Talk:Collectibles

In GTA III, there are 100 white bundles (implied to be cocaine) in Liberty City.

I always thought that, more to the point, the bundles were SPANK, which in turn is a fictional drug probably based on cocaine. --MattyDienhoff 16:56, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. This is just a slight oversight, so feel free to edit it. Well spotted - Gboyers talk 17:01, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Organization

Any advice on how to organize this article would be greatly appreciated. So far, I have separated Unique Stunt Jumps into their constituent parts, according to GTA III Era and GTA IV. However, I also have a subheading GTA San Andreas under the GTA III Era heading, which says collectibles are subdivided into 4 constituents, but doesn't include the Unique Jumps (the fifth component). How should we arrange this stuff? It seems a little awkward to me as is. EganioTalk 21:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I kind of think that San Andreas' collectibles are hidden packages. If Tiki statues and ballons are, why not oysters, horseshoes, etc.? So, whaddaya think of my reformat? --GuildKnightTalk2me 02:35, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
That looks great, GuildKnight, thank you! However, my question was more along the lines of whether we should try to include the Unique Stunt Jumps in with the other GTA San Andreas collectibles, as they are, at least in my mind, collectibles as well. What do you think? EganioTalk 02:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree they are collectibles, which is why they are on the collectibles page... however they are not "hidden packages", so it makes sense to me to keep them separated as they are; the "San Andreas" sub-section lists hidden packages in San Andreas, not all collectibles in San Andreas. --GuildKnightTalk2me 16:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Stunt jumps are definitely collectibles yet. However, make sure that you don't just repeat the Hidden Packages page. I condensed it all to make it easier to read, since having several bold headings with a single bullet point each is a waste of a lot of space, and there is a lot of bold there which makes it hard to read. I made GTA San Andreas separate, since it has a totally different set of collectibles to the other GTA III Era games. However, it isn't finished yet.
We need to decide whether this page should be arranged by type of collectible (so it has a section for stunt jumps, a section for hidden packages, and a section for others) or whether it should be arranged by game (so there is a section for each game). We appear to be heading more towards the latter with the separation of games, and perhaps thats more logical since the individual types of collectible have their own individual pages (so they dont need dedicated sections on this page).
