The weapon list for GTA: SA on this page is flat out wrong or contains mis-information.
- There is no M16A2 in the game. Only an M4.
- The silenced pistol is not an M1911 .45. It is a non-specific 9mm, which is directly taken from the strategy guide.
- There are no separate night-vision goggles and thermal-vision goggles. The night-vision goggles simply have thermal capabilities.
EDIT- Tear Gas is in vice city but not san andreas

You're right. Sorry about that. Not sure why I thought they were separate. I actually had to pop the game in last night just to double check. My bad. :) -- JOK3R 14:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
I think that there is tear gas in San Andreas either that or they are smoke grenades, however it is believed its teargas because pedestrians lose health when gas is deployed
P.S.: the "micro-Smg" is not a Mac-10. It is a "micro uzi". Everywhere on wikipedia I see this mistake, and to a layperson the two weapons look the same, but they are not. I will correct this in the article. - albrozdude 05:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is true. I know that the amount of health can be increased by exercising and so on, but does the actual bar change length? Perhaps someone who is certain either way can fix it or let me know that it does. I've got to rush off in a minute, but if no one has replied when I get back I'll load up the game and find out.

If you steel a car, you get a police star. Then the police dispatcher says in the police radio where the suspect is (like Downtown) and if you are on foot or in a car. For the second case: Which car and which color. Most of the cars (like the Sentinel) have the same names (the dispatcher hasn't the exact names for the cars, he only says "in a truck" and so on). But I don't understand what he is saying to the "normal" cars. Turudor? Curudor? And also what he is saying to the "Linerunner".
First sentence of the article: "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a video game that was developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games." OK, but is it an adventure, a Tetris-clone or a shooter? The whole first paragraph does not tell me
What are the differences between the AO version and the M version.
I deleted the part saying that Ganton, East Los Santos and Vinewood are based on the 'N.W.A. - era', which is useless, because it is already said that the game takes places in the early '90s.-- Soetermans 20:11, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I know lots of pages on Wikipedia have sections with cultural references, though GTA:SA is without one, despite (or perhaps due to?) being chock full of them. Has a consensus been made that such a section in this article would be unnecessary, or has no one had the initiative to begin it? If it's the latter, I'll start it and add a few. If it's the former, somebody can say so here and delete it. Agonotheta 10:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
After some discussion HERE, it was suggested that the linking of cheat sites violates the policy on Indiscriminate collections of information.

Aside from being incoherent, that table full of characters (thirty links to the same article) is an utter joke. This needs a chainsaw taken to it. Chris Cunningham 14:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Y2kcrazyjoker4, why did you revert before making your edits? All sorts of other junk (like the tiny deep sections, the triple-linking of various related articles, and the ridiculous introduction) has crept back in. Consistency is only a good thing if the other GTA articles are good; the new layout is far more readable. Chris Cunningham 21:03, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that meant "discuss it", not "stick a comment in the edit history". Why is the excruciatingly boring story of Take 2's press releases the best way to kick off the article? It isn't. Nobody really cares. Chris Cunningham 22:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
So, where are we as regards the peer review right now?
Chris Cunningham 09:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Y2kcrazyjoker4, please stop basing your edits on a reverted version. You've blatantly done this several times now, as evidenced by the genre getting messed up in the first line ( action-adventure has its own article). While you fail to provide a good reason to revert me, you've got no basis for starting from a reverted edit. Back it goes again. Chris Cunningham 18:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
As for your recent edits: Hot Coffee didn't "overshadow" the game; it wasn't controverial to anyone who actually bought the game, nor did it dissuade anyone from buying it.
This is getting confusing. I'll address all the issues I have with the current edit:

How do we feel about including these? People have tried to add a mention of the flowers and they've been reverted. Players of the game should know that you can use the flowers as a less-than-effective melee weapon. However, since they're not really supposed to be used this way, I can see the argument against including it. Thoughts? Croctotheface 00:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
OK, I'm not vested in this edit war, but the page is on my watchlist, and it's getting a bit tiresome. My view is this: the opening titles do make reference to 1991, but I do not recall any mention of 1992. At the same time, "early 1990s" could include, say, 1993 or 1994, which are undoubtedly wrong. So, if there is a reference made to the game concluding in 1992, I'd advocate the specific years. If not, I'd advocate mentioning 1991 and not 1992. Croctotheface 03:52, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Umm... actually, the first WORDS in the cutscenes at the beggining of the game (where C.J. is narrating about why he is moving back to San Andreas) says "Liberty City. 1992" So there is your proof. User:JSelby 19:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Late response, but it is probrably not due to the hard drive, but the fact PC and Xbox versions may run faster because Rockstar has had time to clean up things that weren't included in the final release of PS2, and the game may run faster because it has less things to load, probrably a few easier meshes to load, ect.

