Ditto. Even the missions that didn't result in monetary rewards were rewarding because of the additional narrative progress. Every story mission feels rooted to the motives of the characters or related to things the characters have done, or the consequence of the characters actions. Sure, it bites the characters in the ass sometimes but this is the first GTA game that it doesn't feel like I'm running chores for other characters instead of advancing the plot (except for the side missions).

Why can't I use the Internet in this game?!!! Seriously making me upset. I have no idea what's going. It just disappears after a second
It claims my fastest is 207.53 mph in a Banshee but that must be a glitch since it doesn't seem very fast. 2nd most (which is my real top speed) is 139.61 mph in an Adder.
Also, I just started hanging out with some of the other characters and while it's completely optional, there's some great dialogue that's worth the effort if you're looking for additional story stuff. Ditto with LifeInvader and Bleeter. It's not mandatory but there's occasionally things in there that just add more to the story, like with Franklin's ex girlfriend.
That mission reminded me of Uncharted 3.

The "I Fought the Law" mission was fantastic. Ripping down the highway in high speed cars listening to Trevor as he impersonated a cop the whole way. Hilarious.

Lol, there are many people I know hating on Trevor because he

I love Trevor the character I just thought that the way they
killed Johnny was disrespectful to his character
It remains to be seen what I think of him after the story wraps.

That's my favorite thing about this game. It's so easy to just spend hours exploring and seeing all the sites and doing all the activites and just fooling around. Most games I tend to stick mainly to the missions and side quests and then go back and explore after, but with this game it's pretty typical to spend a few hours not even touching a mission. I can only imagine what it's going to be like once GTA Online is up and running.

They are definitely there. I used a bomb inside Michael's home to see how the family would react. They all died (but still in the game) and a crew of firemen came inside the house.

Yeah, it's one of the links under the transportation heading on the internet start page. There's I think 6 or 7 to choose from, ranging from around $500-$3000 if I'm not mistaken.

You can buy many things online.
Cars, boats, military vehicles, etc. It's in the "Travel" tab in the home menu of the browser.

There seem to be a lot of secrets/easter eggs in this game but I really hope there's an Batman AA style secret that people don't find for months.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
7:30am... Still no sleep, work in 25 minutes :lol
Can't believe I'm heading to work with zero sleep.. This game man!
NEAR ENDING SPOILERS
I really REALLY DONT WANT THIS GAME TO END :,( haven't felt this way in a long, long time... Such a brilliant game. Hopefully the ending-mission and the ending itself is just as good! HYPPEEEE!
Got something to look forward to at work now..

Haha!
As I'm walking to the bus station and morning traffic is all around me, I feel like grabbing one of these pretty cars and take it to work
Fuck
GTA man
I'm with you man.I finished the game today and am a little sad. Even though it took me about 33 hrs, it felt so fast! I think it might be the GOTG for me. Possibly even the GOAT.
Honestly, I don't know how Rockstar can top this game...I loved everything about it. The story, the setting, the characters, the insane 007 type secret agent shit missions. You know a game is great when after you finish you long for some more because the characters are so well done.
While the credits were running I almost felt like the game was too short, then I checked that it took me over 30 hours. That's how you know a game is amazing.

Currently @45 hours, and nearing the end of my first playthrough. Awesomely enough, the time spent on each of the main characters has been split up almost perfectly!
Franklin: 14h
Michael: 16h
Trevor: 15h
LOVE the balance

THIS.
In the settings there is an option for a complex crosshair.

So are the specific side quests only for each character? Like rage only for Trevor, etc?
Damn...

