The haters were wrong hahahaha

They are all to busy crying into their huge on one side fringe becuase they know that for atleast 1/3 of the game they will be forced to do things like drive low riders... wear baggy clothes and have that thingy called swag. It's killing them inside so much they have had to break out the emergency Radiohead discography so they can have a good cry and get it all out lol!

 

Tomorrow they will write a little ditty about it using their ukulele.... and then proberly take a selfy on instagram along with a picture of their brekfast, whilst airing their views on twitter #Forced2playGTASA2 #CryinlikeaBitch

Oh yay!!

One more thread for me to show this!!

 

to OP:

Yeah ... I'm with you.. Don't understand the hate at all.. Why would they NOT use the canon of Grove Street Families vs. Ballas?

This is Los Santos after all?!!! o_O;

Ballas and Grove Street Families are confirmed. So there is no reason to get mad about it.

 

Their tags are seen in the game, Franklin is a grove street member or at least hanging out with them, they are dressed in green, they are grove street family, and chop chases a balla in trailer two. Ballas and GSF are confirmed. Regardless of the fact that no same characters are around, the gangs exist and are already confirmed.

I'm still surprised that people do not know that the gang is called FAMILIES not Grove Street Families. Like many have said, Grove Street was just a set, i.e.:Temple Drive Families, Seville Boulevard Families. The Ballas had sets as well: Kilo Trayz Ballas, and Rollin' Heights Ballas.

OT: I've been praying since the first trailer that they will introduce street gang culture back into the series and I am so happy that they have. I love the mafia and all that but they get boring after so many games with them.

I say GROVE STREET families just to annoy.. And .. well, because it sounds a bit more right. dunno

'Cause when I played GTA: San Andreas, they sure sounded like Grove Street Families to me.. They were the source and then the unifying force after all..

Yea but seriously... you proved my point completely.... CAPS=violent... lack of anything other then OMG DIFFERENT ERA'S = stupid.

HAHAHA dickfaice... now we know what Ronald mc Donald was reading! He had early access to the Franklin trailer released today.

 

Can i just say, you and your fellow jumped up era nuts got made to look like f*cking idiots today.

 

OMGZ they wont use the same two gangs (Family's and Ballas) or colours... just becoz they wear green a few times... my nan wears green so she iz grove street??!?!

 

GTFO already.

 

 

user warned for homophobic rant

 

I edited the use of the word GAY in a derogatory manner so it says nuts instead... but to make a CLAIM that all of my post was a homophobic RANT?? Really... If these boards had any kind of social persuasive power, i could sue you for defamation lol!! Any chance of an explanation on that one? Without you hiding behind pm's or "becuase i'm a mod and i think what you just said was a HOMOPHOBIC rant", because otherwise in other cases it means you guys could just ban/warn someone for pretty much any reason as long as you tag power words to your justification with no draw back to that!

Anyone from the LGBT social circuit around that could go over my post and let me know if it offends you or scares you because of my homophobic ranting? (fyi you need to edit the word Nuts into Gays for it to be in its original homophobe rantings form... ph34r.gif

I saw a lot of green from Franklin's trailer. I would believe that they be back.

I hate people asking for characters from the 3D era to return. However, I see no problem with Grove & Ballas returning. They are more like an organization or brand & they can cross universes.

 

Dressing Franklin in green, with a green firearm, he'll be the jolly green gangster.

Oh HERE WE GO, yes, because I don't want to hang around in the hood and be all STREETS HOMIE, STREETS, I must be a racist! tounge.gif

 

We already got a game out of that, it's called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, forgive me for wanting something a little different, for wanting Rockstar to represent a black protagonist in a different light like they did with Vic Vance in Vice City Stories.

 

this is the same sh*t when The Lost and Damned was announced, it's funny, because all the gang banger fans were all like "YO I DON'T WANT TO PLAY AS SOME RACIST WHITE BIKER GANG!!!!", when The Lost MC wern't even the racist ones. tounge.gif

I have to admit, I originally felt that way about Johnny and the lost. After playing the game, of course, my opinion changed completely, as the storyline was just awesome. Although IMO The Lost, along with all other bikers, were completely out of place in that game and should have definitely been saved for GTA V.

