So far, of all the fetch quests I’ve done:
All the letter scraps = that ‘mission’ where you can kill the dude
All the spaceship parts = that dune buggy that controls worse than the one Trevor gets for free at his air port
All the nuclear waste = Money.
All the Stunt Jumps = Nothing
All the “Under the Bridges” = Nothing.
I still have to do the Knife Flights, but I gotta tell ya, this shit is fucking disappointing. The ONLY reason we did these stupid collect-a-thons in the past with a smile on our face was because of the awesome rewards we got for it. Weapons and Armor that spawn at your hideout, awesome attack helicopters and other stupid shit that made it feel worth it. These rewards have not been doing it for me* at all*.
I collected the submarine parts a couple days ago. Its funny seeing Abigail’s reaction at the end but the reward is bullshit.
I gotta say, the thing that drives my cray about GTA V (same with GTA IV) is that after awhile it just feels like there’s a lot that you can’t do. The basketball court by the beach just sitting there… hell, you could play b-ball in San Andreas. Franklin can’t play Tennis, they should’ve let him be able to play hoops. The fact that its Vinewood (Hollywood) and the lack of things to see on TV and in theaters is weak. I mean c’mon, only THREE movies you can watch? The theaters advertise movies you can’t even see.
I know a lot of this stuff is gonna be DLC. TLAD and TBOGT both had new TV programs, after all. Its just that waiting is gonna be wack.
As long as princess robot bubblegum eventually comes back I’m fine with the small TV show count. I do miss basketball though. I remember trying to make shots from the sidewalk on the grove street half court.
Yeah there’s a lot left unfinished, that I hope gets resolved with DLC. Basketball courts is one. There’s a lot of things that had seeds planted, but never went anywhere (there’s a dating site in game for married women who want to cheat, and you can contact them but nothing happens. One is michaels Wife even). There’s no recurring car theft options like in GTA:Online (I really want a gone in 60 seconds style heist the more I think about it). There’s 2 concert venues in the game (more if you count stuff like Tequila-la-la even) and yet nothing is done with them, no concerts or anything.
I really believe that there is more to the game than we know at this point, and rockstar hid quite a bit of stuff. There has to be a jet pack with the way they put a graphic of it in their game. Stuff like the Infinity Killer being in game, with clues everywhere and you can even find the bodies he dumped in the water, but it doesn’t go anywhere.
It’s not a bad game, there is a lot of detail and a ton of stuff to do… but the problem is I could see where they wanted to do “more” and just didn’t have time.
I’m picking gtaV up this saturday. Just want yall to know, if I catch you breaking the law online, that’s yo ass. I heard you can dial 9-1-1 online and the cops will come. If that’s true, i’m snitchin. All day, erry day. Run up get locked up my niggas.
Yeah… I guess the cost of ‘no loading screen’ after bootup is that there’s just less stuff to do in general. I was disappointed that I couldn’t go into a fast food place to refill my health because there is no going inside them at all. I had to look for soda machines which are a lot harder to find due to their size. And yeah, seeing stuff like the horse races but them just being ghost towns… just kinda disappointing. Large size counts for nothing if so much of it can’t be interacted with.
So many backstabbing characters that killed to get somewhere. Smh.
I mentioned that before. That’s definitely going to open up. The fact that Trevor shows up in front of it from time to time (and it’s not even ‘open’ yet) means something. In fact, I find it odd that when you switch characters they always end up in front of places you can’t go into. I don’t doubt some of them will open up with DLC.
I’m playing San Andreas again and they had so MUCH in this fucking game. There was strip clubs I didn’t even know about until just a few weeks ago.
Oddly enough there are many places with semi rendered interiors. There is this one building down the road from where the Bugatti spawns, where the windows are actually transparent. There are objects inside of it with extremely low resolution textures. I think its a jewelry store that might be there for heists. There are many more locations like that as well but that one is the most memorable to me.
Yeah, I remember switching to Mike once and he was walking out of what appeared to be a classy restaurant. I go backwards and I can’t go into it, but I can definitely see that it it’s not just a flat textures for the windows like other buildings, it actually looks like a place you can go into.
I guess we’ll just have to wait for a next-gen open world game to do what this game couldn’t. I’d hate to say it, but I honestly felt like Sleeping Dogs’ world was more ‘alive’ than this one.
Ok so I’m trying to get the achievement for robbing all the stores in GTA online but its this one store thats damn near impossible. It’s but Trevor’s neck of the woods and there’s always a group of people talking outside and when i point the gun at the clerk, somebody always comes in to shoot me down. I tried killing them first but somebody always comes from out of nowhere and shoots me to hell. WTF?
I always pposition myself with an aisle between the vigilante and myself, so that I’ll survive til the clerk gives me the cash. Then I kill the clerk and the vigilante. (If you kill the vigilante first, the clerk will shot you, sometimes with a much bigger gun.) Then run out and take off your mask as soon as you aren’t in police view so you get that helicopter off your trail.
Was playing online earlier and walked by two pedestrians and bumped into each other and they started fighting. Then the guy that won the fighting started stomping on him. Cruel world in los santos
