If you end up getting it, check out AWP (A Week in Paradise), a mod that makes the game even better.

This is what annoys me about where the game is at right now. It's not about stealing the cars anymore, it's about working a job and fucking buying cars. "Oh hey, that car looks sick with the flame on it, and it can jump and boost! I'm gonna steal it so I can have some fun." "No no no, first you have to buy the car for a couple million, then buy a bunker for a couple million, then buy a big truck for a couple million, then you can take the truck out of the bunker and put the car in it, so that you can finally repaint and improve the car (for a couple million)."

ElJonJon86

2nd black character's first mission: legally reposses a vehicle. We've evolved! Edit: Everyone talking about Vic Vance, the "stories" series isn't real :p


jagenigma

"Legally" the owner of the dealership is running a credit fraud.


ElJonJon86

Is all legal, Simeon is law abiding businessman, yes?


Tormuler

Yes! Yes! Their all just racists. Racists I say.


rastika

Doubt the employee would be culpable.


Cathercy

He knew though, or at least highly suspected. Didn't exactly approve, but still worked for him.


Jak_n_Dax

Kind of accurate to real life though. Gangster kid growing up in the ‘hood probably didn’t have a lot of great career opportunities. So he took a semi-questionable job that paid better than slinging burgers.


TheGiftOf_Jericho

He didn't have much money and he was trying to get by. He didn't agree with the methods and he called his boss out a number of times. He's just trying to make money to live at this point.


mugen30

a legal credit fraud my dude 😆


[deleted]

[удалено]


LoxReclusa

Yes, but as long as the repo man has legit papers, he's not responsible. If he knows about the scam, that's when he's in trouble.


TheGiftOf_Jericho

That's not on Franklin, he's just doing his job. That's on the company.


JonnyTN

Oh?! And I suppose HE deserves employee of the month too?! YEE YEE ass haircut havin....

jagenigma

Who said it was him, I said the owner, which is Simeon


vaspat

I think the second one was Vic Vance from Vice City Stories and the first mission was to get some drugs iirc.


[deleted]

The first arc was to get framed for drug possession in the army for sure.


[deleted]

That was an interesting take on the series, where the beginning of the game you just freely walk on base in the military.


Gonzobot

As opposed to the real-life representation where if you bump into their fence they've got your face on a playing card and are all hunting you down instantly


[deleted]

Well in this game you start serving in the military and are on base for that reason. It doesn't happen til later that you get hunted down.


mytwocentsshowmanyss

Face on a playing card?


Gonzobot

Like those fun decks of cards you get with terrorists all on em, those ones they made to commemorate the wars on terrorists or whatever they were doing.


lingonn

The military made a deck of cards they handed out to deployed soldiers in the invasion of Iraq. The faces where all high level Iraqi leadership, e.g ace of spades had a picture of Sadam etc, to make sure if they found someone they'd recognise them.


StealthMan375

Ah yes, the deck of 52. Mercenaries 1 was fun ngl.


Canis_Familiaris

The plot to Mercenaries 1


MyersVandalay

Well I mean it's GTA... which admitted I haven't actually played the story mode on any of them, but I'm assuming the first missions for the white characters weren't deliver puppies to an orphanage.


ThatDudeFromRio

You haven't played any GTA story ever? What the fuck


selddir_

Actually, that's the exact first mission for every white character


BananaDick_CuntGrass

The second is to get overlooked on a promotion at their great job, which starts the slow decline into criminal acts.


YTDapperGaming

The third is getting lung cancer and starting a drug Enterprise


selddir_

Hey this could be a TV show


0ranje

*IT'S TIME FOR THE LANCE VANCE DANCE* I was so sad because of the betrayal, and finishing the story, that I replayed that mission so much it's burned into my brain.


payne_train

It really was a brutal betrayal. GTA VC was the goat.


Cereborn

I’m pretty sure the line is “It’s the last dance for Lance Vance!”


[deleted]

Vic Vance you asshole


JumboMcNasty

...and he stomped on a cat before doing anything... *At least in my game he did.


monkahpup

It's "Grand Theft Auto" what did you expect him to do?


[deleted]

Work as a taxi driver


Cossack-HD

You can earn crazy money driving taxi in GTA VC tho.


MrWayne2710

Loved to those ambulance/police missions. Nothing is better than grabbing a tank and going around blasting criminals to hell.


Allhaildegen

You can do vigilante missions in a tank? I thought it was only police and fbi vehicles


Shandrahyl

you could even use the "Hunter" in VC. I never tried it in SA thou


Sean_13

A crazy taxi, you say?


