Saving the game in any spot

[Lelouch The Zero]

So I was thinking, we have beds in order to save the game. But what if we could save in any spot on the map without returning to a safehouse? It would be much more easier if we wanted to replenish our health quickly. RDR had this, we could use tents or a camp to save the game in any place (except for towns of course.) But that is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about saving the game even if you are in a town, or hell, out in the middle of the desert at night and no where to go! A lot of games use this feature so that it would be a lot less of a hassle and having to drive all the way to a safehouse to save a game. We have autosave, yes. But what if we do something like get a bunch of packages, or stunt jumps? It probably won't autosave that, not sure yet. But either way, we need the feature to save in the current spot we are in. Even if it brings us back to a safehouse or town after saving in the spot. It doesn't matter as long as we can save wherever we want.

 

GTA may have never had this, but I think it would be great. If anything, we should be able to set up a camp anyplace we want, just like in RDR. But this time around, we should be able to do this even in towns. Does anyone want this as a feature in GTA V?

Not a stupid idea but could be better

No

this ^. It undermines the whole city/urban aspect of the game. In RDR it worked because there was a lot of wilderness to set up your camp. You didn't have to worry about surrounding npcs. It just wouldn't make any sense. It'd be like your protag just sitting in his vehicle for six hours or standing in the middle of the street or sidewalk. I'll admit it was a cool feature in RDR and it makes sense that someone could imagine it in V but it just doesn't work.

Stupid idea.

Stop making accounts, your making yourself look stupid.

[splintercell4eva]

Stupid idea.

It's not very cool to put other people's ideas down. I wouldn't call this idea stupid at all. We're all friends here. If you have some constructive criticism or even reasons why you think his idea is flawed then voice them. But just calling it stupid does no one any good and adds nothing to the topic.

[Eminence E.]

No. That wont be realistic. What use are the safehouses then. Thats a bad idea.

He is a troll. I have learned this because he has created duplicate accounts and coming to my thread and trying to derail them. He has proven to be nothing but a spammer or a troll. Both maybe.

 

The reason i am making all these threads is because I am running out of ideas to be in the game. This place just traumatizes you that way

Considering that vehicles play a major part in GTA games, you should generally be able to get to a safehouse in no time. So, I'm not the biggest fan of the idea. However, it would be great if you could rent a hotel for a brief stay.

[Lelouch The Zero]

I have a question for you voters. Why wouldn't you want this to be in the game? What if your power goes out in your house and you lose all your progress? That would suck wouldn't it?

I have a question for you nigga voters. Why wouldn't you filthy niggas want this to be in the game? What if your nigga power goes out in your house and you lose all your niggas? That would suck wouldn't it?

you are racist man

I generally save after every few missions or whenever it hits around midnight so I can wake up at 6 am because I like to RP in gta. So it wouldn't personally bother me if my power went out because it wouldn't set me back that far. Plus they have an autosave system too. Whenever you complete a mission or event I.E a friend/date scenario it saves. So it's not too necessary. It would be slightly more convenient but i'm willing to sacrifice a little convenience for realism anytime.

[Mr Rabbit]

imo this mainly works in games where you go back to last save if you die, so no, and I would not like that idea of going back to a save when you die in GTA, would not suit it.

[Lelouch The Zero]

Ah well. I tried *shrugs*

[CowPie]

No. Maybe have hotels/motels where you could rent a room or even have the option to save inside a RV/camper (if it returns), that would be cool for staying out in the wilderness for a long time.

its good for games that dont have checkpoints. a check point in gta is sort of like the end of a mission (even though it technically isnt) so theres a lot of them

You just want to be able to set up a meth lab in sh*tty camper.

I love Breaking Bad! They should add drug dealing to V, Chinatown Wars had it.

I've never played chinatown wars but I've heard a lot of people talking about the drug system and it seems really cool. I'll have to check it out. It would be nice if they had something like that in V to keep people coming back

You should make a topic about that. I would, but people would probably flame me for it. Nobody likes me

Where is the line drawn? If you can save at any spot in the game, you might as well be able to save during missions too. I don't like the idea.

True. I really don't mind saving at any place. I'm pretty much 50/50 on the idea.

aw don't be sad. I like some of your ideas. The sewers and the endless dessert thing was pretty cool.

Sort of like how saving in Bethesda games (Elder Scrolls, Fallout 3/NV) work? Just go to the pause menu and press save, at any time. Correct?

 

Personally I wouldn't care that much. I'm fine with the current system in GTA, and this system wouldn't get on my bad side either, although it would make safehouses a little redundant. However, I can only imagine the outcry as GTA becomes more casual and easy (I'm sure they could have it to where it's disabled during missions, though). I want GTA V to be well-received, so even though features like regenerating health or, in this case, start menu saving wouldn't bother me as a not particularly skilled player, but I know how much it would bother the general fanbase due to making GTA more easy.

 

And ultimately, sometimes different ways of doing things makes them more unique. GTA's system of having save points within the game world itself is a little outdated these days, but helps make it unique and interesting. And after GTA IV and RDR, we can also expect autosaving to occur when you complete tasks. These are pretty much good enough.

Didn't I tell you to keep your ideas to yourself? Every time you think you've come up with something smart you just show how much of a fool you are.

 

As stupid as you are, you probably won't hear me out the second time being right, anyway, and will continue to share your mindless ideas. It shows in the trend every time the general community here disagrees with your nonsense. You can't seem to accept that you're not bright at all. I'm sad for you.

[Apex.]

It would be loads easier, but then again only saving at Safehouses has become like a GTA 'thing' and kind of what it's known for.
