If anyone played the GTA games (especially San Andreas), you come to notice there's these group of people in the GTA community who spread "myths" and "urban legends." Is anyone here get interested in them? Any favorite ones?

All trash, every last one of them. Clickbait for little children who unironically believe in this type of shit. Shitty low-res videos with x-files OST playing in the background with low-res FRAPS or HYPERCAM recordings of their modded game.

And of course the devs rather than simply putting an end to this fucking cancer type of "myth-hunting" by straight-up officially admitting that there isn't a single real myth in any GTA ever ever ever, they bite the bullet and add fucking ghosts and other garbage in GTA V to pander tto the shitty underage autists and clickbait myth hunters.

I think the urge to start myth hunting comes from the fact that certain parts of games seem strangely barren. So, on that, I can see why they would play into it. Not excusing it, mind you.

Oh yeah? Well, how about this - go to Leaper's Bridge in GTA IV at 1:23 AM and you'll find a blonde woman called (((Jill von Crastenburg))). She will only appear if the first bin on President Ave has this symbol on it though. If you approach her, not running but walking, with the knife drawn, she'll jump off the bridge (hence the name). Most people stop there, but if you jump immediately after her (again, without running), you will find yourself in an alternate portion of the game. I'm not giving everything away though, so try it for yourself.

Also, did anyone die because of this shit? I know that some dude got shot over a "slenderman prank", but I think SCP hasn't become that mainstream yet.

THIS IS A REAL STORY DONT READ IF YOU HAVE HEART ATTACK EASY OR CAN GET SUPER SCARED PLEASE

i was 7 yrs old and really liked video games so when i heard gta was getting a new game i was really exited because i loved gta vice city and tommy vicecity was my favorite character of the game. so one day i was just walking around and saw on a yar sale this boy was selling a copy of gta san andreas… but the cover was all black and under san andreas it said 666 in red numbers but i thought "its must be a joke this guy put to scare people" so i ask him how much he wanted and he says "SIX DOLLAR AND SIXTY SIOX" and i felt really bad on my skin like a worm was on it but i dont care because i really wanted to play the game. i give him the money and go home again put the cd in the ps2 and i noticed that ps2 makes this strange noice like cracking of bones but i dont notice too much and keep continue. the intro of the game dint play and then SUDDEN on the screan appears and image of cj but he was all black and had BLOOD COMING out of his eyes so I scream in scare and turn off the ps2 but the tv doesnt turn off so i take the game out and break it but the tv is still on and cj starts walking turns into a skeleton too i take off the plug but CJ is walking out of the tv and then he was completely turn to a complete skeleton and said "come with me" with a really creepy voice and I say "NO PLEASE CJ" and then he grabbed me by my leg and bite me but my dad came from the closet where he was hiding because he know all this happened and shot the skeleton cj with his gun and said "GO AWAY EVIL MONSTER LEAVE THIS HOUSE" and then the tv exploded and CJ soul went to heaven and the game turned to normal again

I miss this shit being viable. Now between lazy developers never including crazy easter eggs/weirdness, too much coverage, datamining, and general attitude it never happens.

Mostly play games to explore and these myths really added to that, especially when something like the heart in the statue of liberty happened and made it all seem plausible. Now its just 'No we checked the files theres no model or texture for it'.

No fucking mysteries allowed we need to know everything and quash rumors immediately. And if we don't lets make a low quality mod for it.

I can't even play open world games anymore because of this, I know everyone's explored the world and theres no good easter eggs to find or rumors to test. Theres no fun in it anymore.

My favorite was the 'UFO's that were the streaks in the sky at night.

That's a misconception actually. They're not actually made of sand, as such. They're actually a silicon-based organism. What this results in is a body that undergoes a different respiration reaction. If you have ever seen a woman's blood, you will notice that it is blue and not red. The reason behind this is that the blood contains copper hemoglobin and not iron hemoglobin. Copper does not react with silicon while iron does. The problem with silicon based organisms is that the body is not as efficient in using and conserving energy. This is why women tend to be both physically and mentally inferior to their male brethren. The advantage is that they 'ooze' an aurora that allows them to jump significantly higher than their male counterparts which is a distinct advantage in both escaping predators and acquiring sufficient oxygen in mosh pits. t. knower

It's not just GTA. The "transition era" (ie. the era of video games during the transition from 2D to 3D as the standard industry model, about 1995 to 2005) of video games was full of shit like this. It was the early days of the world wide web, and AAA 3D games weren't as "polished" yet and it was experimental as fuck. So games from this decade are often full of programming quirks and underused assets that make the game full of ambiguity. And the world wide web wasn't as well indexed back then so it was easy for people to post myths and come across as falling down a rabbit hole because this was before the era of "Deep analysis" YouTube commentators ruining the suspension of disbelief

sage because samefagging. I want to also re-iterate what I said by also pointing out that most of these ambiguity comes from the fact that 3D dev kits were still pretty shit back then. It wasn't until the late 2000s that game developers started getting the hang of their 3D game engines. That's also why we don't see "myths" in video games anymore.