I'm not sold on the idea that the game is about CJ gradually unravelling the plot behind his mother's death. In fact, his mother doesn't really come up past "The Green Sabre," where CJ sees that Smoke and Ryder have betrayed the gang, and that they along with Tenpenny were involved in the hit. It would be more accurate to say that throughout the game he gradually unravels the network behind crack sales and corruption in San Andreas, or even that he examines the forces behind his betrayal, but that would be a spoiler. As I've been saying in edit summaries, I think he spends most of the game pursuing his own business ventures--the garage, car dealership, airstrip, and casino, none of which have to do with his mom or the GSF.

I know in the opening new game the year is 1992 but I heard in the making of this game that the year is actually 1996 so please change the year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.207.88.86 ( talk • contribs)
Like I said the year is 1996 because the person in the making of the game said that the year is actually 1996 so please change it now. { 172.207.88.86 11:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)}

Ya know, if this guy says it is mentioned in a making of the game it might be true that the year is 1996. { Polaski67 20:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)}
Yeah, i heard of that in a forum once. I believe that during development the game was in 96, but they changed it to 92.
Well, I would hope that anyone that was alive between 1992 and 1996 would be able to discern the cultural context in which the game is set. References made by D.J.s and commercials are far too specific to the end of the New Jack Swing Era. Besides, none of the stations play anything that was released after 1992, which while not definitive proof against 1996, begs the question, why would everything feel 4 years behind? Eganio 00:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I live in Edinbrugh, Scotland (where Rocstar North is). I visited the studio, then the director said "the game San Andreas is actually set in 96, not 92". { 172.214.89.88 19:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)}

File:More proof that San Andreas is in 1996.JPG
Heres real proof. { JarridUser 21:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)}
I don't care what "proof" anyone has to offer that the game is set in 1996. Play the damn game. It is 1992. Whether or not the original intent may have been to set it in 1996, everything in the game points to 1992, so the obvious final decision was to set the game in 1992. Apparently, some of the posters here never lived through the early or mid-nineties while cognizant of American culture. If they had, they would realize that nothing in the game points to any time after 1992, not the music, not the dress, not the references made on the radio. Here's a small piece of advice: if you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk. Eganio 20:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I think we should have the sales figures (amounts sold and cash taken in) for San Andreas, after all it has been a pretty commercially succsessful game and I've heard it's sold more than Halo 2. Father Time89 02:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about classifying the game as action-adventure game. It is more likely third-person shooter and vehicular combat game. OK, it has some things like in a-a game, but still I think it cannot be categorized as a-a game. Hołek ҉ 11:37, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The bridge.../bridges in San Fierro ar actualy the forth road and rail bridges in scotland.

u couldent mistake the forth rail bridge for anything else but the angle is exactly the same as the real life forth road and rail bridges and 1 last thing is the forth road and rail bridges ar only about 10 - 15 miles away from the housu and office of the people that mad the game

In Baz Luhrman's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, the city it takes place in is called "Verona Beach". This is also an area in Los Santos. I'd dismiss it as a mere coincidence if not for the similarities of Baz Luhrman's Sycamore Grove (A pier amusement park.

I have a gallery of snapshots I took around San Andreas, during my latest incarnation of Carl as taking on amateur photography as a hobby after completing all the missions and making himself filthy rich on the ponies (can't go over 1 billion, unfortuntaley, though). I took great pains in finding specific locations and times for taking the pics, and I think they might look good on the main page. Is there a way of downloading them from the memory card for electronic transfer? How were the pics on the main page obtained? Eganio 03:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
The pictures were most likely obtained from the PC version by taking screen shots of various items. As to how to take the pictures off your memory card I wouldn't say there is a way because the game wasn't designed with the thought of taking the pictures out of the game unlike Gran Turismo 4 which featured a photo mode and compatibility with USB drives so pictures could be transferred.

