Yeah! but San Andreas was based on Los Angelas, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. I've been to both Vegas and LA... and i saw a lot more traffic than was in San Andreas. Point is like i said, they over did the real physics factor and made the game less enjoyable to play. Their arent Ferrari's, BMW's, Mercedes, and Lamborghini's on every corner and stopped at every red light neither. But these games still do this.
It's a game and they shouldn't pollute one of their best features for the sake of being "lifelike." it's a game i play to escape reality not get sucked in even more.
It's an exaggerated take on reality. That's why it's "over done". If it were true to life, then it would be boring, and nobody would play.
I used to call this "The Tom Clancy Syndrome". It's the false expectatation that everything in every game is going to be a 100% accurate depiction of reality. The reasony why people play video games is to ESCAPE reality, not replicate it. Even though there are things that are inspired by real life, it's still a game, and it has to be fun.
By the way, there are parts of New York City you do see BMW's, Mercedes, and Lamborghinis, maybe not on every corner, but more often. I saw a guy driving a Ferrari 599 outside the Garden after a Knicks game.
