GTA V should be more like SA

[tommzy2]

I loved San Andreas, who didn't? (Unless u were a hc tommy v fan that couldn't get over VC)

 

It had it all. A sandbox dream.

 

Many people got bored of GTA IV, me, i haven't touched it since i completed.

 

There wasn't much to do once u finished the game, with SA on the other hand, you could max all ur stats, weapon skills, start a rampage, get 5 stars, hop into a plane, have the airforce onto you, hydra's heat seeking missiles.

I remember when i was 12, i used to grab a friend and we would play hours on end, whether it be killing innocent peds or jumping of mt chiliad with a parachute

Also the sa-mp mod gave me more countless hours in San Andreas, im currently playing sa-mp now, haha

 

Well i think with GTA V they should add more things to do once the game is done. Also adding weapon skills to it would increase its longevity, honestly, who will have all weapons maxed before the last mission? hardly anyone, so that means once they have completed the game, they can still get their weapons to max skill, or car skill maxed, maybe go hit the gym and work out, considering all these things will be in GTA V.

 

So guys, what would you like to see after the Story line is completed?

 

maybe a zombie mode? more side missions, 2 player fun? create your own race tracks? LOL

 

be creative.

 

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

maybe a zombie mode?

Anything but that.

[scorcher93]

Not neccessarily a zombie mode, perhaps a rampage mode? Rack up a kill count, destroy vehicles, cause untollable damage.

[J-B]

Weapon skills were more of chore than a feature but that's just me. I beat SA again recently and there weren't a whole lot of things left to do side mission wise. Maybe an hour or so's worth. Most of my fun out that game came out screwing around in the world blowing sh*t and killing cops. That's why I generally enjoy playing IV more theses days. The world is simply more fun to cause havoc in to me. Online free mode let's me do it with my buddies which result's in hours of fun. I was never really one to care about maxing skills in SA. At least the vehicle based ones came organically and didn't really feel like I was hindered for not having a high bike , flying or driving skill.

[-Bruce-]

Just another SA fan topic... Really people, would'nt you get bored after playing GTAV which is exactly the same game as SA??? I would...

[cherrycola]

You could go on a rampage and get 5 stars in IV as well, and all those other things you could do in SA were pretty mediocre. I would rather have Rockstar take their time and make few, but great activities, than just throw in a bunch of crap at the last minute like they did in SA.

[dirtycopVCPD]

 

Or you know GTA V could be its own game with its own vibe, instead of cribbing from SA, or Saint's Row, or whatever.

[Vegetarian Piranha]

I remember when i was 12, i used to grab a friend and we would play hours on end

^^ lol....(sorry just had to do it). ^^

 

i agree with J-B..

 

if IV had SA's customisation it would be a better(obviously), but theres more to the game then getting tattoos and haircuts etc, going on a rampage in IV is way more fun than SA imo, the realism of IV is awesome and thats what makes it so fun to play especially online where you can "grab a friend... and play hours on end"

[HeNDo6750]

i agree with a SA MP for V, with so many things to do, even though i haven't played it yet but it looks amazing

[mubd]

I hate dat gangbangin' culture. You down? GTA V don't need none of that, ya hear?

 

It all seems so fake and stereotypical, ya'll. Is just SA wid better graphics? I wouldn't tap dat.

 

[/wigger]

[Speetix]

It's GTA, not Call Of Duty..

[tommzy2]

yeah well a cod game lasts 1 year, then a new one comes out, everyone playes that cod game for 1 year, putting 200+ hours into it.

 

but no one plays gta for 3 months everyday, thats the thing. we get a new gta every 4 years, it needs longevity.

How about longevity based on fun gameplay and not arbitrary skill leveling ? I don't still play IV and SA on a regular basis because of weapon skill leveling. I play them because the games base game mechanics are enjoyable. Things like gun skills don't add longevity for the right reasons.

[CrowBarZ]

"GTA V should be more like a new, fresh and fun GTA game" There, am I the only one who think this is a fitting title change?

Indeed, I don't want a new GTA IV. I want something others!

[Turin88]

I'd love for GTA V to be more like SA than GTA IV, but Rockstar seem pretty set down the realism path...

