I never interpreted the OG Loc prison situation as him being assaulted, I always saw it as him having a "companion" in prison and not wanting the other guy to say things about it outside
He was assaulted! If you remember the dialogue between the two, he told O.G. Loc, "You dropped the soap sugar. I don't know anything about any rhymes!" And if you know about the stories in prison about inmates dropping the soap, you already know what happened next! Jeffrey, I mean, "O.G. Loc" probably liked it and became his partner after that. 😂😂😂
To level up weapon skills, you actually need to shoot and hit something that takes actual damage... my trick was to park a vehicle in my garage, open the garage door, shoot the car until it catches fire, step back to close the door, thus refreshing the car to factory new, and repeat ad nauseum
In the mission, where Sweet tries to negotiate with the other Families before the police crash the place, there is an injured Grove Street member that tells CJ what happened. This character is immortal, so you can shoot him until you run out of ammo, and it will register as a hit. That's how I level up the early weapons.
30:40 I always interpeted this scene as Loc having relations with a man in jail and being teased for being gay by his "friends" and then helping Loc kill the guy to keep it secret
"You dropped the soap sugar. I don't know anything about any rhymes!" That doesn't sound like a willing participant to me. It sounds like Jeffrey was r*ped!
That's absolutely what it's going on. But this dude is too busy virtue signalling and trying to seem morally superior, so shhhhhh, let him be extremely ignorant in the name of political correctness. It'll only make him look as much a fool as he is.
@@Doc312-hr1od Yeah, he's "deadass". I honestly thought the same though. However knew that'd be messed up for all the damn money I spent on low rider customizations 😂
You know what's funny? The only reason why I knew that is because the same thing applies to GTA III. A game that I didn't play until AFTER the first time I played San Andreas 🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣
1:15:00 Carl got so frustrated after Smoke and Ryder's betrayal that he shot the wall in anger then got hit by a car because he forgot to look both ways since he was so upset. Be careful of your surroundings even if your homies stab you in the back. 😂 Love when you put long videos like that, bro. Keep it up!
These kinds of videos always pop up when I least expect it. And even tho I’ve heard everything there is to say about this game - it takes special content creators to make me relive this game the same way I did back in the PS2 days. Well done.
In the words of Preston garvey, I dont know who you are but your timing’s impeccable. I have been on the search for some longer videos to watch and well, here you happen to be in my recommended. Absolutely great video here, can't wait to check out the rest of your content, definitely earned a sub
I never noticed how rushed the game seemed once you leave los santos. I always felt like there was a decline in quality but you pointed out things that never stuck out to me.
San andreas will always be a masterpiece for me but i cant imagine how much better it would be if it was given another year of development and the final stretch of the game had the same quality as the beggining
14:33 This is a cultural oversight on your part. CJ's haircut may be short, but he is lacking a hairstyle. Something very important in the African American community. The reason while Ryder has longer hair and it isn't commented on is because Ryder has a Jheri Curl hairstyle. It was a popular style in the 80s-early 90s and is very difficult to maintain thus looked at with reverence. He is modeled after Eazy-E who had the same hairstyle. Due to graphical limitations you cannot see his curls. You can see it in character art however.
31:17 the joke was not that he was assaulted, there something in jail culture called "g*y for the stay". where you're kinda just someones bitch in jail because you cant defend yourself, but you're back normal when you come back out. that's why cj and smoke were leaning into him at the end and he went "I keep it real, unlike you fake ass mother-fuckers" when CJ asked if he was lonely in jail. Furthered by the fact that og loc pretty much runs for 75% of his "boss fight" if you can call it that.
I'm sure it's mentioned here somewhere, but when your personal cars despawn, you can get them back from the impound if you go fairly directly after it disappears.
In the video,i think i saw a tutorial hint pop up that says the same thing after the car is gone. `Your car have been impounded..bla bla bla something like that'
1:15:47 Rydyer and CJ's relationship is like that one friend you have who's always giving you crap but for shits and giggles, compared to CJ's always serious, down to earth, businessman esque tone.
A well-made explanation and kinda sorted out telling, mate! Really pleasant for me to get listened to. Especially when you threw a gesture of respect towards the ones who kept supporting you all along, though paying them a good homage.
