which makes sense since Franklin's is the lowest to start

Final mission.
What a lame choice... How could anyone pick anything else than C? I saw the other two endings on youtube and they're even worse that I had imagined. And Franklin of all three should do this? A stupid character that serves no purpose in the whole game gets to choose which of the two awesome characters would die?? Get the fuck out of here!

Ah, thanks. Guess it's time to hit the shooting range.
I hadn't seen the previous post before mine, nice to know I'm not the only one who was foolish enough to think it wouldn't be rock hard and destroy my car today, lol.

Any idea how money works with the multiplayer?
I assume it will be split between 4 characters that each earn their own. But I'd rather it be combined.

Waiting for the PC version here, just have a couple questions I'm interested in. I've heard the damage to cars is significantly reduced in this one or worse? Is that true? Also what game would you compare the driving physics to? I loved the driving in gta4 so it's disappointing that they changed it back to cartoony sliding around, it's not a deal breaker obviously but I'd like to know how it was changed.
And how has the character movement changed? I hated that in gta4 it felt like you had to hold the analog stick in a direction for 2 seconds before the character moved anywhere, that was way too sluggish and ridiculous to me. Having to wait for animations to happen "fluidly" with real world physics taken into account instead of just doing it instantly. I like the realism with cars but not with character movement.

They dropped physics based movement.
I think even when you're crazy drunk it's just a different walking animation rather than physics based flailing.
A grand total of 0% needs to be completed to continue the story.
Dam it.
You're online character will have their own separate money like the three main story characters do, and that has to be earned by doing missions and such like online. GTAO is set before the story too iirc, so none of the events of the game have actually happened in the version of Los Santos you will be playing in.
It's actually better if you don't do any of it because then Trevor yells at you about it during the mission that you have to do to continue.

Came across a random event at a construction site
Took me awhile to figure out what todo and it was too late. Still a cool event that I haven't seen before.
30 plus hours in and it still surprises me.
a truck gets pinned down by debris and you have to clear it witha dump truck before he explodes

Well fuck. I decided to be an idiot and I completed all of the tests.....
I really hate the helicopter courses....
Let me preface with the fact that I think this is a great, great game.
That said, the following mission is so incredibly bad when taking into account some of the poor design decisions in modern games:
Who ever, ever, ever thought this was a good idea?

Bury the Hatchet, when you have to escape the graveyard; the game throws constantly spawning, bullet-sponge enemies at you. It grinds the pace of an extremely intriguing story reveal to a complete halt by re-introducing a group of characters who weren't even clearly enemies up until this point, had rarely been mentioned since the beginning of the game, and who are now pursuing you completely out of the blue with a confusingly bad lack of story context.

Couple hair styles as well as a SMG and a car.
That may have to do with his shooting stat. Hit up the gun range.

With Michael's special ability and tons of cover, it's much much easier than Max Payne 3's similar stage, lol. "Stop right there, Trevor's

Just sold H&L for $780,000 gain. It could have gone up more but all my stocks were in the toilet so I was like whatever and just off-loaded them.
Well you did get a text when you were heading to the mission site that made it painfully obvious that they were going to show up.
Difficulty is not the problem. I elaborated more in an edit.

Yep. I finished the game around 2AM this morning and share the disappointment.
Franklin didn't earn the right to have that decision.
other endings are atrocious. Watching them on YouTube makes it seem like they were an afterthought, written rather quickly to give you an "option" just for the sake of it.

I've noticed nothing cartoony with the driving, it's better than IV because you can actually drive straight without spinning out. The top cars are very responsive and you can always mod lesser cars to be responsive. Player movement is amazing and responsive as hell. Huge improvement over IV. Feels more like Max Payne 3 in that regard.

RE: Dropbear's criticism
I'm never a fan of
but I liked that mission purely because it allowed you to enjoy the shooting mechanics without draconian police interference.
What I'm not a fan of is a couple of missions later they have you
Same old GTA loadout problems that they failed to address.
The damage effects are significantly better in GTA V only your car doesn't fall apart like paper mache like it did in IV
I'm never a fan of
infinite-spawn enemies
What I'm not a fan of is a couple of missions later they have you
rescue Michael without letting you be prepared with weapons and body armor.
This was something repeated by dumb people so many times it became a rumor.

