What are some of your headcanons?

This is me exploiting GTA IV's game mechanics to not kill who I don't want to, and this is such a small head canon, but in my headcanon, the lawyer from the TLAD mission "Communication Breakdown" survives. I literally made sure of this, because I tried getting him out of his car, he had a damn shotgun for some reason, but I just whacked him with a bat then punched him. I stayed for maybe about an hour just because I was also sidetracked and he semi-frequently got up, walked a little, then fell back down.

 

It was a small thing I did but yeah he's still alive for me. Does this actually count as a head canon since I technically have actually done it?

Adding onto this, ig that means I can add a head canon. Stubbs' career is f*cked in my GTA Timeline lmfao

Yeah it actually sounds like a Jason Statham movie plot. A NYC taxi driver who is secretly a CIA hitman 

GTA Advanced was never part of the 2D Universe. It's always been clear that it takes place in the 3D universe. It has a 2D perspective, but its the same LC from GTA III, and it has a bunch of characters from GTA III

Yeah, by that logic, GTA Chinatown Wars takes place in the 2D Universe.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Niko becoming a full time IAA assassin following the events of the game. Far more interesting then just being a cab driver for Roman. So it's now my official headcanon.. 

Honestly, I like the theory of Niko being a taxi driver. Niko just wanted to relax his whole life, the only way doing so would be revenge and finding answers to his questions. By the end of the game, his questions are answered. He doesn't need to do any crime anymore, not even petty crimes. He's doing good I imagine, and I know he ain't real, but I wish him well for his future.

Tommy canonically wears the Mr. Vercetti outfit each time he buys an asset, hence why that pothead at the boatyard called him "suit dude". He also wears it in the final mission (Ken even says "It looks like you ruined your suit! And Tommy, that was a beautiful suit!" near the end)

I wore the Soiree for that mission due to that line. I generally try to wear the original costumes for the characters on their final missions (GTA V is kinda all over the place so I didn't try that when I beat it) so the Soiree was the closest thing I could do, I honestly did consider the Mr Vercetti suit tho.

Las Venturas isn't in the state of San Andreas anymore in the HD Universe. Instead it's in Robada.

I hope they rectify this. If they don't, where tf is the 50th state? Up my ass?

Dr Friedlander is dead as a texas salad bar and some chapters of GTA Online should just be ignored

I hate Rockstar turning decisions made not canon. Like, I honestly think that Ending A and B should be like the endings in GTA IV, the one you pick is whatever is canon in your own timeline (As in what endings you get when you beat each game) and so are the small choices. They could have done a smart system where Friedlander is replaced in Online if you kill him.

I know it’s not really unpopular to think, but in my head cannon, all of the locations in the 3D era still exists in some capacity even if they may have changed. Obviously los santos and liberty city are the first two, but I still believe places like cottonmouth still exist. We know for a fact carcer city still exists

This is why I'd never want a full USA map. It's nice to imagine locations, and have new ones built. You should be able to guess that places in older GTAs still exist, I'm mostly talking about small towns in this scenario but still.

That's cool and all, but Niko's being killing motherf*ckers since he was a teenage soldier in Yugoslavia. He's lived a life of constant war and death, it's all he knows. And deep down I think he's addicted to it.. I can't see him riding off into the sunset, living a mundane existence. Especially considering all the people he pissed off throughout his adventure in LC..

A lot of people would still want him dead, the Ancelotti's, the Russians etc.. I can imagine Niko either being blackmailed by ULPC again into doing IAA dirty work, or Niko perhaps even turning to them outta necessity after several attempts on his life by the Ancelotti's or the Russians.

 

As ULPC says "We've provided a lot of protection, from here on out you're alone" Niko would quickly realise he's not going to last long on his own....

 

Or maybe I've put way too much though into this

Well. Niko Bellic was lucky that Kenny Petrovic didn’t find out who he was. Otherwise if Dimtiri told Petrovic that the real culprit was Niko would be in trouble. Petrovic isn’t going to let that go if he found out it was Niko.

