This map would have been cool

I like the map because this one actually features a real border(albeit being in the wrong place).

Also LS here looks more spread out like LA is, but I think there are to many roads cutting through the middle of the state, and I like the bigg tunnels going through chilliad, I love tunnels and I really miss the Porter road tunnels of III's LC

The real point is, though, what's the use in complaining about a map we already have?

You don`t see the big picture, the reason to complain is to avert another similarly designed map being served to us in the future. I`m not complaining to get them to change the current map, that ship has sailed and I don`t see myself replaying V again anytime soon (while at the same time I`m replaying all the 3D games.)

This map has even more mountains than the real one.

But they're BETTER mountains, for some reason, I don't know. I have no idea what's going on around here anymore.

 

People just hate V and will find any reason to express that hate. If they had endless desert and forest people would complain about that.

That's your opinion .................and i think the map served people well....i mean pc gamers look very pleased...........and people bought the game again on the pc .....and with big map and great graphics the game can run on intel hd imagine that.... rockstar sure made one hell of a optimization for V ( i think this a proof that rockstar doesn't care about it's customers) ......... and the people on the racing community never complained about how roads goes or how the map looks .............and are you trying to say you have more fun playing the 3d games over V i'm sorry but you are fooling yourself it's the truth here........allow me to tell you why.......if i offered you to play Gta 3 or max payne 3 you will definately choose MP3............ and if i offered you to play gta vc or spec ops the line or even rdr you will definately choose the other two games...........but if i offered you Gta v or any other 3d game you will choose the 3d game.......this doesn't make any sense to me pal.........i mean gta 3 isn't that revolutionary it was body harvest that invented the sandbox style it's true mate.........even the best game of all time (ocarina of time) doesn't have a chance to the games that released even in 2008 or even 2002.............you will only play it just to give some nostalgia not fun.

Guy i will say this again isn't the map based on true places??????

So?

In those true places people experience a lot of different interactions, choices and activities or don't?

Do the people in real life waste their time only on living with the *imagination* in South Cali. or are actually more active than just free roaming, but enjoy the life more with something interesting?

Yes, they do. But V doesn't allow once you're done with everything the game has to offer in the single player portion of the game.

I don't care about whether its true to real life Southern California or not, but more importantly, how much the map allows players, in regards to the gameplay - freedom of choice and the ways to interact with the environment than just being decorative pieces for taking snapmatic shots.

There should be a good amount of things, in activities and content, and enough freedom and action to really have fun playing.

Similar to the amazing GTA SA, and even VC or III ( Heck even GTA 2 ), as the GTA sandbox game, that will stay with you forever, and perhaps the greatest replayablity to keep returning for some more GTA SP goodness.

 

 

It's clear you haven't even tried to enjoy the freedom in GTA V, if were talking about the off mission freedom of interaction aspect, how exactly is SA better if not just different.

Can you stand on rooftops and yell down at people in the street? Can you scoop up cops in a bulldozer and drop them off a bridge? Can you face-dive into trash cans and fences? Can you give the finger to a redneck and watch him try to chase you on foot? Can you throw a ball across a highway to see if your dog can make it across without getting run over? Can go out and hunt birds or street cats? Can you see more than 50 feet in front of you?

 

SA has things like the home invasions and lowrider competitions, but they're still a traditional mission structure as apposed to the more spontaneous freedoms in V. It just means you need to think more about what you can have fun with in V, rather than just do has the side activity tells you.

It seems people hate v before it was released.............a guy just said the map was leaked and he was disappointing as hell before the release of the game imagine that......that proof people put so high expectations for V they are all end up disappointing what a surprise Huh?..........I mean we saw people criticized the story and the missions and the fps and the map and even the gameplay i swear to you man i saw people do that .......what else left behind to criticized the graphics?...........Despite i like the story of V but it seems that a great story can make everyone eventually by magic forget how the game was heavily flawed even for it's time....you know what game i'm talking about.

