I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of enter-able buildings

less is more

The shopping in general is abysmal. The only things you can buy are a tiny selection of outfits, and guns. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could buy a car from that auto website, or a new phone from "panoramic". I just think they exaggerated the level of detail in this game, I expected a LOT more. Also, I think they should have some kind of indicator for the buildings that you can enter, so it's easier to get to roofs or whatever.

PS Does anyone know what that garage is for in Bohan? It has it's own icon, but I can't figure out why!

I was pretty pissed by the fact that while you can take pictures with the phone, you can't actually save them.

Gava1986

They were 2 of the gayest comments ever. Ur disappointed about the shopping? that u cant buy a new fone or a new car?? 1st off GTA = Grand Theft Auto, which is stealing cars....basicly u want a car u steal it! & if u want a game were u can buy new cloths & shop go out & buy 1 of those barbie games r a mary-kate & ashley games!!! This game is about stealing, killing, drugs & sex. Now if ur gonna be a puff about it dont play it. & as 4 ur man complaining about not saving pictures? u 1 of those clowns thats like a girl bringing his camera out 2 clubs to put pics on bebo? only women do that....." i cant save pics of my game!(whinge whinge)" Jesus christ u 2 r women

Markvtos

Come on! Tell me this, what's not cool about taking a picture of a civilian you've just set on fire? And anyways, it's just a minor complaint, the game is funking brilliant!

I just wanted to point out your username and the nature of your complaint.

That is all.

All I'm saying is that they outright lied about the amount of buildings you can enter. The "gta" part of the game is brilliant - no question there. (Although the cover system can be a tad annoying sometimes )

One other thing -- are there only two types of helicopters in the entire game???

Royale with Cheese

They always lie about that kind of thing before the game comes out. You'll know for next time, don't believe everything they say about the game.

They did say there'd be a fairly large amount of buildings to enter, which is bullshít. It would be nice to have more buildings to enter, but not essential. Just don't bullshít us about it.

Charlie

Whilst the whole shopping thing is a bit luke warm, it was never an integral part of a GTA game, and i'm not really bothered about it.

However, we were told before release that, whilst the map wouldn't be the same size of SA, it would be much bigger in a vertical sense, with alot of buildings being open to explore. I can't help feel that that was an exaggeration. Very few buildings that aren't relevant to the storyline are actually open to enter.

Dord

There are a lot of buildings that you can enter, you just have to find them. Obviously you can't enter all of them though.

Royale with Cheese

What truly would be the next step (won't happen on the current generation consoles, probably not for years anyway) would be to have a city with every single building open to go in to.

That is easily possible with the current generation of consoles and would have been possible in GTA 4. The reason it isn't done is mainly because of the workload involved - to model the interior of every single building in the city, most of which are multi-storey is a ginormous task, even for the large amount of staff at Rockstar's offices.

It would definitely be possible on a blu-ray disc, but maybe we would have to resort to the old GTA loading style when entering a building.

Oh no doubt it's possible, it would just take a bloody long time for them to make the game! :eek:

Blisterman

I heard, that there were skyscrapers you could go into, and climb to the top of.

Which one's are these? I can't find any myself.

Stephen

Empire state building - just go in a door at the bottom and you come out at the top, where there is a pigeon for you to kill and binocular thingies to observe the city with.

This thread is disgusting.

jcoote

handy little tip to find buildings u can enter:

throw a grenade (if u can afford em ) on the street and people from the buildings u can enter will run out in a frenzy,u can then run into the door they just left through.

Kiith

I find it easier to just steal a helicopter and fly up. No way i'm gonna use my legs like a sucker. I'm just dissapointed that theres no way to get a car up there...really wanted to see a car flying off the empire state building.

Markvtos

You actually can get cars up there as long as you mind using the cheats. Just fly up, land, and spawn a Turismo or something.

Perhaps he was indicating your maturity in years.

Type properly, if you are capable of it, and try to come up with a more eloquent way of arguing against somebody than with "They were 2 of the gayest comments ever" or "u 1 of those clowns thats like a girl bringing his camera out 2 clubs to put pics on bebo?"

Really...

L31mr0d

the only things i'm pissed about not being in the game is:

1: Not being able to climb to the top of the skyscrapers and base jump off them
2: Not being able to add nitro to your cars
3: Not being able to change your characters strength/speed by going to the gym
4: No Planes, I guess it would of been too much to ask for the ability to hijack a 747 at the airport and crash it into a skyscraper

mehfesto2

When you get a policecar, get to the cpu and do the most wanted list vigilante missions. It'll show you a good few enter-able buildings.

Some of these r better things to argue about! altho i dont agree with the gym stuff, waste of time in the game personally

That a good enough insult 4 u?

That was your 8th post on boards... Where's dudess when she's needed...?

Just curious here, have you ever had anyone insult your command of the English language?

Also, just to really nit-pick, letting somebody do something implies consent, which is something missing from rape... You are a bright one, aren't you?

Ya, fair enough, I should relax a little; I just like how boards has a level of maturity not found on the likes of gamefaqs et al... Except for some times.

To be more constructive, nothing about the game has disappointed me so far, on the contrary, I'm loving every second.

Gava1986

The fact that ur picking on my english when i typing fast in work & doing about 4 other things at once really is sound. Ur text msgs must have perfect english in them 2 yeh? well done Mr. Universe that fact that u need to pick on my english just shows how bad u r at come backs & shows ur lack of imagination & originality.

Burning Eclipse I wasnt talking about you, I was talking about Gava.
I find his attacks quiet over the top and needless. Wouldnt it be as easy and civil to say you disagree, that pic saving and shopping arent necessary without the sodomising commentary also???

Hahahahahaha! 9,548 posts???? I laugh at your lack of social life! If it's forbidden why do so many people use it? You dare question my maturity level when you have a picture of the gay guy from the "leave Britney alone" video! well done, well done... Also it's amazing how so many people can play GTA4 then be disgusted by my comment.....Hypocrits

Actually "so many people" don't use it here. At 21/22 years of age, would you not agree it looks exceptionally 13-year-oldish?

Noone uses textspeak on the website, those who do are warned to stop, should they not then they are punished. However, most stop after one or two posts and things go smoothly for them thereafter.

You might see people using acronyms, such as "tbh" for "to be honest", but you certainly won't see people posting messages like "I tnk GTA iz gr8! ur al fags if u dnt!", in general, even the 14/15 year old children who post here, have more maturity than to be posting in such a way, and more decency as to post their messages properly.

People are free to criticise the game all they like, they're entitled to their opinion and you can either respect that, or go elsewhere. You're welcome to debate their opinion with them, as long as you do it in a mature manner and don't resort to childish name calling/personal abuse.

Yes, your maturity is certainly in question. You're coming across as a child, whether you realise it or not. I don't think I've seen a single post of yours that hasn't been attacking someone. It's as though you're taking the criticism of the game personally, as though its your girlfriend and have to act all tough in an effort to defend it.

Also, I'd be more worried about your own social life if this is how you treat people over their opinion on a video game to be honest.

So again, grow up, post your messages properly and get your point/opinion across without being personally abusive. You're entitled to your opinion, once it conforms to the site rules.

You've come onto a forum about a game, read the posts, mocked people, and posted yourself saying that a person has no social life, whose the hypocrite now??
Its like people whos sole purpose is to populate Youtube with comments of: "have you nothing better to do," or "this is sad, you must have no life".

I've met loads of new people through the airsoft forums here on boards. And I'm sure people with thousands of posts have met quirt a few people too.
Wouldnt that be considered a social life???
