A few points that R* can consider as 'helpfull'

- The game was too much focused on being realistic rather then being fun! After a few hours it got boring. Although I loved the 'realistic' and hard way of driving cars, it had a learning curve and felt natural after a while!

- Although there's a lot of stuff going on in NY it felt as if it was TOO crowded. Why not make a game that combines a big city with an area that has a lot of flora and fauna, a great bay-area with all kinds of boats, an Island that has a pretty big city Havana-style and a desert?!... That would be awesome! So make it HUGE and bring in the variety! Not only the grey-toned smoggy city.

-Oh; and a little more variety in shops. You only had a few burger-shops in the center of town! Why not make some shops that are unique to a specific location in the game and have them have a small difference in the pricing for the same products. That makes it more attractive for people to search for the best spot to buy specific stuff!

-Airplane runway that is actually used for something! I think it's a great idea to make the airport accesible from the inside also; and it's a great way to add DLC which you can then acces by taking an airplane to the designated location. As in; you can download new 'cities' (just like Liberty City but then maybe San Francisco, London, Dubai or Idunno, and just go there by plane). You just have to put it on the HDD and BOOM! An ever growing interactive GTA world that can last this entire generation which you can expand by putting boxed expansions in stores or have people Download the expansions like DLC. That's how you can make a GTA 5 that lasts until the end and keeps selling instead of having to make another 3 GTA's for this gen!

Eehrm, that's it. I liked GTA4 a lot, but never finished it cuzz I got bored and it got repetitive! Went on to playing Metal Gear Solid 4.

1) Don't use Caps Lock.

2) They can't use real cities, that would be annoying. Maybe Vice, Liberty and San Andreas.

3) Nobody at Rockstar has an account here. Maybe you could go to the Rockstar forums (there's bound to be one) and make this thread, which has no doubt been made several hundred time.

People saying that they should make it wackier and funnier do not realize that doing that would negatively impact the storyline. I want a GTA with a mature, feature fi;m quality storyline and am willing to sacrifice some of the wacky fun of past gta games for a deeper narrative experience.

in B4 some says make it PS3 exclusive to use the full potential of blu ray.

AGREE

So it sounds like pretty much the people who posted in this thread so far hated the game for being too real and actually having a believable story this time. Unlike the previous games where I bailed on the game as soon as it got stupid. I mean I understand its a video game and all but at the same time, there is times that I don't want the wacky stuff to destroy the storyline. I am about story and GTAIV was one of the best stories this year. It was even better than MGS4. Its the same reason I didn't pick up Saints Row 2. It sound like a hot mess in a GTA styled world. But then again maybe that what some people want and why that game talks to a different audience. Some people want a more serious storyline that grips you and makes you think, while others don't care about the story and want to "f things up" til their twisted hearts are happy. I guess GTA and R* will have to figure out which one they want to do the most.

Rockstar has decided it wants to make GTA a "serious" work, which will garner praise as being high form of storytelling. The focus is on realism and so on.

My take is, if you don't like the direction of GTA, buy Saint's Row, which appears to be going the other way, and going over the top, and just pure mayhem.

 *sigh* is really that hard to realize that rockstar wanted to make a fresh start from the GTA series? THey were aiming for realism.

GTA IV was perfectly fine the way it is

-I thought Niko's story was better than CJ's. I know CJ's mom was killed but it didn't really get to me in an emotional way. But Niko's story on the other hand, I felt for that guy:)

-about all of that stuff listed, like I said, rockstar made a fresh re-start from the GTA series so thye're gonna make it entirely like GTA: SA. Besides, when was the time you saw most of that stuff in NY? Although, I do agree with you about breaking the buildings and seeing builders repair them

-More enviorment? in GTA IV, you had a few extra cities to go to although they weren't as big as the cities in GTA: SA. Back on topic about GTA V being a PS3 exclusive, there has been some talk that if GTA V is going to be created, rockstar wants to make it a PS3 exclusive because the 360's hard drive is too small and they can't work with that small space.

I thinik GTA V should have:

-Underwater swiming

-Some more activities you can do with your friends

-Date any girl you want

and uhhh.......I dunno what else

No phone Calls.
I told Roman to "Fuck Off" soo many times in GTA4.

You are getting chased by 6stars worth of cops and he phones you to see if you want to go out for dinner XD

lol