Crow meet dinner plate. After the somewhat slow opening and crazy bugs I experienced in the opening few hours I was ready to write off GTAV as another overhyped Rockstar game, but after playing it for several hours now it's fucking fantastic.
My completion percentage is only like 20 percent and I've only done one heist so far, but it already feels 10 times more engrossing than GTAIV. It hasn't reached RDR levels yet, but I can't stop playing it. I unlocked Trevor recently and just fucked around with him for several hours already. Michael was/is great, as is Franklin, but Trevor feels like a Hunter S. Thompson character on steroids.
I think what really hooked me was some of the random events that took place and one of the missions I did tonight:
I have so many questions though. I'm really liking the story, but I want to take a step back and fulfill some of my OCD min/max tendencies. What should I be spending money on? Properties give you weekly income, but you can also do manager missions. Are the manager missions infinite? I bought a property as Trevor and did about five or so missions, but wanted to move the story along. Is there a set number of manager missions with each property? I don't really care about clothes or anything or car mods. What's the best way to go about improving your stats? I haven't really tried stuff like tennis or the shooting range. Is it a grind to improve your stats/skills? Is hunting hard for anyone else? I don't have problems shooting the game, but
Are missions missable if you don't switch between characters? I tend to stick with what the game gives me. Also,
The only thing that has really disturbed me and made me mad with the game and that I thought was really tasteless and just Rockstar just trying to outdo Rockstar is - Cue Impotent Liberal Rage -

I think what really hooked me was some of the random events that took place and one of the missions I did tonight:
I was going to go hunting when I stumbled upon on something that looked like the opening scene of No Country For Old men. A bunch of cars and dead guys and a drug deal gone bad. I got to grab the cash and the last guy alive says not to do it or I'm dead. Sure enough, seconds after I grab the cash I realize it's an ambush and I get killed by guys on dirt bikes. Then, as I'm driving to do a mission, I see another random event unfolding. There's car overturned in the median and the driver is the only one left alive. I stop and pick her up, Trevor deciding not to take her to the cultists and she tells me she was a driver on a job that went bad and got stabbed. I like to listen to the driving conversations before actually driving because I want to soak everything in. So she's telling me about this job, but before I realize it she bleeds out and dies in my car. Just before I stopped playing tonight, I decided to take a break and watch the television. I watched this Fame or Shame clip that was completely lampooning American Idol and America's got Talent. Little did I know that the next story mission involved actually crashing Fame or Shame. It felt so organic and awesome.

the mountain lions and cougars kill you with one hit. It was some PTSD shit when I got taken out by one of them, because I remember them from RDR. But in RDR you at least had a horse that would sacrifice itself for you. The two times I've tried hunting, I've been one shot killed by those bastard cougars
Are missions missable if you don't switch between characters? I tend to stick with what the game gives me. Also,
how do the bailbondsman missions work? I got one as Trevor and was told the guy was last seen at "the quarry" but there's no indication of where that is?

There are actual side missions where Trevor goes on rampage killings and the goal is to kill as many people as possible. It just feels icky. The paparazzi stuff does too, but the fact that there are missions that have Trevor turn into a mass rampage shooter is kind of off putting

I really wish they added or will add some form of heist side mission. Planning room, choose from various stores/banks/etc, prepare, crew members, approach, etc. I've completed the game 100% and have no way to make millions. Properties generate money weekly but I want to buy the rest of the properties and properties alone will take too long. The stock market may be the way to go but we really need a tricks guide for that. I did the TacoBomb trick but I didn't make as much money as I thought I would. It's a shame you can't farm the heist missions. Replaying missions doesn't give you more money or affect your stats at all aside from the mission stats towards their respective medals. Plus wish there were more action-based, unlimited, side missions. I just recently learned you can hang out with any of the protagonists and they'll help in a gun fight. So that's cool that I can pretty much "recruit" them. But I wish that feature returned for regular NPCs.

Eh, it's not like they're not all trying to kill you or anything. V actually had the most tasteful implementation of the Rampage mission yet, if such a thing could ever be called "tasteful". At least you're shooting gang members who're shooting back instead of innocent pedestrians like past games.

I find it hard to fathom that so many people have never finished the story in all or any of the 3D GTA games. It's like the first thing I focus on. Especially since in past games, progressing through the story unlocks parts of the world and features/side missions.
and I couldn't store it. I have all the hangars.
Yeah, really. I finally obtained the
Hydra or the Lazer as this game calls it, got out alive
