Mta

Stands for Multi Theft Auto.

'tis much fun, as is an online version of San Andreas (albeit only the racing part for now)

Any of you ever played it? You will need th full game, and a mod to replace the .exe but its simple stuff and muchly worth it.

Cept those damn planes!!!

Re: Mta

The original GTA did multiplayer too. You're so 1998.

Theres a fair number of rocks that would do a better job inside your skull by the sounds of it.

How is this neccesary? What was the point Leshy? Sh*ts and giggles? My contribution is to start a discussion, yours is to stifle it...who is a more worthwhile contributor in this instance

I would imagine that this is possibly the closest I'm going to get to a discussion.

Go play GTA1 again. And then play San Andreas.


Notice anything different??

Re: Mta

Sorry for this off-topic post mr. Furious but I thought I'd give a little help when posting on GD:

1. Don't be offended so easily.
2. We've had a fair few advertising spam bots over the last year and if your original post in this thread had been your first ever post on these forums I would have thought you were an advertising spam bot too. (explaining Dace's reply)
3. Give a bit more information in your first post please. If noone on here has played it then it's a bit of a conversation stopper.

I've not heard of MTA actually so a bit more of a review would be handy, or a link to a review online elsewhere.

I hope this is a nice enough response that will enable your GD experience to be much more friendly in future

Re: Mta

Thanks for the advice.

I dont know whether to be offended or not, for people to assume im a spam bot, but yeh i see the point...no im not on commision for this game, i enjoy it and thats it.

As for a review, there isnt much really as its a fairly new project. There are some comments here: http://www.download.com/Grand-Theft-...-10494652.html but apart from that its all a case of enjoying this mod and then waiting for the full game mod to come out (which i think is heading to be clan wars over the different territories, king of the hill style)
Can be a tad glitchy, but there are some really ingenius tracks (down a bobsleigh run in a dinghy anyone?). There are only two worthwhile servers though, for UK...not sure for the rest of you. If you already have GTA then its a fine addition, if not then its perhaps better to wait for the full multiplayer mod to kick off, as that may be some time away.

Re: Mta

As one of the GD mods, I'd like to confirm Ste's comments and to request you stop being nasty to Leshy, as he's a delicate little chap who tends to cry if you say anything nasty to him, especially if it in any way detracts from the godly oh my goodness it's so lovely piece of software that is Opera.

Other than that, I was going to ban you for advertising, but I'd have to check if Jolt supports this mod, if they do, then anything goes and we're all on the same side/team/goat.

Re: Mta

Opera is a way of singing, n00b

I don't know about Jolt's support, but my Richard Scary's First Book of Moderating GD says you have 24 hours to find out before I ban you for advertising.

Does a simple modding team have an advertising budget.

I aint here to take sh*t.

ofc the alternative is that you simply do your job and look at my post history, which will confirm that i enjoy playing PA, and have had many constructive contributions, which differentiates me from an ad spammer. Is it such a shock to have a seperate interest to PA in the gaming world, and wanting to share that with the community?

The community on here has developed over a few years and most of us don't play PA any more.

To become part of any forum on the Internet it's usually a good idea to lurk a bit and find out what the general atmosphere of the forum is before launching yourself full out into the community without understanding if there are any unwritten rules etc.

Part of territory of GD is that everyone gets insulted, the ones that overreact will just get insulted more until they burst a blood vessel or leave.
We don't want overly sensitive, easily offended types on here.
Those that roll with the punches, know when to give up and generally see the funny side of everything, fit in a lot better than those who complain about the neg rep they get, cry when they get the piss taken out of them and don't know how to take a joke.

It's not being hostile, it's being the same to everyone - regulars and newcomers.

Post some decent threads that encourage discussion (that haven't already been done to death), get involved in existing discussions and provide some amusing material and very soon you'll have a string of green blobs as long as anybodies

Richard Scary has written a whole host of different books on a variety of topics, ranging from basic transportation to advanced Internet techniques and guidelines.
Think of him as the creator of the 'Idiot's Guide to...' except with a different name.