Has anyone else noticed that the main character from GTA III re-appears during GTA SA (mission "Farewell My Love" - last of the Catalina missions)? According to a walkthrough on gamefaq.com (Aggrosk8r), his name is Claude (I believe Catalina refers to him as Fido in GTA SA). Does anyone have any confirmation of this, and if so, is it supposed to be the same guy, and if so, what the hell is he doing in SA?! Oh, and the final question: do we care? Eganio 00:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
He was in San Andreas as a set up to the plot to GTA 3 because San Andreas takes place a few years before the events of Grand Theft Auto 3, then as we find out later Catalina eventually ditches him after the robbery in the start of GTA 3. It is as notable as many other references to other Grand Theft Auto games like Ken Rosenberg's appearance in San Andreas or the appearance of Salavtore Leone in the game. Xtreme racer 00:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing that up. Well, are such things noteworthy in the general article? There seems to be little reference to the interplay between characters and locations that makes up the grand play that is GTA. Is a short paragraph dedicated to the notion of continuity and thematicism warranted? Thoughts??? Eganio 00:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, because it is a major part of Grand Theft Auto series as the designers of the games always try to link the games together in many ways. We only comment on the section though because to list everything would be irrelevant to the general article. That is what the article for all the links is for. But yes it is relevant to have a small section explaining some of the links between games as it is a major part of San Andreas storyline. Xtreme racer 01:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree that gory details are unnecessary. I'm glad that someone agrees that it should be noted that the series does attempt to maintain the same general plot line and characters. I will put something in, and please edit...your opinion is requested. Eganio 04:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not really sure if the ghost cars are really ghost cars. I think they're just glitches in the game itself. In my opinion they just seem to be cars which spawn on really steep inclines, which cause the vehicle to roll down. For example, (in the PC version) in Playa del Seville, (assuming you've set the rendering distance option to the max, and driving quickly down that major street) a parked vehicle will spawn on a driveway in front of a house; usually rolling down onto the street and colliding with moving vehicles.
As for the Sadlshit and Glenshit, I don't think that they are ghost vehicles, but they're meant to be some old, shitty, beat up cars that some people use. I'm sure it's quite common to drive around the American Midwest and see the occasional beat up old car still being used; that's probably what the beat up Sadlers and Glendales were meant to resemble. If you go to the trailer park across the road from the Lil' Probe Inn, you see some parked, beat-up Glendales there.
Achiu31 21:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Under the description of San Fierro there is a reference to a windy windy windy windy road. This looks like you are talking about the wind that blows. A better known reference to the road is "the crookedest road in America." I suggest you change it to that because it better conveys the true description of the road. Also, the game is all about crooks.
You don't have to use my suggestion, but at least change it from windy windy windy as it makes absolutely no sense in print.
Jaylectricity 17:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, the article mentions several San Francisco landmarks that have been re-imagined in the fictitious San Fierro, and lists all of the real-life landmarks except that for Garver Bridge. Even though it may be modeled after a bridge in Scotland, it is obviously meant to emulate the San Francisco Bay Bridge. I think this should be referenced, not the Forth Road Bridge in Scotland. When describing a fictitious location modeled after S.F., it makes no sense to run through a list of re-created S.F. landmarks, and then begin talking about landmarks in Scotland. I think any mention of the rail bridge should be omitted (since it is not a re-creation of anything in or around S.F.), and the Bay Bridge should be referenced as being re-created into the Garver Bridge, with perhaps a brief mention of its design basis emanating from a bridge in Scotland.

Yes, it is real although I myself have never been able to do it (I can't get my money anywhere near that low). I do recall reading somewhere that there is (or was, as I am certain it is no longer possible in the game now) a way to borrow money from casinos and they would send goons around if you did not pay it back. I'm pretty sure that wherever I read it, it was written at a point where this feature was in the game and was unchanged when the feature was presumably removed.

Ive gone down to a $1,000,000 on the debt thing, its true. Ive found it on the 2nd version on PC.

Should the myths section be extended? There was an article on the myths but it was deleted many months ago in accordance to wikipedia policies.
UFOs and Ghosts cars were mentioned as not being true. Chainsaw killers, a serial killer as well as a shark were also confirmed as not being true. I think all these things should be added into this section, and it should be stated that they are false. This would help people unfamiliar with this topic to understand that there are more myths then just the one about bigfoot. It should be mentioned that Ghost cars can be found, but are nothing more than just beat up cars that roll down hills.