 

I personally don't see how you could have Los Santos and not have gangs that resembled GSF and the Ballas.

Well, what Rockstar tends to do is create the kind of story and characters that utilizes the map the best. So that makes it very obvious for black gangs to return. Too bad for you if you don't like them. I think it's a logical thing to do.

 

You can see this very clearly in how they chose the main characters for this game.

 

Michael: rich part of Los Santos

Franklin: poor part of Los Santos

Trevor: countryside

But you're acting like the similarities between Tommy Vercetti and Micheal are non existent? I mean they played freaking Queen during Micheal's trailer for God sakes, the nostalgia for Vice City is clear with Micheal's character.

 

The prejudice is obvious when you act as if the only recycled aspects that are returning are gang banging, especially when you fully acknowledge the return the Lost MC and ignore the nostalgia to Vice City with Micheal. Personally I enjoyed both SA and Lost & Damned so I appreciate that they're bringing back both factions, but you're clearly discriminating based on a personal prejudice.

 

But its your $60 dollars, clearly you should get whatever you want regardless of how racist your inner prejudices may be. At least be genuine about them though.

Again, calling me racist? disguising it as "inner prejudices" is bullsh*t, how am I racist? Have I outright said that I don't want to play as a Black Character? I praised Vic Vance, I like to see roles that are not stereotypes, the whole gang banger street ghetto thing is MUCH more played out and overdone compared to other things such as the Biker Gang, or hell, the Mid Life crisis theme that Michael has.

 

If anything, how would ou like it if I turn it on you? YOU'RE RACIST because you said Tommy Vercetti and Michael are similar because what, they're both White Middle Aged Men? Their set ups are completely different, Tommy was recently out of prison and working for the mob, after an ambush he decides to take the city for himself, from what we've seen of Michael, he's an ex-thief now in the family life and bored of it and wants his old life back. How are they the same?

lol Ash, i was thinking id get pinned with the racist comments. for one i hate cj i feel hes weak in mind body and soul. i played half way through san andreas and the tire some chore of the gangster life was too messed up considering after san andreas came out u had white guys with baggy pants almost to there ankles callin everybody "dawg" even in ontario in small towns none the less of like 500 . i don't blame the game for that trend but f*ck me if it don't look stupid on guys in there late 20's early 30's i watched one guy one time get chased by the cops on foot wearing homeboy pants they eventually fell down to his ankles he tripped an was cuffed . lookin like a clown cool.gif

Sorry if I made it sound as if I was being unclear, I meant to explicitly say that you're racist if that helps you better understand my case. Im not trying to be insincere by "disguising" anything, I genuinely believe that you are a racist.

 

I mean for one, you seem to be really glad about the Lost MC returning just to irritate a demographic that is mostly African American.

Secondly, the only recycled aspect you seem to acknowledge in a negative light is gang banging, while ignoring an obvious overlap between Tommy and Micheal. Both characters have a tendency to resort to violence as demonstrated in Micheal's recent trailer, both have uneasy relationships with a friend who they used to be dear too, both have an unshakable fetish with the crime life and want to return to it, there is a Vice City-esque song in Micheal's trailer. To say the correlation is glaring would be an understatement, yet you act as if its not there and that I feel is really dishonest.

 

Whether gang banging is more played out in comparison to Biker gangs is subjective and depends on what medium you're talking about, but regardless that sounds like a quick excuse to hide prejudice.

Not liking a certain part of african american culture doesn't make you racist. That was a stupid thing to say.

No, I'm glad because a lot of these "gang bangers" on the forum were up in arms about The Lost MC the first time around, nothing to do with them being Black, White, Asian, etc, if you were one of those gang bangers who automatically think Biker Gangs are all RACISTS, then yes, I'm glad that The Lost MC (the non racist Biker Gang) are back just to piss off you gang bangers who think they are racist! It's hilarious to watch them throw out the term racist without realizing they're being racist themselves.

Hell yeah the grove should make an appearance. user posted image

I think it would be GREAT if it still remained a CUL DE SAC, but the houses were gone and replaced by with either a housing project, or a shopping mall. This would be cool because it would represent how the neighborhood has changed since the early nineties. It could have a plaque at the entrance that describes some kind of "urban renewal" project, and mentions how it used to be a drug infested street where gangs lived.
