Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / July 2008Stupid things in GTA IV MP
First of all , although this game got 10's all over the place, its far from perfect. First in race modes when you get killed you should respawn at last check point with the vehicle you chose at the beginning... NOT a scooter. Next the Waypoint markers should be a different color other than yellow as its hard to see in daytime. And last but not least, the idea to have the option of having pistols with heavy weapons is dumb in MP Since if your put in such a game your always forced to look for a better weapon as you always spawn with pistols...those are the top 3 complaints but there are more that really need to be fixed. Oh and how great would it be to have the same type of replay mode as halo 3 has? > First of all , although this game got 10's all over the place, its far > from perfect.

Halo, Schmalo... I agree with you in that there are a lot of faults to this game... sure it's technically superior to SA, but better? No. SA is better than this game. I mean I could go on and on about what you can do in SA and what you can't do in IV. IV is technology over story, SA is story over technology. > > First of all , although this game got 10's all over the place, its far > > from perfect.

SA was land mass over technology. Vice City was story over land mass. Each of these games pushes a particular envelope- and in SA it was simply the scope for exploration. A lot of cool things disappeared (such as rampages) and there were welcome and unwelcome additions (such as swimming and girlfriends, respectively), but the "plot" in SA is pathetic compared to earlier incarnations of the game. This thread is exactly the same as the SA thread that ensued just after its PS2 release, while us PC users waited for that version. I still remember trolls griping about the main character being black. I remember the misgivings about a largely rap-based soundtrack, after the wonderful radio stations in VC. All you people complaining about the faults and shortcomings of GTAIV will be doing exactly the same when GTAV is released, and comparing it to the great storyline and characters in GTAIV. > "Buckaroo Banzai" wrote... > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > be doing exactly the same when GTAV is released, and comparing it to the > great storyline and characters in GTAIV. Sorry, but I have to disagree. I don't have any affinity for these characters, I am often working with people who I would rather have the option to at least give a good slap to, the accents are wearing on my nerves, and I really don't have the urgency to play this one as I have with most of the others. Having said that there are still flashes of great humour, stunning graphics, some interesting story lines and lots of other stuff to like. BTW I was one of the people who grumbled about the black thing in SA, but mainly as the violence level seemed to have been ramped up. What i should have said though, and it is true of GTAIV, is that a lot of the humour in these games comes from their very un PC attitude, jokes are based pretty much around national/racial characteristics and in jokes on the locations/situations. I personally think CJ was the best all round character we have had.

I actually thought that was very GTA, no offense to black people... CJ was a much better protagonist than Nico.... Sure his whole reason for coming back to SA kind of got lost but is Nico's any clearer? I'm a broken record- I miss jump jets, jet packs, parachutes, go-karts, hover craft, Sam Jackson, James Woods, Gun ranges, work-outs, degrees of expertise in weapons and motorcycles... ETC, ETC, ETC.

I am really beginning to appreciate the car handling in IV but the bikes just seem to lock up and slide all the time, and there's always cars throwing themselves at you at just the right speed to catch you out... it's a bitch.

What i [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > the story and characters being black... I actually thought that was very > GTA, no offense to black people... I've only seen GTAIV in action over someone's shoulder. I won't be playing it 'til it's out on PC. All I was commenting on was that with SA there was initially a similar backlash to the story/characters/music/losses, and welcoming of the little extras, when it came out. That dwindled into general acceptance quite quickly, and the same will happen with GTAIV's complaints, to the extent that when GTAV comes out (or the next location variation that uses the GTAIV engine), that too will be compared unfavourably, but this time with the GTAIV you're all playing now. I was ambivalent about CJ throughout the whole of SA. He was weak and ambled from mission to mission, pushed and pulled by the support cast, with no clear direction. Tommy and Claude had primal motives for what they were doing, and it sounds like Niko does too. That can only be a good thing, even if the motives themselves are unpleasant. >> "Paul Heslop" <paul.heslop@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > GTAIV engine), that too will be compared unfavourably, but this time with > the GTAIV you're all playing now. I really have to disagree with you here. Every GTA up until now as added features... GTA IV is the first game to eliminate features from the previous games. I don't think that those eliminations will be forgiven. What did we gain? Graphics... that's really it. I mean in SA we could own businesses, grab a plane and fly out to sea as far as we wanted... GTAIV is all about limitations... While IV is a marvel, no doubt, SA is far superior > I was ambivalent about CJ throughout the whole of SA.

