If you could change one thing about GTA V, what would it be?

[jmack3d]

Online or singleplayer, if you were one of the top decision makers at R* and had the power to change one thing in the game what would you pick?

 

Just curious to see everyones thoughts. More than one idea is fine if they're good, just try and keep it to one main change and then a few smaller changes if you wish

I'll start.

 

My biggest gripe about online now is the deathmatch mode. Its too simple and non rewarding. There should be more respawns! Since everyone has one life it turns into everyone getting behind cover and waiting for the first player to get bored and run out. Then if your team loses you get nothing at all, no rp, no $, nothing... At least throw in some rp even if you lose.

 

And include more deathmatch game types. An all vs all mode, jets vs jets, cops and robbers and objective games ect...

 

And also let us be able to be cops online, where you can get a lspd outfit and car and be able to pursue players who have bounties or commit crimes. Not likely i know but i would enjoy it

i simply would stop making changes to missions, not only they cut in half all the payouts but with the latest patch they increased the difficulty of quite few missions while paying out the same...

 

there was this super easy, 3 minute mission named Potshot, you just had to kill a total of 3 guys, steal a van and deliver to trevol, 7k payout in 4 mins max.

 

now the same mission have like 40 man spawning everywhere, it look like a survival.

 

i always side with R* and argue that they are not pushing people toward the shark cards but with every patch it get more evident, making super hard for people to earn cash without glitching.

I agree 100%. Seen this a bunch of times with games that offer cash/gold for your real money. Easy way to get more profit for them, makes payouts and cash in game harder to get, force players who want nice things to bust out the credit card.

That this game never existed

[XAIKON]

Couldn't care less about online so my changes relate to SP:

 

Enemy shot accuracy - THIS is the number 1 thing I would change, but secondarily:

 

-Police response / psychic ability

-Make characters slightly stronger - You die too easily as it is

-More interiors (at least being able to enter mission interiors) - less useless underwater areas -

-Heists that are actually fun and rewarding, like the vangelico and the final heist.

-The Fact that no major DLC's will be released

- Side activities like bowling, dating etc

 

I could go on for a while but they are the main ones, I would at least be motivated to insert the game into the console at least one more time.

[Fuzzknuckles]

As people may have guessed by now, I love the single player. LOVE it. Can't be arsed with the online yet.

 

My only gripe, and it's utterly trivial, is that the size of the text in-game is way too small. Like, stupidly small. I have had to move closer to the screen to read it many times. When I completed the letter scraps, I had to get right up to the screen to read the note.

 

Other than that, I really like the game. I love the driving, I like the landscape, I like the story and the characters and the way the game handles.

 

Maybe when I finally give in and give the online another go I'll feel differently.

I'm assuming you would want the enemies to be less accurate? As they are now it seems like all enemies are elite Navy Seal snipers.

 

Also a small complaint, but the crosshair is too faint even with brightness turned up. Can barely see it half the time

Friendly fire option for free mode.

My main change about GTA V would be that I would try to ensure there was a much greater focus on the single player experience. Sorry, I gotta lot to say on this lol. See below.

 

I would implement things like :

 

* First thing I'd do is to remove Trevor as a protagonist and make him a non-playable character and antagonist. I'd have replaced him with an American guy of Hispanic descent that's a Los Santos native with ties to both Chicano gangs and Mexican drug cartels.

 

* Longer, much more interesting, and better written main storyline, 69 missions is a joke. I'd make sure that Franklin would have had a had a more significant presence all throughout the game and that he'd have a much more interesting storyline, like getting him to be more involved with the hood and gangs. Lamar would have a bigger presence too. I would have also added more major heists than just the six in V.

 

* I would totally change the storyline's later focus on the corrupt cop/federal agent/Merryweather angle - that sh*t was boring after a short while, I'd make sure that took a backseat. Along with heists, my storyline and script would focus heavily on dealings/conflict with Mexican drug cartels, street gangs and various other crime groups like Armenian Power, Russian Mob and Triads. Corrupt cops would feature, but much less.

 

* Much more accessible interiors that would include your own business premises, fast food joints, restaurants, cafes, nightclubs, bars, hospitals, hotels, casinos, and office buildings.