30:40 sorry but I highly disagree. Not only does it not imply he was assaulted at all, more like it was something he's embarrassed about. But you lost me after you said "I don't find it funny at all, and neither should you" why not? Humor is subjective. Why should I not find it funny simply because you don't? You aren't an authority on humor. People are allowed to laugh at things they find funny just as they don't laugh at things they don't find funny

14:30 it's unstyled. Ryder's hair is long, but it's supposed to be a jherri curl. Ryder is exhorting CJ to get his hair styled. 2:55:25 I can't recall how, but I remember there was a guide that told you how you could nab this vehicle from the mission, so I had free use of this beast. It was fun.
When we say we need a haircut we mean that it doesn’t look fresh and clean. We get a fade, line up, and maybe a fancy pattern cut into our short hairstyles. But we’ll say something similar to someone with hair if they need a lineup
2:17:55 Fun fact: There's a way for you to get Millie''s keycard faster than the usual date if you dont want to resort to killing her. Make sure you have the gimp suit on, and go on dates with her. It just goes straight to the hot coffee and boosts the meter way faster. Then save the game until its time for you to date her again. And do that on repeat several times. You can make this process much faster if you buy the safe house near her house.
To speak on how good it is as a map. There's a drive in movie theater in a small town in the Nevada portion that I bet most of you have never seen. It's a cool vibe and another example of what was discussed around 3:09:30 how it always feels like he's noticing something new.
I never liked the theory that Ryder was never supposed to betray. He was loyal to GSF initially but he was the drug addict and therefore could be easily manipulated by Smoke and CRASH. His betrayal makes sense to me
It still makes no sense why they barely acknowledge his existence and his role being reduced to just being an irrelevant minor antagonist is redundant and bad writing
I put countless hours into this game on the PS2. From about 17 years old to 19 years old. I used cheats, of course. I lived in San Andreas for 2 years. What a game!!!! I've got it on Switch. I'm playing through it without cheats this go around. "All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ"! Something I never seen anyone do in the beginning of the game is, beat up the pizza guy and collect the shotgun....makes cleaning up the drug dens a little more dramatic! Lol I don't think I ever completed all the gf's. But, I am pretty sure I completed the game. I could talk about this game for hours.
@ppmch on all the gta games, I mainly listened to the talk radio. It changes as you progress through the game. "Man, the feeling in the locker room...I mean...shoes were going on feet...shirts were going on the shirt part of the body..." lol or, "gardening with Maurice". Lol good stuff! If you go back and listen now, that talk radio show predicted stuff or was way ahead of its time.
Always thought LB was ryder accidentally revealing his affiliation with the ballas with LB meaning Little balla but it being a reference to the producer/creator makes sense too
@@HurrikaneBEA5Ti don’t know if you’ve heard but i don’t think it was the initial plan for Ryder to be affiliated with the Ballas. the VA left mid-game, which is probably why they just decided to kill him off.
@@kxndelaan interview with the VA actually goes against that theory. He said everything was already written for Ryder and it was just about recording the lines. According to him, no changes were made. Idk if it’s true but it’s an interesting cuz I feel like his story made sense. It just lacked more moments of him being in the game.
1:38:30 i like to think the construction company was so absurdly intimidated to learn the guy who owns the rinky dink old gas station suddenly murdered the entire construction company, blew up several expensive trailers, used their construction equipment to push him into a hole burying him with crap, and then left a clear trail of blood back to his headquarters that they decided that it wasn't worth finishing the contract. Would you want to call the cops on someone who has proven they are a bulletproof menace to society? I wouldn't call the cops on that level of monster unless i was armed and armored. That or maybe the construction company owned the land and the guy you buried is the company owner, which could in theory tie the company up in court for several years.
I always considered the Savanna, ZR-350, and Vincent to be Carl's main rides, Savanna because it's given to him and considering the gangsta culture appreciates Lowriders, it wouldn't be a stretch to say Carl would sought after his Savanna The ZR-350 because it is his prize car that he did actually cared about, especially in the cutscene where Catalina smashed it, and I figured he would bring the car around with him even through San Fierro and Las Vanturas, with the Savanna being stuck in the Grove Street garage The Vincent because it seem like a luxury executive car that Carl would drive given his position as manager or producer for Mad Dogg
the reason CJ does all those vile things for Jeffry (OG LOC) is because he hates Ryder and Sweet calling him a "Buster" and is determined to prove them both wrong by any means possible 2:18:07 in other words you lack the skill to do it the long way
45:00 Where was the arresting cop? I'm pretty sure this was a rare case of "wrong car busted" where the cop went to the Sentinel you were previously in, and then just busted the empty vehicle.
