Technobabble Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Even with cover, they tend to land some pretty stupid shots occasionally. Naturally these shots also happen to take a huge chunk out of you. Combined with the fact they fire fast and well... I'm not complaining about the AI, I'm complaining about the fact they are super accurate and hard hitting, Anyone else feel this way? This game really doesn't seem as fun as 4 when it comes to killing sprees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midniteryu Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I find the cops in some ways too aggressive ( especially at 1 star) and also their too responsive at times, but I have seen them pull off some great shots from time to time. When I'm in a shoot out I typically move as much as can and only hunker down to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwin Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I agree, I remember finishing one of the side missions where i had to kill some guy at the golf course and get his clubs. Well i made a clean getaway there were no cops on the map and i hid inside a parking garage until my wanted level cooled down, needless to say an cop found me EXACTLY where i was even thought there was no possible way he would have known i was in the 3rd floor of an parking lot. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg101 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yeah, they are WAY to omniscient. They can turn a corner and land a shotgun blast with NO WAY of knowing you're there. Not to mention the whole none in a 4 block radius until you shove someone, then they're f*cking EVERYWHERE. I really dislike the cops in this game. Which is really a shame, because this city could offer SO much fun if it weren't for the overzealous, cops who have no sense of priorities. In the middle of shootout? HEY THAT GUY SHOVED SOME ONE! GET HIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobabble Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) They need to either bump up the health for single player, or make the cops inaccurate/not as all-seeing, or do all of that. GTA4 multiplayer you had glass bones and paper skin, but the non-SWAT/FIB cops were not very accurate. In this game you have butter skin with milk bones. Even as Trevor i find myself having a hard time dealing with them without using auto aim or camping a corner. This can easily be patched though. Hopefully once GTA online comes out, Things like new interiors will also apply to GTA5 EDIT: Also, for those that keep saying "LOL YOU'RE A NOOB, GET BODY ARMOR AND CAMP THE AMMU-NATION LIKE A MAN" As much as i love playing the game in the most boring way possible, I on the other hand wish to express my hatred for this campy playstyle. Granted, once GTAO comes out, shootouts with the cops will be more viable due to having some friends to assist you and having more interiors.. But as far as single player goes, it's not fun. IT'S NOT FUN. "Well i think it's fu-" SHUT UP, YOU'RE WRONG. Edited September 22, 2013 by Technobabble dg101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midniteryu Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hopefully it's something they can update in a patch. I had one incident where I deserved the over aggressiveness. Stole a SUV ( Escalade looking one) had to outrun the LSPD hid in an alley. After the heat wore off tried to drive out only to have my path blocked by a bunch of hobos in the alleyway, honked my horn and flashed my high beams. Out of the 6 hobos there all but one moved out of the way, this particular one was drunk and flipped me off saying " F*** you man". I politely decide to move him with my SUV, but I didn't notice the stairway and so I ended up ramping off it with the now dead hobo on my hood and landing right in front of the downtown LSPD station with at least 6 cops in the out front.... Needless to say it was an awkward moment for all parties involved, lol. GothamWinterWarz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterRawgers Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yeah they seem extremely accurate which is lame, they shouldn't be landing shots into me when they're on foot 50 yards behind me and I'm driving away in a vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nfurtado77 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yea I would prefer if the cops were less aggressive so you could actually have fire fights instead it being over in 10 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivionskate Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 wayy too accurate. in previous GTA's your car would be covered in bulllet holes after about 3 stars. Now your car has no bullet holes because the cops hit you every time through where the window use to be -_-. their firing rate is also abnormally fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Vacuum Seal Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 IRL, cops are generally good shots who don't give up easily. It could be implemented in a more realistic fashion though. "shut up, sit down, relax" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munx Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) They wouldn't be very good policemen if they didnt know how to handle theyr gun. I can survive quite long even standing in the middle of the street without no cover and without using auto aim, they are definatly alot stronger, but also far from to strong. Personally I find it to be a good balance. Personally I am more worried about the ai that try to rush you, can be a pain to deal with in free aim.

WPCatfish Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've noticed that while their incoming fire is quite accurate, if you can put a little distance between you and them, they don't all rush you at once, so you can pick a few off and wait for the rest, or evade further.

Revoemag Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 We should have am option to surrender.. Sometimes I just want the chase to end,..not saying I don't enjoy the chase tho. I agree one star is aggressive more that necessary.. Cops should give tickets or something at one star,..beat you with nightsticks at 2 stars...guns come blazin at 3 stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjspeed Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 They are not TOO anything. They're law enforcers. They go through training. They're fine. If you can't deal with them stop doing things that get their attention. I'm sick of people complaining about the supposed difficult issues with this game. Nothing in this game is too hard, nor too easy luckily. Get over it or stop playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well i think it's fu-" SHUT UP, YOU'RE WRONG. what is the diff. between glass bones and milk bones? glass bones mean the player is fragile right? but it's way easier to die in V than IV. milk bones sound like the player would be strong but again, it's much easier to get killed in V than before, imo. and what is butter skin? these are tasty words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisGodfrey Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Guys, you seem to forget, bullets hurt... I like one or two cops actually being a threat, means you have to think and move fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilencedScream Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I don't mind the bullets doing the damage that they do, but the AI -is- super accurate, compared to pretty much any other shooter. During a particular graveyard shootout (which I will not elaborate any further on for spoilers' sake), I was getting consistently hit by people that were about fourteen car lengths away (trying to get an actually measurable distance). They would duck behind cover, then stand and shoot with about a 3/4 of a second of aiming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cswood Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 They are not TOO anything. They're law enforcers. They go through training. They're fine. If you can't deal with them stop doing things that get their attention. I find this comment and this train of thought to be unbelievably silly. In that case your character should be in the hospital or dead after getting shot the very first time you load the game and the game should be over after that instance and you should no longer be able to play the game at all. Look, I'm pretty sure most of us play these games to have fun. The "realism" of the game should not conflict with having fun. Some of us just want to rampage and run from the cops for 20 minutes just like we've done in the past games. Here it's closer to 20 seconds and I am not having fun. I even laid down $3 mill to buy a tank so I could go rampaging and the tank blows up after about 40 seconds after I get the first star. Why would they charge $3 mill for a tank that can be brought down by small arms fire from cops? THAT'S NOT REALISTIC! I don't want to hate the game, it's a beautiful game and i've already put a lot of hours into it, but this is becoming a deal breaker. I am seriously thinking about selling the game simply because your player dies too easily even if you've got full armer and weapons and the cops kill you way too fast. Not. Fun.