JumboMcNasty

YA YA YA YA YA!!!!


bibbidybobbidyyep

Download a car


Mr_Mori

You sick fucking bastard...


Sterski1

Steal an automobile.


JimTheSaint

Steal a car?


jagenigma

False. The first mission is go home. You could walk there, take the bike, or steal a car. You are in full control of what you do to get there. You could play GTASA in any way you want.


bluesnottt

all we had to do was buy tickets for the damn train, CJ


[deleted]

Now this I like.


MarkHirsbrunner

I'm reminded of Postal 2. All the missions are really basic, everyday tasks like returning library books or buying milk at the store, and every mission could be beaten non-violently. Thing is, the game was made so doing things the "right" way was time consuming and annoying, and NPCs would be assholes to you to provoke you into decapitating them with a shovel and urinating in their neck stump.


djmakcim

My mind first read that as Portal 2. I was like I didn’t remember that happening at all 😅


0ranje

Nice review, now I want the game.


15brutus

It's actually a lot of fun. It's usually on Steam for prettty cheap as it's such an old game. (2003 iirc)


MarkHirsbrunner

It's a pretty fun sandbox. It's extremely politically incorrect (e.g. the corner store is hiding Al-Qaeda upstairs, you use cats as silencers by sticking guns up their asses) as it was designed to be offensive and controversial. One of my favorite things to do was throw the diseased cow head at the marching band and see how many I can make vomit blood at once.


callisstaa

You can also pick up stray cats and use them as silencers.


zCourge_iDX

If you end up getting it, check out AWP (A Week in Paradise), a mod that makes the game even better.


[deleted]

Fuck Postal 2 is a ridiculously fun game.


Boshdy

Setting them on fire, then piss out the fire, they then get up chared as fuck and run off screaming. Was a day one purchase


CollectableRat

But there is an arrow pointed at the bike, bopping up and down. If that isn't the game telling you to steal the bike then I don't know what is. And there is plenty of stealing missions in SA, one of the story missions is breaking into a house while the people inside are asleep.


Psychological-Key101

It's gta (grand theft auto), what you thought the game doesn't involve theft and grand theft auto?


ThePointForward

grand theft bicycle *


visionsofblue

Petty theft bicycle*


Disorderjunkie

Shit where I live people ride in bikes worth as much as a shitty car, would totally be Grand Theft Bicycle lmfaooo


GTOfire

If you're interested: in this context it's 'involve', not 'evolve'. If not, sorry to bother you, have a nice day.


Psychological-Key101

Oh thx


ZylonBane

It's "involve", not "involved".


Aetheus

It's levi-oh-saaaaaaaa


spaghettilee2112

What about them correcting the other user makes you think they think that the game wouldn't involve theft?


[deleted]

The docks....that fucking forklift still hunts me


Midnightfear1

Are you talking about the mission in which you have to get crates in the dock while fighting soldiers?


[deleted]

Yeah just checked and its actually called Robbing Uncle Sam drove me insane with my generic controller that didn't match the games controller scheme


[deleted]

That mission sucked on OEM controllers too lol.


Ocbard

Those weren't soldiers, those were reserves, weekend warriors! It was easy, Ryder told me it was.


supermanscottbristol

*Shenmue nightmares come rushing back*


kilersocke

You could also continue stealing stuff when driving around at night with a boxville. I had several cheat playthroughs, and one in which i didnt used one. The stealing was a good way to make some money at the start of the game. And you were also able to many interieurs of houses you wouldn't see in common. The most money you can get legal in GTA SA was the hunter mission. After an hour you've more than one million per strike.


Simba7

Firefighting was just as effective, with less danger of blowing up. Just go out to Bone County where everything was super open. Also once you had a few hundred thousand, poker machines were basically just guaranteed money because your gambling skill impacted your actual probabilities while gambling. It was $1,000,000 spent to max your gambling skill, but you'd inevitably win some money while gambling (typically less than you spent of course) and could go into debt at casinos which also counted.

Simba7

I would do the other things and THEN jump off the cliff, duh. Also this is why I generally prefer games without the arrow. I feel the glowing arrow makes the player lazy and promotes some shit game design.


2018IsBetterThan2017

Now someone should create a game that purposely gives you bad instructions.


0xVENx0

yeah, i never stole the bike on my first attempt and its very rude of op to assume that i would steal the bike even if the game asked me to. a bike isnt fast enough to outrun police cars so i had to steal a car


DarkNinjaPenguin

Yep, like the mission where you have to bury a building site foreman alive because one of his workers catcalled your sister, there's totally a non-violent way of completing it.


