Grand Theft Auto 5...

reply to post by ReturnofTheSonOfNothing

The hunt has been on for the last 5 months, and though some compelling clues have turned up, no one has managed to solve the damn thing.

I believe hackers have found text for speech in the game files for the character Omega that hasn't been heard yet in the game so far,


Many are theorizing that when you find the spaceship parts to leave the space docker after the missions are over, I think this is the way to go.

Over at reddit there is a GTA5 forum where many blogs are up discussing these mysteries and others in the game.

Mind blowing especially for a conspiracy nut like me.

Yeah I've been following it on reddit and gta forums. Lots of leads, some solid clues but still no solution.

I half expect this to all be DLC (a la Undead Nightmare), but the hints in the game currently are, as you say, mind blowing.

Roumer is that Rockstar worked with world famous puzzle designers on this game.

For example (and you probably are already well aware of this but for the unititiated) - there is a sign in the shape of an EGG (one of the 3 major icons on the Chiliad mural) with "Jack Sheepe Tri-Manifold Servicing. R108" hanging on Trevor's hangar.

Seems innocent apart from the shape right? Wrong. Some kid did some research on 'Jack Sheepe'. Turns out he was a porn actor more commonly known as John Steed. He only used the name 'Jack Sheepe' in one movie - The Cockateer, a parody of the disney movie The Rockateer; a story about a man who finds a JETPACK (one of the 3 main icons on the Chiliad mural) in an airfield. The film shares many other similarities with the game as well. The Running time of the Rockateer is 108 minutes (R108).

That's so intricate and anal, I don't know what to say, except bow my head in awe.

That's exactly what I think the game is and how to either unlock a rocket pack or pilot the ufos.

You have the psych evaluation at the end, you have your red and blue dots where you make choices to either kill or let live,

You have three characters to play with, so many stats available and recorded.

Will this puzzle be solved, is there a puzzle to be solved?

Rockstar will keep their mouths shut not giving any hints whether there are just easter eggs which have all found so far or if there is more to it.

Keeps many playing I guess.

108, Lost, the hatch in the sea with the Morse code.

How deep did they make it and all the connections or is all random coincidence,

Did you read the matrix theory on the game?

reply to post by InhaleExhale


Glossed over the matrix theory. The first few prepositions made me think it was likely just reading too much into it. But who knows really.

Whatever, this is clearly the biggest easter egg hunt in video game history.

As a loyal fan of Red Dead Redemption (the single greatest cowboy game ever made)I am a little worried it may end up the same as was in that game - in RDR there were mysterious sites in various areas of the map with strange glyphs and symbols presumably written by the native americans.

These were never, ever solved, though various theories were put forth. See RDR Mystery Site

I think that is actually a low probability - in GTA 5 the hints are much more explicit and ubiqitous. This has to be something. I just hope people are smart enough to crack it.

Deadman over at GTA forums has posted some incredibly compelling observations which seem to tie the cove on the south eastern side of the coast near where you enter the Humane Labs facility with the glyphs found on Chiliad, the Altruist Camp and the Hippy Camp. I think he is really close to solving the mystery.

Rockstar will keep their mouths shut not giving any hints whether there are just easter eggs which have all found so far or if there is more to it.

Rockstar are making so much money on this game it's been roumered they will delay any further DLC in order to fully capitalise on sales. Pity, but I can see the business sense.

or is all random coincidence,

While I think it's clear that some people probably have made connections which do not exist (as conspiracry theorists often do), there is simply too many correlations for this to all be co-incidence. There is just no way at this stage, imo.

I've been playing it daily since its release and paused to write this reply. It it is just as entertaining as on the first day. I haven't been much online due to a horrible connection, but played the main story several times. I drove at least 20,000 in-game miles. Been at 2:00 at Mount Chilliad during a severe thunderstorm to see the FIB UFO after completing the 100%. Even though I've spent a whole lot of time in the renewed state of San Andreas, every day I discover new things.

My favorite character is Trevor. He is intelligent but psycho, aware of it, and honest about it. His dialogs and random remarks are hilarious. You can drive (unarmed) behind other drivers and insult them. For some specific drivers Trevor has specific remarks. Some of them are Farmers, Rednecks, Police (careful, 2 insults and you're wanted) and Women with overweight. It is not rare that after you insulted someone, he insults you back and if you continue to insult, it will end in a fight. I also love Trevor's random meets with The Lost, it somehow always reminds me of the ending of the movie "Easy Rider".

