GTA 5 Countryside feeling!

[MEHDIAZ10]

Hey, do you guys also get that special feeling when you are visiting the countryside/sandys hores? It's a feeling that i cant put my finger on. I dont know if its a RDR2 feeling. It's everything, the houses,the style,etc I am born and raised in Sweden. I live in a Swedish countryside and i get KINDA the same feeling at home but it might be so i dont know if it's some sort of "American" feeling. Here is one of many pictures that i also get a weird feeling from. It's not a bad feeling, it's just different and special. Sorry for being so deep guys haha.

I wouldnt call it a feeling. But I must say I enjoy it when we I take the highway out of the city. Not that there’s something more interesting in the countryside in this game but its always a welcome change from the city. I live in a small town myself.

If your getting a feeling by being out in sandy shores you might want to go see a doctor,  a good dose of penicillin may be needed.  On a serious note  I wish there was more to do in the country side of the map.

I’d be interested is some down trodden garages out of the city. The only reason I don’t have any outside of the city is due to needing space. Apparently nobody wants to own a 10 car garage outside of los santos...

Not really, the countryside in 2004's San Andreas had more of that feeling I guess. Probably because those places felt more remote than Sandy Shores or Paleto and the atmosphere was better in SA.

I can see how someone who’s only ever lived in a frozen icehole would see desert and immediately think ‘old west’. To me it just gives off Bantustan vibes. Filthy, violent, rampant drug usage. Sort of place you’d see a dead kid rotting in a gutter and nobody would care.

Let me just start by saying I've been to that part of the US. I have actually recently moved there from Egypt. Did the game inspire me to go? Not really. But there is an odd charm to such a place. It reminds me a lot of home, well my old home shall I say except there is much more snow there than you might think for a desert.

Well, I can see how someone who's only ever lived in a hot warm place call Sweden a "frozen icehole". During the winter its rare that the there is snow everywhere. It's mostly in "Norrland" and "Lappland" (the northern part of Sweden) where it's alot of snow.

Not really, if I'm honest. There's not enough woodland or winding roads. It's all mountain apart from right next to Paleto.

I hate how the country is in gta5. Sandy shores and paleto is too small, they shouldve been a big connected countryside city. Soemthing That rivaled ls. Theres no reason to go to the countryside im gtao tbh. Wish the towns were set up like in gta sa

[MaddenedGhost]

I know what you mean, I enjoy it when I am out there, it reminds me of how I used to spend a long time just driving in the countryside of GTA San Andreas.

Paleto Bay and the areas around Sandy Shores have that American small town feeling. Sandy Shores is a dump though, it's based on the Salton Sea which is a toxic abandoned wasteland.

I spend most time in the countryside, it's whats makes GTA V so great for me. Rockstar will hardly be able to top this in a future GTA.

I off road on my manchez a lot so I end up around that area one way or another....its nice.....they sould have done more with it, feels like only 1/3rd of the map is utilised....

when you spend hours in the main city, then right after visit the upper map; it feels like a breath of fresh air.

sometimes it just nice to see what you don't see as much since we are always in the city portion.
