thoughts on the new mental stat.....

[blk95ta]

With the next update, R* is bringing out a player mental stat which will presumably show whether a player is an aggressive PvP player or a passive player. While i would hope this would make those people who love to PvP want to go after like minded players, i have a bad feeling the exact opposite will occur. I see that stat as a "hey that guy isn't going to put up a fight if i go kill him so i'm just gonna go for the easy kill instead of going after someone who actually wants to fight me."

 

What do you guys think?

It's going to probably be extremely inaccurate.

[Misanthrope Z]

just like how the game FOR SOME REASON can't detect that a tank blew up a personal vehicle when it fires at it, i'm sure the game won't be able to accurately judge a sh*tload of players

 

the only thing they could explicitly go by is K/D and that's a horribly sh*tty way to do it, the game can't actually tell if your kills are out of self defense, or you just being an asswipe.

 

sure, they may throw your favorite radio station in there...miles driven, etc, but what can that say about someone in actuality?

It'll let me get my psychologist freak on...

[Killzone3265]

everyones gonna be rated a psycho from either greifing or defending themselves from it

I'm probably going to be labeled a pussy...since I limit my kills to DM's.

[Vehicles]

Mine is probably going to turn from "Friendly" into "Griefer" within an hour because everybody think they can kill me since i'm "Friendly",so it's going to be inaccurate.

Would be hilarious if they judge you based on how many times you call for a tank from pegasus.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Remember how the game called you a "cheater", "total liar" & "bitch-made" in their III era criminal ranking?

 

I'd love to see what they could come up with this time.

[CrysisAverted]

I will find out a lot about myself, and if It just so happens I have a drug problem I will go to rehab on the basis that a character in a game recommended it.

[AlienTwo]

I wonder if it will take into account whether or not you kill tons of NPCs, or only other players...

[Jolly Swagman]

From the stories told on these forums I expect everyone who visits here to be labeled as "hero" or "best player of GTA online in history (who is also rich and only dates super models in real life)".

I love the rude words from III.

 

People who called Tank so many times will be entitled Small Balls.

[Soran Is On]

I would sh*t myself if rockstar was troll enough to

a. Read these forums

B. Label twankers as scuba daves

[homeskillet]

Most people will either attack or run away from the nearest white dot regardless of level or stats.

[ninjaontour]

GTA mental state LOL.

 

Easy kill targeting system... thanks Rockstar.

[grand theft spaghetti]

i wonder what it would say if you just killed the guys with their dicks out.

"Meat beater"?

[Fail_At_GTA]

It will probably be something stupid like 10 kills makes you a complete psychopath. It will be a useless stat.

[mochakaboom]

It'd be cool if it was something we don't have to press a few buttons to see if they are passive or not.

 

Like it should be instant. The more aggressive a player is, the brighter his character is and he glows in the dark. Which makes him a big target and to avoid.

[Jolly Swagman]

Does anyone remember the titles you would unlock playing red dead redemption who doing certain things? It would be great if the mental state worked in similar way and you could select what you mental state is from the various states you have unlocked. Examples:-

- 100 unarmed kills: Rocky Balboa

- 500 tank kills: Scuba Dave (from Soran 420's post above)

- join the IGN crew: Moron

- Reported for racial abuse over the microphone: Tony Abbott

- Achieve level 999: sh*t bucket

- Destroy a tank using using your fists: Chuck Norris

- lose 10 death matches consecutively: Jolly Swagman

If this new thing works I will be pissed. I like the act friendly/shoot em in the back and blow up PV style to gaming.

[Vehicles]

Maybe if they make it more interesting like "grinder" for playing more than 6 RR in an hour or "pervert" for jerking off in range of a female char.Make it unchangeable until they done something worse.

[ghostrider135]

I'm not sure how I feel about this, I generally mind my own business but I have a short fuse, I'm quite happy to leave other players well alone unless provoked but provocation could certainly affect your mental state stat making it mostly useless.

Tony Abbot I lol'd

 

-Kick your crew leader from the crew: Julia Gillard

 

OT: I wonder how the game will work this out, though, and how it will be implemented. (down on the D-pad, Blip system, etc...)

Haha, pretty much:

 

"Bill Gates" - has a bazillion-gajillion dollars. How? Who's to say.

"Pinnochio" - has killed 1000 crew members because they are the personification of a douchebaginess.

"Hugh Hefner" - shops a lot; gets all the women, (apparently), and has a 5% discount on all jackets at Posonby's locations because they have impeccable style.

"Robert f*©king Baratheon" - smashes b¡tches on the Trident...I mean freeroam deathmatches.

[ghostrider135]

Kill a player with a bullet to the balls - The nutcracker

Score a hole in 1 at golf - Tiger

Blow up High Priority Vehicle - Selfish Bastard

 

Just a few ideas I'd like to see.

not even the favourite radiostation is accurate!

[Carlover325]

It should show me as pretty passive. I am in passive mode probably 80% of the time in free mode. I get my kills mainly in death matches. I usually just mess around with friends by doing races, death matches, and missions.

This sounds more like a job for Dr. Friedlander with mandatory therapy sessions.