2:07:05 Bayside! An underrated town I have spent many a days in. My only wish is there was a safe house you could purchase there. Beautiful place! A vortex spawns here aswell
13:52 not an LA native but i literally saw a car that looked like Mors Mutual needed to pick that bitch up. it like literally exploded and was just left on the side of the street
Save icon in Dogg's mansion causes a bug that removes all basketballs from the map thus making the basketball minigame unplayable if you ever saved there. Using the silent patch it moves the save icon down a corridor in a room the left. You didn't explore at all and isn't hard to find at all. Its litteraly right there.
2:31:03 the reason for this is that when you attack the first of the three ambulances, the game swaps out the paramedics in one of the remaining ambulances to mafia goons. But the game forgets to give them driving AI. I suspect they did this to prevent you from knowing which of the three is the correct one to go for first on repeat playthroughs as a “correct” one doesn’t exist until you find a “wrong” one first. But you can use this to always find the correct one on the second ambulance checked by looking at the map to see which one isn’t moving.
1:41:35 I believe supply lines has just gotten easier as we've gotten older, I don't believe it was the emulator you used. Went back and played the original ps2 version on original hardware about a year ago, and I had 0 issues with it as well. I also remember the timer being much tighter and it being much easier to blow up. I think my kid brain just didn't know how to fly though, it took me months as a kid to pass flight school, so it may make sense that this would have been worse in such a light plane. I think my adult brain just comprehends flight controls better lol
It is funny that they give you a mission asking you to control the fiddliest flying vehicle in the game and shoot at targets with relatively little health and limited fuel before you even get the tutorial on how flying actually works.
Using the flamethrower for burning the weed always annoyed me, I remember planting satchel charges all over field instead this destroys the whole crop with one button press 🤣
@ Yess I tried it on a whim one day coz the mission was annoying me it’s bloody 🤣 ,it works on the original ps2 version at least I’m unsure about other versions results may vary lol. If you get a chance try it out though let me know if it works on your version 😆, now they’ve updated the definitive edition I may go back and finish it. Last time playing it my game got sort of soft locked at the triad airport mission 🤦🏻♂️
Your story for how you started Vice City is the same as mine lmao. My neighbor friend had it and we gamed all the time taking turns and then san andreas dropped and that was the most mind blowing thing ever. Games couldnt get better than that at the time.
Recently played through the DE trilogy on XBSX, really enjoyed the trip down memory lane and watching your vids once i'd completed each of them in order.
insane ai shooting skills in gta san andreas are mostly the effect of entering a spot in a vehicle. since you are mostly covered in a regular car the game just intensify the accuracy of the ai targeting you with guns. otherwise they would not hit you at all when sitting in a car. the trick is to activate the cutscene on foot. if you DRIVE towards the trigger and activate the scene the game still thinks you are in the car even if you exit the car afterwards. it somewhat forgets to delete the (sitting in car status). some speedrunners mentioned it on speedruns of gta sa!
3:04:43 GTA IV in terms of real size is actually smaller than San Andreas. Though it's not by a lot and given its a state vs a city, IV feels larger. V though is much bigger. Nice vid BTW :)
50:55 It's not that they don't like Loc, it's that they never thought he was suited for the gangster life, they wanted him to go to college, make a life for himself outside the Grove. What CJ's doing is giving Loc a Rap career, something non-violent.
"CJ doesnt explain how making money will get sweet out of prison" This is America, my friend. You can pay your way out of anything. Just ask epstiens clients. Oh right, we "dont know" who they were.
