Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[The Last Stand]

having said that, the whole xbox live thing means they'd have probably been able to weather the storm easier. but overall it probably would have been amazing for the xbox, and especially the 360.

That reminds me. Remember GTA IV? Microsoft paid R* to not only make GTA IV multiplatform from day 1, but to have its episodes timed exclusive for Xbox 360. I'm guessing Sony or R* wanted GTA IV exclusive to Sony again, but money talks.

Timed exclusivity is a cancer in the gaming industry. Gatekeeping titles for monetary reasons is greedy as hell.

Saints Row '23 still has bugs that will never be patched now, but it's nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be. The only thing more woke in it than the previous ones is "body types" instead of genders; the self help stuff is only spouted by one character and he and his beliefs get mocked throughout!

Spoiler

PC uses it as rage inducing material in one of the final missions

It's not as "grounded" as the first two, but not as wild as 4 and beyond, definitely better than GOOH and AOM, and puts that last one to absolute shame in terms of looks and performance. Most DLC content is utter garbage though.
It's a step in the right direction, but too little too late.

Looks like you have been infected by the woke mind virus. You need to go watch Endymion youtube videos.

Endymion

Took a quick gander and from his thumbnails, he seems like the typical "anti-woke" whose only problem is the lack of fap material in newer games. No thanks, debauchery and deviancy go hand in hand with wokeness.

In all my years of playing I don't think I've ever travelled this road



That is unless there's a mission that takes you along it that I've forgotten.

I didn't even know the airport has an actual purpose to take you from state to state.

You can buy a plane ticket and board the plane as a passenger. I knew about trains, but not that. Wow.

Isn't that grey area to the east of that road the quarry?

It's Mount Chiliad; the quarry is the dark brown area next to Las Venturas, by the river.

Closest thing is "Lure". But you can also take the Foster Valley highway instead to get to Angel Pine.

Ohhh fuck yeah, that's right. I was for some reason thinking Chilliad was closer to Los Santos, and the Quarry was closer to San Fierro, I misremembered the Quarry as a place during one of those robbery missions you had to do with Catalina, but that's not correct at all.

I'm actually surprised that Episodes for Liberty City did not sell as well as expected on launch. I guess that exclusivity deal hindered potential buyers from the PS3 and PC crowd. Too little too late since interest for GTA IV gradually waned when new games came out.

One of my biggest griefs with open world games is this, lots of interesting locale that isn't used in any activity. Good for those who explore shit for the sake of it.

Open worlds nowadays are becoming bigger and bigger with little to do. That's what I always liked about GTA's open world formula. You would use cars to navigate around. With the exception of SA and V, the maps were small, but detailed plenty that make traversal a breeze.

Just found out that Willzyyy played beta missions for a mod version of the scrapped GTA: San Andreas Stories game:

EDIT: Not scrapped, it’s a fan-made project.

Cool mod, I love these conversion fanmade mods with stories, missions and voice acting. It's not "scrapped," it's just a fan project.

There's a mod that puts GTA SA, VC, and GTA 3 into the same map, but its a bitch to set up.
Modding GTA SA in general sucks though because of fragmentation and Brazilians.

How is this different from GTA Underground?

Let alone Stars & Stripes when it becomes finished* and that modification will have a lot more freeways and roads than any of those two previously mentioned mods ever did.

But it is besides the point, you don't ever have a reason to travel that bit of the freeway into Chiliad since most usually go into Foster Valley anyways.

*If it does get close to even 80% completion

Always assumed Niko didnt much care but mostly because of his intense apathy towards much of the American nonsense, he was there to get revenge afterall. Niko is a very practical character, his personal feelings be damned if going along will help achieve his goal better.

Niko is as straightforward for a war torn character as they come. You try going into "the land of opportunity" to seek revenge and believe bullshit your cousin sells you about America. I'd be annoyed too.

It looks excellent. I fondly remember creating little missions and stories with the DYOM mod, but this is way more expansive than anything I could have ever done.
