ooooooooooooooh

Seriously though, I thought GTA’s tone was feeling a decade out of date even in 2013. It just stinks of the late 90s and early 2000s, specifically of early South Park

    that’s true, but i was talking about running over civilians/pedestrians that are minding their own business in games like GTA. i just don’t get what’s so fun about that.

    maybe i should’ve clarified this.

        As a child, I spent hours just camping the top of the GTA4 subway stairs so I could sprint into people and watch them fall down while shouting profanities. The way the ragdolls had weight and would try (often successfully) to catch their fall when shoved around was so good, I don’t think even GTA5 was as good.

      Ah. Yeah, that never appealed to me either. I’m the kind of dork that tries to obey all the traffic laws in GTA like games though. At least in LA Noire driving like an asshole is appropriate since you play as a the-pigs

        I remember trying to do that in good 'ol Vice City, only for pedestrian-driving vehicles/cars to ignore them and speed on through (sometimes even hitting my vehicle/car in the process). The funniest part is I didn’t even aggravate them or had cheats on, yet they still did it anyway. :^)

          I’m pretty sure one out of every 1000 cars randomly (maybe more likely than that) in gta 5 is specifically coded to drive like a complete maniac. I’ve seen them do a lot of wacky shit. Wouldn’t surprise me if that was a feature all the way back
