WHY BRIDGES IN MOST GTA GAMES ARE CONSTANTLY BLOCKED?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Sometimes you just want to get somewhere else and do something that the game doesn't necessarily tell you to do - including going to a part of the map that is not available to you. But why exactly you mustn't go there? Just to make things clear, we are going to take a look at bridges and tunnels that appear in GTA Trilogy, Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories and GTA 4.
Let us know whether you prefer if the recording should be done in original GTA Trilogy or GTA Trilogy remaster :)

Storyline wise, the 4 star wanted level in San Andreas is due to Hernandez calling CJ to tell him that CRASH was watching him and that leaving town would be a big mistake since he was being blackmailed and in that case, framed for Officer Pendlebury’s murder
i was about to point out this nvm
What about in GTA 4?
@@anobody0 as roman said "terrorists, it's been a big scare so we can't cross the bridges so good" or something like that, at the beginning of the game
I'm guessing that tenpenny also has contacts in the San fierro and Las Venturas police departments which would make sense why cj earns a wanted level for entering San fierro and Las Venturas before unlocking both areas
@@JoCaTen yep Rockstar hinted at 9/11
I always loved how they gave a legitimate reason for islands to be inaccessible.
Meanwhile in other games featuring two or three islands like the just cause games, players have the option to either explore around or do missions

The 1988 earthquake in gta sa is a nod to the 1989 earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area that actually collapsed part of the old double decker highway/bay bridge, which is what the expressway bridge is based off of.
but why do you get five stars for crossing using a boat instead of using the broken bridge
@@JackPorter You can't go to the San Fierro due to CRASH warns us not too, because we have been framed as the killer of Pendelbury (while the true ones are CRASH). Hernandez has warned us to stay in Los Santos in the beginning of the game.

I remember being mad that I couldn’t leave the first island in vice city. I was super happy once the bridges opened up but looking back now, it was a good idea. The map is small and I did get bored with it but the story was great! That was the first GTA game I played
Map was big for its time
GTA Vice City was a big city to explore at the time. I would easily get lost especially in the beach areas. The other areas locked were good but not good enough. And Vice City felt bigger and had more interesting places to explore than the other cities did.
same for me
I agree. I never thought Vice City was big, just more fun than Liberty City.
i was the opposite since i played vcs first and got bored of the mainland lmao after unlocking vice city beach it was beautiful with more colors thats why i liked it better than the mainland
I personally loved that. Makes every chapter cool as you were unlocking new areas to explore. Having the map 100% open from the get go made the map feel, ehh... Less new by the end game
Yes sure but it is also amazing that we can find some stuff which explain us what happened in games that for example bridges in Vice City are unlocked. It's very nice for us😄
I agree... I love that about the classic GTA games.... you have progress through the storyline in order to see the entire map
My favorite game that does it is GTA 3 and Liberty City Stories... it felt like you had to earn full map access lol... it felt satisfying
idk the map not being filled in from the start on your first play through kinda helped compensate for that immersion
@@HUBSONGAMES hurricanes. Tf else you need to hear?
I didn't like that 'cause still to this day when I play for example GTA San Andreas I feel kinda more familiar with Los Santos than with the rest of the map. If you don't have any missions in those places there's no incentive to even go there unless you really wanna explore. Again, you don't gain nothing by exploring the map in terms of gaining some progress or something so it never really made sense to me to have those bridges blocked.
Man the 1998 to 2001 bridge is the most complicated bridge project I've ever heard in gta.
Yeah, that's absolutely true😀
@@contentcreeator111 There was a workers strike blocking the bridge.
* laughs in german build politics *
I get why terrorism was redacted in GTA3. All the closures was just blamed in a hurricane. But the flying tank cheat will get you past that.
Spawn the rino after walking around the barrier. Activate the cheat. Accelerate at full speed while firing the main weapon behind you. Aim carefully.
I know this is a joke but where I live a bridge way delayed for two years (took five years all together to finish) because of crab spawning/nesting areas

Honestly closed islands forces the player to explore the current area instead of running away and getting lost. It gave the games character and without it they feel barren and empty. Such as gta 5 feels only like a giant island in the middle of nowhere vs a community of islands.
