Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[Anachronistic]

So Rockstar and Take-Two are taking down mods again, this time going after basically all the big map conversions. Nothing says a game company supporting it's fanbase like shitting on all their creative endeavors.

Take-Two changes the agreement, Modding Take Downs

Just to make sure as many people here know as possible, Take-Two have been going heavy with the DMCA's this week, first starting with GTAV map mods like GTA3 Portland, Vice City Overhaul, etc, which is fair as they fell under the "agreement". Oh wait... What's the "agreement"? The "agreement" cam...

For some reason the GTAF users think it's because a 3D Era remaster/remake is in the works, even though this is clearly being done because the mods get in the way of Online's player traffic.

I think Dan Houser just isn't that good of a writer.

I actually think, outside of GTA IV and maybe Max Payne 3, he's a pretty good video game writer. It's very hard to make a good video game that has the kind of quality writing you find in a novel or film IMO. To go down that route will often be detrimental to the game.

I don't even think there was supposed to be a message to San Andreas. Sweet is just a dumb asshole, and him being a dumb asshole is the catalyst to get you to go back to Los Santos and finish off Big Smoke and Tenpenny. It would have honestly been dumber for Carl to just go back for petty revenge. At least with Sweet there is a familial component to justify it.

Would you want the GTA V character switch mechanic to come back in VI?

If it's in Vice City/Columbia or whatever, I'd rather it be a time skip like Driver: Parallel Lines or something tbqh.

I almost feel like they'd have to do that. Modern day Vice City would be kind of lame, but none of the kiddies are going to be buying shit in 80's GTA Online 2.

 

[Captain Syrup]

kiddies are going to be buying shit in 80's GTA Online 2.

Kids aren't into sandboxes like they were 20 years ago. It's all battle royale now.

I'm burned out on crime sims, myself. The itch has been scratched.

So I managed to reach the final mission in GTA 4 (I took the revenge ending cause fuck Dimitri) and there's a fucking bug that makes it impossible to complete the mission without dicking around in task manager. This has been an issue with GTA 4s PC port for years apparently, you'd think Rockstar would of fixed this in that update that merges the base game and DLC but I suppose removing songs from the radio is more important.

That action is linked to frame rate. The faster the frame rate, the more inputs the game would require for that particular task. GTA games before V weren't meant to handle a high frame rate.

Playing the game on Xbox Series S|X emulates that same bug as well. That's poor optimization.

Jody Mcgregor from CringeGamer (i'm still not over that terrible E3 show) done a piece rather quickly on this.
seeing silent getting assmad over this makes it even funnier. do these niggers even know about the russian modding sites which T2 has no power over?
fucking hell it reminds me of this picture:

 

[Friendly Primarina]

Same, notably CJ never mentions Ryder when he realizes him and Smoke are there. The part where you kill him is anti climactic from a story perspective too. You just blow him up in game without a cutscene. Obviously corners were cut or they had a falling out with his VA or something.


Him moving away from the hood and mysteriously having tons of cash from an "aunt" passing were key signs too.

CJ never mentions Ryder because the decision to have him betray Grove Street along with Smoke came fairly late in development.

That famous Drive-Thru mission as well.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xoRtkZHL_LE
Smoke's a fatass, but he's a tactical fat-ass. Order all that food so that the ambush could be set. Notice how he doesn't shoot back.

His new home is in Idlewood, Ballas territory.

Time constraints? Actor disputes? It can't be the latter because MC Eith's Straight Up Menace is in GTA V. Unless something changed or it's a different manner.

I can't find the source atm but the consensus is the writers just didn't know what to do with Ryder, so they just had him betray the Grove along with Smoke. Until I find the source take that with a pinch of salt.

 

[The Last Stand]

What happens if you use services in GTA with no money?

San Andreas has negative money because of the gambling. Although, you could still go to friends activities with no money. Must be an oversight.

 

[X Pac Heat]

MC Eith's Straight Up Menace is in GTA V.

He'd probably have little control over this and it'd be on the record company that owns the rights. And I'd bet Rockstar wouldn't be that assmad at him to not use a song.

 

[MirrorNoir]

Would you want the GTA V character switch mechanic to come back in VI?

Technically, GTA V wasn't even the first to do such a concept. Driver: San Francisco did something similar with its seamless transition between vehicles in real time.

I think they will keep it for 6 purely to let their thread the needle protagonist-wise. Given the rumors about Rockstar contemplating a female protagonist for current year good boy points, a multi-protagonist game lets them have a female lead, a white male lead, and a black male lead so they don't have to deal with the woke lynch mob organizing against them when they decide to crucify GTA for not bowing to the SJW death kult.

As for Saints Row, I really want to see Saints Row 1-2 at least get ported to the Switch so you can have the entire series there. Doesn't even have to be an update edition.

Why would GTA of all franchises care about "treading the line" with politics? Since its inception, GTA has always caused controversy because of its subject matter. That's just surface level.

Then again, now that I think of it, Vice City changed some dialogue after Cubans and Haitians complained about a "race war." And there's the whole San Andreas Hot Coffee modification. And IV with MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and being able to drive intoxicated...

Hmm, Chinatown Wars allowed you to buy and sell drugs in an economy minigame. And V had a torture segment in the plot.

This is current GTA, current Rockstar and current Take Two Interactive.

A "woke" GTA would be fascinating to see. I'm not going to lie. And no, Watch Dogs 2 doesn't count.

I don't think a woke GTA would sell. If you take out everything that makes the game a GTA game, why would anyone buy it?

 

[The Last Stand]

How WOULD you make GTA "woke?"

 

[White Devil]

How WOULD you make GTA "woke?"

They would probably remove all the witticism from the DJs on the radio, restrict violence against minorities and women, make the main character or characters minorities, lecture and preach to you at every available moment in the game to. There's probably all kinds of dumb shit they could do that could turn GTA into a lame Just Cause copy but with more leftist propaganda.


Hell, they'd probably make it to where you couldn't kill hookers anymore and get your money back.

 

[X Pac Heat]

I don't think they'd go full on woke or anything like you can't kill prostitutes and stuff, but I could easily see them shoehorning a crazy female protagonist and the humor getting really shitty. Of course, one could argue that might happen regardless with Dan Houser not being the writing lead and Lazlow being gone from the radio writing or whatever.
