The GTA V Secrets and Mysteries Hunt

[auntjeff]

I'm gonna have to post in here then.... http://gtaforums.com/topic/680675-gta-v-metaphors-philosophy-and-hidden-meanings/

 

I can't think of anything else to try out or speculate on...time to go balls deep the other direction now, I guess.

[CanOdope]

On the subject of the "Wow!" Signal, something that I keep coming back to is the fact that it only lasted 72 seconds...

 

Maybe, as mentioned many times before, by many other hunters, there is a certain time frame in which we must achieve/complete something.

 

There's not much you can do within 72 seconds... especially if, say, it required multiple characters. The switch alone sometimes takes that long.

 

I don't really know where to go with this, just thinking outside the box a little. I usually just contemplate these things myself and don't post them, but in the spirit of keeping the thread alive, as well as X's suggestion of "getting crazy", I figured I might as well...

 

Thoughts?

 

EDIT: oops, I guess X's suggestion was in The Mystery Thread...

 

Anyways, I'm going to be focusing on Probe Mountain again for the time being. For anyone interested, I've started my personal breakdown of it on my old forum here:

An entire day and no posts ? Come on guys ! Keep this thread alive ! Just not with bullsh*t theories is all I ask !

It is hard to talk about that stopped being a thing 1 year ago. In fact it's a wonder people still post here...

 

Also if anyone is interested, try checking out the file hunter thread because the PC people might find something that interests you.

[CanOdope]

Still on the subject of the "Wow!" Signal...

 

Something came to mind earlier while thinking about the mystery. I realized that the "Wow!" Signal is the only clue we have that really "breaks the 4th wall". It doesn't refer to anything IG (at least not that I'm aware of), but rather to a real-world event.

 

I still don't know where to go with this, just thought it was interesting...

 

Can you guys think of anything else that "breaks the 4th wall" in relation to the mysteries?

[Vertighost]

If it is a break in the fourth wall, I see a response to the Wow signal was transmitted around August 2012, I know V is set in 2013 apparently and Online is set before that time so could be related...Could the response sent in 2012 mean visitation in 2013 (in GTA V world that is). Although not taking into account the time it takes for the message from Earth to travel across Space... the receiver could be just chilling on, or near Earth already to receive a reply quickly.

the WOW signal was transmited around august in 1977 mate, not in 2012

I find it interesting because it's also in Ohio, like the Big Ear Radio Telescope was.

This has probably already been tested but what happens at 3am in the rain at the location of the second spiderweb?

 

Has anyone tried this out yet?

[Error2k]

People are still searching for easter eggs? It has been fun but seriously. PC version is out for few months now and people looked into every GTA file. There's no more secrets. And those conspiracy theories about some arrows and spiderwebs are just dumb. I just don't see any sense in that.

Unless you looked at every GTA file personally, your claims are dumb...dumberer than you telling us what to do with our time. Circle of Concern, get back in it and get a grip on that first.

 

You are playing the game wrong. Play your own way. There's enough room for all of us in the game and we are the ones that find things...you should go do whatever it is you like to do in the game and be happy. Don't waste time that you could be playing, to come and try to redirect our behavior. It doesn't work. You should know that by now.

Nor has R* stated that the mystery has been solved, either... so, why do you feel so hesitant when there could be a few, "false named" files for a reason?

 

An idea:

 

Has anyone tried using the WOW signal research and used the satellite dish as a start point, instead of Chiliad? I've been wondering about this.

Which satelllite dish are you referring too as there are multiple in the game bro ? Mostly they are in Sandy Shaws. If you mean the large dishes (the array) as it's known (one always points in a weird direction ?) then they are not satellite dishes but radio telescopes. Sorry to wreck your theory. Just so many people assume "well it's "dish shaped" lol with no idea of why. Believe it or not, years ago idiots even tried to connect the direction of the radio telescopes to those TV dishes on Sandy Shaws and the microwave dishes on Fort Zancudo !!!l I think the reddit guys are still trying to connect it !!!l Once they crack that hamburger sign They occasionally have some great ideas, just zero intelligence to back it up. Giant Squidd is the only intelligent person on that sub and I don't know why he continues to even Mod it as it must be so damn frustrating. I only go there to read what Squidd has to say as the rest is all bollocks.Apologies, that was a bit of rant In no way was I having a pop at your post Soulshroude dude. Just needed to vent some gas bro

 

Not a prob, dude... I have been this way in a few forums as well because there are way more naysayers than there are actual hunters. And, half those hunters have begun to redirect the intentions of other hunters as well. So, I know where your coming from.

[Soulshroude]

And now for another theory...

 

Has anyone tried with a new game file, to take each Protagonist to their respectable spiritual affiliations at the beginning of their storylines? Franklin gets a T-Shirt, Mike gets the Epsilon suite and necklace, Trevor becomes an Altruist? And keeping to the doctrine of each cult throughout the entire game.

 

If these three cult descriptions are correct, aside from Trevor... I don't know what cult he actually belongs too... but if we start each of their storylines with them outright joining the cults right away, could we experience different dialog thereby unlocking more of the mysterious mural hints or all around unlocking new areas, or scripts in the game?

 

Just a thought.

nice to see some new blood here, and that could be worth a try but it would require a play thru following those doctrines

I've already started and have began noticing little changes. Such as people on the streets recognizing the attire and Mikes family is acting a tad bit stranger/nicer...