I’m glad that I ain’t the only one thinking that. The bridges or excuses of bridges being closed until a certain event allows us a part of the map to be unlocked and when the storyline gets closer to the conclusion, the whole map is open to explore.
I agree. Leaving the whole map open at the start would quickly bore the heck out of me. I'm glad they give us bits and pieces of the area at the start until we reach certain levels of progress and they treat us to a new map. I never minded it. People keep complaining about how "other franchises could do it why can't GTA". Well with all due respect, there's a reason why old GTA games still stood the test of time while the other franchises (as much as I enjoy them) are called the GTA-copy. It's all about pacing. If you have everything in this world you would just want more, if you're restricted, you'll appreciate it more when you get something new.
Rockstar always find ways to make their worlds immersive.
Yeah and that is worth emphasizing! It's so nice to explore such things😀
Except for gta v its depressing that the only town of note is in the bottom of the map makes everywhere else feel empty.
@@thewhitewolf58 they totally should have done 2 cities, or made 1 massive city like GTA 4s Liberty City, and included all the neighborhoods because it didn’t feel like Los Angeles size wise
@@thewhitewolf58 I mean other than the big open areas around the lake and paleto bay the map is just blank mountains
In GTAV, Michael and Trevor are banned in Los Santos and it happened mid-game. At least, the concept of area blocking is still there in later games. Also in RDR2, southern West Elizabeth is restricted until before the epilogue.
Yeah by that sniper
I find this interesting because whenever I hear the radio stations they say things like, all bridges have closed down, like in San Andreas the bridges were closed down due to an earthquake, and and Vice cities bridge were closed down due to a hurricane storm, just like in vice city stories, also due to a hurricane though.
I'm pretty sure the bridges are usually closed just to make it feel like a big achievement after doing a couple of missions It's kinda like how in gta 3 and gta vc, you can't swim due to technology being limited so they made up a story later to make it seem more reasonable.
Yes but the story behind is also very impressive😀
Petrol spills (III) and sharks (VC)
@@andreimihail3677 No, the bridges are closed in VC because of an in-game hurricane warning.
@@Nefare1781 they meant the no swimming problem. Those are the stories behind the no swimming. There are petrol spills in gta3 and sharks in Vice city.
@@PrestonBourgeois that’s Why in scarface u can swim but there’s sharks 🦈
I remember firing up GTA 3 every day for years as a kid and being disappointed the bridge still wasn’t open. I didn’t know you had to beat the missions to open it.
There's even worse than closed bridges ; an open area where enemies spawn out of thin air and an invisible sniper eventually shoots you down

I always loved hearing the sarcastic and satirical commentary on the radio in GTA games about not only the in-game events but also background environment. In the HD universe you can even online news paper articles reporting on missions you complete in the story, which I felt was pretty cool
That’s pretty cool. In GTA V on bleeter, people are talking about mercenaries that tried to shot down a crop duster, a sinking ship in LS Port and shooting sounds from Michael’s house and more and more. Nice detail
What about the elevator bridge in Liberty City and the ferries?
Well, the ferries were on a strike, because the workers were worried they may lose their jobs once the Callahan Bridge opens. The elevator bridge was also closed by the striking workers, who were worried they may lose their jobs because of the planned tunnel extension. In GTA III, the tunnels were obviously yet to be finished at the start of the game, while the elevator bridge's lifting mechanism reportedly broke down.
I loved the ferries
Hello there! Yes, we excluded Shoreside Lift Bridge and the ferries and here's why.. Our main goal was to present the most important objects when it comes to crossing other islands. Since we included Porter Tunnel (by the way in some way related to the ferries) or Callahan Bridge, there was a lot of talking about union strikes in 1998. So we felt that it's not necessary to put Shoreside Lift Bridge since it was related to strikes as well. And besides there's not much to tell here.. maybe except radio announcements. But we hope you enjoyed episode nevertheless 🙂
Truly 3d liberty city had some major budget cuts there during late 90s and early 2000s. To have the bridges being closed down
I like to think of the bridges as "difficulty gates", just as you can only have a maximum of 4 stars at the beginning of the game. Bridges eventually open and you can reach 5, and eventually, 6 once you progress further enough into the game (harder missions, etc, etc)
Im lost?
