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.

Ever played SR2? It has those annoying pushbacks with gangs attacking territories and you HAVE to do them.

The thing with the friends/girlfriends is it doesn't get in the way as much as people say it does.

Mokrie Dela: I don't think it's really a bug issue. People just tend to over exaggerate to try and make a point. It's been that way ever since the game came out.

Perhaps. I havnt noticed any pattern in the calls - sometimes I've had two or three in an hour/hour and a half session, other times three hours passed without any. Is it possible these people are just unlucky? I think so.
Is t possible they just want to pick faults with a fine game? Most likely

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 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.

Yes and that's one of the reasons why I quit playing GTA IV. That's why I love Red Dead Redemption alot more. Cause it has what GTA IV doesn't. Freedom and fun gameplay.

To me it just seems random. Sometimes I can also play the game for 2 hours and never get a phonecall apart from story related ones.

Friend system most def. The game gets boring without it. And i hated in GTA SA after getting to know the characters, i could never see them again without a new game.

empire system. because of it, the game never ends at any point, so you can go on and on as much as you want to..

i also think that, without empire system, vcs would suck even more with the storyline. (except storyline, the game is awesome and the graphics is best in the 3era.)

Empire System in VCS win it all day long for me.

You might need to get your eyes checked. PSP game can't have better graphics than a PS2 game.

[OmeXr]

if you mean that there is no ps2 version for vcs, then just kill yourself.. but if you are talking about the fact that ps2 version of the game taken directly from psp, then yes. but the thing is, even sa had the best quality of texture reso in ps2, they were boring.

so i m talking about that bloom/oversaturate/brigtness effect called "trails" that vcs had. vc had it too, but not as beatiful as vcs. it was pratically the enb series for psp/ps2.. also vcs have car reflections, raindrops and rain reflections that sa doesnt have.

so vcs always wins with the graphics for me..

The empire and business systems in both VCS and VC never really appealed to me. They just became tedious and repetitive for my taste.

The friend and girlfriend systems in both IV and SA always are interesting whenever activated, especially in IV. All of the disparate personalities of each friend and/or girlfriend were always intricate and most times: hilarious as hell.

The friend system was annoying in IV. Maybe have it like TLAD that you are the only one that calls them to hang out. But the VCS was one of the best. Felt a mix of San Andreas and Vice City in there. I hope V does something similar with Vice City and Vice City Stories.
