Vice City was 'rumored' to be a mmorpg, as well as Gta SA. Don't get your hopes up.
By the way, if it is a mmorpg, the game would suck even more. Before getting all crazed over the concept, think about 100's people aimlessly walking around looking for someone to kill and, when they do, aimlessly blowing eachother up (with GTA's gameplay
) without any regards to doing anything constructive.
In the love of being off-topic, here I go with GTA online.
Hey, theres a guy over there.
*rocket launcher fires*
Yay, he's dead. Oh, shit, a dude over there with dual tek9's.
*dies*
*spawns*
Hey, lets find that dude and blow him up.
*run over by police car*
*spawns again*
*run over again by oponent on bicycle*
*spawns*
Ok, lets get into a building.
*plane crashes into building entrance and player dies*
*spawns*
K I'm gonna get my jetpack on.
*jetpack equipped*
Ha ha ha, die ants!
*fires away blindshots at an online opponent who is walking around aimlessly looking for someone to kill in a different city*
*sniped down by a camper who no one can get to because he is standing atop a skyscraper with one acessible doorway*
*spawns*
Hey, I'm in the desert now? Well, lets get into a vehicle and find where the 'action' is.
Hmm, theres no cars here on this county road. I'll just sprint to the city.
*10 minutes pass*
*city comes into focus*
*walks into city from a highway entrance*
*running along highway street*
Hey, there are two guys shooting eachother 5 inches away from eachother. Now they are both dead. That was fast and pointless. This is fun!
*takes rocket launcher from corpse*
Lets get into that airplane!
*gets into airplane and flies into the sky*
Wow, there is absolutely nothing to do up here. This is so cool. Let's crash down hoping to kill one of the online opponents who are in this pointlessly awesomely huge state.
*crashes*
Darn, no luck there. I only got 5 random npcs who were drinking beer and smoking smack. Now I have a 2 star wanted level.
*spawns in a building*
Ok, now where the fug am I now? Oh crap, it's a police station! I have my 2 star wanted level!
*exits repetitive building interior while flinching from the bullets*
Wow there is a guy standing there running around looking for someone to kill. Let's snipe him in a sweet fashion!
*snipes player on the shoulder 15 times within 1.622^0.12 seconds*
*Player turns around.
Holy shoot, he's still alive and changing his guns rapidly. He's gonna get his rocket launcher I bet!!
I better run for cover behind that car.
*car explodes from rocket launcher blast*
Yay I'm still alive. Lets auto-lock onto him with my desert eagle and shoot him.
*rocket launcher opponent gets run over by a motorcycle*
Hey, who's that random dude on the bike? Is he an NPC or an actual online player?
*fires desert eagle at motorcycle dude with R2 lock on*
No luck, this gun has a bad accuracy radius and I can't auto lock on people who are more than 10 feet away from me. Why don't I attept to aim at him with L1! that should be fugging kickin'.
*run over by a garbage truck*
WTF! That was so not fair and fucking so action packed!! I was ready to pop a cap in his arse! Let's get back at him and make him regret that!
*spawns in ghetto hood*
Are any of these gangsters online opponents or npc's? Let's walk up to one of them and press d-Up to communicate with one of them by saying "my guns are bigga than yo's bitch".
*Killed by gangbang*
Oops, I was in the wrong 'hood'. I forgot this was the 1980's.
*spawns in same street*
Oh shoot, I'm gonna die!
*attempt to fire submachine gun at gangsters, but player can't move while firing smg, so player dies*
Dangnabbit! stupid smg! I forgot my player cant move while holding an automatic weapon which you hold with 2 hands.
*spawns in small town outside of the 67th city*
Hey, lets kill people here. Oh, wait, I am online. I should be randomly killing other people. It almost felt like I wasn't online! This is so nex-gen and hella entertaining!
*gets into a car and drives towards one of the cities*
Finds an online opponent walking the streets with an M4.
*He says "Yo, I'm roleplaying as an NPC. I'm walking to the grocery store over there and I'm gonna pretend like I'm buying grocerys, but then i'm gonna rob the place and eat the food at one of my 6 houses so I can raise my health! I'm so cool. Don't Kill me! Go kill someone else!"* The opponent says.
Wow, that looks like hella fun! "Can I join you? I'll bring a van!!!"
*"Opponent replies "No, Bitch. I told you to leave me alone! I'm gonna shoot you now!"*
Oh no! Let's switch to my bestest gun, my grenade launcher!
*mowed down by opponent's M4*
That was awesome! I talked with an online opponent! Let's get into a boat and caress the water with my uber watercraft skills!
*gets into fishing boat*
Wow, this is leet! Now I can roleplay as a fisherman! Let's pretend like I'm fishing.
*stands by side of boat*
OOH! I got a bite!
*wiggles joystick*
Yay, a catch!
*gets off of boat and back onto land*
MMM, I'm hungry, let's get into a food store.
*Get's into the "Our Sausages are bigger than yours!" restaurant*
Oh, what a witty food-servicing-company name. I feel so naughty and hoodlum-ishly bitchin'.
*gets blown up by a grenade because an online opponent had the store under his hood's turf control*
Wow, I had like .675^.8 seconds to respond to that! This game is so full of awesum 'mmo' gameplay! It almost feels like I'm in a real city with real stuff to do as a smack-talking gang-star!
*round over*
I bet no one read that.
What thread am I in again?