@@jdavis6646 at the beginning of the games, you can only acquire up to 4 wanted stars (the point where the police choppers are all over you), as well as the other locations (such as Las Venturas and San Fierro in GTA San Andreas) being locked until you progress further into the story.
Accessing these locked locations early, via cheats or exploits, causes you to instantly gain 4 wanted stars. As you progress through the story and the locations open up, you'll be able to earn up to 5 stars wanted level (Military Intervention) and 6 stars wanted level (Tanks everywhere)
9:45 Roman in GTA IV litterally said why the bridges were closed
i never knew the collapsed construction was caused by the earthquake. Good detail
Thank You!
in gta sa tempenny might also be also be a cause as cj recives a call from hermandez after a few missions telling him that Tempenny said not to leave los santos, which might also be the cause of the 4 star wanted level if we leave
Yeah sure it is also a good reason. However we we want show other reasons as well 😄
DING DING DING DING GOOD ANSWER MIHAI
That is the reason. The bridges were closed in-game for CJ specifically because Tenpenny didn't want him to leave town.
Just looking at the thumbnail alone, I already have an answer to that question. The bridges were originally blocked because Rockstar had a thing where they wanted their playerbase to play through the story before getting the chance to explore the map. A method Rockstar abandoned partly in GTA V. I say partly because yes we have access to the entire map but we have to explore the map to open it up in the pause menu, if that made sense.
A very interesting and informative video on a very underrated topic of lore on the games. I always loved that each time bridges were closed in the game, it also had an in game explanation for the closure, Which I think really brings the world to life for what is essentially a practical, gameplay progression restriction.
From a game design standpoint, It was likely to treat each area of the map as a "unlockable area".
It encouraged players to do missions in a organic way.
Same for weapons, Gta3 starts off with just a bat and pistol, then as you do more missions you unlock the uzi, sniper, rocket launcher and M16
I actually really miss this set up of having a part of the city blocked off for a while, makes you look forward to it opening up
In Vice city, both hurricanes actually bypassed the state and the bridges reopened.
I still remember unlocking Manhattan in gta 4 that was sick
Also to note about the tunnels in GTA 3 leading to the upstate, Rockstar created them to so players felt like there was more to explore in the map. It gave the illusion that, players were not cut off from the outside world, but could not access it due to having to solve problems in Liberty City. Also, the other GTA maps like Vice City, Modern Liberty CIty, and San Andreas are attached to the mainland. Rockstar did not want to actually show how they were connected because it would make the map look bad. And, also because in these maps, they wanted the player to fully immerse themselves in the games map. Some players also believe that it gave maps the feeling of loneliness, being cut off from the outside world.
Where are this Maps connected to the mainland? Have they also tunnels or something, never saw something like this.
@@badbread1579 Liberty City in GTA 4 would have been connected to the mainland US via Alderney. San Andreas in GTA 5 would have been connected on the eastern side of the map. In GTA 5, Lester mentions that they are in Southern San Andreas and that the water north of Paleto Bay is actually a river. You can see evidence of this by going to the eastern side of San Andreas and looking at how unnatural the coast looks. Other reasons why we don't see the mainland on these games, tech limitations, space for the game, and like I mention above, to have a better esthetic when playing. They really wanted to take advantage of the whole idea that Americans only focus on their part of the country only and no one else.
@@MisterMichaelVReyes Yea Gameplay reason is clear, i just was interested where they say ingame that it is connected.
Yeah if niko or Trevor wanted to they could drive to Las venturas or something but they need to fix all the problems that come in their way
Damn bro. This channel has only 1 thousand subscribers? You seriously need more. I thought this would have like 100k! The quality is amazing!!
So uplifting words dude, thanks!
I always liked how the worlds would open up, and usually they would make it make sense. Like how in Vice City there was a hurricane watch thing going on inbound! Good stuff!
They don't even block bridges like that in real life only in a game would they pull that BS
@@TitanicExpertJamesGrass I mean, yeah, I suppose so. 😅but at least there was somewhat of a reason as to why you couldn't go there. 😆
I always taught why the bridge is blocked in GTA Vice City! And then once i completed the Military mission the bridge got unlocked and made me more love into that game because of that!
When it becomes to dialogue and radio stations Rockstar has an immersive work!!
