Toreno

I have a simple question. Is it because of Toreno and the CIA that everything in San Andreas happened? Is he the reason crack flooded the streets thus leading eventually leading to CJ's mom being killed by CRASH? I've read some of you say Toreno had a direct hand in CRASH. So tell me, was it all Toreno from the start?

Not at all. Toreno's Business was for export to finance his work with whatever letter group he ran. It is presumed he is CIA but the group is never identified.

He is also working cross-purposed to other government men who may or may not be of the same organization.

More interesting Questios never answered:

What did CJ deliver by the Rustler? Why did he attract attention by flying so low? Why did this flight attract 'attention' by flying High?

Why did Toreno need CJ kill men on the ship and steal the plane. When CJ could have attacked the 'ships' by land.

How did the 'ships' get into the lakes, why?

Why over-analyze mission aspects when it's obvious that by removing them the missions would have no challenge at all? Invent whatever subplot you want to fill the gaps in logic. This is a game.

 

BTW flying low is the way to avoid secure missile lock. This also works outside the mission.

I just love Toreno's missions because they leave so much for the imagination.

Too obvious. Mike needed CJ to be unobvious so Mike's "Enemies" don't see it coming, it's confusing I know, but Toreno is random just like his voice actor.

If you watch the introduction on youtube [30 or 40 minute long one, not the in game intro] you'll see that Toreno is with T-bone Mendez and is irritated at somebody on the phone, assumed to be Tennpenny, for a reason. After which Tennpenny goes and forces Big Smoke to put a hit out on Sweet. I believe Toreno was the top guy in the Loco syndicate and was unhappy that somebody [sweet] was stopping the streets from being flooded with Yay [or crack]. If Sweet wasn't stopping the drugs, the hit wouldn't have been put out - Thus Toreno was [in my observations] responsible for CJ's mother's death.

 

Think about it; Jizzy and Ryder were dead yet the streets were still able to be flooded with drugs while CJ was in LV. I think it's due to Sweet being in jail, exactly where Toreno would want him so that he's out of the way, while CJ was delivering mysterious packages for Toreno to the same spot that the Loco Syndicate would meet. I think CJ was unknowingly helping collect and spread the drugs.

 

Making CJ steal the Jet was for the use of getting drugs into San Andreas easier and quicker compared to the other ways in N.O.E. and Interdiction.

Unknown. A real question to ask is where did they come from and How did they get into a land locked dam lake? And what were they going to do?

I guess all we can say is that they were spies as they were on 'spy ships' and maybe they were air dropped in there by Leviathan.

Maybe they were going to do a spot of fishing afterward lol

Some interesting questions I've wondered about here, myself. I think only Rockstar can answer such questions.

Who were on the flotilla of spy ships? Cubans? Russians?

Toreno probably wasn't honest with CJ, they weren't spy ships but simply american Navy ships that Toreno needed out of his way.

How were they Navy ships if they look like somebody's vacation boat!!

It doesn't matter. If a U.S. government agency says, "kill some sportfishermen". You kill some 'sportfishermen'. or spend your last days in Cuba on 'Holiday'! icon14.gif

That's the game developers fault, not the Navy's. biggrin.gif But seriously, they could have been drug-running boats or something. Perhaps Toreno was in competition with them, considering that he also sold drugs.

You must have missed the GTA V section, huh lol tounge2.gif As V is pretty much a SA sequel(and an updated version too), as it is set in Los Santos and the surrounding country side(just as SA was-minus San Francisco and Las Vegas of coarse)...It comes out 9/17/2013.... tounge2.giflol.gif

When Toreno said: "People sharing; nobody buying stuff", was that a reference to piracy? Edited by King Andreas

I asked this once in GTA V. And it was confirmed that GTA V is NOT related to San Andreas.

Like it is a different universe.

If GTA V is unrelated to San Andreas, I won't be buying it, let alone playing it. Such a shame, indeed.

 

This would be a great intro to a San Andreas sequel: Kendl & Cesar are at their wedding when suddenly, police raid the chapel, and arrest Sweet in accordance with the demands of the antagonist, Mike Toreno.

I think it rather was meant about communism and socialism. If I remember right in the same cutscene he mentions something about communism growing in Ohio.

I think he meant whether it was Toreno who started the whole crack traffic thing around Los Santos, or it was already before him and he only entered it as a way to get money.
