the Chelsea Grin song "Lifeles" has a sound clip from this game

In the song "Lifeless" by Chelsea Grin, the ending breakdown has this woman moaning of which the audio was taken from one of the sex scenes from this game. Could it be appropriate to mention this on the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.233.138.254 (talk) 23:25, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. It counts as Trivia. Thanks for seeking clarification though. - X201 (talk) 07:40, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Mentioning this on the article for Chelsea Grin probably wouldn't be valid information by any point past being seen as trivia as well. • GunMetal Angel 17:44, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stellar reception of series

I've never, ever played this game. I've played the older ones. 3 is not that good but was a breakthrough in concept, Vice City has the best atmosphere and density, San Andeas is called "a quintessential piece of software," and this one apparantly is as acclaimed as any, making half a billion in it's first day. So why in the name of profit motive would any clear thinking company stop working on their most successful series to focus on mediocre ones. It makes no sense business-wise. Is there any simple reason for this? Daniel Christensen (talk) 01:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's been confrimed now they didn't stop work on the series, but I'm surprised you ever thought they. Bombot (talk) 13:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracies

Niko is a veteran of the Balkan Wars, or as Wikipedia calls them, the Yugoslav Wars. Calling it the Cold War is ridiculously vague and innacurate in this case. Niko is from the Balkans (South-eastern Europe) not Eastern Europe. Various characters refer to him as from the Balkans during the game. Please edit the article accordingly! 79.217.73.86 (talk) 23:27, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Balkans are Eastern Europe, it's the historical heart of Eastern Europe to be more precise. As for ethnicity, he seems to be a Serb (name, ingame slang as well as language dialect is distinctive Serbian). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.191.59.145 (talk) 19:45, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why doesn't the article reflect this? It says not to change without consensus, but I don't see much formal discussion here. Anyone opposed to inserting "..., presumably the Yugoslav or Kosovo Wars,..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rail88 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is lots (and I do mean lots) of formal discussion in the archive. Niko is a fictional character. The author of that fictional character is Dan Houser/Rockstar. Niko's nationality has never been divulged by Houser/Rockstar. The name of the war that their fictional character took part in has never been divulged either. Because Niko is their creation, and they have never revealed any of this information, Wikipedia uses the most exact information that they have released. i.e. We don't know his nationality. We only know that the war took place in Eastern Europe. Anything else, such as stating his nationality because he speaks a certain language fall foul of WP:OR and/or WP:SYN. - X201 (talk) 07:51, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He is definetly not Russian.Why?There's a mission for Mikhail Faustin in which you have to go along with Dimitri and nearly at the end of mission,when you are introduced to weapon buying,the store guy'll tell Niko he's tired of selling weapons to Ruskies(that's what he calls to Russians)and Niko will answer:"I'm not Russian.".Also,other characters call him either:Serb,Slav(Johnny Klebitz in TLAD)or Mysterious European(Alex as girlfriend(as Russia is half European,half Asian,it could be innaccurate because IF he was Russian he could be Asian as well)).Know-howpt (talk) 15:43, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's not from Iceland either, and that's just as relevant (it's just as necessary to "prove" it) as the fact that he's not Russian. <shrug> Nczempin (talk) 15:59, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sales

Now up to 25 million plus, according to Game Informer's GTA V preview. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.105.136.29 (talk) 12:05, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wanted system from "Need for Speed"

The wanted system is very similar to the NFS I played in 2006. I don't follow that title so I don't know when and how they came up with it, but 2006<2008. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.170.233 (talk) 05:12, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