One of my favorite hobbies is robbing a liquor-store or a 24/7 in Blaine County, wait till the cops arrive, shoot a couple of them to start a chase through the national park, go across Mount Chilliad and back while listening to Rebel Radio.
My favorite car to provoke that chase is a mat black Bravado Gauntlet, fully armored and with full performance. It is nearly indestructible. The rear wheel drive experience on the back roads is really amazing and the cop cars literally fly around your ears and explode while crashing in the canyons and ravines.

Over all, the game is truly amazing. It's a miniature universe that really has the sense of being alive. It has some flaws, technically and in the script, but it remains a magnificent movie/game/virtual reality.

BTW, DLC for the story mode has been announced for this winter.

So, that's it for now, I'm headed back to Blaine County.

Bought this for my son a few months ago...I must have been mad!

We have loved every second, somehow my 7 year old daughter got on it the other week and found one of the spaceship parts!

Minecraft is the family game of choice, but GTA makes us laugh and have spent many happy mother/son hours bonding whilst robbing banks, blowing up prostitutes and riding the underground!

Bad mother!

Winter? You in the nth hemisphere?

December time or June time?

Been waiting for addition to story mode, I hope they open up the UFO, MT Chilliad Mystery with a couple missions in the prison and military base.

Another bit of news from Rockstar is that they will be releasing something for the new platforms, PS4 Xbox1. come early next year, before April 2015.

I hope its a beefed up version of GTA5 with even better graphics than what we have blessed with on PS3 and X360.

www.rockstargames.com...

And later this year, look for even more additions to both Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto V, including more holiday-themed updates, some very exciting Story Mode DLC and much more.

I hope Trevor will have to do some missions with Jack Howitzer and Ho Chi Sock.

Not trying to troll, but this game is okay. Only okay. The story is HORRID. The characters Franklin and Micheal are alright. But Trevor is unreasonably mean and evil, with no emotional or historical anchors to counteract. And there is no good writing to supplement any of the cast of crap characters. Trevor's crew has gpt tp be the worst GTA characters ever. The dialogue consist of f this, f that, mother f'er, arguing, i'll kill you, and nothing else. Bottom line stuff. Trevor is constantly threatening to kill or rape someone. The violence, sex, and crudeness is hit over your head like a damn hammer. Nothing subtle, nothing clever. Violence, crasness, sex, misogyny, swearing, just for the pure sake of it, and as the primary driving force of the excitement and comedy, and not as one of it's tools. It's like angry, perverted, hormonal imbalanced 15 year old's of today handled the story. I am shocked that an adult team can come up with something like this.

The shooting is fun. That is it. The vehicle handling and physics is now dialed way back, and feels like any other open world game i have played. No more weight to the cars, no more detailed vehicle deformation upon damage. I drove full speed into a tree in a sedan, merely scratched it. I can turn 90 degrees at mostly full speed, and it looks like the cars turn from eh center now, handling like rc cars instead of heavy vehicles like it should.

A.I. sucks in the main game. They nerfed the fire and explosion effects. Now just puffs of yellow. You get a wanted star for someone punching YOU, and when you try to evade, the cops spawn RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, with another star added onto your wanted counter. It is way past cheap. nothing to do in terms of unique aide missions. Big, vast area, with nothing truly interesting to do in it, like in San Andreas. Barely anyone on the streets, yet you hear alot of commotion in the downtown area.

The fact that everyone says they like Trevor the most, shows me how morally and spiritually dead this country is.

I change my mind. I hate this game.

a reply to: bigman88

It's not trolling it's your opinion. I have to disagree on Trevor and his "gang". I can assure you, people like Trevor exist in real life and Trevor is a clear sign how "mated up" the world we live in is.

And what about the (political) statement about torture on his way to the airport right after the mission where he/you has/have to torture?
I don't approve Trevor's point of view, but like everything else in the GTA series, it contains the message that we live in a crazy and lost society.

Btw, I don't like Micheal, he lies and is too arrogant. Franklin is way too boring.

Cops popping up right in front of me hasn't happened to me (yet), but a big rig did, right in front of me while I was near top speed in Paleto Bay during a 3star chase. But it was the first time since September 17.

