The GTA Games could've ended too early if...

[skyeyemx]

GTA 3:

-if the Old Oriental Gentleman was in a different armored van; the Cartel would've blown his van open, and Claude wouldn't be set free with him; ending with a nasty life jail sentence for Claude. Grand Theft Auto: Walk Around In A Jail Cell.

 

-if Catalina hand't betrayed Claude and the bank heist went smoothly. Then Claude would still have his GF and they'd be rich!

 

GTA Vice City:

-if Diaz's ambush squad killed Tommy, too. This one is self-explanatory.

 

-if Diaz didn't know about the deal, and didn't ambush it. Then the Leone family would be rich with a new drug supplier.

 

-if Sonny hadn't decided to keep Tommy out of town, leaving him in Liberty City. GTA III again, eh?

 

-if Tommy's jail sentence wasn't 15 years; it was for life.

 

GTA San Andreas:

-if CRASH was late to find CJ and frame him for Ralph Pendelbury's murder. Then Carl would've just seen his mom's funeral like he intended, and maybe even return to LC.

 

-If CJ never decided to come back to Los Santos. Then he'd be living in Liberty City and then GTA 3 again twice, eh?

 

-if CRASH didn't kill Pendelbury at all. There'd be no reason to frame anybody for a murder that never happened, right?

 

GTA LCS:

Help me here; I totally forgot much of the story.

 

GTA VCS:

-If Sergeant Martinez wasn't such a dick. Then maybe he would've framed another soldier for drugs and 'hos. This would mean Vic gets to stay as a soldier for god-knows-how-long time.

 

GTA IV:

-if Roman didn't lie to Niko in his emails. Then Niko would know that Roman lives in a dump, and would've went crying to a different cousin (hopefully one that doesn't like bowling.)

 

-if Niko decided to come back on board of The Platypus. Then he'd leave LC and might not come back.

 

-if Roman gave his money to Vlad's guys instead of losing it all, having to kill Vlad, and butterfly effect from there. This way, everything would've been all peaceful. Maybe Niko would even be a taxi driver?

 

-if Niko never decided to come to Liberty City in the first place. Self-explanatory here.

 

GTA V:

-if the first North Yankton heist ended up well. Three rich men!

 

 

Make some more!

[universetwisters]

If the North Yankton heist ended up well, it would be literally the same as it is ingame.

 

Because that was the plan.

[Megumi]

GTA V:

 

If Floyd and Debra were f*cking nice.

[DeadAccount]

GTA San Andreas:

-If CJ and Caesar never made up after the lowrider contest, then Caesar would have never showed CJ that Smoke and Ryder were working with CRASH. This could have also prevented Sweet from getting shot and arrested due to CJ's help; in addition, CJ would have never been dragged out of Los Santos.

 

GTA V:

-if the North Yankton heist went according to plan (Trevor getting shot instead of Brad) then not too much would change during the beginning of the game. The first heist would still happen, but Trevor would never know about it; therefore, he would never go to find Michael.

 

-If Michael had recognised Franklin from the beach after meeting him for the second time in Jimmy's car, then this could have altered a lot of the dialogue and events that happen between them. This could have also lead Franklin to explain to Michael and Lamar, that they have met each other.

[Sir Michael]

San Andreas:

-If Brian never died. His death was the reason why CJ left Los Santos in the first place. Maybe things would have turned out differently for the Grove with the Johnson brothers all there.

 

GTA IV:

-If Niko killed Dmitri and Bulgarin in that warehouse. Their goons would still be a problem, but that just takes care of the main antagonists in that game right there and offsets the reason why Niko left Europe.

 

GTA V:

-If Dave landed an accidental fatal shot on Michael instead of hitting his armor. No Mike, no GTA V.

[Homicidal Hipster]

GTA V

If Michael and Franklin caught the tennis coach before he got to Madrazo's girlfriends house. Then they wouldn't of had to pull the house off the hill, which means they wouldn't of robbed vangelico to pay Madrazo back and Trevor never would of found out Michael was alive.

III:

- If Claude didn't survive Catalina's shot.

 

Vice City:

- If Tommy was killed in Harwood years back like Sonny had planned originally .

 

San Andreas:

- If CJ's flight crashed.

