GTA V Metaphors, Philosophy and Hidden Meanings.

[Skoomafox]

Hi there, interwebs.

 

I have, as many others, followed this thread and reddit the last couple of months, getting inspiration for stuff to look into when I ran out of ideas myself. Just five minutes ago i visited the "cave" or hole in rock, the location with the green light reflecting on the water. Dived down to the mission entrance (for the Monkey Business mission), and noticed the light down there are green. I'm pretty sure the reflection on the water are caused by that, areas with triggers tend to act a little odd, when they're not activated.. For example, even though I am RIGHT at the gate, then pause the game and look at the map, i'm not shown exactly the right spot, 'cause I'm in the middle of a trigger/neutral area.. Sorry if that was a bit confusing, english is not my first language.

 

Another thing in that area, the golden trees. Now, I know it's been debunked as a glitch, and it probably is.. But R* released several patches and updates, without fixing that error. And if they spent time on reddit and other forums, as they say, they can't have missed that people were pointing that out

And yeah, the golden spruce, but you probably already know: Golden Spruce.

 

BTW, got 100% (LEGIT&SELFMADE$$$) and, SURPRISE, I took option C.

 

And sorry if I'm just repeating page 120-someting, but I had to start somewhere.. what better place than here, what better time than NOOOOOW

https://db.tt/Z8NNoyUO okay this eye is not black like the eye on the left im gonna investigate this site once more n update a better pic and more details of what I have to think about this

[Whiley0151]

Yo I've been following the thread for a few weeks now and habe been Trying all the ideas, theories etc. I don't know if this has been brought up before but it's about the hippy camp in SS , there are hippys hanging around there and I overheard one say 'yeh if you look over from a satellites some of the rocks align' which I though was strange and also the 2 abandonded and painted vehicles have both the same license plate on the front ' RSLOHP12' but on the van with this on the front License on the back it says 'bee pea'

[Whiley0151]

Also just found a cement mixer on the hippy camp(random I know) butt there was the letters GS on it along with 7-3 on it? Maybe grove street number 4 or number 73 I don't know

[~Tiger~]

I overheard one say 'yeh if you look over from a satellites some of the rocks align'

 

 

The Hippy's remarks are generally parodies of things neo-pagans and pseudo earth-mystery 'researchers' say in real life about standing stones, stone circles, ley lines etc.

@Karoi

What about the floating seaweed?

 

@Whiley0151

That mixer says, "POWER METAL" on the top of it.

[Whiley0151]

Yep it says power metal on the top handle but in paint it has it written on in 2 places

[Whiley0151]

I have pictures but don't know how to post them any help but it mite just be nothing and a dead end

Ok so Im fully aware this could just be a fan seeing what he wants to see, or hes claiming it as a nod to him or whatever but Im willing to give it a try (benefit of the doubt) but I need some help!

 

Check out his tweet to me (@SaveableOne, joined just to harass Epsilon, and him aswell if this leads to anything)questionable he was told not to say anything but he links me to a cipher codebreaker!

 

Anyone know anything about Cipher messages? An encoded message of letters & numbers with a key to translate, something like E=F therefore E=6 etc

Sort of like spy stuff

Just a sidenote there were puzzles with cipher code very similiar to the sign in LA Noirs "Nicholson Electroplating" DLC if anyone remembers it.

 

Could it be worth tracking this NPC down in Paleto who he claims is him? We've followed up on crazier leads for sure,ill look into it now anyway since I cant see deadmans green light at the bay

[cwspellowe]

I've been working on that for the last couple of hours, check the Paleto Bay Burger sign. Not been able to find him yet after two full day cycles anywhere in Paleto Bay

This guy is OLD with GREY HAIR and he thinks a ped that is a younger man with black hair is meant to be him?...

 

 

Unless he's meaning metaphorical, which he certainly seems to be, IMHO.

 

Also, he could just be nuts.

Lets see if we can get something out of his cipher clue first,, then its probably worth a shot to spend time looking for this NPC, he could just be full of sh*te, all he has is his twitter handle in the sign & an NPC who he says is "him" not much to beleive there but if we can find a key to translate the code in cipher text and its a real message....we'll know he was helping us.

There are ALOT of different NPCs in the game it could take a long time to find this one and might not yield much more guidance on the matter even if found...

His bio says "Jeffrey Michael Jackson is an American singer/songwriter born June 22, 1984"

Yeah i know it could just be a joker but if hes gonna give us a clue we should at least give it a go...nothing to lose

 

 

 

"Unless he's meaning metaphorical, which he certainly seems to be, IMHO.

There is a very thin line between the two it seems sometimes my friend.

 

@deadman, I suspect hes not "in the game" but maybe hes a friend of someone, and someone sent him a Tweet or message on the sign or something,inhouse joke? Its not much to go on and it seems shady ill agree, just giving it a chance, probably best to ignore it until I can figure out cipher messages and if hes just bullsh*tting! I dont have much faith in this Jeff guy, but I do have faith there is definitely something up with this sign!

I've just found something strange under the ocean..

 

(Not the hatch )

 

 

It's a flat rectangular structure and it's got pipes going in and out and 4 lights round it , one in each corner.

Anyone know if this has been counted for and what it actually is?

 

Been following these threads from the start and don't recall seeing it.

 

I'm thinking maybe it's where the secret weapon was that Trevor stole. It is n/w of paleto bay.

About the green light. It might be the reference spot for the mt. Chilliad UFO? Idk, but I know some games are created in different layers, with reference spots, so it looks like there is somewhere else.

I recommend that you take a look at this movie from 1997, called: "Contact" it reminded me about this mystery, satelite discs, where one or two are located in a different way than the others.

Another thing in that area, the golden trees. Now, I know it's been debunked as a glitch, and it probably is.. But R* released several patches and updates, without fixing that error. And if they spent time on reddit and other forums, as they say, they can't have missed that people were pointing that out

 

They never worked into fixing single player, the patches were mostly about Online. Not even the annoying cops. I pretty much doubt they're caring for the golden trees, really.

Care to weigh in with your conclusions after watching the movie?

Well, not entirely true, they did add some extra content with some of the patches for SP too. Small things, and some bug fixes.. And "annoying" cops? How are they annoying? Are they trying to shoot you down, while you're busy killing people?

 

I don't really don't get why people complain about the cops in this game. Have you forgotten all about IV? THAT was stupid, annoying cops..

 

But yeah, I have no real theory on why they should have been put there. It might be a little detail, just to indicate that weird chemicals are to be found in the Humane Labs and mutations can/will happen

 

Just some late, tired brainfog talk. Sorry.

What i find great about these little oddities like the yellow trees etc is you can apply cool little theories to them like your one above, glitch or no glitch thats whats the cause of them for me now anyway!

Sort of like the golden egg in the silo.....its a lighting glitch or whatever but damn, you just cant say "that aint no big ol' giant golden egg" now can you?

[datsuperlemonhaze]

Since we're talking about Contact, I think that movie influenced that final puzzle in Fez. IIRC, in Contact they had to assemble the pages into a three dimensional shape in order to make sense of it. And in Fez's final puzzle, the pages which are given have to be assembled into a hexagon, or rather you pick letters based on the way a line would intersect a three-dimensional shape made from the pages. I think...I don't know, it's still a little murky to me.
