lol at "different universe"



either there is or its just continuity issues i.e the writers are like "F.U"



now maybe i'm not a huge enough GTA fan as you people (which i thought I was) but i don't remember anything about different universes and such



its either just a different timeline or the writers don't care, i mean you think they care? a few plotholes here and there doesn't stop you from giving them your cash



i mean no one found the plothole that 'michael' was in witness protection for OVER 10yrs just HAPPENS to be easily tracked down by a hill billy idiot like 'trevor' using the phonebook...hell it wasn't even him, it was his dopey friend wade whos a complete moron that found him



wtf?? fbi witness protection and you a) give them a same name b) can be traced via a phonebook??



even ign came to the same conclusion i did:



http://au.ign.com/blogs/vampirehorde2/2013/10/10/gtav-plotholes-that-i-cant-seem-to-shake/



anyways the game mentions heaps about ballas and the GS, but even though i'm still early days playing through the game (not finished) i don't know but realistically i doubt they will drop much mention of CJ directly. I mean they split GTA4 into 3 separate games to create a continuity thing going where characters intertwine so it looks cool but people didn't like that much (although it probably was due to people who felt the game seemed incomplete in doing so)



p.s since i'm ranting abit, why do they INSIST on putting special dialogue when doing chases like they did on GTA4?? eg. in this (GTAV) when you chase lazlow you can get special dialogue from lazlow if you focus on him...but thats annoying. You miss dialogue with you and trevor AND you can't watch the road when you drive



pps bring back cool characters like 'tony' from VC, i mean GTA is suppose to be about a cool, action packed charismatic guy who gets the babes



why have R* replaced that iconic character template with emotionally challenged idiots like 'michael' is this GTA or drphil?? ..."duh lets stop them from taking advantage of my daughter"



um most pervs want to see tracey naked mike, we dont' want to play daddy and save her...

Answering a question about the referencing of characters across GTA 3 and GTA 4 the developer replied: "El Burro is referenced as he was also referenced in GTA 1, so it felt appropriate that he should cross “universes” – the “universes” are the worlds interpreted at different definitions, 2d, 3d and high definition, so we felt brands and radio / back ground characters would exist in both, but 3 dimensional characters would not.



"This is the logic (as far as it could be considered logical) behind it – so no, we don’t believe any GTA3 characters could exist in the GTA4 universe."

But you don't need a different universe (i.e. writers saying F.U.) to do that. Some references to them as backstory for the universe would be enough, imo. They don't have to physically appear. They did it with Nico in V (one line by Lester, and possibly a mention by Packie, don't remember), so there's no reason they couldn't have kept it all in the same universe and had similar quick throwbacks to others.

PSN: soulidarity They went the "different universes" route to slap down fan demands to see the old characters return. I kind of get it, they want to move forward with new characters, rather than continually going back to the same characters each game.But you don't need a different universe (i.e. writers saying F.U.) to do that.

The man behind Serious Lance Storm meme on MemeGeneOkerlund.com I'm happy they went old school for the most part, no need for exact characters references...I'm happy we have had Ballas, Familes, and even Vagos as gangs in this game PLUS the fact we got to see Grove Street is all I need.

I find it amusing that when it brought up the text telling me about Strangers and Freaks, then about buying properties they said the city San Andreas instead of our current city.

My point of view, is that the HD GTAs are set in an alternate reality from the older GTAs.



Yes, Lazlow, OG Loc, Madd Dog, and others are in this game, but they are not the same ones that appeared in San Andreas. They're an alternate version of those people from another reality, or another universe, if you prefer. There can be no Happiness without Sadness. No Pleasure without Pain. No Love without Hate. No Life without Death.

What would be pretty sweet though is if R* did a tongue in cheek DLC in which characters from the 3D universe would appear with NO enhancements. In all their PS2 graphical glory and they join forces or some such nonsense with the HD characters. I mean...that would funny right? A good throwback to people wanting to see these older anti-heroes! They did a zombie DLC for RDR so why not?

rdr is a different ball game here, R* in my opinon to split the gaming community, be it Western man with a backbone like RDR, people running around because of a State of emergency, sike, Coney Island being a turf for The Warriors, Manhunt?



Point in being we don't need references, I want and do dream of is GTAV DLC to go all out, TBOGT did save face. GTAV can do it, next generation if done right. http://www.memegeneokerlund.com/meme/zmnh0s
