Going to jail was implimented lik this

Welcome back aboard, my double agent friend!

Thanks bro!

Now why would it even be pass 5 minutes? you saying 25 makes you seem insane.

5 minutes or 25 minutes, it'd still be boring and awful. If you played Assassin's Creed 3, it'd be like replaying the mission where Connor goes to prison every time you commit a crime in V.

You wouldn't go to jail if you can escape the police. And nor would you go to jail for having 1 - 2 stars. And it wouldn't be boring, If you can pick fights , escape, cause an riot, or just walk around. it would be pretty interesting.

May 31, 2013

i'd be totally against it if there was no option to skip .TBH if it was in i'd only use it once or twice anyway lol

May 31, 2013

Only if I can skip it for free. Because I don't want to be in prison and don't want to be punished for not wanting to be in prison.

Two topics on the same thing.

Anyhow when you're busted in any GTA game you lose cash so skipping it should take your cash. Braking out on the other hand means you keep your cash and maybe it'll let you retrieve your weapons if you wish.

Remove all the cutscenes, add orange jumpsuits, change the prison's architecture a bit, change the guards' uniforms and replace their weapon with a tazer -- you got what OP's suggesting.

Now imagine having to do this EVERY TIME after you do a rampage.

Also, in GTA IV it was pretty much impossible to escape a 4 star or higher wanted level unless you had the girlfriend who could get rid of some wanted stars for you or Francis McReary as a friend.

Not to mention, some people just want the game to do rampages. Only 30% GTA IV players actually played through the whole game's main story, Rockstar has to make it appeal to everybody.

Fair enough. How about a fee of one dollar. Because f*ck jail, that's why.

But you wouldn't go threw it everytime you go on a rampage. Remember past 3 stars the cops just begin to shoot at you anyway. The only reason you're going to jail after three stars is because you have given up. So it would be your choice to surrender. You just don't have an open mind, so you can't think.

Wait, you're saying that there should be a prison even though nearly nobody would access it? How many times in GTA IV did you surrender to the cops?

Imagine this:

You're 75 hours into V -- you're absolutely loving it. Would be game of the decade if it wasn't for having to spend 5 minutes in prison every time you do a rampage.

You're on your way to the last mission. The suspense from the last mission is killing you. You're so excited thinking about how awesome it's going to be -- until you accidentally ram a police car! The police car starts chasing you and you drive away. Trying desperately to get away, you accidentally run over some peds, thus bringing your wanted level to 2.

More cops are coming after you. You accidentally crash your car into a police car while driving at the fastest it can go, making whoever you're playing as fly out the windshield and hit a wall. You lose more than 30% of your health. Your car blows up, killing some cops and bringing your wanted level to 3. Cops start making roadblocks. You hijack another car, and crash into a roadblock. You get out and kill the cops. Wanted level 4. The swat's after you.

A swat helicopter appears from the sky, and shoots you while swat officers rappel down. You run away as fast as you can. The swat officers start shooting you, so you start shooting them. You take a look at your wanted level. Wanted level 5. The military's after you. After trying to get away, the military finally finds you and blows up your car with a tank.

You wake up in prison, having to spend 5 minutes in this boring, repetitive side mission. Enraged, you shut off your console and stay away from V for a week.

Now you're making up scenarios? And the only way you got busted in GTA 4 was when the cop opened the door of your car. And I recommend you not to play if you're going to get busted by a cop by smashing into their car. It's going to actually be easier to escape the police. and If the military blows up your car with a tank, don't you think you'd be waking up in the hospital instead of a prison? You make no sense what so ever. So basically you're just telling me after 3 stars you are a dead man if you don't escape the police, right? How are you going to end up in prison if you die?

May 31, 2013

One dollar, skip sentence. That's all I'm giving. One dollar to skip the whole thing. Jail is not fun for me. I don't want to be there.