We're very lucky to have Richard as a sponsor and advisor to these forums. Without his guidance, we'd be in a right old mess.

I dont consider myself easily offended, merely "principled".
Its interesting to see the PD side of things begging for new blood, whereas GD laugh it off.

Or maybe its more of a vicious circle.

If i dont bitch and whine about being bitched and whined about then maybe nobody has anything to bitch and whine about.

Bitch and whine...wasnt that Cliff Richard???

It's a little top down freeform piece of nonsense, but it's superior to GTA:SA. San Andreas has some of the worst missions of the series for the "random death near the end of a long boring sequence" problem, coupled with the fact that at least in the other ones you can generally steal something decent early on. If I'm going to treat the game as a sandbox, then I want a decent car to tear about the town with. Or one of the superbikes from Vice City. If I wanted to tear around a town in a 1980's piece of crap then I could do that in real life. Plus the control system is nonsense, and "creating a world in which you can do anything you like" does not mean "create a ****load of annoying minigames".

If you play the GTA games for storytelling, you're wrong in the head, and improved graphics are nice but only really necessary when they solve a technical limitation on the ability of the game to model certain situations, or provide a limit to immersion. For example, the technological improvements from Half Life to Half Life 2 were important, as they provided increased realism in, say, the faces of people around you, not to mention the improved interactivity from the Havok engine. Quake II to Quake IV was less notable, as in that improved explosions were just for improved explosions' sake.

An act of standup comedy can have a good script, it doesn't mean it has a good, or any, storyline. Do try to actually reply to what was being said.

Once again, potentially, yes. But I find the third person/cutscene dynamic which is used within the GTA3 series to be much more hazardous to immersion than was obviously prepared for. An attempt is made at immersion, and it falls flat;

If I'm going to throw money away, I'd rather do it on things which weren't so objectionable in between said explosions. Die Hard III, for instance.

As an aside, I checked on Amazon for Quake IV a few moments ago. The Special Edition, £49.99, is being sold for £9.99. Oh dear.

You aint getting me on a technicality matey...Script leads to storyline therefore for GTA:SA to have a good storyline, it needed a good script. YOU are the one that doesnt seem to be replying.
Again: Why am i wrong in the head for enjoying the good script/story that...again countless others enjoyed

The control system is intuitive and very responsive, to the point that it has spawned a racing game mod (!) My only gripe would be with certain camera angles, but with it being free-look anyway for the most part this doesnt matter. Additionally the flying sections are realistic more than anything, Beginners get pwnd, however practice and you become a good pilot. Theres even a flying school to improve your skills ffs!

You are either referring to a very insignificant part of the game, i.e. the transition between cutscene and game. Or you are generalising across the whole gameworld, if that is the case then i see that "proplem" persist in most 3D games, which would leave you playing..............frogger.
I cant respect the opinion of someone who plays Frogger.

I prefer UT anyway...and am eagerly awaiting UT 07. Im sure littlebert is more than willing to defend the Quake series, what with the numerous UT Vs Quake discussions we've had.

Can i assume you are referring to the person that agrees with my side of the discussion? How would having someone agree with me cost me any sort of credibility. More to the point....does this credibility in any way allow me to execute my arguments better? If not then im really not too bothered.

The fact that you refer to the post as retarded....well there is a view expressed in said post (on a board designed for that same purpose). Therefore your own post is infinitly more pointless, and dare i say retarded in its own sense.

But i suppose its all just an opinion eh AnotherSlayer?

Widely regarded? Who by? The only time I looked at reviews and things for the game was before and just after it came out while I was still playing it, they all seemed to like it. Most people I know who played the game enjoyed it too.

I also liked it, although it took a while to actually get good at it, I had a ridiculous amount of free time then and it was enjoyable effort. I also never found the control system irritating.

