If that thingy wasn't there, you wouldn't be able to see the "Temple" text on screen when entering the area encompassed by that particular cube. Anyway, my advice would be to get that little territory first while the area around that cube is still under Ballas' control, then take on the rest of them.

True. Nowadays I always take that turf first just to make sure I don't miss it. Once you take the bigger one I don't think you get a chance to take the tiny one.

Carbonox Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I feel like the territory aspect could've been handled so much better than the final product, where it's like a human neither programmed nor tested that sh*t. There was a little speck in East Beach that was another pain in the ass to do if you'd already gotten the adjacent ones, and that parking lot in Jefferson where there's kinda no foot paths for Ballas to spawn on to begin with.

String Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 I feel it's better the next GTA has a single ending rather than multiple, not that multiple endings are bad but generally for me single endings feel like a better climax to the story than multiple and even there it feels one ending is vastly better than the other, even in IV where taking down Peg didnt feel nearly as good as taking down Dimitri imo. Not that they should do away with multiple endings fully but I think it doesn't necessarily have to be the norm.

String Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Anyone feel CJ is kind of mysterious? Like, a lot of the time it felt I didn't know what his exact thoughts in the story were for eg what exactly he thought about his brother, he expressed himself after Sweet is out of jail and says that he wants to get out of the hood but that's put to a stop quickly and nothing more comes out of it. I wanted to know more of his thoughts after all that happened in the Green Sabre, but he gets back to business quickly with Catalina and dealing with CRASH. He seemed to do his own thing in Fierro and Venturas, did he feel any conflicted emotions as he grew from strength to strength while Sweet was in jail and Smoke and Ballas were stifling GSF? Don't get me wrong I really like CJ but as expressive as he was I felt there was more to him that we didn't see. But then I thought, maybe it's not necessary to know the protagonist fully, maybe it's more natural just to see their role in the story and then have them as a vessel through which we play the game. After all even Tommy felt that way a bit, what were his thoughts with the Cuban-Haitian conflict and how he played both? Was he even aware working for Auntie Poulet? When did he decide to switch from bringing back Sonny's money to deciding to take over Vice or was it the plan all along? And then there's Claude, we never know what he's thinking Sometimes it's nice that not everything is spelt out and you have to read between the lines. Maybe I got used to the HD era protagonists where their characters are so fleshed out and their backstories relatively much better explained that it felt I knew all the innermost workings of Michael's mind or all of Niko's conflicted emotions. They are so much more expressive as characters that when I went back to the 3D era I felt the 3D era characters are so much more reserved in expressing their thoughts though they don't hold back in interacting with the mission givers and characters around them, but don't talk much about how they're viewing the whole events unfold. So what started as me feeling CJ was mysterious made me think about the difference in the approach of protagonists in the two popular eras of GTA, and while I initially felt the 3D era protagonists shouldve expressed their thoughts a bit more (and I still feel they could've shown Tommy and CJ's views about the events bit more) but I now think it's almost a nice change to read between the lines a bit when it comes to these protagonists as opposed to the HD protagonists where almost every view of theirs about events around them is told to you Edited January 21, 2021 by Wayne Kerr Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/967518-gta-soapbox/page/2/#findComment-1071459594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Today I started thinking about another related topic - remember when the mission texts used to be quite unofficial while having a lot more character, in moments of success and failure alike? "Less than four girls working the Fuzz Ball and Luigi won't be happy!" "DEALER MINCED!!" "Misty is morgue meat!" "You couldn't win a raffle, LOSER!" "Pizza too hot for you?" "You bailed! Too tough for you?!" They held back no punches when insulting players for failing, which I imagine no developer is willing to do in 2021.

String Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 I saw this sentiment expressed on another thread but I was thinking about this myself before so thought I'd talk about it here. Roman Bellic is the biggest idiot in the series. He was talking about moving on from the cab business and buying a classy food place, said that was the dream of his life and then he gets the insurance money which allows him to do just that. It's clearly a large sum cause he buys that luxury safehouse in Middle Park with it. So you assume he can move on from the sh*tty cab life and live his dreams. What does he do? Start another cab business... I'm not complaining free cab rides are convenient af I love them, but Roman is still an idiot.
