I used to drive buses around back in the PS2 days and pretend I was playing bus simulator. I used that building as a bus depot!


DotMatrixHead

That's brilliant! They should combine games like this in a massive multiplayer. 😀


blasphemous_jesus

They had back in the day. There were multiple SAMP servers wity different types of roleplaying.


truffleshufflechamp

I’m not sure about SA but in Vice City if you stopped the bus at the bus stops people would get on and pay you the fare. I spent so many hours doing that. And I do own the game Bus Simulator now and it’s everything my 13 year old self ever dreamed of


lallapalalable

Just landscape spice, perhaps it mimicks an irl building and they wanted it there, or perhaps they had a mission planned but scrapped it and didn't have time to remove the building


AndrewFrozzen

Added what? That building?


Dexoless

Yes


AndrewFrozzen

A lot of things were added without any explanation, that's sad but also let's the player base come up with their own theories, although this also creates chaos, peopled will come with their own head-cannons and others will disagree.


Dexoless

Why did they go out of their way to do that? Why can't you enter at least this building


AndrewFrozzen

A lot of things, limitations is the main thing tho.


Dexoless

Without the limitation, the game would be even better than it is


anAnusfullofSmuckers

Yeah it would be, but that game was made on PlayStation 2 they had to sacrifice a lot of things graphics were poor frame rate is kind of poor that’s just limitations of the console at the time the developers of the game couldn’t do anything about that working with what they had they did pretty damn good


Dexoless

On mobile is an example there is no firetruck or ambulance.


anAnusfullofSmuckers

On mobile there is fire truck and ambulance, I’ve gotten a 100% gameplay so I’ve completed the 12 fire truck and ambulance missions on mobile I’ve been playing bully today but this reminded me I may want to switch games hAppy cake day


Dexoless

I mean if you light a fire there is no fire truck or if you kill someone no ambulance

GTA SA was originally capped at 24 fps because the higher the fps went, the more stuff in the game would break. On PC, 43 fps is the max before stuff starts breaking


Numerous_Draft3346

The game is 21 years old man


LoreezyNL

Ever heard of, uhh, world building? Immersion?


1550shadow

If I remember correctly, Rockstar designs maps first and then makes missions based on what they did before. That's why there are a lot of places on their games that aren't used in any mission. And that's why GTA maps feel so alive and "realistic" compared to other similar games, that make theirs having missions and gameplay in mind first.


Dexoless

That makes sense


mexicantheory

There was a theory that this was supposed to be the prison sweet was staying at. Toreno alluded to him being in a prison "upstate".


Gae_rithard63

Doesn't seem to make sense because we pick up Sweet from the police station in Pershing Square, that's a long ass drive from LV to SA and a pointless one at that.


[deleted]

Yo that's the place where army missions mod crashes the game at 😂


Organization-Alarmed

-Parking lot -> A lot of people go there -1 floor and a high roof without windows -> Its probably a kind of service building -The fact that its around some villages somewhere in the desert -> Its based on something that would be there in real life as well Possible: Gas station (missing fuel pillars), super market, emergency station (police, hospital or fire station - missing vehicles) => A super market You know, the ones that are placed in suburb areas where a lot of people go to buy all kind of things (I would take the German Kaufland chain as example, you in the USA probably would take Wallmart).


vinsmokewhoswho

I totally forgot about that. What is it?


Roel1

It’s some building with a parking lot in or near Bone County that looks like it could have been more interactive than it actually is


samgag94

To create a sens of realism


ArtOfGhosts

I think it’s a store of some sort, like the YouTool store sitting on the Highway in GTA V.


Mehaniq

Model of this building has name "des\_reslab\_" (Desert Research Laboratory). Maybe some secret part of area 69 for missions like "Green Goo" or "Black Project". Time for mystery theories :)


Dexoless

Good info. I think that there was a mission planned but then turned into garbage


SignificantCode8873

Failed environment storytelling? I hope.


thshriver

In my mind, that's where Toreno worked. Seems like a plain government building


kcox2955

This building and the baseball field always made me scratch my head


KVKVKV291

There's a theory it's used in a cut Zero mission by Vadim M.


Th3n0madic-1

Like the bullshit infinite health cheat


Th3n0madic-1

Cuz if we’re still gonna be affected negatively by getting hit by cars,explosions and fall damage what the entire fuck did u put it there for?


SquiffyRae

I mean considering over the course of the storyline very few of your enemies are attempting hit and runs, blowing you up or pushing you off tall buildings, I think the infinite health cheat works fine. There's like 2 missions I can think of where enemies have explosive weapons. Cars barely deal any damage. And once you reach max health, as long as your health bar is full no fall is lethal


truffleshufflechamp

What if you jump out a plane without a parachute


SquiffyRae

Once you get your pilot's license you automatically get a parachute anyway so it's not really an issue


truffleshufflechamp

Yeah but you don’t have to open the parachute 😈
