coventry maybe but wd a milton keynes GTA really be any cop? GTA needs a sufficiently large mix of ethnicities and immigrant factions to work successfully dunnit? which probably discounts a heap of cities on my list, tho it would be nice to see them stray from that formula (I might be getting GTA wrong here btw, I'm not the biggest fanboy, feel free to correct me)

delhi wd be ace but I don't think the tech could handle the density of ppl req'd to be faithful

there aren't any iconic american cities left. chicago?

maybe it will be a historical title

Hey, guys! Love this conversation.

I voted for Tokyo. With the lights and tall skyscrapers and dense population, you could have some very engaging gameplay. If the artists at Rockstar really branch out like they did in GTA: San Andreas, you could include Mt. Fuji, rural Shinto areas of gameplay, and even the military base at Okinawa. Plus, Japan in itself geographically most resembles a GTA "state". Just imagine plots involving North Korean kidnappers and side missions in pachinko parlours!

Yanks would have to get used to driving on the wrong side of the road, but who knows? Maybe even Godzilla or the Enola Gay could make an appearance in the end!

I wonder what they would call it though. GTA: Miyogi?

I jumped in the other day, I think I'm only on level 7 or something. Tried an open wheel race - got wupped but enjoyed it.

There was a treasure hunt game that I took part in too, had fun with that too.

Might start playing this as well.

I revisited GTA IV last night, started a fresh save and am loving it. The city is so much more vibrant than V for me.

I also tried revisiting San Andreas on the ps2 this afternoon and man this game is brutal. There's a lot to do though, lots and lots and lots.

Ps2?

I play IV on the ps3 too, because the pc version is shitty.

maf you one two (maffew12), Sunday, 10 January 2021 23:17 (three years ago) link

I figured out how to play this game. I “wake up” online and just hang around my apartment during the day. When the sun goes down I go for a walk.

calstars, Saturday, 23 January 2021 22:42 (three years ago) link

Enjoying San Andreas on ps2, more than I thought I would tbh. After you recover from the initial gut-punch of low poly visuals the game becomes a monster of activity. So many places where just boarding a vehicle triggers some kind of side mission.

Loving the driving, as has been the best gta for motorbike controls I find.

Have done 80 tags out of 100, but having hard time remembering where the last ones are. The orange tags are quite hard to see.

Just opened the San Fierro part of the map and started all those back water type missions with Catalina and The Truth. Stuck now on the harvester mission that I keep failing for various reasons each time. But I'm gathering more rifle ammo on each attempt.

Forgot there was a betting shop in this game where you can gamble on the horses. The low poly interior models of the shop are almost empty and depressing looking - most realistic thing in this game.

Managed to max out my muscle which I don't believe I ever bothered with when I played it originally, I look terrific! And passers by often agree.

Attempting 100% on this, I predict driving licence section gonna be fun.

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Sunday, 24 January 2021 21:56 (three years ago) link

I love San Andreas. My favourite GTA.

I remember spending a long time working out to max those muscles but zero time bathing* or changing my clothes. That earned me plenty of comments from passers-by.

*in the game :)

Is changing your clothes the only way of 'cleansing' in this game? Cos yeah I'm getting those comments too.

I don't want to change my outfit though, I like my dumb hoodie and beach shorts.

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 26 January 2021 08:55 (three years ago) link

I think swimming cleans you too so work out at the beach

“it turns out Dr. Dre’s phone isn’t just missing — it’s in the wrong hands. Not only that, but the phone also contains the hottest property in the city: new, unreleased music from Dr. Dre himself.”

Uh huh

Ste, Friday, 21 January 2022 09:18 (two years ago) link

Because my friend now owns it and we've been having some fun online together.

One thing about the online, and we could probably coat most of Rockstar productions with this, is just how janky they make the presentation in regards to choosing jobs and missions. It's all over the place in terms of interface. Bombarded with messages about what's now available aaargh. Too many options that are pointless - why would I want to bother choosing a 'starting radio track' ? Take that shit out ffs.

It's nice to have an extra selection of cars from online, but this for me highlights more about R* neglecting any updates to solo mode where I don't see a problem with them providing extra vehicles to purchase.

We got a PS4 finally since PS5's are rare to find these days.

Had no idea that GTA Online had a subscription rate now. Wouldn't have bought – fuck, our third or fourth copy of this game? – had we known that.

Maybe I'll fork over the $5 a month eventually, but there were so many moments online where I'd think, "At least I'm not paying for this shit."

pplains, Friday, 8 July 2022 14:47 (one year ago) link

That's odd. I played a bit of it last month on PS5 and didn't have to pay a subscription. I bought V on PS4 when it came out and have vanilla PS plus.

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 10 July 2022 19:15 (one year ago) link

How would you compare the ps4 vs ps5 gta experience ?

calstars, Sunday, 10 July 2022 19:23 (one year ago) link

I only played for like an hour or two but it just feels very old, despite the improvements to the frame rate or whatever. The gunplay especially feels a million years old.

I got a few missions toward getting to the Dr. Dre stuff but I didn't make a ton of progress.

to be fair those rumours have been going around for a while now, and I don't believe Rockstar have confirmed anything other than that they are working on the game.

Strong possibility on both accounts though. Agree about a new thread, happy to endulge in any speculation etc on the next game.

I'm convinced that at least half of these open roam sessions are populated by children who haven't even hit puberty yet.

I ask my 13-year-old son, who has hit puberty, what's the deal and he's just, I dunno. I'm on Oculus.

I hear some kid warbling that he wants a car, can anyone give me a car, or another one almost burst into tears because he's getting griefed. I think, What the hell am I doing here? But then I think, But wait. This is a game made for adults, not these children!

I just mute the whole session now, but it's still weird. It wasn't unusual to hear a squeaker or two back in the day, but it's been nothing but during the holidays.
