One Problem in Almost All GTA Games

[Zone-Tan]

I've been that one person to do it, just because... well, why not?

When there's a random event and the cops are in a gun fight with a gang... I wanted to help the cops. Plus, you get ammo and cash from the dead bodies, sometimes guns too! But no, if you punch, or shoot a criminal, even if a cop was near death, you instantly get 2 Stars, everyone shoots at you, game over.... Just why?

[sultangris]

you arent a cop, you are a criminal, dont shoot people with cops around and you wont get stars, M'kay!?

[meetreez]

Probably because it's Police business that you're not to interfere with. This is a very down-to-earth game. You even get a star for running red lights and driving erratically lol.

The main problem with all GTA games - stupid people don't appreciate them.

Ive not experienced that yet, virtually zero cops just randomly driving around to see such activity.

In real life if you interfere and save an Officers life, you're looked at as a hero and good samaritan. I can agree this game has a lot of realistic points, but not in its scripting.

You've not experienced it because it's not true.

If you shot someone in front of the cops in real life they would either shoot you or put your ass in jail, lol!

Yes, no dip. But do it while an Officer is under attack, and there's a different story.

[sultangris]

no not really. You are not deputized, you might be helping them out, but its still illegal for you to do such a thing and you would be prosecuted if they didnt blast ya.

I actually wondered this the other day. I saw a gun fight and helped the criminals and they just drove away and left me to deal with the police. So the next time I saw this happening I helped the police and they turned around and started shooting me instead while the other guys were STILL firing at them. Tch.

WRONG! If I remember correctly it was either vice city or San Andreas that when you killed a guy being chased by cops they wouldn't do anything to you.

Nope. If anything, there would be a request for you to come to Court, and explain your reasonings. Well, I guess I could be wrong if your state or where ever you live has laws that are against that.

You and I are wholly different animals, in that same encounter I shot at the police. Helping the criminals instead.

Really?? I thought the cops hated EVERYONE in San Andreas, and I don't know about that for Vice City, I was busy murdering the clubs and driving like crazy in a dune buggy on the beach B)

But then they ditched you, you got nothing, except several Wanted Stars and they went home free, rich, men.

yea true, everywhere is different I guess, but in real life I aint shooting no one in front of the cops unless my life is in danger, then its self defense, if you go looking for it then its premeditated murder, but regardless in the game I encountered one time where I did the same as you out in hillbilly land and they didnt shoot me till i jacked the briefcases full of money, but every time i tried it since they have shot me, so perhaps the game is just broken/bugged in that regard as it certainly is in many ways. It certainly seems like they do want you to pick a side and help when those events pop up but its never worked correctly except the one time when I helped the cops, and i only helped those bastards cause there was 10 of them and 2 criminals, lol! I tried that same event at least 10 times, and all other times I helped the cops they tried to shoot me before I stole the briefcases full of cash, so I had to wax them too.

If it wasn't San Andreas it was Vice City. The reason I know this, is because I used to do that Lol. But I am dissapointed that you can't do that anymore.. It's fun. I'm just sad GTA V does not have a Sultan or my fav car... The Elegy.

[Mobster124]

If you shoot people when the cops are around then you are going to stars.

[Zone-Tan]

I like walking up to cops, saying "hello" in Franklin's language, the nice way, hehe. And the cops shove me, say some nasty sh*t, and pull out their gun. Like what the hell did I do Officer?!

it actually has both, and two different kinds of sultans. you get the elegy free when you make a social club account and link your psn account. its in your extra garage you buy under special vehicles. sultans are driving around all over if you are in a sports type car to make them spawn.