I agree on the fact that the handling hasn't been an improvement. I loved the handling in IV, it was a bit more difficult, but if you were experienced, it was really marvelous. The handling has become more arcade like, but on dirt roads the handling of the Gauntlet is excellent.

I also agree partially on the deformation. It takes lots of force, but it is there.
Here is my Gauntlet after a 3star chase across Blaine County, Mount Chilliad and back. Oh, and a couple of hits by a train.


I disagree that there isn't a lot to do. My advise, drive from time to time a little slower, that way it is easier for the outdated hardware to spawn all the scenery. If you pass everything at full speed, not much will spawn. There are a lot of funny scenes and hints to several movies.

In the mountains there is a Thelma and Louise Easter Egg. If you go to the right part of the mountains between 7:00 and 8:00 PM you see a vehicle similar to the one from the movie. A few feet behind the vehicle are a few police cars and a helicopter. You see an officer begin to approach the vehicle. As he gets closer the vehicle's engine starts and the car drives off of the edge of the cliff. This Easter Egg only happens if you are in a helicopter. You will not see it on foot however, if you approach the scene on foot from the bottom of the cliff, you will see the vehicle crash and it is possible that it can land on you.

Besides that, Rockstar did a marvelous job at producing the parodies on well known tv-shows, like "the underbelly of paradise" and "Fame or Shame".

a reply to: Regenstorm

Glad you didn't flame me. Go on any other game board, and most others will curse my soul through there screen for disliking their game. Or i am just trolling. There are some seriously vehement and ignorant fans of this game. Thanks for not being one.

i know there are people like Trevor in real life, but that is not the point. The point is we are supposed to play as characters in these types of games who do their evil for some sort of reason, preferably, usually, moral, or with some kind of objective. Ontop of that the character must have some sort of counter weight to balance the evil they do. Like Nico, or Kratos. When we start playing as a character who is truly evil, who likes to torture, rape both male and female, kill, and cause chaos, just because he is crazy, and loves doing it, and not for any reason other than to get money, then we are compromising our mental and moral acuity in what we view. When playing this game, especially as Trevor, you are basically reveling in evil, and not doing these things for any end other than your own selfish monetary gain. Why are we playing as someone like this? The game developers of course is displaying that we are living in a crazy society, but instead of making any identified point about it like the last GTA, in this one you just enjoy it, and revel and romp in it for your own amusement. Like this violent, selfish, crazy universe is fun and good.

There was a part that Trevor was squatting in an alley, taking a crap. Another one where he humps a teddy beer in it's empty eye hole. Then the pointless, retarded conversations with Franklin and Lamar (no development, no context, nothign progressing, nothing clever, just n**ga this, n**ga that, f u n**ga, thats it. Remeber San Andreas? Do you remember this much n**gga in that game in the writing while maintaining crisp writing?). This shows the level of depravity in this game, just for fun. Depravity for simple fun. Great.

Trevor's statement about torture on the way to the airport is only there so the dev's can cover there ass. It would be too obvious how much of a needlessly violent, crude, bad spirited game they made. Trevor says that he didn't really enjoy it, and it was wrong, but he had no problem doing it in the first place, and he goes on to do more violent, sadistic crap later on.

And i think it is just the horrid writing that prevents micheal and Franklin from even being interesting. That's the reason why you say Micahel lies too much. The poor writing skills of the team doesn't allow for any wit or intelligence.

It wasn't my ps3 or my copy of it, it was my brothers who brought it with him on leave from the Marines. I'm talking about in terms of raw side missions. Truck driving, ambulance, cop missions, taxi, something extra with the air vehicles, something with RC cars like the last ones, hunting, taking pictures of certain things, vigilante, assassination missions, gang wars, home robberies, pulling your own heists on any store other than the ones that the story allows you, drug running, escort missions, stealing certain cars for someone, races with sea craft, more things to do underwater other than finding UFO stuff or whatever, fight club, i could go on...

I agree with you for the most part.

GTA V was the biggest disappointment in my 42 year gaming life, and I'm a huge GTA fan, BTW. And I seriously doubt that there's a jetpack. However, I'm sure that the folks at EA....er, I mean, Take two, will have a jet pack DLC for $19.99 soon. R* has lost a lot of respect in the gaming community since the idiotic announcement of GTA V.

