GTA V Metaphors, Philosophy and Hidden Meanings.

[jp9865]

Sorry for the double post but using my phone and can't edit or quote for some reason. Found another sign. In vinewood hills by the big orange ball juice shack place anyway this sign says baytree canyon view. Only canyons in game are banham and raton I believe. Did rockstar change all the place names bit didn't check these? Are they really getting that lazy? With their attention to detail?

[Xavina]

R* people are lazy. Always were and still are. This happened in San Andreas mostly. And yes, they changed the names of the places, for example: remember Los Puerta Freeway? That was a very poor spanish (Los is plural), they changed it to La Puerta, which is correct. That could happen with Vespucci (Vespucci is more of an italian cliché than Vespuco) and other names.

Amerigo Vespucci:

the "Italian explorer, financier, navigator and cartographer who first demonstrated that Brazil and the West Indies did not represent Asia's eastern outskirts as initially conjectured from Columbus' voyages, but instead constituted an entirely separate landmass hitherto unknown to Afro-Eurasians. Colloquially referred to as the New World, this second super continent came to be termed "America", deriving its name from the feminized Latin version of Vespucci's first name."

Ahh yes, I always knew him by the name of Americo Vespucio, now I see the reference.

@jp

You should be able to edit even on the mobile version of the site

simply click or tap on the post and it should bring up the option to edit

If not you can always scroll down to the bottom of the page and you should see a button that says Full Version, but the mobile version of the site does allow you to edit

Took a break today from GTA and went to skyrim, turns out I couldn't get away from the "Eye" fml. Lol X I am in anticipation of what you have. Can't wait.

I think, iirc, the online character starts out as yellow for his compartment.

 

i remember having an "Oh sh*t" moment wheni realized the yellow is the online character.

 

whatever it means

 

EDIT: PURELY SPECULATION UNTIL PROVEN.

 

They match the colours of the flags in the big art square in the middle of the city with all the weird sculptures, always wondered wtf that place is all about, anyway on those flags you have elemental symbols. fire, water, earth and air. The observatory is involved also, check this out, again not my find http://hyperritual.com/doc/portfolio/de_alchemia_cybernetica/ whatever is going on is very deep and linked to alchemy and hinduism.

 

Look Familiar?...

 

 

These are the lines in the ground at the Observatory.

 

The real observatory lines represent solar cycles but, these in the game are different.... i wonder why?

 

Things that make you go "Hmm?"

Because ingame the sunrise at two différent locations(depending the location of your characters location; blaine county(i.e lago Z) or los santos(i.e S/E beach).

 

I've noticed this and I'm not the only one (i suppose you have see this too).

 

But why, i'm not sure at the point of my investigation about this.

 

But Absolutely a thing to understand.

I went to the Altruist camp and looked at all the drawings they have everywhere. They talk about an Eye and it being their father, I also noticed that you can get a clear view of the Mt. Chilliad UFO from the camp and it looks like an eye due to the lights on the bottom, connection...?

[Scoobysrt]

Tirk, your theory might be better made in one post. It's going to be impossible to follow if it's split up.

[spoziuk]

It may be my mind going into overdrive, but perhaps the FZ elevator is a hint rather than an actual access point. There is one other elevator that has a "-1" on the floor display; Humane labs. A few things seem to point to there

 

- The chimps from the ufo/drug mission

- The -1 elevator

- Cryogenics (frozen alien)

- Glowing trees (Our path is lit)

- Graffiti around the pool (D2W ZANE POPEY)

 

I'm thinking perhaps the grafiti could be a cipher, but I'm not turning up any decent results

you can see the ufo from the altruists? you mean then also at 3am when it rains ?

I myself want to know if this is true.

If it is then that could be helpful.

[XMarqstheSpot]

Agreed, i don't fully understand why they are different since the Observatory was copied so close to the original.

 

Why not just copy the real ones if they don't mean anything, right?

 

 

Might not pertain to anything we are looking for, or the Mystery thread is looking for but, the Observatory seems like it is the last big EE that needs solving.

[XMarqstheSpot]

No, you can not see it from the Altruist Camp, at any time or weather.

 

And on another note, i hate to flog a dead horse but, i can't help to still think that the Red X options for heists have something to do with something other than being just coincidental.

