String Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) 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.

Americana Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) 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.

GhettoJesus Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) 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.

String Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 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.

String Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) 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?

String Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) 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!

Carbonox Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 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.

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 Edited January 18, 2021 by Wayne Kerr Max Payne and jazzbone 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/967518-gta-soapbox/#findComment-1071457450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

String Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) 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.

TheAgentSmiff Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 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.
