Weird things you used to think when you were young about the GTA series

Being a pathetically nervous teenager spooked out by the woods and countryside of San Andreas - fearing Bigfoot or Leatherface would strike out of nowhere...

- When I played SA for the first time and watched the opening cutscene for the "Big Smoke" mission, I actually mistook Big Smoke for CJ's father. The way he asks CJ how he is, promising to find out who killed his mother and referring to Sweet as "your brother" to CJ all make it seem that way.

I thought the same since I was young and still learning English so few words from here and there made me think of that

Also, back in 2007 I was suprised that Grand Theft Auto IV wasn't going to be called Grand Theft Auto VI. 

This is another big one I, and I can imagine many others, made a lot until the announcement of GTA IV. Vice City was "GTA 4" and San Andreas was "GTA 5". Never thought anything of it until the confusing moment I discovered the next game was GTA IV.

Personally, I thought that GTA Vice City was officially GTA IV, San Andreas was GTA V, Liberty City Stories was GTA VI and Vice City Stories was GTA VII, as they put those numbers on their boxes to make it easier for us to recognize them by numbers in my country. Then the real GTA IV made me somewhat confused .

Shady Cabin, a place that no doubt belongs to the RDR series.

Me too, the only difference was I didn't even know that Grand Theft Auto games for PSP existed.

You were half right!

Ah, I remember when I read that cities in Grand Theft Auto franchise were based on real life cities... I really didn't have a clue when I was like 10 years old.

When I was real young I didnt know GTA 1 & 2 had missions, I thought it was nothing but open world carnage. Someone showed me the missions and I thought the concept was weird, took me ages to get into the idea lol. 

[Evil empire]

On my first playthrough of GTA 3 I thought I had to stay on the boat to destroy the dodo in the S.A.M. mission which made it a nightmare. Fortunately on my second playthrough I discovered I can go on the runway to destroy the little plane and suddenly the mission became much less painful.

My friend wanted San Andreas but for some reason ended up with GTA IV San Andreas
