This game is too fucking good, can't stop playing! However some points in the story are really confusing to me for example
The Blitz Play heist, and why you meet up with Devin Weston afterwards, anyone got an explanation?
Brucie is on Bleeter.com and Packie is recruitable for heists. Franklin's cousin on Life Invader also makes a post saying 'Roman's Cab Service is the worst taxi in the city'

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I was hoping the all spawned cars are pretty much the same, but at one point this morning.. and I'm not far in.. I was driving a van and came across the race ?. So you need to get a car and drive to the spot to race... so cool... alright.. let me jack a decent car.
There's like a whopping 3 fucking cars is all that spawn.. I get in a muscle car, mustang looking thing... and drive around.. nope same 3 fucking cars keep spawning... and I drove around a lot.. went to a parking lot... like 10 cars in it... ALL THE FUCKING MUSCLE CAR.
Shit.. thought RS would overcome that shit by now.. but it seemed worse than I remember in the past.
Was it bugged out, I ended up just racing that car because I couldn't find an upgrade.. and won and quit since I went to work.
Anyone else have that issue?

Yes. Social Club is fucking stuff up big time. Rockstar needs to take that 1 billion dollars and put it into servers. GTA Online is going to be hell.
Well shit. I've put 100 grand into Tinkle after I got a tip from someone but the shares dropped to 0 ever since Bawsaq went down. I hope it picks up again, I made crazy profit off of this one and I need the money to buy a boat for no reason whatsoever.
Man...I hope I start seeing that kind of money soon.
About the clothing issue, here's a cool little detail I noticed,
after Michael's extended stay in the desert, when he finally gets to go back home, the grey suit I had been wearing while out there, had a tremendous amount of wear and dirt on it, like a good suit ruined by staying in a meth house in the desert :lol
I'm saying vehicles in GTA5 have had their inertia / weight changed from 4. Every vehicle in the game feels a lot lighter and that makes helicopters feel much worse to fly with turbulence.
Not at all. For me, most of the issues with similar car spawning is gone.

Omg the Jimmy and Michael mission! You know which one I'm talking about. I love you Rockstar! So wicked.
The problem isn't that there are online problems, but that the online hooks are messing up what is essentially a single player only game at the moment. That's fucking stupid, and a failure on Rockstar's part.
Pre-release they touted having 6 heists.
And, in that case, it is. Everything you do heist preparation for is a heist, even if you can't choose members
Makes sense, 2 more cities = 2 more expansions. Fits with the lifespan of every major GTA game.
GTA3 -> VC -> SA
GTA4 -> L&D -> BoGT
GTA5 -> San Fierro -> Las Venturas

Hmm, maybe it was a glitch and a restart was needed... on 360 with just install disc installed.

Thought it would be awesome to post this.
aww thats wonderful
I've said it before, but I can't imagine them creating San Fierro. I don't imagine that Rockstar want to create another city location.
My bet is on Las Venturas, as a destination you can go to from the Los Santos airport. You'll be able to spend the millions you have at the end of every GTA game by gambling it, with a new set of mini-games such as playing cards, and gear up for one big final heist on a casino. It would also save them creating a city, as all they would have to make is the main part of the Las Vegas strip.
God I hope so. I don't really care much about San Fierro but if Las Venturas got added with all of the casinos added, nnnnnnnnnnnnggggg I would never leave my room.
I really doubt they'll create a new city.
The DLC for IV said to me, 'we spent all this time and money on building this massive, in-depth city. We're not building another one.' They'll just use less used areas of Los Santos for DLC and throw in new characters and maybe a new radio station.

Well from what i've read on GTA Online, they plan on adding every city, maybe even classic cities to this "world" at some point if it gets popular enough.
Since GTAO is basically going to become it's own beast outside of the single player games, I could see them adding those maps to each in this "series" of games (the GTAV series).
Precisely the reason you don't tie such shit into online features. It seems like devs and publishers just don't get that these problems always happen.
There was no reason to tie such features into the social Club, why can't I save pictures locally to my hard drive, why do I need Rockstar social club to save them?
It's pure data mining and second screen type bullshit. We need to download a third party app that collects user data, reads our phone call and identity and other data just to train Chop when that could have been in game from day one.
If getting 100% is a thing for you yeah there is a point.
Friend Activity - Visit a Bar
Friend Activity - Visit the Cinema
Friend Activity - Visit the Strip Club
Friend Activity - Play Darts
These are needed for 100%. Other than that no it is just for extra interactions between the characters.

Now I want a movie, fuck
Wrapped up the story.
The best GTA, and one of the best games this year (SMT4LYFE). Good times.
Power of the shotgun with the capacity and firing rate of an assault rifle, what could go wrong? I think I used that and the RPG exclusively for the last third of the game. Well, except for Michael, who I always forgot to buy guns for and ended up slumming it with the advanced smg.

Yes. After the mission "The Big Score" you get another mission as Franklin where you can decide what ending you want.
I could see them releasing Liberty City. Wouldn't require as much work and would be fun to revisit in Vs engine.

Thanks, that stops me from being worried about saving the game in a different save slot all the time.

You are more optimistic man than I.
I fully expect the launch of GTAO to be completely fucked, 2 weeks is not enough time to redesign server infrastructure. If it was a question of adding more server shards to shelter the load, they would have done it by now. They also probably want the news article about "massive amounts of interest crashes servers" to go out on the first day. These guys are game shop, not Amazon/Google.
Here's what I want in a patch
Cut down wanted time by 50%
Sort out the custom car situation and LIST exactly how it works, from Rockstar's mouth
Cut down the times I get red stars for hitting someone by like 50%. I get a gun making a lot of noise. I get that citizens can call the cops on their cell phones. However, with no cops in sight, I will hit a civilian and INSTANTLY flash. Are you telling me the civilian called and told the cops my location in 1 frame?

I also want them to balance the weapons and to fix some of the audio.
Yes.
Check x360achievements.org/ps3trophies.org and trueachievements.com. Video guides up for all collectibles also.

if anyone remembers Rocco from GTAIV, he puts in an appearance as well in Michaels mission for the movie producer. It's definitely the same character.

Honestly, they should have prepared for this. GTA Online will fail if the infrastructure is unable to handle a massive number of players.
I feel the wanted time is just right honestly. I enjoy the thrill of feeling until I'm out of sight, and then either changing a vehicle to staying hidden somewhere in cover just waiting for the alert to go off. Probably the best wanted system so far in GTA.
The custom car situation is crap though. They really need to fix that. They also need to fix the TV audio which is way too soft compared to the rest of the game sounds. The volume slider for the TV needs to go up a few more notches imo.

I got Santos and Liberty City in HD, I would love to see Vice City done in this engine.
You'd have Vice City, then the swamp lands around it, the ocean to screw around on, maybe a massive amusement park nearby, all the little redneck hillbilly towns that are trying to sell you everything they can. Gators, sharks, boas, pumas and coyotes. I want it.
