GTA IV SpoilerIn TLAD Johnny's motor club loses it's president and club and they leave town. In GTA V Johnny is addicted to meth and basically lets trevor say whatever (including sex with his girlfriend).
Almost all my characters have beards, michael looks like jeff bridges i think.
How. Did you. Get that tie.
WAT
It doesn't. Time doesn't advance when you are not playing the game.
You get one for Michael very late in the game. You can't buy it before though.
But.. how. I thought me beating the game yesterday was crazy but damn. I'm only at like 67% completion.
Had the game since last Sunday night and played it over 85 hours.
Yeah but...
It took me forever to 100$ GTAIV
To find everything, do every side mission, etc etc. I would think the 100% criteria for GTAV would be higher.
Yeah same here
died once trying to fly low near the army base but after the second try kinda got used to it. Try using the rudder buttons or whatever its called to make sharp turns.
I'm streaming if anyone wants to watch http://www.twitch.tv/monsterfracas

Question for anyone who has beat the game: should I make alternate saves so the game doesn't screw me at the end by taking away a character, or abilities, or vehicles or anything like that? Or do I not have to worry? I'm not really looking for story spoilers, I just want to know if I'm going to spoiler for another Rockstar game ->
. Thanks.
Edit: and if such a thing happens when would be a good time to set aside a save for future screwing around purposes?
get Read Dead Redemption'd at the end or anything like that

you have to use the shoulder buttons, L1 and R1 turn the plane. Its best if you (if on PS3) put your middle fingers on the L2 - R2 buttons and your index fingers on the L1 - R1 buttons. Once I adjusted, flying became much more manageable.
No? I was one of the first people to get 100% in GTA 4 and got that stupid Key to the City from them for that.
The only thing that kinda took long in GTA 4 were the pigeons, collectibles in 5 are much more manageable because most of them show up on the map and the ones that don't can be found using Chop.
Nice. Any word on if there'll be a prize like the key to the city with GTA IV for this game? That could motivate me to continue playing GTA V like it's my full time job lol.

Yeah. HUGE WTF. Does that count all the collectables as well? If so, Bradygames to the rescue!

Did you go into your email and actually check it? The popup on the screen HUD won't mark it on your map I don't think.
The controls are pretty good, but its not something that's intuitive to control initially. Attempting to control them like a car will generally result in a quick crash. Moving left and right on the analog stick should be avoided completely if you're close to the surface or any objects (trees/mountains/etc). You don't need to use them. Use up and down to pitch up and down to control your altitude, use R1 and L1 to do any sort of turning while maintaining the balance of the plane. It's really not that hard once you get used to it, and I find them really fun to fly.
Is the city misty? Sometimes there can be heavy fog which blocks sunlight and makes everything kinda flat.
Haven't heard anything like that. If there is Rockstar hasn't announced it I think.
It seems you have to go by texts on general location. I need to find a quarry somewhere.
..How very specific of you. Another Rockstar game, eh? Be more specific, I am not touching this spoiler.
Yeah they don't show up on the map. You need to read the email and look at the picture provided to get an idea where to find the target. Took me a couple hours to complete them all.

Well then ignore the spoiler, it's not necessary for answering the question. I don't know how much more specific I can get without spoiling the game in question.

Take the map out from your game casing, get some tape, put it up on your wall and take a good look for similar looking land masses.

Flight controls are excellent in the game, apart from the random wobbles (that I guess are supposed to be turbulence). Planes are the same as they've always been, though more responsive, and helicopters are better than ever. They have a learning curve, though, and if you come in with your GTA IV muscle memory you'll need a lot of practise. V's choppers are faster and more manoeuvrable than any other GTA's, but the controls are extremely sensitive. Fly around for a few hours and you'll be swooping under bridges and threading between buildings like a champ.
I'm finding it hard to save planes at Trevor's airfield in Sandy Shores, though. I have the Duster saved there, and it respawns every time I come back, but I haven't been able to replace it with anything. The helipad works just fine, if a bit cumbersome; I fly a new chopper to the airfield, move the spawned chopper off the helipad, land the new one on it and it's saved for good. With planes, though, I move the Duster out of the hangar, taxi the new plane in, fly off for a while and come back to find the Duster back again. Does the hangar have a 'Press right on the D-pad to select vehicle' prompt like the helipad does?

My only problem with the game is I wish I had more time to play it. Working and studying for the mcats but I've been losing sleep to this game it's crazy. After the midnight release I walked into work the next morning with blood-shut eyes colleges were asking if I was high. GTA5 does that to me.
Go to Ponsby's and buy a tuxedo. If you can't it will unlock later down the line.
Alright I will try my best to answer this without giving away too much.
Basically make a save after the mission called "The Big Score" and before starting the next mission as Franklin. You will see why.
That's unfortunate. I bet the last one cost them a lot of money haha. Seems quite a few people got the key from GTA IV. I didn't though

Hahaha, so I just changed to Trevor, and he was out on a scooter going
"We are scooter-brothers! Wooouuuh!"
"Where are we goin' today, scooter-brothers?!"
The hell did I just stumble into?
Last time I transitioned to him, he was chasing another car down the L.A. River yelling, "I'm sorry I showed you my thingy!" Having no idea why, I ended up chasing the dude until his car died, and then beat the man to death when he got out. I figured that's what Trevor would have wanted.

Yeah someone else said Trevor's shaved head grows back too. Is it only him? I've been rocking Michael's bald head and it hasn't grown, but maybe it just takes a long time.

Where's a convenient place to get a mountain bike? I'd like to get one to ride through the mountains with, but I never see any.
There's some by the bottom lift.

Excellent! Thanks.
GAF I need your help. GTA is really starting to piss me off.
I can't use the stock market (LCN or BAWSAQ) with Franklin or Michael. The only person with access is Trevor. When I attempt to make a purchase with either Franklin or Michael. It says "The market is down for maintenance". I get this message for LCN, which shouldn't be, because it's offline.
wtf is going on with my game?
I tried loading an older save and it's the same issue.

So far I've noticed it's only Trevor. My Michael's head is shaved as well. Looks badass with that full beard and sport shades that you can buy at Ammu Nation
