Many of them even brought themselves into the role of taxi drivers. It was as if they were addicted to it. They would do it for the entire night. There was even a nouveau riche who excitedly posted that driving a taxi in GTA was really fun!
The players were shocked. You spent 300,000 yuan on a gaming pod and 3,000 yuan on a game. In this game, you could commit murder, arson, and bank robbery, but you were just driving a taxi. You earned two to three hundred yuan per trip, and you often encountered passengers who would push the door open and run away without paying. You were not angry at all, and you were even enjoying the scenery? Driving a taxi was one thing, but you actually followed the traffic rules and waited for the red light at the intersection? Never went against the traffic rules? Never exceeded the speed limit?
What kind of spirit was this …?
However, according to this nouveau riche, driving a taxi had given him a long-lost goal in life. As a second-generation child, he had long lived a life of idling, collecting rent, eating, and having fun. He felt that life had lost its meaning, and he could not muster up any motivation at all. However, in GTA, he suddenly felt that earning money with his own hands and supporting himself was so blissful. Looking at his savings rising bit by bit, he felt an inexplicable sense of achievement. Moreover, in the process of driving a taxi, he ran all over Los Santos and saw different scenery. It made him rediscover the meaning of life.
As for this nouveau riche's post, the onlookers cried. They were not moved, but when they thought about how poor they were, they really wanted to follow the internet cable to find this pretentious person and beat him to death on the spot …
There were also some clever people who discovered that the best way to earn money in the game was to speculate in the stock market!
As long as one had a certain amount of capital, they could enter the stock market to have fun. However, the high returns came with the high risks. Some people bought high-priced stocks, but ended up losing their underwear … Slowly, the players who speculated in the stock market concluded that there were actually many hidden clues in the game. As long as one paid attention, one could make a fortune in the stock market.
For example, there was a side mission where a financial professional hitched a ride to the airport. After arriving at the airport, he would tell the player to buy a certain stock, and after buying it, the stock would rise sharply in a few days.
Or there was a mission where the player had to mess with a competitor of a certain company. Before doing so, buy the company's stock, and then get rid of the competitor, and the stock in the player's hand would rise sharply.
There was even a plot like this: A player had nothing to do and was driving around the city. As a result, he encountered someone robbing a young man's bicycle. He bravely went up and subdued the robber, then returned the bicycle to the owner. The owner didn't give anything … but a few days later, this person would send an email saying that he would give you 100000 shares.
There were many similar plots like this. In short, it could be summed up in one word: Five-card stud! The winner would be a yacht model, and the loser would have to work in the sea.
Many players became billionaires by speculating in the stock market. Even when Mike was worrying about money in the plot, he had no idea that he already had billions …
The players all sighed. It was a pity that Sage Luo couldn't speculate in real estate. Otherwise, the money would come in even faster. Sage Luo alone could buy the whole of America. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Many players began to focus their attention on the three main characters and the game's ending after they had enjoyed themselves and earned some money.
In the end, Franklin was left with three choices. He could either follow the FBI's request and get Mike to kill Chui; he could also follow the stock market tycoon Devan's request and get Chui to kill Mike; or he could choose not to kill either of them.
Most players, of course, chose C. What a joke. It was already frustrating enough in real life, and now they had to choose a friend to kill in the game? I have more than two billion on me, and the weapon in my fourth dimension can take out a special force. How dare you threaten me?
However, there were still many players who deliberately completed the A and B endings after finishing the C ending.
If Franklin chose to kill Trev, then everyone would be happy. Lester would give you Trev's share of the money, and Mike would tell you how perverted Trev was before leaving.
However, if you killed Mike, Franklin would not give you the money, Mike's family would break up with you, and Trev would directly reject your proposal to kill Mike. He would angrily send you a text message telling you that you were dead meat. At the last moment of killing Mike, the player could choose to save Mike, but at this time, Mike would directly headbutt Franklin, and then fall to his death.
Through these two endings, the relationships and personalities of Franklin, Mike, and Lao Chui were vividly and vividly displayed.
Mike did not hate Trev. The reason why he agreed to kill Trev was that Trev was a threat to his family. If he chose the C ending, during the gunfight at the foundry, Mike would suddenly lose contact with Trev. He would even curse and shout Trev's name, fearing that Trev would be killed by the FBI.
Mike had always regarded Franklin as his own son. In his own words, "Franklin was his ideal son." That was why Mike was so desperate and helpless when he was betrayed by Franklin. He seemed to have seen some kind of reincarnation. Many years ago in North Yanketon, he had also betrayed Trev. This time, he was betrayed by his most trusted Franklin. That was why he was so desperate.
Many players would sincerely admire the success of GTA in shaping the protagonists when they recalled the little things that happened during the progression of the story line of the three protagonists.
When the players switched protagonists, what they were doing could actually reflect their current state. When these details were combined, the mental journey of these three characters was completely displayed in front of the players.
For example, after Lao Chui killed the motorcycle gang, he spent a long time hunting down various remaining forces, such as throwing people under the bridge, into the water, and killing them in fancy ways. He would also wake up with a hangover in various places, such as someone else's mansion, the cemetery, the top of the mountain, the railroad tracks, and the island where a bunch of gangsters died …
It was a good representation of Trev's unstable state of mind.
Mike's state of mind, on the other hand, was different at different times. In the beginning, he had a falling out with his wife. When he wanted to hug her in bed, he was immediately pushed away. When he gave money to his son and daughter, he was mocked and ridiculed mercilessly the next second. He had no dignity as a parent. Mike often sat on a bench in different places, or simply fell asleep on the steering wheel in his car in front of his house.
In the middle of the game, Lao Chui came back. The FBI came looking for him. His wife and children were all gone. Mike slept with a gun under his pillow. He often woke up with a start and aimed at his surroundings. He even lost his shelter and could only watch the sunset outside Lao Chui's trailer.
But in the later stages of the game, Mike fought his way out of the siege and the family reconciled. Before he woke up, his wife would hug him reluctantly. The two of them would drink coffee and play tennis. They would ride a bike with their son and play video games. They would watch TV with their son and daughter. They would chat and laugh with the crew.
When they passed by a street full of prostitutes, Mike would point at his ring and say, "It's okay, lady. I'm very happy in my marriage."
As a young man, Franklin's state of mind was easier to sympathize with.
In the early stages of his life, Franklin loved to exercise. He would either do push-ups in his room or do pull-ups on the horizontal bar. He would also read some books. However, he was confused about his future. He did not know what his life would be like. Sometimes, he would rather sleep until the afternoon than start a new day. He could not forget his ex-girlfriend.
Later on, Franklin met Mike and Lester. Lester gave him a super luxurious house. When he first moved in, Franklin could not hide the ecstasy in his heart. He watched TV and played on the computer at home. He slowly drifted away from his old buddies. He learned to bring girls to have fun in his house. He also learned to politely send girls to taxis.