You are right i didn't get how gta 5 has no freedom it's the most fun open world exprience and sa too for it's time of course.............i completely agree.

I do see the bigger picture.

 

The title and premise of this thread suggests that the map in the original post would have been better than the one we had in V.

 

Plucking a fan-made map, which is a bit of a mess and features more of the stuff people said they don't like about the current map, then saying it would have been better is not the same as plucking a fan-made map and saying 'this would be a great map for a future game'.

 

I'm going to overlook the fact that it's got more mountains, more unused space, a few really dodgy looking areas and some truly horrible roads. That's beside the point for this thread.

 

Like I said earlier, if the premise here was suggesting a map for a future game, then this discussion would be what you say it is.

 

But that's not what's happening. It's the same as threads we've had before, where people use it as an excuse to complain about V's map in an unconstructive way - mostly people stating what they didn't like, but not really offering solutions or improvements.

Completely unrealistic, awkwardly laid out and cramming three small cities into the map, making each feel incomplete? Fair play mate.

Yeah I think this map would have been much better, because the current map doesn't have enough mountains. We need more mountains, V's map is sh*t. A measly three mountains, R* got lazy.

Gameplay footage was released about a week before V came out and this forum had a meltdown because it wasn't IV 2.0. The backlash started before the game was officially released.

Put simply/TL;DR, the map and the content of it is half-finished and half-arsed. Sure they created "every inch of it", every inch of the sh*t stain that is Los Santos 'county' apparently.

we are talking about the map, not activities, if you want to whine about the lack of activities and interiors, go somewhere else, this concept map sucks next to V, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't exist, it has no activities or interiors, it doesn't look better, the layout sucks, is uninspired.

 

simple as that, V map is not the best thing evrr, but is certainly not a bad map.

 

 

I know I went a bit off-topic I was just using your post as an excuse to go on a rant about activities really :p

 

Back on-topic: what do you mean it doesn't make sense? It's not realistic? Because at the end of the day this is still a video game and I would take a more diverse and exciting map over realism anyday, I don't care if one side of the road is desert and the other snow, as long as its fun. Take GTA IV for example, Liberty City wasn't just based on New York, its based on a number of cities. As long as the map has a few ripoff landmarks to show what its based on that's cool with me, there's no need to sacrifice diversity for realism, if the next GTA was based on a desert we wouldn't all reward it for being one giant sandstorm.

 

The map might be 'all over the place', but at least its got more to it.

Most pc gamers already knew the game and the map and people said it's small and you can explore it in 1 day in the thread i think..............but i haven't see a single complain about the map they are busy playing it.

no, is a comdensed version of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and New Jersey, just more crammed and condensed, they didn't added anything that wasn't in New York.

I wasn`t even talking about the OP map, I`m just saying that the map in V is dull and lifeless. That`s my main grievance. If it were up to me there`d be no mountains or the mountains would only come after there was a fully proportional, lively map with interesting places and stuff to do. It gets into a discussion of the gameplay from there but it`s all interconnected.

To those who are fans of merely the visuals it would seem incomplete, but "incomplete" is not a word that`s ever occurred to me while playing SA because I was too busy having so much fun.

Bro bro slow down don't be like that, I know you think that V's map is better than that concept but don't force it on people, I think the concept owns V's current map.

then we agree to disagree, i think that map is not that good, more when comparing it to IV map in size, there are a lot of things that don't make sense and overall, the layout is awful.

i don't want to marry V's map, but i haven't seen anything better than R*'s work.

i'm saying that the fan made map doesn't make sense, is just bigger and has awful roads,more mountains and a looooong tunnel that goes below MT Chilliad, the guy who made that sure had a nerve when comparing in size it to LC.

the clean part is more about the game itself, wish we had a bigger ghetto area, a bigger Mirror Park and less mountains,more desert and i really wish the map looked like Raphael instead of Leonardo...

 

but the layout is not that bad and i like Sandy Shores and Paleto bay, it looks waaay better than that concept map.

 

either way, i got bored of this thread.