 

* Much better fun and interesting side missions and activities, especially great stuff from previous GTA titles like gang wars, gang recruitment, drug-dealing, hijacking/sabotaging drug deals or stealing drugs from rival gangs, various illegal/legal gambling, illegal fighting, stealing vehicles for money. The gang and drug-dealing stuff was aimed especially at Franklin. I would also make sure that Michael had more side missions than that piece of sh*t handful he got in V.

 

* The ability to buy and choose your own safehouse property, and being able to buy more than just one, maybe with a limit of 3 or 4. The ability to sell your property in order to buy another one too.

 

* A much bigger city of Los Santos in size with more ghettos, working-class residential areas and ordinary suburbs. Los Santos in V had very little middle ground in it's layout and design. A small chunk of Los Santos was ghetto and the overwhelming majority of the rest the city was made up of the downtown and either very rich, or upmarket areas. My reason for a bigger LS is that I felt the countryside and wilderness was not of much use, not much happened out there and there was not enough good and interesting things to do.

 

* Created another city like San Fierro or a fictional San Diego. As big and beautiful as it was and looked, I felt the countryside and wilderness in V was not of much use, not much happened out there and there was not enough good and interesting things to do. It was a bit of waste, a bigger LS and another main city would have been a better option and I'd have chosen that. I would have added more smaller towns too.

 

Lesser priority changes :

 

* I would add a better range of pistols and SMGs. I would have added Glocks, Colt M1911s, Sig Sauers, Mac-10s and Tec-9s, and better customization, what happened to the color black in V ? It just disappeared.

 

* Bigger range of haircuts for all protagonists. V did not have enough haircut options

 

* More jewelry to buy like expensive watches, chains, bracelets and rings. How Franklin can strive to make all those millions and just buy little diamond studs is beyond me. And smart, dapper-looking guy like Michael cannot even think to wear a nice Rolex with his nice suits.

 

* Dating brought back. A guy can't be always f**king prostitutes, it's nice to work towards getting some decent p*ssy once in a while.

 

* Better and bigger range of wildlife. More natural habitat like dense, dark forests, not just mountains and hills.

More Story, 70 missions goes by pretty quick, feels like the shortest story since III.

[BarelyLegal]

INTERIORS! Imagine if abandoned shacks out in the boonies were enterable, with hidden items/easter-eggs inside!

[Jonboy507]

So many things lol. Most important to me: a proper free mode online.

[erbalist]

GTAV - More Story. 69 Missions is unacceptable even if they were all good (Which they're not)

GTAO - Reset and Ban all cheaters

[GrndZero]

Create an option for Free Mode to have a friendly fire option. Doing this would fix any problems I have with the game.

You're not wrong about the text size. In fact, everything in the game seems small. The routes are a bit harder to follow with the radar change too, it's like the VCS radar where the player icon is slightly off.

Since people have already listed things like interiors and cop accuracy (which I agree with), i'll list a real annoyance of mine personally.

 

The wasted screen. To be frank, it sucks. 9/10 the screen fades to black before your body even hits the ground. I would have much rather they kept the wasted screen from IV where you could actually see what happened after your death, whether it be the police shooting at you to "confirm" the kill, the grenade that you had in your hand going off causing a chain reaction, or your body tumbling down Mount Chilliad.

[Buford T Justice]

Make the vehicles feel more natural

Make the car customization useful

Give road cars less grip when they are off road

Give vehicles more pushing power

Reduce the amount of super head shots NPCs are able to pull off

Make vehicles less explodey (I hate backing over a moped with my Patriot and blowing up)

Let me save any vehicle I want (like the bulldozer and 18 wheelers)

Make it so I don't get the cops called on me for farting too loud

Let me leave my car engine on

 

Those are the main issues that annoy the hell out of people with a brain

[Gtaman_92]

I will add San Diego into the game and more deserts and forests. V's map despite its size is missing so many key locations that would of made it more the perfect recreation of Southern California.

The plotholes in the story. Yeah, those need to be changed.

Please don't post in really old topics. It bumps them to the top of the board creating a duplicate thread.

 

This is a complaints topic and we already have one of those.
