Racecarlock Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Dare I say Fuel, Like Mafia 2. No no no. Getting gas is never fun in real life and being in a game will not improve it. I actually tried getting gas in mafia II once. Stopped at the station, pressed a button, and sat there waiting for my fuel tank to fill up. I'm completely serious, this is what it's like. Does that look fun? No. It's realistic, but that doesn't count as an excuse anymore. Doing taxes would also be realistic, but I don't see anyone suggesting that. "But it makes it more immersive!" Yeah, but you're just immersing yourself in a world where you have to do all the same boring chores you have to do in real life. So, it makes immersion and even playing the game itself kind of pointless. Because it's not fun anymore, it's just a second life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtafan023 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 able to sit SERIOUSLY i hope we can actually sit in the game,why u ask?chairs and bench will actually have a point in the game,and i want to sit above train and such,when i try to crouch above train,niko will *&*(&(*)&* flipped and sh*t and fall off the train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heist_blueprint Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I know I'll get a few s for this, but turn signals are a little detail I've always wanted. It just bugs me how everyone in the world uses them except the player. I was thinking the same thing. something little to add. just something to make it that much better.

KebeshMode Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 good stuff here gentlemen i would like to have: - bulletholes in victims !! like in RDR and countless other games so far.. - a bit more gore .. again like in RDR when you shoot someone in the head there is a gaping hole on the other side that was sick - taking hostages (im pretty sure this is confirmed already) - more recoil to weapons !! - weapons that go BOOM ! not those pathetitc "pop pop" sounds like the basic pistol in gtaIV.. (was it a glock or something like that) .. i really hated that sound it sounded so lame and weak - cars that sound like cars !!!! again in gtaIV some cars sounded like f*cking blender - speedometer (i know i know it isnt a racing game blaah bhaal.. but a bit more realistic) - when you shoot 1 round and realod you loose all the remaining bullets in the magazine .. i love this in other games.. it makes you think like in real life.. - ability to carry cash... i really dont see a reason to put ATMs around the city just to see how much you got.. especially when your money shows up allways on the upper right corner in the hud cmon... - a little bit of shaking camera when you run fast.. not much but a lil shake like in Gears Of War.. - when flying a buzzard (or any other helicopter with guns) you have a some kind of crosshair so you dont have to shoot blindly - ability to make awesome longer drifts in high speed.. not too much but better that in gtaIV.. in IV it felt that when in slide the car just stopped... they said it feels more racing game so i have high hopes for this - ability to use michaels rappeling skills on every building in freeroam.. kind of like parachute.. - looting bodies !! i hate when the guns and money just fly on the streets when you shot someone all of these are those lil things that i miss and they bring so much to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sddales Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Some really trivial things here that can really improve a game's atmosphere, DRASTICALLY - When walking down the street, better ambient noises. So if you're in the ghetto you should hear the occasional siren and gunshot, if you're in a busy area you should hear alot of chattering in the background with alot of different sound effects (someone's phone ringing, somebody dropping something, somebody shouting for a friend etc) - After turning off your engine, the vehicle should be locked. If it's an "expensive" car, when you're walking towards it to enter it, your character will automatically pull the keys out of their pockets, press the unlock button and you'll hear a little "bloop bloop" sound while your hazard lights flash. - Hearing the radio from other's cars and those driving past. - In the ghetto, seeing people get pulled over, cuffed and taken away - When driving, other drivers occasionally having a small crash, or someone gets cut off and they slam their brakes and a small amount of traffic gets held up with some car horns being sounded. - Occasional roadblocks for roadworks (occasionally with some wooden planks able to be used as a ramp, and a barricade to smash through) - Street racers racing through the city with cops following (ambient event, help the cops or racers, each give a reward. - Drug deals in alleyways (ambient event, with the possiblity to walk right in with an assault rifle and take the cash and the drugs) I agree with the little alarm feature. Not as a truly functional thing but an immersion thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westsidebud Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 lot of good replies.. i have a couple odd ones lol i wanna see ghosts and sasquatchs. Like if your in the woods you might see one run by far away or something. And maybe you can do some weird ghostly like effect randomly in a dark alley. What about a working web browser in the computer cafe's ? more wild life in general would be good. just a couple random things off the top of my head.. mostly i wanna see them do stuff that push's the boundaries / edge. put some stuff in that will make the public cry and whine and bitch n moan it's Grand theft auto so lets make it bad ass and not politically correct ! give douche bags out there a reason to complain about GTA and its horrible influence on people lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even laugh at that. I know you're joking, but I can't laugh at that. Too many people have un-ironically suggested this feature that making a joke at this point seems like a quaint argument. I don't know what these people do for entertainment. Is there a movie that just goes through someone's normal life without anything unusal happening? I've heard of some guy name Dostoevsky who writes books like that which is probably where they get their literature. Also, doesn't the sims exist? Oh, but sims doesn't have driving. In that case, city car driving or gran turismo maybe? Hell, there already is a sandbox game with fuel out there. It's called mafia II. And the DLC episodes have free roaming. Why also take GTA V and turn it into that? Why make me suffer through tedious crap just because you can't suspend your disbelief far enough to believe that cars don't require fuel. You people must have thought avengers and every other superhero thing ever was crap because it was unrealistic. But you know, there are simulators out there for you guys. Many racing games, mafia II, and if you want hunger, the sims. Why GTA V too? I mean, I suppose Saints Row 4 could be good if corporate stops f*cking with sh*t, but then when V is a simulator, I feel as if they will then move on. To the saints row forums. Next thing I know, Saints Row 5 also has gas and hunger and the need to go to the toilet. At which point I will give up and see if I can invest in yearly F1 simulators. At lest F1 sims are fun. Mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a couple of other things Gas doesn't really add something to the game. I never expect to stop and see Robert DeNiro fill up on gas in Ronin because it really wouldn't further the story unless some important dialogue or a smoothing happened at a gas station.

