Man that sounds horrid! I imagine that the App would have been completely devoid of purpose if the Numberplate element wasn't attached.
Kind of worrying considering the amount of 'second screen' interaction being pushed by the upcoming consoles.
There's a limited number of armoured cars to rob? Really?

170k... 500 per tow... ya that was worth it
That's one thing that gets me about this game. It uses (somewhat) real currency values. There is a wide range of prices. Everything from a four dollar candy bar to a million dollar truck.
Yeah, about that. Since social club and numberplate making don't work, the app is currently absolutely useless to me. I wanted to make a Seinfeld reference plate but nooooo.

Modded a lovely car for races then some jackass crashed into me leaving this result. The car has totaled and I can't even get in it to drive to the chop shop for repair.
Maybe if I leave it someone will tow so I can pickup from the cops.
So only thing I could do was beat the shit out of the guy with a police baton.

Oh, you mean when you write "THUG4LYF" for shits and giggles on Franklin's car, then realize this is your personal plate for all characters FOREVER (probably even online)?
Fuck, I wish I'd never used that stupid shit.

Just discovered how to rob clothing stores and Ammu-Nations. You have to equip a gun just outside the entrance, having pushed the door open a little, and shoot inwards at the cash registers. Once you started shooting and "this place is closed" you can shoot at all the registers and money bags with a few hundred'll pop out. Not bad. Wish Ponsonby's had registers, but the fuckers don't. Been robbing Ammu-Nations, clothing shops, haircut salons, and tattoo parlors. You get $200-1200 at each place shooting up all the registers and it only takes a few seconds. Pretty fun and a nice way to build a bankroll without doing busywork.
EDIT: Does the Avery Real Estate website serve any real purpose? They put GPS coordinates on your map of homes for sale but can you buy those homes or do anything to them? Be nice if you could somehow rob them.

Can't risk reading the spoiler since I have no idea what it's about. But you can check how many missions you've done and how many are left in the stats screen. And your total percentage.

Played GTAV for ten minutes. Jumped in a yacht, sailed into the middle of the ocean amidst a crackling storm, as Chicago - If You Leave Me Now played. Dove out. Got eaten by a shark.

I have to agree. I'd really like if there were more infinitely replayable tasks that match the narrative theme (heists/robberies, making money, buying businesses, spending money, repeat). I appreciate the work that went into even the smallest of mission cutscenes, dialogue, and scenarios, but outside of the missions there isn't a strong through-line with these characters being thieves. You're pretty much just a normal dude and can go hours not doing anything related to the theme of the game including busywork that doesn't give enough of a reward to tie back into that theme.
I get that maybe GTA Online is more dedicated to "living the life" and I might get what I want from that, but I would've enjoyed to see more of that from the singleplayer characters. Would've gladly traded Golf/Tennis/Yoga/etc. for consistent side work + mini-heists for each character that match their stories. It's already perfectly set up with the repo + meth business storylines. Michael could had his own thing as well.
Yeah, I think I would prefer that as well.
Gosh I just can't relate to Trevor at all.
Sure some of his scenes can be funny... But he is such a god damn psycho. There's no middle ground at all. 3/4 through game spoiler:
. I don't like playing as him and I sure as hell don't like his characterisation.
I dunno. Maybe I'm getting sensitive with my old age.

So I signed up for Social Club on my computer (turns out I already did for GTAIV back in the day), started the game and it tells me "Social Club contact added". But where? There's nothing in the phone contacts.
His personality comes out even more in the side missions and random missions. I didnt really like him at first, but I did at the end
Fantastic game. Story wise, this may even beat last of us for me. By the end of the game you feel like you've seen so much of each character. The 3 heros all have personal stories, and then the main story that involves all 3. Great pacing updates info on each. Easter egg info exists if you bother to watch tv, surf the net and read bleeter, call certain people after certain events. Even some of the random missions have continuing story lines. Jesus.
If online is even half as food as the hype this will be game of the damn generation

As Michael I just got an email from Tracey
I'm kinda choked up.
after she's left saying that she misses me.
And no way that's a good omen considering what's happened with Madrazo's wife getting nabbed.

Just stole an arma guard vehicle, it came up as a blue dot on my radar and I killed the two drivers, so what do Ido with it and how do I get the money from it?
I think it's called a grouppe van.

Has anyone got any guides/tips for the stock market on when to make money the best way, like during the assassin missions?
I just want to make sure I am maximising my potential earnings.

How am I supposed to trade stock? Every time I go to the website its down. I'm doing the Franklin missions with
Lester are to play the market. I can't tell if I'm supposed to be getting in on it too or if its just him making the money.
Vans show up all the time, I think I've robbed the one in Paleto Bay 3 times already. Seems like some random events repeat themselves, while other are one time only.
Anyone know how to make quick money? If I repeat the heists would I get the money again?
I have finished all missions but didn't invest money on the market when doing Franklin's assassination missions for Lester. Now I'm broke
Anyone?

$80,000,- for both platforms for a simple patch is a lot of money.
Compared to the 300 million they already spent, it is small change, and to fix the game when it has sold so well should be a priority.

sorry double post
Do you have a social club account connectet to your xbox/ps account? BAWSAQ was also offline with me the entire time. But getting a social club account fixed it.

Isnt that down to the wind they have added? loads of times during flight the plane im in has wobbled around, changing course when Ive held down nothing but accelerate.
Is there a benifit to finishing all the flying stuff, like a cool plane or something? as I maxed out whatshisfaces flying skill by the time I hit the loop to barrel roll bit.

1 times = 6 hours

I just got an email telling me of my weekly income from the first property I bought......yet I didn't actually receive the money. Is there a waiting time after I get the email before I get the money? Or do I need to finish all the missions for the property before I'll actually get the money?
great, I already figured out how to enter with a weapon but I didn't know hot to rob them
MS stopped charging for patches.

So in gta verse, is America just a nation of islands?
If folks are having a hard time hiding with a car at night in an alley, I've found that turning off the headlights help. I was wondering why the game instructed me that I could do that.
You do not get the money again. It gets added to your account but after you return to the world in the same condition you were prior to replaying the mission
Man i can't wait for the PC version , so i can mod the bullshit out of this game.
Dying in one shot is just bullshit design, in an open world game.
I was cruising in the mountains with Trevor, i read some subtitles about "do you even speak English?" or something like that, i don't even hear the sound of the dialogue.
I look around to see who's talking, before i can even react, they shoot me in the head and i'm dead in one hit.
Could've been something cool and random, but instead i was dead before even understanding what the fuck was going on, back at the hospital, had to do all that road all over again, so i turned off the game and did something else.
I love this game, but man that health thing is seriously ruining my enjoyment of the free roam part of it.

And yet they have "border patrol".
I'm pretty sure Rockstar doesn't pay for the first couple of patches with all the income they generate on both console and the fact they're launching GTA Online 3 weeks after the main game so there will be a download put up anyways.
