GTA V Metaphors, Philosophy and Hidden Meanings.

[cocogen2003]

sorry to post this again, but i havent checked the MC podium yet, and the Hippy camp(house or small church) and Raton Canyon podiums(man standing on paleto bay delta) have obvious objects on them that arent there in game...ideas¿ ive searched this in this topic already and found nothing.

@ungreth... PURPLE?? You should get that looked at bro!! Lol

 

@deadmans light... i get the reflection thing perfectly... i would also say it is reflected from the mountain (or above it)

 

I say this because in JPs pics he posted, you can see the obvious outline of the top of the mountain and the light appears in the sky above it... this leads me to believe its either in the sky or in the water...

 

Im a little busy today but i will get in game again and go see if i can pin point what it is.

 

 

 

Also thanks to tgas, we should soon have collision models for the whole community (no need to have the game files, just a model viewing program you can DL for free) this will mean, we can choose a section of the map and comb it in a 3d model viewer to see if there are any false walls...

 

You will see an opening where it should be solid if there is a false wall... then if you find one you can go ingame and see if it works ... it will also work on doors... if a door can open you will see a hole in the wall with no door, if it cannot open you will see a solid wall.

 

 

Also people mentioned not being able to understand our recent excitement in the files topic regarding the egg... well basically we now have good evidence that the alien egg may be in an interior of the game somewhere... we are waiting on someone to break .xmap and .xtyp files open for us and then we will know more... if the alien egg and certain other models are not used in these .xtyp files or .xmap files we will be relatively certain they are not used in game... if they are used in the .xmap and .xtyp files we will be able to locate them in the game world...

 

So yeh, pretty excited lol

Wow I totally missed that bit about the egg, very cool! So what indicates it's hidden in an interior?

 

edit- Combed through the previous page of File Hunt, got it. Milo sections. Catching up on the lingo

@tadd sounds promising with the egg, perhaps that barn with the guy and his clip board. Who knows lol.

 

Erm regarding your theory that you sent in PM, no offence intended but if you post it make sure the word theory is clear at the top. I can see you have spent a lot of time in producing what you have but unfortunately for me it looks like you have taken many of the theories being thrown around and tried to neatly sew them together in the most rational way possible in order to produce an outcome(solved). Don't get me wrong it makes sense but just doesn't seem right yet. Hope that makes sense dude.

 

@xmarqs and ungreth. Gotta be more with the dino, skull and colour purple.

 

@deadman. So sorry for your loss bro.

I haven't seen anything special, someone else?

I asked /r/whatisthis http://redd.it/1wi8zc, it appears to resemble the character Wang (王) in Mandarin. Translates to king

 

 

 

Well, R* likes putting wangs on tarmacs

@Simone Manektic

 

If you look at your map there is more than just the docks in 5-i . That's just the most prominent thing that's there. Some ocean and there are docks to the left. I hope there is some conditions like rain/lighting etc. involved also.

I agree, and about the ocean; back in the V1 some people were saying;``the oceans are fully explored`` because of a ``no water mod``... I find that hard to believe since the ocean is so vast!

 

So a glyph, a cavern, a clue could be easily hidden somewhere under water... and overlooked.

 

 

I was the one who search using the 'no water mod', Alamo Sea was empty, just some sand. Also the ocean was empty except for the corals and stuff. I have been there with a car, quad and motorbike. Also I have flown over the sea, I have seen nothing weird. Also what was strange with the mod is that the small river (the one with the waterfalls and the so called cave) still had water. Somehow this could not be removed (according to the mod maker). I will hook up my XBOX 360 later this day, most likely in the evening (it's 7 AM now) and take some screenshots for you.

 

there's a crashed cargo plane in the alamo sea...

 

 

True, but I was talking about secret signs or entrances and stuff.

 

^^ but we all know thats not true.

 

Tje alamo sea does have somthing in it as does the sea.

Crashed planes, sunken ships, weapons, body armour, health packs, sea monster, sharks, UFO, dead bodies etc

Now if the no water mod removes anything like that then it becomes interesting.

I do remember someone saying they had done somtning like gone over the sea and the alamo sea on foot, on bike, on motor bike, in a car and flown over.

I still think water needs searching with water there. We may miss shadows or reflections etc otherwise.

 

 

Its ok X, i just didnt want you to think i wad being negative. Looking back i can see where mentioning the tunnel code panel lights might have come across as me insinuating it was a lighting glitch. I wasnt.

Were good.

 

All that stuff except is there. Things like sharks, jetski's and stuff spawn but when you get closer they just drop down to the sand and become unusable (the sharks die right away). I haven't come across weird signs or entrances but I'm willing to check the light thing out. I wisht I had a capture device (if someone wants to get me one, let me know ), but I will post a ton of screenshots until I have one.

