why people don't like Gangsta theme for GTA V?

I think the answer is simple. I think GTA:V is going to focus on other aspects of L.A. and it's criminal culture. I doubt that street gangs will form the central theme as it did in SA. Though I'd expect them to be involved somewhere along the line.

 

However, that said, I think the modern street gang scene would be a good idea for a DLC episode if Rockstar do choose to go a similar route as EFLC.

Gansta... they act like idiot.. people look down to them, and they think they're actually something... top class idiots they are, no value they have... waste of human body material

naw you look down on me through the barrel of my gun honestly f*ckers like you need to stop talking sh*t because if you saw me in person you'd cross the street and not make eye contact so technically whos a waste me or a pussy like you

This is exactly why we don't want to play as another 'gangsta'

 

 

They are the uneducated retarded class of human beings. They have trouble speaking in full sentences or using words of the English language.

 

They are so full of themselves it'd ridiculous. They have no common sense and probably can't even pass a 4th grade math quiz.

 

 

It's almost degrading having to play such an amazing game as GTA as a degenerate lowlife who's parents gave up on because they knew there was no hope for their child becoming anything more than a drug dealin hoodlum.

I'm fine with the Mafia and the Mafiya (Russians), the Irish mob is cool, the Yakuza is intersting and so are the Cartels, and Triads are okay. But no gangstas, I hate them. It's one of the reasons why I don't especially love SA like everyone else does.

I don't want the main protag to be gangsta but if they put gangstas in the game I wouldn't mind taking a stroll through the ghetto with an LMG.

The mafia theme is played out. I suppose that GTA is always going to center around organized crime, but there HAS to be a new twist.

I hope theres going to be Mexican drug cartels because they have mutch more power then the mafia nowadays (not sure of that). There isnt hardly any mafia in Los Angeles so i think there wont be any mafia themed missions either. i wouldnt mind if there was the gangsta/gangbang theme (they are surprisingly much more organised then wat they were in the 90's)

...Because sales and popularity are everything, right? sarcasm.gif

 

I hate gangbangers with as much vigour as the next sane person, but I absolutely love San Andreas. That's because of the map, the vehicles, the variety, the huge 100% list, and much more.

 

The reasons why CJ didn't, however, ruin it for me:

- CJ felt like a reluctant bystander for most of the gang stuff, talked into it by his dumb brother (at least until he returned to LS in the third act)

- The 'Grove st 4ever' stuff make up only a small percentage of the game

- CJ was funny. His reactions to car crashes and controller-non-input were the funniest in any GTA, imho

 

Anyway, I think the Walter White perspective (something like it, not actually parodying Breaking Bad) is the way I would like V's story to be, if there's only one protagonist, which I doubt. Somebody who isn't a criminal at all, but goes into a life of crime to provide for his family. Most of us gamers are just boring people with no criminal record to speak of after all, so it would help with immersion, and it's a direction that's new for GTA.

Guys esemonster doesn't speak for everybody from the ghetto. It's really insulting when you guys let one person actions defines everyone else's. I'm tired of everyone letting a few knuckleheads feed into the stereotype.

I would only want a gangsta theme if rockstar did it right . As from most of the post on these board the gangs of the 90s have became underestimated. People have not realized that some of these gangs have expanded across the nation and have aligned with different street organizations while adapting. If you know anything about gangs in the later 90s they began to expand towards the east. The Crips, Bloods, Along with the VL, and GD started to expand there base while promoting education and military. They are still around but understood the need to blend in. Kwame Kilpatrick was apart of the a street organization and became Mayor. These gangs have sent people to school to get a education. They have members in the Military they have people that are Lawyers and Politicians. They do work with the cartels they have not vanished they some have adapted. Now they may not be as mainstream as they used to they are around. Along with street organizations. Its not about the old 90s wars its about money now . Legal and Dirty .

I've seen enough with this damn Mafia crap its been in almost every GTA its played out and getting replusive, and corny now......also who is "everyone" else don't quote everyone because you dislike being a gangsta

Because the original San Andreas already have it, and I want to see San Andreas with another point of view. I don't care if is the old guy or the mexican guy, I want a story away from gang stories. Because I have enough with Saints Row... And because is boring and always is the same bullsh*t

This.

 

Sick and tired of being a gangsta. I don't care what V will be about, I just don't want it to be about that again.

Bein' "a hardcore gangsta" sounds completely f*cking retarded. I mean, I already hate people who sag their pants in real life because they think it makes them look cool, why the f*ck would I want to play as one of them?

I prefer the older mafia orientated protaganists. Cipriani and Tommy both had traits in them that just seemed more badass. Hood sh*t didn't interest me ever, which is why GTA SA is not in my top 5.

I was just voicing my opinion, and while the mafia is a tad cliche, I'd vastly prefer it to some stupid gangsta story. GTA V should not go for the SA angle, it should focus on the high life in LA instead of the street gangs.

 

And when I said 'everyone else', I was talking about liking San Andreas. Many people claim that's their favorite, but I prefer VC and IV because I don't like SA's gangsta theme.

I love lowriding blasting enemies with UZI's with my bandanas on claiming and reppin the set, that business crime sh*t  f*ck THAT,

gang banging brings up a lot of excitement just like GTA SA

"Gangstas" are too ghetto, and crime doesn't equal ghetto. I'd rather be a head guy in a classy group of criminals.

I myself don't like fighting at all... but if I ever had the misfortune of getting into a fight with someone like you, I honestly think I wouldn't be able to stop myself from beating you within an inch of your life. It's scum like you that makes this world a sh*t hole.

I find it hilarious how you think you're a "bad man" because you can cover your face with a tea towel, or jump somebody (with all your mates of course) when they aren't expecting it.... or maybe even carry a weapon if you're that much of a tw4t....... I don't know if you were being serious about being a tw4t, but if you are like that... you need help, kid.

Lol. Because "gangsta's" are so much better than the mafia? Trust me, I don't care for either and both are overdone but if I had a choice just between the two I would rather play the mafia. I am sorry but I just don't find ghetto gangbangers interesting or appealing. I do not care for them and IMO I think most of them are scum. I didn't like the gangbanger aspect in SA. What saved it for me were the gameplay features and the fact that CJ was an alright character.

 

Do some of you actually think that being a "gangsta" is cool? Because acting/talking like an uneducated twat/doing drivebys' and selling drugs etc is so amazing huh? Don't tell me gangs do not do any of this, wtf else do they do? Charity work?

 

Not for me. But to each their own. The only thing missing from this discussion is someone coming in and calling those against playing a "gangsta" racist like so many other times this discussion came up.

 

As a few others have said, what I want for V is to play someone outside the mafia and gangs.
