  1. I hope they bring back some of the melee weapons from past GTA's. Vice City had quite a few, the hammer, baseball bat, knife, meat cleaver, machete, katana, screwdriver, golf club, police baton, chainsaw. There was also that DIY shop dedicated to melee weapons.

    Looks like several of these are returning, including the golf club, baton, baseball bat and hopefully some of the others.

    Also, do you guys reckon it would be cool to customize the baseball bat (or any other melee weapon for that matter). There could be default designs made by R*, as well as the ability to make designs ourselves.


  2. Keeping your weapons in IV is easy; don't get busted. Go to the hospital, keep your weapons. Go to jail, you deserve to lose them.

    Several times I've been sat in 'my' car at the traffic lights abiding the laws of the road like a good person, with a wanted level that I hadn't even realised I had, when a scumbag pig drags me out to the floor. It's not like I'm gonna break the traffic laws to stop them arresting me.

    Earlier today I was running around Vice City and had 1 star, so I went to take a bike to escape, but by the time I was on it the popo officer was already stood in front of me. He violently smacked me off of 'my' bike and took me down to the popo station. :(


  3. Perhaps when you go to prison they could have a short and simple clip of you sat in prison, reviewing the crime(s) you've committed, just like in RDR. When you got out of prison in GTA IV it was annoying how you lost your weapons, I think for V they should just give back your weapons or at least allow you to buy them back (I know it's unrealistic but I don't give a fuck, deal with it).


  4. That's what I always wanted to do. Instead of drawing zig zags and random swirls and circles and it coming out as magical gang writing. This would be great for GTA V especially painting a Balla's face green.

    Go around Balla's turf spraying giant green dicks on their cars... :roll:

    ..... just me?

    :whistle:

  5. Wasn't Grove Street just a set of a larger gang? So Franklin and his homiez might just be in another set.

    There was the Seville Boulevard gang who were part of the 'green' larger gang

    Also, do you think that the spray can will return with the ability to gas people, and to casually spray on walls (not just over rival gang graffiti) ??? ...and make a huge green fucking mess!

    Perhaps we could have several different colours of paint, if there's more than one enemy gang we could fuck up the territory and properties of both, with paint of the other gang (eg. ballas colours on vagos property (if those two gangs are in the game)) and cause them to fight each other.


  6. Whilst property is out of the question, why not business? Since changing where the protagonists live is out of the option, nothing relating to their live style is out of question. Maybe as Trevor you could buy a small corner drug store to expand your meth dealing. Or as Michael a clothing shop to provide another source of income and a cover for his criminal plans. Perhaps Franklin could buy a small garage downtown to store repo'd cars.

    If the goal of the game is the pursuit of the dollar, then business is not out of the question. It isn't property in a sense, but means of income and expansion of their professions. Such an example is the boat yard you could purchase in Vice City. It really wasn't as much a property as a service. It was great having fast boats at the ready was it not.

    Whatever the things you can spend your money on,I hope they add things that you spend your free roam time saving up for so you can earn more money to get the next tier of "I Want That".

    I agree, having businesses would be good, especially since there will be more to spend money on in the game. There were businesses in Vice City Stories, I remember having to drive across the island every 5 seconds to stop one of my businesses being destroyed by rivals, which was really annoying. Hopefully that wont happen if they are in V.


  7. I hated that mountain bike race down Mt. Chiliad, it was impossible to control, especially around the many corners with the dumb-ass NPC's suicide cycling you over the edge. Riding up was a bit better, usually I just cycled up the vertical rocks to get to the top quicker so I could drive the hippy van off the ramp :D.

    I thought the trails in the woods were good though, hopefully we'll see more like that since the map will be much bigger.

    I quite liked the BMX challenge at that skatepark in Los Santos as well, just casually bunny hopping 10ft over a fence into a red ring.


  8. I would like to buy:

    - Weapons, with more variety than there was in GTA IV. Hopefully a choice of modifications, nothing too extreme just some small performance upgrades and the choice to duel wield or change/upgrade the scope of a sniper rifle

    - Perhaps vehicles, though they would be destroyed/lost soon after I bought them (I know I'm careless) unless R* made them respawn in your garage which would be pretty cool

    - Clothes, but I hope that looking through and changing your clothes isn't slow as fuck like in the past GTA's, and I hope for a lot more variety than what was in IV

    - Fast food, for when you need to heal your gunshot wounds

    - Drugs, not for consumption but perhaps to sell, it could be interesting

    - Drinking

    - Pizza delivery. Would be good if you could order over the phone, then when it arrives you could take it without paying :whistle:

    - Buying phones, with a variety of shitty and good phones. Maybe we can go on the internet on them.

    - .....Hookers, before I beat them to death to get back my money

    Like some other people said, it would be cool if we could buy things on the internet, I remember you could buy ringtones and themes for your phone in IV but that was it. Would be cool to buy some guns on the internet and have a van deliver them to you.

  9. The random encounters we saw in RDR are coming back, and I'm sure in greater numbers and variety. I'd like to see some involving cops, like the good citizens bonus in VC, or the escaped prisoners in RDR.

    I liked the good citizens bonus in VC. I hated how whenever you tried to attack someone running from cops or in self-defense in IV, you were automatically targeted by the police.

    RDR's random encounters were good, I hope they return, perhaps in quieter areas of the city in the alleyways and stuff and in the more rural areas of the game. I remember how there were the gang hideouts, in one of them you had to help a sheriff fight off a gang and you were trusted to return the safe to the bank, it would have been better if it was more interactive and you could rob the safe.

    EDIT: Also with the random encounters in RDR you could sometimes choose to side with the crooks or the law, perhaps there will be similar situations like this in V.

    I believe you could rob the safe in the bank of Armadillo, was ages ago since I did it so I don't remember the details. But Youtube it... It's not that exciting, you just literally walk in and crack the safe and leave.

    I liked the random encounter about the cannibal in RDR who broke that guys leg. It's gruesome stuff like that that would be awesome to see in the game.

    Yes you could rob the safe, there was always someone who witnessed it though :/

    That cannibal guy was weird, I decided to shoot him. But you're right, unique gruesome things like that do make the game more interesting.
