Support NeoGAF

[cormack12]

@above somewhere - I'm sure some gaffer said he walked the entire outskirts of the map and it took him/her 3h10m or summat.


Question for those with the blimp code. I've got the contact and I phoned them, waited for ten minutes. No blimp showed up and nothing was flashing/labelled on my map. What gives? How do I get it.

Not that far into the story, only just got to the third character.

Aw shieeeet

I think I had seen yeti.

 

[hillsighed]

Does the PS3 version support custom soundtracks?

 

[Dreaver]

God damn it, bought loads of bullets, still didn't open so I wanted to try the gas station thing. The fucking van flipped over. Oh well, time for some golf to relax (in game)!

Thanks for the answers though, perhaps more luck next time.

Oh and here's how to get the Assault SMG for those of you that don't already know:

Early-Mid game franklin question.

Spoiler

I just got to Lester's assassination missions. I dumped all my money into the opposing company's stocks. When is a good point to sell? Do those stocks ever hit 60-70+pts

?

Lack of booby physics both unnerved me and my GF during a trip to the strip club.

i called and it said that one would be available shortly. a little blimp icon showed up on the map and i had to drive to it. i'm not as far in the game as you btw.

Turn down sharpness on your TV.

I'll try that, but I don't think it's too high.

 

[wuxian fengguang]

I just want to chime in... This game... So good! Compared to GTA IV it almost(!) feels like a generational leap in many ways (excluding the frame rate, hehe).

 

[antitrop]

This is like the year of GOTY for anti.

I'm on the same boat so I ain't complaining

No lies, man. 2013 is one for the books.

 

[NeptunePirate]

I haven't heard this many N bombs since my great grandmother was alive. Bless her racist soul.

I got a good laugh when Lamar sings it.

I haven't thought of trying that yet. Unless someone else has the answer, I will try it when I get home from work.

 

[Dark Octave]

I think my major gripe with the gunplay is the tiny ass reticule. Just give me a plus sign as a reticule or something, jeez.

Same here. I kept losing it. It's a white dot the size of a pixel. I meant to see if there was an option to change it.

 

[Liquidsnake]

How did you steal an armored truck?
Where did you find it?

 

[Yoshichan]

Flying... Buying stocks... Hunting deers... Matathon... Jetski... Parachuting... Mountain biking... Mountain climbing...

Tell me something this game doesn't have

Oh my god I'm having so much funnnn

 

[vixlar]

Does the Xbox version need Gold membership for linking to Rockstar Social Club?

 

[Ziek]

They are random events. You just have to stumble upon one. I think it shows up as a blue dot on the minimap.

Really early on? I thought that was funny too, niggaaaaaa.

 

[AkuMifune]

I think GTAV and TLoU are running one and two in my favorite games of all time right now, and we had them one after the other this year.

Amazing.

I mentioned this yesterday and I'm still not happy with it.

I hope it's fixed in an update or something. Just make it a big white dot, I don't care if it looks ugly.

online is going to suck if they don't do anything

 

[NeptunePirate]

Yeah, Franklin and Lamar's banter back and forth is great.

Cheers, guess I'll try again tomorrow.

 

[tj hazuki]

The game made $800 million in less then 24 hours.

Yeah, cracked me up when outside franklins aunts house Lamar tells franklin to ge his haircut, delivery was perfect.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Lamar is the Smokey to Franklin's Craig.

No wonder it got so many 10's.

O M G. I spent hours looking for something similar in San Andreas. Mission accepted.

I'm going to have to quit coming in here because I am getting way too many ideas and will have no direction tonight.

You can change it in the settings.

 

[D4Danger]

The complex crosshair is still rubbish.

I don't remember any other game where I've had this problem. I played MP3 on the PC so maybe that helped? I don't remember it being a problem with any other Rockstar game (on console or PC)

 

[NeptunePirate]

Lamar is the Smokey to Franklin's Craig.

That is the exact feeling I got when I first started playing. I love it.

 

[criesofthepast]

So I ran into a weird bug. I was going on a ride with Jimmy but his clone was already sitting in the car with me.