[The Hitch]

Not all things thrown into Sa were rushed. Yeah some of it like haircuts, Gym, basketball weren't necessarily ground breaking innovations.

 

But a lot of the stuff thrown into SA and omitted from IV did work.

 

The Jetpack for example was awesome. Something not available to mankind just yet but which most of us would love to try and SA gave us the ability to try it, at least in game.

 

 

The driving, motorcycle, flying, boat schools were a success no doubt. A lot of the tasks were adivtive to try, especially due to the facct that if you failed you had to wait no longer than 2 or 3 seconds to try again, and again and again as many times as you wish.

 

The cycling challenges, downhill racing and bmx stunts were a success. The races were better as they encompassed different skills and different terrains.

 

The fact that you could get higher into the clouds.

 

Obviously the fact that GTA had a wide range of habbitats and the cities were different from eachother (rather than blocks and blocks of the same buildings) worked to its advantage and obviously they couldnt really include that in IV.

 

The cheats were WAY better in SA. Flying cars or cars that can swim beats spawn helicopter any day of the week.

 

So was the bunnyhop x 100 cheat where you could launch yourself 60m into the air on a bike opening up a world of possiblities with stunts exploration etc. Again something you cant do in real life but made available through the game, even if it isnt exactly the same experience.

 

The missions seemed to me to be more than just ride to location, kill 100 people by hiding and shooting, which is what GTA IV and RDR utilized increasingly. Some like the dance ones sucked yes but you had a great variety from swimming, flying, driving, cycling, boats, races etc etc. The plane missions for example each one was different. For 1 you had to remain under radar for the entire journey. Another you had to bomb ships. Another you had to jump out of. Another you had to catch ohto another plane in midair. Some planes you started in others you stole others you hijacked.

 

Finaly the characters seemed to me to be more diverse and have something to them rather than V where 90% of the guys you take missions from are just pure scum and Niko has nothing but pure contempt for them. In IV and RDR we increasingly see silly characters who are simply defined by 1 major flaw continue to just show that flaw in every cut scene. Eg Brucie, every single mission going on about his abs and niko about the steroids. Roman going on and on and on with the lies about how he they are going to be living the life soon. Playboy going on and on about how it is his town.

 

And all the characters constantly telling the protagonist he should be happy because hes doing something for America/ Mexico/ society over and over and over again, even though the protag doesnt give a sh*t about that.

 

Unfortunately the greatest pro of SA we already know is missing from V, the fact that it let us experience a bygone time rather than the lousy stinking now which we all know anyway.

 

Thats just how I see it and I certainly think a lot of the mini-games SA had that IV didn't were incredibly enjoyable and addcitive, and not "crap last minute" activities

[llpalm08]

I would like it if there were different types of sports in V like Table Tennis (R* were brilliant at doing TT on R*PTT) indoor dirt track/stunt arena like on SA, the pool, darts and street racing from IV, golf over the entire course.

I think that just the fact that there are mountains and countryside will give me a good few hundred hours of gameplay after finishing the story.

Yes, Rockstar did a really good version of table tennis back in 2006 and I think it would fit in with the culture of the LA the media like to show. Possibly also having normall tennis aswell could be a good addition to the LA lifestyle which I think they are going for this time because of the narration on the trailer makes it seem like he mooved there because of the lifestyle protrayed in the media of rich sporty Americans.

But GTA is about crime, killing, mafia, drugs.. not table tennis? But allright yeah, maybe as mini-game somewhere in a café or somewhere else.. yeah maybe

Agreed!!

SA never gets boring too, even I have finished the game, I start doing over to do the misisons.

They are damn nice and fun to do.

Now I am at the beginning again and still playing SA every day.

 

I have given up Iv since a half year sago.

That game just sucked, negative protag, lousy and lying characters, odd storylines, no sh*t to do.

And I can't be f*cked up to find and kill 200 flying pigeons to finish the game.

I've played GTA SA 3 year long, when I played it was for 2 - 7 hours.

I totaly agree with you !!!

Love it. But oddly, it wasn't SA that had that effect on me, but TLAD. I remember when they announced it, i was like "bikers? you mean we're gonna play as one of those dirty, bearded dudes who drive choppers all day long? R* what have you done?". And then after playing it I was like in the last picture with a bike instead of the car and the sawn off shotgun instead of an SMG.