I think game developers often try to re-create this era in video games by intentionally making their game world large and vague, games like Breath of the Wild for example, but it just doesn't fucking work anymore. I miss those days tbh

To be fair, all you had to do was memdump a cartridge to take a look at it.

Also, please consider that CRTs are flawed and display the image incorrectly. While they are likely what the developers saw, the image is stored internally as an RGBA byte array (or the equivalent, depending on hardware). Thus, CRTs were never accurate.

This is true. But while these tools did exist back then, there was jack shit documentation for these tools available online, so for the average pleb doing cart dumps was some esoteric wizardry. Today you can just fire up a YouTube video on a tutorial on how to search cart dumps. This shit didn't exist back then.

Youtube ruins everything. Spot on about BotW though, I remember seeing a few things that hit me of trying to be a myth from something like wind waker or OoT. Off the top of my head that blue spirit horse thing in the mountains that only appeared when the mountain had a glowing spot on it, and the master sword being hidden away with the contrived forest torch run to get to it. You can just see this being on an old forum like

'To get the spirit horse, the fastest horse in the game with infinite stamina wait away from Satori mountain at night until you see a glowing light. Then glide over to the light, make sure its still night time and you'll see the horse. Put on your best stealth gear and walk up slowly to it then you can ride it. Just be careful as soon as you get off it'll disappear'

I remember playing San Andreas for the PS2 when I was about 12 years old or so. I first heard about these myths when looking up easter eggs for the game online. Back then, Youtube wasn't a thing or it hadn't taken off so the only other info I had to go on was user-posted guides on forums and google-images.

Given the abundance of actual easter eggs in the game and spooky locations in the middle of fucking nowhere, it wasn't hard to believe there could actually be something to a lot of these myths. Pic related, for example. It's just a cabin out in the middle of the woods with no missions or anything related to it, yet it's enterable unlike 99% of all other buildings in the game.

There was some other stuff in the game too which just fed into the whole concept, like those cars pictured in the OP. They would spawn in a slope and then roll towards you if you come running through the area, so they essentially became known as "ghost cars" to players.

So yeah, I ran around chasing shadows of Leatherface, Bigfoot and all manners of ghosts in that game for hours and hours and I don't regret shit. Would I do it today? Fuck no, but it was fun as hell for a kid with a vivid imagination.

Honestly, I kind of cherish this stuff. It's back from a time when a video game would still give you a sense of adventure, rather than having everything broken down by Jewtuber and the knowledge that everything which happens on screen is a result on scripts which the developer made for one reason or the other.

If game devs made more effort to hide stuff in or make another reason to explore like the system used in far cry 2 then you could just explore and find a old train half-buried off the map or actual easter eggs instead of just going on a marker on the map. Far Cry 2 had such a great system of putting diamonds close to landmarks on the map yet you didn't know wich had some until you visited so you had to visit all if not most of them which has even more weigh in harder difficulties as you don't know if you will be ambushed or find nothing. For anyone that hasn't played, diamonds are the currency as well as the most common collectible. The check point system was cool as well and really added to the atmosphere of hostility though the instant respawn gets really annoying on the hardest difficulty on some parts

It would be so cool to be able to find stuff like that in open-world games, but that will never happen due to lazy devs, reddit existing, none of the kiddies being smart enough to try and find something by themselves instead of *go to the bright yellow marker*.

It's true. It's easy to forget how different things were back in, say, pre-2007.

I think that year is a wonderful landmark. Not in the sense that it was "good", but because it was iconic with the jewish shit becoming full force and ramping up every consecutive year. It's a clear divide between the "before" and "after" of vidya.

That's what happens when you engage CJ's stealth mode, you colossal moron. The arrow on your map will turn a dark shade of grey to signify this. It's easier to encounter when you install a timecyc with darker colors, as the game thinks dark = shadow, therefore stealth.

Well there was one quite funny time when we just had a point of realisation. We had hand drawn maps of house interiors figuring out escape routes and ways to stop the police from entering.

Shit anon you're actually quoting one of our meetings. I think the funniest meeting we had was when for a solid hour we devised a conspiracy which ended up having the local Mafia spiral into a civil war whilst getting the deputy chief of police fired due to corruption.

The entire plan took a solid 4 weeks of ig fuckery to pull off but in the end it looked beautiful. It involved: blackmailing an FBI agent, stealing explosives from a high security company depo, three court cases, a kidnapping, murder of an LEO, gun running for a DEO, domestic terrorism, and a property insurance scam. In all honesty SAMP RP can and will turn into action movie plots if you're willing to put the time into them. There was also another time when we had been paid $250,000 to kill the local Chief of Police which ended up with us starting a riot and pouring gasoline through a disabled water tank's A/C system before burning him alive inside the tank.

Another bit of fun we had was when gay marriage was legalised and so they had set up a gay marriage at the local church. However this church was a Catholic one so it ended up with a bunch of Irish and Italians refusing to let them inside the church and flipping cars before the police had everyone disperse. They then decided to host the marriage in the Protestant church so the Catholics then proceeded to either tow, steal the tires, and thermite engine blocks of all the cars of the attendance. We really did have fun
