That's where video games are headed these days. The Housers seem especially proud to emulate movies in their video games. Who needs game? We got story....

Ermac_ Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I doubt the "bickering" will be in any serious context unless its story driven. In other words I dont see how the 3 protaginists will have arguments that really draw some sort of biased opinion. Im guessing its going to be more of a humor based emotion depending on what situation they find them selves in, sure to be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusRIP Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 That's a good idea, I never thought of it like that... I will probably be bias towards Michael as I already am for some reason. He's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic_23 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 it should be pulled off pretty nicely and it will be interesting to see. through IV the characters did interact in negative ways like when Louis steels the diamonds off the deal with niko and some other guys.

That's where video games are headed these days. The Housers seem especially proud to emulate movies in their video games. Who needs game? We got story.... well im sure there be interaction and dialogue between them during the missions.. To your original point, yes, as the story progressed in GTA 4, there were points (always in cutscenes) where I was empathizing with Niko, and thinking, as Niko, "I can see where this is going. I just want to put a bullet in this guy's face right now. So I get 4 stars, I don't care, I'll outrun them. So what if his boss threatens Roman. I'll kill the boss, too." But the constraints of the story were often at odds with the free will that the protag otherwise has in a sandbox game. I'm not sure it's practical or possible to mix the player's free will with a heavily scripted, story driven structure. That's becoming an issue as games get more realistic in terms of physics and 3D design, that they start to seem more like movies than games -- the disconnects between game design structure and story become more jarring. On one hand we have realistic script, story and dialog, but there is little room for player choice or free will in that. On the other hand we have a realistic world with free will for a number of activities. I do praise Rockstar for doing the best job of melding all these aspects and making the game structure seem well integrated, relative to all other games.

I disagree completely, in previous GTA's interaction was mostly during cutscenes, slowly but surely dialogue while driving, or during shoot-out and such increased much much more. GTA IV had so much chatter while driving to mission objectives it annoyed me at times, especially Brucie. I too like a good story, but hate when cutscenes are really long and you just want to play the missions, but IV definitely did well with non-cutscene character interaction. I think this game will be even more-so that way, plenty of cutscenes, but far more interaction outside of cutscenes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Foot Soldier Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I love that you made this topic. I always try to help people understand that GTA's storyline is bias toward the protagonist. If you look at Niko from an outward stance, you can see he is a heavily flawed man in life and his morals are completely out of wack, to me Niko is an evil man who is punished by the end of the game and left to rot in the cage, Liberty City, the rotten apple of the world. He has issues regarding his illegeal dealings and is truly troubled man by it but none the less, he still goes about killing many people for his own reasons and sometimes, just for money all while he judges others for their life choices. Niko Bellic is a hypocrite. He comes to America to find a new lease on life and to get away from his seeded past, but he also comes for the exact opposite at the same time where he comes to hunt down and kill a man who Niko blames his troubles on. Which is why I freaking love Niko as a character, he is literature gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Bill Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'll be biased towards whichever one isn't a whiny hypocrite, or whichever one is making the most valid points. There was one point in IV where Roman and Niko were arguing and i found myself totally agreeing with Roman.. It was when the apartment burned down i think, and Roman points out that he was perfectly fine until Niko showed up.. and now because Niko is a bit of a thicko, he has people trying to kill him. Vlad threatened their lives and business and Niko was seemingly happy to trade amusing quips with him, but as soon as Vlad f*cks Roman's slut girlfriend Niko decides that's the final straw and he needs to kill him... Not very smart was it.. No Roman has to get the f*ck outta dodge, but at least he's got his disloyal girlfriend.. Then Roman magically finds loads of money seemingly from nowhere, enough to rent a luxury manhattan apartment?... But now I digress and am totally off topic and have clearly just started ranting about the game in general, i'm going to stop now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugef1 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Out of all the GTA V characters, Trevor sounds like he's going to be the most fun to play as. Clearly a nutter that's a few litres short of a full tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why Niko wasn't fun for me to play. As for the OP. I'm going to go with Bill's sentiments here and be 'bias' to the one who isn't moaning, being hypocritical or trying to shove some moral down my throat.

NikoBellic1993 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Letting aside the obviously two kids above me, imo it wouldn't really matter which side we're on because it wouldn't affect the story . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staychisey Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think I'll let the characters meet each other and see how it goes and how they interact. I'll probably just take them bowling with me and if anyone calls asking me to take them bowling I will happily oblige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Darko Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 No Roman has to get the f*ck outta dodge, but at least he's got his disloyal girlfriend..