It's infinitely more playable than IV but it still gets pretty annoying in CQC because you have to baby-sit A/X to move faster.
This is exactly my point. Up until appearing in hordes in
a huge story reveal
I completed the mission the first time through... but I guess when someone criticizes the game you love there always has to be some cockamamie excuse.
I don't follow, you know that Trevor treated them like shit and fucked up their business and while you are
flying to the location, you get a clearly worded text saying that the chinese guys have been hanging out at the airfield and your trailer
Michael being Trevor's boyfriend, it was good for a laugh but then they had to repeat it 800 times

Also the damage is so good that tires can fall off, axles can bend ,etc. The latter makes it very hard to steer for obvious reasons. The no visible damage rumor was ridiculous.
Nope. You stated there were bullet sponge enemies and Im just pointing out that they're non existent.
I guess it would be better if what became a huge aspect of a big story mission was more well-integrated than a text message a character receives.
Also, about the enemies being bullet sponges: you can unload 4 pistol rounds into them and they still recover and shoot you while lying down.
Weird, in my game, all of those guys took exactly one bullet to be killed.
Aim for the head next time

Had an weird bug happen to me last night, the mission involving Trevor, a dirt bike, and a train.
So, I make the jump onto the train the first try, start driving down and looking for the engine, and after a few seconds I think, "Well, that looks like it, but why is it coming towards me?" Suddenly I'm knocked off the train, mission failed.
Restart the checkpoint, try it again, and then I get a better look: apparently Rockstar forgot to code into this mission that there shouldn't be any other trains on the tracks, because there was another train going THROUGH the mission train, in the opposite direction, and I was getting knocked off by the engine of the train ghosting through the train I was driving on.
Was beginning to worry I was going to have to quit the mission, because every time I restarted the checkpoint, it happened again. But after a few times, I guess the other train had finally passed, and I was finally able to get to the end of the train sequence... where it had a head-on collision with another train.

I don't have any ones in mind off the top of my head but I think they were trying to play the "surprise attack" card. It's in numerous gangster type movies, usually killing the protagonist or main love interest/well liked character.
I'm not sure it bothers me but at the same time they could have cut out the car boosting missions or adrenaline junkie missions and beefed up the banter a bit.
I'm 75% though and going to write a review next week if anyone is interested. If only to solidify my thoughts.

I like GTA IV better
Thats why you aim for the head. And different guns do different damage. A regular pistol might put someone down in 4 shots to the chest (thought Ive never witnessed that) but a combat pistol takes less. The advanced rifle does mostly one hit kills.
And a shotgun will always take someone down with one direct hit. Same goes for the sniper rifle.
Yeah, can't believe people thought damage was toned down.
Look at the mission he is talking about. There is a reason he said pistol.
Setting a waypoint is awful in this game. I'm really tired of getting near where I want to go and then all of a sudden being redirected down some highway or street that doesn't lead there at all. Quite frankly, the whole map system in this game should've been completely overhauled.
I know what mission he's talking about, Sor =P Michaels ability should be used to the full advantage there and with it, its incredibly easy to score headshots. Also, the pistol is pretty much instantly replaced with a better gun during that fight if you're mobile and concerned about "spongey enemies".

*Shrugs* It's pretty much Michael's entire story arc though - these 'circumstances'.
Set a waypoint and drive however you want to it, that's what I do, at least. I don't think the GPS has led my astray when I did use it, though.
After 70ish hours, I finally beat it as well!
I feel like I can come back to the thread to comment on it- but I loved it, even though I felt as though the [Last Mission Spoiler]
was way too rushed! Of course I choose the Deathwish- Option C, as I loved the dynamics of the entire crew together. To take out four targets so easily in one mission felt liberating but also illogically paced. All those guys had made each character's life much more difficult, so the fact that they helped clean each other's messes up was awesome. But I think it should've been broken up a bit!
I loved every second of it- I wish we'd have more heists to plan and execute. My crew was so damn good!
Here's to a slow, methodical progression to achieving 100% and savoring every second in Los Santos. Oh, and the [Last Mission Achievement Spoiler]
"To Live and Die in Los Santos" was so fucking boss. I kept wanting to hear Pac's "To Live and Die in L.A." on Radio Los Santos!

Agreed, I was doing head shots left and right
mostly right though because I didn't care about "spongy" enemies, it was obvious that you just needed to cut a swatch back to the car to complete the scenario I thought about using an AR that I picked up but the scenario was fine pistol only IMO

Which is a fucking amazing film, has ties to the GTA series and features one of the best car chase sequences of all time.