Your burglary experience when you were younger is cracking me up. I actually never did it until years of playing the game because I always assumed the van it showed near B-Dups place after the Ryder mission was just an example of the van and that it would never actually spawn there, so I never looked. To this day I still can’t believe it just spawns there 😂😂
@@theworldisimmenseso in other words he did all the work but you want all the credit lmao? Hahah sounds like you did nothing. Infact i bet you're not even involved at all. This dude probably has no idea ego you are, and edits his own videos. Infact, i know he does. Why are you here pretending to be part of this hahahahahaha
i always thought that big smoke was just ordering what everyone in the car ordered because i thought the joke was he’s having 4 peoples worth of food lol
I've never killed Freddy during the chase, he's always too far in front and doesn't die from my shots. And CJ helps O.G Loc to make him shut up and not bother him personally... What always confused me about Claude and Catalina is how they met in San Andreas in 1992 then "broke up" in 2001... how the hell did they stay together for 9 years? I guess they had an on-again off-again relationship
@@AgentDanielCrossor better yet, Claude is a mute. He doesn’t really have great social skills, so the idea that he was never really perceived to be a cheater. I mean Claude stayed loyal to her until she betrayed him. CJ on the other hand is a womanizer. Denise is the storyline forced girlfriend, but technically CJ could have another girlfriend at that point (optional). So this is what drives Catalina mad.
I always made CJ a mega multimillionaire before leaving Los Santos. I would gain $100,000 by driving around looking for the drug dealers in Families territories, and taking them out, gaining $2,000 from each dispatched dealer. Next, I would save the game at the safehouse near Glen Park, and then go to the betting shop a few blocks away (right across the street from the same parking lot where Sweet gets wounded and arrested). I always made the maximum bet (which is $9,999,995, once you've gained millions) on the green horse, the 12/1 or 11/1 underdog; if he lost, I'd reload the game, and try again until I won; if he won, I would save the game and repeat this until CJ had about $500,000,000. Only then would I go to Sweet for the Green Sabre mission. Now I could purchase every property available for purchase on the map.
OG loc dog was never assaulted. He was a willing participant, so he was in a gay relationship in prison. So when He got out He didn't want the word to get out that he was homosexual To any of the Grove Street family Because he figured that they would clown him, which is ironic, because they already think of him as a clown. Which made everything that much more funny Go back and play the game and you will see what i'm saying
Quadbikes are cool, because when you do the flying car cheat. It applies to the quad bike. If you put on "all cars have nitro" Again it works on the quad bike. Having a flying nitro quad bike is pretty wild
2:15:24 So, on the second question if you reply negatively, Carl just says that he didn't know that reproducing the plans wasn't allowed, and then there's a minor joke about not wanting to be party to a casino raid. 2:18:49 The whole dam thing never really bothered me, since Carl isn't planting any explosives on the structure, just the generator machinery.
the first race with woozie is very easy if you use a car like the buffalo, but in the second you're forced to use that sports car that has terrible grip and easily flips over, as a kid I had so much trouble with that mission
Honestly, the arcade game is the perfect kind of thing to either get an achievement or to unlock cosmetics. Getting a shirt or a car paint from these kind of minigames wasn't too uncommon.
What's an interesting theory I heard during the Drive Thru mission (and also an early possible indicator that Smoke was a traitor) was that when he was making that massive order, it wasn't him being fat, but rather it was to buy the Ballas time to get to their them and try to kill Sweet and CJ in a drive by. Smoke recommended the resturant and the Ballas knew exactly where they'd be at. Dude was buying the hit squad time to get the job done.
Even though Smoke doesn't order all that food for himself, he ends up eating at least most of Ryder's meal and possibly some Sweet's as well. I don't think CJ ever got his which Smoke probably also ate. So really, Smoke ended up eating most if not all of that order. At least that's my head cannon anyway.
1:16:30 as funny as that was, i think CJ was angry/desperate because he just found out the ballas were behind the passing of his mother and that sweet was probably on deaths door and all he could do was unleash his rage...
I left UA-cam on when I fell asleep and woke up to this video playing, while I was watching I jokingly said to myself “Damn, i thought this was a FuzzySlippers video.” checked who it was by and said “Damn! This really isn’t a FuzzySlippers video!” They do very similar long form playthrough videos of GTA games.
Love Caesar he was a real one. Yeah he was dating your sister, but big smoking on with your Homies and caesar was more real them and he was in a rival gang. just shows enemies aren’t really enemies it’s always the people closest to you. GTA been teaching me lessons. I didn’t even notice until I got older.
Catalina in this game reminds me of my mom, I told her that once after she played the game and she got pissed, had to tell her I meant it in a good way.
