GTA V Metaphors, Philosophy and Hidden Meanings.

Quick question... The egg symbol (containing a crack) and the egg symbol on the bank in paleto bay. Bit of a stretch but you could say when you robbed the bank you 'cracked the egg' then there was the disproportionate response by the police I mean a small robbery of a bank in the middle of nowhere even if it was the bank containing the corrupt cops ill gotten funds it seems strange they would call in the army. Sorry just thinking aloud here!! What I'd like to ask is had any link been found between pale to bay bank and the mural in general?? The bank and paleto bay being so close would surely contain some kind of clue...

Probably because most of both police and the army were corrupt?

So... Ive seen post about completeing the game 100% & getting all gold on all missions. Sure the 100% matters for the UFO however, true 100% & all gold has shown no different hunt results. I assume this has been asked due to the "come here when your story is complete"?

So let's get to the brass tax here.....

Has anyone gotten ALL achievements complete for the game? (sorry, trophies for PS people)

I get that there corrupt but the amount being stolen (I'm assuming we emptied the vault completely) seems to small to justify such a big reaction. I dont think the robbery itself relates to the mystery but it seems the bank has far more protection than is needed. If I'm right this is the only time we can enter the bank?? Like I said just thinking aloud here but I do think paleto bay with its odd twin peaks feel to it could be a part of any mystery relayed to mt chiliad itself.

About the bank robbery:

I never used the tunnel drilling machine during this part. For those who have, is the hole you dig still there after the mission is over?

We spoke in pm.

 

@Everyone else. Does anyone besides me have all golds and 100% and actively searching here with us ? Id like to rule it out but im only one person lol

I know other people said they had it but that was a while ago and they no longer post here.

[TouchDownBoy]

@Garo I saw that 1807 thing a few months back. Thought nothing much of it at first. But then I drove by it this morning and it had me searching high and low. Cant find anything. Ive looked online for answers and people are saying that its connected to a murder house, others are saying that its something to do with the murder of CJ's mother. Im guessing that would make it on Grove Street. But it has a strawberry near it. This is all what came to mind when I searched this morning. Im sure that people on the forum should have some info on it though.

 

Also @Strangone50

I think that is probably gonna be my next task. I wanna get a true 100% with this thing!

[TouchDownBoy]

Reckon theres gonna be anything in this 'Business Update' that will give us any new clues?

That's a good observation you have there, I recall that mission and I think you're talking about the one where you have a ballistic vest (reminded me of some call of duty attire) but the law did respond with a little bit of overkill on that mission,

 

Could just be how it's supposed to be I've never robbed a bank so I'm not sure hahaha but that's a good point

Reckon theres gonna be anything in this 'Business Update' that will give us any new clues?

No just cars, suits, a mask maybe, and probably a weapon or two, but I did hear that they're trying to get it to where you can Own a business online for an easier Income source ( would help immensely btw) oh and don't forget any glitch they have knowledge of they'll be nerfing those as well

 

Should be a nice lil add on at least

 

 

Forgot to mention they'll also be putting another little plane in too, it's on YouTube to see a lil sneak peak of some pics

 

 

 

And That's one thing I dislike, the amount of enterable buildings shrink with every gta coming out, there was more to enter in San Andreas which doesn't make sense to me I'm guessing there's somewhere huge that we've never seen yet because it doesn't seem like we've seen everything

 

But then again there's only so much data that one disc can hold so that's probably more reason for a dlc

[TouchDownBoy]

Yeah that makes sense. Im sure whatever they do give us will be awesome. I was just thinking that if they're giving us some more story as well that there might be something else in it.

The point you made about not been able to enter buildings is something that really bugs me too. Thats something that I loved about San Andreas. Burglaries were awesome!

Im hoping that the next gen GTAs will bring with it enterable buildings

Yeah if they were to put a little more story in with every small dlc that would keep player at the edge of their seat and give the game much more longevity than it already has, would be a smart move but I'm sure rockstar is going to give us just what we want in the future it's worth the wait

I came across this as a result of the Christopher Lloyd movie posted above, of all things.

 

Some interesting concepts are shared with The Epsilon Program.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_the_Law

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema - Maybe the Thelema and Louise scene is more of a clue that we know.

The religion, as well as many others utilize a numbering system for words - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria

 

It also lead me to this:

And as a bonus,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium - Element 88 It's Elemental symbol is Ra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen - N

This is what I believe is the connection with the Rainbow Lasers I'm always going on about.

 

RaVeN?

 

Good luck Hunters.

Sure the grave is something, tucked under a tree and hidden by a bush. It's definetly not random but, from what's gathered ( u can see through rock @ right angle) it's just one of those large graves that can be found in other locations. A concrete grave sticking out of rock? R☆ pays attention to detail just to make the grave 4 no reason.

