TheLunaticParade Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Scenario: You sign in to Social club and go look at Snapmatic, Then you see 8 or 9 Pics about a biker crew. Anyone else laugh at them? The typical "I killed you...wear a patch patch patch patch....you suck blah blah" To me it's hilarious how Rockstar hasn't just started removing those.

Ghost XB Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 IMO there are wayyyy wayyyy wayyyy too many biker crews. It seems like 1/3 of crews are biker crews now. Ik theres role play but if you really want to role play just join one of the 500,000 biker crews there already are, don't make a brand new one and feel bad that no one joined.

TheLunaticParade Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah, These crews take it kind of far. Insulting each other over social media sites. Threats etc. When the game first released the Biker crews were not bad they Did rides and meet ups. It was cool. I created one. (It only has My IRL friends, Psn friends. It's never been active ever. Heck i don't even use my crew emblem on anything.) But as it progressed they turned into Hate groups basically. Slandering/Threatening peeps. Groups are always fun at first till they change. There is role playing, then there's what we have currently. Granted I haven't ever ran into any of it but seeing it's depth is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadHaTT3R Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Personally, I think its kinda pathetic. This "role playing". For one, its a video game and what is the goal of the role? Ya gonna get 10 guys on bikes riding around LS, thuggin the AI or even real players? I recall a few months back I had a few of these players come at me. 1 Nade from my launcher killed 3 outta 4 and the 4th guy just ran away.....I mean I guess its cool, when its just some friends actin the fool, but when they start takin it serious, as if thuggin in a game is somehow cool, then they need to get a real life.

TheLunaticParade Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 @Nemecsis Think i'll pass on your offer. Did i say i had a problem with the ones who are role playing? No. Did i blatantly say I was against it? No. I did post a thread to see opinions. Personally. I have no problem with biker crews. (When they first started forming I had the notion to try and start up one and run it) But I see how they have progressed. Yes there are ones that are badass, They do rides, Rallies, They have Church, Patch in patch out ceremonies. By laws etc. The opinion i was putting off in the OP was how i thought that the Hate group ones were hilarious. The "Mc" crews that do nothing but talk trash and hunt other crews just to start sht. They have a sense of entertainment to them. How they Do all these pics on snapmatic etc. livejoker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misanthrope Z Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 MC crews and Military crews are beyond f*cking annoying MC crews are annoying because they seem to never shut the f*ck up about their "patches" and take the whole biker thing way too seriously- yet they get pissed off when someone shoots them off their Hexers and proceeds to blow them all up Military crews are annoying because they seem to want everyone to utilize a boring CoD-like playstyle. i'm not going to play peekaboo with pea-shooters and RPGs just to satisfy some nerdy ass roleplayers.

dewtech Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I actually admire people with the dedication to role play like that, it's not an easy thing to do, or find other people who are willing to play as tight. It's never appealed to me as I'm more a casual player. That said, when they force it down other people's throats it gets annoying.

BigStu4q Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was in an MC crew until recently. Had loads of fun with over the course of a year or so.

