Thank you. Just been standing here for minutes looking around. Almost started hearing the Snake Eater theme in my head on the way up.
There's a letter piece too, get it before you jump.
You can park it in your hanger. The tail will stick out, but it will save.Guys thanks for tips on stealing a jet!! It worked like a charm. Im sad you cant park it in your hangar though.. now my mission is to steal an attack chopper.
Haha same here.

I'm about 55% and I'm in a similar situation. I stupidly bought Smoke on the Water and have been playing catch up ever since. I love the game and all, I think it's he best GTA yet overall, but the money system is fucked. They should just put a disclaimer on the box telling you not to spend any money or touch assassination missions until completion when you can invest all your cash into shares.

Not with trevor..guess i need to buy michael a hangar.
I parked my jet in the
hanger Trevor gets after killing some biker guys or something. The mission where you're a sniper protecting one of your allies then jump in a plane and drop off some goods.

Triathlon was pretty neat. Got 1st place
Did Flight School for the first time. Knifing the plane is a such a pain in the ass. Oddly enough, I got a Gold Medal on all the plane missions (Emergency landing took a lot of tries) but silvers on the helicopter, parachute and final flight mission. Also flew my first jet. Couldn't turn that thing while on the ground And I crashed and died twice >_>

Is the ammunation discount gold with each gun type or every gun? Pistol challenge 2 and 3 seem impossible without the automatic pistol.
With each gun type.
Just finished. Playtime was about 30 hours. Random thoughts for those that are on the fence about buying it. As a reference, I thought GTA IV was just slightly above average.
+Heists are incredible, and make the game. Seriously, they're pure fun. Leagues better than GTA IV's bank robbery.
+The story is solid, for a videogame. The characters are interesting and well written, with the exception of Trevor at times and Michael's family.
+Lots of variety in missions. Outside of the first couple hours, you do so many different things. Really impressive.
+Switching between characters mid-mission is great. I loved changing up roles during a heist.
+The driving is spot on. Handling is good, and racing through traffic never gets old.
+Random events are refreshing, and something that should be in every open world game.
+The city is just as good as GTA IV, and there's plenty to do.
-The on-foot controls are still bad. Better than IV, but not where they should be.
-Combat is serviceable, but could definitely be better. Snapping to each enemy is unnecessary, but you can turn it off so it's not a big deal. Free aiming doesn't have the right feel though
-There's a handful of missions in the middle that I didn't really care for. I can't really specify them for spoiling anything, so I won't mention them.
-Everything involving Michael's family was poor at best. I couldn't stand them (although I guess that's kind of the point).
-Trevor doesn't really fit in with the rest of the game that much.
Even with some issues, the highs in this game are exceptional, and it's one of my favorite games of the generation. If I have to do an arbitrary score, I'd give it something like an 8.5-9. Great game, and a game that actually reflects the budget put into it for once.

Use LB and RB or corresponding buttons on PS depending on your button configuration for turning on the ground. This is also why you are having problems with knifing when it is easy if you use the rudders.

For people looking to 100% the map and having trouble with the ocean.
Steal the military jet, got to your map and place a waypoint in an area where you haven't visited before. It will reveal the map partially behind it.
Really helps when trying to find what parts of the ocean count for the map.

Does anyone mind finding these Easter Eggs?
Neither do I. Just turn and tap LB/RB repeatedly to maintain a level path.
Just finished the first heist
I'm guessing this means you shouldn't go for the guy taking the lowest cut when picking your team regardless of the way you are approaching the heist
the gun guy that I picked fell of his bike (I went for the smart option so thought I could go with the worst when choosing the gun guy), looks like it cost me a lot of money. Is that going to hurt me moving forward in the game?

You could have picked up the money by driving over it and no the the event is scripted. It will also happen with a more skilled and expensive dude.
I bought it on the U.S. iTunes Store last night.
guy fell for me too but I got his cut so it's best that he died.

Just got in a Heli for the first time and it feels like shit, worse than GTA 4's heli's even. Flying is a twitchy mess, and I was hoping Rockstar would make more use of the right stick for flying controls.

I'm not sure how to go about that heist without
someone crashing in the chase, because I've heard it happened to people with a decent gunman too, but you could have picked up the money by driving through it
you were behind him and saw it on the floor. And yes, money seems very hard to come by and there's really nothing comparable for income that I've seen so far. Michael got like an $800k cut from the first heist for me

Is there an easier way or exploit to level up lung capacity? This shit is gonna take forever and a day.
I've personally been to all 4 of those today. Pretty crazy stuff for two of em.

So Michael & Trevor can't get in on the stock manipulations.
To add another awesome Trevor quote:
A Tank? Really? For one Canadian?
I'm just going by memory for that one so it might not be 100% accurate.
They can if you "cheat" like Rebel Leader suggested. I don't do that though. I like to think of it as a little secret between Franklin and Lester, and the other two have to find their own way to make big bucks. They're rich anyway, so fuck em.

Just beat the game. Best GTA based on mission variety alone, unpredictable missions along with extremely well done pacing. Hilarious and heartfelt dialog, great chemistry between all the characters.
As for DLC/expansions, I imagine a early 90's Los Santos gang war related expansion would be awesome. Turf wars, drug stealing and selling, new licensed soundtrack/stations, an emphasis on upgrading your gang's skills and weapons. New playable characters as well.

These were actually my favourite parts of the game.
The stocks take a good awhile to peak so while you won't get as much if you quit after finding out which stocks you're manipulating, invest on all three character then restart the mission you can still make a pretty penny by imminently investing after you beat the mission.

Yep, PS3 won.
Is this what causes shadows on the 360 to appear blurry from 5 feet away from you?
So the PS3 doesn't have this problem?
Some missions in GTA V left me with my mouth open and stunned. San Andreas arguably still has the best unlocking/pacing of actual stuff within its world. If GTA V had three big cities it would've been challenging to make each city feel warranted for what goes down in GTA V, along with giving each city enough character and stuff to do as well.
GTA on next gen consoles is hard to imagine.
