The Official Complaint Thread

[Captain Eo]

Well there are!

My biggest complaint in the realistic handling of the cars, I've gotten so frustrated with it that I hail a taxi at every chance.

[Zaz]

haha, I was gonna come in here to post that. A bit annoying at first but you get used to it.

Also, I find most of the radio stations pretty rubbish. I miss RadioX and WCTR

It costs $5 each way for me to go to the strip club, PLUS all the private dances I buy. Give me a break, eh?

[A-Dub]

i went to the strip club once, bought a dance...it just felt pretty pathetic, so I don't do that anymore.

I would like to see some DLC ala Rock Band and Guitar Hero, maybe some added stations to keep the game fresh.

Aside from those high hopes, yes the radio is a complete downgrade from all previous installments. With over 200 songs I was surely expecting a larger variety but it's really all grabage and that's before any signs of Nickleback.

Flash.FM was always my favorite station, and the one from San Andreas that had all the funk and New Jack Swing music.

The stations get a bit used to.

Anyways my bitching.

My hat disppears when I get into a car in single player and the Bowling Alley door says pull when it's a push. I'll fill this thread =D

My big complaint is the flying out the car everytime you run into something. It is hilarious the first few times but it slowly gets annoying.

[Guest Kou]

I've found a pretty big one while jumping from roof to roof, I wasn't going to make a jump so I smacked myself into the side anways to see if I could grab on. Niko floated slightly in the ledge until he reached a point where he could get up and then got up.

I had one similar one, where he did the floating thing until he could float no more and just fell >_>

In addition to the lack of good radio stations, I miss the "auto-tuning" feature...

Also, since when does a small thing like accidentally scraping a cop's car (due to the "improved" driving system) warrant enough cops that when I try to run around the cops without escaping (which I can't do, because the "capture" window seems to be ridiculously huge), I get shot down in a rain of bullets that could best be described as "warfare"?

Seriously. Do cops all have superpowers, and fly around the city looking for the slightest hint of crime? It seems 3 or 4 cops pop up out of nowhere the second you hit 2 stars (which you never intended to get).

[Meacon Keaton]

I've found this to be the easiest GTA yet for escaping cops, actually. It is aggravating that accidently tapping their car causes them to pull out their guns on you. But like I said, I find it rather easy to get outside of their range.

[Baddar]

Not that I've done much of the game yet, but in the time that I have played it I've not been busted or died once yet. The cops have been pretty easy to get away from, although in saying that the most stars I've reached is 3.

[Scott McFly]

I mentioned it in another thread, but the button for running is the same for answering your phone. It's pretty annoying when you're tapping on A to sprint away and all of a sudden you're at a snail's pace and speaking on the phone. I'm just waiting for the time I'm running across the road, accidentally answer the phone and get run down.

And also the radio stations are pretty awful compared to previous games. There's about 50 for R'n'B, 1 rock station, 1 electro station (which Niko referred to as "that station for gay people" when asking the taxi driver to change it, nice.), 1 talk station and Radio Broker which is general stuff. Heck, Wild Dances by Ruslana on the Eastern Europe station is the best song in the game.

One final complaint - Niko is hideously ugly and looks like he stabs people for fun, so I certainly should not be able to bed a girl as easily as I have.

[Slogger]

I mentioned the phone problem in another thread, But good to know other people have the same problem.

[New Damage]

No one seems to have noticed that the police searching area circle thingy is somewhat similar to the one that was on Scarface.

It was mentioned on one of the reviews/previews for the game. I actually like it.

[Dan]

Not being able to get out of the car while on the phone is a bitch.

[Cactus Drags]

Agreed, radio stations are horrible. It's either cheesy old rock, or RAGHRAGHRAGHRAGH hardcore punk shit. Way too much dancey and r'n'b shite.

I dislike being mown down by an entire police squadron just because I knocked over a guy who was being chased on foot by a lone cop.

[JStarr]

I haven't hardly gotten to hear any of the radio stations, since every time I'm in a car, either Niko's yammering away with someone in the car or he's on the phone.

But I am highly disappointed that Tuff Gong is ALL Marley. Seriously, are there no other reggae artists in existence? SA had a whole reggae station with no Marley at all, so I know it can be done.

And I've yet to have any problem eluding the cops, even with two stars. I am getting a jones to try something quite spectacular and see what happens with four or five.

I hate how difficult it is to aim the guns on the Annihilator.
