Is there a specific location I should be looking for them. I've seen one or two randomly off the freeway by Franklin's house, but I'd like to formulate an attack plan ahead of time if I can.

I think it's completely random. I've only spotted one so far.

 

[Draconian]

Racing is awful. Why can't I abort after I wreck? Why do I have to wait for Rockstar to determine I'm either dead or my vehicle is crashed? smh

 

[Rizsparky]

Where do I listen for tips? Random radio stuff like hearing the news reporting your crimes?

Also, outside moneytrucks and heist missions, what else can I rob for money?

Radio tips, in game character tips

Spoiler

Lester has a few

.

And robbing gas stations works well..

 

[D23]

Just flew my first plane. My god that's all I can say. How is this game looked so good

Going to find some gas stations then and see how that goes.

sure would be nice to not have to own an Apple product that costs multiple hundreds of dollars just to level up the dog....

That was In November 2012, maybe they just changed their mind after that. It seemed like a sincere answer

 

[DominoKid]

help me out w/ something about the cars.

i just got the email w/ the luxury million dollar cars you can buy from LegendaryMotorsport.net

now are all of those cars that you can also carjack off the street or are they only available for purchase? i've seen the Adder (Bugatti Veyron) in the wild but that's the only one.

i spent a good 90 mins acquiring a fleet of supercars for Franklin. i got the Infernus and i want the Monroe for him too.

Yeah, it sucks. I found the best way to restart is to jack another car which instantly fails you from the current race.

 

[AlimNassor]

I like Franklin. I thought his trailer was under whelming, bu, he and Mike turn out to be the best. Trevor is ehhh, he's too crazy.

Can you transfer money between characters at any point?

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Yeah I made this mistake last night, I had one of the cars Franklin and Lamar use for one of their missions pimped out and thought that it would automatically save. Apparently you have to use the garage :/ I wish I could remember which exact car it was and look for someone to jack.

I saved it in the garage and lost mine.

This blows hard, what's the point of hunting a car you like and modding it if it's gonna vanish.

 

[Fracas]

I love that in the 3 or so hours I've played, I've been doing different things the entire time. Great mission variety.

Really enjoying it so far.

 

[Rizsparky]

Did somebody say yoga?

What the fuck was that mission.

Best mission so far.

Spoiler

What did Jimmy actually give him?

 

[Madness]

T.P.E - Trevor Philips Enterprises. Weaponry, narcotics, intimidation and casual wear.Lago Zancudo. Great ocean, highway north, through north chumash, 0.5 miles past Raton Canyon. <- when guard rail ends, follow the dirt road down the docks. Bring $500,000 cash. xxxxx

Once again, can someone with $500k cash try and do this secret message from the blueprint maps?

If you save it in the larger garage, it stays there until you take it out again. The Vinewood, Grove Street garages.

I couldn't stop smiling during Praise The Sun. Reminded me so much of that other game. I now want that feature in GTAV. Better be a code.

 

[NoSkillz187]

Where the hell is the quarry? Help.

 

[Madness]

Is this any character?

No clue. That's just what the message says on the map. I'm pretty sure Franklin and Michael can do it and if you have the $500k cash. Could be anything really. It was hidden really well on the blueprint map and most would never see it without the special light.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Can you read the collectible letter fragments?

 

[bengraven]

Is there any nods to San Andreas in here? Does Grove Street exist? The gang?

 

[Madness]

Also, did anyone not have the 'garages' purchased for them from the start? The Grove Street and Vinewood Garages to store cars. They were available for me for free at launch. But some have said they have to spend $30k to buy the Grove Street one.

 

[valkillmore]

- green and purple gang colours
- setting is Los Santos, a city in San Andreas
- Franklin is CJ's dad

[Gorillaz]

Yea grove exist. But Its more like a reboot of the gang then a continuation

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Is there a cheat code list yet? Is it less pathetic than GTA IV?

i mimicked the swingset when i jacked a big rig up near the mountains and my trailer got flipped at an angle but reattached to the truck and started clipping into the ground till eventually just spazzing out

There's an OG Loc record on the ground in Franklin's room

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Bullshit #1: Losing cars. I really thought they would have addressed this.

Bullshit #2: Thanks for all the clothing options. Too bad they just wear whatever they want anyway.

Would kill for an independent dialog volume slider.

They spawn in about 7 or 8 specific locations on the map. The Brady guide shows you where they spawn. When they spawn is the real question! I drove around the spawn points last night and only came across them twice.

Also, did anyone not have the 'garages' purchased for them from the start? The Grove Street and Vinewood Garages to store cars. They were available for me for free at launch. But some have said they have to spend $30k to buy the Grove Street one.

I had them from the beginning. The Grove St one also had a car in it already. The Elegy RH8 or something. The front end looks like a Nissan GTR, it's pretty quick.

 

[Mick Stagger]

Has anyone got the tazer gun and stunned the living shit out of anyone yet??

 

[bengraven]

I kind of figured that would be it. Glad they at least represented Grove Street instead of just making up all new gangs for the city.

Ha, awesome.

It's nothing special.

Is that it? That's every single cheat in the game? Slightly less pathetic than IV if so but it sure aint no San Andreas.

 

[kittens]

I wish they would portray Michael's family life in a more nuanced way. He's a total piece of shit to them and the game just makes it a joke. I hope it gets better. I'm at the part where Trevor and Michael are reunited.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Sooooooooo apparently if the blimp touches ANYTHING, it explodes. Good to know!

I really wanted to get to the top of Mount Chiliad so I flew it up there. I didn't know how weak it was so I tried to land it and my surround sound was loud and the explosion out of no where scared the fuck out of me.

 

[Loudninja]

Even when I turn the game off my car that I left was still in the inpound lot.

 

[Megasoum]

That first load after booting the game takes fooreeeveerrrr on my phat PS3... Dunno if it's normal. Everything is fine after that in game but it takes almost 2 minutes of loading.

If it makes you feel any better, you can upgrade the character's 'default' cars and they'll keep the upgrades when they respawn.

But yeah, I assume they're doing it for 'immersion', but it does seem a little silly especially when there's not that many garages around. If they really needed to 'immerse' it, just do like Sleeping Dogs and have a guy you can call to come get it and bring it to you, the cars I mean.

Yes man, I stinking hate this. I'm half surprised my weapons keep their upgrades. Split by three characters but at least they don't go anywhere.

 

[Megasoum]

Oh...the game just froze on my when I tried to change the sound output settings.

 

[ChimpBottle]

There's no way that's it, there isn't even a weapons pack

 

[Fracas]

Does using any cheats negate being able to get achievements? I'd love to be able to lower my wanted level when I accidentally hit a pedestrian or something during a mission.

 

[Jon93]

Those of you on PS3 and playing the disc version of the game getting low FPS and some weird pop-in issues should know that it's a problem with your disk drive, not your HDD.

So if I upgrade Franklins white car, he'll have the upgrades forever? That's great to hear. I didn't like tuning random cars because of the one and done problem.
