Can't have a decent cop chase

[joyrider00]

Before V was released I remember reading from different sources about how wanted system would he completely overhauled. Like cops would isolate homicide scenes, have K9 units etc. I dont know if spreading false information was intentional or just overly eager fanboy talk

Cops in the Grand Theft Auto franchise has always been badly improved. They are stupid, can't drive and easy to get lost and such.

 

In the 3D era it was more difficult because your car got stuck easier.

Alongside the vehicle storage system, the wanted system and the police A.I are certainly showing its age esp. how much games have progressed since the 3D days.

You would not be able to do this in V;

 

 

 

Yeah cops in GTA will never learn.

 

 

 

 

 

I found a similar video from IV;

Yup. I do know.

But no use for those higher ( and highest ) wanted stars I was referring to. IV lower wanted levels ( below three ) are easy to beat leaving not her ability not much of a use, at least, for me!

The thing that makes the "police bribes" really great is their easy to use and fits perfectly when in the mood for messing around on higher ( and highest ) wanted levels, while the ability to CONTROL the police rampages ( ignore bribes as long as you want ) EASILY. If the need arises, the bribes lower the heat instantly w/o the need to stop and make a call.

That's what I love about the way bribes work. I'd want something ( in fact bring back the police bribes; f*ck realism! hehe ) similar that would make the exciting frantic action much more fun than stop for calling or anything like that, because of which I didn't miss Lesters ability.

The bribes in SA ( and games before ) come in decent numbers and not too overpowering and placed in a way that encourages me to try out all the empty areas on the beautiful map. Rockstar should go back to the 3D route and fill the emptiness of the map with such similar useful items and tie them with such nastiness of power packed infinite action.

This is one of the reasons I consider SA the best GTA, despite having IV and TLAD as my favorites. It had quality, and quantity, and a whole lot of things that even V doesn't have.
