Perfect shot of my Trev during the lightning storm of "Friends Reunited"



Also, the mission where this track occurs:

If you manage to make some noise during

the sticky bombing of the Lost trailers

this song comes into play.

 

[Papercuts]

Any tips for choosing members in future heists? Do the stats of associates truly matter in the the end result? Which job is most important to get at a high-level for smart and loud (Those are the only options I've seen thus far)?



That allocation seems rather balanced!

Yeah, I was surprised how close it all was, haha. Pretty cool.

The heist stuff doesn't matter too much unfortunately. You don't have enough chances to make it really matter, but when the times comes it always seemed like the cut difference wasn't big enough to matter too much compared to how crazy the stat differences are between people.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

The Epsilon/Triathalon missions are hilarious. They're some of the only video game anti-jokes that I've ever actually enjoyed the existence of.

Looks like being stealthy has its downsides.

 

[leng jai]

I can't believe anyone had the audacity to say this had Max Payne 3 like controls. Despite how bad they are the thing that keeps me playing is the colour palette and lighting. It's just so good.

 

[Dick Justice]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same person involved in that monstrosity of a triathlon.

And probably the same guy who decided on not having any rewards for the side content.

Oh yeah, it's probably been mentioned ages ago, but there's a glitch where you can buy properties for free, as long as you have enough money.

Spoiler

Buy property, then replay a mission as soon as the cutscene starts (masks for example, is one that lasts for maybe 20-30 seconds). When you finish the replay, you'll have successfully owned the property for free

edit - warning:

Apparently it glitches the Mckenzie Hangar though, rendering you unable to do the smuggling missions.

Just got introduced to Trevor. Haha, this guy is great.

 

[Psychoward]

Is it just me or is the parachute color glitched?

 

[torontoml]

Having never made a thread for a game what would someone expect out of a GTA V stock market thread. Nobody else seems to be getting it together, or if they are they haven't spoken up about it.

So I figure I mine as well give it a shot, but I'm not sure what would be expected of me and my OP.

 

[Derrick01]

I hope the missions are going to start getting better fast. Around the halfway point of the game they really start going to shit and becoming more like GTA 4/Red Dead's, aka really basic go here shoot guys or drive someone here. Don't get me wrong there's been some good ones too but they've been few and far between ever since I got around the ~34-36 mission point. I'm at 44/69 right now for reference.

 

[t26]

Instead of chasing after the guy in the first bounty, I use the sniper rifle and blew out his tires. Then he tried to escape on him and I just punch him to capture him. I love the freedom in this game.

 

[Stoze]

I'm not too far in, but this is probably the major annoyance so far, along with the fact there's no off-HUD gps system. You would think Rockstar would have taken no-brainer cues from other games to fix these things, including their own, but I guess not. RDR's gun play was more satisfying.

Oh shit really? Well then, I'll edit my post.

 

[Pestilence11]

How, have you just been walking around?

There's so much to see and do outside of missions. GTA's always last me forever. Well besides IV.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Is there not a way to wear the unique outfits you have in some missions? Like boilersuits and Trevor's port outfit for example.

 

[Dick Justice]

The dialogue when talking to Ron outside of Trevor's trailer is pure gold.

"Ron, you're awful in every way"
"In every way, Trevor!"

"You're a creepy, paranoid, wreck of a man"
"Thanks, Trevor"

"You really are a sad excuse for a man"
"The worst excuse, Trevor"


Also, guy above me, you unlock most of these outfits after finishing the game. Only outfit you don't unlock that I'm aware of is the firefighters uniform.

 

[MYeager]

What settings are you playing it on? Turn all auto aim off and turn up the aim sensitivity to the highest. It's not at the level of Max Payne but the enemies shooting from the floor, exit wounds and the way the screen flashed on enemy deaths are certainly things taken from MP3. Playing as Michael and slowing down time to rack up headshots was certainly a familiar feeling.

It's no where near the level of technical excellence of a game that revolves around just third person shooting, but it's a step ahead of what the games usually are.

I have to go through every line of dialogue when I see Ron. Then I pour gasoline around him and set him on fire.

I suggested this a page or two back but got no response. It sounds like a great idea, as BAWSAQ seems to be the only legitimate way to earn serious money after finishing the game. It would be very helpful to have all of our combined information, stock tips and stats in one place for discussion.

Do you have to pay his hospital bill if that happens?

 

[DukeBobby]

Do you have to pay his hospital bill if that happens?

Yes.

Worth it, though.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I think you get most of them. Maybe you have to beat the game?

You get them in your closet when you beat the game.

Spoiler

Depending on whether your character is alive or not

 

[Dick Justice]

Yes.

Worth it, though.

Lol. Well, despite the verbal abuse and physical threats, at least Trevor pays for his employees' health insurance!

 

[lem0n]

Do I need to buy the golf course for 100%?

 

[DukeBobby]

Do I need to buy the golf course for 100%?

Nope. You just need to buy any 5 properties.

I would make a thread but I'm just concerned if people would expect me to constantly update the OT, I could possibly spend a couple hours making a worthwhile OP but I can't see myself updating it at all.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Can I do the Strangers and Freaks stuff later? I won't lose them if I don't do them now right?

 

[shawnhi]

Spoilers, I guess, just want to know if there's more to the rumors since I can't find anything Googling....

Spoiler

Is there any more info on the alien UFOs, bigfoot, sea monster, etc? Do you just find the UFO in the ocean and see it above the mountain after 100% and that's it? Or are you able to interact with/see/kill aliens (other than Michael's smoking trip), bigfoot, sea monsters, etc?

 

[torontoml]

Can I do the Strangers and Freaks stuff later? I won't lose them if I don't do them now right?

I don't know for sure, but I'm currently at like 50/58 and No other question marks Have shown up after completing the story.

 

[Avixph]

I'm want to do the

Spoiler

Epsilon: Bearing The Truth Mission

, however the icon is not appearing on the map

Spoiler

,and yes I paid the $10000 that are needed to activate it,

can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

I for one am so glad they kept the GPS stuff to the mini map only. I am not a fan of huge arrows in my driving path.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Those with a PS3, is it just me or does the framerate get really bad at times?

I don't know about "really bad." I mean, I just finished a game of NCAA 14, that game has a shitty framerate. Ever play the original Mass Effect on 360? How ya like that shit? It's all relative, really. I think it runs fine. Old consoles.

 

[Dead]

HAL up to $6. How high will it go???

 

[Data West]

Watching the voice cast credits

not seeing Tara Strong, Nolan North, Troy Baker, Jennifer Hale, Rob Paulsen, etc

 

[shawnhi]

Also, disappointed with how I heard everyone say the age old GTA problem of "getting in a car > suddenly everyone is driving it" is no more. definitely not the case.

 

[weekend_warrior]

HAL up to $6. How high will it go???

I'm seeing $5.24.

 

[uberluigi]

Hmmm pictures are not saving, saying that my account isn't enabled online... How do I enable it?

 

[Lunzio]

Much of what you have left involves collectables

Your Rockstar social club account? i think you get an email sent to verify it, then you can link your console user account to it.

 

[Nori Chan]

my kingdom for a pirvate fare call from the taxi cab place i bought years ago

 

[Bunta]

I'm seeing $5.24.

Has been showing up different in-game for whatever reason.

 

[Pestilence11]

I'm seeing $5.24.

Same. I hope it's $6.00 in game because $5.24 would be a minor loss for me.

Aaahhh damnit lol

Shit lost my first modded car. I didn't know about the bug before tricking out a Lambo clone. Around 80k FLUSH
