when the guy gets road rage from getting into an accident with the player and brings a pipe wrench to try and brain the guy felt very lore accurate to florida.
the first pistol whipping in video 3 wasn't very clean visually, but that's a new sort of mechanic. kinda reminded me of rdr2, tbh. same with picking up the security guard's hat and popping it on.
like im not gonna buy this game because fuck R* for their treatment of workers and anti-union shit, plus im sure it will be monetized out the ass with microtransactions, and theyll probably be huge a-holes about the PC port or ever letting it work on linux without full kernel access for their anti-cheat/surveillance monitoring.
but i gotta admit that seeing the little +2 improved focus ding for shooting hoops in the front yard would be all id need to max out my focus (whatever it is) before even doing a single mission. as soon as the gym opened up in GTA:SA i stopped doing everything else until my dude was jacked to the max. both so my punches were lethal and because it made me look disturbing in the cutscenes. used to crack me up when tenpenny or his partner would poke my completely yoked chest and talk down to me despite my guy looking like a completely juiced meat head that could suplex a fridge. the muscle/body stuff and the changeable fighting style mechanic were sorely missed by me.
in GTA:V i maxed out my "special ability" immediately for michael by obsessively doing yoga in the backyard lol.
i love all that stupid side shit for stats and weird cosmetic crap.
I wheelied on a bicycle uninterrupted for approximately a million years to get the biking stat maxed out. Barely used a car the entire game because CJ had the immortal haunches.
i thought they already had the pistol whipping in GTA V (it also existed since gta 3 but no one used because it fucking sucked iirc).
Lets not forget the ceo guys at rockstar were close buddies with Epstein.
they did, but it was like... less dramatic than this? it was more of a quick stun, like afterthought melee when you were armed and the target was up close. just a quick overhand klonk on the dome. this looked like an intentional animation with a camera angle change and like honestly more violent because it's like you're smashing the target in the face from the side. the pistol whip in V wasn't like the other melee weapon moves in GTAV where if you were the right distance or approaching from behind it did like a 1 shot kill animation.
i was kind of obsessed with finding all the kill strikes for all the melee weapons. the machete was pretty dirty as were the small knives, like the switch blade which had its own fun little deploy/put away animation.
Yeah. I think the camera thing is also something they probably took from max payne 3
