  1. GTAV needs to find a way to let you defend yourself from the cheap ass Cop boats when you're stranded in the damn ocean (swimming, not in a boat), 1 mile from any sort of land. Either let us use weapons while swimming, or dive under the water for protection.

    I doubt we'll be safe if we can dive underwater. In SA, you could still be shot no matter how far you went down. But if we're dealing with reality, let's check in with the Mythbusters.


  2. This is just an idea and I know this would probably not happen but oh well (all place names made up :P)...

    It starts off with a few cut scenes of Tommy Vercetti after the Vice City story line ends. He gets married, has a kid (let's call him Luke) and in 2005 (random year) Vercetti, his wife (let's call her Jennifer) and their two younger kids decide to retire in Los Santos. After his parents move, Ned struggles to make money for him and his girlfriend (let's call her Olivia), and when he resorts to drug dealings. When Olivia becomes pregnant (both aged 21), he decides to re-unite with his parents in Los Santos. Scenes show the couple taking off from Vice City in a small jet and landing in Vermont Airport in the desert. You are then required to drive from the airport to the interstate via a few small desert roads and after a long drive, you reach Los Santos and your new house near Ganton where you aree greeted by Tommy and Jennifer. While Jennifer and Olivia get used to their new home, you and Tommy go out to the Pleaure Peir while you discuss the new job your Dad has gotten you, (a handy man for rapper OG Loc, which will bring mission including CJ from San Andreas). When you get back, you discover that your house has been broken into and Jennifer and Olivia both kidnapped.

    A lot of the story line revolves around finding the pair and at the end, getting revenge on who took them.

    No thank you.

    The one element of the story R* has released to us, is that the story focuses on making money.

    Also, Tommy and CJ are dead. CJ shoved his cock so deep into Tommy that they got stuck that way and died.

  3. I loved TLAD and TBOGT, but I must say TLAD is my least favorite installment in all of GTA history. Sure, I played it through three times but the ending couldn't be more depressing even if you threw a box of puppies into your burning clubhouse. And that was the weakest prison riot I've ever been in (I've been in 33, instigating 5).

    As for DLC predictions in GTA V, I have more of a request. I want a free DLC released on April Fools Day, where your character wakes up, puts on some shitty work uniform, gets in their crappy car, drives through hellish LA traffic (or mounts the sidewalk, it's your call), only to get to work and be run over by GTA V's main protagonist. As the screen fades to black and bold white letters state "GAME OVER," I would begin howling with laughter, imagining all the kids out there that broke their TV's when they threw their controllers in a fit of rage. Now that would be an April Fool's prank.


  4. Were the La Brea tar pits in LA Noire? There are mammoth skeletons and I think a few fiberglass models of mammoths at the museum there, so it's not too much of a stretch.

    It'd be a hell of a place to dump a body.

    Naw, no tar pits in LA Noire.

    But you're right. It's a great place to dump a body... after you take care of the security guards... and the tourists... and the locals on their lunch breaks...

    I've put a lot of bodies in there...


  5. It'll never happen, but I want to have the option of training dogs. Every time I'd sick my pack of well trained hounds on someone I could shout at the TV, "Chopper! Sick balls!" (watch Stand By Me and you'll understand)

    Seriously though, for my first play through, I want GTA San Andreas style options for customization. Muscles/fat. If you don't run around much, you lack stamina and maximum health level. A large wardrobe to choose from. Tattoos and haircuts. Ect.

    BUT, every time I play a GTA for it's 2nd+ time, I care less and less about customization, because that's never really been what the GTA series is about. As others have pointed out, that's why we have Saints Row 1-3, Fallout 3 & NV, and the Elder Scrolls series.

    Lastly, GTA 3 had me immersed more than any other, for the simple reason that Claude (our protagonist) never spoke. Because of that, he never spoke FOR ME. Also, with the complete lack of customization, I never found myself thinking, "Would I wear this outfit if I was actually going out to kill a prostitute?"


  6. Hey iGTA5.com. I've been thumbing through yer posts far to long too not join the conversation.

    Due to renewed curiosity and lack of a properly working game system, I've been replaying GTA SA. I wanted to measure to map in game, so I decided to fly along the entire coast line of San Andreas in a Rustler (the one that looks like a WWII Spitfire). It took just short of 8 minutes.

    I bring this up because San Andreas had 10 different types of plane, ranging from stunt planes and passenger planes, to the beloved military Hydra, in a world with three major airports, an aircraft carrier, your own personal landing strip, and a lonely landing strip for a crop duster.

    How does this compare to GTA5? The planes they have revealed so far are a cropduster, a military fighter jet, and a private passenger plane. What types of airport or landing strips do these aircraft work practically with? We can count on an LAX, or LSX, being in Los Santos, and at least one airfield, away from LS, for private planes. Also we can look forward to a dirt runway a farm.

    All this makes me wonder, how many major airports will GTA5 have? Will there be a military airfield, or will the aircraft carrier docked in San Fierro make a cameo appearance? How much time will I spend flying the coast line in a stolen plane?

    I hope this adds more than it clutters.

    Also, I live in LA and have little to do. If local pictures are needed for further GTA investigation, I'd be happy to help.
