Manny and Brucie perfectly highlights that content disparity I was talking about in GTAIV a page back. You go from all this drama and crap in a story that tries so hard to be serious, to doing missions for cartoon characters who want to "clean up the streets" by doing random hits on drug dealers for seemingly no reason at all other than an ego trip. They feel straight out of GTA3's era, which is fine by itself, but they don't fit IV at all, which makes them annoying than comedic.Zedd posted:One thing I really missed in SA/4 was special gang-cars. I hope V brings back gangs, period.

Also It'd be neat if that gang system had allowed you to drain some of your mad stacks of cash by paying off gangs to join Grove Street instead of having to do tedious battles for 100 territories each.

When IV was announced to be more realistic, I was hoping you would get mugged in alleys and poo poo and that gangs would be more dynamic.

In GTA, it felt like a chore whenever you had to defend one of your territories, but in Saints Row 2 it wasn't nearly so bad.

There was a way to force it, probably unrelated to actual planning on rockstar's end but maybe it has to do with residue coding for a mapwide gangsystem. There is a bug/feature that if you keep flying outside of the map for many ingame days more and more new gang territories unlock all over the map. http://gta-sanan.ucoz.net/index/gang_territory_glitch/0-182

Well you guys made me start playing through GTA IV again yesterday, having a lot of fun so far. I found my old edited videos i thought id lost forever. Can anyone recommend a good program to add music to the videos without ruining the video quality?

Definitely the best in the game. But then again, when I get 4 stars, then there are cops chasing me that are crazy fast with great handling, weigh 10 tons, and are invulnerable to damage. Gotta SMG them fuckers in the face to get em off me.

So I picked up copies of SA and VC back in 2008, and never got around to really playing them. I think I got frustrated with the targeting in the first few missions of each and gave up for a while and just got sidetracked. I love RDR/GTA IV, and I am willing to look past a lot of jankiness if the core experience is good. These things in mind, do SA and VC hold up well enough to be worth investing tens of hours in these days? Honestly, I really regret not playing the GTA3 games on release, especially San Andreas, as I feel like all of those games were a heck of an experience when they came out, and now I worry that I'll play them and be all 'eh? well now we have...", and be disappointed, so I haven't tried getting back into them yet. [Judging what I just wrote, I may also be a crazy person.] DrankSinatra fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Oct 30, 2011 |

Just like how GTA4's driving takes a while to get used to; 3/VC/SA need a bit of time because of ages. But they are still oh so much worth it, so very much.

I was thinking for V having the playable characters set over various decades in the same city would be pretty interesting.

Been replaying San Andreas and have been playing it non stop for the past three days. So much fun and I plan on replaying Vice City and GTA3 after it.

The Esperanto looks pretty dull, but yeah, I'm one for fairly down-key cars. The Washington is my fav cruiser in GTA4.

I'm partial to the Faction. It doesn't look like much, but it's zippy and easy to handle at high speeds.

Asked before, but anyone know why SA is an utter crash-fest on steam? I'm trying to replay, but I crash out for no reason every time

Out of all the cars in every game, I gotta say the Clover from San Andreas was my favourite. Doesn't look like much, but when I first drove one of these I fell in love with it. I took it to a car modding shop, painted it Grove Green (Which gets rid of its poorly maintained look), gave it offroad tyres and other assorted goodies and then treated it like a princess until I could get it to a garage It burns out and hauls rear end beautifully, and if you turn hard enough you can make it swing its arse out in a majestic way. Then, when you bring it to a rest, the body sways on its springs because it's a big fat walrus with an engine too powerful for its own good. It's also the only car that has a shakey shakey exhaust. It somehow manages to be ghetto while being classy as gently caress. What more could you want? When I played GTA 4 I was absolutely gutted by the fact they removed car customisation from the game. I did all of Brucie's missions, got his friendship level maxed out, even did the lovely car collection side missions for Stevie all while hoping you could go and kit up some cars and... nothing. I think Rockstar's explanation for it was "Oh, it doesn't seem like something Niko would do". Oh, well I'm very loving sorry but I'm playing this game for my entertainment, not Niko's. If I think he should be driving around in a bright pink Dukes with a blower taking up all the space on his hood, then he's drat well going to have to live with it! At least SR2 gave me my car customisation fix. Sure, some people might think it's stupid or pointless given how expendable cars are in the GTA series, but it really makes you care about your vehicles and is also a really useful money sink. Open world games are about expressing yourself in the world they provide and something as relatively minor as being allowed to choose your own paint colours adds a lot to the game.

My favorite regular street level car in the series was the Kuruma. In GTA3 you can find a Kuruma regularly on every island. It's the go-to car if you're ever in need of a decent car with nice handling and alright speed. Shame it's only in GTA3 and LCS. I think the Blista replaced it as my favorite just ol' regular travelin' car in later entries.

I'm getting lock ups too when apparently going too fast in some missions. I'm strugging to beat Woozies first race and just as I finished beating Claude and Catalina the loving game locked up before I could drive to a save point.

Himuro posted:The game intro starts out with Niko finding the ship's captain being whipped (or whipping, I can't remember) in a sexually derogatory manner. This is so random and adds absolutely nothing to the intro. It's just there, it's some random vignette of juvenile humor. The entire game is like this. From a couple pages back, but the point of this was so the writers could open their new Grand Theft Auto game with "Daddy's back, you bitches!" It's not random, it's funny

Okay, three lock ups during that race in a row now has pretty much convinced me I can't get any further with SA .

I'd recommend avidemux: http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/ It's really easy to replace the audio and then just output it without re-encoding the video. If you want to edit the existing audio, you'll have to output that first and then edit it with some other program.

Am I the only person who just grabs the first car in sight, regardless of model, drives it until it explodes, then takes the next nearest car? I never understood the whole parking garages and car modding stuff -- if I actually put money into the car, I couldn't fly it off a bridge in a beeline for the next objective!

If it isn't a burned-out husk them I'm not done with it yet. Just Cause 2 was pretty great for playing like this, I don't think I ever used the brakes on any vehicle ever in that game.

Some types of cars I might prefer to grab to others if they're around, but yeah I tend to do this as well.

Well yeah, you gotta keep the good cars in your garage and never drive them! Did anyone else make it a goal to collect the cars with weird properties in GTA3? Most of them involved destroying a car during a mission/race and then pushing it back to your garage to un-destroy it and unlock the doors. http://www.gtawh.com/gta3.php?page=bpcars Of course, in Vice City there is that one mission where you can just go around a corner and grab Ken Rosenburg's invincible Manana (or whatever it was) after it was over.

Alright, if you all are going to be edgy and pick boring sedans and huge barges as the best cars, I'm going to be the predictable rear end in a top hat who says the Infernus is the best car in every GTA game since 3.

It's definitely the best in IV. It was way too slippery in San Andreas, though.

Put me down as a Comet fan. Sexy, fast, good at turning, doesn't flip often and you can hop right in it if the doors are closed. Just wish it was a four seater.
