I'm not surprised at all. The backstory makes it sound like the whole gang was on his back about Brian's death, and they don't even talk about his role in the incident, so he was probably just a scapegoat. The dialogue during that first mission makes it clear they all resent him for coming back, not for leaving. There's also a lot of dialogue that makes it clear he was the sole member actually against drugs. Also, the fact that so many members were at each other's throats and not doing anything about it is not normal. It's like they're trying to make the gang seem like a lost cause. The whole gang was probably in on the plan, they just didn't all have the stomach for it, and took the side less likely to kill them when push came to shove. The Hispanic boyfriend and triad leader both had their reasons for helping CJ-family and respect, respectively-Grove Street was motivated only by money.

Bro I loved Woozie! I liked how how his blindness isn't said much unless it's a way to have CJ do a mission for him (because if he can see, Woozie will just kick ass left and right) or to make some small joke "I know you're blind, but you gotta see this!" Or "Are you doing the hand thing again?" "Oh right, sorry force of habit". I also love how his goons let him win with card games and the mini-golf but screw cj over which doesn't even lead up to much, it's just a fun detail. Kinda like Toph from atla. The blindness does affect how she acts in the story, but it's not brought up so much as a disability and is even used for light jokes. "I think it looks great!" "Why thqnk you! I've been worki- . . . Why do you feel the need to do that?" Also, saying Woozie's name with CJ's accent is just fun

That theory has some legs. After "Doberman," why would Tenpenny tell Sweet about the funeral and Kane? Loose ends perhaps?

I think a big reason why Carl respects Ceaser is because he told and shown Cj undeniable proof and showing Cj both Ryder and Smoke with C.R.A.S.H and Ballas. He knows Ceaser wasn't obligated in any way to tell him yet he still did , this gives Carl a big big big respect put on Ceases name. Proving not only is he a good , honest , real, and genuine friend to Carl, but also to his sister, he's not abusive or demeaning at all, helps out anytime he possibly can!

What always bothered me was how anticlimatic Ryder's death was compared to the rest of the major characters. Big Smoke was treated as a much bigger deal than Ryder and even Pulaski's death served a bigger role. I get that there were problem with production so his character was written off but they still should have done him some justice since he was CJ's friend since elementary school.

I firmly believe Smoke got Brian killed trying to take out CJ. He clearly knows how competent CJ is and wanted him gone. Without Carl, Sweet was an easy target.

Big Smoke also explained the benefits of entering the drug game to Sweet in the introduction to get him on board and avoid having to kill him. Tenpenny knew Sweet couldn’t be reasoned with which is why Tenpenny approached Smoke with the proposition instead of Sweet in the first place. However, Smoke still tried to get him on board because he didn’t want to have to kill his life long friend. So when Sweet stood firm, Smoke saw him as a blockade getting in his way and had no choice.

that moment when carl is in the car with sweet before they go for smoke and tenpenny is one of the best moments in gaming. They both went through so much to get to that point, such a heartwarming cut scene that is not really mentioned a lot. the people who wrote this game are legends, complete masterpiece

Because Sweet stayed with his principal, Grove Street is weak. We can see how weak Grove Street is in-game because they still use TEC-9 & 9mm, two of weakest weapons in the game, while Ballas and Vagos use AK-47 and SMG in gang territory, arguably, two of the most powerful weapons. Sweet even realized this in the mission "Nines and Aks", saying that rival gangs weapons have advanced, while Grove hasn't. I think this is an interesting detail by Rockstar.

I agree with most of this except for Tenpenny's final goal. It wasn't just trying to get rich by triggering a gang war. His last words were "You never understood what I was doing. 50 of me and this town would be okay." He clearly had some bigger goal which he thought would benefit LS in the long run. This is just my theory based on pure speculation- I think he was maybe in cahoots with some larger organization to clean up Los Santos by making the gang members kill each other. I think this is the same organization which Toreno was targeting and using CJ to take down by destroying their plane, stealing their jet and destroying their yachts etc. My theory is that Toreno was trying to take down Tenpenny by pretending to be an insider at the Loco syndicate and when that failed he used CJ instead. This is why he asks CJ to bail out Sweet in the end because he wants the Johnson Brothers to take back the hood and kill Tenpenny.

