Grand Theft Auto V |OT2| <Title available for purchase>
- Thread starter Buckethead
- Start date
I'll put my answer in spoilers just in case.
Looking at the social club site it's mostly small things like buy a weapon mod, buy a car mod, hang out with a friend at a strip club, hang out with a friend and play golf or tennis, rob a store. Small stuff like that
If you want to know in detail about all of the stuff in the game the Social Club site breaks it all down and will tell you what they are when you hover over the pic. It separates them all into the same categories the 100% checklist does.
Ah cool, yeah I just found out about the Social Club checklist (now that I can actually load the site). Will be rally helpfull for getting the "true" 100%.
Wow that map is amazing...
Btw, is there any in game "non cheat" ways of
finding Letter Scraps and Spaceships Parts
If only they chased you so I could have Franklin go into police chases without having to kill someone haha

You know, this game is awesome, but it has the same problem that I have with every GTA.
The "story" is fucking atrocious. I mean, the acting is great, but I am 70% of the way in this game and I have no idea why I am doing what I am doing half the time.
I have no idea what my motivations are. I don't know who the main antagonist is. Why am I picking this guy up? Who is he? Why are we doing this now? Why are we going here? Why did we just do that job? We got nothing out of it and it didn't advance the story at all.......
If you asked me to tell you the plot, I honestly wouldn't know how to. I don't even know what the end goal is here, and I'm probably a few hours away from completion.
Not a big deal, but something I find really lacking in these games.

Shiiit. I'm definitely getting volume 2 and maybe volume 1 also.
That is joint fastest car in the game. The Veyron still has a higher top speed. But no, all max tuned cars are not the same at all. For example, Trevors truck for me has max acceleration but is not even close to as fast off the mark as my super cars. Neither is Michaels Audi A6.It seems every car has a different maximum.
I do however believe that once the max stat is achieved, there's no point upgrading anything else as it no longer changes performance. Only if you see a blue segment indicating improvement does it actually make a difference. Though the turbo does always add a turbo whine sound, so it's best to always first upgrade that, and only what you need to with every others.
So it's the problem of the game that you don't pay attention?
Holy shit at the social club website...you can even go into each missions and see all the pictures that people took during that mission... And not only that but it will actually show you on the map where that person was when he/she took the picture... It's like the geotagging stuff from Facebook or Instagram hahaha amazing.
No, it really is the game. Heck,
I think some of the characters comment on how they are lost as to who wants them dead
You can almost feel the writers try to scramble towards a conclusion in the latter half of the game. They are seriously talented at writing characters people care about, but they can hardly write a decent story. That said, it would be extremely difficult to write a story for a game of GTA V's magnitude.
I never had a problem following the story, but maybe that was because I only did the story and left the side stuff for once I had finished the game. I was just doing mission after mission and it was pretty easy to follow the story.

Yeah, I'm not paying attention. Just an airhead!

I'm personally loving it. All the shit that gets heaped on the main characters is hilarious, and they're just scrambling to survive. I've been able to keep the antagonists fairly straight along with the motivations. It does get a bit convoluted, yeah, but I'm finding it enjoyable. The storyline here is a hell of a lot better than GTA4's. I don't run into that ludonarrative dissonance thing, I'm finding the leads really likeable and not... bothersome as Niko was.
Michael and Trevor are just fantastic. Using old guys as the protagonists of GTA5 was genius.
The whole 'hipster' conversation was so goddamn hilarious.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I think the writers put too much faith in the player being able to read between the lines. I understand the protagonists' back stories and motivations, but I don't really get the
Steve and the FIB
They're simultaneously corrupt but somehow "doing the right thing" for the American people?
Cannot believe how insanely good the score is from the game. The music they made is insanely competent. Volume 2 is a must buy. Probably buy the whole thing tbh.
Yeah, the radio is a bit underwhelming to me, but the score is just perfect.
I meant from the super / sports cars department. That a truck won't be faster should be obvious
My favorite car for now (just because of looks) is the Benefactor Feltzer in matte black. So dope. Reminds me about my favorite car in GTA IV, which was the SULTAN RS, which seems to be lacking in this one. Only the normal Sultan is available, and I don't think I've ever seen one lol
I'm done with GTA V for now, which saddens me, because I kinda want to play more, but just ideling around isn't something for me. Did it today for a few hours and don't feel the need to prolong that. Back in the day I could spent DAYS in GTA III just driving around and doing stuff. I changed. #oldfart_feeling
Will come back for GTA online tho.
question regarding the last assassination mission for lester:
I invested all my money into GoldCoast before I killed the target, and now the stock has been steadily going up since his death little by little. It's up to like 205 and I feel like it'll keep going. Anybody know where it caps?
The way I understood it,
the FIB and the IAA(?) are trying to make the others look like fools, to increase their own funding, and their own chances of promotion. So Steve's actions are treacherous, but he's only sabotaging another American government organization. He thinks he knows, more than the IAA, what's good for Americans.