To be honest, this will be one of the things I'll miss in game, specifically GTA. It's just a guilty pleasure I have with progression, just feels rewarding the first time actually having to work to explore a new area. That and consequential if you did want to go over the boundaries to get a 'sneak peak' with a high wanted level. I'm doubting future installments will include any of this.
Forces you to complete your missions. It gives you that more satisfaction. Bring that side of the game back.
Gta San Andreas is my favorite because I managed to complete all available side activities in the locked territories with a constant 4 star wanted level like collectibles and side missions.
The amount of quality and the way he talks about the stuff like this actually pretty interesting for such a small channel
Let's not forget GTA, you have a bridge that is "being worked on" until you progress to a certain point in the game. Or you could just use a penetrator and drive over it at full speed.
Then there is using a tank and it's missiles to do the same after you have made the first jump and you steal the tank of course.
I thought the radio in Vice City said that Hurricane Hermione missed Vice City. If so, maybe it was another strong hurricane between Gordy (1984) and Hermione (1986) that decimated the huts.
very underrated channel, i love these so much
Thank You, it's so uplifting words!
Too bad that the games then didn't have it where when you crash, it sends u flying through the windshield sending you like 20 ft ahead. With that the player could go over the barrier.
If I recall correctly, Upstate Liberty *was* meant to be in GTA3 and 4, but for GTA3’s case, it was scrapped because consoles couldn’t handle a huge map and because of the time crunch, and in GTA4, Upstate Liberty was scrapped simply because the developers wanted to make the game more compact to have a fully fleshed out city and story, and not worry so much about the size of the game.
If I was rockstar games, I could’ve saved a beta map of upstate liberty so players deserve a countryside road trip to explore. Maybe even having some missions for Claude set after the main storyline where he is hunted down by every gang he pissed off from the favors and missions of gang leaders. It would be amazing to see Claude working for the Zaibatsu Corporation like he did for gta 2. As well as some bikers and maybe have some plot points and plot holes filled up, even who leads the Leone family after Sals death.
@@elperrodelautumo7511 Maybe he flees Liberty with Maria after Shoreside Vale and has to work with Zaibatsu or CJ or someone to escape upstate, maybe even return to San Fierro.
I think the game radio explains the logical reason IN GAME for it
GTA: III callahan bridge is in disrepair, porter tunnel is constructed
GTA: VC Hurricane warning
GTA: SA corrupted Tempenny closed them bridges
You missed IV
@@christianfrost8660 ok then. GTA: IV terrorist attack threat
I kinda wish roads like the upstate tunnel of liberty city existed in the other GTA games, It sort of has the mystery and curious feeling of wanting to know what's behind them
In the beta version of GTA 4, they were going to include a part of the Upstate, which wouldve included a tunnel to drive through to get there. It was cut though, because the developers thought it was weird having a wooded area and then off 1 mile away, was the hustle and bustle of Liberty City.
@@MisterMichaelVReyes interesting
@@afraidoffear you can even find the area if you search it on youtubr
@@MisterMichaelVReyes it doesnt have to he 1 mile away though... Could be maryland... Maryland is past new York
@demonjmh no Maryland is south of New York make it like Vermont
Blocked bridges to new areas of the map is just there to give a message to the player, to complete the story before progressing. It is to block access until you progress the story.
🤔 idk did you know in the movie the dark knight rises, the Batman movie, the villain Bane also destroys all the bridges in Gotham city. It seems like in fictional version of NYC the bridges are always getting destroyed.
@@cdthree3805 Yea, but in game design theory, the game designers design what should happen, so we cannot overwrite the story just because we like to, we just have to roll with the punches and deal with it, lol.
Also Grand Theft Auto series isn't about Batman, so it would make sense not to be about Batman. That is also a good point.
The thing is, if you want Batman, go play PS1 games Batman & Robin or Gotham City Racer. Then tell me if you enjoy Batman again. You might or you won't.
😹
I believe Grand Theft Auto should follow their original story which has a formula that works, breaking from that game formula will just lead to strange results in some cases maybe not all the time, but it's important not to change the fabric of the game too much to preserve the game's identity and vibe.
@@cougar-town Bro a lot of writers, Hollywood and game creators are Freemasons. I don’t think you understand that. You think they’re just writing their own unique creations but a lot of them follow Masonic teachings. The bridges being destroyed in entertainment and media in what is portrayed as NYC is Masonic teachings. If you live here in the US you should know this is a Masonic country. The founding fathers, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson etc. were all Freemasons.