As you can see, it kinda freaked Jimmy number 2 out.

Spoiler

Or is it Jimmy number 1?

Haha this is funny. Then Jimmy runs into the house and disappears? I would have shot one of them to see what happens.

 

[Psychoward]

Alright a few things

1. Can someone explain to me how the car system works in-depth? What's the difference between a safe house and a garage, why does Franklin not seem to have a safehouse but Michael does (haven't unlocked Trevor yet), how many cars can you own at once, etc. Everything. Don't want to waste thousands on cars and then getting screwed over. Also I guess I could ask this for weapons/attachments too but only one I've bought so far was a knife.

2. Is there any way to rob pedestrians at gun point without resorting to killing them or knocking them out?

3. Where are the clothing stores on the map? Can't seem to find any....

4. Do different haircut places have different options available or do you at least unlock more cuts later?

5. Is there a way to trade money between characters?

Oh I forgot one, do you lose stranger missions if you do the story mission before them?

6. Why is Rockstar so based?

 

[ilikesanta]

Blarg, my 360 phat disk drive is almost useless now. I was able to install the install disk no problem and I was able to play the first 3-4 missions but when ever a cut scene starts up it just freezes. I have to wait until tomorrow night before I can install the play disk on a hard drive from a buddies 360. I walked to my local gamestop and they didn't want me out because "if the disk messed up their 360 they would be screwed." I thought I could just mess around the city but the game froze on me while Michel cursed at me for crashing into a pillar.

Well this was the last game I was going to buy for my 360, it will go out in style.

 

[Omni]

After purchasing my helicopter, I've flown around pretty much the entire map. Jeeez it's big. (Also took the opportunity to skydive. Dat view)

Not a fan of the excessive turbulence on helicopters though. Makes flying a pain in the ass because you rock to the side like you're about to roll over... And everything feels weightless. Perhaps I've just been spoiled by BF3's helicopter controls.

 

[Uno Venova]

Damn it guys stop changing your clothes all the time. I styled you that way for a reason.

 

[Dug]

Just got a text:

"Your Los Santos Customs order has been process for your Buffalo. This ones on the house, come back soon."

How do I get it?

 

[ebullientprism]

Has anyone else just stopped using the GPS outside of missions?

I find that when I turn it on all I look at is the guiding line. Seems like missing out on whats happening on the screen at times.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I feel like an insane person. My game has no more story missions for Franklin as far as I can tell (completed 4) and I can't find Michael. Never met him and all I have available is tow truck missions or a paparazzi Thing. It's driving me mental and I've lost about 90 minutes fucking around trying to progress the game

. I feel like that 'why can't metro is crawl' guy. What in the blue fuck have I missed? As far as I can figur I must do a mission with a yacht, but how/where is that triggered? I'm starting to think I bugged my game somehow and should start again.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Yea, I followed him but I couldn't find him anymore.

You shouldve done a mission with franklin where you have to repo a car from Michaels house.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Jimmy sure sounds a lot like Jonah Hill.

 

[Overdoziz]

So I was driving on the highway outside the city when a biker gang leaves a restaurant and drives onto the highway right in front of me. Small things like this make the world feel so much more alive. Love it.

Did you try going to your safehouse and sleeping? That triggered one of the missions early in the game for me. Otherwise you want a mission from the dealership to go pickup a car... that's how you meet the next character.

 

[Papercuts]

Did anyone get this random encounter with Trevor?

Spoiler

I saw multiple trucks all facing eachother in a cirlce off the road a bit, all blaring their horns. Everyone was outside and dead, with one guy still partially alive telling me something about a briefcase. It was down the mountain a bit with 2 other half dead people who warned me to not touch it, I took it and got $25,000 and they all died off one by one. It was eerie.

Check texts maybe? Simeon should have a mission. Not sure what else it could be.

Nope. Well the red/white at very start of the game? Did so, then did 3 more missions.....

Also went to bed and smoked weed a bunch of times, nothin

Have you been back to vinewood garage to get story missions for Franklin?
