spots you ignored in las venturas | san andreas world tour

Thank you for rendering this on 4:3 so I can watch it on my silly little tv :))))

You can use a Freeway to enter Area 69. If you park next to the top vent, you get teleported inside when getting off the bike.

I know technically IV and V are bigger than SA, but I’ve played since GTA3 came out, and to this day SA feels BY FAR the biggest.

San Andreas without the fog was such a whiplash to me. It blows my mind how not having this simple graphical effect makes the map feel so much smaller in comparison.

Remember that in GTA you can go over 100mph all over the map while in games like Skyrim and RDR2 you’re limited by the speed of a horse. This makes those games look much bigger than they are.

Fun Fact about the Lil' Probe'Inn. Specifically in the Xbox version of the game, the UFO photos have been replaced with actual in-game screenshots with UFOs photoshopped in. I could see Xbox players being even more convinced of actual UFO activity in the game because of this.

What made san andreas' render distance so realistic was the fact you cant make out whatever is around 3 to 4 city blocks away. It hampered the offroad experience but it nailed the uncertainty of living in a crowded city. Go downtown in any crime ridden city (car or leg) and it starts to feel like youre running around san andreas

20 years later and I finally learned what that mystery building in the thumbnail is. I wont spoil the video, but it's the most honest and clear answer I could have asked for. Thank you.

I love it so much that you use 4:3 aspect ratio. It just feels so right to play 2000s games on it, I might buy an old monitor just to have the nostalgic feeling

I recently got obsessed with the "research" desert building: I figured out that, if you are on the road north of the building, vehicles do this weird thing where they drive down the dirt road, and sometimes turn right towards the building, turning around before reaching the parking lot! Very strange and this is the only way you will ever see vehicles driving there. Other things I did: I counted the parking spots, around 90 iirc, but they're unrealistically small. I confirmed that the north wall is in the shade all day, making it ideal for my bland early 90s sedan to not get beat up by the desert sun. I roleplayed working there. I discovered a small trailer park I'd never seen before, to the north-west of the building, where one trailer has no collision and you can literally go through it. Good times.

Only recently discovered the channel, and I really really like it! I love the calm and introspective tone of these kinds of world tour videos, it's so nice.

I never ignored these spots They're just so endearing, even early on before finishing the main story btw you give the same vibes as The Librarian, and I love that

"im allowed a bad idea every now and then as a treat" i love this line so much

I love the Las Venturas area, it's the last part of the map in the story so back then only a few kid explored it as much as Los Santos. Went back later and realized the real distance between LS and LV is really small but in design they are so far away between each other, really good video as always !!

7:11 - Purple skies really do happen in some of the desert areas of the United States. I grew up in Arizona, and nighttime would look purple sometimes. I know Dallas, TX also has purple skies often during sunset. Since Las Venturas is based on Vegas, it makes sense. It also looks damn beautiful!

The truth is out there

This was nice, glad to see Bayside getting some love. Never knew that place in the mesas was a research station, maybe if they had enough time Rockstar would have put a unique crowbar weapon near it.

This series has managed to make me slow down and enjoy the atmosphere and the explore what the game offers instead of trying to just rush them and get to the next game. Thank you for that. Can't wait for more of these. <3

Hearing you descibe second hand nostalgia is so relatable. i always get this weird kinda comfy nostalgic feeling in older games even when i have never played them before or only played them first 3-4 years ago and now it hit me that yeah it really does feel like second hand nostalgia,like you're experiencing the game as someone would have 2 whole decades ago. I just never thought i'd ever figure out a term that comes close to describing it kek

Fun fact: there actually WAS a mission that took you to Bayside. It was called "The Truth is Out There" and it was a mission for Truth, in which you had to go to bayside to rescue him from feds that were chasing him because he strayed a little too close to Area 69. Speaking of, there actually IS a way to access the interior of Area 69 in freemode without having to do the truth mission, albeit through a glitch: take a Freeway bike, then park it next to that airvent you stood next to, and when you dismount over it, you should be able to warp down into the room where the minigun is housed. Have fun!
