Smafugula 31 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 Amazingly I agree with your 3rd grade ass, I liked how you had to fill your tank in Mafia II. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OptimumPx 329 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 It was a wasted feature in Mafia, it was just as wasted in Mafia II. What happens when your car runs out of gas? You abandon it and steal a new one. Why? Cause its GRAND THEFT AUTO. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1970Stang 7 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 yes. that would make a use for hybrids. and make it so your car can be hot, so if you have a stolen car, you can respray it and your good (like Mafia 3) and then, instead of stealing a new car and spending money on paint and fake license plates, you can just fill up our own. you get what im saying?

rm80rams 62 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 its pointless to have to fill up. just steal a car and use it until it runs out of gas and steal another Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tahkyn 12 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 I doubt they will implement such a feature in GTA. It would be as pointless as a feature where friends ring you up to go bowling and oh wait... If they do put a gas feature in it will just encourage me to jack more vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iconoclast 6 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 As it would be utterly useless to actually use the feature (like the carwash in IV), it would on the other side vamp up the chases. Car's wrecked? Grab another one... But shit luck on you cause the lady you just jacked forgot to fill it up Anyway, if they make police awareness a bit more intelligent, it could bring something to the game. It'd still give you time to change cars with a bit of a timewindow, not just frantically cause the police are 360 degrees on your ass OR there is, very suddenly, not a single car to be spotted in the entire street! (if you're in the middle of a high speed chase, well then... time to get creative I guess...) ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 A tank of gas is good for three hundred miles... Once you get 4 stars the military is going kamikaze on your ass... Your car will be destroyed way before you run out of gas, ergo no need for refueling.... Unless your going to turn gta into a strategy game....

gmt 60 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 R* put a gazillion of "useless" (guess that's a matter of personal likes rather than a matter of fact) things in every GTA. Why not functional gas stations? Adds some more realism to the game, just like the car wash did and the friends-system did and the minigames did an so on... and once you get 4 stars a tank of gas is no way near good for 300 miles, I doubt you run from the cops at 35mph 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PedestrianRiotz 93 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 The gas would defo be an exciting, useful and realistic feature, as this will be the biggest map to date apparently, so if you run out of gas in the desert what are you gonna do? I doubt there'll be many cars out there lol I love the idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 I can get 300 gallons a tank going 70mph in my truck.... Play gta 4 with a four star wants level and see how many miles you drive before the car is trashed, I'm going with 50 miles max... No where near being close to running out of gas... Most cars. Nowadays get 25 to 35mpg with a tank 20 to 30 gallons.... Do the math Here is something you can't understand, how my iphone could just kill a man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MisterPerfecto 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Well,the idea is not bad,but if you are in nowhere and and you have a unquie vehicle which is run out of gas.... Maybe R* put a ''Gas-refill'' Cheat or something else like this. Also able to turn the fuction on and off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biker Korben 3 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Perhaps this could be a mission specific thing... More to add to the storyline than anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mercy 30 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 I have issues with the idea, i dont want to have to be tailin someone and then have to stop to put gas in however, i did like it in mafia 2. I think that it could work, just make sure you fill up before a misson. And imagine if you rob a car with hardly any petrol, then trying to get away from the police, that could be an interesting twist. As long as gas stations arent few and far between then i wouldnt mind it. It could be a new job, like a cab driver etc, you could have to fill up peoples cars and get money, that way at the start if you have enough money for gas you can earn some (assuming you also dont wanna risk jackin a new car) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayge 689 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Pointless, it's not like it's difficult to get out and jack another car in a few seconds. It would be a cool feature if it was there, but I wouldn't be complaining if it wasn't. And if the game is anything like SA, there will be a lot to spend your money on. Unlike in IV where there was nothing to spend it on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoekie 4 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 i like the idea, but i like it more when there comes a cheat that you can do whan you run out of gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 You would continuously be at full throttle and you'd still get at least 10 to 15 mpg Here is something you can't understand, how my iphone could just kill a man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmt 60 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 depending on the car... a lambo gallardo does about 15mpg driving normal, a smart-car does the same pedal to the metal style. but I guess we're drifting a little too far off topic here. I get many ppl don't see a point in it, but the fuel-system works pretty well in mafia 2 (where you could also just jack a new car once you ran empty), I don't see no reason why it wouldn't work in GTA aswell. either you use it or not, just like with every other sidekick available in games. Let's see what R* thinks about which gimmicks the game must have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nextgentrix3000 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 i sorta like the idea but there should atleast be alot of gas stations because it would suck if the cops are chasing me and i run out of gas.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko9000 7 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 I'd rather have a random percentage of my car cutting out/stalling/suddenly breaking than running out of PETROL, as that would be more realistic imho. Either that, or have the fuel tank like 1+ hour of gameplay's worth of fuel, since you can get from 1 end of a GTA game to the other in around 15 minutes tops at full speed in a fast car, so it'd be difficult to scale down real cars to a GTA game I think. The only reason i'd give a shit about the fuel would be if the car I was in was really rare or one i'd modded (assuming that was possible). I rarely recall a time where i'm in a car long enough to potentially use a tank of fuel anway. So it would only affect me personally if the amount of fuel in pedestrian cars was random, meaning you could drive for a further 1 minute or 100. I say no to the mechanic, but wouldn't moan if it was in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joint ops 7 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 I like this idea because you can actually have a good use for gas stations, mabey there will be a car wash built into part of the building and mabey you can go in the place and pay or pay at pump, or drive away and dont pay. It would also be good if you could drain gas out of cars - sabotage- theres a mob boss that will come out of a building and get into his limo soon, you could make sure he doest leave. I would like if your car gets shot up like gas and stuff leaks out and it could blow up or run out of fuel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoic Person Eater 159 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Fucking christ. I LOVE these threads. That would be so cool if you had to fill up your car in the game. You could go to the gas station and pull up like you are going to pump gas, then you get out and there is like, an animation of you pumping gas and then you can walk inside and get a scratch off lotto ticket and a frozen fruit drink. It would also be just as cool to make you have to take shits after you eat food, so while you are at the gas station, you can wait in line to use their bathroom, but if you run out of stomach space, you shit your pants and then you have crusty pants and have to get a new pair because you can't walk anymore. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