What a way to be remembered. I need to go back and watch the stuff I avoided before release.
RIP in peace sethos
Yeah, it felt kinda off. You get big pay - then starvation for an eternity and then big pay again. They should ahve given more rewards in that drought. Felt really stagnating.
Tho, you have enough money if you don't tune non-standard cars and buy any properties, which are useless anyway. (except for a few, but not for money generating)

I know they want to show off their physics engine, but the low health and lack of seatbelts makes for some irritating travelling.

I did the mission with Michael and Jimmy (mission spoiler)
Fucking awesome. What was the name of that song?
Then I hit the infamous mission with Trevor (mission/story spoiler)
I'm really hoping it builds from here but bravo Rockstar. Great mission, made a great point without being too heavy handed.
where Jimmy slips Michael some acid and Michael trips balls before falling out of the sky.

where you torture the terrorist.

I was messing about in Pasadena today and I want to see some DLC based on it!
Huh? That isn't the song he's talking about.

Rockstar makes amazing scores. I'm almost disappointed that GTAV is as goofy as it is because some of the more atmospheric Tangerine Dream stuff on there would make the game even better if it was a purely moody heist epic.
Yea I was kinda stupid and spent some money on a couple garages and car customizations expecting rewards for a lot of these missions.

When I saw Tangerine Dream on the credits I hoped it would be good, I didn't know they were still doing work.
Thanks guys, I always seem to have a mission as Franklin as well, I'll give her a call. (Although I'm sure I had and no answer)

It's funny. The game sorta ebbs and flows between serious, moody moments and then high-flying insanity. Like, they're casing a place
the bank out in the sticks
But man, the music is so good. Sets the music so well. Max Payne 3's soundtrack last year was utterly phenomenal, the best of the year, and I think GTAV's will take the cake this year. RDR's was beautiful. Even LA Noire, as utterly shit as that game is, the soundtrack was just beautiful.
No matter what, the soundtrack/score will always be worth it in a R* game.
I stopped playing for the day, but it looks like we're ramping up to another heist... and this one, man I have high hopes.
The actors in this game are so good. I'd be willing to just watch a movie of GTAV's story cause the actors are so good.

Seriously no ones phone Internet is fucked besides mine?
I'm loving the game so far (45% into it). Sure, there are things that could be better, things that could have been eliminated or fleshed out even further, but I can't think of a more fun open world game at the moment. I thought the story started out very well but then became a little loose...I haven't finished the game yet, so I'm going to reserve final judgment for later.
As odd as this may seem, GTAV reminds of Terminator 2 more than anything else (outside of previous GTAs). The LA setting, the desert setting, the vehicular chases, the gun fights, some of the set pieces, and even parts of the original score are reminiscent of the dark, melancholic, "metallic" feel of the Terminator 2 soundtrack. This is a good thing. I love that movie.

The theme that started playing (mid-late game spoiler) when
the crew busts out of the Paleto bank with fucking riot gear and miniguns blew me away

What about Downhill Domination?
Dammit. Was on a heist, died, and got the the infinite loading checkpoint for a second time. Had to reboot the game and it started be back before the mission.
That certainly took out the energy out of the game tonight. On the up side, I know I need to bring more rockets for it.

Hey where's the fancy haircut place? I found it once, now I can't find it again. Does it have unusual hours or do you have to be dressed a certain way for it to appear?
