This is one of my favorite little touches in the game. It's going to be sort of a love/hate thing since it's a touch of realism that has impact on gameplay (players cannot as easily keep a consistent look on someone), but I think it's a small thing that ends up adding a lot to making the characters feel more genuine.
I'm often amused by what the characters decide to wear, e.g. switching to Michael and seeing him waking from bed in a panicked startle, drinks on the floor, and then cutting to him emerging from the closet wearing a suit as if thinking "man I gotta get my shit together."
Ton of nice little character touches in the game. I love how they incorporated much of that into the character switching as well. Franklin will often be hanging out at his house enjoying the digs, playing with Chop, or getting plastered at a bar or strip club, generally conveying a more youthful, exuberant attitude. Trevor will be doing some random crazy thing - that impressively always feels in-character - or living it up in squalor. Michael will be doing things like driving along listening to moody music (Phil Collins), or quietly hanging out near the beach having a cigarette, being more a lonesome, introspective sort.
Yeah, I want to know this as well. I didn't do a whole lot with the stock market throughout the game, but even if I had I don't think I'd have anywhere close to the amount that I'd need to buy it.
It would be super irritating for this to be the one thing holding me back from 100%ing the game.
Am I the only one who thought the first submarine mission was boring as hell? Those things are so slow, it just brought my fun to a halt. Think I'm done for tonight because of that, actually.
I finished that because the reward was quite huge - and because I just love the game :/ it's not full full on like most scenes but it's entertaining.
For reference, I never 100% any previous GTA, I might just do this one.

One intense one I've seen when switching to Franklin is him breaking up a fight between Lamar and 2-3 dudes. And Lamar looked like he had the shit beat out of him.
I just stumbled upon a random body armor drop near the fire station in El Burro Heights. This is the first freebie I've found so far. It's a good thing too, because I'm broke as a joke right now with Franklin.
Anyone get a hooker, perform sexual acts, then when she leaves, stab her with the knife repeatedly then take your baseball bat out and bash her some more?
.......
Yeah, me neither.
Seriously though, stabbing people in this game is really fun.
Is it possible to use the three characters at the same time not in missions? I envisioned using all of them during a cop rampage, like Trevor sniping as Michael and franklin kill cops on ground
The colour of the water in the bay near the docks is incredible - it's like shade for shade utterly perfect - just how the water looks kind of greenish at most polluted city bays. how many goddamn pictures did Rockstar take of LA? Seriously? there must be a share on their network which is just terabytes of pics.
I want to go out and buy this game so bad. But I have been telling myself I can't. I lack self control with some things and I feel like Grand Theft Auto, and the online once it comes out, would distract me to much from my work. Il probably wait until my school schedule slows down and then pick this up. I just can't wait to get in on the action everything I have seen just has me so excited for it.
I hadn't this much fun with Golf since Mario Golf in Game Boy. The hard guy cheats tho. My ball never goes in. Always pops out so it takes me another shot :X
None of my controllers will connect wirelessly now :/ What the hell? They turn on for a few seconds and turn back off. Will played when plugged in though, battery is full.
Edit: And what's the easiest way to sync with social club?

Yeah, I love those. My favourite one is where I was playing as Franklin and I switched to Michael. I was surprised to see him in his washroom, on the verge of tears and a nervous breakdown, splashing water on his face and telling himself to get it together.
I was like "Whoa..."
Also, speaking of Michael, his spiral into depression and self-pity is going well. I had him rocking the long hair till I finished the third heist, when I decided to cut it back to "Grown Out" but I gave him longer stubble as he's trying to keep it together but not doing a great job of it. I also gave him a tattoo on his arm, "Michael + Amanda Forever" or something, hahahaha.
And no, I haven't allowed Michael to visit any prostitutes or strip clubs and am having him avoid bars as much as possible. Gotta get his shit together. Also, Michael has a tendency to run down thieves and help women in distress.
Michael's the best.
Wanna make him punch his therapist though.
Also, I switched to Trevor once, and he was being kicked out of a casino. I tried walking back and the bouncers shoved him, so I just beat the fucking shit out of them. Probably killed one. Why? Cause that's what Trevor would do.
Also, I fucking hate all these (in-game organization spoilers)
I had trouble with that until I figured out how to do it. AP Pistol obviously, but instead of aiming around, aim at the yellow and strafe side-to-side. You strafe at the same speed as the target moves.
I've only been able to see the Psych once as Michael and he doesn't show up on my map or return calls. Do I have to wait a week in-game or keep doing missions or something?
Are the stranger missions character specific? I just got this game tonight and I'm liking it. I've unlocked Michael, but switched back to Franklin because I'm OCD.
Also, dumb question. I got the 360 version. I know you weren't supposed to install the "play disc" version. I installed the installation disc, but I'm good if I don't install the play disc right?
I don't know if it's the fact that my 360 is old as shit, but in the first mission 90 percent of textures vanished. Like there were parts in the opening where the textures didn't load at all and during the first mission all the textures vanished and it looked like I was playing a PS1 game and the road vanished and my car looked vanished through the map and I was driving in this brown texture-less space.
Overall it's pretty cool. I don't like Lamar. I'm glad the stranger missions from RDR have returned. It's still way too early to have an opinion. The opening moments made me feel kind of gross, but I'm hoping the story develops better.
Also there was line out the door today at my local Gamestop with people wanting to buy GTAV. I saw the typical mom buying it for her underage kid, I think was probably 13, and after playing it for a few hours I retroactively want to scream at that woman. The Gamestop employee was spot on, though, and read the ESRB warnings. She just kind of shook her head and bought it anyway. I know the kid was wasn't like 5 or anything, but makes me so mad.
Any idea how you steal the dude's golf club? I've been trying to move in with stealth, but I get spotted from every angle. Plus, I don't even know what I'm looking for. I can't possibly be going for the club he's using, right?
I love how you can just pull 360s at full speed and keep cruising down the road in sports cars. Just slam the ebrake and crank the stick to one side then turn to the other side while mashing on reverse. You can just pull right out of it and keep hauling ass. I've really grown fond of the driving physics.
There's many crashed planes around the area and boats, you'll find them on at least one of the 2 (?) underwater "find stuff" missions - these planes / boats normally have guns / a money case near them - I'm guessing they were "hijacked" for money and crashed? I think I'm on my 4'th or 5'th underwater case, last one was 20,000
I had trouble with that until I figured out how to do it. AP Pistol obviously, but instead of aiming around, aim at the yellow and strafe side-to-side. You strafe at the same speed as the target moves.
