The Franklin stranger mission with the guy stuck in a tree is great fun and hilarious when Franklin is speaking to the dog. *woof*" "What was that boy? there's a guy stuck in a tree?" *woof woof* "You should have left him there but you don't have empirical morals?"
Well it's always an option, and not the easier one. But I like taking them if only to here their dialogue which changes to worry when they realise you're going in the completely wrong direction.

I do agree with the others complaining about the lack of ways to make any significant amount of money.
It is really annoying that you don't make any really significant amount of money from the heists
.
Also, I don't think I'll ever make enough money to buy the golf course. It would take a very long time of playing the stock market to get $150,000,000.

I hope DLC includes more missions centered around each characters lifestyle and their other friends; Trevor in the countryside, Franklin in the hood and Michael in Rockford Hills.These missions were actually my favourite in the game despite the focus from R* being on the heists.
These can still include character switching since seeing the dynamic of each character in the environment of the one of the others was funny; Trevor blasting Ballas and helping Michael's family or Franklin and Lamar in the countryside.
Also in terms of it taking too long to make money on certain properties, just advance the time by saving over and over again in a safehouse.

I wonder if making money playing online is how that is going to play out.

Anybody else playing with Free Aim? I just had to switch to Assisted Aiming so I could
It takes a lot of the challenge and fun away to have lock-on.
I don't get the complaints about framerate or input lag, either. I haven't noticed anything like that getting in the way. And when you compare it to previous GTAs, V is buttery smooth.
As for the properties not making any sense financially...you gotta think R* has some plans for increasing your property's moneymaking ability somehow (GTA Online??), or they'll patch it up. None of the ones I've purchased have made any sense.
get the 45 kills with Trevor in one of his Rampages, goddamn.

Can't you simply spend a few hours of real life time to repeatedly go to sleep in GTA?
Still stupid.

You would have to sleep 5908 times to break even.
Well, if the action takes you about 30 seconds, that's only 49 hours of playing time ;-)

I agree. I can't help but shake the feeling that I would have liked the game even more if it was focused on a single character for the narrative (particularly Franklin). The character switching for the action scenes should stay though as it works well.
After having put around 30 hours into the game I think the heists should have been side missions, not the primary component of the story.

they shouldn't have taken out vigilante, firetruck, ambulance, taxi missions (yeah you can do taxis but it's just one at a time i think it used to give you a bonus for consecutive fares like crazy taxi). you're right, i haven't done many missions yet i just fuck around, and there don't seem to be a lot of ways to make money.
i wish robbing places was sustainable. seriously my favorite thing to do is rob a store and run from the cops. it's so fun. but, it's so hard to do, bc there's so few environments you can enter. really, they couldn't have just made every gas station enterable, or at least every 24/7 you find? they're really few and far between. it's fun as fuck robbing one and coming out to a parking lot full of cops and going on a chase. i just wish you could rob one, run to another, etc until you get caught, but there's so few places to rob, and you can't even see alot of them on the map. this huge ass map and they couldn't have thrown in a mall anywhere? there really don't seem to be more indoor environments than were in san andreas on ps2.
that's basically my biggest gripe. just copy/paste an interior on all the gas stations. it's annoying how few places there are to go inside/rob. which i personally find infinitely more fun than just randomly killing people and going on chases, it's more hood like. and vigilante missions were like, the only legit way to go around killing people without getting a wanted level; those were endless fun for me

Late story spoilers:
I just figured the agent we see at the end of Monkey Business (chemical plant) and The Wrap Up (everyone pointing a gun at eachother at the Kultz center) is the U.L Paper guy Niko works for in GTA4! Another cameo. http://gta.wikia.com/The_Contact

Can you somehow replay a bail bond mission when you killed the guy without loading to a prior point? Or does it not matter if they are alive or not for 100%?
One of my favourite things to do on GTA games is to have a couple of friends over and take turns to create a load of chaos then swap round when one of us dies. Haven't had the chance to do that yet but what are some of the best places to go and things to do that people have come across for that kind of play?

Haha I noticed that too, thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Yeah it was disappointing to jump into a police car and not have the option to go chase people down. I loved that in IV. The annoying this though about it in IV was the fact that you couldn't do it for long as you would have cops all over you soon after taking out various criminals.
Ambulance missions, always loved those.
Maybe Rockstar can add this in with later DLC and patches. Shouldn't take too much effort.

Heh, yeah but it was a 4x4 off road truck. Got hairy even then. Slid off a ledge once and only barely managed to lock the brakes up, spin the back wheels and gun it up the steep slope before completely losing it and falling down the mountain god knows how far.
Input lag was horrendous on my 40+ inch Samsung HDTV. Playing on my 23 inch ASUS monitor feels perfect though. No noticeable input lag and I am sensitive to these things.
While aiming press and hold A/X
Yes. There are five different missions for the plane and five for the buggy. Once you have done all ten the missions just repeat.
Pull out your real smartphone and use Shazam?

Yup, it's the only way to play rockstars games - otherwise the action scenes basically play themselves. Euphoria has some nice locational damage built into it as well, which you miss out on if the games always snapping your aim.
PSA for all GTAV players: turn off Rockstars silly aim assists.

We're you playing in "game" mode on the Samsung?
Yup play one game of tennis to 3 sets on normal. Win and you will have full strength after one match.
Yeesh. Got killed by a couple of random bikers on yellow bikes as I was driving my 4x4 up past the dam in the South-East towards the wind farm. Haven't really had that happen before, so it was.. interesting.
Also then took a trip in a car at night and gosh darn is this game pretty at night, especially when you go under one of those tunnels with the green lighting and it reflects off all the cars. I was driving for about 30 minutes, got onto some freeway I'd never been down before, and found myself in all sorts of places, forests, dust tracks etc. Just love the feeling of exploring in this game and not knowing what you're gonna find.

Cheers guys.
Do you level stealth up by hitting people while sneaking?
Also, do cars explode whenever they land on their roof? Died twice in about 5 minutes by doing it, even though one of them was from like a 10 foot drop

I love the fact that you always have something to spend money on. Lots of money. I thought after my first big payday that I would just be able to do anything I wanted. Nope. That money went * poof * within minutes.
Being able to buy stocks on your cell phone is a dangerous thing. I'll never have a free dollar.

Doesn't feel like it, I've had a lot of crashes where I've ended the wrong way up and had them not explode.
Just share it to Rockstar Social and it'll be stored on your profile
I suspected this as well. Glad to see I was spot on.

Is there a 360 crew I can join?
Depends, if you're on a highway you can get through gaps that they can't. Also I've had some encounters when the helicopter goes back to refuel.
Guys is this real? I really hope so...
Could be nothing, but I don't know.
potential easter egg spoiler, don't click.

Mine landed straight on the roof rather than rolling onto it
Anyone else feel like the midair aftertouch and ability to flip your car back over take the risk, and a bit of the fun, out of cross country driving?
Also, the inconsistent damage from bing ejected from a vehicle is a bit annoying. Go flying out the windscreen at 90mph and you survive, go over the handlebars at 20mph and you die
Not sure, but I did the first ones and have yet to have another one show up. Do you just go to the hangar? (the icons haven't come back)
No. You can do them when you want. You are not at the right place though because the guy is definitely there.
