H-G Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) On with more "Could Have Just"s! - Instead of trying to "jump" (A.K.A. kill) Diaz on his own, Lance could've just asked Tommy for help beforehand. - Instead of dropping Tommy off on the grounds of the yellow mansion on Prawn Island from the "Phnom Penh '86" mission, Lance could've just dropped Tommy off on the roof to pick up the stolen cash. I know he was dropped off on the ground so he can properly clear out any remaining gang members hiding inside the mansion, but still. - Instead of doing chores for so many big people in Liberty City, Claude could've just simply looked for Catalina and whacked her. The Hidden Packages could've acted as a nice way of tracing her. - Instead of talking about Tommy and Vic's deal in front of Gonzalez, thus prompting him to pass the information to Diaz (who in turn has the deal ambushed), Cortez could've just stuffed his ears shut and then talked. And here are some "other ones", just for giggles. - Instead of just staring at Catalina while she's holding him at gunpoint with two Colt .45s in the intro cutscene, Claude could've just jumped aside, dodged the shots, fired back and killed her right there. He had a shotgun, yet he did nothing. - Instead of being released from Liberty Penitentiary, Tommy could've just not been released and instead hanged to death for those eleven men he killed. - Instead of coming to San Andreas for his mother's funeral, CJ could've just not come to SA and stayed in Liberty City, thus becoming the biggest busta. - Instead of coming to Liberty City after laying low, Toni could've just not returned at all and laid low for the rest of his life, letting Vincenzo take care of the business that usually Toni takes care of. - Instead of taking unconventional orders from Jerry, Vic could've just not followed Jerry's orders and not ended up being kicked out of the army and becoming a criminal. - Instead of believing all the fake emails sent by Roman, Niko could've just realized that it's all lies and not come to LC, sticking to the merchant navy instead. - Instead of surviving that bike accident before TLaD's events (the one which created a scar on Johnny's face), he could've just died in the accident. - Instead of holding Luis hostage, Niko could've just killed him so the diamonds wouldn't be stolen later on. - Instead of being greedy enough to jump into the criminal underworld again, Micheal could've just opened a small-time fruits-and-vegetables stall in Downtown Los Santos to end his hunger for money. - Instead of trying to repossess Jimmy's car thus meeting Micheal, Franklin could've just not repossessed it at all, or told Lamar to do it. - Instead of watching TV and learning about Micheal being still alive, Trevor could've just not watched TV at all. Or better yet, he should've just smashed the TV and thrown it out of the window right on the start of the day he was going to learn about Micheal. EDIT: NEW PAGE!

It's funny because you can actually do this. Niko isn't supposed to shoot the hostages and you fail the mission if you shoot more than one, but it gives you one chance (if you shoot one Packie warns you to stop) and that one can be Luis if you want and the mission goes on as normal. Oversight in the mission design. I always do it lol. I guess GTA logic means he just respawned at the nearest hospital.

Legends say there are only a few ways you can completely wipe a GTA protagonist off this earth and free him from the invincibility curse. The most reliable one is to bash his skull with a bottle and smash it with your foot. Only then he is completely gone.

god speed Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The burning alive method works for me more than 1/3 of the time. Rockstar were even kind enough to make it the first phone option. But enough of beating that dead horse. -Vic could have just retired from the life of crime and stay alive. Then Tommy wouldn't be sent to a deal with Vance brothers in Vice City, CJ wouldn't need to work for Ken Rosenberg in Caligula's Casino, and Toni and Claude wouldn't have to deal with Salvatore's wife Maria he never met in Las Venturas.

Duhillestpunk Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Instead of Michael being a nice person and letting his family walk all over him like a doormat, he could put his foot down and lay down the law to his kids. Not in a violent matter but in a blunt and somewhat loud one. Same with his wife, he should’ve dropped the bomb and said “Look Amanda, you keep sleeping around with all these people, and I’m gonna divorce you”.

If Franklin didn't consider killing Trevor or Michael, he had his shot right there, and his life could be a lot easier. But I guess that wouldn't be a fitting endind to the game's main antoagonist.

H-G Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 - Instead of killing Alan Crawford's wife along with her husband, CJ could've just spared her and killed Alan separately. I mean, on one hand he saves a girl from a burning house (which he set on fire by himself) and on the other hand lets a girl drown in a locked car. iiCriminnaaL 1 H-G's Workshop https://gtaforums.com/topic/905964-h-gs-workshop/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartak2811 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Don Salvatore could have just invest money in his own Casino, not rival Mafia family’s, and gain all profit from it, then he’ll never been betrayed, humiliated and turned into laughingstock. Salvatore could be a true family man and motivated his only son Joey into family business with his car repair shop and care about him. He could help him to find a good woman and he could even see his grandchildren. And Salvatore could be smart, wise, far-sighted and in his mind not to seduce and marry a youngster old enough to be his daughter who could put many horns on him. He could die surrounded by his grandchildren with honours and respect. Maria Latore could have just not to go to Las Venturas, she could have never met Salvatore and be an ordinary Libertorian woman. She could stay in Liberty City. She could have just leave the Mafia area forever, be the best friend with Asuka Kasen being a single girl. She could find a job with help of Asuka, go to college with wishes to build a career, have in a good terms with her parents and sister, and her life could have just been much better. There will be no beatings, insults, humiliations, drug addiction, troubles because of awful marriage with Salvatore. And who knows, maybe with these circumstances Maria would have met Claude as Asuka’s best friend being a serious, clean, adorable, sweet, friendly and down to earth girl. And they both would fell in love. Edited August 17 by Spartak2811 The Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil empire Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Instead of letting his goons turn the entry hall of the Starfish Island mansion into a junkyard while damaging some probably very valuable paintings Tommy could have made them respect him like a real badass kingpin. Instead of waiting to reach the 100% Tommy could have hired his goons anytime he wants like a real badass kingpin. Instead of personally selling the Cherry Poppers ice-cream Tommy Vercetti could have made an employee do it for him like a real badass kingpin. Instead of letting the other gangs regularly trespass in his companies Tommy could have killed their bosses and conquered their territories like a real badass kingpin.