@@cougar-town It’s why there is a Mason hall pretty much everywhere you go in America. There is a local mason hall near you too. Type whatever city you live in and mason lodge and you’ll find it.
So that’s why the 6th Street Bridge here in LA is always getting closed down
6:05 a lot of people are also not aware but in vice city the hurricane DOES ACTUALLY COME. as in the games code, one of the weather patterns is under the name "hurricane." it is how ever just a very heavy rain storm and wind. I do not remember if it comes in vcs aswell but i assume no.
That's crazy how.much details are in open world games , I'm on mafia 2 atm
I also liked how they blocked it but still let you get over there through tricky ways, it makes it exciting getting over there when you normally can’t do it, especially when it gives you stars and the cops chase you. It’s good that they let you get there another way and didn’t just add a full invisible barrier to not let you get there
We fully agree!
all fun an games til u made it to a hospital/respawn point and now have infinite 4-5 star loop.
Because the developers want you to actually play the story and earn your access to the other parts of the map.
I actually loved this feature, it always felt amazing when you unlock new part of the map, and I like how there is always a reason why the bridges are closed (hurricane, earthquake etc.) I missed this feature in GTA V. Having the whole map open from the beginning felt overwhelming and unrewarding
However. It may be bigger but GTA V feels "smaller" since you only have two official areas, maybe 3 "cities" but they feel too small.
Sandy Shores and Paleto Bay feel more like towns than actual "cities". Only so much one can explore there.
Sure we also have Mount Chiliad but again, isn't a place I'd really visit
@@carlosdasilva2409 I never liked maps in GTA IV or V exactly because they felt big but empty. While in GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas every area had something to do, especially if you are trying to complete them 100%
@@MarkoVuckovic32 Exactly. To this day I still find entertaining to boot up San Andreas and have some fun around the map. Whether it is unleashing chaos, exploring or just wandering aimlessly until I find something that catches my eye. GTA IV feels a little "empty" on certain areas but free roam is still entertaining. GTA V however...I just get bored of it. It's not like there is much to do despite the secondary missions. Heck, even collectibles feel like they give mediocre rewards. The "alien" buggy looks odd and cool but I don't see it as a proper reward, the notes give you I think it was 10 bucks and the nuclear waste is the most "rewarding" in terms of money (but I don't remember if the quest alone is enough to recover the money spent on the dock).
Back in San Andreas we unlocked cars for doing certain secondary quests, free amo/weapons for certain collectibles, heck. 100%ing the game gave you a frickin' tank and a hydra (things you can access more easily in GTA V so eh).
I didn't even bother 100% GTA V, so I don't know if it's even worth it. Don't get me wrong, the story is good, the game isn't bad at all. It just doesn't feel like it is worth completing EVERYTHING from it haha
@@carlosdasilva2409 I tried completing GTA V 100% but I didn't manage to get all collectibles since I got bored
@@MarkoVuckovic32 Then there is getting all missions completed as intended by the devs. Which I also gave up on since it became more stressful
I always liked when you went past barriers on bridges in GTa4 how you instantly got a 5 star wanted level...
helicopter or otherwise, yes! Plus running the toll both got stars.. but not in 5
Roman explained in the beginning why the bridges were closed but I found it weird you only need a Visa to get passed them.
Roman Bellic: "Fucking terrorists, there's been a big scare and you can't go across the bridges so good."
In addition to spoiling new areas too soon, it keeps your focus in the areas where missions are. Also, even if you get to a new area particularly in San Andreas, though you can enter some places there is nothing to do you cant buy safe houses there. Unless you use a no wanted level cheat, you cant explore without the police going after you.
There's no other video game series out that goes into so much background lore as the GTA games. This helps with immersion of the game and one of the many reasons why no other series comes close...
Im so happy most youtubers still use the original games and not the new downgraded edition 🙏🙏🙏 super good video!
Original versions are just the best!
That San Andreas music is still awesome till this day
Let's not forget about the LC Elevator Bridge in GTA 3 and LCS, For LCS, The strikers were still continuing thier blockage in parts of the city, because of this, the Elevator Bridge connecting Staunton Island and shoreside Vale had been closed, and for GTA 3, the elevator bridge's mechanism had broke. And it took a while to get it repaired.
