DISCO-INFERNO-70 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I love this game, but there are several things that are a complete waste. One of those things is the OCEAN space. For all the hype, it simply isn't interesting at all. Nobody really ventures out there, because there really isn't enough to do out there. They SHOULD have placed a cruise ship and a couple of oil platforms to give people a REASON to explore. I really wanted the ocean to be more interesting, but it just ISN'T.

CarlitoDorito Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) It's better on current gen, the extra animals and stuff, a lot more fish. The ocean has always been uninteresting in GTA. They could make it more interesting though, more secrets, maybe an underwater station you can explore, aircraft carrier. Maybe give you a harpoon gun so you can do some whaling, the Japanese would love that Edited February 4, 2015 by CarlitoDorito PlasmaFLOW, SAURUS23, GroundZero and 9 others 12 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/765487-ocean-is-a-waste/#findComment-1066922177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDeSanta Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If there`s one thing that has been done great in this game, that`s certainly Ocean. Saying that ocean is a waste doesn`t make any sense. Firstly you could say exactly the same for every ocean in every GTA so far but no, some people seem to have problem with V`s ocean only. And secondly, it serves a purpouse- the map boundaries so it has to be there. Besides, sea wildlife, detailed sea floor, jetskis, submarines, scuba diving and the seaplane are the reasons for which you can explore V`s ocean. Not to mention how incredibly realistic the ocean in V looks, the foam and water splashing from the waves is unbelievable. I haven`t seen such beautifull ocean in any other game. Now tell me how is V`s ocean any more waste than any other GTA`s ocean? These kind of complaints are simply not legit, it`s pure bitching.

American Viking Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The ocean is not a waste of space, but it's not immediately interesting either. As MrDeSanta stated, the ocean does indeed serve the important role of keeping the open world believable while simultaneously serving as our limitation. I just wish there was more to do and discover underwater...but sadly most of it's just rocks and a few ships here and there. Hell, they even closed up our backdoor into the research facility that we infiltrated in "Monkey Business" so there's no need to take to the water for that. So no, it's not a waste, just generic. The biggest waste of space in the entire game is Mt. Chilliad. It serves zero purpose other than taking up map space. ten-a-penny and MrDeSanta 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/765487-ocean-is-a-waste/#findComment-1066922482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DISCO-INFERNO-70 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 All I'm saying is that there SHOULD be more to do out there. I can acknowledge that there are some cool things IN the ocean, but I haven't seen many lobbies where ANYONE ventures out into it. Seriously, the low number of people who actually explore it speaks for itself.

The biggest waste of space in the entire game is Mt. Chilliad. It serves zero purpose other than taking up map space. Who knows how many stuff it is underwater that we don`t know about. I would be happy to explore it more if the submersible (and Kraken sub, the`re almost he same) wouldn`t handle like a crap. It`s slow and clunky handling prevents me from exploring the ocean further even tho i`d like to. I thought Kraken sub will be better at handling and faster, turned out it`s the same crap as the regular submersible. Well i wouldn`t say Mt. Chilliad but the rest of the mountains for sure. Those are certainly a waste of space. Those mountains take away half of map. Mt Chilliad and maybe Mt. Gordo would be enough, instead we have full of mountains. There`s no need for Mt Josiah and San Chianski mountain range, it`s a total waste of space. 2 mountains too many and too big Alamo Sea, these could be considered as real waste of space. Cut the size of Alamo sea on half, take 2 mountains away, increase the size of Senora desert and take away too many roads that cut the countryside (which absolutelly kills the sense of isolation and makes the map feel smaller) and we`ve got the perfect map.

Not Lance Vance Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I'll wait for GTA VI... It'll be more useful for drug smuggling back and fourth from Vice City and Rockstar's "take" on a few Bahama islands. (Some of the closet Bahama islands are located about 60 miles from Miami) but obviously Rockstar would make them closer in the game if we go back to Vice. I'm kidding... Nobody has a clue where the next GTA will take place. Just taking a wild guess here.

Cutter De Blanc Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Every time I want to explore the ocean it ends up being nightfall and I can see exactly dick down there. I like piloting the Kraken, but in the back of my mind I can't escape how pointless it feels. Honestly just a harpoon gun could make the ocean alot more satisfying to explore. If I got bored tooling around I could stop and kill some whales or something...SOMETHING. There's nothing to do down there.

That's what's so disappointing, they should've made better use of such an incredibly detailed environment or at least make it easier to explore. Where's the option to use the scuba gear & flippers whenever we enter the water. A handheld diver propulsion vehicle for extra speed wouldn't go amiss. Imagine swimming alongside a pod of dolphins at the same speed or out running a shark.

polaris23 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I beg to differ. I personally think it's very interesting to explore. Even though we've seen the entirety of the ocean through certain modding programs, some things might not have loaded yet, similar to GTA's "cell loading" but it only loads when you get close. I don't think Rockstar would make it so easy to find something just by looking at it through a program. Also; it makes a great hiding spot if you have a bounty, and the Kraken submarine. But that's unrelated to why I think it should stay in the game. It's very creepy at certain depths, especially at night, but in a cool-creepy-yet scary way. Just go underwater at night with the submarine light turned off and you get a whole new experience. It's actually really awe-inspiring. We also still don't know exactly what's inside the Lost hatch, or the crashed UFO. Another thing you have to keep in mind is that Rockstar could add something to the ocean without our knowledge. Look what they did with the mineshaft; we had no idea it would be opened on NG. Absolutely. I agree with everything you said, and I appreciate your optimism. Too many negative bashers on here and jokesters.

NoRegrets99 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 tbh there is an ocean because its an island, what game looks realistic if you just die when u go on the last patch of grass or you hit an invisible wall. If there wasn't an ocean, how would u make barriers to the end of the world and you would then have to remove the pier and the beach and editing the airport aswell!

MrDeSanta Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 They should really give us some harpoon to defend ourselves from the sharks. Sometimes i`m really afraid to explore underwater due to those sharks. And even Trevor`s special ability doesn`t seem to work with sharks. But i love the ocean in V and the idea of preventing the player of tresspasing the map boundaries is great. The game`s shutting down your aircraft/boat engines and spawn deadly sharks is better than invisible wall (VC, VCS) or travelling into the unlimited ocean (SA). The only problem i have is that you can`t know exactly where the boundaries are unless you reach them Then you loose your plane and get killed by sharks. It should be some sort of visible line on your HUD. And the fact that scuba gear is only available out of submersible and sonar collection docks dinghy is a bit frustrating. As for submersible, i really hate it, it handles like a piece of crap, it`s slow and unresponsible. Kraken sub has the same handling. How angry i was when i spent 4 hours photographing those animals to get Kraken sub only to realize it handles the same way like classic sub does. But if i look at the oecan in V generally, i just love it. It`s gorgeous. Sure it seems kinda boring to explore it but it`s still far better than any other GTA ocean so far.
