I don't remember Wade from San An off the bat, but I do recall as you unlock San Fierro and pick up guys for your garage there, along with the Truth, you're referring to that mission moment?
There was no Wade in GTA: SA, we've already established that Sherman was confusing him with Dwaine.

You've gotta consider what Johnny went through in TLAD. Billy and Brian were his brothers. He brokered a truce with the Angels of Death only for Billy to basically shit on the effort. Then Billy set him up to be killed by the Triads only for it to backfire and get himself arrested, which Brian blamed Johnny for and constantly accused him of being a rat. This, in turn, turned half of the Alderney/LC Lost---again, Johnny's brothers--against him and triggered a civil war that all but destroyed the chapter, something Johnny had put his very heart and soul into and would have willingly died to protect. Then, to add insult to injury, Billy turns states and Johnny is forced to kill both him and Brian. At this point, the chapter was basically destroyed, leaving Johnny and the remaining brothers truly lost. Everything they'd believed in was gone. All it took to finally bring Johnny down was getting back with Ashley. And here we find ourselves five years later, staring down at the corpse of the shell that was once Johnny Klebitz,
One may think it's "out of character", but it's a classic downward spiral that turns a great man into a mere shadow. I've seen it happen myself in real life. There comes a point where you just break, no matter how strong or determined you are. And Johnny broke. That's all there is to say about it.

but still don't see how being able to buy assault rifles used to equip your army off the shelf is a bad idea.So this question is aimed at the Americans on this forum, what do you guys think the likelihood of Obama successfully passing law to reduce the amount of ammunition you can buy and prohibiting the sale of assault rifles?
You apparently haven't a clue what you're talking about and seem to be letting GTA influence your knowledge on firearms ownership in the real world. Assault rifles and machine guns are already heavily restricted among civilians and you pretty much have to be a police officer, federal agent, or military to get one. It's been this way since 1936. An assault rifle is clearly defined as an intermediate caliber long arm capable of selectable semiautomatic or fully automatic fire via a selector switch. AR-15s like the Bushmaster used by what's-his-name are semiautomatic only and therefor not assault rifles. This is why gun control advocates pass around the term "assault weapon"; they can define it however they please. If I crack you over the head with a chair leg, it was used as a weapon to assault you and is therefor an "assault weapon". Does that mean chair legs should be outlawed?
Reducing the amount of ammunition one buys is also as retarded as outlawing cosmetic features such as collapsible stocks, pistol grips, and vertical foregrips. What next, combat stabbings by reducing the amount of kitchen knives you can own? Combat drunk driving by reducing the amount of cars you can own? Combat drowning by reducing the amount of liquid you can consume or length of time you're allowed to swim/bathe?
-
When you lost your tires in Vice City, your car swerved ALL over the place, in GTA V I've been able to maintain control in a straight line when one or more wheels starts to go.
But try making quick turns and see what happens.
Another MIA is having multiple safehouses in SP or online (aside from each character's separategarage in SP). It would be nice to have a couple extra places to stash usable vehicles.
Yeah, I really expected this feature to return with how big they touted the map as being.
-
They're gonna charge us for any DLC regardless of whether you consider it worthwhile or not, but this is irrelevant to the fact.
No, not fact. What was GTAO but DLC? And it was free, gifted to everyone who purchased the game.
GTA Online is not DLC. They don't even consider it part of GTA V to begin with.

Ban each one by name, email address, and most importantly IP address. That should keep them away longer. Not necessarily permanently, but longer. I'd offer my help as I've quite a lot of experience as both a moderator and administrator, but right now my table is full with positions on multiple forums.
As far as running out of email accounts, no, one can make any amount of them they want with any host. Me personally, I use a plugin that randomly generates dummy accounts that link to my primary account whenever I'm commenting anonymously on most blogs, registering at some forums, and whatnot. Now obviously I don't use this to nefarious ends, but I could easily see spammers using the same plugin for such nefarious ends.
-
What software did you build it on? Some hosts have better spam filters than others. I use Jcink for my site and I rarely have to worry about such things because the filter automatically blocks them all and doesn't allow them to register.

I think the purpose was to shock in a way, I think Rockstar still like pushing the envelope for whatever the reason, but as I mentioned my sensitivity as far as adult content pushing on gratuitous, the nudity for titillation sake in the strip clubs, now I know we're going for authentic as the series matures, and I believe the Housers are trying to pair video gaming right up against R rated cinema, but at times it feels like Soft Core gaming with the hookers, but less is shown there, it just seems excessive at times, when you know there's a wide swath of age gamers who are still playing these Mature titles, I don't think they're ready yet, my opinion! haha
As far as what bothers me most, it was having the You Play the Torturer with Trevor, I can see how it offers a new gameplay advantage with trading off characters and locations with GTA V, but again, there's nothing remotely amusing or entertaining about torture, so I would have left that out of the game and found a better way to do something similar. It tends to make one squirm while playing! haha
I know some people are already desensitized and they might think removing such things would dampen the GTA gaming experience, I'd say they don't see the forest for the trees in such case.
GTA began with little depiction and the controversy was a marketing ploy, evidenced in detail with the book Jacked I read earlier in the year.
There's also the factoid that DMA were partly involved before the Housers had full reign of the development
If you're having so big an issue with the content in the game, you always have the option to just stop playing it. Meth heads get their brains bashed in, strip clubs have naked women in them, people get tortured, yada yada yada. All this stuff happens in the real world as well. Get over it. Freedom of expression covers video games just as much as it covers any other medium, whether that be movies, books, music, or whatever. They shouldn't be water down because some douche who fancies himself the world's public decency guardian doesn't like them. Jacky boy and all his like-minded friends can take a long walk off a short platform, if they think they have any right to decide what's appropriate for me.