36:45 dude i had the same problem and could never find the road, but i figured out how to get to the mountain overlooking his house so i would careen the van off the side of the cliff near his house and hope it survived. Which in hind site, pretty stupid.
2:44:17 the save icon for madd doggs mansion probably has been removed with one of the fixes mods since having the save icon there will disable basketball in the entire game once you saved there as far as i can remember since the save icon appears to be too close to a basketball court, which is located in the mansion
I never interpreted the OG Loc prison situation as him being assaulted, I always saw it as him having a "companion" in prison and not wanting the other guy to say things about it outside
Me too. I thought they were a prison couple. To be honest, I though this was pretty apparent by what the other character was saying.
This is the case. Honestly it sounds like loc was the top and the other dude was the bend-ee
Same
I remember them being a couple!
He was assaulted! If you remember the dialogue between the two, he told O.G. Loc, "You dropped the soap sugar. I don't know anything about any rhymes!"

When you show up wearing the suit it’s like 10% meter each time you should be able to get the keycard in about 3-4 dates
I took her on 3 the 3rd one wearing the gimp and got it
you don't need to do all that you can get the key card in just 3 successful dates
ya be thinking way too hard about these easy ass missions
all the questions this guy asks just screams "I have never been within 15 miles of any inner city" and i won't pretend otherwise
Literally thought the same thing. I live on the edge of the suburbs so I get plenty of “hood” experiences. But this is literally just black culture.
Can we please talk about how monumentally witty the Flight of 87 joke was? Nobody seems to be mentioning it
My fav game of all time, watched all 3 hours while at work xdd
Definitely love this kind of video. Need more! Feed me more!
Plenty more to come very soon so you're in luck
Happy to hear!
This is great.
Especially that dude who got hit by a train after you crashed into him.
To speak on how good it is as a map. There's a drive in movie theater in a small town in the Nevada portion that I bet most of you have never seen. It's a cool vibe and another example of what was discussed around 3:09:30 how it always feels like he's noticing something new.
I never liked the theory that Ryder was never supposed to betray. He was loyal to GSF initially but he was the drug addict and therefore could be easily manipulated by Smoke and CRASH. His betrayal makes sense to me
It still makes no sense why they barely acknowledge his existence and his role being reduced to just being an irrelevant minor antagonist is redundant and bad writing
I put countless hours into this game on the PS2. From about 17 years old to 19 years old. I used cheats, of course. I lived in San Andreas for 2 years. What a game!!!! I've got it on Switch. I'm playing through it without cheats this go around. "All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ"! Something I never seen anyone do in the beginning of the game is, beat up the pizza guy and collect the shotgun....makes cleaning up the drug dens a little more dramatic! Lol I don't think I ever completed all the gf's. But, I am pretty sure I completed the game. I could talk about this game for hours.
@@Mr.Peanut1986 did you pay attention to the radio shows? How did you find them at 17? I loved them in middle school
@ppmch on all the gta games, I mainly listened to the talk radio. It changes as you progress through the game. "Man, the feeling in the locker room...I mean...shoes were going on feet...shirts were going on the shirt part of the body..." lol or, "gardening with Maurice". Lol good stuff! If you go back and listen now, that talk radio show predicted stuff or was way ahead of its time.
Always thought LB was ryder accidentally revealing his affiliation with the ballas with LB meaning Little balla but it being a reference to the producer/creator makes sense too
That's quite a reach don't you think? It's just an initial. Not every b in the game stand for Ballas
@@chicken1443 because of how the story is shaping,its not a reach and technically true because he wound up hanging with them
@@HurrikaneBEA5T The reach is the claim that they're connected
@@HurrikaneBEA5Ti don’t know if you’ve heard but i don’t think it was the initial plan for Ryder to be affiliated with the Ballas. the VA left mid-game, which is probably why they just decided to kill him off.
@@kxndelaan interview with the VA actually goes against that theory. He said everything was already written for Ryder and it was just about recording the lines. According to him, no changes were made. Idk if it’s true but it’s an interesting cuz I feel like his story made sense. It just lacked more moments of him being in the game.
1:38:30 i like to think the construction company was so absurdly intimidated to learn the guy who owns the rinky dink old gas station suddenly murdered the entire construction company, blew up several expensive trailers, used their construction equipment to push him into a hole burying him with crap, and then left a clear trail of blood back to his headquarters that they decided that it wasn't worth finishing the contract. Would you want to call the cops on someone who has proven they are a bulletproof menace to society? I wouldn't call the cops on that level of monster unless i was armed and armored.