 

@karoi

 

we all know how precise we need to be to visually spot a glyph on one side of chilliad.

 

so in your opinion; do you think its possible some spots have been missed in the oceans...?

 

It's always possible. I still think there is more to the mural, the space docker, the alien signs, glyphs and ufo's but only Rockstar Games know for sure. But I highly doubt that they made it so incredible difficult that we need to take the game apart and use mods to find it. I think if there is something, that it will be simple to unlock. Somehow I find the Halo 3 IWHBYD skull unlock method very plausible for this situation. Doing stuff in a certain order to unlock something or maybe it's a fake wall again. Anyways, back on topic. I will try and search again and I will post my findings, in screenshots unfortunately.

@fender, you got it man... and the wang sounds about right for rockstar lol

 

@tsf... thanks for your input bro and i agree, it is a lot of the most logical theories mixed with a little of my own interpretation... i couldnt avoid this and nor can any theory people have because so much has been tried already we are all bound to use a little of each others ideas...

 

and just to be clear to anyone reading my theory, i am in no way saying there is nothing left to find or that the mural may not have other interpretations or uses...

 

Just for me, with all of it gathered together, they are in my eyes the most logical ideas and clues R* intended us to take from the mural... we may find something that suddenly makes the mural clearer to us, but if this is it and there is nothing more but metaphor and some little EEs around, then i feel we have our answers in regards to the mural.

 

Just my opinions anyway

 

As i said thank you for your input though

@tadd speaking of the wang, ahum, 3 characters. 3 kings. I remember interviews before release mentioning watching friends on TV in a police chase, most likely talking about online? I have 360, and don't want to pay for Live; it is counter intuitive IMHO.

 

Maybe, just maybe (?!?) we need to gain notoriety in game (SP), and become a king of media (ie justin bieber )? In car chases, things where the news chopper follows us? (edit...deja vu, I think someone shared that long ago..)

 

This is probably too illustrious, but although, please people, no new theories. IDEAS. Not ikea....

 

A logical pattern, not a convoluted rationale. A thought that makes sense, not just to you, but in your gut. If it feels wrong, or you are self-doubting, go with your gut.

 

Besides that, regarding the Paleto symbols on RON signs, I posted this on reddit, they don't fancy this "Man in the Maze" http://redd.it/1wcf6v

These are experiments I performed in PS.

The top half of symbol fits, or at least makes some sense.

Here at the top, the man sits and looks at his path.

 

Not apologizing for text wall; I'm getting it all out, no more responses from me today! Cheers

so if the main mound at the hippy camp might represent MC with the rain glyph, then the other mound would represent Josiah¿ Right now im at Trevor's weed farm east base of MC, waiting to see if any of the cows get beamed up. Gonna do my best with an extensive comb of Josiah after

@tirkane kinda resembles the figure of the Fort UFO..and after thinkin of that, it has windows remarkably similar to a stealth bomber

The satellite dish is pointing up and over them over them.

 

I think it's pointing at the Altruist Camp....

1-6, What version of the map is this? Collectors? I'm basing this idea off of the regular map. I didn't think there was a smaller map available.

my maps a regular map and only goes 1-6

[Scoobysrt]

@timesteal,

 

There are a number of maps, mine is a standard edition map, it only goes to 6 and doesnt have a shark on it.

Others go to 6 and do have the shark.

Theres those that go to 7 and donor dont have the shark.

 

I dont know what the special edition map has or how many varients there are.

Thats the tunnel used in the Monkey Business mission, where you break into the Humane Labs

@fender... i mentioned a while back about maybe getting media coverage of yourself and then going to a UFO lol

 

Never followed it up

Could someone who has used the "No water" mod confirm whether or not stuff that is there "with water" (stuff we know for sure about) is missing or not?

 

If anything is missing, this brings into question whether the "No water mod" is of any use at all and gives false results.

 

If nobody can confirm this, is it possible for someone who does use mods, to use the no water mod and go look and see if stuff, especially the downed cargo plane (if they have already crashed the plane) is where it should be.

 

This could be pretty important since many people have just blown off the ocean and sea due to some people's negative reports when using the mod.

 

Thank you.

When switching stations on the tv between Weazel news/Your Car garage cctv/Front Door cctv/Other player cam/ in online mode.........you will get the UFO interference blurred lines for a moment when the channel is tuning, the exact same, whether it was just reused for a static effect or it means something (not likely) its definitely the same interference on screen when switching between those channels.

Hello, you rang? What do you want to know? Eveything is there except the water, so the plants and the sunken UFO are all there. Sharks spawn but die on spawning and just fall to the ground.

[LiquidNitrogen]

Maybe with the no water mod certain things may still not be there though. You never know.
