The Police in GTA V is bullshit.

I knocked out a shopkeeper (shop was empty) and cops somehow heard from halfway down the road. I have twice been arrested for using a taxi. What the hell?

  • LOL... don't tell me this is the exact same forum that has posted a zillion memes about how silly/stupid the police in prior GTA games are. So now the cops hear about crimes even if it's not directly in their line of sight, are excellent shooters, and are corrupt as all hell. Sounds realistic to me. What more do you people want?

    • Unfortunately, I have to agree. It's alright, but not very good. You always seem to get stars for the most ridiculous reasons. Recently, I was playing and hit someone with a stun gun in the middle of the night and near no one else and somehow got 2 stars for it. Needless to say, I was very confused.

      So I just tried to go on a police killing spree. Yeah, that didn't last long. I'm convinced that the whole system is broken. It's just not fun at all. It's not even challenging or fair; it's just cheap how broken the police are in the game. Here are a few more problems. For one, your character takes way too little damage. You die like with 6 or 7 shots. And body armor is pretty much useless. Two, the police are way too -blam!-ing accurate. Apparently the Los Santos police department hired expert marksman assassins as cops. They can shoot out the tires of a car going at 150 miles per hour from a helicopter that's like 500 feet in the air dealing with turbulence like it's nothing; and keep in mind that they have to actually shoot the tire portion of the wheel and not just the overall wheel. Three, their spawning mechanic is just bullshit. Take out a helicopter? Another one spawns and immediately takes its place. Kill someone in the middle of the desert with no possible witnesses? A cruiser spawns out of nowhere and finds you. It's bullshit. These things, combined with their sensitivity and psychicness make the police the most unfun thing about the game. And that's a shame because in the previous games, taking on the police (and eventually the military in the III-era games) was one of the most fun things you could do. But here, it's just total bullshit. Instead of making the police difficult and challenging by making them smarter, Rockstar took the lazy and cheap route and made them omnipotent, sensitive, hyper-accurate bastards. It's a dealbreaker for me. I rented the game, and I was prepared to buy it. But unless the police get an overhaul, that's not happening. Unless they release a PC version, because I know the modding community will fix it if Rockstar doesn't.

    • The helicopters are freaking omnipotent. They always find you and even if you shoot one down another spawns within 15 seconds

      • I like the cops, it's the only challenge I have left in the game. The difficulty makes 5 star slaughters exciting, and gives me decent training for GTA:Online.

      • As others have said Los Santos is supposed to be an analogy of LA, and we all know about the shoot first ask questions never reputation that their police force has gotten over the years. Sure it may be annoying, but GTA is all about satire, and this is a perfect example of it.

      • The real problem is gang violence. I was walking through the ghetto minding my own business. And these hoodlums pulled out guns and started follow8ng me, threatining me. Telling me I dont belong there. Then they all opened fire and I was surrounded by enemies. Cops didnt come until I started defending myself. Bullshit.

      • My biggest wish is that they don't shoot you if you don't have a weapon equipped. Running from the police through alleyways and stuff would be so much fun if they didn't try and shoot you in the neck for punching a Balla.

        • I seen a cop getting into a shootout with one of those random criminals. So thinking this was Vice City I walked up to the guy and punched him to the ground while Chops had his way with him. I got a wanted level for helping out the cops.

                Try getting away from them in a garbage truck, yeah, that wasn't fun. Actually, the only reason I got away was because I jumped the railing on a bridge and landed in the waterway.

              • I hate the fact that I'll lose their line of sight and be hiding in a random alley surrounded by dumpsters and impossible to see. And then a randomly generated car spawns right in the alley spotting me.
