Current Events > Do you ever play GTA and just casually drive around

(+) Yeah! (+)

Have a mood about it

pretty much every time i hop on GTAO i do this. eventually get shot obviously, but it's fun for a while.

Yes, except replace casually with faster and faster over time until I eventually crash spectacularly.

In the PS2 era ones, sure.

indeed.

in GTAV it's fun, just driving around, listening to music, and flipping people off.

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

The only enjoyable aspect of 4 was the ragdoll physics of hitting pedestrians with your car. I'd spend hours just running people over. Casually.

All the time.

Yes until I eventually get the urge to drive right into the ocean.

Especially vice city

this sounds pretty pathetic but a few months into covid lockdown i started up vice city and just drove around listening to the radio for a few days in a row

When I don't have anything going on and I'm waiting for friends, I mostly just drive the speed limit and stop at stop lights. It's pretty cool how functional all the traffic systems are if you actually obey them.

Literally the first thing I do is get into a fast car and see how fast I can go, ideally on an empty road but usually doing my bust ducking and weaving between cars and obstacles. With 4/5 they did the ragdoll physics so almost always ends in my death with the dude flying out the window. Is there a seat belt button I dont know about in those gta games?

I prefer to drive around in american/euro truck simulator

NPCs are people too.

Ive had this urge for the last few months

is it better to do this online or single player

This topic makes me want to reinstall.

Yeah I do this in San Andreas, it's just so fun to drive around that world

When Vice City came out I loved that the seaplane was fairly easy to fly and keep in the air. I would fly around and just listen to tunes. San Andreas was even better, with its larger variety of airplanes.

How did it feel to get out of the rain?

I remember during the ps2 era my dad wanted to play vice city but wasn't too much of a gamer. When he got a wanted level he tried blending into traffic and obeying the traffic laws and such thinking it would hide him.

I always end up driving around as if I'm obeying traffic laws. Except stop lights. If it looks clear I'm going

Yeah always have. Its one of the main reasons I still play GTA online. I just like customizing cars and driving them around listening to the radio.

I don't play GTA, but this is something I could easily see myself doing if I did. Mainly because I would be too terrified to ever just drive around like that in real life (I'm unlicensed)

I use to play Bully just to literally stand around and hang out

I absolutely adored the vibe of that game

If you do it online youre gonna have dudes coming at you on flying bikes with hellfire missiles

Loved getting a Sultan RS in GTA 4 and just ripping round the map

I liked how the front brakes would lock up at times
