Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V6 - FAPSers Unite - Games

Honestly I want to know what happened to CJ and why Grove Street is swarming with Ballas. ... Or is that explained in the story?

The HD games are a different universe. CJ doesn't exist

Really? Ah well. At least I can still show a little Families pride while scrubbing some purple off the streets. [t]http://i.imgur.com/pdD41bF.jpg[/t] [sp]This turned out surprisingly nice actually. I might buy a Buffalo S in GTAO just to clone it[/sp]

[QUOTE=Everything;47712999]Honestly I want to know what happened to CJ and why Grove Street is swarming with Ballas. ... Or is that explained in the story?[/QUOTE] The wiki says that there are rumors about Grove Street in the 90's, to which Franklin responds by saying all the Grove Street OG's moved on. It also says that Ballas on Grove Street will mention how they kicked the Families out. My speculation is The Families are likely directly related to the defunct Grove Street Families, having a similar name and the same colors. The OG's left and Grove Street Families fragmented and simply became "The Families".

iirc, after picking option c, some guy on Franklin's bleeter/whatever the twitter equivalent ingame is will tweet about the Grove Street Families coming back, so they probably did exist at some point in the HD universe.

I completely forgot about bleeter. Does each character have a unique page?

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;47713305]I completely forgot about bleeter. Does each character have a unique page?[/QUOTE] Yep. It updates as you move through the story, too, which is kinda cool.

[QUOTE=Araknid;47713441]Literally never works. Tried with MGs, rifles, even the 50 cal sniper rifle and they just kept going[/QUOTE] Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Kuruma's need a big nerf. I'm almost always in a server with 2-3 guys all driving around in Kuruma's shooting people.

[QUOTE=StarToad;47713300]iirc, after picking option c, some guy on Franklin's bleeter/whatever the twitter equivalent ingame is will tweet about the Grove Street Families coming back, so they probably did exist at some point in the HD universe.[/QUOTE] Yeah, there's a actual mentions of CJ and such in the game if you pay attention. The issue is that if that's the case, that means there is a direct line to the 3D universe which means where is Las Venturas and the other city. My other issue with the game in general, is it does not feel like LA. it feels more akin to an LA that sank in the ocean and became Hawaii.

IE, take the east coast of the map, mirror it, and put it on the north side of the map so that PCH goes north-south - I think that's what he said was canon. It was a long time ago though, I might be thinking of something else. It makes sense to me either way.

Speaking of Las Venturas, I'd really like to be able to re-visit it, and its surrounding areas, and participate in a good ol casino heist.

so I got a new graphics card to play this game since I had stutter/texture loading/general lag issues and I got completely rid of them with an Nvidia 960gtx. it was pretty cheap and it pretty much made my game almost never drop below 50 fps, it seems like the card and the game go hand in hand pretty well. so if you had some of the issues I had and want to change, I'd recommend it.

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;47707120]Why does my fps tank when I go online into a room with lots of people? When I run online by myself it runs great but as more and more people join I get less and less fps. [editline]11th May 2015[/editline] Also playing custom music causes massive fps drop and stutter. It's a shame.[/QUOTE] IIRC some games limit framerate based on ping, maybe GTA does that ad well?

I thought it was fairly accepted that the whole island thing is just a gameplay limitation and isn't canon storywise.

does gta even have a canon?

[QUOTE=Pops;47713869]does gta even have a canon?[/QUOTE] With missions certain choices are required to 100% them so that implies it does.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;47713882]During SP missions.. [sp]You use boats in LS to run away from the police, you go into the lab via underwater, and you "plan" to escape from paleto via boat, that would essentially make it an island or a really weird peninsula.[/sp][/QUOTE] [url]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VoodooShark[/url]

Personally I think they should have done infinite desert and ocean for applicable areas. Go east? Desert, then your vehicle breaks down and Mt lions attack you. Ocean can work the same way too.

It's the result of a sort of divide they have going on. The problem is lore-wise, Alderney, Liberty City, and San Andreas are all connected to the continental United States. But on the other hand, after everyone was disappointed by Shoreside Vale having nothing behind the hills and with the introduction of airplanes and helicopters in later games, they didn't want to model landmasses that the player could not reach. So they made a compromise, the in-game world is surrounded by water, but in lore it isn't. The best way to see this is to check the website for GTAIV, the background should Alderny extending to the West and Liberty City extending into the horizon. [QUOTE=Tmaxx;47713803]On the GTA wiki, it says that the game world we play in is only a small southern island, and that the actual state of San Andreas takes up what is now Cali.[/QUOTE] That just means the wiki is wrong. It's written largely by fans, and to be honest some fans just make things up due to lack of correct information. Besides, in-game you can hear references to Paleto County which iirc is said to be just north of Paleto Bay. [editline]13th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=RenegadeCop;47713882]During SP missions..

You can also explain some of those things as being rivers or lakes, and as someone above said the coast around the top probably is straight rather than curved as depicted in-game. [QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;47713962]Personally I think they should have done infinite desert and ocean for applicable areas. Go east? Desert, then your vehicle breaks down and Mt lions attack you. Ocean can work the same way too.[/QUOTE] Yeah I agree, they should have just made it an endless (and featureless) desert or grassland, then just have the boundries work the same way as with water (vehicles stall if going too far, animals attack if on foot).
