The Pizza Delivery Guy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Grove Street: Home. At least it was before everyone f*cked it all up by resenting the very idea it could and likely will return. Seriously calm the f*ck down. My prediction come 9 - 17: Someone will shoot up a school, and when captured will say in his defense: "Grove Street is in GTA V... it couldn't have been because of universes! I was so ANGRY I had to go and shoot all those kids!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

florisinfernus Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Liberty City didn't have Claude's houses... But Claude isn't as iconic as CJ, because San Andreas is a more iconic game than III (I mean that as in, it has endured, and still has, way more popularity). I think a lot of fans will be hoping for references of this sort that are more than a few graffitis and some names written on a wall. I think this is way bigger than the fans before IV who said, "will we see Claude?'' (which undoubtedly also were a few) And even then, R* included Claude's clothes in Playboy X's safehouse. Apart from that the GROVE STREET GANG!! is returning. A gang named after a street, but no mention of the location of the street anywhere? That seems unlikely and weird to me. Lots of people may be skeptical and yell: NEW ERA NEW ERA. But R* has no creative limitations, and they see that past GTA symbols and characters have a lot of value, and they would be silly not to include them (like the online characters for instance). It is a new era, true. But if done tastefully, it is a good idea to bring things over (which they are already doing anyway with an enormous range of things like Grove Street gang, Ballas, Los Santos, all the ingame brands etc..). And I know some people say Grove street is not the gang, but it is 'families', but it doesn't matter. Every fan knows it as Grove Street, in San Andreas it is almost exclusively referenced as 'Grove Street'. So it's Grove Street. Just like people saying Alderney is not a part of Liberty City. People make up these stupid definitions that are alien to the understanding of most of the fans. But I'm going off topic now..

florisinfernus Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Claude isn't as Iconic.I just read that. Are you high? lol. So did you read how I explained it or did you just pull it out of context? I think the second. Claude is not as popular as CJ because GTA III is not even a tenth as popular as San Andreas is right now. And therefore Claude is not as iconic as CJ. He is obviously Iconic. I suggest you take some classes in critical reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the places he used as safehouses aren't iconic - if you take a quick ride around GTA4's Liberty City, you can find many places that you can say "Claude was here". None or all them may be correct. On the other hand, Grove Street was only iconic because it was the only named street when Rockstar still didn't make streets with names. They could call the gang only The Families if they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most recongnizable characters in the series. Then you got Tommy and then CJ. Edited June 19, 2013 by Killerdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

florisinfernus Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Oke, since everyone is falling over the word 'iconic', lets read it as 'significant to fans' in stead of interpreting it wrong and responding in an irrelevant way to what I said.

florisinfernus Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Besides it was your words, not ours. It was my word indeed. But I explained how I defined it. You responded to it by implying a different meaning to the word iconic then I gave to it, which makes whatever you said irrelevant to wat I said. And now please stop whining about it and for your assistance: read it as 'significant to fans'. Actually, you aren't giving any meaning to the word iconic at all, which makes your posts meaningless.

Dingleman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Do you think franklin could be cj's son/grandson.I mean they never confirmed his surname yet(I assume), so there could be a chance he is. This was too incredible not to mention.... Grandson? Ok perhaps son, if CJ got someone up the duff VERY young. GTA:SA was 1992? (thereabouts). So say Franklin is early-mid 20's... that means he was born 1989-ish Just HOW did you think he could be a grandson?!!? Honestly, I'm curious. Mabye he got a girl pregnant at 12 and left, since rockstar had enough hassle about the hot coffee, mabye they left it out. maybe cjs nephew? maybe sweet had a kid,or kendl could've had a kid with cesar I at least hope hes maybe his cousin or sumthin,i think it would be a great little easter egg but with this whole "different era so it cant happen sh*t" might f*ck the theory up,be nice tho Protagonist is black. Must be related to CJ somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyBelic Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Not only will it be there, but MARK MY WORDS, there WILL be DLC that is CENTERED on the Grove Street Families, or the Ballas. Meaning you will get to play as a Gang Member in one of the DLC packs for V. I present you the fortune teller of the year award sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dope_0110 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 We've already seen there are TWO cul de sacs.. and there may be a few more in the ghetto.. will they be grove st.. NO. Stop being pathetic people, it's a new city, new setting, new everything. Gang may just be Famillies, but there will be no GROVE STREET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iconic:- Of, relating to, or having the character of an icon. For me and most people i know (that i have had the discussion with) Cj in fact is the most iconic.... Imo seeing as SA is the most played GTA if everyone that has played gta was asked the question "Who do you think of when you think of GTA", CJ would be the top awnser... i think people outside of this site/hd fan circles wouldn't even know who Claude is tbh.

lolleroz Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 it's up to Rockstar if they'll still be a parody of Crips versus Bloods and still be called Grove Street Families and Ballas. According to many reviews 'Rockstar has confirmed that Ballas are still going strong', I don't really think they said 'Yeah the purple gang is still going strong' and then they changed it to 'ballas' in the review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I agree. That's my point. I see how Claude defines GTA, and that he is the ultimate goon, but CJ is the biggest GTA icon, because he is way more famous.