First, you can access the roof of the tallest building in Los Santos from street level. Second, you can access the roofs of any of the taller buildings with the jetpack by using lower-slung buildings as "steps" to make your way up. Just start at the end of a low-lying building's roof and give yourself a "running start" by applying full thrust forward, and making sure to hold down R1 while doing so to gain altitude. When close to the building you're trying to access, ease off the forward pressure, and allow the thrust to gradually point straight downward as you slide up the side of the building. I have used this technique successfully in all three cities. Eganio Talk 20:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Does anybody know CJ's age? I think he's about 25-35 so if he's 30 he would of been born in 1962 I think. Can somebody give a guess at his age and date of birth. I haven't finished San Andreas yet but I'm almost there and I don't think they've said his age yet. Can you just give an estimate of his age and date of birth please? I know this question is a bit silly but it's driving me crazy looking over the internet and everything just to find out his age and D.O.B. Thanks :-) Oh, and I've seen that loads of people are looking at my discussion 'Jetpack glitch?' and whoever is looking at that and answering (I thanks for the help by the way) can you please guess CJ's age? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlr6 ( talk • contribs) 12:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

The weapon list for GTA: SA on this page is flat out wrong or contains mis-information.
- There is no M16A2 in the game. Only an M4.
- The silenced pistol is not an M1911 .45. It is a non-specific 9mm, which is directly taken from the strategy guide.
- There are no separate night-vision goggles and thermal-vision goggles. The night-vision goggles simply have thermal capabilities.

I think that there is tear gas in San Andreas either that or they are smoke grenades, however it is believed its teargas because pedestrians lose health when gas is deployed
P.S.: the "micro-Smg" is not a Mac-10. It is a "micro uzi". Everywhere on wikipedia I see this mistake, and to a layperson the two weapons look the same, but they are not. I will correct this in the article. - albrozdude 05:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is true. I know that the amount of health can be increased by exercising and so on, but does the actual bar change length?

If you steel a car, you get a police star. Then the police dispatcher says in the police radio where the suspect is (like Downtown) and if you are on foot or in a car. For the second case: Which car and which color. Most of the cars (like the Sentinel) have the same names (the dispatcher hasn't the exact names for the cars, he only says "in a truck" and so on). But I don't understand what he is saying to the "normal" cars. Turudor? Curudor? And also what he is saying to the "Linerunner".
First sentence of the article: "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a video game that was developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games." OK, but is it an adventure, a Tetris-clone or a shooter? The whole first paragraph does not tell me

I know lots of pages on Wikipedia have sections with cultural references, though GTA:SA is without one, despite (or perhaps due to?) being chock full of them. Has a consensus been made that such a section in this article would be unnecessary, or has no one had the initiative to begin it? If it's the latter, I'll start it and add a few. If it's the former, somebody can say so here and delete it. Agonotheta 10:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

How do we feel about including these? People have tried to add a mention of the flowers and they've been reverted. Players of the game should know that you can use the flowers as a less-than-effective melee weapon. However, since they're not really supposed to be used this way, I can see the argument against including it. Thoughts? Croctotheface 00:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
OK, I'm not vested in this edit war, but the page is on my watchlist, and it's getting a bit tiresome. My view is this: the opening titles do make reference to 1991, but I do not recall any mention of 1992. At the same time, "early 1990s" could include, say, 1993 or 1994, which are undoubtedly wrong. So, if there is a reference made to the game concluding in 1992, I'd advocate the specific years. If not, I'd advocate mentioning 1991 and not 1992. Croctotheface 03:52, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Umm... actually, the first WORDS in the cutscenes at the beggining of the game (where C.J. is narrating about why he is moving back to San Andreas) says "Liberty City. 1992" So there is your proof. User:JSelby 19:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Late response, but it is probrably not due to the hard drive, but the fact PC and Xbox versions may run faster because Rockstar has had time to clean up things that weren't included in the final release of PS2, and the game may run faster because it has less things to load, probrably a few easier meshes to load, ect.

I'm not sold on the idea that the game is about CJ gradually unravelling the plot behind his mother's death. In fact, his mother doesn't really come up past "The Green Sabre," where CJ sees that Smoke and Ryder have betrayed the gang, and that they along with Tenpenny were involved in the hit. It would be more accurate to say that throughout the game he gradually unravels the network behind crack sales and corruption in San Andreas, or even that he examines the forces behind his betrayal, but that would be a spoiler. As I've been saying in edit summaries, I think he spends most of the game pursuing his own business ventures--the garage, car dealership, airstrip, and casino, none of which have to do with his mom or the GSF.

Yeah, i heard of that in a forum once. I believe that during development the game was in 96, but they changed it to 92.
Well, I would hope that anyone that was alive between 1992 and 1996 would be able to discern the cultural context in which the game is set. References made by D.J.s and commercials are far too specific to the end of the New Jack Swing Era. Besides, none of the stations play anything that was released after 1992, which while not definitive proof against 1996, begs the question, why would everything feel 4 years behind?

