Smash Bandicoot Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 This is the most undiscussed major plot point in the entire GTA franchise, was there any reason for Catalina to kill Claude? how did Claude survive? what happened between the events of him getting shot and being taken to prison?

You know Catalina is the 3D version of Dimitri; she backstabs almost everybody she gets associated with.

Atleast Dimitri had a reason to betray you, which was Bulgarin. also it seems really f*cking odd for Catalina to "have no more use for Claude" even though they spent an entire decade together.

Blaze Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Plot hole? She literally explains it - "Sorry, babe, I'm an ambitious girl, and you... You're just small time". Clearly she has bigger plans (SPANK) and has no use for Claude anymore.

Well, I think the only reason that Catalina decided to shoot Claude was that she was treating him just as a business partner besides having some love feelings, that were short-lived. All she really wanted was to rob, kill and make big bucks out of it. She betrayed Claude, then Miguel too. She was a bad chiquita, who treated people objectively in other words. And about events after Betrayal and before Jailbreak, well, all we know is that Claude was taken to the convoy with 8-Ball and Oriental Gentleman, that's about it.

Guest Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Dude, Catalina shooting Claude is the exact reason why the whole game happens. It's Catalina's character to backstab just about anyone, regardless of how loyal he/she is. Not to mention she left CJ earlier, so Claude kinda had it coming too. The reason why Catalina shot Claude is that Miguel and his gang were making huge profits off their new SPANK product and Catalina saw more money in the opportunity than doing small-time bank robberies with some silent dude, so it's waaay obvious why she did it. As for what happened to Claude after he got shot, I think he got sent to a hospital and then to a police station where he stayed until the courts decided to give him a 10-year prison term. And in that time, he got introduced to 8-Ball and the Old Oriental Gentleman.

That's because she couldn't find anyone better than him until she came to Liberty City, where she met Miguel and everything. Take CJ for example, she kept up with him but as soon as she found Claude, she left CJ.

Quoting myself because I refuse to believe that you aren't seeing this. Quote That part of the plot wasn't written until San Andreas. You can only look at Claude and Catalina from III's perspective. In the game nothing is said about the duration of their partnership. It could have been a few months. And even if we consider that plot that doesn't mean Catalina can't backstab Claude. Maybe she thought Claude wasn't cut out for the drug business. Maybe she started liking Miguel more and they decided Claude is unnecessary. It is entirely possible for someone to betray people with whom they have had years if not decades of relationship. There are characters throughout the whole franchise who betray long-time friends. Smoke, Dmitri, Sonny. The list goes on.

I’d say that GTA III, IV, TLAD, TBOGT, and even CTW all have the most coherent and consistent storylines of all GTA games. I don’t find much to be rewritten about any of them honestly. Must be an NYC GTA game thing. With the exception of LCS of course. That one is in need of a rewrite alongside VC, VCS, SA, and V. 2 hours ago, Smash Bandicoot said: @Staunton Assassin It's in character for Catalina to backstab someone, what's not is her staying with said person for 9 whole years, it makes 0 sense. Who knows? Maybe Claude is a bigger simp than what he is given credit for. I also am in agreement about Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, Luis Fernando Lopez, and CJ being the series’s biggest simps. I really don’t say it as a bad thing at all though. Arthur Morgan and John Marston from the RDR games are kinda the same way too. It just kinda shows that they’re criminals who still have a lot of respect for women. Plus, admittedly I’m quite the simp myself IRL. So are a lot of my real life friends.
