This was promised in GTAIV, among other things, do you all think we can finally do this?

Lol no not really, what is the point, climb up a pole JUST to climb back down again?

"Look at me firmly grasping this long hard pole."

The ability to say that would be the only purpose of that feature.

I wonder why R* even considered this? Better sniping position? What if you slip off of that sh*t?

 

OP: I have to say no. I don't see the point.

This reminds me of the "Can we ride Chop" thread.

 

It would be fun to climb poles and then jump all the way down again confused.gif

It would be fun to climb a pole then jump all the way down and land on chop so we can ride him into the sunset

This was one of the cut features of GTAIV that wasn't missed, unlike the MP3 player and functioning trunks.

Now that I think of it, the physics in Rockstar games are so bad on ledges/heights anyways, what would be the point? I'd fall off with the wrong push of a button anyways.

What if we can climb on top of a pole, stand on top of the said pole, and slide down the electrical wire, keeping your balance until you reach the other pole, and then you can climb down the other pole? I see telephone poles and electrical wire being my #1 medium of transportation in GTA 5!

I would recommend inFamous and its sequel, sir. If you have a PS3 that is.

I'd love Mirrors Edge type parkour abilities, so I say yes. On foot mechanics seem the area that could use the most improvement. I'd love to be able to jump from a car, roll, and pop to my feet. "Hit the ground runnin'"

Why are you guys so hostile in this thread? I think it would provide some pretty good sniping spots if we can climb. One of the things I hated in GTA IV was how you couldn't climb those cranes in the middle of the city. You could however take a chopper up there and with some finess, you could land on top of it and use it as an awesome sniping position. Still though, climbing the damn thing would've made it that much easier.

Exactly, I love getting on top of buildings, it was a near little trick in L.A Noire, in IV it was a pain in the butt, I always wanted to parkour around, or just to cause mayhem from a rooftop, but I couldn't find any good spots to do it, without getting in and out of a chopper 50 times. Then at the end of EFLC they throw in a clip of a couple of people just parkouring like 20 buildings! Ah if I could have climbed up easier.

 

The other annoying thing was the fire escape ladders, you could sometimes get onto them, but they stopped like 2 metres shy of the roof so you couldn't get up that way either!

im a lineman... its not all its cracked up to be, especially with energized lines above your head, although they did climb a pole to kill a security system in heat and the game appears to have taken a lot of influence from that game. i think if its in though itll be a cutscene.

Who understands this reference:

 

"We've got a big pole in our goal."

/offtopic

 

 

 

Speaking generally, there should be no artificial climbing restrictions. I hate all that business where you can climb ladder A, but you can't climb ladder B. Those fire escapes in GTA:IV were bloody annoying; they were within reach, yet you couldn't jump, grab onto them and then climb up. The ability to climb drainpipes and other objects might be handy too.

 

It's not like we would be asking for some strange superhuman ability either. Just things within the normal range of human capability.