That or maybe the construction company owned the land and the guy you buried is the company owner, which could in theory tie the company up in court for several years.
If that is the case, then he is still alive as they later saved him
I always considered the Savanna, ZR-350, and Vincent to be Carl's main rides, Savanna because it's given to him and considering the gangsta culture appreciates Lowriders, it wouldn't be a stretch to say Carl would sought after his Savanna
The ZR-350 because it is his prize car that he did actually cared about, especially in the cutscene where Catalina smashed it, and I figured he would bring the car around with him even through San Fierro and Las Vanturas, with the Savanna being stuck in the Grove Street garage
The Vincent because it seem like a luxury executive car that Carl would drive given his position as manager or producer for Mad Dogg
Miles Garrett is one of us LOL 0:27
the reason CJ does all those vile things for Jeffry (OG LOC) is because he hates Ryder and Sweet calling him a "Buster" and is determined to prove them both wrong by any means possible
2:18:07 in other words you lack the skill to do it the long way
word cause all it takes is 3 successful dates
This pizza parlor's no pushover!!!
Loved the commentary over the gameplay, great video once again GWG.
bala is also spanish for bullets, balas being plural form. i think it’s unlikely that’s the origin of the name but it’s a cool idea.
Seems likely to me, and legit.
45:00 Where was the arresting cop? I'm pretty sure this was a rare case of "wrong car busted" where the cop went to the Sentinel you were previously in, and then just busted the empty vehicle.
I actually naturally got my lung capacity up as a kid I loved being able to swim so much I fucked around forever by the LS pier lol
2:07:05 Bayside! An underrated town I have spent many a days in. My only wish is there was a safe house you could purchase there. Beautiful place! A vortex spawns here aswell
24:52 I swear I heard "Freaks out thinking about to pull another bite of 87" LLAMAOMAOAGMAOMOA HGAHAHA good video man!
We need a mission-by-mission video of all the rest of the 3D era GTA’s next
13:52 not an LA native but i literally saw a car that looked like Mors Mutual needed to pick that bitch up. it like literally exploded and was just left on the side of the street
Save icon in Dogg's mansion causes a bug that removes all basketballs from the map thus making the basketball minigame unplayable if you ever saved there.
Using the silent patch it moves the save icon down a corridor in a room the left. You didn't explore at all and isn't hard to find at all. Its litteraly right there.
I WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO.DUDE REALLY LOVED IT,I'VE COMPLETED THIS GAME FOR LIKE 8-9 TIMES AND THIS WAS REALLY NOSTALGIc
2:31:03 the reason for this is that when you attack the first of the three ambulances, the game swaps out the paramedics in one of the remaining ambulances to mafia goons. But the game forgets to give them driving AI. I suspect they did this to prevent you from knowing which of the three is the correct one to go for first on repeat playthroughs as a “correct” one doesn’t exist until you find a “wrong” one first. But you can use this to always find the correct one on the second ambulance checked by looking at the map to see which one isn’t moving.
yeah you earned a new follower 😭😭 not only are you hilarious but your deep dive is really interesting ! i’m going to binge your videos now lmao😅😅
just coming across your content. i think it’s outstanding. enjoy your videos
1:41:35 I believe supply lines has just gotten easier as we've gotten older, I don't believe it was the emulator you used. Went back and played the original ps2 version on original hardware about a year ago, and I had 0 issues with it as well. I also remember the timer being much tighter and it being much easier to blow up. I think my kid brain just didn't know how to fly though, it took me months as a kid to pass flight school, so it may make sense that this would have been worse in such a light plane. I think my adult brain just comprehends flight controls better lol
It is funny that they give you a mission asking you to control the fiddliest flying vehicle in the game and shoot at targets with relatively little health and limited fuel before you even get the tutorial on how flying actually works.
Using the flamethrower for burning the weed always annoyed me, I remember planting satchel charges all over field instead this destroys the whole crop with one button press 🤣
That works?
@
Yess I tried it on a whim one day coz the mission was annoying me it’s bloody 🤣 ,it works on the original ps2 version at least I’m unsure about other versions results may vary lol.
