Well, if you're not a fan of San Andreas, then this forum is not for you I don't believe he said anything about not being a fan of SA and even if he isn't who cares?

Well, he was complaining about the SA fans, so I kinda figured he wasn't one himself. But I can see he may just be tired of hearing how much they like SA over IV.
They need to understand IV wasn't trying to be everything SA was in every way. This thread shouldn't have pointed to IV as the culprit, it's just the latest one in the series, and it's missing some stuff people enjoyed in past installments, for better or worse. And I totally agree, some of the past features would look completely out of place in IV, like the fart and burp button

THE TANK! How did I miss that one?

Wasn't there also Dual Wielding for the UZI? May be thinking of a different game...

I was driving the Phantom tractor truck past a truck trailer in IV and remembered, "weren't you able to attach one of those to the truck in the original top down GTA?" That jogged my memory and I started recalling a whole list of missing features I remember from past GTA games: Attachable Truck Trailers Tow Trucks Car Mod Shop Jets and prop planes Harrier jet / VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) Jetpack Police Bribes Flame Thrower ElectroGun (GTA2) Gym that changed your physical appearance BUY property Large Desert (SA) Railway (SA)(Metro doesn't count) Instant Death by Water Did I miss any? Would be nice if someone on the Dev Team saw this and brought a few of these back Added later: Tank Controlling the train Bicycles RC missions (remote control cars/planes) Indoor Garages Running Bus routes (GTA2) Weapons spawns added outside your hideout as rewards for collecting secret packages Fart and burp button Loading Screens Domeux added: Recruit gang members to follow you Taking over gang territory Chainsaws GTASAIDEAMASTER added: Pizza Diving and exploring under water Katanas, dildo Police Station interiors Police on police bikes Different Police uniforms in each city/borough Countryside Jetski asitsaysinthebook added: Wider range of clothes Metzger added: Purchasing businesses (can't remember if these were different from buying regular property) Flamethrower and Silenced 9mm Burglary missions Stealth kills with a knife (pretty sure I saw this at the beginning of GTA IV, but can't replicate)

Attachable truck trailer?

Not something that particularly amused me...did you put them to a more practical use or something?

Car Mod Shop?

I do miss this, but I prefer Saints Row's version. It's a bit of a pain spending money and time on the car, then seeing it go up in flames up after one or two crashes with nitrous oxide OR flipping. Got to say that GTA's nitrous is much better than SR's.

Railway SA?

Useful for fast travel, but the noise and vibration was rather annoying when I had visitors and couldn't stick the control pad up my ass.

dual wielding certain weapons.

1. Tow trucks were hell lot of fun in SA, especially when you make a road train out of it.
2. The freedom of choosing exactly what outfit you wanted. IV simplified things a bit too much in my opinion.
3. Actual garage. The parking lots in IV are honestly a joke. Bring your wanted level too high and you won't even want to get close to your house because your cars might get blown. I know garages aren't gonna happen in downtown, but at least give us access to one of the more luxurious houses. (Heck, Jimmy's house has working garage doors that opens when you get close to it)

TBH I'm not too fond of car mod shops, they end up gathering dirt in a garage anyway since I'll likely prize them so much and cars blow up so easily in GTA world.

I find it hilarious how this thread is about missing features from old GTAs, but most people only list SA's features!

[MikeMyth]

Ooh. This is gonna be fun. I miss beaches, from San Andreas, there was the boardwalk and where people walk, and there are sometimes there on the beach. Sure you have the place at Hove Beach, but that doesn't compare to San Andreas' beach areas. I actually lived in New York, and I know it's not the most popular place where you would expect beaches with a bunch of people walking and chilling on the beach. But it actually is. Another thing that I miss is the forests, it looked kinda cool in SA, and allowed the devs to add "myths" like Bigfoot in the Back o' Beyond in Sa.

[CruZZ]

It'll be interesting to go through this list after finishing V and see how many (if any) of these features make a comeback

[CruZZ]

Looks like Jets and Bicycles are back

[CrazyRaisin]

I miss varied locations.

Sick of just the "sh*t horribly ran corrupt city"

San Andreas city was much better, especially the desert, loved just driving a trailer tuck and seeing how long until I kill myself or destroy the truck

[OGIamLoco]

What, nobody misses ambulance and firetruck missions?
As frustrating as they were I wouldn’t mind seeing them back in some form.

Can't believe I missed those.

Now imagine if they had Tow Truck Missions....
Guess that's pretty much what you did for Brucie