In GTA: LCS, Shoreside Vale became accessible after completing the mission “Love on the Rocks,” where Salvatore Leone was arrested and imprisoned in Pike Creek for his involvement with Donald Love and his crime connections with the Leones, resulting his disqualification of his mayoral election to Miles O’Donovan.
O’Donovan immediately became as the new mayor of Liberty City and officially announced the end of the workers’ strike and continued the construction of the Portland exit of the Porter Road Tunnel.
I like the detail in rockstar whole series they really put out alot of effort and fast adult swim shit.

@@gaminginvestigators that's awesome in some way, it's nice to see my people talking about this gem of a game series haha pozdrowienia!
I’d say GTA 5 is the only game where players can roam the entire map from the get-go without penalty or blockage (excluding Fort Zancudo and LSIA, of course)
and the jail
Yes, however in the old gta games they do not put INVISIBLE SNIPERS to stop you from exploring a certain area of the map. *cough cough RDR2 cough*
All.....you brought me back to my early PS2 days.....I don't about San Andreas bridges. But I do know why Vice.City.& GTA 3.bridge closures....Fars as Vice City, the brides was closed is of you listen to Vice City news....it.clearly said "Closures to.the bridges is do.a tropical storm is coming & warns to stay off the bridges. Which means you have to complete the main island area mission so you can then do missions on the other islands....Now the reason for GTA 3 bridges to Staunton Island due to reconstruction of the bridge....which only means you have complete missions from the mainland to then Staunton Island to explore.......💯♠️♦️♥️❤♣️🖤
It’s crazy when the bridge blocked when I continued the missions to unlock the bridge 😅😅😅
I loved that idea of limiting the player in the beginning, when I was a kid I was always looking for ways to escape the city, sometimes using a boat in the vice city or cheats, or a bug where u could jump fast with a motorcycle near the bridge it will spawn u on the bridge after the barricade, it was cool, also in san adreas taking the train and drive it fast to skip the barricades and using cheats, it was a really cool idea and it was fun for me when I was a kid I was just using passwords, create chaos and so on, I did not care about the missions or the plot.
GTA 4 go passed close bridges to Algonquin and Alderney is a 6 star wanted level.
So for san andreas i thought it was tenpenny stopping us from leaving town based on that call from officer hernandez
In GTA Vice City, game says there are a storm problem but when Diaz calls us, the gate goes to Starfish is being open. Weird.
I love the tie ins for different events etc making more depth to the gta verse

In GTA IV, Bohan is the only island that is accessible from the beginning of the game.
Its a connector between liberty and manhunt city see the gta underground map you will understand
Callahan bridge must be one of the unluckiest bridges to exist.
-Is delayed a lot
-after complete construction 1 year later gets blown up by the cartels
You know you've made good game when in 2022 ...
The 4 star wanted level in GTA: SA is due to TenPenny and Polaski telling Hernandez to call CJ to tell him not to leave town. Hernandez was most likely part of IAB undercover as part of CRASH which explains why deleted parts of GTA: SA reveal Hernandez told Cesar to warn CJ of Big Smoke's betrayal and Hernandez sacrificed himself to protect CJ. CJ was able to go to the desert and Las Venturas once the bridges were fixed because TenPenny and Polaski lost all their leverage on Sweet and CJ to Toreno. There's no justification whatsoever for a 6-star wanted level at all for the bridges in GTA 4. I'm glad they got rid of that bullshit in GTA 5.
