Hawk And Little is finally on an upswing. Now to see how high it will go before I chicken out and sell.

They're both great. MP3 gets extra points for being mixed better into gameplay (audibly)
Red Dead might trump them both, though, in terms of technical and cinematic/dramatic use in-game.

It's you. I've seem them climb up fire escapes to get above me, hide behind trees, roll out of the way of fire, flank me.
It's really impressive.
Yup. Bully's soundtrack was phenomenal.

I love that Trevor keeps changing the name of his meth and gun operation. I've heard him call it Trevor Phillips Enterprises, Trevor Phillips Industries, The Trevor Phillips Corporation. The Trevor Phillips Conglomerate...

Regarding losing safehouses...
At the end of the game, each character only has one safe house. Franklin loses his Aunt's place for the Vinewood mansion. Trevor has a temporary safehouse at Floyd's for a while but that ends at some point.

Ram isn't the same thing as hard drive space.

Trevor loses the Vespucci Beach one. So in the end, each character has one safehouse, except for Trevor who still has his trailer in Blaine County in addition to the club (which I hate because you can't run around in it).

Beforehand, look for entrances to the metro and mark them as Points of Interest on your map so you'll know where they are when things go crazy. Going deep into the train tunnels is a great way to lose the heat at any star level.
At 3 stars and above, hiding in places like parking garages also works wonders, as long as you're not seen entering in the first place.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
The rectangles with the colored bars on the side are the ones that count towards the 100%.

Thanks.
So that means Franklin keeps his Vinewood mansion, Michael keeps his house and Travor his old trailer?
Edit: Thanks Dick Justice.
Ahhhhh I see.
Look for the ones that have a red coloured line on them. These count for 100% which is tracked above.
Because of the ending and how it works they made it that you can get 100% regardless of what option you choose. In reality that means getting 100% is more like getting 80% in this game.

What? On the PS3 version shadows very clearly become much sharper only a few feet away. It's super obvious, there's like a line just ahead of you where they get a dramatic bump in resolution. Pretty sure both versions are basically indentical in this regard.
Don't spoil anything, but can you end up not being able to do certain things after completing the story? Should I do everything I can before doing the last missions if I want to make sure I get to do everything the game has to offer?

EDIT: Double, thought for sure someone would have posted since my last post!
Also I found a glitch in a Suburban store. With Michael I tried on some skater shoes and it gave me a suit instead.
Yes, Michaels connection with that gets explained as part of the story, it isn't something you really know beforehand besides what you might infer.
Um, did I just fail the first bail bond mission forever? I started chasing the guy in his SUV, but I didn't have any pistol ammo so I couldn't do jack shit, so I restarted, but had to quit in order to get ammo. Now I'm back at the quarry and he's nowhere to be seen. WTF Rockstar.
This game's going to force me to use a guide for the car delivery and collectibles and I'm not happy about it!

Bought the digital version at launch day but my mother got me the gamestop collector's edition as a birthday gift. Was regretting not getting a physical copy so this was a nice stroke of luck and surprise. It's actually a pretty cool package, and goes nicely with the GTA IV Locker and duffle bag. Bummed it doesn't have an art book or soundtrack though. It's going for around 230 on ebay at the moment so it's particularly good luck, not going to sell this like I did Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition.
I can play as Niko Jr Online now so huzzah!

The missions where they force to drive a
are like the antithesis of fun. It moves so fucking slow and they make you travel around long stretches of nothing.

these fucking cops, fun killer.
Other than for finding collectibles, isn't it only used in one mission?

I love the aggressive cops, it makes chases feel so much more dynamic and fun to play out.
Spoiler for midgame Trevor

I was about to do that, then I randomly found the one you're talking about driving near the golf course while playing as Trevor. Jacked it, drove over to Michael's house, luckily he was there. Dumped it, switched to Mike, ran out of the house, got in the car, and then Trevor yanked me out and insulted me. Switched back and worked some things out between them and got the fucker delivered.

if it's the vacca, it's one street downward in front of franklins vinewood hills house in the driveway of one of the first few houses there.
I'd like to know this too - I've been told by a bunch of people that everything stays open, but the posts on this page seem to imply that some of them actually do get locked off. Anyone?

I'm 32 hours in and halfway through the story.
I've done a whole lot of driving around exploring the city and still haven't discovered it all.
Also fuck that last triathlon.

I'm so reluctant to spend any money in the game. I want to just wait until after the main story, do all the missions that tweak the stock market and maximize the money I get from that. It feels like it's hard to accumulate money outside of the story missions, so I want to make sure I can get the max possible. I'm certainly not going to do, like, airplane drop missions for $7000 when dying costs $5000.

P.S. Holy shit at the character transition with Trevor where
He rapes Floyd and Floyd is left in the room crying

I took a nice selfie-pic of the aftermath.
He was my favorite GTA4 protagonist too, but I felt it was a brilliant introduction to Trevor.
My new ride in it's natural environment.
I really hope Rockstar finds a way to patch that bug soon because pimping car is too much fun.
Took a Rebel into the customs place, but had none of the options to pimp this out. I'm about 25% through the game, so at what point do the options to pimp a ride to this extent become available?
I just got to Trevor, and wow, I can already tell I'm going to hate his guts. He just reeks of them trying way too hard to create an over the top, completely nuts character, and he's incredibly one note. Maybe he'll get better as the game goes along, but I'm not a fan so far.
terrible intro, but wait. He gets a whole lot better. I hated him at first too, but now he's my favorite.