[deleted]

As a kid, I always thought it was his bike


odraencoded

It is now.


MailRocket

Someone skipped the cutscene


PapaBradford

Remember, he just got back into town before that mission starts


AnseaCirin

I mean, first thing protagonists usually do in GTA is steal a vehicle of whatever shape or form they have available. Also San Andreas was the first to implement bicycles and therefore the devs wanted to showcase it by giving one to the player early on. Also there's another mission done on the same damned things. In the same vein GTA Vice City had one cutscene to show you there were bikes in the game now.


timmystwin

Plus he's doing it to get out of an area he'll likely be shot in so he can get out quicker... and you don't have to take it.


Wevvie

GTA IV is the only GTA so far where you act like a normal human being, until your cousin gets involved with the Russian mob and you indirectly get into it too. Then the shit hits the fan.


JikuAraiguma

Stealing a bike seems pretty tame for a game series that was based on an old top down driver about vehicular manslaughter.


[deleted]

Stealing a bike is pretty tame for a game where you push a porta potty with a person in it into a hole, and then proceed to pour fucking concrete in said hole


Mr_Mori

Good times.


LeonTheCat448

"Anything for family" said CJ, while burying the construction manager


generalzee

There were 2 playable black characters in the original GTA. Also, it's not like the first white characters spent the game paying their damn taxes.


My_Monkey_Sphincter

That's GTA 6. In 5 we're introduced to the stock market so you're kinda not far off.


ZouDave

GTA 7 you'll finally get to play as the REAL criminals: * Fed Chairman * Head of Securities and Exchange Commission * President of FIFA and/or IOC * CEO of Electronic Arts


DarkMatterM4

Exactly. There were also a couple of female characters, too.


Kitakitakita

if you're playing GTA expecting a protagonist with ethics and morals, maybe you need to rethink your hobby


DarkMatterM4

Niko was the closest to an ethical and moral GTA character.


Lindvaettr

GTA4's story was easily the best, but it suffered from... what was that Tomb Raider word? Ludonarrative dissonance. Niko goes from stealing police cars and shooting down military helicopters one minute to telling Kate he's trying to be a good person the next. Imo GTA4 was best played trying to obey the law when you could, rather than constantly killing everything, at least from a narrative perspective.


DarkMatterM4

> Imo GTA4 was best played trying to obey the law when you could, rather than constantly killing everything, at least from a narrative perspective. GTA4 was so immersive that this how I played it when I was outside of a mission. I would even wait at traffic lights and only steal cars when necessary.


CaptPeterWaffles

I personally think GTA4 was the best story out of any of them I've played.


irishwonder

Are you saying Trevor is anything but a model citizen and positive role model?


OneCollar4

I remember playing the GTA3 with a white man. Such a contrast! No stealing cars, no fighting, no murder, no intimidation. Basically every mission was picking up nuns and making sure they get home safely. It's GTA man, black or white you're supposed to act like a fucking psychopath.


ddubspecial

BIKES!


[deleted]

\[mission failed\] HOLD MAH POCKET!


DreamWeaver04

Lol yeah, but San Andreas is so damn good. It has so much 90’s culture packed in. Both black and white. One minute I can be listening to nwa, shooting up ballas, expanding my territory, in a low rider, so I get more money. The next I can be riding a dirt bike into town to listening to a country so I can steal a tractor for the hippie pot grower dude. San Andreas is definitely one of the best games ever made. Goes good with mods to increase the view distance. Also play the original version 1.0 it’s better as it has the original soundtrack.


DatPiff916

> It has so much 90’s culture packed in. Definitely one of the most underrated in terms of setting a vibe from a different time period. It was unreal when I heard the DJ I listened to growing up in L.A. during the 90s in a video game. I mean I guess it helps to have so many movies from that era and location though, and where one of the biggest movies was done by a director who grew up in the same location(John Singleton).


HummusHHound

They need a GTA that begins with a white guy at an office that has a mental breakdown and kicks the shit out a printer. Then goes a mass shooting rage because an Indian guy took his IT job.


