With jail confirmed by people who saw the demo

Recommended Posts

first post in the forums after lurking for a while

 

people who saw the demo said that each of the characters will go on with their own lives while you are playing on of the protagonists.

 

in the past GTAs, if you got busted by the cops, you would just end up at the police station with your stuffs taken.

but in GTA V,

if michael, franklin, or trevor gets busted robbing/hot wiring cars/beating up peds,

what if you have to go bail them out from jail before you can have that character on the outside again?

or even break them out of prison?

 

would that be a good feature?

 

if anyone has information on the jailhouse, what is the prison is for?

 

thanks

Still hoping for one of the protags to get himself locked up (Trevor probably lol) and the other two to break him out. This would be golden.

Just because there's a prison in GTAV doesn't mean it's gonna be useful (unless I missed something somewhere). Remember there's a prison in IV too, totally useless...

I think you should be able to do 5 minutes in jail. And you have the ability to escape or start a riot, it would be just like real jail.

I play games to avoid this kind of bullsh*t punishment. So no, no prison sentences.

That'd be mad, but instead of being broken out of.. Breaking out yourself would be a fun addition. Un-detected as well, stealth escape would be absolutely legendary.

What is jail good for other than breaking out of anyways?

I knew you would post in this thread!

 

Anyway ..I completely agree with you man.

Any obligation in a Rockstar game has been perceived very poorly.

People hated having to go to sleep in Bully, people hated having to eat in San Andreas.

No doubt people will hate most likely any form of a jail system.

 

3 characters or not, I'm gonna be playing as my favorite.

And I don't wanna have him locked away because I played GTA like any normal GTA player.

I don't wanna play as a certain character I may or may not like for a certain period of time every time I get busted.

I don't wanna have to bail a character out every time I get busted. (As that would waste 2 characters and a tremendous amount of time)

And I DEFINITELY don't wanna have to break out of prison. Every. Single. f*cking time. I get busted. For doing something bad. In a f*cking GTA game.

Eh I just don't want to have to break somebody out you know?

 

OH!!! I GET YOU!.. Yeah exactly, yep! Unless your gay, like really gay and well.. you know.

Maybe you'll be given a chance to choose between paying the fine (must be huge amount of cash) or staying in prison. Then you can break out your guy in prison. If you fail, you all go to prison and pay a much larger fine.

This!!

 

R* emphasizes the importance of money in the game.

You can let your character rot in prison for like 2-3 in game days to release.

You should be able to choose to pay the bail or break out of prison.

 

Why not have to pay to become a crimeboss of the city?

Make it more realistic.

Once you become rich as a motherf*cker hire a lawyer on your payroll for shorter sentences and some dropped cases

 

Such as, your character gets caught with:

1-2 stars your character would be let out at the police station charged a small fine.

 

3-4 stats your character would be sent to prison (break out or pay significant bail.)

 

5 stars your character would be held at the fib/iaa building as a threat to national security

(break out of there, or plan a human heist to break that character out)

 

All imo though

Im a law and order nerd sad.gif

Sorry, more realistic? They don't take my money IRL. It's annoying enough they take all your weapons.

 

Silly idea. I play GTA to shoot people, drive like a madman and do random sh*t. I shouldn't have to waste my time forced to "break out of jail" when in fact, it's not even realistic in the first place.

Guessing you aren't from the states/don't know much about the penal system.

Once found guilty, courts will make you settle for any damages which may include the state seizing your property(car/home/anything with value/freezing your credit line and bank account) to pay for your actions.

Some states such as South Carolina may charge room and board to the prisoners assuming they still have assets on the outside.

Even crimes like piracy have a dual penalty of prison time and fine.

 

Omg IRL????????

Yea

 

I thought white ppl are smart about this stuff smh

I guess IRL cops let the gangsters keep their ar-15s and rpgs when they get out on bail.

So clearly realistic right

 

What fun is evading arrest when there's no real consequences when caught?

Scrap the jail idea.

So you are saying if you get arrested after shooting up a whole city block of peds and feds in a fighter jet, the cops should let you go at a police station with all your guns and your cash intact?

Video game or not why would anyone be stupid enough to run from the cops when there are zero consequences for getting caught?

 

That's not a simulation, go play saints row, and let the grown folks talk about gta

Should be more consequences I'll agree with that, more reason and thrill to escape and evade the police too if there were to be.

Take the weapons and some money. That's all that needs to be done. I don't want to hang around a prison yard. It's not fun. There's nothing to do or see in there.

 

And maturity doesn't mean giving up everything fun to get an accountancy job and start cutting your wrists at night.

Never said scrap the removal of weapons. I said it's annoying but why cash too?

 

I'm actually wondering why you would want to get caught. I get cops on me to go on a rampage and to have fun, if I get caught then whatever.. at least I have the cash to buy some more weapons. People run from cops because it's an element to the game and it's something to do.

 

Oh and I do have SR, I find it less annoying which is one reason why I play it. Nice try of an insult "grown folks talk GTA". I'm not exactly 10.

You all complain that you dont want to be

punished for playing gta like gta is supposed to be

played. The simple answer is to not get

caught. This gives you incentive to get

busted if youre shooting FIB angents in

the streets.

I agree, more incentive to not get caught, harsher punishments. But not actually having to serve jail time. I wouldn't mind if it was included in the story for a few missions or whatever, something different, and there's loads of possibilities to explore. R* aren't stupid, if it ain't broke, don't fix it