I certainly think it's time for GTA to have a female protagonist. Some have claimed she'd have to be a bodybuilder or something to work, but that's not true. Plenty of female protagonists are small and "weak-looking", but still succeed in their games. Look at Jill Valentine in the Resident Evil series, for example. She's only 5'5" and probably no more than 110 lbs, but anyone who has played an RE game including her in recent years knows she's certainly not weak and quite at home in a fight. I could easily see a "dark side" version of her fitting in quite well in the GTA world.
-
it's like killing Niko or Roman in the next installment?!?!?!
If Roman asks me to go bowling one more time, I'm going to myself myself!
SPOILER WARNING FOR REST OF POST!
But seriously, though, I don't mind game or movie characters I like being killed off as long as it serves a big enough purpose and is a "good" death (what constitutes a "good" or "bad" depends on a character's personality). This is how I viewed Johnny's death in GTA V. He had gotten back with Ashley and she got him on the dope, which messed him up bad. He was a shadow of the man we met in TLAD and his death I view as not only merciful to him for what he's become but it also conveyed how violent and dangerous Trevor is, therefor fitting with the story being told.
Huang Lee's death in GTA V, on the other hand, was a footnote in the game that nobody probably even noticed the first time around...

I really don't think GTA 6 is even on Rockstar's mind yet. Firstly, they've got GTA Online to get working right and adding content/areas/missions/etc. to it. Then there's almost certainly going to be at least one large DLC "episode" of some kind plus however many small DLCs (e.g., Beach Bum Pack) they're planning. If anything, I'd bet the next game we see from them will be that sequel to Red Dead Redemption that people are clamoring for. I'd prefer GTA not become a one-after-the-other franchise like so many titles these days.
If they were going to add any new areas to GTA V, I'd prefer it be an accessible Ludendorff, North Yankton, rather than "been there, done that" Liberty City. I like LC and all, but I kind of got my fill of it for now in GTA IV and its Episodes.
-
I just don't see it fitting in very with the events of GTA V, that's all. There was only one mention of the AoD anywhere in it that I've heard and that was a Lost member saying basically that they're defunct.
-
Actually, Trevor owns most of Blaine County and the meth business there. Did you forget he pretty much wiped out the Lost pretty early on?
-
I was actually thinking earlier today how a thread like this would be useful.
The FIB vehicles seem to spawn randomly. Sometimes there will be a Buffalo and a Granger while other times there will be two Buffalos or two Grangers.
-
There hasn't been high nor hair of a single AoD member in GTA V. The only bikers I've ever seen are Lost.
-
Seriously? San Andreas....chapter one...aka Playstation 2, Xbox 1, PC
So have Liberty City and Los Santos in that regard. I don't see how that prevents Rockstar from revisiting Las Venturas one day if they wish. Personally, LV was my favorite city in GTA: SA and my second favorite area after Bone County. I'd love to see it given the treatment that GTA IV and V have done with LC and LS.
-
Las Venturra's already been done
Say what? "Been done" how?
-
Are the new clothing, hair styles, and tattoo options available in SP, too? I checked Ponsonbys earlier and didn't find anything new, but didn't have time to check anyplace else.
-
I call BS.
-
If I were running Rockstar Games' projects, for sure I think I'd try and celebrate 15 or 20 years since GTA III with a revision of that game completely using the modern gaming tools available, it's so hard to enjoy because of it's antiquated tech and design, programming, etc. I think most die hard fans and even new, young GTA fans would revisit GTA III with a complete revamped graphics, AI, and control backbone
Wow lol. I still play GTA III, VC, and SA happily.
As do I. Hell, there are games on Atari and NES I'd still play if I had working consoles. I still have yet to beat the E.T. game... XD
-
Actually, he did have a girlfriend, but she dumped him for a doctor before the events of the game.
F**king bitches, man.

Do you have the number in your phone to call the blimp?
It's only there if you preordered.

I must confess, I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about at this point. We've gone from you wanting GTA to be PC in its take on religion, to a group of 10-year-olds whose parents don't pay attention to what games they're playing and would likely cry about society corrupting their kids if they did find out.
Just my opinion as a player, but I would suspect the great many people who work on making this game and marketing it, they don't all share a feeling of what is right for the series is anything that would be objectionable, or push the envelope for pushing's sake.
This is Grand Theft Auto we're talking about, being objectionable is the whole point.
I just think games or any entertainment that's shooting for a higher mark should avoid selling their souls
Parodying or criticizing religion =/= selling one's soul.
GTA V Online Cheats Guide
in GTA V
Posted · Edited by Spartan198
Considering TGTAP has an on-site list of cheats for GTA V, I don't think Chris has any major objections (at least from a non-personal standpoint) against them. And if Rockstar was opposed to them, they wouldn't put them in the game. If one wants "fair play", either find a like-minded group of people to play the game privately with or go out and play baseball, basketball, etc., where the God Mode cheat won't work. Crazy cheats used to be one of the most entertaining aspects of GTA, after all.