I responded in a creative way to counter your argument I cannot think "openly" (which can be said for you as you only think about the features it includes, not when players get sick of it). Yes, you basically are a dead man when past 3 stars (at least in IV). If rockstar wanted people to experience this, then they'd make it so every time you get killed by the police, you'd end up in prison.

Start using common sense, stop thinking something should be in a game just because it's "cool".

I just don't like change that locks me off from the open world freedom because I broke a traffic law!

I don't like sh*t that would get in my way when all I want to do is blow sh*t up and fly planes and ride atvs and climb mountains and go to amusement parks and speed down the highway in my sports car without having to wait in jail on every single bust.

Imagine going to prison every time you do a rampage for this 25 minute long filler.

Wtf do you guys keep saying you will go to jail after every bust? Did you not read the OP? Read again and you will see how silly your exaggerations are. 1st, you only go to city jail if you get busted with 4 or more stars and 2nd, only if you DONT give up. If you give up you avoid jail altogether and respawn in front of the police station. 3rd, you only go to prison after 3 strikes (go to jail 3 times) but again you can avoid gaining any strikes period by simply giving up so just stop it with these nonsense gripes.

All I said was that just because something works in one game doesn't mean it'll work in another.

My idea is not in any other game so wtf are you talking about? You're basing your opinion on how another game did the jail aspect which is nothing like this idea? lol Stop reaching man you're looking like a fool.

I don't want to be in prison and don't want to be punished for not wanting to be in prison.

...it'd still be boring and awful.

Again go back and read the OP because you're just blabbing blindly. You DO NOT have to go to jail. You can avoid it by giving up which will respawn you in front of the police station. Only when you resist til the end will you go to jail.

i think this is very interesting. good thread. could bring new depth and immersion to the game.

With almost all ideas, they would work well if implemented in the right way. Yes, this also goes for fuel despite lots of people -same to what's happening here- acting like it would be implemented in what just happens to be the worst way possible, thus it obviously shouldn't be in the game.

I like this idea, and there are two ways that immediately came to mind when I read it: if you want to break out, knock out a policeman. If you want to cage fight against 10 people, knock out a policeman; or, if you get arrested by a policeman at your car door during a rampage, cause a riot, break out, continue rampage. Like the OP said, if you don't want to be in prison and you accidentally get arrested (which won't happen every time you get stars unlike some people are insinuating), you can just skip it if you really want to. It adds to the gameplay, adds a unique area, and it's optional. What's the problem?

Oh, personal preference, but I appreciate an OP less if the start off with 'hear me out'. People who that is targeted to have already read the title and won't read the post, making a fool of themselves in the comments anyway.

Why not just see it as a further incentive to not get arrested? It wasn't hard to not get arrested in IV. To please everyone you should either have the option to pay off the bail, similar in price to hospital fees, or serve the sentence, as believe me, many people including myself would like to at least try out this feature. No one complained about prison in Skyrim, a system in which you also had the option to pay a fine instead.

No you responded with an exaggerated scenario with made up aspects that is not within the rules of the idea to make your gripe seem legitimate which is what he meant. Even going by the scenario you posted you're wrong in your assumption. 1st, you wouldnt go to "prison" in that instance. You would go to city jail for a day but like I mentioned earlier you could avoid that by giving up resulting in you respawning in front of the police station. So resisting until arrested = jail and giving up = respawn in front of the police station. Got it? Now if you went to city jail 2 times already "before" this scenario then yes you would go to prison but even then it wont be a boring 5 minute repetitive side mission like you claim. You can skip the whole sentence which would take a few seconds. I don't know where the hell you got 5 minutes from so yeah.

My counterargument to that is that trouble with the law is much more likely (hell, guaranteed) in GTA V through normal gameplay. This is not the case in Skyrim*, and it's more of an optional choice. Even involving yourself in "criminal" storylines (Dark Brotherhood, Thieves' Guild) doesn't really force criminal punishment upon you unless you go looking for it, or screw something up.

*EDIT: For the most part...before people start listing specific examples
