If it is on the PC, see if you can get it fixed with a .DLL file or something else on the GTA Forums.

There's 99% chance that it's a bug where you have to pause-unpause the game several times to make the mouse panning work, among many other things.

I'll definitely try it again once I get a new laptop, since my old one's pretty much dead.

I remember special spawn cars.

I still farm the blue and yellow Sandkings every once in awhile. I can fill a garage in a few minutes, and each one is around 17K, so it’s worth doing occasionally.

There's also a very creepy thing I found from TV Tropes. So in San Andreas, in the mission Reuniting the Families, you can get out of the motel and explore the entire city. The triggers for Peds are off, so it's essentially a ghost town.

But if you go a little further into the woods, there's a dead policeman, in the middle of nowhere.

I haven't found it myself, but I will post it if I eventually get it.

That, I'm not sure... All I am hearing so far is that Rockstar is focusing too much on GTA Online and we are not getting a lot of single-player stuff. Maybe we can still hope!

They did add the new online radio stations to single-player.

I've played GTA 2, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and tried out GTA 5.
GTA 2 wasn't honestly the best game I've played, but the fact that the main protagonist works for all three gangs in each district is strange. It's also weird how all three gang bosses attempt to kill the character with the strongest weapons. Like the flamethrower, once you are lit, you will die.
GTA Vice City was awkwardly boring for me after a while. My friend told me they worked on the game for 9 months. This is probably real as many animations were reused from GTA 3.
GTA San Andreas is my childhood along with many things. At first, fitting into the gangster life, doing dirty jobs in the countryside, racing and boating in the bay infiltrating ships, and living casino life were not easy. But as I grew, I've started paying attention to details, and most importantly, the storyline.
It makes me sad how Ryder's character ended up. Really. Just because Eazy-E told rockstar to f@ck off because he was working on his album at the time of development. This is why Ryder doesn't have many voice lines. I'm pretty sure Ryder's character could have ended like Big Smoke or a Ballas shooting him in the Green Sabre, which would motivate the player to find and kill Melvin Harris. Or he could have survived, like CJ, but "exiled" and maybe LB could have gotten some exposing too. While CJ was doing things in the countryside, LB and Ryder could have started doing their Robbing business and chasing couriers Big Smoke sent to San Fierro.
The way they treated Ryder is terrible. And his death is SO anticlimactic. All CJ does is just blow up the boat or kill him some other way. Therefore he is not ever mentioned again.
Needs a new signature.

One thing i do wonder with the next GTA is if they stop us from saving the game if we use the built in cheats like they did in RDR2.

I've not played Vice City in a long time, but I seem to remember that the Rhino was extremely difficult to flip over.

You didn't play 3 or 4? You should, they are good. Also play the first one. GTA London is quite funny as well.

Development of a new GTA is usually not kept secret for very long, and I would suspect that if a Xmas 2020 release was being aimed for, then development would be well under way.

GTA 4 has a bunch of weirdness too, including the thing that is hidden in the Statue of Happiness...

Honestly, I do not see a GTA 6 coming out until at least spring of 2021 (if not later). With GTA 5 still getting new content and the release of RDR2 a little while ago, Rockstar is still sitting on the profits. As long as Rockstar is still profiting off of their current games, I don't see them having a need to release GTA6. GTA 6 is definitely in the works. It's got to be; however, I don't see them releasing it for at least another year.

Eh? I have never heard of that, it could be myth material. Hmm, I remember watching San Andreas in the late 2000s as a kid with all the badly modded Bigfoots and UFOs with the X-Files blaring in the background. I think no GTA after SA could replicate that feeling.

GTA San Andreas is the computer game I enjoyed the most of all the games I've played. I did buy GTA IV but my PS3 died before I really got going with it. Not bothered with a games console since.

I played all GTA titles aside from Episodes From Liberty City and GTA Advance. My favorites are Vice City, IV, and V, but I also liked Liberty City stories a lot. I have been playing GTA IV lately. I also recently played GTA V online, but the stuff is so expensive, and making money is so hard it almost forces you to spend money on shark cards.
