Why the randomness of GTA:SA is amazing (short video)

I love this motherfucking game! Been playing non stop for the past few days. Its just sooooo damn good.

About 100 hours into the game, I finally did the pimping missions. I had no idea they were that damned fun.

Pimping in vegas = better than anything else released last year.
 
:lol :lol :lol

I haven't played SA in awhile but I've always heard about people talking about seeing plane crashes in the city etc... does anybody have any of those clips?
 
:lol

I once had a "destroy this car" mission finished early due to a plane slamming into it :D the randomness is great indeed
 
I was over a friend's house and he was playing around in SF. I told him about that bullet that spawns at that burger place and he told me he didnt know about it. I told him how to get there and he was like "cool, i get to drive a new cool car". But JUST as he got in, a fucking plane dropped out of the sky and owned his ass.

GREAT FUCKING GAME!
 
hahaha, omg, that was awesome! :lol

I had it once, was just driving around LS, when all of a sudden a plane fell out of the sky onto the offramp and into a bus in front of me. Tried to get out of my car as fast as possible (had just stolen a pretty slick sportscar) but got caught in the blasts that followed due to the high traffic density on the highway.... Man, I was like.... [Keanu Reeves]Woah[/Keanu Reeves]....

Sat there for 5 minutes until I noticed I was back at the hospital.... :D
 
Awesome clip. :lol

I had a plane crash right in front of me during my first 10 minutes of gameplay. Knocked me off my bike (and off my couch as I screamed "HOLY FUCKING SHIT DID YOU SEE THAT" at the top of my lungs) :lol
 
Had something similar happen to me...

I just got done doing like 6-7 missions without saving, had tons of ammo and was heading back to a save point. I usually reset the game when I die to keep ammo but I knew this time that there was no way I was replaying some of those missions. So I was carefully driving back to my save spot (garage in san fierro)... I came to the train tracks at minimum speed and I thought to myself "meh I can make this shit I'm almost there" so I hit the gas and right as I got on the train tracks the train pummeled right into the side of my car. I was freaking out at this point because the train was dragging my car for awhile... it caught on fire and I jumped out at just the right time but the train had caught me when I jumped and continued to drag my body until I died. I was pissed yet I laughed my ass off at the same time. :lol
 
Great video. Really bugs me that I can't get my GTA disk working properly. I load right outside Woozies casino, only to realize that the sound effects are seriously fucked up...and after a few seconds of walking I get a dirty disk error. Other games on the PS2 are working fine... :-/

Is she from the first wave of PS2s? If so, she might have to be put out to pasture.

I dunno, maybe he was trying to make a Base Jumping/Sky Diving and Crazy stunts video for San Andreas...
 
While that video was cool, it, and this thread, really misrepresents how random GTA is. The odds of getting a plan to hit you in mid air like that are one in a million. That was one of those plane crashes (which has only happened to me once in the entire game). I really don't see much randomness in the game at all when it comes to cool events. There are cops chasing other NPC's, but that's about it.

i was thinking exactly the same thing....

edit: *reads above posts* oh yeah, right.
 
I just started a mountainbike trial when a plane crashed and killed everyone. Well almost... One guy just kept rolling... He had a yellow shirt on...

When I got to Las Vegas, I saw a plane crash into a growd of black Elvii, tourists, and a cop... Excellent!
 
I got SA just a few weeks ago and I've been tearing through it. Easily my GOTY, and I didn't even like Vice City that much (can't say exactly why, bought it day it came out, but it just didn't really interest me, maybe it was the whole 80s thing I dunno), but this title has absolutely restored my faith in the series and then some. I absolutely cannot wait to see what Rockstar can do on the next-gen systems. In fact that might be the single biggest thing I'm looking forward to next-gen-wise.
 
San Andreas rocks.. I really need to get back to finishing it. Have had like 3 missions left for the past 2+ months heh. Never saw a plane crash though...
 
So in order to get rave reviews from GAFers, including "GREAT FUCKING GAME!", "greatest series ever", and "one of the greatest games ever", you make a game crawling with random bugs? Got it.

Bitter much? If someone pissed you off in another thread criticizing a game you liked unfairly or whatever maybe you should direct comment at them specifically instead of being a dickhead to people who are just talking about how they enjoy a game (yes even in spite of the "crawling random bugs") and not even talking shit about anything at all, that's just pure fuckface.

How is that a bug?

These planes randomly fall out of the sky in San Andreas. Guy next to me got crushed at the end of a difficult mission by a plane that just fell on top of him, out of nowhere. Sorta like this video.

What?
 
MarkRyan -

Seriously now brother - you've been hating on Grand Theft Auto with a passion since day one on these boards, and I don't know why. I hoped the tag would provide a dialing down of the unbridled vitriol on your part, but it hasn't worked at all. Even the Nintendo/Xbox trolls have the common decency to be somewhat entertaining in their anti-GTA screeds - you just.....hate. And hate for hate's sake is bad.

Henceforth, you are under a bishoptl® gag order preventing you from any further negative commentary re: any GTA game (yep, even the old top-down perspective ones) under pain of permaban. It's for your own good. A restriction of speech? Sure. Fascist? I hope so. Fettering of your freedoms? With some luck, yes. That backpack of tears you carry around must weigh a ton, and it can't be healthy.

Go give the business to True Crime, which actually deserves it.
 
I was referring more to the reactions of the GAFers than anything else. I don't watch someone abuse Cable in MvC2 and say, "Now that's why this game is awesome!" But okay ;) Henceforth, I will not mention GTA because I have nothing good to say about it (although the top-down games didn't have many problems).
 
That video is awesome. I unfortunetly have not been able to witness anything as cool as that yet. I haven't seen a plane crash at all actually. Bummer.

The only really cool thing I saw happened when I was swimming under a bridge. I had a bride and a groom jump to their deaths off the bridge. They almost landed on me too. That was pretty freakin funny. :)

Just be happy the gaming forum actually likes a game for once instead of making a ten page thread about how it's "unplayable crap that needs to be buried in the desert"

Yeah, that's not a bug. They randomly insert crashing planes within the player's surrounding environment.
