Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / May 2008Question about taxis
In the new GTA you can hail a taxi to get to places. How come this didn't work for the black character in San Andreas? > In the new GTA you can hail a taxi to get to places.

The camera in SA was loads of fun with the photo oppotrunities but the mobile, apart from being clunky to take a photo, you can't do anything with it once you have! It would have been really easy to fit photo collecting into the story, he could be taking pictures to send to him mum for example. >>>>>>In the new GTA you can hail a taxi to get to places.

San Andreas spoiled us in that regard. Stadiums, casinos, real estate, races involving everything, the full spectrum of vehicles, etc. The huge environment made for all those nifty things to do as well. I know each GTA has to have it's own signature taste and features, but SA really did add some great toys to the sandbox that the series invented. And they are sorely missed. Flying fixed wingers, fuel tank door explosions. Garages for cars. OTOH, the new environment and physics are slammin. My only complaint is with the ragdoll department. When you bail out of a car, you tumble as fast and almost as far as the car goes. Which takes the fun out of bailing for the most part. Unless the car runs Niko over, then it's funny. I'm not on XBOX Live, but from what i've seen of the videos on youtube, multiplayer makes those shortcomings forgetable. > >>>>>>In the new GTA you can hail a taxi to get to places.

There is a mission where he has to do something with Packy. About halfway through he has to get into a vehicle and Packy jumps in too, only someone threw a grenade and suddenly packy is doing this weird thing, kind of half crawling half floating in space and it's like a bad Thunderbirds puppet. Problem then was he took so long to get back up we got hit again and that was that. and what's with the occasional thing where Niko (nearly called him CJ then!) touches something and falls over as if he has been hit. it doesn't happen often but it happens and it is usually something silly like a chair or piece of wood.

Well I am not sure about that. I bought myself a one month prepaid code to find this out myself and I experienced * Stupid retards in the lobby. Not only do they all talk this "gangster" style of English no matter where they are coming from but a good part of them is also unfortunately too dumb to find the A button. Imagine a deathmatch, everybody is "ready" except for one person who doesn't get the clue that he or she has to press the green button in order to start the game. AAARRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!! * Weird play style in deathmatch. Maybe I'm getting too old for this but taking cover on a roof and sniping everybody or driving a car and smashing all of the enemies with the car should get verboten real soon. It's just not fun (in my opinion at least). I doubt I will renew the Live sub when it expires having experienced *that*. > > I'm not on XBOX Live, but from what i've seen of the videos on youtube, > > multiplayer makes those shortcomings forgetable.

It's usually young americans who run around insulting folks and each other on TDU and they drove me to stop using my headset. The other day I bumped into a large group of cockneys and just one did the whole "innit" and "nah watta meen?" thing but he was enough to make me want to put my headset on and shout "YES, I KNOW WHAT YOU BLOODY MEAN!!!" > * Weird play style in deathmatch.

They get their kicks by winning this way and it isn't possible to plead to their better natures as they don't have one.

I've seen some funny thing or weird things I'd have liked to take a shot of and it's just a waste of time SignaturePaul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ >> >>>>>In the new GTA you can hail a taxi to get to places.

It does mention sending images but I assume it means in game and it seems only to those who have asked for them in a mission.