If you get a chance try it out though let me know if it works on your version 😆, now they’ve updated the definitive edition I may go back and finish it.
Last time playing it my game got sort of soft locked at the triad airport mission 🤦🏻♂️
Your story for how you started Vice City is the same as mine lmao. My neighbor friend had it and we gamed all the time taking turns and then san andreas dropped and that was the most mind blowing thing ever. Games couldnt get better than that at the time.
Recently played through the DE trilogy on XBSX, really enjoyed the trip down memory lane and watching your vids once i'd completed each of them in order.
insane ai shooting skills in gta san andreas are mostly the effect of entering a spot in a vehicle. since you are mostly covered in a regular car the game just intensify the accuracy of the ai targeting you with guns. otherwise they would not hit you at all when sitting in a car. the trick is to activate the cutscene on foot. if you DRIVE towards the trigger and activate the scene the game still thinks you are in the car even if you exit the car afterwards.
it somewhat forgets to delete the (sitting in car status).
some speedrunners mentioned it on speedruns of gta sa!
Nice tip!
3:04:43 GTA IV in terms of real size is actually smaller than San Andreas. Though it's not by a lot and given its a state vs a city, IV feels larger.
V though is much bigger.
Nice vid BTW :)
50:55 It's not that they don't like Loc, it's that they never thought he was suited for the gangster life, they wanted him to go to college, make a life for himself outside the Grove. What CJ's doing is giving Loc a Rap career, something non-violent.
"CJ doesnt explain how making money will get sweet out of prison"
This is America, my friend. You can pay your way out of anything. Just ask epstiens clients. Oh right, we "dont know" who they were.
Your burglary experience when you were younger is cracking me up. I actually never did it until years of playing the game because I always assumed the van it showed near B-Dups place after the Ryder mission was just an example of the van and that it would never actually spawn there, so I never looked. To this day I still can’t believe it just spawns there 😂😂
you deserve so so so many views for this, this video must've taken so much effort
Definitely , I’m the Obed who helped with the editing but he put all his voice
@@theworldisimmenseso in other words he did all the work but you want all the credit lmao? Hahah sounds like you did nothing.
Infact i bet you're not even involved at all. This dude probably has no idea ego you are, and edits his own videos. Infact, i know he does. Why are you here pretending to be part of this hahahahahaha
Imagine being this pressed 😂
55:55, your personal car never disappear! It woulb be located in the impound garage of the police station!!!
This is an awesome series im glad i found it!
51:16 Rockstar messed this up by putting "the prequel" a 30 minute machinima, on the special edition disk
I swear I remember being able to do the "spicy" mini game on my original copy of San andreas back on my old ps2.
It can be done with a game shark
Can someone tell him that if his vehicle disappears he can pick it up at the police impound.
i always thought that big smoke was just ordering what everyone in the car ordered because i thought the joke was he’s having 4 peoples worth of food lol
49:15 Man said save your bullet for the bikes when you have unlimited ammunition for the mission 😂
I've never killed Freddy during the chase, he's always too far in front and doesn't die from my shots. And CJ helps O.G Loc to make him shut up and not bother him personally...
What always confused me about Claude and Catalina is how they met in San Andreas in 1992 then "broke up" in 2001... how the hell did they stay together for 9 years? I guess they had an on-again off-again relationship
Or maybe Claude was the only one that was patient enough to tolerate it, or might be even more crazy
@@AgentDanielCrossor better yet, Claude is a mute. He doesn’t really have great social skills, so the idea that he was never really perceived to be a cheater. I mean Claude stayed loyal to her until she betrayed him. CJ on the other hand is a womanizer. Denise is the storyline forced girlfriend, but technically CJ could have another girlfriend at that point (optional). So this is what drives Catalina mad.
I always made CJ a mega multimillionaire before leaving Los Santos. I would gain $100,000 by driving around looking for the drug dealers in Families territories, and taking them out, gaining $2,000 from each dispatched dealer. Next, I would save the game at the safehouse near Glen Park, and then go to the betting shop a few blocks away (right across the street from the same parking lot where Sweet gets wounded and arrested). I always made the maximum bet (which is $9,999,995, once you've gained millions) on the green horse, the 12/1 or 11/1 underdog; if he lost, I'd reload the game, and try again until I won; if he won, I would save the game and repeat this until CJ had about $500,000,000. Only then would I go to Sweet for the Green Sabre mission. Now I could purchase every property available for purchase on the map.
