I really wish I knew about the quick save thing before doing the stunt jumps.
P.S. Fuck the stunt jumps. Especially that
one.

Majorly sorry about this, but I'm quoting my post for the new page.
I'm not sure how I all of the sudden feel so lost. It's almost like I missed a mission.

Don't know if it has been mentioned but apparently the guy who plays Franklin used to be a rapper IRL named Solo, famous for knocking Ice Cube out and stealing his chain:

FF to 10:00 mark
And on top of that, Ice Cube mentions Solo in his song "You Know How We Do it"...which is featured in GTA V.

The game has a bad story. You did not miss any missions.
It's been ages since I've played GTA IV, and I realized that I actually haven't finished The Lost and The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
How would you guys compare difficulty between GTA IV and GTA V? I remember just using cheats since I didn't even get trophies for the original game, so it was easy. Now that I want to earn trophies, I'd rather not use cheats while going through the stories again.

So I just started
and for some reason once Franklin asked
the cut scene just stopped and went to Michael walking to a car.
I figured out what
is, but is that normal or did I just hit a button on accident to end the cut scene?
the big one
"Whats the big one"

Well, got enough money off the BAWSAQ to buy the golf course on Micheal so I did and the pausing and loading up a mission or strangers and freaks mission to replay still works. Kept my money and put it right back into HAL and Pisswasser. Franklin has over 258 million now and totally pointless to have that much money. They better add more garages to SP because it's incredibly lame to have so many vehicles you can buy and not have room for them unless you remove cars you already have.
That one was ****ing awful, whomever was responsible for the stunts in this game needs to be slapped.
It was explained, you must have missed some a cutscene or some convos.
GTA V has been harder for me but that might be just because I've been using free aim while in previous GTA games I always used the locked aiming. Beyond that, you could take more damage in GTA IV and previous GTAs than you can in V.
Yeah, quick saved before most of them and beyond that I used one of Franklin's modded cars so they could absorb more damage and sometimes did use a motorcycle. You need to control your speed, which was for the most part my biggest issue. It's stupid to require you to land in a specific area and then have height and distance measurements. They also did a sloppy job with them, IDK why they didn't include the message if you already did the jump, all you get after doing one you already completed is a message that says "undefined" which makes it look like they forgot something.

Just beat it -- amazing.

Can we see the end-game credits once done? They're beautiful.
Easily GotY for me. Hard to say where it stacks up for me GTA-wise. Clearly the most beautiful, almost certainly the best world, and pretty darn forgiving with mission checkpoints and such.
were really neat. Last-gen GTA has a special place for me, though, mind-blowing at the time and hard to separate from the nostalgia I have for them. This definitely tops IV & EfLC.
Game of the Generation? That's tougher. Definitely on the short list. In for PS4 day one as well as the inevitable cheap Steam release as well.
Option C here

So I'm watching the credits and I haven't seen some of the places in them -- like that covered red bridge. Amazing, what a huge, varied world.
As soon as you climb on board, try flying as low as you can and head towards the sea. When you are far away from the base, climb towards max altitude and wait for the stars to go away,

The FIB covered Michael faking his death, so he owes them
Trevor was torturing the guy because he's Trevor - best person for the job, since it wasn't going to be Michael. I guess it keeps the FIB's hands clean too.
The torturee was this foregin guy that the FIB had railroaded believing he's a terrorist. The whole FIB plot is a parody as to how the gov catch terrorists and how torture will get you any info.
Mike sniped the guy he called out because that's what he was told to do? TBH we don't know if the guy was really guilty, all we know is that the FIB thought he was, or wanted their superiors to think he was.
No idea about the miltiary weapon thing, it's been a few weeks since I played it. I think it's because Trevor wants a big score and also is happy to piss off Merryweather. He has an 'in' at the docks due to Wade's cousin. It's funny, it's one of the few times the protagonist has agency ("I'm doing THIS!") but it confuses the audience because nobody told us to do it.

Don't spin, bank. I steal the plane from the hangar after driving in, usually got a 5 sec lead, allowing me to take off low just as the cars turn up. As soon as you get altitude, start banking and weaving as hardcore as possible while gaining height. Once you're high enough you'll lose your stars easily.
Also, I really don't think you need to spoiler that there's a plane you can steal. You were vague enough.

Still no acknowledgement from Rockstar on this issue :\ Even a little 'we're aware and looking into it' post would raise my spirits.

