitely needs to be in the game. Confrontations with random peds is currently very poor. If someone has a gun aimed at you, why on earth would you simply run away? That's you all but giving up your life.

 

If you encounter someone in a quiet area with no other people, you should be able to threaten them to give you their possessions, or money, so that you can committ the crime without being heard.

 

I'd like to see different peds reacting in different ways to potentially being mugged. Some would be scared, but keep quiet. Some would be scared and start screaming. Then you would have people who try to fight back and won't let you mug them. It would add another dimension to the pedestrians, after they severely improved in GTA IV.

That's a great idea I'd love to see that in the next GTA. Would also be nice if they improved the peds AI, make the game much more realistic for- that seems to be what they're going for atleast!
