Monocle Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Since Los Santos, San Andreas is based on real life city of Los Angeles, California, I remember seeing people roleplaying their characters from LA who moved to LS for whatever reason, I don't think LA should be mentioned in game since these two are exactly the same even though the two cities have different economy, population and size, I think LS, SA should entirely replace LA, CA. Of course this doesn't apply to other cities like New York City and Miami, but what do you think? Edited October 4, 2021 by Monocle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnownAlmighty Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 LS is based off LA anyways. LA is the same as LS but it's not a difference anyways. People can call it whatever, but the more weirdest is that certain ppl consider making their chars really coming from LA to LS when it's actually the same thing.

ImpossibleProphet Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I generally just avoid mentioning LA and ignore any mention of Los Angeles in IC conversations. Some might see it as bad, but for me, it's for immersion reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certificate Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Los Santos should replace Los Angeles, just as Liberty City should replace NYC. There's tons of mentions of various cities like LV, SF, LC etc in V so it would be ridiculous to use the real counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witness Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've always stuck to using the GTA universe city names instead of the IRL counterparts, but that's just my preference. I don't think it really effects a situation that much, just roll with whatever to avoid effecting the flow of RP, I'm sure everyone RPing would know which city they're refering to regardless of if they use the IRL name or the GTA lore name. I think refering to street names/districts from LA, claiming they exist in LS is where things get messy and more confusing. There are many areas throughout GTA 5's LS that take inspiration from multiple locations in LA and not just one single location. In my opinion people should be encouraged to refer to the locations as they are, LS should replace LA but at the end of the day it's not a big deal.

FatSam121 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Personally I've always been a fan of using the names given to things in the in game universe. Be it locations, weapons, cars, bikes. It helps avoid confusion IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreco Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It depends on how the lore is going to be set up. You can RP LS and all the other normal US states. You can RP LS, LC, SF, LV and the rest of the US States... Up to the lore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cofii Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I don't like to mention other IRL cities in game too much, only if I need to, but it is just about your character's lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckling Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Per MMartin. Los Santos is the replacement for Los Angeles. LA should not be role played as a place on LSRP. So Los Santos is Los Angeles. Same goes for California as a state. California = San Andreas Los Angeles = Los Santos Edited October 4, 2021 by Duckling 1 Rulers of the Night Los Santos Sheriff's Department Out and about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