I'll try to give it a shot:
Michael is working with the FIB because he is forced by Davey. Michael's "retirement" wasn't exactly done by the books, and if he doesn't help Davey the entire thing might get exposed. It's basically leverage, which is why Haynes can pull Michael's strings as well, resulting in the sniping/torture mission [Michael was nothing but a hitman]. The guy who was rescued and then tortured has information on the target, which is why you rescued him from the agency only to get him tortured by Trevor. Why Trevor? Because he's a sick fuck that doesn't need a reason to torture someone.
Just go with the flow, my friend. That segment felt very tiresome to me because of the narrative dissonance, but it will iron itself out along the line.

Finally beat the story and I must say BRAVO! Rockstar. Loved every minute of it,gonna go through the story campaign again before I check out multi.
End of story spoiler:
End of story spoiler:
So I killed off Trevor and now regret it Didnt even think it would disable all of his missions. Sucks but oh well. Anyone here kill off Michael or Franklin? How did the killings go down?

I kept all three of them alive. You'll miss out on stuff like Trevor's mum missions turning up now. And she is hilarious.
Franklin is the only one who doesn't have a death ending as if you choose option C you would have kept all three characters alive

Weak. He caught me sneaking up to him, but for some reason just stayed cowered in his little carriage, so I hurled a sticky bomb into it and... boom!
I finished the game yesterday and thought it was pretty good but it had some issues.
I think the game had way too much shooting and the controls are a bit too clunky which doesn't help the experience at all.
The game world is really big but the the fast travel system is really bad. You have to call a taxi because there's never any around then you have to wait for the taxi to arrive, which takes way too long.
I liked the characters' chemistry together. How they interacted with each other and their banter. I think I probably liked the cutscenes more than the gameplay...

A strong theme in Franklin's storyline is looking out for your homies, I thought the game was basically telling me Deathwish was the only option for him. If I didn't give up on Lamar I sure wasn't giving up on Michael or Trevor
Hi guys, I wanted to know, does the game (retail bluray version) fit on an empty 12gb ultraslim PS3 ?
Apparently the install is 8 gb, but I was wondering if there might be any surprises, maybe if there's additional download required for the online mode (which is the main reason I'd buy my own version of the game, since I've been playing the campaign on my roommate's 360).
Thanks

Thanks Jedeye Sniv and SJRB, that helped quite a bit!
Edit: Oh my last question, did they explain how Franklin and Mike just innately know about Trevor's dock heist? I know PHOENIXZERO said they did, but I seriously can't recall that happening.

I don't know about install size, but there have been 2 updates on the ps3, 39mb each.
So who else fucking loves the TV shows in this game? I think spent an hour watching them -- everything is so perfect. My favorite is the detective fighting the communists in Vinewood lol; nonstop laughs were had. Commercials are great too -- my favorites are the Redwood cigarettes for kids and the windmills killing birds

I would guess that Lester told them?
I timed it at 2min15sec on my PS3.
Still better than going back to find another car/bike I guess but it still gonna take me way too long.
Just quick save right before attempting the jump and reload if you fail.
EDIT: Definitely quicker than 2 mins. Are you loading from in game or going back out to the main menu first? Mine usually take under a minute, often closer to half a minute.

You're making me want to time my PS3, because I'm sure it's waaaaaay quicker than that. But it would involve me doing something
I guess I will find out for sure when I do the stunt jumps soon.

Has anyone else beat it and having a hard time finding the motivation to 100% it?
I may aswell start the story again.

He recruits Franklin after doing a mission with him and Lamar involving dry wall disguised as a brick of cocaine. You fight a bunch of Ballas and escape on jetskis. I believe he recruits Michael just by calling him up and saying "you owe me".
Yes, that one is funny as well. Crazy how much detail R* put into this game, yet most people won't see half of it. Hell, yesterday I explored some BEAUTIFUL terrain that wasn't noticed for 50 hours or so lol.

Hell no brah, I'm on the road to 100% now and loving it. Finally finished up the letters and spaceship parts last night, just got stunt jumps, knifeflights and half the radioactive barrels left to get. Then some other fun stuff like golf and shit. I did the half hour triathlon yesterday too, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I need to get to 100% so I can join in the easter egg hunt. Gimme dat jetpack R*!
The webpage is a little ahead of the game one. You can use that to your advantage.

They're pointless now.
Stunt jumps used to be integrated into the environment, now they're just there to be there.