I know, I know; They sold millions and millions, but that was solely on reputation. I know many gamers who are disgusted by this game compared to the older ones. But oh well, I hope R* makes GTA 6 and Red Dead for PS4 soon and redeems themselves. I know I won't reserve and buy the next GTA like I have in the past. You fool me once, shame on you....you fool me twice........

I try not to revel in the fact that someone agrees with on something i truly and deeply know is right, but i am gld someone sees the blatant crap that is this game, and i loved all GTA's before this one (proabaely an infant hen the top down ones were out), yet GTA V is one of the worse games i have ever played.

I am not someone to be offended all that easily, but i was literally MAD sitting through the story of this game. The constant cursing, the crude, childish humor, extremely dumb humor, the excessive ni**a with Franklin and Lamar (yes, some of us do throw this word around, i used to, but this game takes it to a level of an almost intentionally offensive level, that's why i HATE boondocks now) Trevor and his excessive threats of violence and rape against people, his two helpers, boring dialogue, no pint to the overall story or their motivations (they all want money. That's it...). It's like the dev's want you to celebrate violence and depravity by playing this game. I have never deeply hated a game like this.

The gameplay was less offensive, but not forgivable at all. A.I. that heads right towards you (same engine from max payne 3. Absolute laziness) Weak explosions. Crap car physics, nothing to do. I was looking to buy another ps3 for this game, glad i didn't.

I was absolutely heartbroken over the crash physics. Franklins excessive use of the "N" word was annoying and I felt once they took him from the ghetto and put him in that mansion that he lost what little appeal he had.
Trevor really pisses me off. His racist rants against rednecks is uncalled for and very offensive. R* tried to portray him as a redneck, then you find out he's a Canadian with a serious mental problem. The glorification of rape and his constant rambling really make me wanna jump him off a building. What a crappy character.
Michael's okay, but he could've been a lot better. This game shouldn't have been about being servants to the F.I.B., it makes no sense.

Then we have the soundtrack. We're in a new San An. It should have killer, nostalgia music in it like San An did. But this has to be the worst music that I've ever heard in my life. I'm not saying all the songs suck, because there are some that I like, I just find that it doesn't fit the overall tone of the game. This is the first GTA that I haven't kept playing for years after. I took it out in Dec. and haven't touched it since.

I'm glad to meet someone else who has similar views on this game too because a lot of the sheep ate it hook, line and sinker. Lets just hope that the next one will be everything that we've always wanted. Sad thing is, it could be years before we see it. Possibly not until the end of the PS4 and Xbox1's life cycle.

And that is what both angers and scares me today about the opinion of people today in this country. Nobody wants to think! They see something in a magazine, on a billboard, tv and swear that it is deservedly awesome, and won't really think of why. My brother loves it, and it's not possible for him to even fully evaluate the damn game by it's individual components. I hear other posters tell people that they "don't get" GTA. The repeated comments of this floors me. Has the average intelligence and moral literacy of people declined so much that we cannot see what is filth right on front of our eyes?

I told some adult friends who had got the game for their kids to not let them play it, and that the story is too degenerate and evil for children to be enjoying. Right over there heads, they say their kids won't be paying attention to that stuff, and just the game itself.

The way games are going these days, i don't see myself getting into current gen. EVERYTHING looks boring, or the same from last gen, with slightly prettier graphics. The only that caught my attention was infamous second son, and upon watching people play through it on YT, struggled to stay awake after awhile. I am worried that games are losing novelty and innovation, but i am even more worried that games are dwindling in quality! Crap stories, characters, same ole mechanics, plenty of bugs and glitches, DLC... the future of counsel gaming looks annoying and drab to me. I am going to invest in building a good strong PC for gaming instead of buying another gaming laptop, and enjoy the still good PC and indie developed games that come out. I have just started old school games; i dl'd a snes emulator, and am playing super metroid, good fun, thinking of what other games to try out for snes or any other system. Any ideas?

I think this is the end of good GTA's. If the story went this direction, i don't see them veering of of it, and will continue with this quality of story. Just like Max Payne 3, R* is dropping quality it seems. I liked RDR, but even some of the character in that were crap, and they skipped alot of great opportunities with possible characters.