You assume that the Ghost town is part of Liberty city, that is incorrect. Ghost down was not intended to be found. It is a prop to the opening mission. In the opening mission, a newspaper article is also displayed which says that the protagonist was convicted and was being sent to a Penitentiary. To be convicted would mean that he has gone through the whole court process before being found guilty, which can take several years. So the 'Ghost town' displayed in the opening scene is in the same Liberty City, but several years earlier. In that time, changes had been made to the Liberty City streetscape to make the exact location unrecognisable. It must have happened at some point between 1992 and 1998, after he left San Andreas but before Toni Cipriani stepped off the Bus. It is not located around Saint Mark's Bistro, as this was present relatively unchanged in GTA SA, nor around Luigi's Club which was featured in GTA SA The Introduction
@@gabrielmartines3510 That is not a theory, that is part of the story! As I already said there is a newspaper article - 2 minutes and 29 seconds into the opening mission - ruclips.net/video/RoQStKto_n4/видео.html The sequence of events is 1. Come to LC. 2. Do Bank Robbery with crazy GF. 3. Crazy GF shoots him and leaves him for dead but is saved and arrested. 4. Taken to jail 5. Go to court and have a trial (This takes years). 6. Found Guilty with Conviction, soon to be transferred to Prison 7. Newspaper story about conviction and upcoming transfer to Prison. 8. Transfer to prison intercepted by the Colombian Cartel to secure the Oriental Gentleman, and hacking attacks on Government databases. 9. Claude and 8-Ball get away in the commotion. 10. Police can't figure out who got away and Radio news report on that.
@@gabrielmartines3510 Your logic is not making any sense my friend. How do you know that they didn't know who he was at the time of conviction? It is not an important detail.
@@gabrielmartines3510 Please actually watch/play the Intro mission. The Lore is all explained in there. The Police Databases were hacked to delete the identification of the missing felons, and they think that the missing convicted felons might have even died in the explosion with their remains falling into the river. That explains why there wasn't immediate police attention after the scene.
Of course, the Police would aggressively go after someone freely committing serious crimes in public. But that is because they are committing serious crimes, not because they necessarily know who the person is or that they are an escaped convict, but because they are actively committing serious crimes in public which must be stopped.
There are certain liberties which need to be taken in the world of a video game compared to real life to make the game fun. It is a game, not a simulator. Time in GTA3 moves much faster than real life. What seems like 1 minute to us is actually 1 hour in Liberty City. So to us, it seems like there are 24 minutes in a day. This is why the Police seem to lose interest quickly because the cases go cold faster. They are also very incompetent, corrupt, and have short memories.
If the game was designed your way, there would be a non-stop Wanted Level. I am not saying that it would be a bad game mechanic to have, but that just isn't part of the game.
A lot of figures in criminal organisations are put under surveillance rather than being actively pursued, many are not pursued at all because there are too many criminals out there to catch them all. This is particularly true for the underbelly of Liberty City which is filled with criminals.
And even though Claude never comes across an NPC who is just as psycho in Public as he is, they still exist- Toni Cipriani was a Psycho doing the same kind of thing year earlier, and possibly CJ as well (we only know for sure that he did Carjackings in LC).
@HEY!YO!IT'S!RAZORCLA(E)W You make a good point, but this is literally how the story goes. The newspaper story doesn't lie, he got CONVICTED. That means he got found guilty in court. The newspaper story in the game even says that. Now you're telling me that somehow Liberty City somehow gives speedy trials and whole parts of the city can be knocked down and replaced overnight? Why have any backstory at all? Why do GTAs feature Prisons if it is impossible for anyone to ever go to one? I am just explaining what the backstory actually is, is unrealistic as it may be, that is the story.
Thanks for taking a part in discussion! We'll gladly comment on your statement 🙂 We are assuming that Ghost Town is a part of Liberty City due to the fact that the intro happened in Liberty City. We have to admit that we are not experts in terms of how long the court process could take, but knowing that Claude has committed this crime without any doubts, would this still take years to find him guilty? We mean there are cameras which might be enough proof of him being there. We don't even know whether he killed a civilian in there, but that's a possibility. And probably a long process could take place if Claude had a very good lawyer, but we don't think he could considering he was knew in Liberty City. To support our way of thinking, please take a look at Liberty Tree article that was published on 18th October 2001 (link -> gta.fandom.com/wiki/Liberty_Tree/Have_You_Seen_This_Woman%3F?so=search) Among other things it is written that "The FBI have been after this woman for several years now, following a string of robberies in Texas and New Mexico, and now believe she may have relocated to Liberty City, possibly with an accomplice." This part of article clearly states that now, that is October 2001, the couple has moved to Liberty City very recently, taking into consideration that they found flight ticket to Francis International Airport last week. Let us know about this Cheers!
