Yep, happened to me too. So I hunted his ass and ran him down with my car.
Gotta show the man whose boss sometimes.
He just texted "Hahahaha! You're paying for my hospital bills!"

Did the BAWSAQ come back online yet?
Anyone try rubbing it? Scratching it?
Playing with it a little?

Vespucci helipad. It's noted on Michael's map, but might be on others as well. Worst case scenario, switch to Micheal and take a note of its location. There are multiple helipads there and most times one will be at the far end of the right side.
Edit: Location is here.

Bit of a funny one, but I like that visiting hookers regularly helps increase your stamina.
Nice touch. Also like that strippers send pictures after spending the night with them...

Niiiiice @ the credits ending on HEALTH's song.
Anyways, with the main missions out of the way after ~67 hours, I can safely say this was a good game, a very good game, sometimes great. I can't say it approaches "Game of The Generation" levels for me, or even GOTY honestly, but it's a good bounce back from GTAIV. I do feel there are a number of issues with the game as I've explained multiple times all over this thread that held it back, some of which shouldn't have been there anymore, and some of which are just missed opportunities. The narrative was weak as well, and wrapped up in kind of a lazy way. There are some good characters and funny scenes in here, but nothing that touches some of the interactions from RDR, and definitely nowhere close to the gravitas some of those scenes captured.
Here's hoping GTAV is a building block towards a deeper, more satisfying GTA6, and not a cap off leading to another GTAIV next gen.

After doing some Jimmy-watching, I think what is supposed to happen is he rides his bike to the front of the house, gets off then says the internal combustion line. For some reason he glitches into Tracey's car though.

Some beautiful person put all of Blaine County Community Talk Radio up on YouTube and now I'm cracking my ass up at work.
I can't get enough. And so relevant!
Including my favorite county western gospel pop song: "I like things just the way they are". That's at 59 minutes.

I fear I may have a bad state in my SP game. Near end-game spoilers:
I'm just after Yankton. Whenever I switch to Trevor at night he's in the Vespucci Beach apartment but the door to the outside won't leave. In addition the apartment looks nice and clean, as it was at first. A friend of mine, who was at the point just before Yankton, asked me if I had seen the mission where Trevor returns to that apartment and meets Wade's cousin's lady friend. I hadn't, and still don't see it available even as I'm nearer the end. Is this normal? Am I screwed?
So how do you unlock the knife flights? I completed the flight school which I thought would open them up but nothing's happened so far.
It's my favorite radio station by far. I love how Ron's show is basically Alex Jones meets Glenn Beck.

It is main story related, you'll see it soon enough.

Where is Trevor's safe house in LS?
BigWeather

Oh, I hope so...
Trevor's safe house is at the strip club. Which is really odd that when I switch to him at night he's always sleeping with Wade at the beach house.
Yeah, that's definitely some sort of glitch. You should have seen that cutscene by now.

Member
Ugh, well it's good to know -- I guess I'll just hope I have some save games pre-glitch. Did I miss on a mission or just a cutscene? I guess as long as it doesn't hinder my main story I'm OK.
Franklin rescued Michael and now Michael is meeting Lester and the FIB at the garment district
Thanks guys!

Something is wrong then because you would have seen the confrontation cutscene between
Trevor and Debra right before he moves to the strip club.
It counts as a mission, but it's basically just a cutscene. It's a great cutscene though, so just watch it on Youtube if you don't have a non-glitched saved game.
BigWeather

Yup, missed that. Was it just a cutscene or did I skip a mission (and possibly following missions as well)?

After the cutscene, Trevor and Wade drives from the apartment to the strip club.

Cool, sounds like I'm not out anything (other than the annoyance of switching to Trevor and being trapped (
probably because it is no longer his safehouse it is marked as a non-openable door
Thanks again for the quick help -- I'll just ride this playthrough out as I'm eager to finish and hit MP.
They don't show up, you just sorta do them inbetween buildings. It's annoying that they aren't on the socialclub website for whatever reason.
Ah shit that's going to suck. Thanks for letting me know though.
What are everyone's top 3 missions?
I'll take:
-Complications for the set up, absolutely genius way to introduce Michael's family
-The Paleto Score for obvious reasons.
-And finally The Wrap Up for the open world systemic fun.
Trevor had a bunch of great set ups as well, but a lot of his best moments were heavily scripted/in cutscenes.
Actually, I think the prep work for his dock heist was great.