I've played San Andreas for so many years (it's one of my favorite games) and the takes you have on it between who killed CJs mom and the motivations of Sweet and how it affects the story has given the game new life for me. I look at it differently now. Thanks dude ☺️

So Michael just faked his death and changed his name and used the money from the job to move to Los Santos, the reason he’s on government paperwork is because Dave Norton has his file still even after he assisted his fake death in North Yankton, and then the other corrupt FIB/IAA agents get in on it because they supervise Dave Norton (or something like that) so they also find out about Michael in the process And the reason Michael tells everyone that he’s been in witness protection is just because that’s the easiest way for him to explain his disappearance instead of trying to explain the truth to everyone

@@NeonTheWolf that’s not entirely it. Michael wanted to get out. He was tired of running and was getting tired of doing such a dangerous job when he had a family. The plan was for him to actually be put in witness protection, gets out of the life of crime and keeps his money and Dave gets the glory which in turn gets him promotions and moving up the FIB ranks for “killing” the most notorious bank robber at the time. While they (the public) didn’t know Michael’s identity as the bank robber they know of the robberies and the crew. The issue was davey’s superiors didn’t really know about the deal. Dave put Michael in WitSec on his own without prior supervisor approval that’s why Michael says they’d both be fucked if they found out. Same reason why Steve Haines can control Davey and Michael. While Steve is ranked over Dave the biggest problem is that Steve knows about Dave and Michael’s agreement and holds it over their heads having them do dirty work. They mention all of this in game over time. If you replay it and listen for these convos it makes sense. Michael even summarized this in a convo to davey I think, could’ve been Trevor.

Actually I think that Rider was meant to be a positive character and not a traitor but later due to a quarrel between the voice actor of Rider and Rockstar, Rockstar changed the story and made him an evil character. But that's what I think, 'cause there's no other legit explanation for why was Rider a good character in the beginning and then went against Grove. Another theory can be that Rider was kinda bored of Grove, and why not the families had broken and stuff and also due to an old school leader - Sweet, Smoke made him his pawn or probably Tenpenny did and then CJ killed him but this theory is based on pure assumptions so I don't support this one much. I just wish Rockstar had made a San Andreas Stories.

"Same things make us laugh, make us cry." So true

You can see in mission 23 doberman after cj captured the territory of glen park, there was a balla that said "Tenpenny set me up" I think that's the one who was inside the green saber.

Heard a rockstar rumor that the reason why Smoke was in the Johnson's house in the first mission was because he was waiting for Sweet to get back from the funeral so he can kill him with the bat but once CJ returned he played the mole until the green sabre mission.

Nah, if you pay attention, the reason why Big Smoke was at the house is because he didn't want to go to the funeral because he knew that Ballas were planning a drive by to kill Sweet, but when CJ returns Big Smoke is caught off guard and is forced to go the funeral

I think Tenpenny ordered Smoke to kill Sweet himself after the Balla bustas failed, but Smoke is friends with Sweet for so long so he tried to persuade Sweet to sell hard drugs as well so he could save Sweet during the The Introduction.

I wanted to add a small things. Everyone calls CJ as buster which is a cowered. I think what the player was suppose to gather from that is in the past when things got tough CJ was not able to stand up for the hood which lead to his brothers death. They also see CJ moving to liberty city as running from the past conflict that put grove street in the disrepair that he returns to.

To clarify the whole Ryder situation. MC Eiht quit doing Ryder because he felt he wasn't getting paid enough. Keep this in mind. Originally, in the beta. Ryder was supposed to die in the same mission but instead of being chased by the boat, he was supposed to get killed by CJ on the dock. Then they decided to have Ryder make it all the way to the end, he was supposed to be forced to work with Smoke by CRASH but had no idea the power Smoke had, and then he was supposed to go into hiding from Smoke and return when Sweet got released and he was supposed to play a role during End of the Line. Now because Eiht quit, Rockstar decided instead of recasting him that they had enough lines to get Ryder to his ORIGINAL BETA DEATH, so they had no choice but to kill him in the same way except they decided to flip his death and stead of dying on the docks, they had you do the boat chase.

I think Ryder was either written as someone that wasn't going to turn on Grove Street and the writers changed their minds last minute or Ryder joined Big Smoke as time went on as you did missions. If you watch some of the cutscenes they barely mention Ryder... they always mention Smoke as the person that betrayed them. They might've mentioned Ryder once and that was after CJ killed him.

Dude I love your channel! Keep up the good work youre amazing man

this was a really good vid, props man

My guess on when each of the three Ballas died. One died leading the ambush against Sweet either killed by CJ or betrayed by Tenpenny. Second died in San Fierro just before CJ hunted Ryder down. Third one, who would be the leader, was killed in the crack palace When CJ went after Big Smoke. Those would be fitting times for each of them to die.

Man, These videos are good, It's worth the sub.

I appreciate this video so much. I played the definitive edition of this game on the switch recently, and I feel like just a couple of the cutscenes or plot lines shown in video format are different than the original game, so I was very lost on this part of the story even though it isn't clear anyways.

The Dev’s replaced sophistication while still managing to tell a story of less organized, gang activity.
