    Do you think that the Islands are on the East or West side of the Map?
  2. BlackSox9
    That's a good idea. Except if you're going for a realistic GTA, then shooting a cop in real-life would lead to a massive investigation ( Law Enforcement hates Cop Killers for some strange reason ). And this would lead to a wanted level that would never go away as long as you're alive ( bribing wouldn't help get rid of it either ). So it's good GTA's Wanted System isn't too realistic...

    Despite the previews looking pretty average, it's gotten solid reviews across the board ( except from maybe IGN ). I won't be buying it, but it should be a good time filler for the people that did buy it, between now and GTA V's release.

    Yeah I like Hendrix ( the best Guitarist of all time ), and Pink Floyd. But the Beatles are more my Dad's kind of music ( his favourite band ). And of course Queen are legends ( Another One Bites the Dust/ We Will Rock You/ We Are The Champions/ Bohemian Rhapsody/ Killer Queen/ Bicycle/ I Want To Break Free etc )...

    I would be closer to the '70s. But please, what is the track? I honestly can't remember any individual tracks being good in 2006. I would say 2006 was the beginning of the end for me, and afterwards there was no variation to the songs ( they all sounded shit too me ). They were all love songs from some dumb bitch or a bitch sounding proud american with no originality or talent. If I was talking mainstream music and not rap I would say ~ What happened to songs like "Hey Ya/ Ms Jackson from Outkast", or "In The End from Linken Park", or "Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nirvana", or "Californication/ Otherside from Red Hot Chilli Peppers", or "Freak on a Leash from KoRn", or "Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes", or "Breath/ Firestarter from The Prodigy", or "Wake Up/ Killing in The Name Of from Rage Against The Machine", or "Intergalactic from Beastie Boys", or anything from Daft Punk, Queen, ACDC, Metallica, Fatboy Slim, or basically anything from the 90's and before. And that's not even including all the great music from before the early 2000's/ late 90's. Or even Mainstream Rap like "Lose Yourself by Eminem", or "Still Dre from Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg", or "Breath by Fabolous", or "Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio", or "Shook Ones Pt. 2 from Mobb Deep", or "New York State of Mind from NAS", or "Insane in The Brain/ Rap Superstar from Cypress Hill", or "The Format from AZ", or "Ruff Ryders/ Slippin from DMX" or anything from Wu Tang Clan, Tupac, Biggie, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Bone Thugz, Cypress Hill, Eminem, DMX, Gangstarr, Army of The Pharaohs, Jedi Mind Tricks, Common, Mos Def, Dr Dre, Easy E, Big L, Big Pun, Immortal Technique, Zion I, Dilated Peoples, The Game, D12, AZ, Mobb Deep, Ice Cube, Dead Prez, Royce Da 5'9', Termanology, Goretex, Non Phixion, and Old 50 Cent stuff and Jay Z only for his single "Hard Nock Life" ( the rest is shit/ he's really overrated ).

    I agree, but I would say that the year is different. I for one haven't heard a good mainstream song since 2006...

    It could add a whole new layer of immersion to stealing and owning cars. I'm sure if the stolen car mechanic works like this ( with you getting a wanted level every time you enter a cops cone of vision in a stolen car ), we'll see some kind of Chop Shop similar to LS Customs ( but an illegal version ) that will allow us to take off any vehicle identifying marks ( like VIN Numbers & Licence Plates). Which would then allow you to take it to LS Customs to customize the vehicle as you please. Or maybe there will just be two different Vehicle Customization places, one being LS Customs ( for legally bought cars and bikes ) and the other being an Illegal Chop Shop ( for everything that's stolen ). We'll find out for sure how it all works in 1 month...

    Even if there were kids in GTA V, which I highly doubt there will be. They would probably be Invincible/ Invulnerable from any physical harm, and would probably just run away if attacked ( like in Fallout/ TES ).

    Yeah, nose-mounted cameras on Police Helicopters was confirmed in some of the Articles that followed the GTA Online Video ( with the footage of police chases being shown on TV ). Here's an excerpt from a Gamespot article ~ "Say you're hanging out in your high-rise apartment enjoying the view down below. You spot a flurry of red and blue lights in the distance and decide to see what's going on. So you switch on your TV, tune into the news, and suddenly you're watching your friend fleeing from the police in real-time thanks to the news helicopter flying directly above him". Link ~ http://uk.gamespot.c...6412714/?page=2 It also mentions CCTV for your apartment in the same paragraph as well. And we've also seen CCTV mentioned on the Heist Planning Boards in the Gameplay Video ( as seen below ). As for anywhere else in the world I don't know. Excerpt ~ "Beyond little touches like this, you can use your apartment for more practical uses, as well--like getting your friends together to go over the details of a heist in your planning room or keeping a watchful eye on your 10-car garage using a closed-circuit security camera feed".

