Hmm, I know what missing is next, are you sure there isn't some phone call mission meant to happen for one of the other characters? Have you tried calling Michael with one of the other players? If not, take Trevor to Michaels house and see if that starts anything, i know either of those two starts the next mission.

Michael's phone is constantly engaged, and his house is shut right up. No open windows, garage is locked & front door is locked. Michael has disappeared.

I last left Michael snooping around Franklin's house, after dropping Franklin off after the previous mission.

Thanks for trying to help, but I think I'm going to have to face up the possibility that Rockstar have dropped the ball big time with this GTA:O update, and messed up my save game. Of course, I should have had a back up save, so I didn't have to run the risk of this happening... lesson learned.

Soooo...after the online update my single player is fucked where I can't change my character from Trevor and I can't start any missions. It sounds like this issue is hitting multiple people, can anyone direct me to where solutions lie?

Has anyone had the online patch break their main story progress?

I installed the patch yesterday, tried to play online a few times, failed, and then started playing as Michael. I'm at 55%.

The next main story missions showing a "T" and "L". Trying to avoid the Lester assassination mission for now...

The "T" mission is right around the corner from the Vanilla Strip Club. I've gone to it with all 3 characters (it shows on the map in all 3 colors and is labeled Trevor), climbed the building, tried everything. Can't get this mission to start/launch/progress.

Is my save broken? Or is there something else I need to do? I can't find anything else to do except side missions (which work).

Thanks.

I'm reposting my rant from another thread, had too much coffee, whatever.

Reminds me of the "perfect game" TLOU. Got to Bill's town, the game literally stopped showing. (Things around my character started dissapearing, then the game stalled.) Deleted all save files, and played back to that point, same thing happened. Reset my ps3's hard drive, same thing happened. Played the different versions 1.0 and 1.3, same thing happened. Bought new copy, same thing happened. None the less, this game is considered by many to be perfect.

Now there is GTAV with the garage glitch, and a spotty at best online, which somehow got past the legions of play testers and reviewers who gave this thing a perfect score.

I'm sorry, but doesn't a perfect score indicate (at a minimum) that the thing at least performs correctly?

When Citizen Kane was released, there weren't any problems with the reels of film it was printed on, neither does the blu-ray stall when I load it into my blu-ray player.

Game developers who want this industry to "evolve" should be wary of this fact.

After IV only had, what, 2 different different kinds of flyable aircraft (both helicopters), it's great to have a GTA game where there are a whole slew of aircraft. You can even fly the jumbo jet! (Press Y or Triangle while under the wheels)

You just compared GTA V to what is commonly referred to as the best film of all time. The two are entirely different forms of media.

If the game can't function the way it's designed to, if you bought something that doesn't work the way it was intended, it doesn't deserve a perfect score, regardless of how good it is. Give it a 9.9, whatever. Just not "perfect."

I compared it to Citizen Kane because of all the jokes recently about "Citizen Kane" moments in gaming. My point was that if these reviewers want to hand out perfect scores and laud praise on a game, that game, at a mimimum, should function correctly when released.

A Perfect score can mean anything it damn wants to a reviewer.

And my irony meter just exploded when you whined about poor game reviews and then tried to compare a video game to CITIZEN KANE.

So yes, in a sea of ridiculous posts, yours stands out.

I tried really hard the entire race thinking okay this last one they upped the difficulty. Then you get to the bicycle section and the AI has fucking random NOS boosts where they fly ahead of you and disappear into the distance. I swear near the end of the cycling section I said ok no way im winning this fuck you rockstar. Then I arrive at the running section and the dude is just standing there waiting for me to arrive then he starts running. I manage to get ahead of him and then the last 5 meters the dude surges right behind my asshole and I barely win. I swear rock star scripted that entire race to piss you off.

In a sea of bad grammar, your's stands out.

Yet again, I compared it to Citizen Kane because of all the recent humor, combined with the fact that many consider it to be a perfect film. Part of that perfect score is the fact that it worked like it should. I understand a functioning video game is a more complicated process than a film, however a perfect score shouldn't be given to something that is imperfect. The score is up to the reviewers discretion, but when all the dominant voices in the industry (I'm looking at you, IGN) call GTA V "perfect," then that's what it is.