 

 

Back to the topic, I'm not really fond of the stats from SA, I mean, who wasn't pissed off when we realised we had to spend half an hour in the water near SF before being able to do the 'Amphibious Assault' mission for Woozie? The weapons skills were cool because there was a reward (like being able to move while shooting or dual-wielding) but it wasn't very well made, you could just shoot a car in your garage and repair it instantly over and over until you've maxed out your skill. I could really like it if it was based on the number of headshots (and only counting ennemis, not pedestrians or it's be too easy) or something like that.

 

As for the activities, I think IV did as well as SA, assassination missions were cool, police too, and some others weren't exacly fun, but not boring either like finding cars for Bricie or Stevie, or Jacob's deals. San Andreas had a lot to do, but a lot of boring stuff, like quarry missions, pimping (which was like Taxi missions with a slower and more annoying car to drive), valet missions...

 

 

So, I'd rather have them focus more on the main missions (number and variety alike) and a few secondary missions (like assassination from IV, Stubbs dirty laundry in TLAD and VIP missions in TBOGT).

You didnt think I was talking about doing them as missions did you, lol?

I was thinking of what would be good to have for more variety after finishing the storyline.

[MarshDanni]

Ahhh GTA San Andreas good days, it should be made like san andreas even better, customization of everything

[J-B]

 

 

The Jetpack for example was awesome. Something not available to mankind just yet but which most of us would love to try and SA gave us the ability to try it, at least in game.

 

The jetpack was fun and I do miss it but it wasn't so pivotal to gameplay that it soured IV for me.

 

 

 

The driving, motorcycle, flying, boat schools were a success no doubt. A lot of the tasks were adivtive to try, especially due to the facct that if you failed you had to wait no longer than 2 or 3 seconds to try again, and again and again as many times as you wish.

 

The driving schools were cool but I missed blood bowl/kick star/ hotring more as they much more entertaining.

 

The cycling challenges, downhill racing and bmx stunts were a success. The races were better as they encompassed different skills and different terrains.

 

I do miss these a lot and hope they return in V.

 

 

The cheats were WAY better in SA. Flying cars or cars that can swim beats spawn helicopter any day of the week.

 

So was the bunnyhop x 100 cheat where you could launch yourself 60m into the air  on a bike opening up a world of possiblities with stunts exploration etc. Again something you cant do in real life but made available through the game, even if it isnt exactly the same experience. 

 

This is one my only real complaints with IV. The lack of cool cheats was annoying. They did add some pretty cool ones in TBoGT though so it seems that they understand that people want better ones.

 

 

The missions seemed to me to be more than just ride to location, kill 100 people by hiding and shooting,  which is what GTA IV and RDR utilized increasingly.  Some like the dance ones sucked yes but you had a great variety from swimming, flying,  driving, cycling, boats, races etc etc. The plane missions for example each one was different. For 1 you had to remain under radar for the entire journey. Another you had to bomb ships. Another you had to jump out of. Another you had to catch ohto another plane in midair. Some planes you started in others you stole others you hijacked. 

 

I felt that there was a decent variety in missions in IV. Not as good as SA's but it didn't feel repetitive at most times to me.

 

 

Finaly the characters seemed to me to be more diverse and have something to them rather than V where 90% of the guys you take missions from are just pure scum and Niko has nothing but pure contempt for them. In IV and RDR we increasingly see silly characters who are simply defined by 1 major flaw continue to just show that flaw in every cut scene. Eg Brucie,  every single mission going on about his abs and niko about the steroids. Roman going on and on and on with the lies about how he they are going to be living the life soon. Playboy going on and on about how it is his town. 

I can't really say I agree here. I enjoyed most of the characters in IV. A lot of them were revolting but they were meant that way. The same way Jizzy , T-bone , Salvatore , OG Loc and Ryder were.

 

 

And all the characters constantly telling the protagonist he should be happy because hes doing something for America/ Mexico/ society over and over and over again, even though the protag doesnt give a sh*t about that.

 

 

I can't recall a single time anyone besides ULPaper to told you that you were helping society/'Murica. Let alone "constantly".
