  • Did you notice these 12 early signs Big Smoke would betray CJ in GTA San Andreas that Rockstar Games put hidden early? There are a lot of secret hidden clues and hints that Big Smoke would end up becoming bad in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas compared to other GTA Games, some of these include the famous Big Smokes Order and CRASH always being at Smoke's house.

      ​@@MossiahAce091 If I was in Big Smokes shoes, I would publicly have a home in Grove Street but just in case also a SECRET house deep in Ballas territory (that I would tell about to no grove street member) where I could run for my life spontaneously in the same minute I hear Grove Street crowds have discovered my treachery. I find it bizarre to remember from 20 years ago that Smoke did not even seem nervous to take my protagonist (CJ) to his Ballas territory house. Like I said, I would have gone to great lengths to hide my Ballas house. As far as I can remember, immediately after I got "mission complete", I was nervous like "Oh boy!!! I need to get the heck out of here back to Grove Street to save my game before the Ballas jump on my throat".

    For point 6, once again, Big Smoke's infamous order was really just him ordering for the whole car as he repeats everyone's order and add his own stuff. Hence the "I'll take a number 9, fat boy", CJ was talking to Smoke and why Smoke asked him what he wanted in the first place.

    • @Philipp3022
      @Philipp3022 8 месяцев назад +6

      Big Smokes missions are all about his drug dealing buisness (as said in the video none of the missions are in favor for the gang and just in favor for Big Smoke). The Russians tried to do a drug deal and Big Smoke wanted to crash it because its bad for his own buisness.
      In the first Grove Street part of the story you have several different parts giving you the hints that the drugs harm the gang more than the benefits it brings for the gang. The most obvious story line is the Big Bear story line who is shadow of his past because he became a crack junkie. Another is Sweets attempts to clean his streets and the gang from drugs and reunite the Grove families and so on.
      This ties into his connections to Tenpenny who corrupts/blackmail gang members for his own agenda. He uses the gang wars and drugs to keep the gangs down and busy with each other while keeping the crime rates high which would result in additonal police authority, funding and so on. Big Smoke in this occasation is a usefull idiot for the cops - as hinted through their presence at Big Smokes home (Tenpenny is also like the final boss you kill after you already killed Big Smoke). They feeding him with resources, informations or whatever to keep his buisness running for this goal.
      So the possible connection between the Russians and Big Smoke could simply be that Tenpenny gave him the info in order to escalate another gang war between Grove Street and the Russians.
      (Rockstar likely was inspired by stuff like the CIA running drug networks in black neighborhoods in the 90's, corrupt cops who push for high constant crime rates to fortify their power and the overall topic of the thin line between people controlling the drugs turning into the drugs controlling the people, since Rockstar likes to do this kind of political references in their ingame world)

    W 1 punkcie filmu było powiedziane że Big Smoke pojawił się w domu CJ ale prawda jest taka że CJ podczas gdy został aresztowany przez Tenpenniego spóźniał się na pogrzeb. Zniecierpliwione rodzeństwo CJ'a oraz Ryder postanowili nie czekać dłużej i pojechali na pogrzeb zostawiając Big Smoke'a w domu żeby na niego poczekał. Tym samym nie można tego określić jako "przedwczesną zdradę".

    Mary doesn't make him the big money tho, Mary is only the daughter.
    Who is Mary's mother then? Maybe the one that's behind the hood addiction? The one that got Smoke his house, that's closer to his business partners?

    In 2003, I was reading a gaming magazine, about the new GTA, which would be San Andreas. The magazine had to edit out a screenshot, of one of the developers computers, who was working on finishing up the game.
    Said screenshot, had "Smoke" NPC behavior, "Smoke" follower behavior, and Smoke "End Game Boss" behavior, with his model in the flak jacket, and armed with the auto shotgun. The magazine's first press run had to be delayed due to having to edit out the photo of the major game spoiling screenshot. A good buddy of mine had that gamepro[not sure if it was Gamepro or Electronic Gaming Monthly] magazine, selling it years ago for $3000 USD.
    Good times. And no, I never spoiled anyone's fun by narcing on the screenshot. I simply pretended to be amazed the was the turncoat when the reveal happens.
    FYI, Ryder wasn't supposed to be bad either, in fact another storyline was scrapped in which CJ frees Ryder from being framed by Tenpenny and Smoke.

    I know The Introduction is canon and is meant to be taken as such - but Ryder's betrayal was so badly implemented in-game. Pre-The Green Sabre there's basically no reason at all to suspect Ryder of being a traitor, but then all of a sudden he's put into The Green Sabre cutscene but is not even mentioned during or after the mission, all the way until a minor mention during Photo Opportunity, and then to his death in Pier 69. During Yay-ka boom boom, the ONLY canon mention of Ryder being a traitor was made by CJ and Cesar during the cutscene - and then after that, it was like Ryder never existed - he banishes from the game never to be mentioned again. Even the mission in where he's killed, Pier 69, seems to me created in DYOM but with voice-over - there's no elaborated cutscene or dialogue.

    Okay two things dont make sense here.
    Smoke wasnt hiding in the house to kill Sweet. Why would he try to do that with a baseball bat, and why even do it at the house at all, when he was apparently involved in the drive by at the funeral. Also, if he was planning to kill anybody at that house, he may as well have killed CJ with the bat right there, if he was planning on getting rid of him anyway. So there might be another reason for Smoke loitering around the house, maybe he tried to get rid off evidence for his involvement.
    Second thing is the Cluckin Bell drive by. I dont think Smoke knew about it or tried to lure the gang into this. Why the hell would he plan a drive by on a car he's sitting in himself. It also looks like a random encounter in the sequence. He does refuse shooting though to spare his secret friends.

    Maybe Big Smoke called one of his Balla contacts from his cellphone (if he’s got one) and told them that they were going to the Bell’s drive-thru to wait for them to pull up and hit them there. Maybe when Skoke saw Trey’s car, he would’ve bolted from the back when the bullets started flying hoping everyone would get killed in there
    It seems kinda odd how he’d be so nonchalant in the car during the getaway back to the Grove while being shot at and very likely stopping a bullet or 2 while being close to Sweet who would’ve been shot at
