1 pointGTA Car Modification Car modification should come back to GTA and it should be like no other car customization ever seen in a video game. Here's a draft for an extreme, over-the-top, and expansive idea I've created. Tell me what you think. Summary Cars should have an extensive modification system by being able to buy custom parts from multiple retailers for different types of vehicles. The custom parts could be rewards from missions as well. Also you should be able to take parts from vehicles you hi Jack or buy and put them in other vehicles. Such as dropping a banshee's engine in a dukes or the exhaust system of a comet and put it in a ballista. (A) Garage(s) should be able to be purchased at some point in the game where you can store up to 5 cars while you work on them. Rims, rim sizes, tires and the ride height should all be used as aspects of modification. Custom parts and chassis should be able to be created or purchased. Everything in a vehicle should be customizable including numerous interior options such as gps's, seats, steering wheels, sound systems, and gauges. After making your vehicles you should be able to sell them for a profit based on the quality, speed, uniqueness and sex appeal of a vehicle. The Garage When you park a vehicle in the garage you own, there should be no specific way to park it and when you leave it there it stays in the same place. To interact with the car to take parts from it or add to it, all you should have to do is walk up to the desired vehicle, press the interaction button listed and a menu of options will pop up. The menu would include engine, chassis, transmission, wheels and dimensions, body, paint shop, and interior. Select one of the headers and subsections would come up with the different sections of the selected header. for example you select engine, another list would come up with options to select different parts of the engine to mod or to take the whole engine out of the vehicle and place it on the shelf*. (the shelf is the place where all purchased or acquired parts will go to, to be selected an used at a later time in different vehicles) once done modding the selected, go back to the main options menu for the selected vehicle and you should have the choice to sell the vehicle, scrap it or leave it for future use. New garages should be able to be purchased or the garage should be upgradable with better furnishings, tools, stands, lifts and options for how to store un-used vehicles so you can fit more vehicles in the garage such as lifts. The car saving system in your garage will consist of saving five vehicles to one mod garage. If you lose, blow up, abandon, impound, bury, drown, crush, smash, or whatever else you manage to do to your car while running from the 5-0, you will be able to access your saved car from the garage menu and be able to retrieve it and/or repair the car for a price. The car saving option in your garage is directly linked to your online profile (details listed in online section) Parts Cars and parts should be able to be bought at stores, fabricated in the garage (such as the sunshine auto side missions in VC), received from missions, and/or purchased at junk yards where you can take a tow truck or pick-up and take vehicles for parts or just pick up parts for the cars you have. The vehicles that show up in the junk yard should be ones off the street that you have totalled by killing the driver in an "accident". There also should be a few unique vehicles you get either from missions or the junk yard that if you restore you get and achievement or trophy. These unique vehicles could give you a large cash sum if you sell them or special benefits if you keep them. Some parts could also be ordered off the internet and/or may be illegal and if the cops catch you with them they may arrest you. Another possible idea would be that you could collect different blueprints hidden around the city where if you collected them, they would give you a list of things from different vehicles that you needed to create a mystery object. some of these mystery objects could include hood mounted machine guns, knee cappers, plated metal windows, oil slicks, wheelie bars, and spiked bumpers (overall killing machine parts). It could be a bit of fun mowing peds over with a truck that looks something out of Death Race. One extremely well hidden blueprint could be the one to making a secret vehicle that has an achievement or trophy connected to it. Dealerships Vehicles could be purchased from retailers throughout the city from the retailer the cars maker is associated to. For example you would have a déclassé dealership selling Stallions, Sabres, Etc., and at the dealerships you can purchase a new vehicle that is in the show room or on the lot or you can also order one off the dealerships website. The website will allow you to build the car with whatever options you desire and whatever color you wish to have. This option will cost extra. The date of the cars expected arrival will be placed on your organizer on your cell phone or you can have the vehicle shipped directly to your garage for an extra cost. This will place the vehicle outside of your garage and will eliminate the risk of you losing your new car driving it back to a save point. At used car dealers, you can buy what else? Used cars! This is also the place you would take a car from your garage that you wish to sell, running or not. Buying vehicles from used dealers could be a buyer beware situation where you are not quite sure what you’re going to get. Sometimes you can buy a cheap parts car that turns out to have a V-10 engine under the hood, or a nice looking Banshee that has no engine at all. During the game, an online auto trader will become available where you can find a wide arrange of vehicles to choose from. Again this is a buyer beware situation. These cars can be shipped to your garage or picked up from the owner. Online Multiplayer In Free Mode, Races and a possible new mode called Car Show (Rate My Ride) your modified cars from story mode can be loaded to your online profile by an option in the garage in story mode. Free Mode You can select from five of your saved vehicles and load them into an online free mode match, allowing you to always have your favourite cars readily available to you. If you are killed by one of your fellow gamers (odds are you will be) you can re load the very same vehicle into the game. There will be select spawn points for cars and you will only be allowed one at a time (reduce game lag) but you will be able to trade them for another one of your saved vehicles. Races Races will allow you to race against your friends and the community by entering your vehicle into a race with other vehicles of the same class as the one you have nominated. You can compete for cash or pink slips in a head to head match. Cash will be carried over to your single player game so you can spend it on whatever you desire. If either you, or your opponent win in a pink slip race, you would have the option of taking the other persons car, or a cash reward instead. Car Show Car show is a new game mode much like rate my ride where you can view, rate a purchase other peoples vehicles, but a new feature is being able to take a vehicle you are considering buying and test driving the vehicle in a blank version of the game map, giving you a chance to see if the car is right for you. This game mode gives you the chance to flaunt your best designs and where your friends are allowed to view your vehicles easily by selecting your name in the online mode options list.

