says i need a seashark for the first sea race. so the other ones give you one? cars isn't a big deal but idk where the fuck to grab a seashark and whatnot
Although the soundtrack overall is underwhelming, there are a few songs that are great and I've been listening to them all day.
Yacht- Psychic City (Classixx Remix)
Wavves - Nine is God
Plus A.D.H.D by Kendrick Lamar but I've been listening to that song since it came out.

Maybe you need to buy a seashark first (on the internet), so it will appear at the start line.

I always mention this in open-world game threads, but if you're just wandering around, turn off the mini map and HUD completely. I can't speak for everyone, but I constantly glance at the mini map and removing it allows me to really appreciate how the game world looks. It just ... looks better.
An in-game HUD/map toggle needs to be patched in.

do all golds in flight school do anything? i don't see it on the 100% checklist
We have the same issue. If you check the leaderboards in Social Club, the medals are very inconsistent. Sometimes I have gold, bronze, nothing, then gold again.

Am I a sadist? this is the thing that ran through my mind as I ran through the 5 mile epsilon run through the desert to prove your worth segment. In conclusion, I did finish it...Fuck!

I've been free aiming since the start. The default aim is garbage it involves no skill whatsoever. Too automated.
Had a couple great Trevor moments upon switching to him today:
That did it! Thanks for the help! I am now 20 Gamerscore happier.
Trevor waking up, wearing a dress, on the side of mountain.
Trevor getting tossed out of the casino and telling the security guys, "I wasn't counting cards. I was cheating."

I have no idea why they made the simple reticle so insanely small. I wish I could have kept it, but I just couldn't see the damn thing.
well yeah...that's GTA4...and what Trevor/Rockstar is referencing...

hella bullets that's true
If I've learned anything from GTA radio, it's that you can't make a rap song without Kendrick Lamar appearing in it.

I just picked up a white girl prostitute with a Southern accent. After she got out she got on the phone with her mother telling her how she had 2 more auditions later that day. Jesus Christ man.

Dude there is an empty seashark for you to get on at every sea race. What is this?
spent like 2 hours straight for this
Damn, I have only golded a couple of those, very nice work man.
First thing I checked in the settings, you can switch between R1/R2 for shooting.

What other melee weapons can you get without needing DLC/cheats? You can spoiler tag the answer
I was hoping to get that wrench Trevor used in that one mission.

Got into a chase, knocked the police car out and the cop jumped into a civilian vehicle and chased back after me
Surprisingly no. Aside from the letter/parts/nuclear waste collections, this game has a pretty relaxed definition of 100%. I like that.

I think you can take as long as you want. I accepted the first one pretty early on in the game, and didn't capture the guy until right before I finished the last story mission.

Not at the first race. I did it last night and it told me I had to bring my own. I can vouch on this. All the others have one waiting for you.
I never owned one and competed all the races, I was sure the seasharks were available for all of them.

I'm wondering if someone can help me. I've never really been into the GTA franchise. I dabbled in a little GTAIII when it came out and finished GTAIV but never played San Andreas or Vice City.
I'm really loving this game, but am feeling a little overwhelmed. Should I be investing in properties? I've been going from mission to mission but have only bought the one hangar that was tool tip for Trevor. Can someone explain how the assassination missions work? Should I save them for later or do them as they come up? I'm assuming that whoever the target is, I should buy stock in the rival company before the mission and then after the target is killed I should see a bump in stock price or something.
Are there missable missions? I realize that you can switch between characters, but am I going to miss out on missions if I advance the story with one character over another?
I kind of just want to know if I can just play all the story missions and not worry about the side stuff and then if I can fuck around in the post game to do all the sandbox stuff.
It's just really weird, because the properties seem like a waste of money. If I save all the side stuff for the end am I going to be fucked? Should I be actively doing side stuff like triathalons or tennis or shooting range stuff to increase my stats or is that the stat boost going to increase naturally through the missions? I know I'll probably get the hang of it, but, honestly, this kind of feels like an Elder Scrolls game where I don't what I should or shouldn't be doing. Any advice would be awesome.

Yeah I'm not particularly impressed with the soundtrack either. Having Flying Lotus' The Kill on it is godlike, and Tyler's Garbage is cool but pretty much everything else is mediocre.
The score is great though. For some reason it is missing crucial tracks [loading screen music and the game's intro music both are abscent for some absurd reason]
I really hope they will release the radio stations in full over at iTunes or something.

Don't worry about the properties. They're pretty week. A few may be worth your time, but none are any big deal.
As for story missions: no real spoilers, but the answer is spoilered just in case people are concerned:
There are no missable story missions. There are some you can play different ways, but there is an option to replay those in the missions.
As far as the bolded goes, you assumed correct. Wait a little while to do those. Once you have some decent cash on your dudes, then do the first one to get a little bankroll going (make sure to dump everything on all three characters into the stock that Lester tells you to) and then save the rest of his missions for when you're closer to the end.
Stats don't seem to be that big of a deal, to be honest. I haven't spent one minute doing activities for stats and I haven't had any problems. Maybe it's just something for completionists, I dunno.
And no, I don't believe there are any missable missions. Once they come up for a character they stay there until you finish them. That goes for main missions and the side quest ones (strangers and freaks).
So I did a couple of assassination missions but I just had another pop up now. Should I hold off on that one until the end of the game when I have money or did I miss my investment opportunity in the earlier ones?

I was exploring the Vinewood hills to check out the sign as Michael and randomly found Chop just chilling up there by himself. He just went on his merry way, scaling the mountains.
Love that dog. Wish they made more use of him instead of making him rely on that broken app.

Not sure if my game glitched or not :/ Was doing the Kliflom mission that follows you turning in all five cars where you use the
when the power went out. I'm back in now but the mission just won't pop back up, checked two of the cars and that mission seems to be finished. Never got the thank you email though.
Any tips?

Are you sure it was Chop because a lot of dogs in the world use that same model. I made the same mistake in a small town. Saw what I thought was Chop, went over to it, and it started going at me and I ended up with another 5k hospital bill.

Dogs can be vicious. Second only to cougars in this game.