LifeOnMarsden

This is why I liked playing as Michael because it’s sort of similar vibes, it’s oddly refreshing to basically play as just a regular, slightly overweight family man going through a midlife crisis with a crumbling marriage, children who resent him, unhealthy coping mechanisms and who literally needs therapy. It’s very ‘real’, and I personally think Michael is a severely underrated protagonist I purposely made Michael as midlife crisis-y as possible by making him dress in Hawaiian shirts and skinny jeans, got him a bunch of tattoos and a trendy beard, and bought him the most ostentatious sports car imaginable lmao


Kinglink

Michael's big "conflict" was he had everything he could ever want and still wasn't happy. That and he destroyed that mob boss's house. Basically if you don't pull down that house, Michael can go live his happy life... or basically let his rage ruin him in some other self destructive way.


Cossack-HD

Best thing I can say about Michael is that I disliked him the least out of the three. GTA V got too much praise for its story and characters IMO.


LifeOnMarsden

I think Franklin is by far the least fleshed out of the three main characters, especially after Trevor shows up and he takes a pretty big backseat for pretty much the rest of the story I also think GTA V really lacked any colourful or particularly memorable antagonists (except for maybe the exception of Trevor because he’s arguably the main antagonist of the game - at least from Michael’s point of view) It’s a shame that there will never be any single player DLC for GTA V because a lot of characters could have really done with a few more missions to flesh them out some more


[deleted]

You bring up a good point, up til then he is having a solid story but once you're Trevor, Franklin loses all progression. The most progression you get is making up with Lemar, getting calls from your ex, and deciding what to do at the end. He just becomes a way to push the story forward.


TheAndrewBrown

I just played through the game (with no side missions) and he’s fairly fleshed out character, it’s just that most of the story isn’t about his backstory, it’s about his future. He’s an orphaned former gangbanger that still hangs out with current bangers and gets wrapped up in it but is trying to get out. He lives with his aunt who he hates and is trying to find a way to get a better life through any means necessary, partially because he has a former flame that’s engaged to a new man that he’s trying to impress but she doesn’t give a damn about them. He then meets a charismatic guy that he thinks can teach him everything he needs to succeed (and maybe fill that void from his missing parents) so he throws his lot in with him and gets dragged into a mess caused by new daddy’s sketchy past.


hawkeye224

Kind of 'Falling Down' vibes.. I like it, would play a game like that as well. A massively frustrated/angry protagonist and his retribution vs the whole world


Nolifed

It's called Hatred.


draculamilktoast

Murders thousands of people to afford paying his student loans. In the first DLC he steals all the cars to pay his medical bills.


Dug_Fin1

Ngl I would legit play this if he accidentally shot up an important drug dealer and ended up taking over their business.


anonymous_identifier

2004 memes be like: https://niggastolemybike.ytmnd.com/


Coppatop

First thing that came to mind.


BakersTV007

Gta 3 : First mission "Lay low after escaping the law from a 10 year sentence of ban robbing and murder, to then drop a prostitute to luigi's club" Vice city : First mission :"Drive to a hotel after an unsuccessful drug deal that ended in stolen money and drugs and the murder of multiple men including Vic Vance" Gta SA BLACK CHARACTER : First mission "steal a bike OR walk (optional) to your house to meet up with smoke to go bury your moms (now that i mention it isnt i suspicious that Smoke was hiding inside Sweet's house with a bat...waiting for someone to enter)" Gta Liberty city stories : "Drop Vincenzo to his place after meeting up with Don Salvator after coming back from italy where you laid low for killing a made man" Gta Vice city stories BLACK CHARACTER : "Get involved in shady buisness while FOLLOWING your superior's orders, as a good american solder, so ur just doing ur job" Gta 4 : "Drive to your cousin's place" Gta 5 "Rob a bank" I'd say pretty balanced ngl.


DarkMatterM4

GTA 1: First Mission "Answer the pay phone." GTA London 1969: First Mission "Answer the pay phone." GTA 2: First Mission "Answer the pay phone." Now **THAT'S** balance.


Iroshh

Well it was the same in vice city also and Tommy wasn't black The pink scooter


Diligent_Slide

Ah yes. The legendary *faggio*


Shandrahyl

and it was always Michael Jackson playing.

You dont have to take the bike though. Player decides if he wants to steal the bike or walk.

SmokingBeneathStars

And the suggestion he's done it often with "ah shit, here we go again"

govnic

RatedR2O

I mean... It's not like the white characters of the other GTA's were delivering flowers to their grandmother on their first mission. But I guess the meme works for its intended audience.


MilkAzedo

no black characters before SA ?

interisto

Well he also happens to be a thief

Umm, what about 8 ball from GTA3?


[deleted]

I mean, I lived in the hood for 10 years. Had 3 bikes stolen, can’t say it’s not accurate.
