The Peds Are Boring

[jp9865]

Like talking to a brick wall, also: stop PMing me you creep.

Same thoughts exactly pal.

Look at you trying to make yourself look good in public. I haven't PMed you since yesterday and yours were just as abusive as mine.

Like i said in PM. pot, kettle etc.

 

As many people have stated the peds are an improvement on previous games.

It's surprising how many phone calls peds have, there's loads of em. That's an improvement surely? Compared to the same one liner over and over?

 

The 3 protags have many different lines of dialogue when talking to peds. I think someone may need to make a tutorial "how to stand next to peds without having the police called"

"Many different lines"

 

You mean "Wow, that's real madness right there" and the classic "Jesus, f*cking christ"?

 

Franklin and Michael's lines rarely seem to link to the actual conversations themselves besides their greeting ones. Trevor doesn't even let you be polite (he should at least be able to in a sarcastic manner), instead he just insults them, don't act like this is an improvement when its just the same 4 lines per protag being repeated over and over...

They do say many different lines and it depends on which NPC you're talking to, Trevor when talking to the police says for example "Let's be clear, only an idiot joins the cops." He tells fat guys to "...give up the comfort eating." And there's much more. So much for they just repeat the same 4 lines...

Its an improvement on nothing at all. The protags say a lot more than 4 lines over and over, not just the ones you mentioned, try it Peds say more than in any GTA, not one line each, not the same one liners over and over. So it is improved.

 

Not that it matters at all, the whole talking to peds thing is a tiny little extra which isn't even needed, IV did fine without it and V would too. I'm pretty sure a typical GTA player doesn't buy GTA to walk around talking to pedestrians.

[Vertighost]

Agreed, some people just haven't explored this aspect of the game...

 

Trevor speaks differently to Homeless people, fat people, normal people, females, males and Police. Frank Ask's Gangsters where they are from, Michael recognizes a "She Hipster"...and has anyone mentioned the rare long responses where the NPC will even follow you if you walk away while they are talking. Also I mentioned one NPC who responds to talk back radio on the rooftop.

 

That said I am surprised there isn't a "f*ck me in the Ass" meme fro GTA V yet, for some reason that is the most memorable NPC character also with the Line "We're Going to hell", I'm sure the voice actor loves it when he tells people he's that guy.

It's hilarious to read the posts of some V fanboys defending the game.

 

CarlitoDorito, you take the cake here. Your V defence is funny and pitiable at the same time.

 

In the antagonist thread, you said Devin and Co. were not meant to be antagonists in the first place. Really? Ridiculous.

 

Here, you say that ped improvement is a little extra that isn't needed. 'IV didn't have very interactive peds, so V doesn't need it either'.

 

Maybe you forgot V came out 5 years after IV.

 

I request you to tone down the fanboyism. f*cking pathetic.

You started spamming me with PMs calling me stupid because my opinion differed from yours, I retaliate by calling you a creep who should seek therapy and now you say i'm just as bad as you?

 

Have some self awareness, you blabbering fool.

 

You have lost this argument, there are more people here who agree with me over you regarding the pedestrians. Accept it and move on.

Stop derailing the thread. If you've got a problem then PM me but as it is you're just posting nonsense trying to make yourself look good.

 

You haven't actually proven anything to back up your claims. You posted 2 videos as "proof" but what did that prove exactly? How does any of them show that the peds are boring. It's almost as if you forgot what point you were trying to make when you posted those videos.

 

and you obviously haven't read anything on here as there are more people who agree with me. Not that the number of people in agreement is relevant anyway.

I said, they don't seem like antagonists, they're so none threatening and none bad guy like that they didn't seem like one. That's what I meant anyway. Liking the game isn't fanboyism, acting like it's perfect, which it really isn't, is. Although yeah fanboyism is pathetic, much like getting bitchy (like a child) over comments on the Internet.

 

And no, not ped improvement, peds are improved, the things they say anyway, just what they say, they're still boring. Like peds in every GTA, that's a fact. Talking to them, isn't needed really. What does it do? in V it's not going to be that good, as we can see already, so getting rid of it wouldn't hurt the game.

You can still have covos with some peds on the street. They will tell you how their day has been and you can reply diffrently. Also once you have used the same "lady of the night" twice you will be able to talk to her in threed diffrent ways. It will pretty much bring up a dialoge tree like in an mmo and you have the option to respond "sarcastically", "scumbag response" and " good guy response". Overall the NPC's are pretty bland though. They are like robots in V.

You should work for Fox News, you're an expert at twisting things.

 

Nobody's claiming the peds are not generally the best in the series across the board, you absolute moron. Stop claiming that that's our argument when it isn't. But IT IS A FACT that we can INTERACT with pedestrians in a more immersive way in San Andreas (a game which is now over 10 years old) by choosing whether we are complimenting or insulting them. I have to keep repeating myself because that aspect of this just won't penetrate your fanboyism. They had 5 years to make this game, of course it's going to be SLIGHTLY better. But NOWHERE NEAR as good as the trailer communicated to us, TWO YEARS before the game released.

 

5 years just for a few minor improvements on GTA IV's pedestrians? You're perfectly happy with that? The jump in quality between GTA 3 and San Andreas puts GTA V to a shame. They had three years that time and improved on every aspect.. Whereas they had five years between the last two games and all they could muster is adding some content which was previously in San Andreas, and doing the bare minimum they had to keep fans happy. Pathetic. They could have pushed so much further with this game and as i've also mentioned before.. You'll realise that when the PC modding community turns this into the game it should have been.

