Midnght Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 So the update is bringing this lovely new feature. Seems to be a bit overlooked. "And the new Mental State player stat shows you just how passive or psychotically unhinged fellow players in your session really are – so you'll know if you need to have it at the ready when they approach." But it got me thinking. Is this going to increase random acts of violence for those who want to be classified psychotic? I would like to think that if you were totally out there it'd make your character twitch or something that might screw up your game play. But I doubt that's going to be there. Still would be fun. Anyway thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbashbluesfan Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I have no doubt what I'll be classified as However I don't think it'll make a difference to be honest. Coreyandy5 and theGTAking101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayday2127 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 ideas kinda lame imho, i like using the art of suprise and all the players will now know im a crazy murdering rapist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rob Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I don't think it will be a useful tool at all. How do you determine if someone is "unhinged?" They kill a lot of players? Maybe most of those kills were in self-defense. Likewise, someone who is classified as "stable" might just be someone who hides in their apartment 24/7 and has never gone toe-to-toe with anyone.

Midnght Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 LOL nice answers. Yeah it's definitely and interesting addition. One that seems overlooked. Going to be interesting for sure. I am of the opinion there will be more random acts of violence though for people wanting to be psychotic. }:>) And just as a bitch. The bullpup for a new weapon really?? That's a collectors edition weapon and frankly compared to the other shotguns it's not worth it. Lame add if you ask me. They should have given away the hammer instead.

Yeah your right it says rifle. Well cool. Hope it's worth it. "the powerful Bullpup Rifle." Thanks for the correction. Anyway back on topic.

ZakeBudek Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 We need more details, how it's calculated and what the ranks are. Maybe it's just a bar, but what's the low and high, etc. I think the people who "want" to be labeled as psychotic most probably already will be.

DeMeNs Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This mental state sounds interesting. But if is just a players killed based scale it would be a crap. At the end we will be all psyco. Including defensive players. And if it reset after each session, you don't know if the players is really a psyco that just joined session or not... Time to speculate. We will see. I'm interested but my guess is this will be far more simpliistic than I expected.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lynx 23 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm hoping it's your overall behavior, even to NPC's. It'd be a nice bonus to be recognised for store robberies & shooting the clerk, pedestrian bowling with a personal vehicle, and parking an LSPD squad car right in front of the Vanilla Unicorn's only entrance and exit to keep the LSPD out, and the patrons and staff in...then kill them with tear gas.

I'm often jumping out of car or helicopter along the way to catch a few pedestrians when i get to run in those missions. I'm sure the drivers are like WTF???

Grumpy-Goat- Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 As a "tool" I think it's pointless. I shoot first 95% of the time anyway. As a method to make people alter their play style to be a little more interesting... perhaps that is where it will shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMeNs Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Stats in free roam should be diferent in a player who avoids contact (but shoot first before be killed) from a player who always go for shoot them all... or from an always pussyve mode player. R* Inteligence Division has been studing our stats all this time so...(let's imagine) Maybe it reflects nice your in game personality... AND having a second character now has some sense.

H8GodMode Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) this stat is probably going to be worthless... or its going to be an extra step for typical "only attack the weak because I'm afraid to die/sissy" gamer to pick out his victim... i personally don't enjoy free roam anymore because of that. what fun is it killing some 10 year old kid over and over again? i prefer a challenge against like minded players... we shall find out Edited May 9, 2014 by H8GodMode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too old to be spanking someone else's kid who shouldn't even be playing the game, but i will say i was quite amused listening to 2 really young squeekers the other day... they were already crying, so i threw bounties and mercs on them. laughed my ass off Edited May 9, 2014 by H8GodMode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lynx 23 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I liked the trend of new players going after anyone and everyone because they were just handed Special Carbines and Heavy Pistols. They'd still come up short against anyone who was level 120+ and has every weapon available to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLad94 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Screw the mental state. I find the element of surprise more fun. I enjoy driving random folks up chiliad then poppin a cap between their eyes and leaving them stranded. Fingers crossed i wont be labeled unhinged. How could we decrease our crazyness anyhow? Cruising with players maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcticvisions Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I think it could be useful in missions. Be able to tell who's gonna destroy the document or purposely run over teammates, etc. But that depends on how it's determined, which nobody knows Edit: As for freemode, we'll just have to wait and see what players do with it Edited May 10, 2014 by arcticvisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Online Gamer Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 People are already preparing... LS is on lockdown.
