NPC Drivers More Aggressive?

[Ai®a©ob®a]

Has anybody else notice the NPC Drivers are A LOT more aggressive then they were before?

 

Before the would stop if you were standing in the middle of the road but now they'll just plow right though you.

 

I have been killed more times by NPC drivers than i have actual players in the last couple hours.

Exactly.

or just stand in front of a pedestrian, in SP they'll call the cops, in online they'll either run or beat the sh*t out of you.

It wouldn't be a surprise if they did worsen the drivers' aggressiveness, they've buffed the NPCs' accuracy in missions and made them more frustrating.

Actually I've noticed since the patch when you attack large groups of peds some peds will get pissed at each other and start fighting for some reason.

The grove street & hillbillies area has some of the most aggressive npc in game

Pissed off peds following me in cars seems to be new, or at least much more evident.

The worst I hate are those darned drivers who either say kiss my ass or point the middle finger at you

Definitely not from this patch, I've been having this happen for a long time. Blaine County it happens the most. In the city not so much.

 

OP:

 

This has also been happening since release. I remember noticing it on the first day I played online. On Single Player all cars would stop if you went in front of them but I noticed online the cars drove a lot faster on the freeways or highways, whichever they're called in the US and rarely stop.

Yeah, they're even more aggressive than they used to be. On one mission last night at least a half a dozen different cars deliberately crashed head on into us while we were fleeing with the objective during a mission. They were aggressive before but now they're either downright murderous, or maybe they all need new glasses.

I stood in the middle of the road using the jazz hands action and got hit by an SUV. Then the pedestrians started screaming and running away.

I got a star. WAT.

Da feds are racist, bro.

Seriously. NPC have more mass on their cars as well, so when they ram you, you'll totally bumped away, but not in vice-versa.

 

I once saw a parked player car get rammed by a panic NPC and it started to bounced away like balloon.

 

And I don't know why they have more tendency to stop you during a hostile chase in mission by blocking your way and your car totally can't push them away. Also they have the tendency of changing lanes, stopping, and make a U-turn in the same road when delivering vehicle to Simeon's garage. I really think Rockstar actually code this.

[AwesomeJokeGTA]

Everytime I take my Thrust out, a driver always turns at the right moment to f*ck me in the ass

[Gridl0k]

Most of the traffic actually follows the lanes, the lights and usual rules of the road - when not 'freaked out'. Anticipating their moves is just part of the game.

Female NPCs didn't use to retaliate, but the other night a friend has his stolen car stolen back from the female driver he pulled out of the car.

 

On top of that she put a bounty on his ass, just to add salt to the wound.