Yeah, it's known that NPC's will greet Michael with a "Kifflom!" when he is wearing his robes. It doesn't happen every time but often enough that we know its something programmed. Nothin happens with the COM T shirt though - even when you are wearing it as Frank and you talk to the woman Jane preaching about COM in front of the fountain at the Rockford Hills City Hall, Trevor doesn't really have anything to wear in a similar vein.

A rough version of my theory that is first outlined and composed by AnEvilVet ..... http://gtaforums.com/topic/603946-decoding-the-mount-chiliad-mural/?p=1063856486

 

 

I found his post after I made the connections. He mentions the UFO being the sunken UFO..and that could be the case, but considering R*s tendency to use symbols to convey something, word play and parody, I have concluded that the agriculture fields better fit this pattern.

 

There are migrant workers in those fields...one would even consider them aliens, in definition. Notice how the box from the Logger Statue actually goes under Paleto Bay along the coastline. This also seems to match up with the mural.

 

I really want there to be a Jetpack but we can't ignore the fact that WE say it's a Jetpack. We say it's a Jetpack shadow on the Altruist rock. We decided that those lines coming from the stickman are propulsion lines and not indicating shiny, sharp or even that statue holding the keg and the keg leaking after you shoot it.

 

I really need some people to pick at this and debunk it. Right now I believe AnEvilVet was right all along.

 

 

I need to convey one last thing to consider regarding the stickman and how it is drawn. A stickman without two legs visible, when drawing in a profile view, would look odd, nobody does that. Two arms, two legs and a head...sometimes some fingers and feet, if you choose. Also, there is nothing else in the game that I know of that resembles a person, handling or holding onto something over/on the shoulder. Last, consider the coincidental location in relation to the Mural, glyphs, egg references in Paleto Bay. These closely related things have to be considered...also the person who tried to draw an axe, if it is an axe, sucks axe at drawing axes.

 

 

I spell axe like this because I think ax looks weird. I would also not put it past R* to be a bit ambiguous in the rendition of the stickman, in order to create confusion, questions and infighting among us. They probably love this stuff.

 

Thanks for reading and any debunks.

Always great to hear something like this, on the rare occasions that it happens. Thanks for the support! I wish it was still as active as it used to be but at least we're still kicking!

@Paranoia - Hey there buddy, glad to have you back!

It is always good to see Elder Posts... I am humbled as a new hunter to the occasion ( at least in this forum, I have been hunting since the game began like all others...) Thank you very much for your return acknowledgement, Sir!!

 

By the by, ALL three protagonist dialog are different. F, T and M's! Sorry if I don't have them accounted for, PC Version, 6th Update. Everything has changed. I'll try to post a dialog sometime soon, but the way I play is fast paced. I'm sure you all understand... Look to the Spacedocker first, when the quest becomes available! And always listen to the radio hints and what each protagonist hints about! This is f*ckin killer!! 36% complete... things have changed.... the Karma thing is a must as well as the Odd Signage of, "these people are important.... or not" take that into consideration! This game is wicked (4th Playthrough!!)!!

Not sure if this has already been covered, presumably it has, but does anyone get a weird kind of 'connected' vibe when they see this:

 

 

and this:

 

 

I'm almost 100% certain that Agent is still coming and the Backlot City set, to me, has that same old European city vibe as those leaked shots. Perhaps this was their way of indicating it was next, like the fairground ride in IV hinting at V's location. Also, in the mission where F steals the actor's costume and car... they're filming a movie about a secret agent.

 

Any thoughts?

Hello hunters! It's been an absolute age since I've last been on, hope everyone is well!!

 

I've only read the last couple of pages and will read up on the rest when I can, but alas from what I can see there are no jetpacks haha! It's all good though, and great that new blood is invigorating the hunt!

 

I had lot's of stuff coming up so decided to take a break, have only played GTA once or twice since I last posted here which is God knows when! I guess the PC release hasn't meant that anything truly major has been discovered? Judging by some posts on this page alone I'd hazard a guess at no!!

Like I say, I gots me some reading to do and will read up over the next few days - I am refreshed and ready to get back in! In a way it's good but also it means I have forgotten a hell of a lot, so please forgive my rustiness!

 

I'll get back into the game soon, such a gem of a game and I've missed it!

 

Before I go, has the PC release meant that it's easy to get inside places? If anyone remembers I had a real bee in my bonnet about the Oeuvre Gallery, and those damn alcoves/almost rooms on each side towards the back? Would it be possible to get inside and put me out of my misery for once and all?!

Oh, and what about the barn in Grapeseed that features on the photos in the Yellow Jack Inn - the red barn with a rooster logo on it if I remember correctly?

 

I know if you have to glitch into somewhere then it probably ain't going to show much, but man I was always curious about those places. What about mystery hot spots like the Observatory, is there nothing at all inside?!

 

Finally, what's the latest on the single player DLC, after a quick look I see we're no closer to the extra meat us single player fans crave!!

 

I'll get back into the swing of things soon and then just do what I did before, which admittedly wasn't much, but I had such fun exploring the game and searching for small crumbs of hope! I'm sure I will find places and things I haven't seen before, and for me that's what it's all about.

 

Take it easy and Happy hunting guys!

[CanOdope]

Welcome back @smilersheps! You really haven't missed much. Still no DLC, we'll probably get that sometime in 2036... Still no jetpack, I'll probably have one IRL before we get one IG. Regarding the Ouvre, I don't think anyone has mentioned it in quite a while. I don't think anyone got into it yet.
