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

[William Murderface]

It's thematic. "Pure Cinema" as the kids call it these days.

Trevor was straight with Mike, and he still took the deal to "get out" while fully expecting him to die.

And honestly, outside of the house, Mike pretty much uses Franklin as hired help that gets him involved in a lot of serious shit without much payout. They don't actually have the money from the Union Depository yet, and Devin Weston could seem like a nice "way out" for him.

It's the whole thing coming full circle for Michael.

Trevor even calls Mike out on it at one point about how Franklin is out there risking his life for Mike and Mike clearly doesn't give a shit.

I knew his voice sounded familiar form The Sopranos.

Madsen wasn’t in the Sopranos.

 

[Korpon]

Madsen wasn’t in the Sopranos.

True, but wasn't he originally supposed to be the actor for Tony B before Steve Buscemi got the role? I think he would have fit that way better than Steve.

That sucks

The word I learned from this music is "liminal." I think Sal's mansion has music eerily playing in the background as well. It's haunting, but it fits. I wish something like this was in LCS' rendition.

Salvatore Mansion, Hepburn Heights apartments, the docks at night, etc.

Salvatore Mansion,

Oh, no, you're right. The piano music plays inside the living room.

I love that there are videos of people being idle in GTA 3 to capture the ambience. Without your input, you have peds fighting each other and saying random stuff.

The Card Counter.

Google's reverse image search sucks ass.

GTA IV's support page on Rockstar's website was found to include PS4 as an option before being swiftly removed.

I'm sure it will be as pathetic as the RDR remaster. At least RDR wasn't on PC.

They literally introduce him by having him murder Johnny for no reason.

I actually really liked Johnny, and V turns him into a strung-out pathetic loser then has the edgy new craaaazyy character stomp his head in for shock value.

The original Joel-in-one.

The military base thing at first had me like “oooh,” but the gang business minigames feel like a chore. There’s literally no mechanical difference between a “level one” and “level three” weed factory other than the number going up.

VCS's empire missions loosely remind me of San Andreas' gang terrorities, but marginally worse. I hate having to travel halfway across town to protect a business, then backtrack to ANOTHER business to protect. I believe there's an exploit you can do to pause attacks which gives you time to capture and buy all possible businesses which then STOPS the attacks.

Anyway, it's a cheap way of padding since you have to race to protect them or use money to "repair" them, rinse repeat.

Rockstar Social Club shutdown and a new garbage replacement mobile app that will make you buy even more sharkcards is on the way for GTA6.

The original Joel-in-one.

I remember when I first played V, I was really pissed off that they killed Johnny like that and I still kinda am but I recently replayed TLAD for the first time in years and I actually appreciate Johnny’s death a little more from a writing perspective.

At the end of TLAD, after killing Billy, Johnny says something like, “5 years ago, he would’ve never done something like that, all the drugs fucked him up and turned him into this.” Literally 5 years after IV, the same thing happens to Johnny, he became his own worst enemy. Although he’s a pathetic weakling instead of a backstabbing asshole like Billy.

Having said that, TLAD, despite being a short expansion pack, still has better writing than like 85% of 5’s writing. The dialogue in 5 is so obnoxious and annoying that it really makes it hard to come back to, which is a shame since there’s a lot about the game itself that’s really good.

I'm *really* starting to wonder what the (alleged) two or three scripts Take Two straight up rejected from Dan Houser for GTA VI were.

That may partly explain the ten year development hell.
