Rockstar didn't overhype this game - YOU did.

[Official General]

 

think you are missing the point, man. We are talking about Franklin's trailer and how R* overhyped gangbanging. Not wether gangbanging had to be in-game or not, nor hating on the game nor R* either (at least I'm not).

Of course there is more crime apart from gangs, but if R* wasn't going to focus Franklin on being a gangbanger for a big part in the story, then the trailer shouldn't have touched the gang theme at all.

 

@ Zodape

 

I have previously tried explaining the same thing several times to both niko bellic half brother and woggleman, but they just never seem to listen or get the message.

 

Good luck with that

 

@ FranklinDeRoosvelt

 

You misread my post, I never said the cop/FIB missions were crime free. My point was that half the game was spent doing jobs for them, which made the story feel kinda boring and tiresome.

I love how Official General continually insists on trying to claim V is a 'cops and leisure' game. He must still be living in La La Land where he thinks there's no government coruption on a global criminal enterprise scale.

 

Oh, and by your logic...

 

Vice City had clothes shopping = leisure game

San Andreas had a gym and basketball = leisure game

IV had pool and bowling = leisure game

 

And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the whole story of San Andreas revolve around CJ being the bitch-boy for a certain Officer Tenpenny?

Him and Mike Toreno as well. MIke had you going to flight school and stealing fighter jets for him. The missions were still very fun as are the missions in V. Both options in the Bureau raid mission are great as is Three's Company and Blitz Play.

No of course not. It mostly revolved around CJ rejoining his gang, regrouping them, restoring them to their former glory by going to war with their gang rivals, mainly the Ballas. CJ only started getting bullied into doing jobs for the cops only because they they got hold of his brother Sweet in jail, and that was well into the game. And he did stuff for Officers Tenpenny and Pulaski just sporadically, it was nowhere near anything like for half the game, unlike GTA V. CJ even kills Officer Pulaski halfway through the game.

 

In addition to that, huge chunks of the story in SA revolved around CJ's encounters with a drug-trafficking syndicate (Loco syndicate), illegal cross-country car racing, the Triads (Woozie), the Mafia crime families in Las Venturas, weed farm in the countryside, and more other stuff. Come on bruv, don't be talking such bullsh*t.

So by that, you could say V was about Michael connecting with his family, or him getting them back. Or Trevor trying to find out the truth about what happened in Yankton. Or Franklin looking for more big time criminality. Or all of them looking for that big final payday.

 

See how it works both ways?

Franklin's trailer. Pure gangsta sh*t, we ended up with three missions. Of course, they said that the story was focused around heists, but if you look at Franklins trailer you would expect a lot of gangster crap going on. Nope, three missions and that's it. They should have focused his trailer on something else rather than being a gangster.

 

Indeed

 

This one thing the Rockstar Defence Force cannot deny. That sh*t was definitely overhyped, no question about it. I can still remember being filled with crazy amounts of adrenaline and excitement watching that trailer.

I don't think overhyped is the word.

 

Franklins trailer was absolutely implied to gang stuff though. I'd say implied over overhyped. The implication led to the overhype.

It was a way to overhype, dude. Accept it instead of being a dumbass saying, "it wazn overhypin it was implocation her der"

 

You act so smart, and yet, you prove yourself to be stupid.

 

"It was a way to overhype, dude."[/size]

 

Ok, cool. In order to overhype, you have to do something first. Guess what that something was? Implying gangs had a big role. Implying comes before the overhyping.

 

You seem a little mad...

I act smart but prove I am stupid. Before you resort to namecalling like a typical ignorant user, why don't you look at how you act sometimes. You can act stupid, I have watched your posts since 2012 and you get so hyped and silly. You're being a f*cking idiot right now just because you disagree with somebody.

 

Now to my point. You guys act like Rockstar are completely honest and that they can do no wrong, that they are perfect. The fact is that they did overhype certain parts of the game whether you like it or not. Before you start flaming, I am going to go ahead and say that every company overhypes their games in at least one way or another.

