I love so much of the shit on there. I was riding around looking at houses that were for sale the other day. You can't actually buy them but could mark them on your gps and go take a gander (from the outside only).
Makes me wonder if these will be available to purchase further down the line.
I love how Trevor gives them the ability to put in all this crazy shit without breaking the immersion.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
So after many failed attempts I finally manage to find the jet in the milatary base. I get in and take off. It's tense. They're still firing missiles at me and shit. As I'm flying away from the base a missile hits me but I don't go down. Phew I'm thinking. I get out of their line of sight and fly around for a while to lose my wanted level(seriously fuck off with how long that takes Rockstar). So I'm thinking hellz to the yeah once I lose it. Just fly it back to my hangar, save the game and I've got a military jet. Awesome. So I come up to the runway and ever so gently land it. Then the fucking thing breaks down. IT BREAKS DOWN WHEN I LAND THE FUCKING THING! It won't fly. It doesn't even let me enter it anymore. All that for nothing. I'm not a happy bunny.

Is anyone else having problems with Rockstar Social Club tracking their non-mission progress?
These are all screens from my game, but the only one that stayed up to date for the 100% was missions, everything else stagnated at one date and won't update to reflect me completing them...
Also on a separate note, does anyone have a link to a post/guide explaining EXACTLY how to manipulate the Lester missions to get the maximum profit for all three characters? Just finished the game last night and want to do those now.

GTA: Pokemon Edition.
The only thing that seems to update for me is the overall percent completed. The rest(money, missions, top speed, etc) haven't updated in FOREVER.

Just an FYI - if you do a quick save whilst in a vehicle and the load - the vehicle will be good as new.
I'm not sure how the hangers work - does the jet actually save? I purchased a rhino tank and now it seems like any aircraft I fly into the thing don't save?

I don't think that the percent is updating correctly either, unless 4 missions take up 23 percent....

Yeah, the hiding is sketchy at best. It's a total diceroll if the cops will spot you.
I borrowed the copy of my room mate and it seems to work. I'm going to get a new copy tomorrow...
I am almost nearing the end of the game. I still have a few strangers and activities left. I've heard
. Does completing the game locks out anything? Can someone tell me without spoiling the missions/ending?

there are three endings
I only picked 1 ending, but afterwards I was able to replay all 3.

Just make a save point after the last heist. Spoilerish if you're really really worried about it:
Two of the options lock stuff out. It's advised you pick the last option. You can replay the other choices and view the other endings with the Replay Mission feature in the pause menu.
I did, it worked. Bush was tall enough to hide my whole body though.
Thanks!
It's a good way to hide from helicopters, but if the cops get too close to the bush, they'll see you.

As long as you hide in a bush completely out of sight from the police where they wouldn't find you anyways after a bit of a chase. I seriously cannot count how many times I found great cover soon after an alert and the cops found a way to find me regardless after what feels like an hour of them searching (on 1 to 2 stars).
On the mini-map your arrow will turn gray if you're adequately hidden. It will also turn gray if you switch cars without the police seeing you. With the driving if you're gray you can drive near them but not too close.
The TV is awesome in this game.
If you haven't taken a free hour or so, please just do so. The singing contest show left me in stitches.
Hiding can be inconsistent, but I have noticed that the cones don't matter as much as your own arrow icon being dimmed. just last night I hid in a small bush, I was visible until I stopped, ducked down and then I saw my arrow go gray. Soon, 2 stars to none.
I do hate the police algorithm in the game though.

It does, however it's finicky. If they're on foot nearby they can spot you if they're in direct line of sight. They'll search for you in bushes, and appear to know what bush you may be in sometimes. However I've lost the cops on a 1-2 star wanted level several times this way.
#37 When all three characters are driving in a van, they are acting out and lip-synching their dialogue, even though it is only visible when switching to the rear view angle
-This is actually true of all in game conversations. Including bounty hunter missions or whenever two or more characters are in a car.

There was this mission in San Andreas, part of the setup for the big casino heist, where you used a helicopter with a giant magnet hanging underneath it to steal an armoured car that was cruising along the freeway. You just swooped low over it and plucked it right off the road. It always burned me up that you couldn't use that chopper ever again outside of the mission. You could find Leviathans all over the place, but none of them ever had magnets. Then GTA IV came along and crushed the part of me that hoped for another chance at something like this in a GTA game.
GTA V, though? GOTForever. I just bought a Cargobob from the military supply website (it showed up painted shiny black), and the first thing I tried was right on the D-pad to see whether the winch on it actually worked outside of missions. AND IT DOES! I flew low over the freeway, hooked onto an SUV and took it for a ride between Los Santos skyscrapers, then hit right on the D-pad again to drop it from a mile in the air. I went over to Trevor's airfield to see if I could pick up his submarine, was delighted to see that I could, and then dropped it off in the Alamo Sea to explore. Unfortunately the Cargobob cannot land on water like SA's Leviathan could, but I'll make do.
Next time I'm going to try attaching a sticky-bomb to a car, picking it up with the Cargobob and dropping it like a manually-triggered bomb

Question about the private Taxi Fare trophy (spoilers)
I got the taxi private fare call and all of a sudden, I got hit by a car and got a text message it was inappropriate for me to do the job. If that's the case, will I still get the call or am I extremely screwed for that trophy?

I finally finished the story. Talk about an ending/last mission that felt rushed, it could have easily been several well planned and intense missions but I guess they had to make room for the ~20 junk missions in the game where you do almost nothing. I also felt like the heists were extremely underwhelming except for the first one oddly enough. The planning for them was doing tedious and simple activities that also counted as story missions when you finished them. As far as mission quality goes I think I have to rate this lower than San Andreas since there weren't as many memorable missions and too much filler in between the good ones. There's still too many go here and shoot 40 guys missions with nothing in those to spice it up but it is an improvement over GTA 4 still. Rockstar's slowly getting the quality of their missions back up to where it was in 2004.
I really enjoyed the game overall and it's refreshing to finally play a game that lives up to its hype and isn't a complete disappointment. I hope they make heist DLC packs down the road that are more diverse and have you doing crazier things then you do in the main game, preferably in some of the many areas of the map that we didn't get to go to.

Yes! Where is it?
There are (at least) two episodes of that. I sat down to watch after finishing up the main storyline and got a different episode to the power ballad guy I saw first time.
Heist DLC packs have to be a thing. They don't even necessarily have to include a new area - there's already a casino sitting right in LS.

Ugh, this traffic clone bug is by far the worst actual bug in the game right now, worse than the garage saving issues. This is terrible. The same SUV and jeep model everywhere I go with what feels like a 1/10 chance of seeing an area specific vehicle (aside from big trucks on the freeways). It's gotten worse the more I've played.