You expressing your opinion about a game is all fine and dandy and enjoyable to read, but the "widely regarded" bit certainly made me

Re: Mta

I like how people like Mark express their opinions as if it's the objective view of the whole forums it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside

And by the way GTA1 was all well and good 8 or so years ago but it's actually pretty crap now. I played it recently and got bored within about 20 minutes. Admittedly I haven't played the multiplayer since I was 15 or so though, so maybe it's really really amazing and I'm being terribly unfair to it.

they are two completely different things. It would be like saying a film starring a good actor makes it a good film. A good performance can make a bad film seem not too terrible and a bad performance can ruin a potentially good film.

A good actor does not make a good film. A good script does not make a good storyline.

Re: Mta

Burst my bubble....

Either way I am a bot, i have visited numerous forums today and i cant understand why the good people at http://www.equestrianpages.com/forum are now ripping it around the streets of San Andreas blowing holy hell out of each other whilst the war mongering PA bunch are piffling over the graphical excellence of Quake 2, how to fly a plane, and a 10 year old multiplayer.


Amazing.

Ok...rather than edit my original post to say "storyline" ill leave it at script. I meant storyline, i typo'd, k?

I do however think both the script and storyline for GTA:SA are excellent

GD is one of the most meritocratic societies in the world. We can all see if he fits in without allowing him to make a complete tit of himself in a pointless thread.

Hold right up sonny.

Who are you to decide whether the thread has value?

I was having a great discussion with MrL_JaKiri before he/she/it b*ggered off.

To return: the point of the thread is to spread awareness of MTA, and perhaps get someone to play it agaisnt me!

Now thats done (as im sure ive assualted your senses long enough with what I would believe to be valauble) then sure, close, bin, burn thread to hearts content!

Not really, no. I now have no idea what you are on about.

I challenged your statment that good script=good storyline. I was not making a direct statement towards the game. I was referring to your incorrect assumption.

I do however think both the script and storyline for GTA:SA are excellent[/quote]

this could be true, but has nothing to do with what I said.

Re: Mta

A good script will equate to a good storyline. You do need a good script for a good story.

Your earlier analagy compared two very different things:

Actor to Storyline
Script to Storyline

An Actor can play with the script to achieve a better or worse storyline (ad lib/quality of acting) Therefore actor is a variable over the base of the storyline, which is the script.

Without a good script, it would take one hell of an actor to make a good story.

And, to finish as my original comments were centered around a medium that features only voice actors there is only so much variation that can be in effect when the form of acting has been limited to oratory.

You don't have a discussion per se with MrL, you have a series of replies with him where your belief in what you were saying gradually decreases until he either dismisses everything you say as 'wrong' or simply changes the subject.

I think the skill he brings then is that it very much feels like a discussion.

Re: Mta

It feels like a discussion because it's the first time you've talked to him. Wait until you go through the same process a few times and then see how 'enjoyable' your discussion is then...

Re: Mta

personally this whole thread is very enjoyable to me! I dont think other contributers are quite getting the same smug sense of achievement though.

well yes, you started this thread offering your opinion on a game modification, seeing as it is your opinion that is under debate, your credibility is going come into it.

But i suppose its all just an opinion eh AnotherSlayer?
well you asked a question (perhaps a hypothetical one), "what are buddies for" and I answered it.. so you could consider my reply to have "a point"

your "buddy" simply made a statement agreeing with you, and not really making any sort of interesting argument or actuall commentary on the game itself, so is in a way you could say it was "Quite pointless"

Like i say...its all opinion. The only noteable thing you say is to question my credibility. Ive been on these boards 5minutes my friend, its good that you already view me as credible.

Im truly touched.

script
2. a manuscript or document.
3. the text of a manuscript or document.
4. the manuscript or one of various copies of the written text of a play, motion picture, or radio or television broadcast

the plot (i.e. the storyline) and the words spoken by the characters (i.e. the script) are separate things. One can be good and one can be awful. A good storyline does not necessarily prevent the script from being cheesy and bland. Just as well written dialogue does not make a plot any better. It can make it a bit more tolerable but that's about it.)