Wow, I have to respectfully disagree. CJ had the clearer mission, which wasn't that clear. But Tommy? He was supposed to find out about some stolen drugs, and ended up running Vice City?

While IV is a marvel, no doubt, SA is > far superior Well the only things that spring to mind with SA in terms of "losses" are the rampages and the decent radio, so although I'd argue there were "lost" features in SA, that's not the point I was trying to make. Broadly speaking, there was antipathy toward SA compared with VC, in the same way there was antipathy toward VC compared with GTA3 (only two islands, and the flat geography compared with Lib City). Each time, it took a while for the newer game to gain favour, and because the games were getting bigger, the gripes were more and took longer to dwindle. It's easy for the PC-only player like me to be more objective with such trends because our opinions aren't skewed by actually playing the game. By the time we get to see it, everyone's settled down and is enjoying it, and bugs have been fixed. ;o) > Wow, I have to respectfully disagree. CJ had the clearer mission, which > wasn't that clear. But Tommy? He was supposed to find out about some > stolen drugs, and ended up running Vice City? You're talking complete bollocks. ;o) Actually, you're not, but I couldn't let that "respectfully disagree" crap go by without comment: This is supposed to be a group full of Columbine-inducing, cop-murdering lunatics with a grudge (if you believe the press we get), the sort who use a baseball bat during disagreements, not respect ;o) Anyway, I could see Claude's mission as starting as empire building and finishing as revenge. Tommy's started as self-preservation and finished as empire building. CJ's is simple - regaining respect, ultimately exposing traitors and corrupt cops. However, it's hidden under so many other plots (Catalina, OG Loc, Truth, the whole casino thing and that CIA bloke) it's lost entirely. The side missions attempt, and fail, to weave into the plot, while on the previous games they stayed as just side missions. The most ridiculous one is where you end up chasing OG Loc to try and revive the rapper's career you helped destroy in the first place. The thing is, it's all down to subjective opinion, so what works for one person doesn't for another. This post will still be available in five years or so, though. When GTA4:VC or GTAV come out, I'll revisit my prediction that people will gripe about how bad it is compared to GTA4. Actually, I'll temper that slightly. If they based the next incarnation of GTA in the 80s using the GTA4 engine, I can't see anyone complaining. I'd buy a console for that even if they used the exact same music that was on the original Vice City... >> Wow, I have to respectfully disagree.

Perhaps (I don't much like the karts), but either way it leaves a gaping rift in the plotline.... >> The thing is, it's all down to subjective opinion, so what works for one >> person doesn't for another.

No- conceited. ;o) Actually, what prompted that observation was the thread on alt.games.half-life regarding its ten-year anniversary. The guy who proposed the RFD is basically saying "See. I was right". I don't know if a pre-emptive "I told you so" is even more pretentious than that, though. Perhaps I'll be quiet, now. >> When GTA4:VC or GTAV come out, I'll revisit my prediction that people >> will gripe about how bad it is compared to GTA4. > > GTA4:VC sounds like a cool game.. how would that work? IV engine running > VC story? Well VC engine running the VC landscape, at least - the same as Liberty City's facelift between GTA3 and GTA4. I don't think it would work well, though - VC's charm was in the timeframe it was set. I'd still buy it if it was just a port of the old story and soundtrack, but of course a new story, and characters would be necessary for it to sell to more discerning players... > > GTA4:VC sounds like a cool game.. how would that work?

