Uhh....I believe the empire system is actually in VCS.

[cammi]

Whoops, I made a stupid.

[0909090]

This seems like comparing totally different things....anyways I think empire system in vcs is best.

[Senex Iunior]

The assets in VC; the only thing on this list that wasn't just downright annoying at some point. They had their own strands, made a fair bit of cash, etc.

-Although girlfriends weren't a "requirement"... HELENA. F*ckin' bitch.

-The empire system had to be completed all at once or else you'd be mobbed endlessly by gang attacks. By extension, that was the same problem with gang territories in SA.

-HEY NIKO WANT TO GO BOWLING. Sleep mode didn't shut them up. Worst part of IV.

[universetwisters]

I have no Idea how you could compare friends to running a business to dating . Thats like me asking if guns or prostitutes are better.

[ShenLong Kazama]

I'd say Girlfriends and Businesses. But the friend system in GTA IV is pretty annoying, let's go bowling, no and you get a thumbs down.

[Cosmic Gypsy]

You can't really compare the friends system with the empire system. Silly poll.

Accept activity + call back to cancel= no thumbs down.

It's just plain annoying. Why should we have to do that every 20 minutes?? That was one of the worst things in GTA IV.

[XTREME0235]

Edited the poll to say 'Empire System - VCS' instead of 'LCS'.

[_GTAFREAK_]

The Empire system, yeah.
It's the coolest thing in VCS, to me... GTA V even deserves something like this to be implemented, along with the drug trading from CTW.

The perfect mix.

I guess I don't find it that annoying.

the friends system from IV. It added a lot of depth to the game, it told us much of Roman and Niko's back story, and that of other characters. Dwayne's sob-story, LJ's outlook on life - these tiny things made the game.
The "annoying" phone calls are blown way out of proporting. In 4 years i've not got them more often than once, maybe twice per session.it helped the sense of immsersion, that these people were there and not just appearing in missions magicaly.

The empire and assets system from VC/S was cool, but required too much work. It also ended up with giving us so much money, there was nothing to do with it. SA's system for GFs was annoying, waiting outside their house all day for them to be in... then "bad dates" - though not all bad, we got to hear Rage Against the MAchine!

Agreed. I've owned the game on PS3 and 360 yet the rate they call is about the same. It's incredibly exaggerated.

I like it for the reasons you described. It adds so much depth that goes beyond the cutscenes.

I don't really understand why friends system in GTA IV annoys people so much. I mean as Mokrie Dela said, it explains backgrounds of characters which gives them life other than just mission presence. If you don't like to go out when don't f*cking go out then. Is it really that hard to just press a couple of buttons and deny the date?

I think some people's game bugs out a little, and the calls come more often - that's the only explanation i can think of. I can see how it can get annoying, but yeah i feel that people do over react. I read one user claiming he got a call every 20 seconds.. yeah right. The truth is people cant be assed to press cancel, and expect the game to buckle to their whims.

I get calls every 20 minutes asking to go bowling. I think it was the most BS feature everyone is GTA. If it ruins my fun gameplay than I'm not going play the game.

I'd understand if it forced you to go on dates. No, you're complaining that all you need to do is press a goddamn button.
