    Only now your cousin can page your brain directly and insist that you go future bowling together

    I think it's either going to be set in San Andreas or a completely new location

    I liked four. And I still like it even though apparently the internet changed its mind

    I want more of that with some fun vehicles. Oh and Vice City showing up would have to be modern day with some burn notice and CSI vibes. They covered the 80s to death.

    Four was good. I had some excellent times playing that, or simply messing about in the multiplayer - just using it as an awesome chatroom, mostly.

    So yeah, getting five is a no-brainer.

    No retailer would sell the president killing simulator .

    I would like it to star Jimmy Hopkins though. Bully don't get enough love.

    the president could just be not in the white house

    also, you could be obliterated any time you set foot within a 3 mile radius

    because that is obviously how real life works

    Yeah with that V it's totally going to be DC.

  • PaperLuigi44PaperLuigi44 My amazement is at maximum capacity. Registered User regular
    Clearly the green 'V' is some sort of clue

    To, uh, the Grove Street Family

    Yes, that will do

    Doesn't necessarily have to do with the government and capital city.

    Why is the 'V' a clue to DC? I am wracking my tiny brain here and I can't think of how V connects to DC.

    Looks like money.

    With the way the ribbons come off it, the color and the lines.

    I don't see the connection to DC either, though.

    The coloration mimics the style on our currency.

    I mean I guess you could say that's universal but that seems pretty weird on their part, especially when the city it is going to be is the biggest anticipation for the game.

    I think there's room for both, as long as GTA takes itself seriously instead of having internet cafes that are dirty puns

    No, sorry, GTA's humor has always been a critical part of the game. It's always a more serious story than Saint's Row, and it's always a good story. A really goddamn good story. But there is always a heavily ironic humor to the game series and it does a lot to make it great.

    And I really have 0 doubt it'll be a better game than Saints Row the 3rd. I'm sure that'll be a stellar game, but Rockstar are really really good at their jobs and new GTA games are uncannily good about one-uping all the competition.

    yeah I know DC's not a state

    Yeah, Saints Row 3 is likely going to be fantastic, but I tend to be more invested in Rockstar stories

    Sweet, DC. So if you're doing a mission and it's between 7-9:30 AM or 4-7 PM you'll be stuck in gridlock on 495 for 2 hours.

    Part of the charm of 4 was the New York skyline and all those skyscrapers... in DC it's against the law to build any building taller than the washington monument. So yeah, it'd just be a bunch of squat boxy buildings to roam around.

    both San Andreas and GTA IV have problems with the story they were trying to tell being adversarial to the world the story exists in. They wanted to tell a serious story with exaggerated, often stereotypical, yet 'real' people, but they were putting them in Vice City's world, and it breaks it. I want to take CJ's journey seriously, I want to explore Niko's life transition, but as soon as you throw on a jetpack or walk into a store called tw@t, you've broken consistency. You're going to MacDonalds drivethru in a Lamborghini.

    Red Dead Redemption was perfect, because everything was consistent. The only way GTAV has any chance of being 'better' than SR3 is if they take themselves seriously, and even then it'll be the same game on opposite sides of the spectrum. They really aren't comparable anymore, however, so oneupmanship isn't even an argument. They cater to different tastes, and should.

    I'm glad they put "Five" over the V because people these days don't know roman numerals