I fond it more funny to struggle with cash as you go, being forced to engage with one of the many side activities when you absolutely need cash.
Thanks i really enjoyed this watch
48:18 "Trouble with the trolley, eh?" -Big Smoke
loc wasnt assaulted, he had prison sex and was trying to cover it up
OG loc dog was never assaulted. He was a willing participant, so he was in a gay relationship in prison. So when He got out He didn't want the word to get out that he was homosexual To any of the Grove Street family Because he figured that they would clown him, which is ironic, because they already think of him as a clown. Which made everything that much more funny Go back and play the game and you will see what i'm saying
This game is still a classic
Quadbikes are cool, because when you do the flying car cheat. It applies to the quad bike. If you put on "all cars have nitro"
Again it works on the quad bike.
Having a flying nitro quad bike is pretty wild
LA native here. Can confirm, stripped-down vehicles are niche lawn ornaments in less well-off neighborhoods.
"Most my memories are with Vice City and 4" well now I understand your bias
He put that there so you wouldn’t get pissy about his opinions of a toy
2:15:24 So, on the second question if you reply negatively, Carl just says that he didn't know that reproducing the plans wasn't allowed, and then there's a minor joke about not wanting to be party to a casino raid.
2:18:49 The whole dam thing never really bothered me, since Carl isn't planting any explosives on the structure, just the generator machinery.
13:46 Cybertruck early Concept.
the first race with woozie is very easy if you use a car like the buffalo, but in the second you're forced to use that sports car that has terrible grip and easily flips over, as a kid I had so much trouble with that mission
22:25 actually you do have to shoot something, but it does work when you shoot vehicles so it should suffice
Honestly, the arcade game is the perfect kind of thing to either get an achievement or to unlock cosmetics. Getting a shirt or a car paint from these kind of minigames wasn't too uncommon.
What's an interesting theory I heard during the Drive Thru mission (and also an early possible indicator that Smoke was a traitor) was that when he was making that massive order, it wasn't him being fat, but rather it was to buy the Ballas time to get to their them and try to kill Sweet and CJ in a drive by.
Smoke recommended the resturant and the Ballas knew exactly where they'd be at. Dude was buying the hit squad time to get the job done.
GTA San Andreas is the goat of GTA games
Even though Smoke doesn't order all that food for himself, he ends up eating at least most of Ryder's meal and possibly some Sweet's as well. I don't think CJ ever got his which Smoke probably also ate. So really, Smoke ended up eating most if not all of that order. At least that's my head cannon anyway.
1:16:30 as funny as that was, i think CJ was angry/desperate because he just found out the ballas were behind the passing of his mother and that sweet was probably on deaths door and all he could do was unleash his rage...
1:55:00 You can blow up his car before going in and make it a lot easier
I left UA-cam on when I fell asleep and woke up to this video playing, while I was watching I jokingly said to myself “Damn, i thought this was a FuzzySlippers video.” checked who it was by and said “Damn! This really isn’t a FuzzySlippers video!” They do very similar long form playthrough videos of GTA games.
The fact that there is a Hearts of Iron 4 mod to make it GTA San Andreas is just incredible
Love Caesar he was a real one. Yeah he was dating your sister, but big smoking on with your Homies and caesar was more real them and he was in a rival gang. just shows enemies aren’t really enemies it’s always the people closest to you. GTA been teaching me lessons. I didn’t even notice until I got older.
Catalina in this game reminds me of my mom, I told her that once after she played the game and she got pissed, had to tell her I meant it in a good way.
Catalina is a sociopathic murderer who has violent sex 😂 and you compared the character to your mum in a positive light?
36:45 dude i had the same problem and could never find the road, but i figured out how to get to the mountain overlooking his house so i would careen the van off the side of the cliff near his house and hope it survived. Which in hind site, pretty stupid.
2:44:17 the save icon for madd doggs mansion probably has been removed with one of the fixes mods since having the save icon there will disable basketball in the entire game once you saved there as far as i can remember since the save icon appears to be too close to a basketball court, which is located in the mansion
11:30, 11:38 - repetition.