Man, you're really being immature here. Obviously noons buys GTA just to talk to peds.

The thing is that peds make the game world feel ALIVE.

More interactive peds= better immersion.

 

V was EXPECTED to have better, more interactive peds than past GTAs, cause it had the backing of new tech.

 

 

So by your analogy, it doesn't matter if the peds are like in GTA SA, which came out 10 years ago. That's pathetic.

 

This game was in development for 5 f*cking years and majority of fans were expecting vast advancements in areas like ped interaction, police AI, melee fighting etc.

 

And these expectations were justified. They weren't anything over the top.

 

Did the game live up to the expectations?

NOPE.

 

 

You may go on defending the game, but the fact that its severely flawed won't change.

I request you tone down the complaining. Not happy with the game? And yet still complaining and playing after 18 months? Sounds like a sickness to me.

 

What's wrong with defending a game you personally enjoy? If you don't see the things that people criticise as problems, they're not a problem for you - so, what's the problem with defending things that you personally like?

 

Just because you think something is bad, doesn't make it so. Unless you were educated in the same place as OG and Osho.

 

 

For me, the peds are very good - better than most previous games, though I do agree they could be more tolerant of people standing near them. But if you take the time to talk to peds repeatedly, you'll see you can have multi-part conversations with them - vague, but more than just one line.

 

You can see the post where I neatly laid out this system several years before it happened in here:

The majority, simply don't care. The police are sh*t, the melee fighting is sh*t, although this about peds. There's a bitch and moan thread for the other stuff. The dialogue and variety is improved, that's all I was saying, not that they're super A.I. Anyone saying anything is improved in V is fanboyism and defending isn't it. Because the game is so bad right, worst game ever.

 

What did you expect though? Expectations don't help anyone with games. A lot expected IV to be like S.A, others expected V to be like IV. You'll be let down no matter what it does. In danger of going very off topic btw

And this turned into another thread with people stating their opinion as facts and calling other people fanboys because of not sharing the same opinion as them. Intolerance at it's finest, you can't really discuss anything here without turning a thread into a bitch fest.

 

Anyway, apart from NPCs being sometimes over sensitive, all the different dialogues, animations and reactions makes them the best in the GTA series IMO and I've given enough examples why I think so.

I've got a right to complain about the game if I shelled out $60 for it. The game didn't live upto MY expectations, so I complain. Sounds like a sickness? Wow, that's real mature.

 

Defending is alright as long as it's sensible. Saying things like "Ohh IV didn't have very interactive peds, so why should V have?" is pure fanboyism.

 

I'm alright with people defending their favourite games, I do that and so does everyone else. But as long as its sensible.

 

I'd been avoiding this thread, but Carlito's post pissed me off. His defence was total nonsense, that's all I can say.

^^ apologies for pissing you off, I wasn't aware anyone took anything I say seriously.

 

I meant for me, I don't care if we can talk to peds because to me they're filler, always have been. Talking to them for me, and just me, isn't an exciting thing. So for me, no, I don't need them. I play the game how did in in IV, if it was IV 2.0 I'd be fine with it. I'm 29 years old having to justify my opinion and arguing about a game. Marvelous.

[woggleman]

If some of you don't like the game fine but you don't have to get angry because others don't agree with you that V is garbage. How much hate do some of you have in your heart that some people simply liking V makes you guys angry?

[CarlitoDorito]

I listened to some of the peds phone calls and there's loads! one guy talking to Jimmy, asking for weed, I assume it's Michaels Jimmy but it could just be some guy named Jimmy. I heard at least 30, although there was a lot more I missed most of. Some are weirdly serious, others are silly. I like that about the peds, because it isn't the same one liner again and again.

 

Some will tell you about their lives if you talk to them, or give you a random story. One girl says "I'm ok, but I had to wait 2 hours for my hair treatment, what did they run out of bull cum?" Another woman, talking about how there should be a new draft because it stops wars. There's many of them, ranging between 10 and 60 seconds long, they differ depending on where you are. In Vinewood someone might say something about a movie they're writing or something, near Franklin's old house CGF members might tell you about some gang stuff. Although the responses aren't exactly perfect sometimes, and you can get the same story from 2 different peds. It's not horrible, it's not perfect.

[RichyBeats]

The people saying that the peds are fine are the players that rockstar caters to now, which is a real shame.

Personally the cops and paramedics ruin any of the immersion for me.

It's upsetting that the game has went for presentation over substance.

Yep, it's a significant improvement over past GTAs for me. Of course, conversations repeat after some time, SA had an even more limited amount of conversations, just like all other GTA's. But NPC's in V still have much more depth than any previous GTA.

 

Hell, I just found out that firefighters actually use extinguishers to blow out a fire and that NPC's sometimes get out of their car to check the damage you made on their car. They put up their top of their convertible cars when it starts raining. Also there's different buskers around LS playing guitar, great successors of the sax players in IV. It just gets more immersive the more I play it.

The pedestrians and AI isn't too bad in this game when you think about it. They do much more than in previous GTA games, but at times, that level of detail is gone. They end up doing the usual being on the phone and smoking, which annoys me.
