I like the touch with Trevor where you can't take Jimmy out for drinks or to a strip club when you two hang out, and if you pass by a bar (none are highlighted on the map), Jimmy will ask to go in and Trevor rebukes him and says "not on my watch."
A man of great moral fortitude.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Oh, so Trevor IS a hipster.Thought it would be awesome to post this.
Wondering as well.
Hipster implies some youth. This man is straight eccentric. Or classy. I'll go with a class eccentric.

So are people playing the 360 version noticing huge differences between streaming from the disc and installing to a flash drive?
I realize installing to the HDD isn't even an option but is it worth grabbing a flash drive for this?

Ha! That's hilarious!
Hey, speaking of maps, how come Michael's house is not appearing on my map? I'm at the point where I can go to see Lester.
Nearly 30 hours played thus far and I'm still finding new ways to be surprised.
Last night I start a Franklin mission and somehow end up with Trevor washing up on a beach and having to climb a mountain to get back to the city.
It was a fantastic mission that has a minor optional portion near it's conclusion that you hear on the radio not long after.
After switching back to Franklin I decided to take the Bugatti north of the city to see just how fast it is (very) in open space. I knew I was close to where I had previously dropped off a stranger I had picked up named, Ursula, and that she had given me her number, so I gave her call. She picks up, tells me where to meet her and we go back to her place. Time shifts forward as it does for many of the missions and I walk out of her front door in the morning.
There's a set of stairs where my car is parked that leads down to a tiny dock facing a lighthouse. It was overcast and had just started raining, so the waves were picking up. With the way the water was crashing and the lighting it almost looked photo realistic. Look at this shit......

Is there a confirmation that the data that requires the fastest access speed is on the play disk?
Rockstar might have already thought of that and put that data on the install disk.

where do you buy sunglasses?

Clothing stores and Ammunation both have displays. Walk up and it should cue you to browse the sunglasses.
I found some at ammu-nation of all places.

All over. I'm guessing people who ask this are still pretty early in the game. Even some of the Ammu-nations have them. Be patient you'll find them.
Every one of the shops (except Ponsonbys) has a rack (sometimes two!) that you can approach.

Thanks for the sunglasses responses. I've completed the first Heist and now have access to all the characters... I've been shoping at the high end suit store and not seen any glasses in the display cases. I will check other stores / Ammu-Nation as you've all mentioned.
There is my problem.

So.. running into an issue.
Start game from the XMB, game loads up to the splash screen that says "Loading Story Mode" and thats it.
Not music, doesn't change splash screens. The little icon is sitting there spinning saying "Loading Story Mode".
Great.

Whenever I drive through secluded/posh areas I think of how awesome a serial killer DLC would be.

The issues with the Social Club do have me a bit worried for when GTA Online drops in 10 days. They have such ridiculous sales that I don't know if they have enough infrastructure to keep up... If this were published by Microsoft or Sony, sure, but does Take2 really have enough purchasing power to ramp up the server load for the millions of copies of the game?
I think they'll have it figured out eventually, but when this doesn't work on Oct 1 and people run into tons of errors, the game is going to get lambasted.
Hoping they can get it working by then. Although I don't remember there being lots of issues with GTAIV online and that was some 5 years ago.

SHIT. Random Mission spoiler:
I come across a chick next to the highway with a crashed car next to her. I won't tell you her story, but she's hurt. So I'm taking her where she needs to go and she's telling me her story, but I get there and there's still dialogue. So I do doughnuts for a bit and she finishes. I drive the 10 yards to the marker, but by the time I get there she fucking dies in my passenger seat.
I'm pretty sure I missed out on a crew member because of that.

Honestly I expect the online to be an unplayable mess when it launches.

My (mostly ignorant) thoughts on the matter are that maybe they're having niggling server issues now because they're busting ass making sure everything is perfect for GTAO launch. Also, to the bold: never had any issues with RDR either.
This is a different beast, to be sure, but I have faith in R*. Maybe not for the first couple days, but relatively speaking (we'll need to remember this is still a current gen game), GTAO will live up to the hype, I think.

