Rockstar hid a secret message underwater in GTA V that only true fans could decode

The mysterious tapping noise heard near GTA V's underwater Hatch isn't random—it's actually a Tap code that translates to: "Hey, you never call, how'd you fancy going bowling?" This is a layered joke referencing Roman Bellic from GTA IV, whose constant bowling invitations annoyed players so much that most stopped answering his calls entirely. Rockstar turned that community frustration into a hidden underwater message years later.