Yeah, it's super weird. I had to do it twice because I accidentally quit out, but the first time I was actually in first during the cycling. The second, I was in third for most of it and the guy in first was MASSIVELY ahead. On the map he was basically 2 entire streets beyond everyone else and I still kept getting passed by nitro cyclists. Then I reached the running and somehow got in first place right away and made a solid lead.

Same thing is happening to me but I'm stuck on Michael. I heard reloading an earlier save might work but it didn't for me. I also read somewhere that it might work if you call one of the other playable characters and hang out with them it might work when you drop them off but that didn't work for me either.

Post game question:

I got an email from Don Percival from Merrywather thanking me for taking out Devin and saying he could buy back stock from his company from the temporary low price and make money back. Does the stock go back up, how long does it take?

I rented this game from Redbox and spent about 3 hours playing it yesterday. Dear God, this game is extremely boring. I don't say this to stir up commotion, but I legitimately found myself struggling to play any further. The last mission I did was the one where Michael's son sells his boat, and quite honestly the missions seem just as boring as they were in the previous GTAs. Drive to X pick up Y shoot Z mission complete. Or drive to X chase Y kill Z mission complete. Or escape X go to Y pick up Z mission complete.

The world seemed really well realized from the short amount I played, but I just can't get excited about a game whose missions are so utterly mundane.

Yup, everything will be as it was outside of the story missions, I will give you one spoiler though incase it isn't clear when you get to that part.

There seems to be a lot of this kind of scripted wrong place at the wrong time type stuff designed into the game.

Why the F should I get arrested for hitting Y getting out of a cab? Just take $5, obviously wrong button, who the fuck plays GTA to rip off cabs all day. I get off 4 stars after a mission, try to chillax a cab to finish the mission. Get out. Run for my life... again. Lose mission. WTF?

More importantly.

FIX the cab ride. THIS is the stupidest thing I have EVER seen. You can't hurry it for shit. It just gets stuck onto other cars, and it seems that it tries to. Like R* scripted this in to prevent you from hurrying cab rides. WELL DON'T PUT IT IN THEN.

The AI behind the cabbie is the worse I have ever seen, it is 100% broken.

Funny, it worked perfect in Liberty City , where one might think it would be harder to implement.

The oversights in this game really hurt.

just skip the journey, it isn't a huge extra cost and I can't say the cab ride is enjoyable in anyway.

Twice I have skipped and never got back from loading screen.

The cab rides were enjoyable in IV because they actually worked. The cabbie would haul ass, he did not care, women, children, curbs or grass, he was getting there, fast.

I have to admit, as soon as I beat it, I got bored of it when I went back and popped it in again to do a few side stuff and see the post-game events last weekend. I'm not even going to touch GTA Online until it gets patched. The game does have indeed have the same old rote mission designs as past Rockstar games.

However, the Strangers and Freaks missions are pretty varied and the heists are pretty fun so I would say to give it a little bit more time to warm to it as the game opens up more and more. Given that you've said you're not a fan of the series numerous times, maybe your enjoyment of the game isn't going to get any better.

Lol I remember those cabbies in IV being ruthless when you chose the hurry option. I agree in V I've barely noticed any kind of speed boost and they follow the rules of the road which is kind of boring to watch. I always skip and have never had a problem.

Don't think so but I did the same. I rammed him and overturned his car against a rock. He got out and was thrown under the car when a tire blew and sent the car down a level crushing him. Was hilarious.

You've barely started the game. Do a couple of heists before you write it off.

I think this is my main issue. My enjoyment of the GTA games subsided significantly after Vice City, which I consider to be the best GTA game. Maybe I've just outgrown this series? That would be pretty sad, but it's the one reason I can think of that would explain why I didn't enjoy SA nor IV.

That sucks you can't restart but oh well. If you kill one does Maude no longer work with you? I've been waiting for a while now for her question mark to show up but nothing.

Just finished GTAV last night. It started out GOTG for me, ended up top 5. If only the helicopter/plane controls weren't so god awful.

At any rate - I really enjoyed the cutscenes. I know some gaffers thought they were boring but I watched them all. The characterization was just so excellent. There is one particular exchange between Trevor and Franklin towards the end of the game where Trevor is threatening to kill Franklin one second and then asking for a hug the next that I thought, damn, between this game and TLOU, voice acting, animation, and characterization were one some of the real evolutions this gen.

I like the plane controls, once you get it down you can make sharp turns using knife/rudder. It's helicopter that I'm struggling with, particularly landing them (it's such a clumsy process)
