Well, I bought a crap ton of stock in RMC. I've been sitting on it until it went up in price. It did today!

But the stocks I spend 200,000+ are missing!

Hurrah!

I'm trying to have fun with this game but it makes it near impossible. I'm in blaine county trying to get back into the city. There aren't any cars near me so I'm running down a road which is beyond tedious. I finally jack a car, but a cop had spawned behind them. Immediate one star, then two stars for god knows why. I can't lose them and end up getting shot to death and I'm all the way back in blaine county. Back to running down a road. I ended up bad mouthing a citizen so they call the cops on me and it takes about 3-4 minutes to out run them and hide. I've never had this much trouble with cops in a GTA game before. The cops have always been a joke, but now they are a fucking police state.

Just fast swap to a different character who will probably be in the city.

 

[ndawgdrake]

Hey, has anyone experienced what seems to be a bug (or, more likely, I'm just being dumb) where Franklin jumps out of a moving car when in special mode? It happens pretty frequently to me and it's incredibly frustrating when evading the cops, especially when I die because of it. PS3 version by the way...

This never happened to me. Maybe your controller is messed up or you're inadvertently pressing triangle.

Trevor only mission, I think.

Can they be bought? It'd be a pain in the ass to have to scavenge around for more.

Yup, by the internet browser. It is required for a side mission.
I wonder, does it not save it to your "Closet" if you already wore it?

You can't call for a cab in Blaine Co? Cuz calling a cab and skipping the ride seems to be the fastest route for long travel.

LMAO. just noticed that.

WTF? There's molotovs?....now that is rare.

Just wanted to share some pictures.

Draw Distance in this game is amazing. You can even see the Ferris wheels at the Pier from downtown!

I haven't redeemed my voucher for the blimp yet. Thinking of selling it. Is it any fun?

Really wish I could interact with this thing!

Very LA-ish building.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

UGH! Finally got a car, outrunning the cops(always), getting on the freeway and my car seriously scrapes the side of the concrete barrier.. totaling the car by locking the wheel. I seriously barely touched concrete. It didn't even make a crunch noise, it made the glass shattering noise.


I'm sorry, I know I'm bitching beyond belief. But this is such an incredibly frustrating experience. GTA is my favorite series. I loved GTA IV. But this one is like everything I'm trying to do the game is either fighting me or I'm running through quicksand.

There's nothing to understand, they're terrible. I just did that mission as well, and it took me a year to do what you're talking about. Try to be as delicate as possible, and quickly press the D Pad when that message pops up.You don't have to be perfectly aligned.

I eventually got it but you're right, you just have to be extremely delicate and patient. Between the goofy controls and turbulence it gets frustrating real fast.

From the office of Dr Isiah Friedlander
Client Notes - Highly Confidential

Terrifying. Deluded, lonely, desperate and vain.

Cannot make up mind - seemingly about anything.

At times can really embrace his hypocrisy.

Classic consumer, trying to fill spiritual void with material possessions - should try to sell them a lot of my books, CDS etc.

Creepy with women.

Feels need to buy sex - probably for obvious reason - is required to buy it.

Family focused - not sure why.

Greedy, prone to gambling - likely cause of addiction - remember to sell book.

Possibly worst psychopath I have encountered.

Seems to be full blown kleptomaniac.

Seems to like yoga - I'd ask for my money back!

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Picks up lots of weird people.

Not bothered with tasks they deem 'boring'.

Bizarre case study in excess.

[criesofthepast]

Wait from flying school? I really don't get why people find this hard. You just go vertical, and tap LB/RB to stay level with rudder...

Noooooo. The flight school is easy. I'm talking about the 15 special ones you have to do between specific buildings in San Andreas. It is an achievement/trophy (all 15) and necessary for 100% (8 of them.)

They are not super easy. There are 2-3 that are very tight and incredibly annoying since you crash = tedious trek back to get plane and try again.

I'm using the stunt plane. That or the jet plane are easiest.

Michael> Trevor> Franklin

You sir, are correct.

 

[Darkman M]

How? He has the personality of a wall and if he forgot how to say the N word he'd only know like 5 other words. Rockstar did a really poor job writing him and his lines.

Not really, it's pretty authentic of how dudes speak in the hood.

 

[Buckethead]

Say what you will about Franklin but he has the best special ability in da game

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Yeah, I was about to go back and edit my post. Franklin's special ability is far and away the best, and Michael's is probably the worst. It's pretty much a reverse of how good the actual characters are.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Agreed. The dialogue involving Franklin (and less so Lamar) really isn't nearly as "bad" as I saw people make it out to be before I played.

