johntheguy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Since the map is one large island, with the most populous areas being close to the coastline, boats and jetskis will most likely be the most efficient method of travel when you need to get somewhere fast. I'm happy about this. Can't wait to own my own personal vessel and go tearing around the ocean. I will become intimately familiar with all of the docks and ports in Los Santos. Anybody agree or have a different take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johntheguy Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Keep in mind it will be a lot easier to obtain a boat than a f*cking helicopter. If you need to rip over to LS airport from Blaine County, boat is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gevans81 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 This boat below looks pretty f*cking neat, though I'd be worried about meeting any bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddit39 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think aircraft will be easiest way to get around. head to the nearest airport, grab a plane, and ditch it near anough to where you want to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprunkJunkie Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 In SA the jetpack was best way to get around, specially if u used the spawn code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-M-O-K-E Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I will be using all forms of transportation. Driving will likely be the most used method for me but certainly will use watercraft, aircraft, trains & whatever else we have at our disposal. Hopefully we can buy a property with a garage, airstrip, dock & helipad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzmorg82 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It really depends on where you're going though, but I believe it's easier to just drive or fly around the whole map. Keep in mind it will be a lot easier to obtain a boat than a f*cking helicopter. Cheat codes. Even though I wont use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwaha Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hmm. Good luck getting to Sandy Shores with a boat. If a helicopter or a plane is too hard to get a car beats a boat. There are a whole lot of villages on the map that are out off reach for a boat or a boat is simply going to take a lot longer than a car to get anywhere quickly.

Well, lets say I'm in Del Pierro and I need to get to Sandy Shores. Seems to me like hopping in a boat and moving north up the coastline will get me there quicker than fighting through LS traffic. That's assuming I don't have a plane and won't be using cheats, which I never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAV92 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 You would have thought using the boats more in previous GTA's was better because their was multiple islands, But i hardly ever found myself using boats, So with one big island why would i start using them? apart from the odd dive of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backfire6 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Actually Driving and flying would be the best way. Boat is by far the worse way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA 360 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The only problem is a boat can't get you to the doorstep, you might be able to get to the same town as the other person but you have to find alternate transport to get to their house.

killahmatic Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm not sure why that makes boats the best way. Helis and planes are faster. Not to mention a main highway takes you right around the edge of the map so cars are a great way too. Jetskis will be fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basteroid Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Boating is an inconvenient and slow method of travel. You'll travel much faster by land or air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntheguy Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ok, well I at least think boats will be a lot of fun. Can't wait to have a high speed boat chase while firing an automatic at my pursuers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntheguy Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Boating is an inconvenient and slow method of travel. You'll travel much faster by land or air. Nah, if I'm in a speedboat I'll get from one end of the map to the other way before you make it in a car. Planes are another story, but again, it's not like planes are gonna be easy to come by.

AshMan306 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The problem i see with boats is...well waves slow you down. I noticed on GTA IV while doing the triathlons that at night the waves were a bit too rough. So id have to say car to get about at 1st them plane.

I think you are forgetting LS isn't a hollow ring, there is inland too you know.... a car is a lot faster than a boat.

Aeleys Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Nah...helicopters, especially since controls are same the same as IV's. Well GTAIV never had crosswinds and such, so the controls might be the same but the handling is different making it entirely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