Who says Kenny didn't find out? If he knows Little Jacob (or small Jacob as he calls him) then he'd know who Niko is. Especially considering the damage Niko caused to the liberty city underworld.

How can Kenny be so sure? And in both endings, Niko was pretty confident that after tying up loose ends that he can live in peace. I find it odd especially that if Revenge is canon. He just forget about Ray Bulgarin but Luis took care of Ray.

My headcanon is that Ryder didn't betray GSF during The Green Sabre mission, but - he did after.

I've always wondered if the cutscene of the first Ryder mission, where he acts distant and CJ says "what? No homie love?" was merely just him resenting CJ for leaving LS, or if it was meant as a foreshadowing or whatever that Ryder's allegience was secretly elsewhere.

I think it would be really hard to determine this particular case as CJ just came back from LC. Personally, I feel that Ryder could have been angry with CJ for leaving LS (he doesn't call him buster many times without reason), but sure, some people might argue that this can be a very early sign of Ryder's treachery.

I feel like that was about Ryder resenting CJ for running away from problems. Sweet does the same thing, but given that Sweet is his brother, he warms up to CJ quicker. At the same time, I feel like Ryder is one of those friends who like to trashtalk, so he would talk sh*t to CJ even if he was ready to take a bullet for him.

 

But his acts during the first arc of the story definitely show strong GSF loyalty up until Green Sabre.

Red Dead Redemption Undead nightmare is canon, it's a dream or hallucination he had.

Yeah I always thought it was officially confirmed to be a nightmare that John had after getting back home

Bernie was a twink back in the day and the ambush that killed Niko’s squad was the result of Bernie’s twink drama going too far 

[salazarcosplay]

Donald Love became president in 2016

[Thelema93]

Niko hunted down and killed the perpetrator who raped and killed his aunt (Romans mother) John Wick style. It was an enemy nationalist fighting on the opposing side of the Yugoslavia war.  

[universetwisters]

Kate showing up as an unknown caller and asking niko on a date after she dies in the revenge ending isn’t a glitch. It’s a way to show Niko’s mind slipping and imagining sh*t

 

Consider it like this; if it were a glitch, wouldn’t it have been fixed in a patch or an update within the 15 years since the game came out? Like if they could add a faint explosion in the air when you kill Dmitri or Pegorino in the final mission to imply that’s Luis blowing up bulgarins plane, then surely they could’ve made it to where Kate doesn’t call the player after her death if it were a glitch FWIW

[Great Britain]

That Niko & Mallorie secretly decided to 'keep it within the family' after Roman's death.

Pretty sure TBOGT's ending wasn't even written yet when they finished writing IV. But yeah, I could agree with the rest of what you said...

It wasn’t, they added the ever so faint explosion in the sky in a patch after TBOGT came out I believe

I’m not good at links rn because I’m laying in bed trying to sleep but here’s an old thread talking about it.

 

 

Id take it with a grain of salt, not unless you’re willing to compare a low quality upload of the mission posted to YouTube in like 2009 or 2008 to one posted currently.

they should have included motorcycles in remakes and later editions instead of making this excuse of motorcycle ban

None of this is true. There is no thing added in a patch and the fire you see in the cutscene is merely the distant fires of the Acter Industrial Park appearing briefly in the sky.

One of the reasons why Micheal De Santa didnt want Trevor harming Dave Norton in the Third Way mission in GTA V is because Micheal knows that even Lester Crest has limits. To Micheal having an ally like Dave Norton allows him,Trevor, and Franklin to have much more resources, info, and to protect them from trouble. Lester is a good tracker and hacker but he cant call for a manhunt to track a dangerous enemy. Dave Norton has the authority and resources to do a manhunt.

 

Micheal knew that he cant rely solely on Lester to satisfy the trio's need in the present and in the future.

That’s not even a headcanon that’s regular canon Trevor suggests killing Dave and Michael says no we need him alive so nobody messes with us after

Doomsday Heist is not canon.