    I just had an idea about the Next Gen GTA but couldn't find a relevant topic, so I'll just put it here. I think that the Next GTA, GTA 6 ( or whatever you want to call it ) should be set in Vice City in the 70's/ 80's ( yes, like the last one ). Mainly because of the Music and Clothing ( having a unique and very cool feeling ), but also because of what real life Miami was like back then as well. The old Vice City had you buying up Real Estate all over the two islands, but in reality there could be much more done in regards to this aspect of the game. Real-Life Miami was pretty much built by the Drug Lords of the 70's and 80's using Drug Money. Before them and their massive developments came along the foundations of Miami were pretty much just a big swamp ( unrecognisable from what you see today ). So what I want to see is; your GTA 6 character have the ability to choose ( with the money they earn ) what kind of buildings and businesses ( or illegal rackets ) are built in the city ( and to have the ability to choose what their exteriors and interiors will look like/ as they'll all be enterable and fully interactive ). Also for this mechanic to work properly the game would need to progress over a certain period of time ( from the late 70's to the late 80's ), to properly show the development of Vice City from a small swampy town into the sleek metropolis more similar to the modern Miami of today. Of course this Next-Gen Vice City would have to be more complex and intricate than any other GTA before. With fully functional Shopping Centres with Clothing Shops, Gun Shops, Tool Stores, Movie Theatres, Barbers, Tattoo Shops, Gyms, Video Game Arcades, Fast Food/ Up-Market Restaurants, Laser Tag Arenas. There should be fully functional stadiums with live football games or rock concerts ( kind of like the one with Phil Collins in Vice City Stories ). There should be Racing Tracks, Go-Cart Tracks, Horse Racing Tracks, and fully functional Casinos with every type of gambling you can thing of. There needs to be Strip Clubs and XXX Porno Theatres, Major and Minor Airports/ Air Strips, Marinas, and Martial Arts Gyms which can teach you different styles of Melee Combat. Car/ Boat/ Plane and Helicopter Customization in Chop Shops, Hangers and Marinas. Everything needs to be of the highest quality, and the attention to detail needs to be immaculate. There needs to be Massive Alligator-Infested Swamps south of Vice City, and more countryside dotted with small Redneck Towns to the west and north. With plenty of exploration opportunities in the countryside ( and hunting for animals through the bush/ swamps ), or navigating the complex river systems by kayak/ canoe and encountering overly friendly locals along the way ( think Deliverance ), as well as fully mapped-out underwater environments. And possibly a Big Island to the South reminiscent of Cuba, with a Tyrant-Like Dictator you can go to war with ( employing your own personal army to take over the country section by section/ this might be going a little far ). Cuban and Haitian Gangs in the Ghetto parts of the City, and the Italian Mafia and South American Drug Cartels fighting with one another for territory and control of the drug trade. Meaning that there will also be an in-depth Drug Economy which you heavily influence and slowly monopolise. There will be Safehouses/ Purchasable Properties of all shapes and sizes all over the city, from dingy trailers in one of the poor Redneck Trailer Parks to massive Mansions and Multilevel Penthouses ( all of which you can upgrade and customize to suit your personal taste ). The game should only focus on one protagonist this time around so you can have a full character creation system, which is also heavily supplemented with RPG elements ( all the stats from GTA V but more ), and the need to eat/ drink and sleep every once and a while to avoid penalties to your characters stats. Fat and Muscle are also influenced by food eaten and any exercise done in the gym ( but this time any muscle gained in the gym is much easier too maintain ). There should also be some kind of XP system implemented so that you're character can level up and pick perks that enhance their skills with bonuses. Also abilities like Bullet Time ( like in GTA V ) or a new one like a Rage Mode where you're invincible and deal massive damage for a short period of time ( like in Scarface: The World is Yours ). And the ability to pick a special perk once you've maxed out one of your skills ( like for lung capacity, you could pick either unlimited water-breathing or a special unarmed attack against Sharks while underwater ). Also some kind of Reputation/ Respect system that dictates how NPC's and different criminal factions deal with and react to you So basically the game starts off with you being a small time nobody who arrives in town from Chicago. You start with zero money, zero weapons, zero reputation/ respect and no assets. And then you go on an epic journey that shapes the very image of Vice City, meeting all sorts of crazy characters along the way, and making a lot of enemies as well. It's a cliché rags to riches story, but it could be done bigger & better than it has ever been done before. With the game either landing you back in the poorhouse at the end, or as the Crime King Pin of Vice City. But as most of the Drug Lords of Miami are either dead or in jail, I would go with the former... I could type more, but I'm tired as hell and can't form anymore coherent ideas. So I'll just leave it at that. Sorry for so much text...

    It's not the size of the map it's the way you use it............... it's the quality of the map, and the subtle visual features that really make the world immersive.
  12. BlackSox9
    Sees a Link to GTA V's Trophies/ Achievements. Doesn't click on it for fear of spoilers. * I think I'll wait until I've actually played a few hours of GTA V, then I'll have a look at the Trophy List...