I don't care what "proof" anyone has to offer that the game is set in 1996. Play the damn game. It is 1992. Whether or not the original intent may have been to set it in 1996, everything in the game points to 1992, so the obvious final decision was to set the game in 1992. Apparently, some of the posters here never lived through the early or mid-nineties while cognizant of American culture. If they had, they would realize that nothing in the game points to any time after 1992, not the music, not the dress, not the references made on the radio. Here's a small piece of advice: if you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk. Eganio 20:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

In Baz Luhrman's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, the city it takes place in is called "Verona Beach". This is also an area in Los Santos.

I have a gallery of snapshots I took around San Andreas, during my latest incarnation of Carl as taking on amateur photography as a hobby after completing all the missions and making himself filthy rich on the ponies (can't go over 1 billion, unfortuntaley, though). I took great pains in finding specific locations and times for taking the pics, and I think they might look good on the main page. Is there a way of downloading them from the memory card for electronic transfer? How were the pics on the main page obtained? Eganio 03:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
The pictures were most likely obtained from the PC version by taking screen shots of various items. As to how to take the pictures off your memory card I wouldn't say there is a way because the game wasn't designed with the thought of taking the pictures out of the game unlike Gran Turismo 4 which featured a photo mode and compatibility with USB drives so pictures could be transferred.

Has anyone else noticed that the main character from GTA III re-appears during GTA SA (mission "Farewell My Love" - last of the Catalina missions)? According to a walkthrough on gamefaq.com (Aggrosk8r), his name is Claude (I believe Catalina refers to him as Fido in GTA SA). Does anyone have any confirmation of this, and if so, is it supposed to be the same guy, and if so, what the hell is he doing in SA?! Oh, and the final question: do we care? Eganio 00:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
He was in San Andreas as a set up to the plot to GTA 3 because San Andreas takes place a few years before the events of Grand Theft Auto 3, then as we find out later Catalina eventually ditches him after the robbery in the start of GTA 3. It is as notable as many other references to other Grand Theft Auto games like Ken Rosenberg's appearance in San Andreas or the appearance of Salavtore Leone in the game. Xtreme racer 00:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing that up. Well, are such things noteworthy in the general article? There seems to be little reference to the interplay between characters and locations that makes up the grand play that is GTA. Is a short paragraph dedicated to the notion of continuity and thematicism warranted? Thoughts??? Eganio 00:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, because it is a major part of Grand Theft Auto series as the designers of the games always try to link the games together in many ways. We only comment on the section though because to list everything would be irrelevant to the general article. That is what the article for all the links is for. But yes it is relevant to have a small section explaining some of the links between games as it is a major part of San Andreas storyline. Xtreme racer 01:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not really sure if the ghost cars are really ghost cars. I think they're just glitches in the game itself. In my opinion they just seem to be cars which spawn on really steep inclines, which cause the vehicle to roll down. For example, (in the PC version) in Playa del Seville, (assuming you've set the rendering distance option to the max, and driving quickly down that major street) a parked vehicle will spawn on a driveway in front of a house; usually rolling down onto the street and colliding with moving vehicles.
As for the Sadlshit and Glenshit, I don't think that they are ghost vehicles, but they're meant to be some old, shitty, beat up cars that some people use. I'm sure it's quite common to drive around the American Midwest and see the occasional beat up old car still being used; that's probably what the beat up Sadlers and Glendales were meant to resemble. If you go to the trailer park across the road from the Lil' Probe Inn, you see some parked, beat-up Glendales there.
Achiu31 21:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Under the description of San Fierro there is a reference to a windy windy windy windy road. This looks like you are talking about the wind that blows. A better known reference to the road is "the crookedest road in America." I suggest you change it to that because it better conveys the true description of the road. Also, the game is all about crooks.
You don't have to use my suggestion, but at least change it from windy windy windy as it makes absolutely no sense in print.

OK, the article mentions several San Francisco landmarks that have been re-imagined in the fictitious San Fierro, and lists all of the real-life landmarks except that for Garver Bridge. Even though it may be modeled after a bridge in Scotland, it is obviously meant to emulate the San Francisco Bay Bridge. I think this should be referenced, not the Forth Road Bridge in Scotland. When describing a fictitious location modeled after S.F., it makes no sense to run through a list of re-created S.F. landmarks, and then begin talking about landmarks in Scotland. I think any mention of the rail bridge should be omitted (since it is not a re-creation of anything in or around S.F.), and the Bay Bridge should be referenced as being re-created into the Garver Bridge, with perhaps a brief mention of its design basis emanating from a bridge in Scotland.