I tried flying under the map to investigate but couldn't make it across the swamp:(

Here you go

Spot on Garo the mission with the big bomb proof armour. I know I could be trying to apply to much real world logic here but surely a bank robbery with takings of about 20 million just couldn't justify a full blown military response it just wouldn't make economic sense then again maybe r* just wanted to make an awesome set piece and a cool mission (which they did) and to do enjoy it we have to forget real world logic... To be honest if it hadn't been for the image of an egg and (can't check this right now) that the sign refers to 'your nest egg' I might not have paid this bank any attention but yes i just think Paleto Bay has more to offer than we think.

[timesteal]

Thanxz Stipeyy

[Garo]

There's also another eater egg in strawberry for anyone who hasn't seen it, it's around the corner from the strip club, inbetween the highway there is an alley underneath, not where the hobos hangout but after that, there a single laned type alley on each side of the road, at the end of each alley it says stuff.

 

It's been discussed on here a while back but just briefly,

 

Just go under the highways (stay on the roads) by the strip club and it's like literally the next block up from the strip club,

 

Horrible at giving directions haha but if you look you'll see it right away

 

One side says nothing here! With a door next to it,

Across the street on the other side says TURN BACK in white on the ground in spray paint, idk if it's a movie reference but I haven't been able to get any further with it

Why can you land a helicopter on top of the middle dome at the Obersvatory?

Trevor are in the helicopter after he had some time with Ursula (he landed before the rain stopped) and Franklin are the one who took the four photos. Trevor are not moving at all even if you switch from Trevor to another one.

The observatory are like a straight line to the center of Mount Chiliad and I wonder if you need one of the character with a helicopter stand on the "button" on top of the middle dome and Franklin are on Chiliad and driving one of the Sanchez down of the mountain to the doors T01 and T02? Or do you need two of the characters if you see the fifth to last image, that the lower-level platform has similiar lines as the one on top of the middle dome? Like a second character also land with a chopper or need to land with help of a parachute?

how a strawberry becomes a mountain

 

 

I'm so tired...

 

I didn't think that was a strawberry, I thought it looked like a heart when I first noticed this section of the map. In fact, I think I found that part of the map by folding the physical paper map that came with the game in half both ways, and the strawberry/heart is what is right in the middle. Sorry if someone has already mentioned that, I haven't kept up with all posts.

[XMarqstheSpot]

Paradoilia, in a video game?

 

Every "Seam" for a texture in a video game is meticulously lined up to make sure it does so and leaves no gaps.

 

A video game is not a randomly created form of media, it did not evolve to be what it is, it was hand crafted, piece by piece, and you would be a fool to think that these "Paradoilia" visions being seen throughout the game are somehow random themselves.

 

People spend multiple hours on every structure/building in the game to make sure it is complete and finished before signing off on it, these things couldn't have simply slipped by unnoticed when you really think about it.

 

Kifflom!

 

EDIT: Intentional or not, they are still just "Kraff Toast" on some random walls, they don't help to solve anything in any way, so...

 

EDIT 2: And to clear one thing up that slightly irritates me, when you guys say "Kraff Toast" it shows that you don't understand. Not that it's a bad thing, you have chosen to not be interested and that's all good but, i wish you guys would use the proper term of such things, which would actually be "Cris Toast".

 

Kraff is not in the "Jesus" position of the heiarchy.

It's all 8.

 

It all leads to itself.

 

It's everywhere.

 

It is so obviously everywhere in game that if you are not seeing it then you are being willingly ignorant.

 

 

 

for example, 1 symbol leads to 3 Religions that used it, which in turn lead to 3 religions each, etc. etc. this eventually comes full circle(or 8) and leads back around to the original Religion but, only from another Symbol by that time, which in turn starts the process over again.

 

It goes on infinitely.

 

to even archive it all would be a majorly exhaustive mental task in itself.

There is nothing there.

Nothing at all.

 

What you are seeing are blurry textures thanks to the console limitation.

I get what you're saying, I just said Kraff-toast because that's the term we've been using..

 

I've always seen Cris as the "Jesus" of the game... But my reason may be different:

 

Jesus Christ ~ Cheesus Christ ~ Cris Fromage (Fromage = cheese, IIRC)

 

LOL :-P

 

Edit: Sorry, this would have been more appropriate in the metaphorical thread, but was in response to a post here. So... Justified, I guess... :-/

Except if the fact that "the past" path no longer as a road and be buried underground means that a character is at the end of its path and must die.

I'm not going to call "Brian Toast" just yet, look at the texture beneath it. It's off center. If the center of the toast isn't the edge of the texture then it's not toasty, it's a picture of a humanoid.