 

If you're going to rule me as stupid, then you mine as well shut the f*ck up because nobody in here is completely and utterly stupid other than the actual trolls.

Nor did V, there's only 8 missions that involve the bereu. You guys over-exaggerate like if there weren't any corrupted Goverment officials or Law enforcement officers in GTA games.

You make it sound like if from the start you were forced to be the bitch of Steve Haines. (BTW THE STORY NEVER INVOLED CORRUPTED COPS, JUST FEDS, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT)

 

Remember U.L Paper, Officer Tenpenny and Pulaski, Leon McAffrey & Ray, oh and the crooked cops from TLAD?

Yup and at the end you get to kill Steve Haines if you choose option C plus Trevor rips off the feds on a couple occasions.

It probably felt like it because three of those missions were heists, which required all the planning. Y'know heists....the thing you guys conveniently keep forgetting is the main theme of the game everytime you keep claiming V to be a "hurr working for the cops boring crap game hurr".

So let me get this straight:

 

People are hating this game, over-looking everything V has to offer, simply because R* implied, not confirmed, that there would be loads of gangbanging stuff storywise in this game because of Franklins trailer, a trailer that doesn't lie one bit about what can be done in the game?

 

And you people wonder why we accuse you of overhyping yourselves, or wanting a San Andreas 2.0?

 

Ok then...I'm out...

Although your point is a good one, I am under the impression that some of you all think anyone who says V is overhyped is hating on V fully and not appreciating what it has to offer.

 

I personally feel some features were overhyped, but I do appreciate some of the content V has to offer. What made me take a break from V was that constant feeling of, "There was so much opportunity with this R*, why did you all just overlook it". There were some wishes I knew would not come trie, but some wishes like actually hard AI racing or more garage property for SP or a creepy countryside were very, very possible but overlooked. Racing wit AI feels dumb because you'll always drive better. The car list in this game is the biggest in GTA but we can only buy one 4 car garage per character, wtf? The countryside is pretty to look at but can get boring and nothing feels isolated nor creepy. The cops had potential with their smarter tactis, but they became overpowered and annoying. Just, sh*t like that.

Well getting all the money right off the cuff isn't exactly going to give you much drive to push forward with the game, is it? (It actually reminds me of the online money glitchers who want everything at once). You still make plenty enough dough as you progress to buy nice things, and you also have an in-game stock market to increase your money, which was a nice little touch (*directs you to the whiners complaining there's no casino to increase your money)

 

Had every heist been for the FIB, I would've been inclined to agree with you. However, they weren't. Working for the Feds was a huge new element to the game, sure. But the heists + planning were the biggest and main missions in the game (in quite a unique way we haven't seen in GTA before), so yes, it was the main objective, thus the main theme.

[Officer Ronson]

Actually, you got paid for doing these, except Michael in the Bereu Raid Mission. You got paid between the Thousand Ks.

Rest assured, I'm not labeling you all as haters of this game. As I mentioned before, I myself got overhyped at times through that long two year period, but I also had the sense to remind myself that no matter how epic this game looked, we were still dealing with 8 year old hardware, and thus, not to get too crazy with my expectations.

 

I'm not for one second claiming R* are innocent of at points overhyping V, but they are a company marketing their product, what do you expect? The only thing you can do as a consumer is have the sense to not get your head wrapped too much into fairytale land, otherwise you're simply setting yourself up for disappointment. This forum and its sky-high speculation didn't help matters either.

 

Get excited for a game, sure. But try to keep your feet on the ground at the same time.

 

Also, there's a certain collective of members around this place who look for every nook and cranny to hate on V simply because they didn't get their precious feature from a previous GTA. This is who I target.

Don't be so silly. I loved the idea of heists being the main theme - just not for cops or feds. I was so glad to have heists as the main theme in GTA V, it was a nice break from that hitman stuff we got in GTA IV. The bottom line for me, is that second half of the game just felt like most of it was about doing jobs and errands for cops/FIB, which I seriously did not like - I don't care how nice and refreshing you thought it was, I just did not like spending a lot of time doing stuff for them. It's just not the kind of plot I expected or desired in a GTA game. That part of the game made me feel like I was playing Splinter Cell, which was not a good thing, I can assure you. I very much preferred a story where I was dealing with criminal organizations for most part. For a short while, that cop/FIB stuff would have been fine, just not for half of the bloody game.

