josefgauci Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Will characters be able to smoke? as we saw Michael in the trailer smoking and having a drink at the same time. Will we be able to control smoking during free roam? Tell me what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon1604 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Immersion is a factor lost on a lot of the GTA crowd for some reason, which is ironic considering how the Housers seem to have envisioned the series. Adding things like smoking, drinking, sitting, eating (not just shoving a fist full of hamburger meat down your throat), would add to the depth of gameplay, for me anyway. But if they add things like that, the whole "OMFG GTA IS NOT AN RPG f*ck OFF" crowd would be up in arms... soo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italics560 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 It would fit Trevor's character. Like if you're idling he just lights up a smoke, and when you regain control he just flicks it. I would think it would be a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUSClFER Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm pretty certain I read in the italian(or was it the dutch one?) GTA V-coverage that we would be able to smoke cigars. I'll see if I can dig out the source and determine whether the list is reliable or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highgrade89NewAccount Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Only if you get something out of it, like health (I know smoking kills but it's GTA) or stamina or a Dead Eye feature if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunr Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think R* would be crazy not to allow us to smoke a cigar, and even more crazy not to let us smoke weed. At least with a joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcalian Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If there are marijuana dispensaries, then I'm pretty sure you're going to be able to buy some weed and smoke it. Maybe Franklin has a medical marijuana license. Which is extremely easy to get in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotjoBoss Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We can kill people, run them over and beat them to f*ck with giant dildo's. But we'll never be able to smoke cause thats unthinkeble!

5000 Staples Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 lets think of this logically...why would you want to smoke anyway ? lol. what advantage would it give you?. I can maybe understand drugs a little... because it could in theory give you like insane powers for 10 seconds or something. but really ? do we really want to smoke ? I don't understand. like would I want to go around killing people... drive cars... have fun. or sit there and smoke ? it sounds almost as pointless as smoking in real life lol.

Yeah, but a lot of people (including myself) find little things like this to add greatly to the immersion of the game. Trevor seems like he'd smoke a pack a day. How is it realistic to play as his character if he's only smoking in cutscenes, but never when we're playing as him? As someone said earlier: something as simple as adding an idle animation where he lights up, and puts it out when you move the controller would go a long way.

Magikpeople Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If there are marijuana dispensaries, then I'm pretty sure you're going to be able to buy some weed and smoke it. Maybe Franklin has a medical marijuana license. Which is extremely easy to get in California. That would be pretty funny if we could smoke weed and drink alcohol. But i'd like it if there was some actual visual impairment when you do so. If you smoked weed, maybe everything in the game could become in slow motion for some time. With alcohol, maybe the screen could start moving or something, so that it feels like you're dizzy and your character is harder to control. It'd also be pretty interesting if the game let you do harder drugs too, which seems pretty likely too because of Trever being a meth addict and all. If you take shrooms for example, you would hallucinate weird stuff around you and you would see the world melt as you drive by! And of course, there would have to be some kind of bonus associated with each drug, otherwise there would be no point in doing this. (maybe cocaine could make you better a aiming, etc. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWetPartoftheArm Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 They have zippos in the game, and they mentioned cigarette brands in one of the interviews when discussing the detail inside the stores, that coupled with Michael smoking a cigar in the trailer leads me to believe it's definitely possible, even likely. Why only have zippos to set fires? I don't think it should increase your health though, that would cause too much controversy and send the wrong message. It could perhaps have some other effect instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston often puts out a cigarette, just before take back control of him after a cutscene/mission. You can never see him light one up though. i'm pretty sure you do see him light up. This is another feature i want in the game - this and sitting down, as said it adds to the immersion factor. In IV, RDR i often wanted to sit and just watch the gameworld for a minute. sometimes i'd have a bite to eat and instead of having the game on pause, found myself wishing for the simple abiloity to sit on a bench. smoking too, why would it be an issue? In a game where you break every traffic law possible, kill whoever you want, have illicit sex with prostitutes, then kill them afterward, a series that had a paedophiliac sex offender, drug dealers, drug addicts, anti government figures, conspiracy, that had you kill hoards of cops and feds, smoking a cigerette is considered too much? REALLY?! The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. Click here to view my Poetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoky250 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Smoking weed could be humorous, like drinking in IV. Would never smoke cigs, but I don't get the immersion interest. I play for escapism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon1604 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Inb4"OMGPOTISADDICTIVE"idiots Smoking pot or cigarettes (both of which I have personal experience doing) is not the soul-sucking taboo that conservative society can make it out to be. Is it bad for your health? Of course. But as stated above, in a game where you can kill whoever you want, massacre cops, potentially kill dogs, slit prostitutes throats after having sex with them... is smoking weed or cigarettes really that much worse?
