<br>Designing maps as islands is very convenient for game designers, for it permits them to clearly limit the area in which the player can navigate and integrate it to the narration, contrarily to many other open world games strategy-world games that use transparent walls. In GTA V , the island on which the events of the game take place is named San Andreas, and is fictionally positioned in the southwest of the United States of Amer<br><br> <br>But this island may not only be a designing choice. In fact, the game happens on an island in the United States for a reason: it’s a metaphor of the closed mind of the people it caricatures. The United States population is known for its lack of acceptance of other cultures and ideologies, and GTA V is making a statement about it, criticizing this issue with the design of its <br><br> <br>As it turns out, Los Santos has its own serial killer, Merle Abrahams, and amateur sleuths have parsed his clues to find the spot where he stashed his victims' bodies. The mystery starts at the killer's house in Sandy Shores, Blaine County. Inside the burnt down house is a message that reads "there will be 8," a reference to the number of people Merle supposedly killed. Other clues are scattered across the map–a morose poem scrawled on a rock, a creepy etching in a prison cell, a newspaper clipping in an abandoned shack–all leading to the location of the bodies just off the coast of Paleto Bay. Hats off to Rockstar for including an actual conspiracy in GTA V that that players can work to unra<br><br> <br>The underwater hatch in GTA V has seemingly given up all its mysteries. First, players discovered the hatch, which rests just off the east coast of the state of San Andreas. Then, they figured out that there is actually a strange tapping coming from inside the hatch. The tapping was quickly deemed a tap code and subsequently deciphered. The result? A message that reads "Hey, you never call, how'd you fancy going bowling?" That’s a reference Roman Bellic, the cousin of GTA IV protagonist Nico Bellic. In GTA IV , Roman was notorious for calling the player up on their cellphone and demanding the two spend time together. All of this has been documented in a video exploring the hatch, but it fails to answer one question: What’s in the hatch? Is it a reference to the show Lost , or does it play a greater part in a larger myst<br><br> <br>Head out to Tongva Valley and you might be in for a bumpy ride, at least that's what some GTA V players think. One of the newer conspiracy theories to crop up around the game, the Tongva Triangle, which spreads across much of the Tongva Valley and cuts straight across the mysterious Fort Zancudo, is ground zero for some of the more… ambiguous anomalies in the game–the kinds of myths that turn even the most ardent believers into skeptics. Strange happenings in the Tongva Triangle include swamp monster sightings, oddly irate drivers, number stations broadcasting at odd hours and Slenderman himself, among others. While it's not unreasonable to assume that GTA V might include a downed UFO in the Tongva Triangle (it does), the presence of Slenderman, a semi-open sourced internet villain, in a Rockstar game is a little harder to swal<br><br> <br>There are several mysterious writings that players can find on the walls near the movie theater and other areas of GTA V . Of course, anyone who's ever played GTA knows that Rockstar Games did not place these here for the heck of it! If you go for a swim at the beach in GTA V , you might come across the body of a woman with concrete on her feet. Many players believed that this is related to the deaths of the concrete shoe men in GTA: Vice City , but if you take a look at the scrawling on the walls around town, your intuition may tell you otherwis<br><br> <br>We’re not complaining, 2016 was already a year overflowing with exciting games. New and surprising games like DOOM and Stardew Valley blew us away. Games like Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian were finally released, when —frankly— we weren’t sure they ever would.

Sea of Thieves has pirates working together to find treasure or steal it. The high seas quest is as much about hiding and protecting your booty from adversarial squally-wags as it is about using your trusty compass to find it. The first major project from veteran studio Rare in years, Sea of Thieves should be a return to form for the company responsible for games like Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, and, of course, the original Donkey Kong Country games. Sea of Thieves is undoubtedly the most ambitious game the studio has ever worked on. With a great premise, excellent art style, and years of experience behind them, Sea of Thieves could be a real treas<br><br> <br>Most modern-day Americans are familiar with the popular thriller The Shining , which was written by Stephen King and later adapted into a film by Stanley Kubrick. GTA V creators have incorporated the ability for players to dress Trevor in the same clothing as Jack Torrance (the main character from the film). The jacket is called "Overlooked Red Jacket" which is no coincidence since Jack Torrance stays at The Overlook hotel in the movie/book. Trevor is uncannily similar to Jack not just in dress, but also in his balding hair. Not to mention, he’s a bit psychotic like old Jack, hims<br>
