pharmacy instead of fast food healing

I would really like to see pharmacy´s where you would go to get your health back instead of going to fast food joints. And when you have bought your drugs you can rob the place, would also like to see more stores and restraunts and even banks which you could enter and rob and would offcourse get a wanted level if you did so.

That would be cool, they should bring back adrenaline too.

I think to just add a pharmacy would be a great thing for the game tho Hospitals are in the game & like last time FAST FOOD outlets are every were from the shops to the small corner stall.

 

so i think its not realy needed @ all tho would be a nice touch to the game... smile.gif

Actually one of the smartest and most relevant topics here since 2/3 weeks lol, you're right man, it makes much more sense. Wonder why R* didn't think of this for SA/IV.

Wow, there wasn't an ounce of negativity or anti-IV-ness in that post at all. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH OUR BELOVED ZEE???

 

 

On topic, I wouldn't want the "eat for health" thing to be replaced completely. The magical power of fast food has been around ever since Vice City. And I don't think having pharmaceutical street vendors to replace the hot dog stands on every corner would seem very realistic.

 

However, I like Zee's idea of bringing adrenaline back, along with other game-enhancing drugs. Maybe you could have painkillers to increase your damage resistance, or cocaine to increase your accuracy. And LSD to make you think you're a tree. If they did that, then it would make sense for there to be "pharmaceutical street vendors" on every corner...

x] I don't think the OP necessarily meant going as far to having pharmaceutical street vendors, just pharmacy stores.

Both hospitals and pharmacy's should be able to be entered by the player to get more health.

 

 

But fast food places would also be good, especially if the map is huge.

I would much prefer to have the option of visiting both pharmacy's and fast food restaurants in order to replenish your health - the reason being is because I would imagine that there wouldn't be a pharmacy in every single locality and it would not only be tiring because you would have to travel across much of the map to replenish health; it would also defeat the purpose as most people would tend to just commit suicide so that they can re-spawn with full health. An idea is that maybe if you visit a pharmacy, hospital or other healthcare centre to replenish your health, you get a temporary boost to your maximum health - whereas visiting a fast food restaurant doesn't give you a health boost.

a pharmacy AS WELL as food shops would be nice...

 

pharmacy could also supply drugs, we could do heists and sell on the goods.

I like the idea of going to pharmacies to heal, but I'd still wanna be able to heal myself after getting shot point blank by a shotgun and ran over by a car after being set on fire just by eating a hotdog. GTA logic just cracks me up sometimes and I'd like it to stay that way.

 

There should be additional perks by choosing to go to a pharmacy instead, however. Such as getting some drugs that for a limited time can make you more resistant to damage, or give you the effects the adrenaline pill did back in the III era, stuff like that would be neat to play around with. Kind of like having power ups.

According to its writers, GTA is a parody of America if it was how movies and advertising say it is. Fast food having healing powers is an absurdist joke about its prominence in American culture. It's supposed to be funny and ridiculous. Likewise getting health from using a hooker. If you want a realistic health boost you can call an ambulance or get a first-aid kit at a hospital.

Not just ordinary pharmacies, but medicinal marijuana stores.

Nothing beats the pain relief of a reefer.

 

Just walking down the road with a spliff in hand would be awesome, just don't walk past the cops.

Something i really liked from RDR was the option to buy medicine to restore your health.

I think that you should be able to buy painkillers or something and when you are running low on health you can use one of them as an emergency or something to restore you like 25% of health or something.

I could get on board with that, even though there are plenty of Burger/Hotdog stands in IV, there's never one nearby when you really need one.

 

I hardly ever walked into a hospital to health up, to be honest I never really learned by heart were the hospitals were, I found them a little dull to be in.

There's a good reason hotdog stands refill health. Not only is it funny, but it also makes it so you don't have to drive across town after every fire fight. Yes, it's not realistic. Can anything in this damn game be unrealistic?

 

Like the bringing back adrenaline and robbing drug stores idea as well as the stores also having health stuff. That would work.

Pharmacies. They provide Adrenaline, which allows use to use Gangstavision or whatever (some GTA appropriate version of Dead Eye) and Medicine.

Why not there was a hospital with a Health pack so the more the better, but not like real world otherwise there would be some "boring people" claiming that GTA is criminals tutorial and woulr turn boring if u needed different items according to what you had, a bullet wound, a car crash a broken arm... even if i think that would be to complex to implement.

Why not both? Food can restore some heath and meds can restores even more. It doesn't really have to be either or.

I actually think this is a cool idea. It would be good if they had missions where you have to raid/rob pharmacies for meds for cooking meth or something then steal a winibago to cook in the desert like breaking bad. haha..

Good idea, especially if they made it look like a CVS interior, or something like this: sign.

I can see them playing with the Rx symbol they use for prescriptions, given how similar it looks to a particular company logo...
