Decoding the Mount Chiliad Mural

[XMarqstheSpot]

I have been playing online a lot lately. The more I play, the more I think the JP is not in SP but in online. R* pushed online heavily in all the press releases, stated that it would be a "game changer" After playing online I can see why the SP campaign was, lacking. Online replay value is sooo much higher. All the stuff that is "missing" from SP is present in one form or another online. Bear in mind, this is the first GTA that allows you to have an actual avatar to play as. At this point I feel that the "come back when your story is complete" is meant to be taken literally. AFAIK nobody online has completed their story (ie rank 99) yet......

 

Maybe I'm wrong.

plenty of people are past the rank of 150+

 

the level limit is 999 as R* didn't want to have to change this later on. Read this in an official interview iirc(don;t take that as fac until i can find link an update, could have been something i made up)

I've seen people online that are level 145; I believe 999 is the cap.

 

I agree that online has a part to play. People on about shining lights on glyphs, you can do this online. If you're a passenger in a helicopter, you have access to an infra red/night vision scope.

What about the naked people in the hills... They've peinted a sun everywhere and also the text "See the eye" can be found in several places around their camp. Also in the "cave" under their camp, it's a burning fire in there and also the words "see the eye". Can that be something? Their "meeting point" in the camp is also located on a cliff where you (perfectly) can watch the sun go down. Do you know what place I'm talking about?

I think i brought it up in another forum but there is a deleted scene in independence day where the old guy flys a crop duster into the ufo

 

Not a "deleted scene" but a "reinterpreted scene"

 

In the movie he flys either an F16 or an F18 into the UFO, in the book he flies a red crop duster with a bomb bungee strapped to the undercarriage.

 

 

 

 

As for online, yes 999 (I miss typed)

Pick one...

 

I would take one that said, "I JUST WANT MY GODDAMN JETPACK!!

 

 

 

Okay... Here ya' go!

lift every palett with a forklift

killing the altruist guys 4 a few hours

listen to everything they say

glitch into the buildings

go there in underwear

etc.etc.

Ive read posts before that there could be a way to change the paths in the game history, there are some missions that give you simple trophies with simple artwork, but then there are other missions that also give you trophies but with the infinite symbol on it, missions like submersible, blitze. Why this ones have that symbol on their trophies? And these ones are long important missions. Maybe is a hidden place to go or collect

Explain more, i can;t find the infinite symbols you are talking about, where are they located, on social club or in game, on what screen?

I see, this is new to me. they are infinite symbols on some of the Achievements in the XBOX menu. heists and such.

 

EDIT: I could see it being a mask but, it would be the first tiem they used a mask symbol like that in the game.

 

BUT they have used the infinite symbol which looks exactly like that many times.

 

CONCLUSION: Infinite symbol.

The book scene would have been much better as the official one. Now I need to find a DVD / Blue Ray copy to see it how it should have been!

We're not talking about it because it's been gone over a million times already.

 

THIS is why school's have a learning structure.

 

If new people with no knowledge on anything could just come in and start debating and theorizing with people who have been at it for years without putting in the time to learn the history of what it is they are trying to figure out then we would still be in the Dark Ages.

 

People, please try to school yourselves on this subject before bringing new theories up. Atleast use the search function once.

That is pretty cool... those were very beautiful games... But I sort of see team ICO as being artists... there is a sort of Zen thinking behind their philosophy...

Rockstar is a little more about the Benjamins... I don't see them doing something that will not bring them an immediate foreseeable profit.

Yes there is beauty and artistry in GTA V, but that is much due to advancements in technology... What Team Ico did was much earlier and really didn't bring them a lot of profit... it was more of a gift to dedicated fans.

This mystery is more about the the hunt going viral, like the way movies like Cloverfield were marketed... and if that is so, it probably won't go much further than a Jetpack and if we are really lucky, a silly little flyable UFO... I don't see hidden levels or some amazing gift born of artistic passion that will take years to discover(if that is what you are suggesting)...

I hope we are not wasting our time, but I'm sure if there is something, it really is hidden in a confusing yet accessible manner... nothing with a real deep, (or even "Brian-esque") quest behind it.