Yeah you are right getting so much money straight away is not a good thing, we need that drive to move forward in the game I agree. But Rockstar just structured the whole theme around heists in the wrong way. We got the majority of our money right at the end of the game, which was pants in my view. I was hoping to have a good bit of money to buy assets and do the missions for them in the middle of the story to vary things up a bit. I had wait all the way until the end for that. The reality was that most businesses could only be bought after the last heist, once you could finally afford it. That was very restricting, it affected my enjoyment, I must say.

 

And probably because 3 out of 6 heists were for the cops and FIB, I really did not feel the game was about money and pursuit of the almighty dollar. Truthfully, I just did not get that feeling from the theme. Yeah sure, I made money, but i just did not feel I was in this big drive to gain riches.

 

And for the record I don't hate GTA V, it's a great game, just not as great as I thought it would be. I just felt let down by it. If you wanna call it hate, then that is on you.

GTAV blows away GTAIV and the previous ones. Sure it could have more "activities," sure it could DEFINITELY have more interiors (even though it has a lot of underground stuff and quite a few interiors as it is), but there are a few things that GTA is loved for that this one does the best:

 

-Atmospherics. Just an amazing world to look at, listen to, and move around in.

 

-CARS. Yes, the game is mostly about cars, and this one has so many, they're so good... I was skeptical of the driving at first as well, but it has won me over. The amount of precision control is phenomenal, especially compared to GTAIV.

 

-Vehicles in general. We finally have a real tank, a ton of planes, the fighter jet is better than ever, missiles on the jet and buzzard lock on to targets, I mean that alone is something the game has sorely needed.

 

-The cops. Finally we can hide from police instead of just having to race far enough away from them. They are vastly improved and for once they are an interesting challenge.

 

-Acreage. So much space to move around in, a legitimate landscape with true variety, roads you can actually race down for a LONG while without having to turn around or make a sudden 90 degree turn like in GTAIV. Lots of exploration.

 

Personally, I think V is everything it was made out to be. My only real disappointment is that the main missions were a little easy, but that had more to do with the new checkpoints than anything else.

Of course there is more crime apart from gangs, but if R* wasn't going to focus Franklin on being a gangbanger for a big part in the story, then the trailer shouldn't have touched the gang theme at all.

I have previously tried explaining the same thing several times to both niko bellic half brother and woggleman,but they just never seem to listen or get the message.

 

Good luck with that

 

''Never get the message", who are you, da messiah? No one will listen (or take you serious) if you keep crying." Blah this blah that swearing at that swearing at this, oh guys listen to me or i will start swearing". Why are you even in the gta v section? To get your message across so you can lead them to the promised gangta paradise?

 

Back in the day with gta sa... stop living in the past. Oh and don't you dare when GTA VI releases that you are going to brag about how GTA V is better and etc. Oh, but actually i hope that GTA 2 will get released with the huge sticker: "GTA VI" just to make the some people rage even more.

Like I said, there were other ways to multiply your dough like the stock market system. What makes that any different than SA's casinos? Sure the casinos were pretty to look at, and the games were fun, but the fundamental principle is still the same - increase your money.

 

Edit: *Oh f*ck...'Redx165' is in the house...everybody brace yourselves

 

I was so excited about the stocks and shares coming into GTA V. But let's be honest mate, that stock market system was pretty weak.

 

I did not even know what the f**k I was doing half the time. One thing is for sure, I barely made any money off of it. There was no proper introduction to it, it felt so detached from the game, and Rockstar should have made it a bit more clearer in some form. I just gave up on it in the end. It just felt incomplete, don't know why.

 

I honestly felt there is NO reason to use it besides for the Lester's missions. To me its a very poor way of making a decent amount of money. That's also the only reason to make a good amount of money.
