npc's shouldn't drive!

[hugh750]

about 2 hours ago i logged in gtao and drove out in my bullet only to get creamed by a npc driver who was panicing and raced into my front end at over 100 mph, sent me spinning.

do you agree that npc's can be the worst drivers??

They got me wondering if Rockstar actually implemented lines of coding that directs them towards you when changing lanes or taking turns or something.

Definitely while you're playing RR

When you first go outside in a new session you often come across "sentinel guy", or should I say he often comes across you (if you know what I mean )

 

I tend to get a gun out immediately when I start a new session as it's become a habit of mine to kill him and sell his car, purely out of spite. He's the closest thing the the mechanic I've got, for spite kills.

Yes...they guess your driving line and will move in the way of where the game thinks that you're going to go. It'll always put a car in the lane you want to be in when rounding that blind curve.

You got to remember though, to them, YOU are driving completely f*cking batsh*t insane all the time...running stop lights, knocking light poles over, darting through oncoming traffic, etc.

I was also convinced that this is true, but I recently drove the same route while not on that mission and the NPC cars seemed equally terrible. There's a couple of points on that route where NPC's drive a little eratically. Now I'm not so sure they really did that on RR.

If they removed NPC drivers, the game would seem desolate.

[Euphorica]

The only thing I hate about it is that I can't pass the car in front of me without another car in the opposite lane appear at the exact same time forcing me to slow down, pass the car on the inside or drive between the two cars at high speed.

I wish they would change that or at least randomize it so it doesn't always happen.

in every game mode cars are programmed to hit you or get in your way and its annoying as f*ck. Ive never tried driving the same speed as npcs to see if they still do it or not but many many times have I had npcs cross the centerline to hit me and sometimes when the game is lagging you can see them hit hypersonic and even jump over 20 feet just to hit you. The pretty much always spawn right in front of you coming right at you when you go over in their lane to pass one thats in front of you. Im cool with this happening occasionally and randomly but its a bit annoying when its every f*cking time and they spawn so close if you are at full speed you dont have much reaction time. In lobbies with more people it happens less often cause the ps 3 doesnt have enough computing power to keep up but playing in a lobby with only a couple people you will notice there is much more npc traffic than in full lobbies. It would be boring as hell if there was no traffic and none of them f*cked with ya but balance is needed. I like lobbies around 6-10 or so, enough people to slow down the npcs rate of spawning but not too many to keep them from being there at all. Its super annoying in a full lobby with everyone shooting each other when there are ZERO npc cars anywhere and if by some miracle the ps3 finds enough power to spawn one it will disappear as soon as you touch the door handle. Or when the cops show up and get out and their car instantly disappears, lol!

It's annoying when you bring out a car and within seconds a NPC crashes into you. I know it's sounds pathetic but I always kill 'em.

Hate when they don't use turn signals and they change lanes directly in front of me.

[sultangris]

how about when you come out of your garage and theres always that npc right in front of you so you run them over? a little randomness would be so nice.

My favorite part is when the game takes complete control over an NPC's car and just drags it along the road to get in your way while the driver slams on the breaks.