I love his biker outfit with the black gloves for robbing security trucks. A street bike, and his special, and you're in and out before they know what hit them.

He needs to stop hogging those strippers.

[malfcn]

Ran into the Tinkle friend mission. If I skip him will he show up later? Or is it a do it now or forever lose him type of thing?

If you fail random encounters they'll repeat again in the future.

To be sure..if I drive by him and he calls out: "Hey pick me up!" and I ignore him, a day later or so he will be there again?

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

STUNT FAILED

ARGH! Did the rest of the stunt jumps today... This was very, very, very annoying. As long as you land tires down and meet certain distance or height requirements it should be a success, the whole requiring us to land in a specific area was pissing me off.

Scooter brothers !

Nice to see the inspiration of this.

SCOOOOOTER BROTHERS!

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.

It does go pretty overboard with it, we get "clones" because of memory limitations, I'm sure it's a bug at least not entirely. I took a pic fairly early of having a road filled with the same model SUV and maybe one other car.

Say what you will about Franklin but he has the best special ability in da game

It's pretty over powered compared to Michael's level one Dead Eye and Trevor's Rampage mode that'll leave him a dead man the second it ends unless you're running away or get behind cover, heh.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Nah, there's memory issues, which I understand, and there's what's happening in GTAV. This is a bug. There was a LOT more variety on the road earlier in my playthrough. It's, literally, a dozen of those SUVs/jeeps on screen at any random city block. Then you jump on a highway and all you pass are SUVs and jeeps with the occasional big rig or commercial truck. The only way to escape it is in Sandy Shores where cars spawn 1 at a time, and it's usually an old busted classic. Once you're on a major road the traffic's bugged again. Even up in the Vinewood hills I see 1 sports/super car for every 4 SUVs. I don't even see taxis anymore. Incredibly annoying.

 

[Papercuts]

The jeep thing is definitely some kind of weird glitch. I've only had it happen once in 70 hours of playing atleast, but I have no idea what causes it as it happened to me in rich neighborhood.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I love his biker outfit with the black gloves for robbing security trucks. A street bike, and his special, and you're in and out before they know what hit them.

What is the general plan for it? Haven't done one yet.

Just scoot up, throw C4 on back of van, grab stuff and drive to somewhere quiet?

To be sure..if I drive by him and he calls out: "Hey pick me up!" and I ignore him, a day later or so he will be there again?

Yep, they respawn until you successfully complete it.

Always carry a grenade or sticky bomb and just kill yourself when its going to be too much of a hassle to get around it.

 

[Fjordson]

So what's the deal with non-safehouse garages? They seem to be working so far for me *knock on wood / crosses fingers*. Have a Vacca, Adder and Voltic in Michael's right now.

Safehouse garages have been a little wonky for me, though.

Really wish I saved before the last mission.

Grrr.

 

[malfcn]

All I have is a Lester mission for Frank. I thought we were able to save them for the very end? I do have a B mission for Mike. Maybe something will pop up after that.

Switched to Mike and he is in bed with his wife trying to start some action and gets pushed off, poor guy.

 

[King Tubby]

Franklin is awesome just for his special and his association with Lamar, who I just discovered is Slink Johnson. He plays Black Jesus and is part of Tubesteak's entourage on youtube. Funny as fuck.

Also, I'm just trying to have a friendly tennis game with my wife, Los Santos. Can you not get into a massive shootout with the cops while I'm on break point?

 

[Papercuts]

All I have is a Lester mission for Frank. I thought we were able to save them for the very end? I do have a B mission for Mike. Maybe something will pop up after that.

IIRC you have to do the first Lester mission, but the rest can wait. I would do the Michael stuff first to be sure either way though.

 

[Discotheque]

Franklin's the least interesting of the three. but because he has little identity compared to the others. he's just a yes-man until the end when he starts finally forming his own opinion and dissing these fools.

lamar so good though. would have much rather played as him even though it wouldn't make any sense for him to be mentored by michael lol.

Safehouse garages have been a little wonky for me, though.

I've never had an issue with the bought/social club garages, only ever the safe house based ones.

I bought all classics for Michael, great for cruising in the hills...Stinger, Monroe, DB700.

 

[malfcn]

Nothing like tearing down an open stretch and clipping something to be ejected from the car and wasted. I guess we don't wear good seat belts.
