barely anybody gets away from the police in real life. doesnt matter how long it takes police ALWAYS find the suspect.

Who wants to get away? I wanna shoot it out! And for the police in game to react more realistically, as in if I've shot down a helicopter I don't expect them to respond to that by sending TWO helicopters!

You've been watching too much CSI my friend.

Try "The First 48" instead, that's a more realistic portrayal of the Justice System at work in America...

Yea, not really.

For some reason when I try to do the 'current crimes' missions time runs out so fast, I don't even have time to get there before it says I failed to neutralize the targets, and I'm a pretty good driver.

Yea, you gotta be on your shit to get there in time. Try taking routes with a lot of space and the least amount of turns.

My advice...Drive like a MOTHERFUDGER

I loved how fucking dumb the cops in IV were. I could just run through the subway for about 5 minutes and escape a 6 star wanted level. But one suggestion, there should be more variation between crimes. If I murder an innocent civilian, I should get more stars than for hitting a police car.

If you committed a murder in IV with no witnesses, you'd just get a one-star for shots fired. If there were witnesses, two stars after some time. If an officer witnessed your crime, an instant two star wanted level.

Especially with heists being such a prominent feature, I wonder how witnesses will affect our gameplay this time around?

I'm pretty sure that with smarter AI, witnesses will play a larger role. If you kill someone in the middle of nowhere with no witnesses, I would assume that you get no stars but if you kill someone in front of others, you could probably attempt to kill the witnesses before they dial 911, somewhat like you could in RDR. But in carrying out a heist or robbery, it's basically inevitable that you get the cops called on you and you get like 3 stars.

they said that witnesses could try and stop you themselves sometimes, that could be interesting to have to deal with

Not sure how I feel about that. I'm not about to gun down some little old lady that bum-rushes me, I'll tell you that.

well, for me anyways, morals don't apply in the GTA world. and two, if there is any bit of realism to this game a "little old lady" will not "bum-rush" anyone

Why not? If there's any bit of wisdom in her AI, she'd realize she has nothing to lose.

well then that's all the more reason to shoot the bitch (in the head obviously, we would want it to end quickly)

I would like it real world realistic like K9's and more smart better cops way more force but not to the point to where you will get shot for resisting arrest.

I would like to see a bank truck maybe getting a police escort through the city at random times during gameplay , it would be a fun way to try and earn cash by planning a robbery but at a high risk maybe with a full car of officers , and also i'd like to see random police chases on foot and in cars so it doesnt feel like im the only criminal in the city

If the cops don't start shooting at you right after you punched the guy they were just chasing , I'd say R* has made a big step forward

What about if when they catch you, like iv you can run away or press a certain button and bribe them off for anything but its a chance they'll either hesitate and say ok or smack you and cuff your ass and have to pay more when you get out, I'd love that option

what if there are a lot of cops around you, do you pay all of them?

I just potentially robbed a bank, I have no choice. I should have been more clear, if the cops are going to shoot you down for punching an old lady or taking you to jail is rather "shake" his hand and be on my way.

Or you could be able to shake his "hand" whichever quotation you like better

*id rather
