It was still pretty fun, any one else have any moments like this?

JUST
that's a shame
I actually hope the next GTA gives us turn signals. Sometimes its fun to really follow the rules of traffic. Also, it would be neat to have some traffic jams.
nice blog faggot
Dude imagine if he had died when you landed hahaha he would shit his pants aswell hahaha
I'm ashamed to say that I'm older than you would probably think, and looking back it was probably weird that I was playing video games with them there in the first place
Here's what I don't get. You know those "tail the guy in your car, don't let him spot you" missions?
Instead of basing it on proximity why not base it on adherence to driving rules? It would be the only time in GTA where you had to follow the rules, which would be a challenge. No fender benders, no running red lights, stay in the lines or you fail.
Baffles me why the don't do this. It would make those missions fun instead of terrible.
30+ ain't that uncommon here, but it's more common on Sup Forums and /lit/ and /out/
Sometimes its fun to play games differently than normal. Some of the most fun/comfy times I ever had in Skyrim was installing some hunting/camping/survival mods and just fucking off into the woods to become a hunter. Just stick to doing quests that come to you, don't go into cities if you can avoid it, and have yourself a good old time.
V is the worst out of the whole series when it comes to this. Even San Andreas did tailing missions better
Same.
I think all the games are horrible at tailing missions. They are always so fucking boring. The car you're following tends to go so slow so you just have to stay behind them for so long. I agree with the first user's suggestions, having another element like following traffic would make the mission more interesting.
My least favorite missions in IV are the tailing missions, that one where you have to follow the guys to the meet, and them detonate a bomb, is just painful. I also don't like the one in San Andreas because it's glitchy
honestly in most games i enjoy doing this kind of thing, more than the actual missions or gameplay. it makes me wonder why open world games dont focus more on these little things. they all focus way too much on the main story/quest

Sometimes when playing Red Dead Redemption, I liked to ride my horse at the normal cruising speed instead of spuering every few seconds

kek, Sup Forums has its big percentage of literal kids raging over smartphones or intel/amd cpus
GTA to me has yet to ever capture a living city full of cars since all the cars drive at your convenience by driving at slow speeds and auto stopping if you approach their cars perpendicularly. For evidence, drive through intersections and notice how you nor other cars ever get T-pinned despite it being a red light. This is a design decision but it still makes the world seem like it revolves around your convenience.
I just want to be able to recreate that sequence no GTA has ever been able to capture in any heist movie where your car gets caught in traffic and you have to abandon your car and sprint across concrete to either escape police attention or jack a new ride. There needs to be more random generated moments that makes playing GTA missions feel less like playing Simon says.
>playing the tailing missions in GTA 4
>following the rules of the road, driving at a normal speed, etc.
>the guy i'm tailing decides that means i want to hunt him down and kill his entire family
How the fuck did this make it past playtesting?
I feel like its actually sort of glitchy how cars respond to you. Often I find that cars go INTO your lane for no real reason other than to seemingly annoy you
>GTA V is 4 years old
Imagine... If all those immature posts are made by 30+ neckbeard neets
After all it's the poor NEETs that buy AMD.
Last thing I saw was that 8700K although running hot beats Ryzen 16 core even though it's just a 6 core CPU.

That's a really specific memory I have. It's giving me too much sadness for some reason all these years after that (it was 15 years ago). The fact that they got that invested in it just makes me want to cry and kill myself because it reminds me of how I wasted my life through a chain-reaction of triggered memories and regret.
Damn you just explained my life in a nutshell
My sister used to play GTA as a life simulator when she was little. Driving to the store, following traffic laws, taking a nice stroll. She never did anything wrong because she felt bad for it.
She's a drug addict now.
You can play games anytime.
When your grandparents are dead you'll regret not putting the controller down to spend time with them.
Can't be, it's not tldr or fake enough to be /r/Sup Forums bait.
>have no reason to call because i live the most boring life imaginable
>as a result never call
i honestly find the game more fun when you play it as a life simulator.
Hell, with IV they deliberately tried to make it more of a life simulator, but people weren't crazy about it so with V they went in the other direction
But I would honestly love a game where you can stroll around parks, follow traffic laws, and the like with a lot of realism
...
Its sad that it took this long for GTA to get its AI to react appropriately to you not driving like a maniac.

Police would chase you down in Mafia if you were speeding or ran a red light, slightly easier if you press the button that limits your car's speed. Playing as a 30's mobster, you can let them pull you over and easily bribe them to deal with the ticket.
Not caring about my sister anymore is the best decision I ever made. That memory doesn't even make me sad. It's just a memory.
She had her chances. I feel so free now.
GTA gets away pretty easily with explaining away bugs and bad AI by covering it up with the attitude "Wow, even the random NPCs in this city are reckless jerks."
>She's a drug addict now.
Should've kept her away from nigs and Chads.
It's confirmed that in high speed pursuits NPC drivers will veer into you from the other side of the road right?
Happens all the time. Vigilante justice.
Pretty sure IV has a glitch where, if cars are trying to avoid you, they will actually turn into your lane, blocking you. This is why driving on the bridges is so shitty
Yeah, the immersion in GTA games were always broken hardest when you weren't trying to kill anyone in the environment. It always feels like the NPCs are waiting for you to start a fight with them rather than having business of their own.
It's no use trying to be a law abiding citizen in GTA though.

I used to punch cars until someone wanting to fight got out, then id run to a taxi and stand on it til he hits it trying to hit me and watch him and the cabbie box in the street.
Its a shame Los Santos cab drivers arent willing to fight to the death like Liberty City ones.
damn that's being on my mind since my first tailing mission in gta. there's probably like 5 others right next to his and the AI just deems the protag suspect.
Deadly Premonition has turn signals and windshield wipers.
more importantly it would be possible to predict when NPC will turn and not run into them at full speed because they suddenly decide to take a left despite you coming at full speed on their left
are you suggesting they actually fund innovative programming instead of spending 80% of the budget on marketing, 5% on voice acting, 5% on grafix, 5% on celebrity models, and 4% on music contracts?
I play GTA IV like that. Never steal cars, if I need to go somewhere far I'll take a taxi. If it's within 20 minutes walking (never running) distance real time then I'll walk it. The game takes an age to finish but you really get to notice all the little details. Really shows how much work they put into making it feel alive.
Another good thing to do is phone the police then punch a car, wait for them to hit you then they get cuffed and taken away. Always thought that was cool as fuck.
I hope it has a simulation mode with wheel support and realistic physics.
Things like that makes a game much more inmersive. Other cool thing in Mafia is that were you break the law by doing a little thing like just breaking the speed limit by less than 10 mph and the policeman just warned you without having to pay a fine or bribing him.
I do this in the beginning half but I like the head canon and progression of the MC blowing his money on guns, not giving a shit about laws and generally tumbling into their grave recklessly.
