What virtues can you find in a City of Sin? That’s the question that fugitive Austin Tyko grapples with in fabulous Las Venturas — a once-thriving American city now overrun by criminals, gangs, and cartels. After breaking out of prison with his cellmate Kyle Miller, Austin reconnects with familiar faces, forms new allies, and gets caught in the crossfire of a criminal underworld he never asked to be part of. As he fights to carve out a new life, the one thing he wants more than anything is to find the people he left behind.

Premise[]

Synopsis[]

Setting[]

In April of 2015, Rockstar announced that they would be releasing a new Grand Theft Auto later that year and it would take place in Las Venturas and the surrounding countryside. When the game came out, the map was nearly five times the size as Grand Theft Auto V's map, with parts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and California. The map featured four states and introduced many new neighborhoods and cities. One of the cities featured in the game was Las Venturas, which was completely redesigned after Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The game's map is approximately 43 square miles/103.6 km2 when both land and see are put together. It takes around 7 minutes to drive from the lowest point of the map to the highest point of the map while going at top speed in most vehicles.

Plot[]

Introduction
The game opens with a black screen "Rockstar Games presents, A Rockstar North Production". A lizard runs across the screen and the camera pans up to show a prison with the searchlights on and a faint siren heard. Two men are seen running over the hill away from the prison. The scene cuts to the men entering a trailer park in the desert. The men walk through the trailer park remaining in the shadows but a streetlight catches the back of one of the men. "RSCF" is seen written across an orange jumpsuit. Out of the darkness a pickup truck speeds into the trailer park and parks in front of a trailer. A man stumbles out of the truck and storms into the trailer leaving the truck running "Home free baby! There's our chance!" says one of the men and the two men hop in the truck. You take control of the driver and your partner instructs you onto the highway. "Just follow the light! Venturas baby! The City of Sin!" A beam of light is seen shooting up into the sky and a strip of blue, red, gold and white light is seen on the horizon. You and your partner race down state highway 69 toward the oasis of light in the dark cold desert. Las Venturas, the city of Sin a city that has turned good men bad and rich men poor. When you reach the city you pass a large bright sine "Welcome to Fabulous Las Venturas, Robada"

Chapter I (Missions 1-11)
When you arrive in Las Venturas for the first time Austin says his first words "Feels good to be home" Austin and his partner drive to a motel located in North Venturas where he says they can get a change of clothes and lay low. Here is where Austin meets the owner of the motel, a middle eastern man named Ramza Salah. He gives Austin and his partner a change of clothes and a place to stay. Here we learn that the protagonist is named Austin Tyko and his partner in the escape is named Kyle Miller. After a night at the hotel Austin and Kyle head over to Austin's childhood home in Southeast Venturas. When you arrive you find the house deserted with a for sale sign on the outside and Austin' family nowhere to be found. We also learn of Austin' background as a Marine who returned to find his hometown in financial ruin and his family on the verge of falling apart. Over the next few missions you and Kyle live at the motel and do odd jobs for Ramza in order to pay for your stay. These jobs include the combat tutorial involving a shootout with crackheads who have infested Ramza's motel and driven away business "I can live with the Pimps, Hos and Drug pushers but the addicts. Can't live with em." says Ramza. Austin and Kyle also take up some work for one of Austins' childhood friends named Patrick who owns a mod shop only a few blocks from Austin's childhood home. Patrick gives Austin a cell phone to keep in touch. And In his missions you do a lot of driving and learn the layout of the city. As well as learn of the new car Mod features and Patrick's list of wanted vehicles for you to steal. Patrick introduces you to his new friend Finn Mulholland. Finn likes cars, which is probably how he and Patrick became friends. Afterwards, Austin can do a couple jobs for Finn. The Act concludes with a shootout with the East Side disciples. A local street gang that's been putting pressure on Patrick's business. 

Chapter 2 (Missions 11-20)
After Austin and Kyle help out Patrick in defending his shop from the Disciples, Austin receives a call from Patrick's sister Kristi whom Austin had a fling with during his high school years. This starts a mission that involves taking Kristi out on a date to a comedy show at the Lion's Den casino. Afterwards you can call Kristi whenever you want to take her out and she becomes Austin's first girlfriend. Kyle gives Austin a ring and tells him to meet him at a bar located down the street from Ramza's Motel. He lets Austin know of a possible business connection with the Gambetti Crime Family out of Liberty City. He says they were once big players in Las Venturas but were pushed out by the F.I.B in the 1980s but now they want back into the city's crime world.

They have set up operation at a quarry located just a few minutes south of the city. Austin and Kyle travel to the Hunter Quarry and meet up with the Gambetti's. The officer in command lets Austin and Kyle know that they have connections within the LVPD and could get police and F.I.B attention off of them if they help them take back some of their territory in Las Venturas. The two cannot refuse this offer. Austin takes the next few missions at the Hunter quarry office trailer working for the Gambettis on a small scale defending their interests from street gangs and the police. He also picks up work from Raymond Frank through his work with the Gambettis. Raymond is a lawyer with connections with the Gambettis and is a severe drug addict. At some point, Kyle introduces Austin to his old dealer, Michael Goldman at the Big Smoke Casino. This leads to Michael giving Austin work, typically relating to drug deals and such. One mission involves robbing the Ruiz Cartel and Badillo Cartel of their drugs. Austin meets other characters such as Jonathon Castello who tells him about Allen Murphy. Allen Murphy is described as a low-life who leads a rival gang to that of the Gambettis known as the Murphy Gang. Austin is asked to take out many of Murphy's gang members with Kyle.
