  1. Really, how about all the online posted spams not posted by me? Chris has to manage all that as I do at GTAC, I think GTAChronicles does alright with just my own postings, no one's complained at all about being Off Topic and misplaced under their headings. I'm happy things run that way, it's smooth sailing, and ultimately headache free

     

    Prime example in that I didn't mention spamming nor claim you as being responsible for it.

  2. Most of those have already been released, but as for the *actual* new ones... another freaking pistol and assault rifle? The trench knife and HK21 MG are cool, but there are more pistols and assault rifles in the game than any other weapon type.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I like getting all the free DLC, but it would be nice if we got some new sniper rifles, shotguns, rocket launchers, and thrown weapons.

  3. I used selling one's soul as a nice turn of phrase considering the subject,

     

    Yeah, well, it's a wholly overexaggerated turn of phrase.

     

     

    but I keep thinking about this, the joy and most fun I find with GTA is not based on how vulgar or violent it can be, and it's something to give serious thought to, they can avoid all this and have with the first GTAs in the franchise series,

     

    You're free to enjoy GTA for whatever reasons you choose, but so is everyone else. And one of the main reasons I enjoy it is because it gives society the parodying and mockery that it needs. And the values of religious institutions are something that need a deep looking into.

     

     

    it just seems to me that Rockstar are playing these aspects up because of all the heat that came down, but even if Sam Houser was for Hot Coffee, and he was for a time (read that book JACKED, ppl), the backlash was not a pleasant experience for the company

     

    The whole point of doing things that haven't been done is to see what works and what doesn't. It's called innovation. Hot Coffee was just one of those things that didn't work (mostly because society is so prudish), but yet its impact is felt to this day in games like Heavy Rain that are far more open about sex. If everyone played it safe like you instead of innovating, we'd still be living in caves and wearing loincloths.

     

    And I don't care about that book. Personally, I'm eagerly awaiting The Bloody Crown of Conan which I ordered off Amazon a week ago, but that's irrelevant to the topic of discussion, which is you trying to force your opinions and values on others.

     

     

    they basically felt originally that the games could go head to head with what content you'd find in R rated cinema,

     

    Point to anything in GTA V that surpasses a movie industry R rating. Violence? Profanity? Nope. Strippers? Nope. Drug use? Nope. Nudity and sex? I've seen plenty of R-rated movies with nudity and sex in them.

     

     

    but there's a limit that just should NOT be crossed, it's useless to even make attempts to do so, it's not VALUE content, plain and simple

     

    Correction, it's what you consider to be value content. And, frankly, neither I nor anyone else are obligated to conform to that opinion (and yes, it is an opinion). Anytime a line is drawn in front of me, I'm going to step over it and slap the taste out of whoever drew said line. If you don't see GTA as having "value content" anymore, just stop playing the game. I got sick of Resident Evil being nothing more than a CoD clone, but instead of continuing to pump my money into it only to lament about it like a hypocrite, I just stopped playing it.

  4. As much as I might want there to be, there's no Bigfoot in the vanilla game. It's been modded to hell and back and no one has found anything in the game files.

     

    Don't get me wrong, if you enjoy myth hunting and it adds replayability to the game for you, more power to you. After all, the journey to your destination is part of the trip. :) But I'm just saying, there's no Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Leatherface, or any of these other things in the game because they would have been documented by now. All the "proof" you see is derived from modded games.

  5. Why do you keep going back there when clearly the people who run the place have it out for you? Honestly not meaning to be insulting here, but you're acting like the obsessed ex-girlfriend and GTAF is the guy that you just can't accept wants nothing to do with you. You remember Margot from TBoGT? Well, you're her and GTAF is Luis.

  6. Yeah, a new Hydra is another one that was in the beta build at one point. Thanks for bringing it up and reminding me. There was also going to be an SUT version of the Patriot as well.

     

    Agree on the Cavalcade FXT and Blista Compact. The latter I consider to be one of GTA's signature vehicles because it's been in every GTA game except the 2D games and GTA III, and the latter's absence doesn't really make sense. Also the GTA IV Bobcat and Contender.

     

    Not a vehicle per say, but I'd love for lift kits to be added to car customization so I can raise a vehicle's suspension up like this if I want in addition to lowering it. I'd imagine lowrider fans would love hydraulics to be back in as well.

  7. A Combat MG, RPG, sticky bombs, and body armor can be found in the Alamo Sea amidst the wreckage of the Marryweather cargo plane following the completion of the Franklin mission "Minor Turbulence". Here's a screenshot showing the exact location of the wreckage. You'll probably need a submarine and/or scuba gear to get to it, though.

  8. Just media fear mongering, as usual. I've said this before (probably on this very site) and I'll say it again: the media and society always seek to blame everything "corrupting" the youth of the time on something or someone else instead of bad parenting or mental illness. First it was movies (Rebel Without a Cause, for example), then comics, then it was music. Today it's video games. And tomorrow it'll probably be something else. I'm 30 now (will be 31 this year) and I've watched violent movies like Predator and Commando since as long as I can remember, I went through the phase when I liked gangster rap and all that, I've played violent video games like GTA ever since I was ~14, loved firearms since around the same age, and yet the worst I've done is gotten a couple of red light tickets (first one was a technicality, second one I admit my attention was diverted and I zoned out which, yes, was incredibly irresponsible). I've never done drugs, never smoked or drank, never killed anyone, I don't yell out racial slurs, or any of the crap that all these things supposedly cause. The reason being that my parents were actually involved in my life instead of plopping me down in front of the TV and forgetting about me.

     

    People have this idea that the world was "right" when they were young and that the new generation has strayed, but they refuse to acknowledge that their world was viewed the exact same way by the generation before them. It'll always be like that.

  9. I'd certainly like the Dukes in the game. Also the Rhapsody, Slamvan, and at least a couple more of the street bikes from TLAD. With The Lost playing a fairly important role in the game, I'd have expected more than just the Hexer to appear.

     

    "Off road" versions of more vehicles, like the Patriot, Bobcat, and Cavalcade.

     

    Hunter attack helicopter! A clearly HD-updated version was used in the trailer for the in-game movie, The Simian, so I see no reason it couldn't be made a controllable vehicle.

     

    I'd also love it if the Blimp, Khamelion, CarbonRS, and Hotknife were made available to those who didn't preorder. I got the Special Edition, so I have the blimp, but I couldn't afford the Collector's Edition and the Hotknife was one of my favorite vehicles in GTA: San Andreas. :(

     

    The Skimmer as well. It was seen in at least one pre-release screenshot, so it was in the game at some point.

     

    All I can think of for now.

  10. Argh! I want the M110A1 semi-auto sniper rifle that was cut from the game, not yet another assault rifle! With the exception of pistols, we have more assault rifles in the game than any other weapon type.

     

    Cars look cool, though. Especially the Zentorno, which I'm assuming is the red one due to its Lamborghini styling. Wish they'd give us a few gimmick cars, like maybe one themed around Impotent Rage or Brown Streak.

  11. I've been off RDR MP mostly due to getting all the way level upped, and many friends in Online left it appears. It was fun seeing them all the time, day after day, joining familiar posses, as it stands, and some of the fun we had showed up on YouTube. Anyway, I still plan to go back, regardless of how bad or boring it might be deemed, after all, if you want true MP poker, only recourse is still Red Dead Red

     

    No, certainly, if you enjoy it, then by all means keep playing. After all, that's what games and movies are for, to enjoy over and over again. I'm just saying, the developers stopped supporting it long time ago, when your initial post gave the impression you were expecting them to patch it again.
