Dangerous streets

[MrcTOtheJ]

I agree, while the Ghetto’s of IV's LC looked dark and dingy, and dangerous, they weren’t that Dangerous. I mean you see the occasional Jacking and gang members would trash talk you, but the rarely did anything, but did they look good, hell sometimes at night I felt the need to get out of those areas because they looked really well done.

 

Now I’m not saying go back to what III, or VC had where every gang member (this was worse in III) in five block radius senses a disturbance in the force and instantly comes running and gunning for you, that’s what killed GTAIII after the story for me, was the 90% of Portland was impossible to navigate due to the fact that you had 5 cars full of mobsters on you gunning for you.

 

No, I’d rather a more discrete approach to it, night would be more dangerous of course, you’d hear gang members trash talking, and over time the insults might get more extrusive over time if you remain in the area, eventually they might start following you and maybe will attack you eventually with knifes or something, not a full blown shoot out unless you pull out a gun too. Also random car jacking would be nice to, and random muggings, imagine if you will walking down an alley way after a mission and some knife wielding hobo comes out from behind a corner and tries to hold you up. Of course it should be a rare occurrence, because it would get annoying, and a tad unrealistic if you got mugged every 100 feet, but now and then it would really add a sense of danger to the more dangerous parts of town.

 

Also if you’re in a gang’s territory where they know you, and you’re working for them in the story, you should get a “free pass” so to speak, where you’d get held up allot less, due to you being under their protection so to speak, of course non gang related people would still hold you up now and then but it would be less. Also if a certain gang or mafia is an enemy they might try something more often, and more aggressively, still nothing like in III.

 

It would be nice if they handle it kinda like RDR's random encounters too, where you'd see others geting robed, and maybe even stores, immagine if you will going into a 24-7 for a sprunk whened some hoodlums hold up the casheir? Also I'd be nice if you could do some mugging too.

[Vice Beach]

You should have a respect meter. When it's less than half when you enter a gangs territory a box should pop up that reads

 

 

You have entered a gang's territory. They have taken note of your unwelcome precense..

 

I'd be outta there quick as hell.. Especially at night. If you don't leave the gang members will approach you and try to rob you at gunpoint. That's when the shootouts begin.

[Da Perzinga]

It should be like in GTA III but not too often and annoying like in III.

Congrats man, but we don't give a f*ck

[Triple Vacuum Seal]

good idea. I think that GTAIV was too safe. It should be less dangerous than GTAIII, but slightly more dangerous than GTASA.

[Death2Drugs]

I agree ghettos need to be more dangerous. I don't want it exaggerated, but it should happen. 60% of the time you should be okay, but your car might get stolen, you could get mugged, beaten by a group of gang bangers, victim of drive-bus, etc. This should also happen to NPCs.

Glad to see people liked my ideas.

[Kwandilibro]

I can't even attempt to lie and try and argue that LC was dangerous, really anywhere. There were some spots like Hove Beach and near the industrial park in Alderney where, with a little prior instigation, things could jump off. But very rarely did you see the streets just explode into a gunfight or something. Something I hope to see in V is more random crime. A bank getting held up, a driveby, some rival gangs fighting or shooting at each other, a kidnapping, a drug raid... You know. Things that weren't in IV.

[woggleman]

I don't know about this. When I first play a GTA game I like to drive around and take in the sites and that would be hard to do if you are constantly attacked. Maybe it could be something you can turn on or off. I do want to see other events in the bad neighborhoods though like shootouts and a store being held up. Maybe somebody who just held up a store can ask you to be their getaway driver to earn some extra money.

[Backspacez]

Gang areas are fine and I like to exterminate the vermin. What I don't understand is why a lot of people here want a gang simulator. GTA has never been about that. Gangbangers are scumbags--just rejects who cannot live in a civilised world. What's cool about that and how would that lend to the story in any GTA? A gangster and a little gang-banger are two different things.

I would like to see random crimes and rewards for catching a mugger or whatever--just clothes-line them when they run by or chase after them and tackle them. Getting car-jacked definitely needs to come back. I would like to see robberies and home invasions.

What about SA? That was about gangs?

I don't understand that myself, I had to remind the guy what GTA is all about earlier in this thread (page 1)

Just ignore him, he can keep kissing the mob's ass and acting like thy're anything more than rich italian gang bangers and dirtbags. Maybe he thinks they're really the good guys. Whatever.

