Which gamemode do you hate the most and why? explain what you hate about it.
Do you like something from the gamemode that you hate most? If you do write what you like about it.

Here is a list of popular/nonpopular/whatever gamemodes (from what I know):
Roleplay
Drift
Stunt
Freeroam
Mini missions/games
Cops And Robbers
Trucking
DM , Team Death Match
Race
Call Of Duty
Gang Wars
Survival
Zombie (Survival / Roleplay)



Personally I hate roleplay servers.

Dislikes:
-Personally the first time I visited a roleplay server, I got bored pretty quickly because I didnt know what to do,
-I couldnt get help because there was no chat.
-I tried to get on another server that also roleplay and it had a test which asked what was meta-gaming,power gaming, occ and other stuff like that, it had the answers to that on a list, but not all of them, so I left, the idea seemed interesting though.
-The term roleplay in itself doesnt really seem attractive to me, cause I see no appeal in being someone else (like acting you were a cop, robber, pizza delivery boy or whatver) I would rather be myself.
- There are too many terms to remember and to many rules.( meta gaming, power gaming, ninja something, OCC,MG)
-The slowness of it all, because when I first came on a roleplay server I was really dejected because I couldnt get a car that WASNT RENTED (it was locked), this made me look for a car for atleast 30 minutes, and that was so annoying because I only got to see the regular scenery of the gta san andreas map.
-This is more concerning the players, but I hate those guys on the forum that comment "Great for roleplay" like it would be good on any other server like CnR or a Racing server...
-Everyone is invisible on the map, so its hard to locate your friend.

Likes:
-Money has value in roleplay servers. (you can buy stuff like houses, cars, properties) but they are expensive.
-It offers many jobs, meaning the player can choose which way he wants to earn it, and the jobs are different so its exciting for new roleplay players (or so I think).
-Due to money having value in roleplay servers, and the slownes off it, there are a lot of players spending a lot of time on roleplay, which is good because its a good method to keep players online, its addicting and you are actually happy when you earn money on the server.
-Hunger/thirst systems which also prolong players time on the server.
-Roleplay servers can be addicting because of this.

I like RPG, I dislike RP. In a roleplay game you still have the game aspect, usually without the requirement to use the silly /me and /do every time you pull your shotgun out of your ass.

But yeah, most of the time the economy is screwed up. I think it'd be nice if the server could give you cash or a driving permit at random, perhaps influenced by the age of your character (i.e. older character = more chance to have driver license). Because usually you "arrive" in the city at the airport or the train station and the first thing you do is hop your way to the DMV, because apparently there is no taxi or bus service.

Servers that throw you out of a vehicle just because you don't have a license for something are an insta-turnoff. Don't have a driver license? Okay, "the hand of god" will just throw you out of the vehicle. This could probably use a better system, like randomly stalling the car, suddenly speeding or slowing down or drifting along the road.

Well some servers actually do have a taxi and bus service however it's hard because most rely on a faction or someone with the taxi job to always be at the airport, whatever. What is hard to see and seems to me like a very viable solution is to have NPC's / bot's driving around in taxis(aswell as players with the jobs) that have certain exact programmed locations only such as the DMV, bank, mostly for new players.

I hate every gamemode except roleplay, because I get easily bored playing those types of gamemodes, roleplay always has a new taste into it so I roleplay different things and enjoy my time.

I dont quite understand, can you explain it in more detail? What do roleplay gamemodes have that other gamemodes dont?

Well, what do other gamemodes have that roleplay gamemodes don't?

[Diabloa]

I don't hate any of the gamemodes, I just dislike every GM except roleplay. Roleplay has more meaning to me rather than the other ones in SAMP.

[Glossy42O]

i don't like roleplay, i mean it's fun n shit but, i mean when i play with my friend it's funnier cuz we break rules xDDD

[Alex Magaсa]

I will stick to this too, i really dislike nowdays servers (bunch of useless edited servers - SCRP edits, NGRP edits). This people will never stop doing this.

It has a lot of things to explore in roleplay you don't just look at the features of the server you look at yourself and your a ability to roleplay and explore new types of roleplay within yourself which is fun, I was completely like you in roleplay but I have learned everything just to play with my friends together and I have been roleplaying as a civilian, cop, and a criminal and it was fun. I don't really know how to explain it.

[DeitY]

Long live RolePlay gamemodes.

[Jimmy0wns]

FreeRoam/Fun/DM/TDM servers kill it all for me, I don't get the point in just driving around doing stunts on maps or just shooting people all the time.

Any gamemode that tries to completely change the way SA-MP is played. I mean, come on, you can't in anyway make out SA-MP to be a different game such as a survival mode! (up to a certain extent)

Agreed, the game doesn't have any mechanics for it which means it'll look weird with all the labels, textdraws and all.

Mauzen made it possible to some extent, he's still working on it, as far as I know.

On-Topic: I like almost every gamemode, it depends upon my mood actually.

Roleplay, cause they need to be role played. I mean they just give everything at new player and as Vince said: Old player get more chance to get dmv

I completely agree with you @Krest. NGG Copy-Cat servers are quite annoying.

[IzadorO]

The Project: Los Angeles game mode has very sub par scripting and a ton of bugs. I deem this game mode one of the worst.