Anyone else laugh at them? The typical "I killed you...wear a patch patch patch patch....you suck blah blah" To me it's hilarious how Rockstar hasn't just started removing those. What does everyone think about the Biker "MC's" on GTA? I was a part of a MC for some time, also ran my own for a period. I initially joined (PS3 days)when I seen a cluster of blips/dots in very close vicinity of each other but nothing was coming up on the kill feed. I looked at who was in the lobby, and I seen a crapload of HAMC tags...that was something ive never seen before that day. I was losing interest in GTA around that time as well, so I looked for the highest ranked member in that session and asked how I could join. Before I knew it, I was in a "prospect" chapter earning my keep. It was totally new and fun to see many different players supporting their one crew with Rides in formation, taking over lobbies, meetings, etc. it was new to me, and the sheer number of players from a bunch of different "chapters" looking out for each other the instant they seen a HAMC tag by your name...no need to say nothing, you didn't have to know the guy. You both just knew you were on the same team and it was time to cause some havoc. It was fun, it was new and I liked killing...this brought it to overdrive. I had to learn how to kill as a team, work together. I was always a lonewolf prior to this, and the loner style didn't work as well when you had others by your side to help. Also, I never got the impression of role playing...the people I was around were highly competitive, taking it serious. The rides became more enjoyable because it was a time to relax, sitback and eat sh*t with your crew mates...not for role play. I didn't know any better at the time, I just thought this was how a real crew ran things, not that it was an MC thing. All good things must come to an end...I get bored after doing the samething over, so I'm back to my roots of being a lonewolf. But I may go back to my MC roots once the lonewolf thing gets boring or maybe try some other type of crew...mafia, gang, etc. Edited April 5, 2015 by Chamber53DV livejoker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livejoker Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) tl;dr - wtf you doing on a forum if you can't be bothered to read? Anyway: live and let live as said and roleplay, car meets, etc. The world is great. As said: roleplay. Roleplay seems dumb when you think about it - pretend to be a character while other people pretend they're also a character and you all pretend to do something in a fake world. Seems really dumb, I'll be honest, but roleplay adds so much to the game that non-roleplaying players won't understand. You know that scenario you did with your buddy on how you two dressed up as mercs and did missions? That can classified as roleplay. Do you have a tradition when joining a session such as getting snacks and looking at who to hunt? That can also be roleplay. Ah, but it gets touchy. It's roleplay if you got a little story in your mind. If you get snacks and look at the map to hunt only because it's GTA, it's not roleplay but if you look at the map as if you're some bounty hunter and you call your bounty hunting vehicle such as your Insurgent or even a non-suspicious vehicle, you're roleplaying. The fine line of what is roleplay and what isn't is purely based on what's going on in your head at the moment. But then that line can get clearer when you do more roleplay-ish things such as you said; join MC's, gangs, mafia families, etc. Some join for the stories, some for the thrills, some for the friends but they all join for the experience of it. That way they can look back and tell themselves or others, "I was in such-and-such and we did this-and-that". Think of it as a gamers résumé. You'll most likely be impressed or want to play with people who has more under their gamer belt. That's how ranks work - you need to prove yourself to the group but to do so you'll need to show initiative. Having prior experience helps tremendously. That's why the most experienced/knowledgeable is always the leader. If the leader is just some kid who just started watching Sons of Anarchy then you're in the wrong group. Well, depending if you're looking for a more serious group. Now you gotta understand that I'm not a roleplayer. I used to be one in GTA IV for a short while until the leader had a thing for acting out bus routes. I had to wait on a corner and be picked up. Then we'd chat as we picked up other passengers that were in our group. That's when I realized roleplaying has a fetish section and I didn't want any part of it. I've always had a thing for meeting people and still wanted some roleplay element. The answer was car meets which can be turned into any meet you want: trucks, boats, take a hike up Mount Chiliad on foot? Meets are roleplays but everyone is equal, only the host has a tad bit more privilege and say in things. Think of them as roleplay-light. The name itself "meet" is to meet others and have a good time. Both meets and roleplay sessions are quite similar except a hierarchy can be applied more strictly to roleplay sessions. Now I know you're curious and that's why you made this thread but was it necessary to shrug off someone's play style as stupid when you actually (I'm guessing) never took part in a roleplay session? I read that you wanted to start your own MC but got put off by how hardcore some MC's can get. Why do you judge how someone plays? Yes, I think