meson1 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Yes 2k is also working on gta v.i saw it somewhere a while a go.But this thread is like the wishlist thread. its actually not confirmed if 2k helped, actually i dont think they helped. Yeah what i meant is that the devs of mafia 2 are 2k chech. i know ? Yeah so they helped yes. No. They didn't. 2k Czech came out and issued a denial when that rumour started getting touted around as news.

TheGeekPunkGamer Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Some little things I'd like is a better fighting system like in Sleeping dogs, able to throw people in trunks and take them out. Able to use the environment to attack, like in Sleeping dogs when you can throw people over ledges or smash them into walls. Able to use your turn signals. Able to interact with the environment more, being able to jump and climb more often. A little better car damage system, like hubcaps flying off when you take turns at high speeds, inteiror damage of cars, if possible. Being able to see little animations like the dome light turn on and stuff when the door is open. Probably more little features I'd like, but can't think of them at the moment.

It would be completely useless as a feature. Unless they were to increase the rate the fuel goes down, in which case it would be annoying. Either way, it sucks. Hate (love) to play devil's advocate, but a fuel requirement could enhance certain minigames. For example, Franklin's repo missions could involve stealing cars with variable amounts of gas in the tank. For cars running on fumes, you have to make it to a gas station before the car dies, perhaps by using downhills and strategically planning your route to the nearest station. If you fail to make it, you fail the mission. It could make the missions more exciting and wouldn't happen every time (kinda like how Jacob's drug running missions from IV had a few different types). Fuel could also provide for a more visceral experience in free roam. You're trying to get away from the cops and steal a car with next to nothing in the tank and have a very cinematic "f*ck me" moment. Then, thinking on your feet, you strategize from there: do I drive the car and hope it's enough or just take off on foot through the alley and hope for something better? To some this may seem tedious, but to someone who really enjoys the gameplay and going with the flow, these dilemmas make the game that much more fun and visceral. In any case, a fuel requirement could be circumvented by cheats, inventory items (i.e., gas cans), and/or perks (like the ability to call a friend's tow truck business?). The real point here is that suggesting fuel is "completely useless" and sucks no matter what strikes me as a bit closed-minded and absolutist. It only takes a little imagination to envision how it could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
