Re: Grand Theft Auto V

But, but... they do Tokyo drifting there!

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

GTA Tokyo would be bar none the worst GTA game. Maybe even the most boring game of all time.

You know those suburban clowns that want to be gangsters? They're more dangerous than anyone in Japan.

The per capita murder rate of Japan is 1/100th that of Detroit with most of the murders coming from crazy people and not organized crime.

In 2007, the total number of firearm deaths from organized crime in the entire country was...

...

12

Obviously that's a nice figure for the residents but for a game based on killing people it leaves much to be desired.

Yeah but Detroit kinda sucks

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

yea gta4 did have them. they would pop up as little blue icons on the hud/map/radar or whatever you wanted to call them but you had to walk to them to trigger it. On RDR you would be able to see or hear the random people having trouble with something like wolves, bandits, etc.

Vice City sorta had that with the "good citizen" moments. No idea why they took those out, I kinda liked them.

Different game, but when actual Yakuza bosses played Yakuza 3, they said that the guy was doing too much fighting in it. If that's what the big time gang bosses over there are saying, this is not surprising to hear at all. And I agree, Tokyo would suck.

People should really just read the wiki article on the Yazuka.

There seems to be the perception that they're Japan's version of the Italian/Russian/Mexican mafia, Colombian cartels, or US street gangs when they aren't remotely close to that.

The Mexican cartels probably killed more people in Juarez last year than all of the combined Yazuka gangs have ever killed.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I personally don't care if they just refresh Vice City or San Andreas, like they did Liberty City.

SAN ANDREAS!!!

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

SA was definitely the best of the bunch. They nailed the west coast atmosphere...

And I loved the variance in landscape and locations (Compton, L.A., Las Vegas, Inglewood, and one of my faves, the countryside.

Don't forget the desert! I love biking through that area late at night blasting Radio X.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I wouldn't be surprised to see a dog fighting component of GTA-5, perhaps financed by Ron Mexico.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

San Andreas!!

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I definitely wouldn't mind Vice City or San Andreas. Personally I think it could go either way.

I think that the city it's set in will be more based on the time period they choose. If it's before 1990, I think any revisitation will be to Vice City. If not, I think it could be either.

However, I also wouldn't be surprised if they stepped it up a notch and included multiple locations among an area, like San Andreas. Which makes me think they could do a Texas like atmosphere. Get some Dallas, some border stuff, maybe include an Arizona like place, or even dip into Mexico a bit.

Either way, definitely should be interesting.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I'm not sure which game I liked better, San Andreas or Vice City. That's a good question. I think that while San Andreas had EVERYTHING, Vice City was just more awesome. Quite honestly, I feel like both of those games were more enjoyable than GTA IV.

Imagining a current gen GTA in a present day Vice City is making me salivate though. Imagine, the radio stations talking about "Leron Lanes" joining the "Vice City All-Stars" or something like that. Imagine all the lights and beaches. The clubs. Even possibly from going from living in a ****ty apartment to living in one of the mansions on the game's Star Island. I think it would be awesome if they added Key West and Fort Lauderdale. Hell even Cuba hahaha. All GTA needs IMO is a present day Vice City with way more character customization options, much more varied mission types, way more clubs/restaurants/places to freely explore, more houses and items to buy, much more expanded weaponry, ability to have relationships with people, and expanded interaction with NPCs.

I think im with you. I dont know which one I liked better out of san andreas and vice city but I think vice city would have more to offer with next gen consoles. just think of a city like mia and how good gta replicates cities. This could be one of the best games ever made with a better story then gta4. During the day vice city and san andreas has pretty much the same thing to offer but san andreas just dosent have the nightlife like vice city. But I think either city would make an awsome game on nex gen consoles as long as the story is deeper then it was in gta4. San andreas and vice city story made you want to keep playing it to see what would happen next. Liberty city story was good but I would keep playing it cause the things they would have you do and I just wanted to beat it, not because I wanted to see what would happen next.
Im not to big on character custimization though as far as changing the way they look. They way you could do it on san andreas is fine. I think if you were to be able to edit characters like you can do on saints row then that would take away from the story. What made cj such an enjoyable character to play with was his personality, etc. it just wouldnt be the same if cj was a white guy

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Vice City was the better city and Story, San Andreas was the better game. A marriage between the two would be the prefect game.
