No, seriously. What the hell is going on in this thread? What has this got to do with Los Santo's size?

Go back 20 or so pages and read from there. It's worth it.

 

P.S.-Don't forget the popcorn.

The whole map is basically 25.7 sq miles. If you add IV's map = 6.3 sq miles and add 5.5 sq miles (RDR playable area), and 13.9 sq miles of SA's map, that is 25.7 sq miles.

That includes topography. The flat 2-D map will be smaller than that. In the Game Informer article, they said there are underwater canyons and deep ravines.

 

Ravines have 2 sides with surface area that is included in the topographical measurement. The sides of a deep ravine can easily take up nearly a square mile of surface area even though it will appear as only a thin line on a 2-D map.

 

Then you have to include the surface area of all those high mountains.

Well this thread was fun but these last pages...

It has a lot to do with it! Do you like freedom? The reason why you can take a sh*t and not be monitored every second of the day is because FGL is out there fighting the good fight blowing these heathens into pieces. Shooting a hole in your head....for freedom. R* makes good games, damnit!

 

Press on solders, stay safe! Shoot first and NEVER ask questions.

That's why we don't know if RDR's unplayable area is included or not. None of those magazines have said anything about this. It hasn't been confirmed nor denied. If in fact it is included, it will make a bit of a difference.

@Official General: Never let facts get in the way of another opportunity to post something amazingly turbo gay like your post above amirite

Dude, stop trying to make "turbo gay" happen.

The Bank Manager -

 

Not So, its just that the bridge shot above does indeed show the city at its widest point, from the docks to the Vinewood hills.

 

So what ?...doesn't discount the fact that in actual square blocks - the city is lacking.

 

True Crime ?..is your tiny mind not able to comprehend there is a gaping chasm between a 3 sq mile dwarf LA and a true to scale ( for at least part of it ) 240sq mile one ?

CAN YOU  ??? YOU f*ckING MORON!!!!!

 

READ OUR f*ckING REASONABLE REQUESTS BEFORE COMMENTING

 

You must be on your period but hopefully you wont be September 17, 2013 because by then you'll see the whole city as a decent size but

if you keep up this type of denial maybe you wont, anyways its YOUR loss because we'll enjoy it.

 

"Its small, still small, small, smaaaall smaaall" is a summary of what you've been basically saying on posts, but I want you on september

to buy Gta V along with a supply of tampons with a roll of toilet paper and play Gta V with its perfectly detailed game size, if the size doesnt

satisfy you go masturbate to a youtube video with a helicopter hovering over Los Angeles because guess what kid? This is Los SANTOS !

Reading page by page backwards as soon as i saw this I literally spit out my lemonade

 

This thread consists of:

People who dont know crap about the city and never played the game talking about it like they know it.

It wouldn't make sense for them to include an area you can't reach. Not including it makes their "X" times RDR measurement seem bigger.

 

If including it means the map is 5 times RDR, then by not including it, they could have said the map was 10 times RDR.

Very naive. You can't stay apart from it for very long, dxbrandon. You know too much. They know you know.

 

Within minutes, a black van will arrive at your house. I suggest you take the back door brandon, and run fast. The RDF aren't the terrorists. Urban has lied to you, just like he lied about video game cities.

First off I'm a defender of this topic. You seem to be so pissed you return everyday to complain that we have an opinion that doesn't line up with your own. I have taken no personal shots at you, so don't get all stressed out.

 

Face it, this RDF thing is a staple now. Get tougher skin or get out. This is all a bit of fun mixed with debate. Why so serious?

[brwhizz]

120 pages of utter sh*te.

[allftw]

 

The whole map is basically 25.7 sq miles. If you add IV's map = 6.3 sq miles and add 5.5 sq miles (RDR playable area), and 13.9 sq miles of SA's map, that is 25.7 sq miles. But we don't even know if RDR's unplayable area is included. Therefore, if it is included that should be another 6.4 sq miles. So add that to 25.7 = 32.1 sq miles.

 

It is more towards 32 because they aren't going to leave out the waste of space from RDR's map. Even if they don't, it won't matter because of the level of detail. This extra 6.4 would just be a bonus. Either way, we have a VERY big map. Not as GKP expects however, rofl.

The only problem is that most of the suburbs/ghetto hasn't been shown yet, and maybe some other areas, and as well as the improved draw distance, these are what the causes are for the "Small" looking map.

But RDR is bigger than 5.5 s miles. Looking at these two images the playable area seems to be around 8 s miles and something like 13 to 13.5 s miles if you count the entire map.

 

 

 

That makes V's land area at least 28 s miles and at most 47 s miles.

The f*ck? I never complain that you're or others opinion doesn't line up with mines. You got the wrong person bud, I would love for you to quote me on how I was doing that, because I never did lmao. And like I said, I'm not part of none existing groups, that's not my thing anyway. So there was no reason to quote me and say "The above is an official statement by RDF" when I already said to Official General, I'm not apart of any sort called of group. Fun or not.

114 pages and STILL no coherent response from those who think the map is too small. Why can't you guys just say what you expect Rockstar to do at this point? Since you guys are math geniuses, you should be smart enough to give everyone your solution to this problem that is bothering you.

Why do you keep asking that? The game is basically done. We don't expect R* to do anything.

You seem to be upset that this discussion is still alive. This is a forum. If people aren't praising, complaining, or any other form of commenting towards this game, then this site serves no purpose.

It's a discussion, if this bothers you then find something else to do with your time.

It doesn't bother me. I'm simply asking what you intend to happen. That's not an unreasonable question to ask, especially considering 114 pages of "it's too small!". I never said you can't express your opinion, but YOU seem to be upset about being asked a simple question. If you don't want to answer it, don't. Go back to another round of "it's too small!"