- If CJ's mom was never killed and Sweet was killed instead.

 

IV:

- If Niko's boat sunk before arriving in Liberty City.

- If Roman (who was drunk) insisted on driving the car himself, lost control and ran the car into the Humboldt River which would result in them drowning to death.

[Nah nah nah Gta 6]

GTA 3

-If Claude didn't meet catalina in SA

-Claude was killed in the bridge explosion.

 

GTA Vice city -

-Tommy was never arrested or wasn't chosen to goto Vice city.

-If the window was up on Rosenburg's car, he would of smashed his head and died.

 

GTA San Andreas

-If CJ was actually arrested in the beginning

-Died to Ballas on the way to Grove Street

-Died instead of Brian.

-Tenpenny couldn't find the Taxi CJ was in.

-Big Smoke just didn't feel like making an entire drug empire.

 

GTA VCS

-If Vic actually stuck to his words.

 

GTA IV

-Boat sunk on the way to LC

-Died along with his nobody goon friends

-Let Roman drive the car in which he would die in a car crash.

-Running over Luis therefore alerting the cops straight after losing them.

 

GTA TLAD

-If Johnny died in either the two deals he was in.

 

GTA TBOGT

-Got shot by Niko in the bank

-Got ran over by him in the intro, which would probably also alert the cops and lead to Niko's arrest.

 

GTA CTW

-If Huang died like he was supposed to.

 

GTA V

-If the bank was closed on Christmas.

-If Dave used a heavy sniper and 1 hit killed Micheal.

-If they were 2 seconds late passing the Train.

-If the cop just killed Micheal.

-If Simeon didn't ask Franklin for Jimmy's car

-And finally, If Trevor didn't leave the TV on when he was f*cking Ashley.

 

(EDIT: didn't read others suggestions so some may of been mentioned already lol)

 

 

Oh, and lets not forget the big one, if DMA weren't so sh*tty at coding Police AI in Race N' Chase, the GTA games or stories would be so short they wouldn't exist.

Edited May 12, 2016 by Stoney0503

[combustion]

GTA III - If CJ was manly.

 

GTA IV - If Niko was killed in the ambush

 

GTA V - If Dave Norton could have aimed properly.

[Pavle]

GTA V:

-if the first North Yankton heist ended up well. Three rich men!

No. As UT mentioned, most of the game would be the same. Because the plan was to shoot Trevor and not Brad. It would be all different if Michael never went to the FIB.

 

-IV:

If Niko got deported.

 

-V:

If Franklin crashed his car into the tanker (and died) which spawns in the mission after the prologue.

 

I'm really bad at this, aren't I?

[Nico]

GTA IV - If Niko was killed in the ambush

In that case the game wouldn't even have started.

 

 

I'm really bad at this, aren't I?

Take it easy man, is not like you could get punished for not knowing how to end a game prematurely.

[universetwisters]

VCS would've ended early had Vic just said no to drugs.

[happygrowls]

IV:

If Niko never met Michelle/Karen, I wonder how it would have played out. He still would have found Bernie through Ray, but i'm curious if the UL Paper never contacted Niko.

[Testarossa]

-GTAO:

The plane is sabotaged/hijacked and crashes into the Pacific Ocean.

[happygrowls]

-GTAO:

The plane is sabotaged/hijacked and crashes into the Pacific Ocean.

so basically one of the 12 year old players shoots it down for the RP?

Edited May 14, 2016 by Edward Nashton

[WildBrick142]

I found it on Gouranga! (the old GTA news website that hasn't been updated since the previews of GTA IV). It says in the GTA 2 page, "GTA2 is set in a massive city, under siege by seven rival gangs who each control different zones within the metropolis. That's when your character, Claude Speed, is freed from prison and awakened from cryonic sleep with a bad case of amnesia. Your mission is clear, do whatever it takes to become "King of the City" by any means necessary."

GTA SA: If CJ was a good citizen and didn't steal the bike, took a taxi and died in a crash accident because the driver was drunk. Sadly he also died, what's more he had three daughters and a wife. They were very poor and the mother commited suicide. Then one of the girls became a drug addict, the other one became a prostitute and the third worked at Jizzy's club.
