Worrying about story line

[GTAVIII]

I am really worried about gta v storyline I don't feel it will be epic like previous gta's for the following reasons

 

1- unlike previous gta's ex: gta Iv before the release date we new the story how was it going to be like when we new that the player is coming from Europe to America for the American dream and that Niko is looking for someone etc. but in gta v we only now that the story revolves around money and we now each player how he is going to be like what we don't have enough info is how the story itself would be like.

 

2- I don't say that I hate the 3 protagonists but the thing I am worried about is how will it work what is the story itself ,what is the story concentrated on how will each player contribute to it does each one of the 3 protagonist have the same goal

 

3- I don't want the story to be like Eflc but with an extra character and with the ability to choose and play them all in the same time and as you like with a story that is divided and concentrated on money there must be a story that combines the 3 charecters and for all of them to have the same goal but different ways to get to them etc.

 

4- and the last thing if the bold new direction means multiple charecters I think it would be terible because the rest of the gta's to come would feel the same but unlike before when we had a single charecters we used to feel the uniqueness of each game the special feeling of each different gta I am not againsed the idea of multiple protagonists but I think it still has not been used in a way to fit gta and the last point in gta v trailers and pics we haven't seen allot of charecters in the game not as much as we used to see in gta Iv trailer will gta v have less charecters as before how will it be ? As of now I see the idea of three protagonists very good but it is not fixed in a perfect way it made gta give up its old feeling less charecters in the storyline what do you say guys ?

I don't think there's anything to worry about yet. I think that it will be Tarantino-ish---where it's spread out with different people, and all that. You could look at it like this: There's a chance that it could take video game story-telling to a whole new level never before seen. It could be completely brilliant. We won't know the verdict 'til we spend our time in Los Santos and should wait until then to pass judgement.

Well see Im hoping for the best they've never let me down before

Your irrational fears come from the fact that you don't know enough about the specifics on how it all works. This is R* for crying out loud, have some faith in them. I imagine you don't like games to change too drastically in sequels but if R* don't try something new, the franchise will begin to stagnate.

[huiop2]

is it too difficult to use commas or are you just too lazy to do so???

 

anyways....i'm not worried about the storyline at all.

[from33to77]

I think there is nothing to worry about.

 

After all, Rockstar exactly know what they are doing. We won't be dissapointed.

Reminds me of cod and how they never work on improving upon the previous game.

I am really worried about gta v storyline I don't feel it will be epic like previous gta's for the following reasons

 

1- unlike previous gta's ex: gta Iv before the release date we new the story how was it going to be like when we new that the player is coming from Europe to America for the American dream and that Niko is looking for someone etc. but in gta v we only now that the story revolves around  money and we now each player how he is going to be like what we don't have enough info is how the story itself would be like.

 

Actually we've gotten at least a bit of info so far. Michael is under the Witness Protection Program. He's the protagonist that is getting his own "aftermath" story, which isn't really an aftermath, but we're going to see how he handles trying to get back into the game. We also know he has a BIG ego. We know Trevor has worked with him in the past, and that he's the total psycho in everyone that has caused havoc in a GTA game (which can easily be said to be the sole reason most people pick and play GTA ever). I don't know if we know why he's willing to work with Michael again, and we don't even know what made him move and start a new life in the first place. But we DO know that Trevor is mainly focused on "id", AKA superego. And finally, with Franklin, he's a former gangbanger wanting to get into the bigger stuff. We don't know much about him besides him being the traditional rising-up GTA protagonist we all know. We also know he's very ambitious in achieving this. Those three separate things for each protagonists make a whole better story potential. I'm glad we barely know anything because it means the story's going to be a real treat in the end. If you've seen GTA-King and anybody else's threads about the three protags, you should feel that there's a LOT of great potential to be had between the three.

 

2- I don't say that I hate the 3 protagonists but the thing I am worried about is how will it work  what is the story itself ,what is the story concentrated on how will each player contribute to it does each one of the 3 protagonist have the same goal 

 

The story, is probably going to mainly character-focused, which I think is more exciting than a plot-focused story. The characters are the whole true package in any story, they're the ones that we get to see change, and how we see react. And having three protagonists is excellent, because I bet there's going to be a big focus on how they change as the game's story progresses. That in itself makes the story interesting to me. There will be probably a main storyline, what with the six main heists and all, but overall, I think it's these three characters that will drive what actually happens in the story. Michael wants to get back in the game, Trevor probably just don't give a f*ck about any of this and wants all the luxury, and Franklin is probably more focused on getting into the game.

 

3- I don't want the story to be like Eflc but with an extra character and with the ability to choose and play them all in the same time and as you like with a story that is divided and concentrated on money there must be a story that combines the 3 charecters and for all of them to have the same goal but different ways to get to them etc.

 

Yeah apparently the story is centered around the three working together anyway, so it does combine the three, while also still giving them their own arcs. Like Michael and his family, Franklin and the gang life, Trevor and.. well it seems like he wants things around the outskirts. I'm not sure what the context of #3 is so I'll just leave it at that.

 

4- and the last thing if the bold new direction means multiple charecters I think it would be terible because the rest of the gta's to come would feel the same but unlike before when we had a single charecters we used to feel the uniqueness of each game the special feeling of each different gta I am not againsed the idea of multiple protagonists but I think it still has not been used in a way to fit gta and the last point in gta v trailers and pics we haven't seen allot of charecters in the game not as much as we used to see in gta Iv trailer will gta v have less charecters as before  how will it be ? As of now I see the idea of three protagonists very good but it is not fixed in a perfect way it made gta give up its old feeling less charecters in the storyline what do you say guys ?

 

It does seem like this one will have less characters, but I don't really think so. I think they'll probably be a lot of recurring & minor characters too (again, Michael's family, Franklin's gang and whoever the lady was in trailer #2, and also Trevor's got other friends too). Future GTAs you shouldn't get anxious about because we don't even know if they'll have more or less protagonists or not. But if they will, the seperation of uniqueness comes from the themes of the game, not just the mechanics. I don't know what you mean by you think "it still has not been used in a way to fit gta"? Well this is the first time they're trying something new so yeah, of course that's going to happen - it's an adjustment process.

 

I think all that matters is how the characters we get impact the characters and the story, rather than the amount of characters. Maybe they'll be less, it sorta feels that way, but that isn't exactly a bad thing. I think this way is great because it gives Rockstar the chance to utilize actual different stories that they want to tell, and especially all in one game.

i understand your fears, but rockstar already said they have there own back stories and side missions as well, so i dont think it will be bad.

 

Plus rockstar have NEVER let me down in any of there games so i cant feel your pain in the same way.