[Crimie]

@Spoziuk that graffiti at the Humane Labs is kind of strange alright ,

D2W ZANE POPEY

reminds me of the Famous Hamburgers sign (or Infamous Hamburgers sign) J6 JEFF FIGO

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Having a look through all linked domains on the rockstar servers to see if theres any clues. Seems like they're in it for the long-run, http://gtaviii.com/ was registered on 25/02/2014

[TirkaneX]

Imo, the sentence, "another world is possible" will find all his sense when the mural will be completely rearranged.

Believe me I work ardently on it.

 

This entirely rearranged mural show a totally différent map.

 

This mural is not here only to find the three gifts but also to show an another place and how to access on this place.

 

with a sun who turn normally, where all turn normally.

 

You can also note that, near the monolith of the beach there's a sort of unfinished structure who is in fact a sundial,

 

like this(this one too beautifull but this is just for illustrate):

 

That we must keep in mind is the fact the sun don't move. The earth move around itself and around the sun.

 

But because the rotations are asynchronous, the sun always rises in the east is always sets in the west at the same place.

In the case of this game, or rotations are not completely asynchronous, or the sun moves.

I believe the Space Docker has to be used somehow to fix the broken satellite.

Somehow Fort Zancudo and the Altriust camp play a BIG role in this, obviously.

The elevator is pointless. Just another thing to mislead people.

Somebody should mark each glowing tree, and see if it has a significance. Then mark each UFO spawn point. Those are undoubtedly big clues.

I can tell you, the very LAST step in obtaining the jetpack would be to do yoga.

I also believe one of the UFOs will be flyable, not just the jetpack.

Again the Altruists camp (in my game), after T clears the camp:

 

-T goes there (heli or car/foot) – camp is empty;

-M or F go there (heli) – camp is full and everyone flees as the heli approaches;

-M or F go there (car/foot) – camp is full, all altruists standing at their spots and react (attack) as if the killing never took place before.

 

It’s also possible to go there with T and find the camp full. You just have to place T at the camp (or nearby, it also works if he is outside close by), switch to M or F and pick some heli/taxi to go there until some altruist is spotted. Then switch back to T (that will be standing right where you lefted him...) and the camp will also be full for him and their reactions/attacks are then the same as for M or F. Most probably a switch related glitch.

 

But I still found it very strange that every single time I go there with T alone, the camp will be totally empty while with M or F is full!?

This is leaning me to think (with some backup from the game scripts posted at file thread by cwspellowe), and as others have already stated, that there really is “something else” to be done there (with T, after the camp is cleared) and imo probably it’s not mandatory to perform this “something else” immediately after the killing, hence why camp remains empty for T (kinda standing-by waitting for a trigger).

 

Always thought that after delivering 4 people there and killing the nudists, should have some kind of extra reward other than just collecting some $ and being able to walk freely there with T.

 

@above - about the glowing trees, there's a lot of them just outside Humane Labs fence (SE corner), no glitch there imo.

I like your theory.

I don't think there's a "glitch" with the trees, just that they have a significance. Now that you mention it, it's even more suspicious that a lot of them are located by the Humane Labs.

 

This is a very well-thought out Easter egg. We just need to think like game developers would.

I also think the jetpack is located in the "building" on top of Chiliad, behind the mural.

If you look at the doors, 3 of them are open but ones closed.

 

It's behind there.

Possible, but then, having sold how many million copies, if it was a matter of getting the right team behind you, choosing the right people etc, I would of thought every combination has been tried.

"With men all things are possible, but with women, all things are impossible if you can't stay out of the kitchen."

Just some small correction there Tirk.

General consensus for the phrase, back at V1 when this interpretation was posted (sorry, can't remember by whom), was:

 

"With man all are possible but with women all things are impossible. If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen"

way off from the truth and start of it all. why is it the elevators all say -1 but the elevator is on ground floor? when doors open u can see the elevator is there on your floor. possible that we are on -1 and the ground floor is in the sky....

 

in other words the fort z elevator is there on -1 but doors open and you can see its on your floor ....well that means the green light is elevator shaft to floor one which imo is the fort z ufo .......have fun thinking about this.

if the "x" are hiests.

could they be the people you choose?

I never used the hacker from the lifeinvader mission.

maybe certain recruits enble conspiracy convos and openers.....
