Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / July 2008GTA4: Forced scripting
Looking at a few of the other threads. I noticed in one mission, the scripting changes your weapon, which is rather annoying. It was for that Rastafarian guy. In the 2nd half of the mission, you can be carrying a gun better than a pistol, but the cut scene changes your weapon to a handgun. You can change it back, but it's a bit annoying. I had an assault rifle ready to carry out the rest of the mission. I don't remember any time in SA where there's "fixed" scripting for weapon settings like this. Cut scenes seem to be more dynamic, where if you are in a clown suit holding a bazooka, you're in a clown suit holding a bazooka for said cut scenes. C'mon Rockstar. You know us players are smarter than the average player, and sometimes we like to do missions in alternate methods other than the intended path. For "sayonara salvatore" in GTA 3, I had no luck with the sniper rifle, so I made a car roadblock at his mansion and tossed grenades over the wall & killed him that way. > Looking at a few of the other threads.

I am sure there were missions in SA where you lost good weapons if you had them. The one with Smoke on the bike is one, I often had a good machine gun only to have it replaced with the smallest which is then almost empty by the time he drops you off. The one where you do the target shooting also switches your pistol unless you change from pistol before you start shooting. There are others too, but I can't recall which.

Surely it's can't be that hard to account for the possibility that the player may have weapons and stocked up ammo he'd like to keep. In fact, that's why I don't bother building up an ammo stock early in the game anymore, because I know I'll probably lose it. I think the only reason this didn't happen in GTA3 was because there was only one type of weapon per slot. No choices or upgrades like the later games. -- Bob > >> Looking at a few of the other threads. I noticed in one mission, the > >> scripting changes your weapon, which is rather annoying.

Don't you get an Uzi in the truck chase with the Russians, too? And your M16 (if you've got one) is changed to an AK during that mission where the bike cop jumps on the car. Incidentally, has anyone noticed the GTA:SA Sprunk billboard after it has a big hole in it? How did they get away with that? http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images//a/a5/Sprunkboard-2.jpg > "bob from oz" wrote... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > billboard after it has a big hole in it?

Nowt worse than hearing someone say "That girl is full of spunk!"

Ho ho.

It takes someone with their mind in the gutter to notice some of the more subtle R* gags... > "Paul Heslop" wrote... > >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > someone with their mind in the gutter to notice some of the more subtle R* > gags... heh, I think the old mind has been dragged through the gutter a few times and wrung out again :O) SignaturePaul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |
