ArmyRaidFail404 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 During the GTA 3 Era, I was scared (to f*ck) of these myths and legends. The best ones that I remember come from San Andreas: CJ Moms Ghost Big Smokes Ghost Bigfoot Leatherface UFOs The Biowell All of these comes from San Andreas's massive map. Since Vs map is even bigger, you'd think that even more myths will arise. No. At least not in my opinion. Think about this. Rockstar as a joke went as far to even officially putting aliens, UFOs and Bigfoot into the game. Sharks as well! So, are there any more *real* myths left that you guys can think of, cause I'm stumped. And don't say Mt Chilliad Mystery, cause you know why. I'm talking about myths with no real evidence that people like me can have fun with.

VanessaMagick Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Partly because of the Chiliad Mystery and partly because of how widespread easter eggs are. The Chiliad Mystery is partly the reason for lack of myths because anything new or interesting gets looped straight into that and people will try and link them somehow. Partly because with such a strong playerbase, most things are 'discovered', then immediately debunked and everyone ignores them. People can now dig through the gamefiles and say "Yep there's no bigfoot* here" and that's the end of that. *Just an example. Bigfoot is actually in the game, slvrcobra 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/762895-where-did-the-good-myths-go/#findComment-1066858024 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlitoDorito Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) The world has changed, These forums, YouTube and Google means any myth or Easter egg is debunked and/or found within a month of release. You can't make them up now like people did when The ps2 games came out, "pics or it didn't happen" is all you're gonna get now if you say there's a ghost or whatever.

GTA-Biker Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I guess there are no myths in GTA 5 because they made most of the myths from older GTA games real(bigfoot,killer sharks,aliens,UFOs,ghosts,cannibal cult...).There is no need for searching for a ghost in some abandoned buildings when you just have to visit Mount Gordo at night to find it,there is no need for searching for bigfoot when you just have to finish the game 100% and it appears in a random event mission,same with most other myths,there is just no more mystery about them anymore.

Trevorphilipjfry Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I loved myth hunting in SA, even IV had that ratman. But as others said the rise of youtube, DVR, game recording and looking through game files. No one believes in myths anymore Also, them old game were glitchy as f*ck, which is why the ghost cars, planes crashing people committing suicide came from. V is a relatively stable game, so nothing out of the ordinary really happens. And in SA the woods in that were very creepy and isolated so naturally, myths came from that. In V no where feels secluded, you're always a stone throw away from civilization, so nothing creepy can really happen. You always feel safe V did have potential possible myths. Megladoon shark in the ocean Infinity killer could kill you in alleys, but be really rare Possible abduction myths etc. The creepy stuff in V is too in your face, the Flying UFOs, bigfoot thermal, lenora ghost. Things are scarier are when its left to the imagination, we've been given the milk, 1 buy the cow? Which I think is the biggest problem DIEXEL, 11john11 and xolov 3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/762895-where-did-the-good-myths-go/#findComment-1066858895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyper Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) It is because in GTA V every 'random event' is not random, but stictly scripted, and a part from that, very obvious and easy to find. Very little (if anything) was ever confirmed by Rockstar except that Rockstar stated that big foot did not exist in the game. In San Andreas, you had the green fog, the ghosts tags, the ghost car. No one could tell if this was a bug or glitch. There was no obvious way to find it. The open graves, the wheelchair, the massgraves, aswell as ''Destiny'' (the guy in the black coat cowboy hat) did not appear by script, he was no more than an NPC and it just did happen that his dialog had references to aliens and so forth. In GTA V, you have these ''random'' events, which is this: you drive into a trigger and a script is run - and there may even be a dot on the map. You then put that out on the net and everyone can experience it. There is no mystery to that, there is nothing extraordinary about it. It's as exciting as installing a big-foot mod for San Andreas on PC and then go on a big-foot hunt. If everyone can see a UFO at a given time, at a certain place, and if everyone knows it, what is then so exciting about it? The green fog in GTA: San Andreas, for example, could be seen at Mount Chilliad. But the probability for the event was quite low and no one (as far as I know) could predict exactly when or where it would occur. Here is a collection of some of the mysteries in San Andreas: Edited January 21, 2015 by Cyper Tacymist 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/762895-where-did-the-good-myths-go/#findComment-1066858911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype_M Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'll make one for ya, lol. The origin of the "all seeing eye/eye of god" originates from our ancient ancestors, with evidence in cave art/artifacts dating back thousand of years. This is obviously referring to a solar eye and not the third-eye of spiritual/mysticism.To ancients, the awe inspiring sight of witnessing an eclipse undoubtedly left a powerful impression. Could this be the meaning of "See the Eye!" painted in the Altruist camp? This is what I thought of when I first read it there. However, is a solar eclipse even mechanically possible in Gta5's world with its Sun/moon cycles? Exceedingly doubtful though I am, how EPIC would that be? :0 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/762895-where-did-the-good-myths-go/#findComment-1066858933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevorphilipjfry Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 There was a myth going around on reddit of where if you go to a certain area in Bcounty, there was an abduction cutscene, and on top of that there were 3 co-ordinates in the game files, linked to the abductions.

