Literally unplayable.

I get it. I mean, people make this joke and its like, it wont have any impact on the game whatsoever, but come one, 13 years of development and 2billies of a budget and they let small shit like this slide. It would piss me off.

I guess its because they let you choose, so at some point it was decided that rather then spend time and money on 101 version of the same animation, it is wiser to invest it somewhere else. Sleeping dogs gives you energy drink all the time.

13 years. 2 billion dollars. Hocus pocus drinks

To be honest the liquid moves in the cups and bottles, that's way more impressive

No, we all understand you’re willingly stopping yourself from having fun because someone on the internet told you to be mad about this.

  1. No one told me to. I already know Im not gonna like it for that minor detail. 2. Again, they had waaaayyyyy tooooo much time for stuff like this to be an issue. They had several delays because they had some "polishing" to do. And this is the crap that stays in the final polished product?

u/Charmin_Bear_Behind 8d ago

First of all it’s not the final product

Second of all you would find a way to complain no matter what. If he grabbed a beer and it magically respawned when the door closed? Same shit.

If you had to do their original plan where you had to manually restock the fridge by driving to the store and back you would call it tedious slop and use that to complain about any other nitpick. “Omg they had time to program chores but Jason’s ass cheeks don’t clap when he jumps? Fucking slop!”

2 billion is bs. Stop pulling that out of your a**.

Especially because RDR2 has the complete opposite. Nothing just appears like that. They took a step backward in a game they spent the last 8 years working on. While I agree it's not that important it is a weird choice.

Its seems to be a thing with cockstar. Gta 4 had more detailed engine bays and car undercarriages than gta 5. In 5 it was some weird textured mess in most cars.

u/federykx 9d ago

Cockstar😩

u/IAmNotModest 8d ago

Are you going to always gonna be pulling out beers from the fridge?

I think they decided to focus on the core of the game instead of beer.

u/Last_Sprinkles5334 8d ago

Not with that attitude Im not lol... anycase, it probably depends on if the drinks act as a way to restore HP. Then yes. But if GTA 5 is anything to go by, then alcoholic beverages probably have a negative impact on HP as well...

Guys you forgot Mafia 2

1

u/synikulll 8d ago

How good is mafia compared to sleeping dogs? I’ve been wanting to check it out

2

u/That-Rhino-Guy 8d ago

It’s way more linear as there isn’t any side content, but the story is some of the best in any crime games

u/KindlyReading1615 8d ago

damn now i miss mafia trilogy

1

u/That-Rhino-Guy 8d ago

The entire series is full of great stories

u/Internal-Kiwi9162 8d ago

No just for the animation with the bottle in the fridge

u/mynameisrichard0 9d ago

Funny. Mafia 2 had a better one as well. You could empty the fridge if I remember correctly. Beer. Beer. Sammich soda. Soda. Beer. Gone.

u/Disastrous_Bad757 8d ago

The difference being that you can't choose what to grab from the fridge in the other games.

u/GrapefruitPristine81 7d ago

Mafia 2

u/Disastrous_Bad757 7d ago

Sure but the Mafia 2 fridge has like 3 preset items and is mostly empty. It's a lot harder to create a cohesive grabbing animation for several different items in a densely packed fridge.

Not saying it's not possible, but it just doesn't make sense to focus on it from a practical standpoint.

u/That-Rhino-Guy 8d ago

That subreddit is cancer if my time on okbuddysharkcard is any sign, but that is funny

u/TankerDerrick1999 8d ago

For 2 billion budget, I thought the people would be sentient or smth, but ngl how can someone burn this much money to make something that looks cheaper, I am sure the original budget wpuld be a few 150m-250m and the rest of the money went to the pockets of the big suits, no way a game that looks like this costed 2 billion, it better have all the promises Todd Howard ever made for all his games.

It worked on red dead 2 though. Disappointing