    What San Fierro could potentially look like in GTA Online ~ Not my pics...
  14. BlackSox9
    I swear this always happened to me whenever I joined up with a group of randoms In RDR. They'd start trying to kill me every single time I spawned, I'd kill each of them a couple of times ( there would usually be 3-5 of them ). And eventually they'd kill me due to sheer numbers and better weapons ( I barely played online so I had low level weapons and mounts ). But I always spawned back near by, and I would then start attacking them for killing me without warning/ reason. Eventually I would find some great defensive position, and would start massacring them ( with them barely getting any kills on me at all/ it's great listening to assholes whine ). After which they usually got pissed and left the game. Hopefully GTA Online is a better experience ( I only played like one Team Deathmatch in GTA lV as well )...
  15. BlackSox9
    I wonder if there will be any Islands off the coast. Also, I could be wrong but I remember seeing an Oil Rig in the Ocean in one of the screenshots/ vids. But I can't find an image for it, does anyone remember hearing about it or seeing it?

    Shit I'm a retard. The first time I loaded new vegas I put those two perks. Well my title isn't Not-so-lovable retard for nothing On a side note, that shit should be changed Of course I would never combine those traits. But I have taken the fast shot trait for previous characters, it goes extremely well with the Gatling Laser/ Sprtel-Wood 9700. Ramping up the already massive fire rate, to kill things very quickly with even a moderately good Energy Weapons skill. Plus Gatling Lasers don't have any accuracy problems or recoil to worry about, and with a high Luck and +% Critical Chance Perks you can have multiple critical hits every second. Which really combines for massive damage in a short space of time even with the Gatling Laser's relatively low base damage, enemies can be finished off in 2 seconds or less with max charge ammo. Combine that with Vigilant Recycler for more drained cells on bodies/ in containers, and Jury Rigging to counteract how fast you're weapon degenerates ( taking Raul as a companion is also a good idea ), and the Meltdown Perk for chain reaction explosions on weaker enemies. The Gatling laser mows down groups of enemies, and even finishes legendary creatures in mere seconds. Really the best weapon for when you're role playing as a BoS Paladin.

    Yeah the reason why I thought Rockstar might include Liberty City is because they stated that they were thinking of including old content in GTA Online. And the only other High Def GTA they have besides GTA V is GTA lV, so expanding upon what they already have with Liberty City sounded logical. But I agree. Expanding the world to include San Fierro and Las Venturas is a great idea ( they should probably save Vice City/ and turn it into a Full-Blown Next Gen game ). But it would take a lot of work to make full blown cities like that ( which are HD/ not like the old cities in San Andreas which were much easier to make ), and it already took them 5 years to make Los Santos and it's countryside. So it might be a while before we see new HD versions of San Fierro & Las Venturas.
  18. BlackSox9
    I think at some point Rockstar will install a revamped version of Liberty City from GTA lV. One with a ton of purchasable properties, more clothing stores, Liberty City Customs, and a lot of different heists. Plus maybe even an underwater environment for the rivers around Liberty City, filled with shopping trolleys, old cars and dead bodies with concrete on their feet ( and sharks ). They could even put some new countryside into Alderney ( New Jersey ), which would make the map more viable for planes. So you could either teleport from Los Santos to Liberty City, or somehow have them exist in the same world ( so you can then fly from one island to the other ). Just a crazy idea about GTA Online. You better be worried because I'm gonna be gunnin' for you...

    The Single Player is completely separate from the Online component of the game. Any money, gain in stats, bought vehicles/ properties, or weapons you have in Single Player won't carry over to Online. Basically it's like Red Dead Redemption's Online, where you start from scratch with nothing, and build up money/ reputation and acquire assets completely separately from GTA V's Single Player. It's almost like an MMORPG ( albeit with less players ).
  20. BlackSox9
    Wow, just wow. GTA Online is almost a complete game in itself. *Also I proposed a form of car insurance last year, and lo and behold it's actually in the game. I guess me and Rockstar are on the same wave-link.
  21. BlackSox9
    So don't bother with Season 3 then?
  22. BlackSox9
    Just finished Season 2 on Blu-Ray. This has to be the best show on TV right now, love the opening theme music/ really sets the mood ( the only show that even compares right now is probably Breaking Bad ). Is Season 3 as good as the first 2?

    Ozgameshop.com? Yep. I buy from the same place. It's usually half the price of games here. The only problem is the 1-2 week wait for the game/s to be shipped.
  24. BlackSox9
    Yeah I agree. If this cul-de-sac is even in the game, there will probably only be a small Easter-Egg referencing Grove Street or some of the characters from San Andreas, like some graffiti or a mural or something. Kind of like these ones in GTA lV ~ << Referencing Claude & Tommy. ^^ And above is Graffiti of past GTA's artwork.