So yeah... I highly recommend NOT using alternate controls on the PS3.
I prefer shooting on PS3 with L1/R1 and when I got this game, first thing I did was switch to alternate. Huge mistake.
Game is way less clunky if you keep it on default. If you have "fire weapon" on R2, you can actually press it halfway and run around with your weapon raised. This makes a massive difference in combat.
Wish I knew this sooner!
I was ragging on the game for being too clunky... but it's actually fine as long as you're not using alternate. (imo)

It would be amazing if they made an expansion playing off bad slasher/suspense movies with a female lead, for once, lots of eerie music and bizarre missions to investigate shit and crazy characters to meet and help as you unravel the mysteries of Blaine County. You could be a reporter or journalist looking into something, even big foot or the cult and shit just starts to go downhill. It would be great if they gave it an Undead Nightmare feel to it, but not so extreme, just a bit more off than the usual GTA, enough to set it apart from the "reality" of the series.
Yup, I like to go East to West across Alamo Sea and then under/over the bridge and along the river to the ocean is amazing. As well, skillfully ascending and descending Mt Chiliad or Mt Josiah, or any of the map really, and hugging the ground while panning the camera just right is so fantastic.

i'm guessing i'm about a third of the way through
but here's a couple things i wanted to see but sadly/weirdly are missing:
-police missions/looking up criminals on the cop computers. i guess trevor's bounty thing is kind of a replacement but eh.
-burglaries a la san andreas. i understand that they may be small time compared to bank heists and shit but they were fun and would've worked well with the better stealth mechanics in v.
-cluckin bell/burger shot/enterable restaurants.
-more weapons. i like v's selection a lot better than iv's and the customization is great but why no katana, chainsaw, brass knuckles, revolver or flamethrower?
just did the mission for the fib guy where mike has to escape the hospital

Fixed!
Booted into Safe Mode, Restored PS3 FIle System. Took about 5 minutes.
It looks like somewhere along the line the game files and/or my save game were corrupted.
Loaded right into my save so I am golden now.

I think they found the EXACT middle ground that serves both people who loved and hated driving in IV.
As a fan of IV's driving, I think turning and breaking could be a bit more demanding, but I'll take the compromise. Driving is ace.

It's good... but if i'm being totally honest, i'd prefer more simulation, less arcade.
edit* also, i think the motorcycles are a bit disappointing in V...

I'm going to try choppers with the motion sensor... wondering if that will help. Just thought of it a few mins ago (forgot there was motion sensor support). The damn things are just too squirrely!

I got 2:45 on the first one for a silver after several attempts, and that felt like luck. And with the highest flight skill. I can't do it either. No problem with the planes.
edit: What's the best way to make money in this game? Any stock tips? Mission Spoilers
not counting the assassination missions
edit 2: Also can you pick a response to e-mail replies, it says you can but I've only ever seen one response?

I think the motorcycles are pretty decent, but the dirtbike and ATV are hugely disappointing. Too stiff and weird, and the player doesn't lean into turns or shift his weight around at all.
I thought ATVs would be a fun thing to race in GTAOnline, but they actually kinda suck... too bad.
I really miss these two as well. I could have sworn I remember reading that home invasions were coming back a long time ago but maybe it was eventually cut.

Yeah it took me a few hours to get used to it and it felt really weird at first, but I love it now. I'm already really great at it and it's a huge improvement over the cars-on-ice feeling from IV.

So is it worth it to do those Strangers & Freaks missions? Those are the side quests, right?
Or is there other stuff to do? Where do you guys find these "random missions"?

For gaffers who are a fair bit into the game already, I have a question about one of the main characters in concern to the story (I think I'm about 5 or so hours in right now, but I spent a bit of that just messing and driving around).
(anyways question)

When do you get to play as Trevor? I just finished that Paparazzo mission as Franklin and the Michael mission where you infiltrate the Lifeinvader building to rig the phone to give a rough idea where I am right now.
