San Andrea real life location

San andreas is based on california the state, not san francisco the city. The city in san andreas (los santos) is based on los angeles. DanielM1906 (talk) 00:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielM1906: The original city of San Andreas is based on San Francisco. It became a state later (with at least three cities, not just Los Santos). – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:49, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Logo in GTA

There's wrong alignment of GTA logo in Grand Theft Auto wiki website. ASR1939 (talk) 13:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like an issue at Commons. I reverted the change. IceWelder [✉] 14:28, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

history section is missing?

Where the history section? Did it get vandalizes? 180.253.229.163 (talk) 03:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It never really existed, someone added that heading, but the information is all there and just structured a little differently. I rearranged it a bit to try to make it a little more intuitive. Darkage7 _[Talk] 04:27, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GTA 4 Rank Confusion

"and Grand Theft Auto IV is currently rated the second best game ever, with a score of 98, only trailing behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Also, Vice City, Grand Theft Auto III, San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V lie at 11th, 24th, 27th, 93rd and 2nd best PC games of all time, on Metacritic."

I don't know but I don't think it's clear whether GTA 4 is 2nd or 93rd best PC game on the text. Dulton100 (talk) 20:03, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Asking a reader to hold five names in their head while they await the relevant positions is asking a bit. I've trimmed the three that were lower down the all time chart. - X201 (talk)
