Would you replace the ocean with a giant desert?

Well with the no ocean mod it kinda looks like one just bad draw distance lol , bike stunts , going down deep, and more i guess. Replaces the scenery which idc about

It's only bad draw distance as it's expecting to be matched with the timecyc, which underwater is purposely low to give that, ...underwater feeling. :p I'm sure with more tweaking they can be extended but even still, i don't think any of the underwater materials have LODS.

Hell if I could replace the whole ocean with a Gian desert then instead of that I would take my time to make another city.

Consoles wouldn't handle it. GTA games have always pushed the systems to their limits

Well ThattGuy, the thing is the ocean takes a lot of space, if I could swap the whole detail of the ocean with a big desert then instead of the desert I would atleast make another town nearby.

What kind of dessert? Pudding is too squishy and baked goods get stale too quickly.

I'd say replace it with Bacon... everything goes good with bacon.

No, the ocean is quite fun, I love boating as I do in real life. Giant desert is bland and boring.

The ocean makes the most sense... it is a barrier that can have detail yet beyond a certain distance has no exploration value and gets boring so you focus on the detailed and relevant areas of the game... a giant desert would not work as well... would you just die or scroll back if you went too far in one direction? Islands and barriers like mountains (in other games) keep the focus where it needs to be.

....there's already a desert. Why do we need it extended? I like jetskiing through piers and over waves, and fighting sharks and exploring underwater.

Do you have any knowledge of how computers work? Evidently not.

 

Consoles can handle a map that is a million times the size of GTAV's. The only boundaries when it comes to map size are development time, and disc space. Neither of which are related to the console/computer/whatever itself.

 

 

Make sure you know what you're talking about before spewing out your made-up "information", dude.

We already had enough desert area in V, it was pretty boring. I prefer having a ocean. The game would be boring if everything was land, I Iike diversity

I never really go in the ocean. I just don't find it fun or enjoyable. Sure, it looks nice, but I would rather have that development time spent on making maybe a new minigame, or having a couple more interiors, maybe even a few more missions or even car models. Those would be the things people enjoy the most. In all honesty, I only spent time in the ocean to get all the collectable things. There's just no reason to go underwater besides the collectables, missions, or if you want to max out your lung capacity for whatever reason.

Nah. I'd have kept the ocean and just added two more major cities, added more smaller towns, toned down on the mountains, and put a bit more open desert/scrub.

Is it not a bit rich that you accuse me of being a nerd, but then you're the one trying to be a "nerd" by pretending to know what you're talking about, e.g. "consoles can't handle it".

 

Please.

I didn't like the amount of mountains they had in V. Instead I wish they had large forest areas you could get lost in like in SA.

 

Mt. Chilliad and another small mountain was enough. There was too much desert area and mountains outside of LS

I made one little comment and you started raging with multiple paragraphs

nah, I'd keep everything the same but I'd make Paleto stretch into the ocean a bit and maybe make it into a medium city based on Santa Barbara.

What if you made the water sink, revealing the ocean bottom? It would be cool if you could explore the bottom with a car or so.

 

Of course the ocean belongs, but it's a thought I have. Imagine roaming around on the detailed sea bottom in a Bifta or a Sanchez. :inlove:

I would have replaced the eastern/south-eastern side of the map with some desertic landscape where you could actually feel isolated, since the default one was too small. Something like RDR map. Maybe even add a small territory representing Mexico near the US border too.

Dude, don't even sweat that guy. Anyone who disagrees with him, no matter how competent and level-headed their argument, he just says they're "raging". It's the last refuge of a fool with nothing legitimate left to say.

I would have just added a few more missions. How about some bodies on the ocean floor with cement tied to their feet or some gold stashes?

This^^ 100% ^^

 

I would like to see more desert but would like it to be proportionate also.

 

By this I mean still have loads of water and loads of desert so you always have options.

 

Sometimes I wanna burn through the desert like a ghost rider...

 

Sometimes I just wanna go out to sea when it is rainig and thundering...

 

Other times...well...we wont go there :lol:

Wogglemen, if you follow all of the infinity killer's notes you can find a lot of bodies under the sea.

Why are you talking and thinking you know it all either? Look at your signature it says "swag" like a show off. If you had swag you wouldn't open your mouth and be a hypocrite thinking you know it all either.

Just to say, consoles could handle a bigger map, it's streaming, so the restriction is design time and disc space.

 

I mean in theory, removing the water does pretty much make it a huge map slab, the videos of people riding around look good, some amazing stuff hidden there that we don't get to see when slowly moving around the dark waters.