Franklin has to "repossess" Jizzle's car for Simeon

I wish I had that "military hardware" stashed away somewhere, bomb suit armor ftw
-And finally The Wrap Up for the open world systemic fun.
It's the big FIB wrap up. I spent about 10 minutes being chased by that attack helicopter through Los Santos until I finally found an underpass long enough to get lost under. The best chase I've had.

Jumping off the train, crashing into the cargo plane with another plane...
I parachuted into the army base, which was a big deal that early in the game. And shooting the cables the sub was hanging by instead of crawling through that whole boat was fun.

Ok, I went back to an earlier save and checked out what I missed by that glitch. Pretty great stuff, glad to see it. Turns out it was a mission but even after completing it I'm not seeing it on my checklist on Social Club. Do any of you have the mission
on your checklist? Also looks like it didn't lead to any other missions opening other than the one that I had already done, so I may go back to my glitched save and finish the game.

I am trying to play the game but it prompts for an update and then my screen just goes black and I have to shut off my PS3 via the switch in order to restart it. Is this happening for anyone else?
Yeah, it's happening to me, tried pulling the plug and trying to update again about 4 times now. Still happening...
Happened to me earlier today. Wait a couple minutes after the Rockstar lights and stars intro when the prompt for the update comes up, it'll work. Somebody on the online thread told me about this.

You don't get anything from like 80% of the missions in the game. But you don't have to as long as you hold the Lester assassination missions until the end of the game.

This is embarrassing but apparently PSN signed me out because of a system update and I've been thinking it's been Rockstars fault.
Welcome back man. The stream was amazing :lol great way to pass the time that weekend.
What did you think of the game overall?
Why does no one seem to be criticising this game for basically leading a player on a leash for all the missions? Often times you'll fail a mission precisely because the game doesn't make it clear what exactly the parameters for failing a mission are, and if you so happen to deviate from the script the designers laid out for you than it's mission failure. Most of the missions are also preety much free of any critical thought because you just end up playing simon says with the objectives. "Go here", "Get the money", "Get back in the car" etc for pretty much every mission in the game. It's guilty of the exact same issues AC3 had and somehow that game gets hated while this game is heralded as being the best game this generation?
Not to mention It's incredible how bad the controls still are. RDR gets away with it somewhat by virtue of it being a more open space, but navigating interiors in GTAV is fucking infuriating sometimes. "No HURRY THE FUCK UP, go down the stairs. No don't walk backwards go down the fuckin steps, great mission failed" These kind of issues aren't acceptable anymore.
I still loved this game for it's story and open world, but I'd be a fool to praise the mechanics, controls, mission design etc.

While waiting for my deleted character to reappear, I tried my hand at making a short film with Michael as some crazed Trailer Park murderer in a 70's style. I really want the PC version so I could make it seem alot less gamey with the camera. It was interesting to say the least.

Is there any way to make the text bigger? My couch is perhaps 10-12 feet away from the TV, but I havent really had a problem reading text in other games. However with GTA5, I am having trouble reading the text on the screen, especially the mobile texts/emails and instructions that show up on the top left.
Any help would be appreciated, I would rather not sit on a chair in the middle of my den instead of the comfy couch.

I just watched part of the
"B ending."
How could anyone choose that option? It's so depressing. I know he's an asshole at times, but does he deserve to die? I don't think so. Especially after "reuniting" with his family... I don't know. It just seems like such a sad ending, considering Franklin and Michael got along the whole time. :/

1. The FIB raid on the secret lab. Badass underwater entry, reminded me of MGS2's opening.
2. Stealing the government's nuke. The actual mission didn't live up to what it was hyped up to be during the planning stage though, and completely fizzled when you had to return the nuke. They could have at least dragged it out over one or two more missions.
3. The final heist, the coolest part was escaping in the convoy, and it was the only time I was impressed by Mike's leadership skills.

Madly in love with it. Always been a GTA man but they really went all-out in some areas, especially overall atmosphere with the weather, lighting etc. I'm a sucker for that stuff. Seriously one of the best games I've ever played.
My only real complaint is the vehicle handling. The car handling grew on me but mainly because I turned it into a mini-game of swerving through traffic and high-speed chases which wasn't that much fun in GTA IV. Still love GTA IV's weight and how you could nail the corners with a massive, beautiful slide.
However the light vehicles like bikes, quads etc. they are terrible. Way too light, turn instantly on a dime and there's no real inertia to them. Can't believe this crap was done by Rockstar.
However as an overall product, fantastic. I just need a PC version as sub-30, 720p jaggie fest is doing the game no favours.