roleplay is stupid but I ain't judging, to the contrary (yes, yes, you didn't mention roleplay as a whole but f*ck it I'll bring it in - too late to backspace). Roleplay players on here (some of my favorites include that guy who does heists, I'm sure he'll pop by here if he sees this thread is actually about roleplay) make this game so much more interesting. If it weren't for MC's and other roleplayers this game would be stale. It would be a constant deathmatch. You haven't properly experienced the world of GTA until you meet up with other players without killing one another just to boost your K/D (which no one cares about, at least those that understand that GTA isn't CoD). You'd be stupid to concentrate on kills on a game that has so much more to offer. But I do agree that hardcore MC's give those that just want to ride a bad image. I've never been a MC so I might be wrong but from what GTA IV's The Lost & Damned taught me is that pointless killing doesn't solve anything. You ride with your brothers because you live by that - you love it. So yeah, just like you I don't see the point in fighting for an invisible crown. A MC fights hard and claims top spot but any video game achievement will be forgotten if you turn your console off. You're still a guy playing a game. You've got experience and knowledge but it's, in my opinion, put to bad use by arming yourself up with other players and killing anyone who also calls themselves a MC. I'd actually be interested in joining a MC if it wasn't so strict. If they weren't out for blood. If they weren't like real life. Get some bikes, call up another MC, meet up and ride together. See what the other MC has such as their bikes and jackets. Then, go to the beach to cool down after some highway riding. That's how MC's should be. They should be about being friendly and welcoming not only to those wanting in but also to fellow MC's. Why do they need to get violent is beyond me. To post their "exploits" on snapmatic also baffles me. But addressing your line of "why don't R* remove those pictures" doesn't go against any policy. The pictures, I'm guessing, are dead players with a MC jacket on, right? How is that different from nude old cult men, topless women and actual modders? It's just a dead player. The best advice is to not pay attention to them. I made a thread long ago about mafias sending me messages about their score with another family. I got fed up, made a thread, and learned that you should never bitch on this forum. Yeah, people agreed but "live and let live" was told a few times (such as here!) Lesson learned and I now look at every type of player differently. It's like porn: there are some categories you skip as it's not for you but you all enjoy the same release. For some, it's a bit more weird to get. Roleplayers, no matter how casual or hardcore, do their thing usually in private lobbies. If they happen to be in your freeroam session they're free game to hate like anyone else. Now it would be great to get someone who's currently in a hardcore MC to drop by and discuss why they do what they do but I fear they've got a special mentality that makes them unable to see a "casual" point of view. They've got reasons to do what they do. Let them be, mate. Edited April 5, 2015 by livejoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLunaticParade Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 @ livejoker. I Read your post. When did I mention roleplay being "stupid" ? If you got that from the OP then....Um...yeah..... This is not a Bitch and moan thread. This is more of a satire wanted to read reactions opinions thread. Main point being "What everyone thought of the Hardcore MC's" (The MC's that actually Do meets/rides/events really are not mentioned in this thread.) Ones that were supposed to be were the Patch pic MC's. The MC's that just hunt patches for snapmatic. Now yes the actual picture itself isn't against policy. But some captions on the pic are. As for me not starting an MC due to the hardcore ones. Not really the reason. Didn't start one because didn't want to recruit or have to do all of the event set ups etc. Figured it wouldn't have went how I would have wanted to so I didn't bother with it. So down to this...This thread was not made to bitch about MC's. The MC's of GTA ARE a part of the game, Always will be. Made this post to see others experiences/opinions of the Rough-er MC's.

SpecterBadger Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 i personally hate crew roleplay, "oh now your in the mafia bla bla bla". i hate it, i love roleplay but i want a roleplay based on other things not strictly cops, mafia, or biker. its not the crews that i hate its has no conflict, (just want to point out that gta v does not have all of san andreas) Blain county and LS are flooded with bikers, mafia, and cop crews. and these crew would normally fight they all would most likely hate each other. it would be so much cooler, a vagos crew, a mafia crew, biker crew, a cop crew, a military, and government crew, all playing together hating each other, we don't need pedestrians in a rp we need a huge group up, bikers hate other bikers, mafia's hate other family's, cops work together, military is neutral, government hate any bad crews. Gangs hate other gangs. it wont be everyone fighting its roleplay there needs to be a reason to attack the other crews. i have no idea if it made sense its late at night, so my spelling probably sucks. but these are my thoughts on modern gta rp.