The reason is the first part of the game is practically a tutorial of the games
I was 9 years old back then in 2012, I remember getting stuck at the infamous "Wrong Side of Tracks" mission so I was just fuckin' around with the cheats. Had no internet access back then so I was just trying out cheats give by my friends at school on an unsaved game file. Activated cheat ROCKETMAN and it was my first time using the jetpack in Gta San Andreas lol
I remember flying all the way to San Fierro with 4 star police on my tail and the first time I saw China Town and the San Fierro tram my mind just got blown out, I had no idea there was this much further to the game lol. Got killed immediately as soon as I landed thanks to the cops (who also looked different to Los Santos cops so that also had me bamboozled lol) but this whole accidental fuckin' around with cheats gave me a huge boost to sit my ass down and complete that god awful mission so that I could discover rest of the map.
The desert with creepy UFO vibes, little villages underneath the mount Chilliad and the woods around them were my favourite places to traverse through while listening to KRose in my Yosemite pickup truck that I used to drive in-game. God I loved this game's map, played every GTA except V yet but I do hope V's map is also as much fun to explore, especially the wilderness since they got wild animals in GTA V.
the bridge in gta 3 is because it blew up. you'd know that if you played the game!
Explains why members of the Grove Street Gang can't shoot crouching and why they only shoot crouching in 4 missions which are Sweet's Girl, Catalyst, House Party and Green Saber.
The bridges are blocked because R* thought that, if pewdiepie ever played those games, he should avoid them
The article says they don't speak Arabic and yet you said it was conversation in Arabic.
I think the Callahan bridge was actually under renovation in LCS in 1998 , bc when you think about it I’m really not sure Portland was connected by ferry to a very long time.
I knew somewhat about gta 4 because in the beginning, Roman mentions the bridges being out due to terrorists
They didn’t even get the date of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake right.
Bro, as a someone whose second language was English which then quickly became my primary language, listening to the narration is so jarring and funny ;D It sounds like someone just copy and pasted their script into google translate and then recorded the lines. Im not knocking it, you have to do what you have to do and obviously use the tools available but man, it sure is funny listening to the narration and picking up on little nuances
fun fact. k dst radio host is actually axel from guns n roses
I like how there are story’s for stuff as little as a bridge being closed
Just GTA, we can always expect a lot :)
A very interesting and very insightful video there indeed, overall very well presented too and great to look into some of the stories/theories behind things like this!😁👍👏
Thanks man! 😀
In gtaSa officer tempenny calls u and tells you that if u try to skip town that u will get shot
1k congrats 🎉
Thank You😄
Fun fact: the earthquake in gta san andreas is kinda similar to the movie called "san andreas"
Reasonable and logical reasons why the bridges and roads blocked
- GTA 3, Liberty City Stories, Advance: Callahan Bridge was in disrepair after the explosion, Porter Tunnel was under construction.
- GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories: Hurricane warning activated in the Vice City
- GTA San Andreas: Being wanted by the CRASH-affiliated police forces across San Andreas due to the murder of Ralph Pendelbury, not the earthquake warning.
- GTA 4 (except their spin-offs): A ridiculous terrorist threat due to the fake news spreading Liberty City after the terrorist chatted the officials to bomb.
I think this is a very cool feature because it makes you curious how the other places look in GTA SA case, as a child I was curious af and when I'd open a new part of map id be excited so much, so it really gave some good memories
But why was Big Smoke doing in the Johnson's House while Sweet and Kendal were at their mom's funeral? CJ couldn've been too distraught to question this and it's never brought up afterwards.
How is it that Cesar know about C.R.A.S.H conspiring with CJ's friends and who tipped him off!? He threw a hint that he heard a rumor - why would someone tip Cesar and not Sweet or Carl? Whole thing didn't make sense.
Big Smoke was likely in the Johnson's house looking for something to cover up his or C.R.A.S.H's involvement with the murder of CJ's mother. It was never really elaborated on.
Sweet has beef with Caesar because he from a rival gang. CJ is really the only person Caesar can talk to about the Green Saber without confrontation. The person who tipped of Caesar was probably one of his own guys who spotted Grove Street, Ballas, and C.R.A.S.H together along with the Green Saber which would raise some flags.
Cesar probably received information from other aztecas members which may probably include former vagos members who defected to the Aztecas
it was just to get you to do the missions to unlock different areas, mjust like GTA 2 you had to get so many points to get to the next district.
