saintsrow Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I figured that Rockstar might re-imagine old California Route 66 in any case, since it goes through the blighted desert community, all the way to Santa Monica Blvd and ultimately the Santa Monica Pier (i.e., Pleasure Pier). But it will take further research to figure out if Rockstar's Route 68 is that re-imagined Route 66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOSEPH X Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 OK, I've sent them a mouthoff... Why did you call the main highway in GTA V Route 68 and not Route 69...as in the sexual position? Let's see them answer that one! *folds arms* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendorphin Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I can just see it now - the VERY FIRST GTA V mod will be to make it 69 Personally, I don't care though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshio_maxoS Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 *Huge Facepalm* Have you never played a GTA game? No ofc not....... -.- It's just ridiculous to be disappointed that the "Route 68" is not called "Route 69". And we even do not know if there's is another Route called "Route 69".

byeo Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 You don't get it do you? Because we all expected them to make it Route 69, they made it 68 instead. So they're trying to be clever? Hmmm.. You really are pissed off about this aren't you ? Why don't you go out, meet a woman, get laid and perform the 69 on her. It's much better than moaning about Rockstar and the route 68.

blakeney Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't want my mates asking for my location and me telling them that I am heading south on the Route 69. It sounds silly and the humour of it would dry out. If i was your mate i'd reply "So your taking the dirt road huh?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromBrnoCity Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Oh naw, there's no why to be dissapointed just by number "68".. don't worry.. our fav number 69 will be in many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkbro Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 So in GTA V, the main highway thru Blaine County is called Route 68... Why didn't they call it Route 69? dat car. *_* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dope_0110 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 OP, you pathetic excuse for a living being. You don't get that they did in on purpose, because THAT IS THE JOKE. Everyone expected 69, they decided to go with one number less, because everyone will know it is a 69 joke anyway, but they switched it up a bit. That joke is not even funny unless you're 10. So go hide under your bed and cry for a while, will you. Then come back and tell us if you're still upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusRIP Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Route 69 is too obvious and juvenile. They are more subtle than that, that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEoS Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I've always thought R*'s love affair with the 69 joke was just a bit beneath them and the quality of humor I've come to expect from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feestaap1 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 so next time R* will make a game about a male stripper in a pink city full of male strippers with 69 roads which are all called "route 69"... just for you enjoy!

jamieleng Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't recognize the pic. Is that recent? This just reminds me of all the number 86 sh*t going on right now. It's from the gameplay trailer. If you don't recognize a screenshot, chances are it's from one of the trailers. @TEoS Yes, the 69 joke has been relegated to appearing in smaller, less noticeable places since IV. GTA's humour is a lot more sophistimicated these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHOENIXZERO Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Because Route 69 is already copyrighted, I believe. EDIT:It's because it's running east-west, like Route 66. It'd have to run north-south to be Route 69. There were several trademarks of Route 69 over the years but from what I've checked they've lapsed. But yes, the reason it's 68 is because it runs east-west. Why this topic continued past your post I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwaha Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Because I want the game to be funny, muchacho. Not humourless....like the No. 68. Good humor is not up in your face constantly. Route 68 wouldn't be more funny as Route 69. Maybe you will giggle every time you see that number but that doesn't make it humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
