Why didnt they make Flash a drink instead of drugs?

I dont think The Warriors are dumb enough to do drugs. or even smoke.

that's gonna be pretty pathetic if when using Flash you see the Warriors sniffing something. that's just plain wrong.

That's the one thing I didn't like when I read the premise of the game was that to heal yourself you had to steal to buy the drug Flash. The Warriors looked very healthy in the movie and didn't show any signs of using, neither did any of the other gangs. The only person who looked strung out was Luther. I think it should have been a drink or maybe something you ate like a power bar. True they're trying to stay true to a hard street life, but this just feels wrong.

True that I dont wanna see swan or anyone shooting up or snorting but flash could be pill like asprin or something like that.

Yeah it's wierd having the Warriors do drugs, but if the movie was real they probably would be doing them. Marijiuana, cigarettes, and alcohol at least. For all we knoe Cleon chose those guys because they had no addictions, and therefore could easily make a long-distance trip.

Although innapropriate, it would also stick with the idea (and also go with Ajax, not to mention repeat certain gameplay elemnts of GTA) but an alternative to buying/stealing flash would be to get it on with a willing woman at Warriors HQ, or *gulp* rape a woman on the street. It would be risky cause she could have a gun or knife on her, and she'll attract lots of attention.

Gotta think though, Vermin's twitchiness, Cochise's mellowness.

It was in a preview or something, but the one sentence that got to me was "...and Flash is the drug that keeps the Warriors running." Atleast it's "Flash" and not blatant coke/LSD, etc.

I agree they could easily have used painkillers instead of this sniff drug Flash, but it doesn't bother me much though.

They should get some Crunk Juice.

Yeah, it is kind of awkward seeing Rembrant do it..maybe they should give him the drink

I don't know.

I feel it brings a bit of Reality to the game.

In a way its just saying that even the most Heroic people can be drug users.

Besides I mean a Drink should be a automatic I guess.

Remeber this is Rockstar Games!

These guys are known for infamous works.

I think of "Flash" as a asprin/painkiller. They use it only when hurt so it's not being abused. The drug is also legal since it's sold in Medical Stores. So it's not a harmful drug and it is something Warrior safe

Ya i thought that too.The Warriors wouldnt do illegal drugs.They break other laws but these dudes can run from the Bronx to Coney Island.So they cant snort.

also it would kinda ruin a lil bit of the warriors rep and tunr them into drug users. Thats not them at all.
