So uh, since I’m asking this, I don’t mind being spoiled if it answers this one question:
What’ the most awesomely heinous thing you can do in this game, mission-wise OR free-roam?
Cause really, I **do **like the GTA series a lot. Quality goodness. But I still don’t think anything will top the sadism that is Postal 2. unzips pants pisses on a flaming, crippled victim pleading for mercy
Postal Dude: “And now the flowers will grow…”
If you loved SA you don’t have to worry at all. Its the classic GTA form but they make it feel unbelievably fresh. I wished every game had a sequel this involved. They took all the strengths and amplified to the highest. They put that $250mill to work.
The map is small so if youre lookin for a huge world to explore on the scale of SA youll be disappointed…but everything else about the gameplay is great
I’m not gonna spoiler this because it reveals nothing plotwise. The most messed up thing I’ve seen is probably the torture scene that people have been freaking out about, which can’t be skipped. You pull a dudes teeth out, break his knees with a wrench, waterboard him, then electrocute him. It didn’t really bother me so much but it’s got some people up in arms. But that’s GTA for you. It always gets extreme responses from the right crowds.
This though I will spoiler. Its related to the best Solomon mission IMO.
Spoiler
there is this one mission where a character you should hate by then, gets sucked into a jet engine and it sends MK style chunks all over an airplane hangar. I loved seeing that bitch bite it. Cheating me outta my damn money
Add me to the list. I finished IV, begrudgingly because most of the characters were bland as hell. I gave no fucks about Roman or his bitch, the stupid coke’d out Russian. Elizabetha…all meh.
Between IV and V, R* made Red Dead and Max Payne 3. Those games contributed heavily to V being much more mechanically sound than any other GTA. Driving is fast and smooth, shooting/gunfights are no longer a cumbersome chore…mini games are actually fun and the characters are engaging.
The only thing a SA die hard might miss are the gang fights, but it’s not relevant in this story because Franklin doesn’t give a fuck about being Grove Street and poppin Ballas.
It’s the best GTA by far, in every way imaginable.
V has everything SA had. The mountains, the forests, the desert, the military institutions, the city with both good and bad parts, underwater environments… everything.
There’s nothing so far that has made me think SA was a bigger map cause it wasn’t.
Driving on a highway actually feels like driving on a highway cause the land is so vast.
The lost are still around. Just not in mass. I see em riding around in the desert every once in awhile, or hanging out in front of places being assholes if you walk by. Just earlier a group of Lost called me a dick sucker, so I let em suck on an RPG in return. I would very much like to hear R* explanation on why they decided to off Johnny K in the beginning of the VERY NEXT game after he was introduced. I mean maybe TLAD didnt sell well and that was their way off saying that wont touch an arc like that again or something. Who knows.
Also have you guys touched any of this Epsilon Program shit yet? If you havent, while playing as Michael go to epsilonprogram.com on the internet. and take this one survey. It eventually starts a chain quest. You have to give them $500, meet some of their people, give them $5000, and then it turns into some weird car boosting shit which I have yet to complete that angle. I think this is their parody on scientology though. These motherfuckers are OUT THERE. Like past the fucking stars and shit.
Nah, I meant the ones just from the OG gang from the DLC. Terry and Clay died during the mission along with Johnny, and then Ashley dies later on. Only guy left is the one in the wheelchair, I guess. They were probably always doomed, thus the “Damned” angle. I mean look how many of them died in IV cause of Niko.
I haven’t done any bounties with Trevor. How the fuck are you supposed to bring a guy in alive? There ain’t a lasso like in RDR. But… I’m guessing the stun gun in Ammu-Nation is gonna play a part in this.
The tow missions for Mike are getting crazy. Had to tow a car off of train tracks before the train hit. Not as bad as I thought it would be.
That’s odd, I’ve never regretted a game purchase. Even if I didn’t enjoy GTA4 enough to finish it, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t enjoyable enough to play.
I never played Saints Row, or RDR, so I can’t compare on those. I own Saints row on PC but haven’t even installed it lol
I had the best trevor moment. Switched over to him, he’s riding down the freeway on a moped, dressed up like a fucking preppy boy (flip flops, shorts, polo) and singing “We’re the scooter bros! Scooter Bros!”
I look and there’s 2 more mopeds, and the 3 of us are riding in formation.
I kept up with them, he kept singing his scooter brothers song.
Little things like this show the amount of polish on this game : )
Besides a few subtitle mistakes (Bleeder instead of Bleeter, Wizz instead of Whiz) occasionally, only thing I’ve seen wrong game wise was that when you use Frank to check an ATM, his bank is Maze. But if you try to check the account via phone, it says he doesn’t have an account with Maze… it’s with Fleeca instead. Michael’s bank shit is correct though.
R* said you could use the bus as a passenger and that there were bus routes. Has anybody been able to actually do it?
