Goddamn I wish the music from "Mr. Phillips" was on the score soundtrack. That rapid firing bass guitar riff is just so fucking sick and then when everything calms down and the tempo slows a bit, my balls almost explode.

There is a track called "Mr. Trevor Phillips" on the score volume, but doesn't sound like what you describe.

Man this fucking score is so underused in the game. :\

OK going to start playing this game today. What are some quick tips? Don't upgrade your car right now? What else thanks!

Only do one of the Lester missions when you get to it and save the rest until you have millions so you can make more millions in the end run.

Yeah it's not the same one, although the "Mr. Trevor Phillips" track is great. The one Im talking about starts up as soon as you Trev hops into his jeep after he kills

I'd like to know this too, especially since Franklin isn't even allowed to play tennis for some reason. So far I've just been smashing hoards of folk along Vespucci beach but it's barely increased at all.
 
This game needs a "Where's my car?" app for the cell-phone.

That or being able to use your car keys to ping your car. Get it to chirp back or whatever - I don't know what that's called ;P

Sports and getting into melee fights. Best place would probably be in Blaine County where the police are a little slower to show up after a call.
 
whats the point of maxing shit? high flight skill doesn't make my helicopter wobble any less.

I can shoot like a pro out of the gate. my thumb gets tired before michael does sprinting.

They say the stats do stuff... but i don't feel any 'growth'.
 
Beat people up.

That's be a lot easier if you didn't have to deal with the the fucking cops constantly ruining your fun. Playing tennis with Michael and Trevor is a good way to raise the stat, because you can play short games and increase it faster. But Franklin only has the options of playing golf and punching people.

Well maximizing stamina lets you be able to sprint infinitely.

I noticed that maxing out shooting allowed for less wobble during sniping and faster reloads.

Yes...
Speaking of GPS and phones... Where the fuck is the ifruit app. Tired of Chop shittin everywhere and being useless.
 
Just listening to volume 2 of the soundtrack and its almost ruined with very loud channel-changing static transitions at the end of each track. :(

I'm such a tit. Going back to my complaining earlier about the Hanger and Helipad, each character can buy them, Trevor comes with a Helipad and Hanger as part of the story already, but Michael and Franklin can both by separate Hangers and Helipads. Same goes for the marina, each character gets their own landing.

I'm such a boob.
 
A tip for using the internet, especially when trying to quickly check stocks. Instead of repeatedly hitting O to close the internet, triangle closes it instantly.
 
Just finished the last marathon....took almost 30 minutes of bashing X. So dumb and awesome.

It is pointless. If I hated myself, I'd play it again and see if you can be casual about it until the final leg and it still rubber band you to first.
Yah that triathlon was bullshit. How did yours go down? Mine was neck and neck the entire swim portion, I couldn't get a lead on them, the bicycle portion where in previous triathlons I would break away from the group just wasn't happening on this one. The pack would be right up my ass and in some instances get a super fast NOS boost and fly right by me. The running portion was the same too the pack was faster than me but I'd block their line and hold then back that way. At the final 100 meters the dude behind me got a huge un-human speed boost and I barely just won.

I'm not sure if this was all scripted but it was some bullshit. I thought I was going to lose during the bicycle part of it when one dude just shot ahead of me so far I was pissed.

Not doing that one again. The first two triathlons are fun though.

Some security guard went loco when i was sitting in my SUV in a dark alley, browsing the internet on my phone. It all ended up in the mountains with four stars and me getting killed.

Crazy....

What's the best way to upgrade the Lung stat? Just constant diving/resurfacing?

If you've played any third person shooters with a decent amount of success then first thing you should do is go into settings and change aiming from GTA Classic to Free Aim, increase the aim sensitivity and change crosshairs from simple to complex.

How do you prevent the characters from changing outfits? This basically prevents me from accomplishing the cult mission that Michael has to wear the robe for 10 in-game days.

Yeah that new info about GTA online makes it sound like Rockstar are fully expecting the launch to be a clusterfuck. Good on them for being honest.

I might just wait a week or two and keep playing the single player until it is stable.
 
So in terms of activities for online, are we expecting to get new stuff?

Clothing, races, etc. sure - but I want a casino or something!

I hope there's some element of story in the online too, even if it's just meeting NPC's before missions/jobs.

I hope you can make custom races. Really disappointing there isn't a long freeway race from one coast to the other.
