RatchetAZ Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Is it just me or has the shooting and killing in the GTA games become predictable, in other words a little boring. The games are great some could of done with a bit more work to them but nothing can be done now. But the main thing is that once everything is done, I mean everything there isn't much to do apart from rampages and killing, and I find that a little boring and pointless. I'd like to do something other than that at times. I know R* designed the games to be like that, but not everything has to do with killing.

SmoothGetaway Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Hardly. In my current save Franklin has over 5000 kills total, with over half of that being law enforcement. The civvies that die are...well... 'I thiink your countree calls dat cohlaatterhahl demage' Terrain and cover play such a huge role this time. I haven't even gotten comfortable enough to turn the HUD off, as I eventually did with all GTA's and RDR. Once that happens the combat in the game will take on a life of its own.

Fuzzknuckles Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Sometimes I wish there was a passive mode in SP where instead of guns, you have presents and when you pull the trigger you toss someone like a pair of socks or something nice, but it would be a practical gift that would be really grateful for. When you build up enough special by giving people presents you can activate super-nice-guy mode and you pull the trigger to have a little cuddle with the nearest pedestrian. Instead of cars there'd be a whole bunch of sofas that you could sit on and they gently hover along at about 5mph. Instead of motorbikes there'd be armchairs. When you customise your character you'd get to choose from different pyjamas and onesies and you can get cocoa at the strip club. Instead of stripping the strippers would just have a nice cup of tea and a sit down and they'd offer to rub your shoulders.

DeafMetal Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) It definitely does not have the wow factor it had back when III or even Vice City were released and that's perfectly natural. But it's a staple of the series and you can't really do much with it. Edited December 5, 2013 by DeafMetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothGetaway Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Next time I go to a strip bar I'm totally asking for hot cocoa and a back rub.

Giles Flaggot 1 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 @ --- Fuzzknuckles --- Hahaha!!! Socks! Tbh OP, I feel like V is more or a driving simulator for me, I spend over an hour at LS Customs and then explore the map driving and doing touch-ups to my cars. In RDR I just hunt finished the game multiple times but I feel like that has hunting sim written all over it, maybe because I'm a more casual gamer everything feels oh so real, that's just me. I can play the game for days without shooting and yes, you are right, sometimes the game can get boring, I find myself putting it down for a few days but always end up going back - no game compares at this point even though it has its flaws ReekyAlex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just call GTA V's driving a simulator? you better not drive a real carWell, maybe simulator is a strong word but what I meant was that I turned it into a driving game for my own entertainment, not on the level of City Car Simulator or games like that but I know a lot of us enjoy driving around for hours - hope they mod cockpit cam on PC version I also find myself scratching my aviation itch with the flying part of the game too - to each his own Edited December 5, 2013 by Giles Flaggot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, all this made me laugh hard looool @ OP For real why are you complaining. GTA V is the first GTA to have very little to no crime-related side missions. You can do yoga, play tennis or golf, run triathlon, do bike riding on hills and mountains, base jumping, jet-skiing, car races, there is so much leisure and outdoor stuff you can do if you don't wanna shoot or kill people.

I recommend to just dive into the no-hud experience, it's fun to be a noob again (God it has been ages since I used that word). Also, for me, the total package of a GTA game is getting a bit repetitive, but that's just me ageing and becoming a grumpy old bag. I think the shooting mechanism (with no auto-aim) is one of the more addictive features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[µT] Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The shooting and killing became predictable playing GTA 3 at release for 30 minutes, but that doesn't mean it's not fun.. and what alternative is there other than Fuzzy's suggestion? Do you want to telepathically strangle people like Darth Vader in GTA? lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzknuckles Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Shooting and killing became predictable when the second or third game to feature shooting and killing was released. I'm not talking GTA. I'm talking games in general. It's formulaic because it sells. If people stop buying games with shooting and killing, people will stop making them. MATHS. IT'S SIMPLE.