I considered the possibility of there being some hidden "Alien Invasion" level, maybe as a way of thumbing their nose at Saints Row... Back in GTA 4, Rockstar had some rivalry going on with the people who produced "Driver", GTA III had a character, a corrupt undercover cop named Tanner who was supposed to be a likeness of Tanner from Driver... The Next "Driver" game had a character who looked like Tommy Vercetti, whom you had to chase down, but would drown because he couldn't swim... sort of pay back for the Tanner joke. I think it ended there, but the original rivalry may have been because some programmers were fired or switched companies... I forget... When I first heard of the alien subtext in GTA V I was hoping there would be a cheat that would spawn attacking Aliens, similar to the "Riot" codes in the previous games... But at this point I think that is not a logical hope anymore.

an it was solved? sorry for the ignorance

Ive read posts before that there could be a way to change the paths in the game history, there are some missions that give you simple trophies with simple artwork, but then there are other missions that also give you trophies but with the infinite symbol on it, missions like submersible, blitze. Why this ones have that symbol on their trophies? And these ones are long important missions. Maybe is a hidden place to go or collect

My opinion is that replaying missions does hold SOME significance.

 

The assumption is that replaying missions HAS NO EFFECT on your game but, this isn't the case. No prompts say you won't effect you game and i can't find in any interview where anyone form R* says this is the case.

 

the prompt you get just says it's creating a restore point so you can come directly back to this point when done replaying the mission.(convenience) nothing about not having an effect on your game.

 

The whole MW Heists X's leads me to believe there are more thing we missed(clues) during missions that link things together.

 

as always, i could be wrong though, so take this iwht a grain of salt.

most important reason for beeing able to replay the missions would be the achievment imo nobody is gonna play every mission over and over to get gold before gooing on the next mission , and it would be silly to punish you (aka never been able to get the achievment anymore) because choose not play every mission 2-7 times before moving on Edited November 9, 2013 by Snipey

I have an interesting theory about the Infinite 8 Killer burials. Has anyone tried looking for a UFO above those islands?

 

If tried or already mentioned I'm sorry for the old news.

 

Also those Ufo's spawn at interesting locations.

 

I don't count the underwater UFO.

But this is my Idea.

At 100%, 3AM and Stormy Weather try this and use The Buzzard to fly above Mt. Chiliad and The UFO.

 

Then go from UFO to UFO. FZ UFO and Then SS UFO.

 

Also another UFO Spot with a Radio Tower and Curvy roads is The Vinewood Sign. A UFO could spawn there. But I'm at 45% and I'm busy. There are alot of good games released this year.

 

Good Luck if anything works.

I did notice lastnigt online that the mini gun i think said you had to be level 120 to unlock so who knows what the cap is

 

I saw a picture here of a level 1000 !! yes 1000.

[GTA Worthy]

See the only reason I say it doesn't effect gameplay is because of the replay of option A and B if you originally chose C. When you're restored to the save point you can still play as M and T.. But then again maybe cause that's drastic gameplay change.. But if you replay a mission to get a mission only car or whatever you can't keep it cause it restores you. Im almost 100% positive it does nothing except stat wise I.e. Gold medal when you originally got Silver.. Idk

I agree that it doesn't physically alter the game world, that wouldn't make sense if it did.

 

I was just pointing out that there is a high chance of clues being in those missions AND that the general concensus of the outcomes not changing anything is not supported by anything other than assumptions iirc.

[XMarqstheSpot]

Anyone tried(probably not, lol) going through the game without killing anybody using the Fail/Skip and Taxi quick destination methods?

 

Only way i can think of to not kill anyone.

 

1. Die and skip EVERY mission.

 

2. Use Taxi's to quick travel as to not kill any Ped's.

 

3. Being SUPER careful when these are not available options.

 

 

was thinking i might try this, it can't take too long to kill yourself and skip everything.

 

Except you HAVE to kill the guard on the first mission, unfortunately.

[trusk89]

I ve never seen anyone mention the alien drawn giant cilindres. Has it been discussed?
