Chris Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I was thinking to myself about the sheer enormity of San Andreas today. When it struck me. What if Rockstar have overdone it, what if all this extra stuff messes up the gameplay. See I was thinking about some of the 'less-needed' features that have been added which might actually be a bit of a nuisance. Like Eating: I think this a great idea and it has never been achieved in a game before, it seems incomprehensible to eat to stay a live in a game. But I am concerned that could this become too much of an annoyance as opposed to a cool feature, will it disrupt gameplay and prevent us from doing what we want. The Countryside: Countryside would have been a great addition to both GTA3 and VC, but does San Andreas have too much, couldn't they have done something else with all the extra space, a lot of people are going to get lost out there. Now I'm sure that Rockstar will pull this off, they are an outstanding company and Grand Theft Auto has a genre all of its own, it's just a couple of little concerns I have. I'm sure you guys have concerns about certain aspects of the game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 I read somewhere that you have to eat once every 3 days otherwise you start to get skinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I read somewhere that you have to eat once every 3 days otherwise you start to get skinny That's better than every 3 hours. Imagine yourself flying, and you forget to eat. But what happens if you have played for 2 hours, in the game, and you save? If you load the 3rd day, do you just die then?

Chris Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 yeah see thats what i mean, stuff like that which would make it really complicated, anyway i'm sure Rockstar will have thought of all this at got around it somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine008 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 About the eating thing. I really don't think you have to eat. But if you dont your charcter will be all skinny and weak. You'll wont die. That's how i think it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no! The countryside is the greatest ever idea for a GTA game EVER!! When the first ever GTA game came out I was dreaming of a 3D version based on the whole world. Well were not there yet but by god this is a great step. Imagine your driving through the wilderness and come across a little town and think "I need a bite to eat". So you stop off at the little burger bar/ranch and grab a quick bite before heading off up Mt. Chiliad for a spot of sight seeing aaaaah......

games-master Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) yeah rockstar have done a lot and i believe it be the last gta game a lot of people are going to get lost out there. I don't think people will get lost because you've got a phone and you can get taxis to places in gtasa Edited September 27, 2004 by games-master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been sayin this snce i herd about these features Oh sorry, i don't remember seeing a topic like this, anyway it seems to have caused a good discussion so never mind a lot of people are going to get lost out there.I don't think people will get lost because you've got a phone and you can get taxis to places in gtasa oh and i forgot we have that phone for when we get lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartboy4 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hey can we be passengers and board buses or taxis ? That would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illitrate23 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 3 days? is that 3 of our days? or 3 gta days? cos, if the clock runs the same as it does in vc then one day passes in about half an hour (it's pretty much one minute game time equals one second of real time isn't it?) so eating every 3 days means it's actually every 3 hours of play time. but of course, no game time will pass between saving a game and when you load it again. it does mean that i won't be able to start playing the game, then just leave the guy sitting there in a car with the radio playing for hours while i make food or mess with the computer or whatever.

Chris Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 thinking about what you just said, it must be 3 real life days, which means eating once every 30 game days which sounds a lot better. I cant imagine having to make CJ eat once every 3 hours of gameplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartboy4 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Look it's every 3 hours of realtime gameplay, not 3mins, so it's pretty reasonable. You can't live by eating every 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@NDY Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 the siz and all the costumization may be pushing the PS2 to its limits, like driver2 did to the Playstation. which now brings me to the PS3, the PS3 will proberbly take anything it erm "reads" and produce ultra fine graphics every time. So I think rockstar is only warming up, which means more great game for the future!!! GTA forever!!! PS3 will rule like PS2 did!!! Playstation forever!!!

Corporate_Nothing Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I'm fine with the countryside, i think it will prove to be a really awesome idea, but the eating/weight/stamina system is going sounds a bit farfetched. I hope all of these stats won't be so systematic and eating and stuff and will feel natural. Not just work out for a minute and *ding* u are suddenly buffer.

chris82 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Everyone always wants to make their guy fat. Hmmm... First thing I'm doing when I get it is going to the Cluckin' Bell or Burger Shot, ordering too much food, throwing up on the cashier, him trying to throw me out of the store, me breaking his arm off.
