They have no incentive to fix it because most of the faggots who obsess over GTA couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. The less the audience knows about something, the less they care about its accuracy. As soon as you achieve proficiency in something, its misrepresentation in fiction starts driving you up the wall.

>characters in desert at "night" (clearly after noon with a blue filter)

>revolver pointed at the back of someone's head

>trite and "witty" one-liner

>GUNSHOT, FADE TO BLACK

>brass clinking on concrete

This kind of shit kills me inside. The game has declined sharply since San Andreas, which underlines the decline in society in general. Though perhaps now, you might call it a soyciety, given how seemingly everything has devolved.

You might want to add that in Ballad of Gay Tony they added Cage Fighting, but here's the thing anon, there's little to no incentive adding hand-to-hand combat and melee weapons when most of the gameplay, in extension the online multiplayer milking is fixed on guns and vehicles.

>>15119472

Yeah i remember that.The cage fighting was my favourite thing to do in the ballad of gay tony

cheers

>>15119447

i agree

>>15119483

i also forgot Chinatown wars.

Game had pretty hand to hand combat.Powerful Kicks,fast punching,nice combos.

>>15119483

So if they ever try back and make fisticuffs more useful in future games, then they need to make it essential in the game like what Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs did, but that would be trivializing the gunplay, so all I can see them possibly do in the future is to add something like Cage Fighting with MMA.

>>15119499

Yeah,i always figured if they did a really good amazing meele system it would be through a DLC following the story of a mma figther(or problably former mma figther) to justify it.

Still the hand to hand in GTA was all over the place,they go from giving you plenty of styles to fight with in San andreas(karate,boxing,dirty fighting,straight up brawling) to a complex counter system in Gta4 just to fuck it all up in GTA 5 and remove tons of the hand to hand combat aspects(i dont think you can even block and you have like two counters,pluts its all random)

Is CJ learning jew-jitsu in OP pic?

>>15119423

They can't really fix the melee combat because it all depends on the protagonist, of course victor and niko's games would have great melee, they're soldiers after all.

>>15119549

>>15119472

Yet Sleeping Dogs had excellent melee combat, on top of all the other shit it did better than GTA.

>>15119634

I should give that another playthrough

>>15119549

He's learning karate.

Basically you get:

>Boxing in first city,which gives you a big ass punching combo(aldo you obviously can make tons of other combos like 1-2 1-2 e.t.c) and ground and pound

>Second city (op pic) gives you one roundhouse kick,one side kick,one spinning kick,one jumping kick(can make other shorter combos if mixing punches in)

>Third city,kick to the balls+clinch and knees+ elbow plus a knockout punch and good stomps

>Brawling is mostly Haymakers,but you get a straight punch front kick combo that will be permanently replaced once you learn a style

>>15119634

Hand to hand combat in that game was 10/10,they even included a clinch system with plenty of throws+ tons of environmental kills

>>15119552

But CJ was an untrained street thug and the way they solved this was by adding dojos and gyms so the character could improve in a realistic way

>>15119597

Yes.Just visit the gyms and go talk to the trainer's,then you will have to fight them and once you do(you have to win) they will teach you their fighting style.

>>15119634

Because it was hard to get hold of guns in that game, so naturally you had to focus on hand-to-hand combat and melee weapons.

>>15119561

My sides

>>15119472

>give everyone 9999 rounds of ammo for nearly all guns

Pretty much no need for melee thanks to the absurd ammo pools for the player. They should have kept the pool far lower to promote accuracy and conservative means of fighting, such a MELEE.

Street fighting is something I love to do in GTA.

If anybody is having problems with the hand to hand combat in liberty city stories:

>Double punch combo press o

>In order for you to continue and not go for the broken body hook you must click o almost exactly when you finish the punches(like 0.5 seconds later,than:

>Keep that timing up(pressing o when you finish a strike)

>Front kick to - head kick to headbut(headbut if the opponent still has health left which he rarely does)

Bump tbh

>>15119811

>limiting ammo drops in the one GTA game that gives you a fucking AA12 with explosive rounds and a famas/p90 hybrid

No thanks.

>>15119634

Hell yeah, i still go back to that game and do the random fighting clubs all around the city, i love how there's a few costumes that give you a whole new moveset, like muay thai, drunk style and boxing, most people shit on the combat for being a batman arkham/asscreed rip off but unlike those games sleeping dogs has combos and grapples, it's like all these idiots do is mash square and triangle

>>15120013

GTA 5 is shit.

Yeah in GTA 4 fighting took skill,it was also very realistic,you could beat up maybe 2/3 people at the same time in the best possibility,more than that and you were done.

>>15119634

Sleeping Dog's melee combat was shit. It was throw some attacks then counter the enemy when they glow

BRIGHT RED

There was never anything more to it. Enemies only attacked one at a time, so you didn't worry about positioning or spacing.

The better GTA like for melee combat is Saints Row 2. Your sprint is actually reasonably fast and disrupts aim enough that it's actually frequently viable to rush an enemy in a zig-zag instead of shooting them, especially because enemies won't fire when their allies are right next to you. This is especially true during missions when you're indoors and had lots of obstacles to work with.

Gta SA/4=Best

>>15119423

As long as retards keep paying for it, it does not need to change.

>>15120129

>Yeah in GTA 4 fighting took skill,it was also very realistic

So this is how someone writes who is retarded beyond down syndrome.

>>15120370

sr2 combat was utter shit, sr3 fixed the shooting.

>>15120370

Saints Row 2 was worse in depth than GTA and Sleeping Dogs. It had different animations for different fighting styles, but it had the same combo strings.

I hated how in V everyone was just downed after one or two hits. There were more melee weapons than ever, but they were all so pointless.

Actually, all the weapon variety was pointless. Everyone has little health and all guns feel the same with no punch. Truly ironic when they give us more guns than any other GTA.

Another shitty thing that applied only to the last gen version of GTA V was how when they'd release a new DLC, you'd get all of its weapons on your character automatically in SP, even in a new just started game. And faggots out there were defending it with "just don't use them man!" (it's honestly comparable to removing recoil from CS or some other FPS game and being told if you want recoil, just shake your mouse up and down while firing it)

D

>GTA hand to hand

>In a series with a bajillion guns, cars and badass melee weapons

Like, I get that melee combat can be visceral and satisfying but the way GTA is structured there's no point. As long as wailing on people with a baseball bat feelsgoodyou don't need no fisting.

>>15125390

>you don't need no fisting.

theres no such thing has too much fisting

>>15123817

There was slight differences (The ronin style has an arch to it so it's better against multiple foes), but my point was that the actual melee combat was better due to basic game mechanics, not that each style was different.

>>15119561

>>15119778

>>15126887

Fucking kek

>>15127952

Order of quality is better.

There might be good tomahawks and knives in RDR2 unless they half ass it. I want to see them go full Glanton gang

They should rip the fighting system right out of The Warriors and slap it onto GTA.

>>15120013

Most pressingly, how long until they stop making you spam "X" to sprint?

I didnt play V but I assume its still a thing

>>15119423

>>15119634

Sadly not every game can be Yakuza.

>>15143118

looks incredibly clunky and weightless. all this dumb glowing shit, plus the generic being-hit-animation instead of properly reacting to different hits - the animations are really crap.

>>15143525

no

>>15146849

It's going to be the exact same game with a western skin and current year politics.