[MrAfro77]

lol I like this idea, all the NPC's IN gta iv are bitches they see you jacking a car and the run like its the end of the world even in the bad neighborhoods lol

 

I would love for someone to try to mug or harasses me in the game it would be funn and a bit more real but like the assassination attempts thread it has to be done rite and and it has to happen once and a while you dont always want to be bothered especially when your trying to do something important like a mission

 

but ya I like this idea alot and I hope somehting like this makes it into the game

[boyfromgreece]

It would be cool if you weren't performing a mission & then someone approached you & said they were going to rob a gas station or something & said if you helped you could get some extra $$$.

Then you are given an option to deny/accept, now that would be pretty cool.

[GRINCH ASS BITCH]

i quite miss in GTA III where if you drove around hepburn heights criminals or gang members would pickpocket people and try and steal your car. that should be implemented again, but as a rarity.

I really miss those carjackers from III lol. They all had the same skin (which was the black guy wearing the blue shirt, I think), and you could always spot them a mile away slowly walking up to your car.

 

Sometimes, I'd get out and just watch them slowly walk up and take it anyway. That shi­t was fun.

[Gtaman_92]

I would love for this feature to be added, la is known for the crips, bloods and it would be realistic if everytime i come into theyre hood they will shoot at me and sh*t.

Well no one here is saying that it'd happen often, just a little rare thing that you'd see now and again, it wouldn't be like everyone is geting robed and shot at 24/7 365.

[J32T3R]

Not on the top of my wants in GTA V but i guess its a nice feature, not like how they overdid it in GTA III when you drove around cruising just to have you get shot at, and having your car blown up

[dukee152]

Well I mean when someone wants to pickpocket someone in real life they look for someone who is unable to defend themselves such as women, old men. or just people who are really out of shape. A big in shape Russian guy with that angry look in his face is not gonna get f*cked with to easily.

[MrcTOtheJ]

they look for someone who is unable to defend themselves such as women,

Um, I know some Women who could kick most people's asses rather easily.

[EscoLehGo]

they look for someone who is unable to defend themselves such as women,

Well they probably don't look like they could kick people's ass, it's a risk the criminal takes when engaging any potential victim. Some of these bitches got them hands and they ain't having that sh*t

[dukee152]

All I know is in my life if they got Cauliflower ear chances are they know a lot of MMA and a lot more wrestling than I know so do not f*ck with them.

[nkjellman]

Maybe this could be used through a difficulty level system.

 

But in GTA IV gangs would attack on a rare occasion. But if they make it like GTA III, it will get really annoying. I hated the gangs in III. I wanted to drive around and they would take up most of the map and always would try to kill me. I had to mod the peds.ide file so they would leave me alone.

for sure....

Yeah, most likely. Would make a funny cut scene in them opening, Protag is driving though the streets, you see some young lady get mugged, Judo chops the guy in the throat and he goes down.

 

Latter in game you see "19 year old animal activists breaks man's Trachea" on the news, to which the protag would say “Huh, didn‘t know you could break the trachea,”.

 

@dukee152 Yeah talk about it

 

@bud23 What has been seen, cannot be un seen. Which is bad because I'm going to have nightmares for a month.

[kingcs]

I like this idea. As far as carjackings, I would like to see something like, if you do get carjacked, you should get a chance to retrieve your car. Like after a few game hours you get a tip via email,text, or phone call reporting where your car was last spotted.

[Algonquin Assassin]

lol I like this idea, all the NPC's IN gta iv are bitches they see you jacking a car and the run like its the end of the world even in the bad neighborhoods lol

 

Not entirely. Some people will fight tooth and nail if you try to steal their car. Those taxi drivers especially are crazy bastards. I've been involved in countless fender benders that have escalated into fist fights. Some of those taxi drivers are tougher than the gang members.

[MrcTOtheJ]

Yeah those Taxi drivers are pretty insane. Then again in just about every GTA they where pretty though, take in SA for example when you would hit them they'd get out of their car and come at you with a Bat, Shovel and sometimes a Katana, crazy bastards, and once or twice in GTAIV I’ve had them come at me when I had an AK-47 or something else in hand, pretty brave, if not stupid.