1 pointSo, I'm starting another GOTY topic. I'm not going to bother with a poll this time. Top 5/10 lists are better anyway. Here's mine.. 10. Assassin's Creed 3 It didn't really do that much for me, but I loved the setting, and the naval battles were awesome. 9. Mass Effect 3 Once again, I preferred the games before it. It had it's moments, but it just was a let down for me, especially as it was the end of the trilogy. It only made my top 10 because the multiplayer was surprisingly fun, and Javik is a pimp. 8. Dragon's Dogma A flawed game, but the pawn system was unique, and I still go back to play it. Hopefully the sequel can expand on the many good ideas, and combat can reach Dark Souls standards. 7. The Darkness II Barely a 2012 game, I'd say it's also one of the most underrated games of the year. It's a bit short, but it's heaps of fun. 6. The Walking Dead Barely a game, but it tells a great story. All fans of the show should have played it by now. 5. Max Payne 3 Great presentation, and heaps of fun. I didn't think I would like it at first, but it grew on me. 4. Borderlands 2 So much to do, so many weapons. 3. Hitman: Absolution A good story, heaps of different ways to knock off people, and contracts are awesome. I thought it was going to be my GOTY until I played the next 2 games... 2. XCOM: Enemy Unknown That feeling when you lose a soldier who has been through 20+ missions. "Cpt Thunderstick! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" To think you can spend ages getting you're shit in order and still lose is sweet/fucked depending on when you last saved. 1. Far Cry 3 What more to say about this that I already haven't mentioned in the topic? I've been playing for 2 weeks straight, and I'm still seeing new stuff. Now that it works, the multiplayer is surprisingly good. Co-Op is fun even when you play with strangers. I can not stress enough that everyone should buy this game. Now the top 10 is out of the way.. Honourable mentions Spec Ops: The Line Vice City 10th anniversary Most Overrated Game Dishonored. Too short, boring story, just not enjoyable. I've seen it win GOTY on a couple of sites now. How? Because it's a fps stealth game? If I wanted to play fps stealth with idiot AI, I'd play Skyrim. OHHHH SNAP! Game you were hoping would be good, but knew it wouldn't be Black Ops II. I only play the multiplayer to be social. The multiplayer was shit. I would rather be antisocial now.

1 pointEverybody knows that you're immune to bullets while climbing/descending ladders. Haven't you seen any movies lately? They always ricochet off, barely missing the protag as they flinch in a dramatic fashion. I recently set up a test with some friends and enemies to see if this Hollywood/Vinewood ladder theory is true. After being on a ladder for over an hour, and having over one thousand rounds shot at me, I can assure you all, it is impossible to be shot when on a ladder. Science, bitches.

1 pointOnly ever played softball in school, and only once too. they didn't let me play again after cos i kept forgetting to let go of the bat when i got a hit and in the end instead of dropping the bat after the hit I swung it back the way it came and released it with it then flying towards everyone waiting their turn to bat, no one got hurt unfortunately. edit: lol @ QD. They'll have to win it one day, just like Liverpool winning the title. Miracles do happen.

1 pointall i want is a mo-fo lorry with trailer attachment. used to give me so many more hours of game play in SA. i think that comes before modding. reason: we can all mod car in real life and in other games, we cant get a lorry, attach a trailer and bring hell to a city.