I always had a Scarface feeling on VC and the real thing has been done now, so don't know what they would do with a true update of the game. I don't think I liked the landscape of VC at all and have no urge to play it again sam.

VC certainly did nail down a decade (the 80's) better than all the other GTA titles. Music, cars, colors, and the main island at night. Great theme. Even the storyline wasn't bad. And who doesn't like Ray Liotta ?? But it's my least favorite of the 4 modern GTA titles. And probably for the same reason. The landscape was a bit smallish and almost entirely flat. Yeah, i know Florida is flat, but thats why so many old people live there. No surprises. ;) Without looking online for a guide, i'm guessing that i've got around 15 or so main missions to go before the end. I've been stretching out the inevitable by piddling around, but i'm running out of meat n' potatoes stuff to do other than chase down 190 birds and 15 stunt jumps. I don't bother with 100% until the 2'nd playthrough. Some of the side activity has been transfered to GTA4 by simply wandering around the city and checking out everything. Lots of cool pocket parks, peds, and other details everywhere. The simple joy of picking up a discarded paper cup off the ground and throwing it at a cop to get that 1'st star rolling. And like something from a Stephen King book, i've been fixated on that evil swingset the past few sessions. I've managed 1700ft so far, on the street in front of Brucie's hideout. It seems to launch the Blista easiest, but i've been using a bigger car to knock down the park benches down faster so i can get the rear bumper lined up with that swingset pole better. My goal is a little more west into the water. > And like something from a Stephen King book, i've been fixated on that evil > swingset the past few sessions.

You may have to bump it a few times to piss it off before it'll do anything. Once it starts moving and kicking up debris, it's ready to go. The swing on the north side (on the right if you're facing west) is less likely to send you into the nearby apartment building, though it's unpredictable and hard to control regardless. If you can avoid hitting the apartment building you could fly as far as the park or even farther. In single player you have to back your car into it or Niko will get thrown through the windshield almost every time, which can be entertaining though not necessarily what you want to happen. More than once Niko wound up in the ocean six blocks away, but usually he just went splat against some nearby building. In multi you apparently can't be thrown from your car so you can go nose-in if you want. If you play with this long enough you'll get the "Rolled Over" achievement. I did this with an ice cream van, and it came as a complete surprise. If you park a car inside the swing (between the posts) it might get kicked a few feet but it might also get bashed and twisted into shapes you wouldn't think possible in a videogame. One car I messed with was so badly beaten up its wheels couldn't turn anymore because the fenders were pressing against them. Another car I used came out looking like a banana! Finally, watch out for the peds. They get angry when you drive up into the playground and might pull you out of the car. Keep your trusty bat handy and hope the cops don't catch you giving them a beatdown. Anyway, that's pretty much all I know of the Swingset of Doom (also known as the Car Cannon.)

I got it to work twice in a car but the reactions were so slow I thought i'd failed. The second one my car sort of fell on its side and I was just getting Nico to climb out when the chuffing car went berserk, spinning and twisting and flying and Nico was kind of half out until finally he fell to the ground and the car slapped on top of him. I could hear this noise so walked back over to the swing and he got slapped right out of there. So I walks him back to this smoking twisted wreck and drove it away :O)) SignaturePaul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ >> >> Thanks Bob, I know the place so I'll fire her up later and go >> >> slingshotting cars :O) [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > got slapped right out of there.

True, but this is the first time they've had the ability to patch things after the sale of the game, which they've already done at least once. There are a few bugs I wish they'd fix (like invisible people at that cafe on the second island) but they might also take it in their heads to fix other stuff that I'd like to see kept as well, like the car cannon. Bethesda put out patches for Oblivion after release, in the process killing a few bugs that might have been fun (I came along after they were done with releasing patches, so I never got to try them.) There's just no telling what the developers will decide to do... -- Bob > > :O) I think if it crashed the game they would do but otherwise I > > don;t see any reason. remember the fun you could have using towed [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > -- Bob true.