Dope_0110 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) They didn't want those myths from SA anymore so they put them in on purpose. Myths are something that arises by itself, not from Rockstar putting it in, they can only shut them down by putting whatever the myth is in the game, so it stops being a myth. They never put in bigfoot or aliens in SA, so people made myths about them. In V they didn't put in jetpack, so players started a huge myth about there being a jetpack.. there's your myth.

It was right beside the house with the "welcome Alien" banner. If you try to watch or stay to look at it, the mission fails. There is nothing to it, outside of making the game more interesting, and making you bite on the Alien/Ufo story early. As for other abductions or coordinates, I have no idea.

Osho Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) The mysteries in V are more like puzzles with a solution in the end than myths IMO. Things involved in GTA SA are actually what you rightly mentioned; "myths with no real evidence" meaning it remains a mystery and, when players found these curious things ( mostly Easter eggs ), it eventually got some very interesting reactions in return, turning into full-fledged discussions about them ( which were a new experience for its time ) between dedicated myth hunters. I can't explain very well about how involved the players were in tracking them down. V even made a sh*tty attempt to prove some of those very popular myths ( big foot, and an alien ) to be found and clearly visible.

There was always zero evidence to any of them, and I couldn't figure out why people went on and on about bigfoot. Between San Andreas and V, V has the better myth. Whether you like to hear that or not, I don't remember any hunt being as big and widespread as the hunt for the jetpack, not even bigfoot. There was also no real evidence of a jetpack, ever. The mural was nothing more than a clue intended to lead people to the UFOs. People misread that and then made up their own evidence by looking at lesters house, finding weird colored lights, etc. It falls right in the same category as SA's myths, so it does count.

Back then, when people were younger, it was to fun to toy with the idea of aliens or Bigfoot being in the game. It gave us quite a fright when we hear a strange noise in the woods (which turns out to be a plane) so we made myths about them. And when we investigate, there was always some creepy sh*t going on. In GTA V, that factor is sucked out by Rockstar when we investigate the jetpack because it's not creepy. Myths were meant to be creepy and fun not annoying and bland.

Officer Ronson Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 In San Andreas, you had the green fog, the ghosts tags, the ghost car. No one could tell if this was a bug or glitch. There was no obvious way to find it. The open graves, the wheelchair, the massgraves, aswell as ''Destiny'' (the guy in the black coat cowboy hat) did not appear by script, he was no more than an NPC and it just did happen that his dialog had references to aliens and so forth. The ghost tag was a bug. The ghost car was scripted to appear there but the fact it was by the slope that made it move made it boom into a mystery. The other 3 are pretty much part of the map and will always be there unless you remove them via map editing.
