Happy Friday GIO... I am back to talk about the highly anticipated return of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. This blog has been in the works for at least two weeks with the help of another GIO blogger.. xking595x. It has been something we have been kicking around to pass the time at work. As the title dictates the list will be short and mostly hope full ideas so try not to bash our silliness.
I. Soundtrack is Key!!!
We firmly believe that Vice City still has the best soundtrack, call us crazy... we don't care. The music itself was fun and a little cheesy. Now talk radio is equally important. Take GTA3 for example, that game has amazing talk radio. I want chatterbox back d*mmit! Give me Lazlo and bad interviews. And i am not talking that stupid "Lazlo Street Interviews" i'm talking ChatterBox and bad commercials. Our final request is QUEEN! There had better be at least one QUEEN song in this game. How fun would it be to kill some one, steal their car and hearing "Another one Bites the dust"... Ironic? or Fate? Either way they shouldn't have cut me off.
II. Cameos
I love cameos. Anyway you can twist in other gaming experiences i think is all important. GTA is fairly good at this task. In GTA SA they threw us a bone and delivered us Claude and Catalina.. Only to say they were taking off to a place called Liberty City! In Liberty City stories we got Salvatore. What we would like to see is the epic return of Woozy and CJs casino. Or at best make the casino itself accessible. Also where the hell is 8-Ball!? lets have him comeback and work a couple demo jobs for us! If Claude can go to Liberty why can't 8-Ball come to Cali? Another great cameo would be Wei Shin... before you play him in Sleeping Dogs he admits to being in America and even having California connections... hmm... but more realistically would be a cameo from Max Payne. This is what i would like to call the RockStar factor... at the end of MP3 he is chillaxin on the sunny beach.. who is to say it aint California... CAMEO!!!!!
III. Clothes or Apparel
Yes i realize this one is a little silly. This is definitely more per my request then xking595x. I again do not care. Huge problem with GTA4 is that you have so much money but you really can't spend it on anything. To reference sleeping Dogs again(i know.. i luv it) there are literally clothing stores everywhere. Hell you even get an achievement for buying clothes! I like customizing my character... what i would wear today... nothing if i don't d*mned well feel like it!!
IV. Choose Your Weapons
Big thing for us in GTA is our weapons. Sometimes i just want to beat the crap outta somebody and sometimes i want to blow their house up. Depends on the job and my mood. This being the year of the bow we recommend having a real bad *ss compound bow. It is an amazing silent weapon. If your stuck in a tight spot why wouldn't you want to put an arrow through someones chest. Rockstar has confirmed that in GTAV bigfoot will be hiding in the woods. I can see it now... i am slowly stalking him, i find him all nestled in the VINEWOOD sign. I pull out my Bow and .... HEADSHOT! Also we would love to have some Easter Egg weapons.. just hidden around scattered for those who know their power. I call to the stand the DOUBLE A12 w/ Explosive Rounds from The Ballad of Gay Tony... theres a weapon with some hair on it's chest. I go back to 8-Ball... i want to just be able to go by his place and buy explosive... after all this is America.. Geez.
V. Vehicles and Simulated Realism
We care about our cars... i mean not enough to buy them but if i really love a car i will steal it and go save it in my garage. Thanks to GTA i have had the honor to drive some of the best cars on the road. We fully expect the realism of GTA4 where you beat the car to Sh*t and instead of exploding it slowly rumbles to a stop. I also believe the enviorment should be fully capable of destruction. If i crash my car into the police headquarters i would hope that it would still be there tomorrow. And please bring back the FBI Kuruma from GTA3, I'm not talking that sh*tty flat black one. I am talking about the real deal FBI glossy Kuruma. We worked so hard to steal it so long ago, it deserves a spot in my coming garage.
That GIO... is our dream... is it to much to ask.. time will tell. We are counting down the days this month till release day. I am severely hoping to have my faith restored in GTA... as i did not like GTA SA... i know, i know... i have heard it all before. Let us pray that GTAV will overall be a great game and fun to play. Cause that's all we can really ask for.
Thanks for reading!!!!!
