How many heists are there in this game? I'm on the 40-ish % mark and there haven't been that many.

I remember how we were told right after the first mission that the people you choose have their stats levelled up after successfully completing heists. That feature seems a bit pointless if they're only going to be used a handful of times. I get the feeling that there were going to be more but they scaled back that idea.

Yeah and I also remember R* saying that there would be A LOT of indoor locations, but tbh I feel there aren't that many?

Hope the casino and horse-racing track will be made useable in DLC or something at least.

I think I went overboard with the exhaust pipes...

Make them bigger.
 
Just did my first heist, haven't even left the city yet and still got so much to look forward to.

I wish there were more side missions though, but hopefully that comes later.

Never mess with custom cars until end game anyways. No real reason to, need money to spend on more important things like ridiculously high properties.

This is wise. Apparently when you switch characters they lose your outfit of choice, cars, and location (last one isn't so bad as its comical).

Also I've decided to try to cover the whole map of GTAV with the helicopter. I flew over the base and lol. Despite of flying low like in one mission, I still got busted and chased after.

Whatever, I need to find that bounty hunter area. :(

I am at a side mission where you have to take a photo with the camera on your phone, but fucking Social Club thus Snapmatic does not work and thus I can't shoot a picture. Good fucking riddance, Rockstar. :')

You should still be able to take the picture, don't worry. I did it and it has been down for me forever.

Regarding the performance, I was someone who was pretty put off by the frame rate and aliasing at first. I'd just like to say that since then I've gotten used to it and it doesn't really bother me at all. Sometimes frame rate gets bad but it doesn't get in the way of the game. It can also look really nice at times as well.

question about a property
the hangar. when you buy the property, does it generate money? or do you only get money from the missions, or it makes money after you complete all of the missions?
 
Like a freeform, 'hey I think it would be cool to rob this bank so let me figure all this out on my own'? No, that's not a thing. They just kind of present themselves as the story unfolds as missions. Some are presented as feeling a little more organic though.
Man the heists are a blast. I suppose in GTA:O you'll choose between all the heist locations and set it up with friends. It'll probably be scripted. I was hoping to do that stuff in the main game with NPCs.

It's like I've said before, watching the game over someones shoulder you observe waaaay more than when you are playing it for yourself.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Police ruin the game. Sniping from a roof with a silencer NOBODY sees me but 1 star wanted level.
 
Whoa. Was curious about the like meter you have with strippers, so decided to get one all the way up. Didn't expect that :lol (though maybe I should have).

I always get the bar maxed out but then when I end the dance it drops down a little bit and nothing happens. I wonder if i'm just supposed to wait until the dance ends by itself but it seems to go on forever

How do I make fast cash damnit, I want to be rich rich and even more rich! Also it would be better if the three of them had single economy and access to each others garage, it gets abit of clusterfck when u enter a garage with someone just to realize the other one has the car you wanted to drive around with.

Ok, so I wanted to talk about some random moments during my last 3 days off of work playing this game. It has actually exceeded my expectations so far; I am loving it and this is coming from a man who thought GTA IV was the game of this generation; GTA V has taken that crown.

- I was doing the tow truck missions early on and Tanya was yapping about something after I did the mission for her. I kept thinking "I really want to be able to just knock her out so she would shut up." Well, it let me hit her with a haymaker; tried to take a picture of the pose she ended up in but the Snapmatic was down:( Still hilarious.

- The
torture scene
was disturbing but wasn't as bad as I read beforehand; I loved what Trevor did after it happened.

- I loved going to the Fame or Shame audition to
get Michael's daughter
and when I pulled up the guy said "you can't park here." It enraged me and I cold cocked him, which ended up being a part of getting a gold on that mission; so good.

- Driving in the open area up north; so much to see, jumps to hit. Seeing hikers at lookout points, pushing a few down the side of the mountain..their banter back and forth.

- Trying the triathalon was really cool; I finished in 3rd but need to give it another go as it was really cool.

- Finding that first jerry can and causing a massive explosion as I giggled and ran away after shooting the gasoline, watching the flames run up to the target area.

- The cop chases are SOOOO much better and organic than before. I have hid in places on foot that I never did in previous games because of this system.

- Everything at the strip club.

- Hearing "Rhythm of the Night" while driving around at night in LS.

So many more has happened but these come to mind. I can't wait to see the craziness that occurs w/ GTA Online.
 
Does anyone know how to start the Lenora Johnson mystery mission?

Wow, didn't know you could see the whole map in GTA IV. Makes you realize how astonishing GTA V's map is.

I'm a little surprised that R* skipped Vice City. They've traditionally done VC before San Andreas.

I can't wait to go back to Vice City next gen.

How is San Andreas in GTA V supposed to fit in with San Andreas from the San Andreas game though? Is this an alternate universe of the last gen games? A different part of Los Santos?

From my experience if the girl is into you she'll start talking about it once you max out the meter. Then end the dance and proceed with the
banging.

Hilarious glitch(?) happened last night:

So I went to an indoor shooting range last night to level up some shit. Well outside the shooting range there were cops and some commotion going on. Didn't really pay attention I just heard sirens and whatnot. So I went inside and paid to do the shooting range. Inside there was another dude just chillin and shooting some targets. Well all of a sudden three cops bust in the shooting range and shoot the living fuck out the guy shooting targets. They talked shit and then walked out. Pretty hilarious, poor guy.

Parked my extremely damaged car next to some guys van (I really like properly parking my vehicles I don't know why), I'm talking smoke coming out of the undercarriage and frame is smashed to 1/3rd of its original size. As I get out of my car I accidentally jump into the guy as he is getting into his van, and he starts swinging at me. So I deck him in the face so hard (franklins strength is maxed out) he smashes into the hood of my car and the vehicle explodes killing us both.

Funny, at some point I decided that Michael would be the one who hooks up with strippers on the side, and this was before the later story reveal that
he met his wife while she was a stripper and bought her implants
. The man just doesn't learn. :)

If you push L1 to shoot while unarmed (use square to cycle weapons in a car) you'll flip people off. Most people don't take kindly to being flipped off, I've gotten into quite a few street fights this way.

Wow, I tried every button on the controller but I never would've guessed it was unarmed L1.

Thanks amigo.


I think flipping the bird is L1/LB while in a car.

You too, buddy.

I don't get it man; you snipe someone out in the open, silencer or not and someone will call the cops when they see it. It is up to you to hide from the cops until it passes.

Franklin is ALWAYS at home. Such a pain in the ass driving down from there every time.


edit: anyone know why I've always got 1 branch of Ponsonby's stuck on my mini map with every character no matter where I am?

Dude, that is so awesome. The cops are so much more involved in things in this GTA.

One thing I miss, that I don't think you can do in this one, is stop at Cluckin Bell, Burger Shot, etc to grab something to eat.
 
i do like how everyone has a different pistol stance.


Are melee attacks different too? I felt like trevor can do some shit that others can't, or maybe i just like hitting people more as him (think he also has the highest strength stat)
