GTA Soapbox

[String]

I thought I'd make this thread to serve as a general GTA chat thread of sorts, where you can talk about anything GTA that doesn't necessarily fit in topics like GTA Confessions or Unpopular Opinions. If you ever felt like saying something about GTA but which didnt warrant its own thread/didnt fit in any other thread then feel free to post here if you wish.

 

I'll start

I always thought that the gunshot at the ending of GTA III was just a cool parting shot for the game and find it funny how seriously some people take it to mean that Claude killed Maria. But then it's always nice to see some discussion, but I never for one second thought Claude decided to kill Maria just because she talked too much. Don't think Claude even showed any initiative like that throughout the game. He'd kill Maria without a second thought if someone ordered him to though.

I think he didn't kill hee because it would have been useless before but since everything is finished there's no problem in killing her or He developed enough IQ to think for himself and not only do his bosses orders

Edit : sorry for the doublepost

It looks like they don't always merge

I wonder why Rockstar never implemented a very simple feature of leaving the wheels turned after we exit the car.

 

You can say that most people wouldn't care, so why would Rockstar bother. Okay, but... some other games have that - Watch Dogs 1 and Watch Dogs 2... oh and every Mafia game.

Probably not an unpopular opinion so I am gonna share it here. Anyone else is weirded out how gang territories are distributed in San Andreas? It just occurred to me recently, what are gangbangers doing at Santa Maria Beach, Verona Beach, Temple and at the Conference Center? They don't seem like locations where these criminals would show up in large numbers. Should have just made the other turfs smaller and leave out these weird locations.

I agree I found it funny that Ballas control territory so close to the posh Vinewood area. But then some of my favorite gang wars were in Temple, blasting Ballas with the Vinewood sign in the background and in the beach too, makes for a picturesque location for a gunfight honestly, even if it doesn't make much sense. Though the Ballas that spawn on the beach only come equipped with baseball bats and pistols even in the third wave from my experience. So you can get a large slice of territory pretty easily.

So Toni pays 20.000$ for the bombs. And at the end, Love pays him 18.000$ at total. What the hell.

I just wondered yesterday 

Where did Tommy get all of these people working for him suddenly 

After killing Diaz VC suddenly became full of Italians . The unique ones from the missions worked for Diaz but where did all of these people come from?

Even though pool in IV is more fleshed out, I prefer pool in SA for these two reasons

 

1) I struggle to get power behind my shots in IV compared to SA

2) If I lose I could always beat up my opponent with the pool cue to let off some steam but in IV I only play pool with friends/date and cant do that to them now if I lose, can I?

One thing that's outdated in Grand Theft Auto IV is the way Niko opens the door.

 

Nowadays games have nice animation for door opening, but in Grand Theft Auto IV all Niko does is push the door... 

[String]

Well I'd settle for such things getting outdated over physics, story and such 

 

I gotta hand it to @Cheatz/Trickz, his tip to use sleep mode when I want to free roam in IV without worrying about friends calling works pretty well I must say, has made it more enjoyable free roaming. We had an argument about this and I still worry if I'll miss out on anything but largely it helps. So thanks man!

Dan Houser: In Grand Theft Auto V we can have a good story, physics and characters or... door opening animation.

Sam Houser: Dude, the second one sounds dope.

[Carbonox]

I miss it when the games were still so arcadey that there were some really random over the top fun missions (usually not part of the main story), which a modern game like GTA Online would have to justify with an extremely drawn out Lester monologue and a ridiculous amount of lampshading that misses the entire point of just having fun.

 

Talking about the SPANKed up suicide bombers in III, the arena survival mayhem against angry cabbies in VC, or just about any RC mission from SA.

[Dr Busta]

Can we talk about how CJ became Similar to the joker since people now quote CJ for things that he never said

I find some of them halirious and I feel like CJ really would say things like that

But he never said " a lot of guys don't like me but their girlfriends do" or stuff like that

Also nice new name

[Max Payne]

How do i get the hidden package on the train station?(LCS)

[Dr Busta]

CJ doesn't look like a human anymore

Not only because SA has the worst designs in the series but after all of these memes and edits

He looks like an Alien

Just look at this

Or maybe all the people in the world don't look humans except CJ

Which one exactly?

[Max Payne]

Station around Red Light District. There is a hidden package on the train station. I tried staying on the train to jump later which didn’t work because Toni couldn’t stand straight on a moving train.

I could only find this on a gamefaqs thread, don't know if it helps

 

Quote

there is 2 ways to reach the roof

1) use a PCJ and use the stairs as a ramp (PS/ bend foward by move your analog stick some up and you'll get faster)

 

2) find a car (patriot or that another 4x4 car. Go to the station north of the hospital in Portland. from there, you can drive on the railways and drive from there to the station with that hiddenpackage on the roof. (drive on the left railway) and when you're in front of the station, wait till the train is there (place your car on the middle plate between the 2 rails) and jump on your car. When the train is there, jump on the train and then jump on the roof. Now you can pick it up. nr 2 is a long way and sometimes it needs your driving skill cos you might not fall of the railway and driving on the middle plate is difficult. but if you have done it, it is now easy to take the hidden package

 

 

Niko's expression when Brian Meech gives him 100 dollars in that random encounter, gets me every time

I mean, suicide bombers dudes on SPANK would work even in HD Grand Theft Auto games. However, survival mayhem in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was just stupid as f*ck.

How many times do  people get mind controlled by some drug and turn into a huge army of exploding zombies everyday?

Edit: something like that really happened in the HD Universe but it was GTA 5 protagonists being high asf

Man I liked the cabmageddon mission in VC, was pretty fun and I don't see the problem in it, doesn't matter if it made sense or not it was a good mission. But all i had to do was drive in large circular paths a few times and I'd beat the timer. Still fun and the cab leader charging at you with a katana(?) was funny

 

I like the rival cab company's cab design over Kaufman cabs design tbh, I also didn't like how the radio would get deactivated in the Kaufman cabs once you unlock that asset.

Ok I am  very late to the party,  with GTA V on PC

 

But  remember my first time  with GTA 1. on my  crappy Cyrix powered 120mHz 5x86  with a whopping  1 meg video, and 16meg RAM. Win  95. 

I  have just gotten into GTA V and Online. So far so good. 

I   am looking into that  mega pack  of GTA for DOS box. would be great to go down memory lane... 

I remember how  I used to pee off my GF hitting  the space bar on  my clackety IBM keyboard me being mostly oblivious because of  my headphones. LOL

and the time i stole a  big bus that had  +JESUS+ on top of it and could not stop in time  and  plowed a pedestrian. The last  thing  he said was... "JESUS!" Splat! LOL 

Loved all the little missions you could do as well. 

[Americana]

Bro, back in 2005 I had an awful PC which could only run Grand Theft Auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2, but me and my buddies really enjoyed playing these games. Also, let me tell you something - trying to find a tank in Grand Theft Auto 2 with my buddy was one of the best memories I have when it comes to Grand Theft Auto games.

Let's not forget those ghostly $4,000 he gets out of nowhere for watching Toshiko commit suicide.

Biggest question is why does THIS TINY ASS territory exist? What's the POINT?

The red flashing one, that is. I'm sure a lot o f people had trouble taking care of that broke dick piece of sh*t territory. Whoever okayed that territory should be thrown into a game of Fortnite.

A confession : I had to use cheat menu to spawn some ballas because all of the territories around it were owned by Grove

And I don't regret
