And that is why I am going with the 1,000 achievement. It seems so easy compared to other games and this being my favorite series, it is a must that I achieve it. First time going all the way too.

You can buy it after it unlocks at ammunation after a certain point in the story.
Strangers and freaks mission with Trevor, isn't it?
The border patrol dudes, I think.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Finished the game tonight. All hyperbole aside I can confidently say I've enjoyed this game more than any other game of this console gen. It was not perfect but it was pure fun. Fun is the reason I play video games and RockStar delivered truckloads of it to me.

Can't wait for online. See you there Gaming Age Family.

Man I cannot wait for MP...It's gonna be so fun scuba diving with friends to see who gets eaten by a shark first...
Going on a boat ride with friends and when they hop out into the ocean take off in the boat and leave them to be shark food...
So many possibilities.
It's an actual choice.

There are consequences.
Holy shit, I think this is all I have left. I am 68/69 on missions....

Some of the little things in this game that I keep meaning to call out and make note of:
- Ladders. Thank god ladders actually work. So many games getting onto ladders is so difficult, and GTAV just got it right. I love how your character will swing around if he's on the wrong side of it. They also adjust so that they get onto the ladder on th way down.
Ladders are something no game has ever done well. GTA V does them well.
- Love the highway "edge" warning things. Never seen that in a game.

There's a dock in the north/northwest of the map that you can purchase. That will spawn a submarine you can use to collect toxic waste barrels.
If you go back there as Michael, there's a stranger mission that will cause a red inflatable boat to spawn there as well. Both will give you SCUBA gear upon exiting them
The slide-down animation in V isn't as smooth as it was in IV though. Ladder mechanics would be great overall if that was the case.

I lost a Veyron with the garage bug. It was in Micheal's house garage and now nothing is in it and it wont open for me either 
Good thing I didn't pay for that car, but still lost the money from the upgrades ;(

So for example, if you have a staircase that goes multiple levels in a spiral you can just hold forward and Run and your character will turn by itself.
Yeah, I love the big highways. Really fun to drive.
They even sound different when you're on a street near one. Can hear the engine roar of all the cars going by. Especially if you're driving underneath one. Another one of the game's countless little details.

I had that garage close too. A while later, it opened back up and the car that was inside was still there even though it definitely vanished at one point. It's seemingly random, but don't give up hope

Thanks, I hope it comes back for me too.

It's such a simple fucking thing, but yet, somehow this flew RIGHT under the radar.
Does anyone have a capture card? Let's get this on Youtube, and not with my horrible camera phone!

For those of you that don't know this game is pretty heavily based on this Michael Mann film:
It has the same basic plot and soundtrack. They even named two of the main characters Michael and Frank after the director and main character and the composer is also Tangerine Dreams. It's a pretty rad movie too by the way.

Use water method, kill the bearded kinda fat man in red shirt.
That's really the only disappointment for me so far. To have the garage system be such a mess is a damn shame. I want to customize the shit out of some of my nicer cars, but I can't even be sure that I won't lose them.I lost a Veyron with the garage bug.

I have an Adder and a Vacca in Michael's Vinewood garage. Just hoping they don't disappear (knock on wood).

I don't have a capture card, but I did get a photo before it crashed.
Jimmy #1's face is perfect.
Adding to this glitch, the gardener has to be in that bush area and not in the front. I assume it's because when you kill him there, the family can "notice", and therefore jump up and be clone-able.
The family has to be at home too, preferably in the dining room close to the pool, but that goes without saying.

beat it. credits time. time for a snack.
a bit disappointed the ending thing took the whole game, but hey, good stuff. Don't think this is the best game ever, or the open world game ever, but god damn is this the best open world ever.
not gonna mess with 100%, but will mess with online if its interesting

So I'm making my way through the game and having an absolute blast, but there is one aspect of its design that I can't help but feel is a serious step backward for the series: linear, scripted missions.
Is it just me, or are missions much less open-ended than they were in the older GTA games? GTA4 was starting to go in this direction, but from my time with the game GTA5 takes it to another level. Pretty much every story mission (and even a lot of side missions) shoehorn you into using a specific car, taking a specific route to a destination, and then doing one very specific, scripted action after another.
Between missions is just as open and free as ever, but I have to say that I much prefer the more open-ended design of missions in the PS2-era GTA's. In GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas, your choice of vehicle, weapons load-out, health, armor... etc. going into a mission were all very important. The objectives were simpler back then than they are in the more narrative-driven missions of GTA5, but that allowed the player to approach them in a wider variety of ways.
It's really the most noticeable here when a mission starts you off and requires you to get into a specific car and stay in it until you reach a location, and I'd say that the vast majority of missions in GTA5 do exactly that.
Obviously Rockstar wanted to reign in the freedom during missions a bit in order to have tighter control over the storytelling, and that's a conundrum that hardly anyone in the industry has even approached solving as of yet. Since we still have so much freedom outside of missions, GTA5 still allows for more open-ended fun than most games could dream of. I just wanted to know if I was the only person who felt this way about the mission design in the game.

The fighter jet might as well be useless. There's no longer a hover mode for it like in San Andreas, making it near impossible to shoot specific targets. Another dumb oversight.

aww, that's a huge bummer. Loved that plane in GTA:SA and it blew my mind how it actually worked.

Wow, I take this back. Once he leaves, you are free to kill him and have the glitch happen. I think your family must be dead, because that's how they were when I left them.

So I am guessing you can't avoid this torture scene?
I loved it. I really enjoyed doing this, something I would never do in real life.
Then again I am a horrible person.

I agree. It´s much, much better. I have no idea how someone could prefer GTA 4´s driving.

Yep. I'd drive around the whole map in a fully tuned super car just because it feels so good.
And the sound of a Ferrari going through a tunnel or bouncing off its rev limiter.... Nice.