Yes, it is real although I myself have never been able to do it (I can't get my money anywhere near that low). I do recall reading somewhere that there is (or was, as I am certain it is no longer possible in the game now) a way to borrow money from casinos and they would send goons around if you did not pay it back. I'm pretty sure that wherever I read it, it was written at a point where this feature was in the game and was unchanged when the feature was presumably removed. I wonder what happened to that? .:Alex:. 20:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Ive gone down to a $1,000,000 on the debt thing, its true. Ive found it on the 2nd version on PC. The goons are basically the skinhead taxi drivers, the punks and the guys wearing green shirts and shades. There all armed with AK47's and once killed, a lot of money can be earned from them [average of $2000-3000]. However, they can't get you once your outside Las Venturas, though i heard that there have been sightings of them seen in bone county and even in San Fierro... —Preceding

Should the myths section be extended? There was an article on the myths but it was deleted many months ago in accordance to wikipedia policies.
UFOs and Ghosts cars were mentioned as not being true. Chainsaw killers, a serial killer as well as a shark were also confirmed as not being true. I think all these things should be added into this section, and it should be stated that they are false. This would help people unfamiliar with this topic to understand that there are more myths then just the one about bigfoot. It should be mentioned that Ghost cars can be found, but are nothing more than just beat up cars that roll down hills.
All this info should be added, and not deleted unless there is a good reason to. There is a site which can be used as a source for this info. -- JayJ47 ( talk) 06:07, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you "JayJ47" and will add the info according to information I read on a rockstar produced website documenting info on the myths. This website can be used as a reliable source, and I will inlcude it within the article. -- 220.101.48.95 ( talk) 06:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, there's been a bit of a revision war about the image GTASABOX.jpg - there are two possible versions. The current one is a bit battered, and thus I prefer a slightly older one. Hpwever, my revision got reverted, so I figured I'd come here and ask for consensus. mattbuck ( talk) 09:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I have read in different forums about a "Second Edition" of SA for PC (also called "Second Edition" at the Rockstar Support page [1]). Does anyone know about this, what it is about and if it shouldn't be included into the article? -- SoWhy Talk 17:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Theres this building in Los Santos that I think is the highest in Los Santos. So I get a jetpack and try and hop from one building hoping when I get to that building I can parachute off. to another up and up, but for some reason the jetpack stops and goes down slowly. I tried everything but it just at any height on occasions just stops and floats back down to the ground. I can stop it by waiting for a bit and then it works but then doesn't. Does anybody know or has had problems like this before? I've tried going in a plane and dropping on the top of the building but the plane is to fast or crashes and I can' find a helicopter-- wait I can' remember... Is there a helicopter on GTA:SA? Well, if there is anyone who can help thanks :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlr6 ( talk • contribs) 12:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Can't you walk into that building and it takes you to the top? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.213.233.162 ( talk) 03:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
I can't walk into that building, I wish I could though! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlr6 ( talk • contribs) 12:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
First, you can access the roof of the tallest building in Los Santos from street level. Second, you can access the roofs of any of the taller buildings with the jetpack by using lower-slung buildings as "steps" to make your way up. Just start at the end of a low-lying building's roof and give yourself a "running start" by applying full thrust forward, and making sure to hold down R1 while doing so to gain altitude. When close to the building you're trying to access, ease off the forward pressure, and allow the thrust to gradually point straight downward as you slide up the side of the building. I have used this technique successfully in all three cities. Eganio Talk 20:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Does anybody know CJ's age? I think he's about 25-35 so if he's 30 he would of been born in 1962 I think. Can somebody give a guess at his age and date of birth. I haven't finished San Andreas yet but I'm almost there and I don't think they've said his age yet. Can you just give an estimate of his age and date of birth please? I know this question is a bit silly but it's driving me crazy looking over the internet and everything just to find out his age and D.O.B. Thanks :-) Oh, and I've seen that loads of people are looking at my discussion 'Jetpack glitch?' and whoever is looking at that and answering (I thanks for the help by the way) can you please guess CJ's age? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlr6 ( talk • contribs) 12:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
There's no reason not to link to that site. It's not a "fansite" in the sense of some guy putting up animated gifs of CJ shooting people. It could just as easily be called an independent news and information site. Let's keep it. Croctotheface ( talk) 18:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
