I "accidentally" hit a guy in an underpass. I drove a few hundred meters more and watched from afar. He squirmed a little bit. Very soon, I heard sirens. An ambulance came and parked about 50 meters from him. The medics quickly jumped out, left the doors open, grabbed their equipment, and ran over to the injured man. At this time, I ditched my car, ran and jumped into the driver seat of the ambulance, and took off. I kind of feel bad for the guy now, but it was a lot of fun. I should have made my way to a vantage point to see how they reacted when they found their ambulance missing.


Also, I am all of a sudden much more interested in my IRL stocks thanks to the market in GTA V. Go figure.

I've played for over 65 hours now; im at 75%. Very good game .

 

[komplanen]

Big disappointment that you can't buy cowboy boots / hat :-(

Also on the comments about a $150,000,000 movie theater not paying for itself: I think that's a little silly. It's clearly just there for 100%'ers.

Don't know about a hat but you can buy cowboy boots with Trevor. Don't know the name of the store though.

 

[Dries]

Just done "the scene" all the press has been talking about. Tbh, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet =/

Could someone describe this scene without spoiling the story?

See this is the kind of dedication I want to see from you guys.

Played over 90 hours this past week. You are my brother from another crack mother.

... Torture?

 

[antitrop]

Trevor has the ability to select from a range of torture devices spread out on a table...

Spoiler

pliers, a wrench, a can of water, and jumper cables.

Each one has its own specific mechanic of controls in order to be applied to the victim, you have to watch his heart rate so he doesn't die, and if so, you need to give him an adrenaline shot in order to keep him alive and continue the torture.

I don't know why I spoiler tagged that, as they've been openly saying that on national television since Tuesday, but whatever.

Spoiler

... Torture?

After this, when you get in the car is my favorite line so far. "Safety first!"

 

[Tunavi]

why does EVERYONE wanna fight in this game..?

i was on mt chilliad taking pictures, and a guy behind me started shouting at me, then his friend called the police.. i had to hit him before he called them, but somehow the police found out anyway..
he rolled down the mountain, i felt bad.

That's on you, bro

i found one at discount store in grapeseed

I took all 4 days off work and besides one day I had to leave for half of it - I've gone hard and I'm only 55 hours in. I think around 70%

 

[antitrop]

Anybody else playing with Free Aim? I just had to switch to Assisted Aiming so I could

Spoiler

get the 45 kills with Trevor in one of his Rampages, goddamn.

It takes a lot of the challenge and fun away to have lock-on.

The poor framerate makes the game unplayable for me with Free Aim, but I will be playing that way once the PC version is released.

It's like molasses to aim in this game, no matter what I set the sensitivity to.

Are any of the stores even worth buying? I bought some bar for i think 100k. And I get 920 bucks per weeks from it :|

 

[blainethemono]

Just realized why that area in Blaine County with all the hippies living in trailers and UFO messages looked so familiar

The Accidental Sea

 

[SonicXtreme]

tried to save a few seconds by ordering a cab while parachuting, but there are 'none available' until you land. found it entertaining you can use your phone in midair tho

 

[VE3TRO]

Lol holy shit I just chose Trevor and he was wasted down an alley. I walked into the shop to buy some clothes while still drunk and I managed to buy a dress instead lol.

I don't know if you can do this all the time or unless just drunk.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

Is there any public transport besides the cab?

 

[Visualante2]

I wasn't really feeling the soundtrack initially but it is starting to grow on me a bit. Chattersphere has felt really repetitive though. Same two sketches every time I turn it on.

Is there any public transport besides the cab?

there's a subway in the metro area. it's really slow though.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I dunno why people are so up in arms about the torture scene... it's bad, but it's not that bad, especially not compared to Trevor's treatment of Wade and especially Floyd. It's awful, dehumanizing, and incredibly abusive.

 

[Megasoum]

Which brand fellow gaffer ?

I got this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/XBox360-Controller-Adapter-For-PS3/281166552011?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D261%26meid%3D1445011347573277394%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D121110309958%26

I paid around 15$ for mine, I'm sure you could find one for that price with buy it now on ebay right now.

The only people up in arms that I've seen are daytime television talk show hosts.

Was macking in the strip club as Franklin, enjoying a double dance when all at once the ladies ran away and I was faced with 3 angry bouncers, all jostling and looking big, bumping into each other and getting up in my grill.

Franklin doesn't mind. He tries to take it in his stride.

But then I realise I'm stuck halfway into the seat and can't escape this awful strip club nightmare. So the only proper thing to do is engage in fisticuffs, and win.

I love this game. Just unlocked Trevor. Holy shit, you guys weren't kidding about his intro! It's amazing how easy it is to "roleplay" the characters. I find myself playing in a fairly reserved manner as Michael and Franklin, but as Trevor it's no holds barred. Somehow, it feels better letting off steam as him than any other character in the GTA universe, and I've barely been playing him for 2 hours.

Just spent a good half hour riding round on a train in cover chucking grenades at anything and everyone, so much fun.

 

[protonion]

Went to the airport to fly the big passenger plane.
I took it north and tried to land it there. Didnt go well...

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I can't land planes to save my life

[Megasoum]

I keep hearing how terrible the last triathlon is and everything....then I realized...my adapter to use the 360 pad on PS3 has turbo switches.....mouhahahahaha.

 

[SJRB]

I've hit a bit of a snag. For a mission Michael is supposed to take lessons over at the Flight School, and Franklin is told to practice shooting down at Ammu-Nation.

I got Michael's flight skill up to 100/100 but I didn't finish the entire course. I did finish the entire course with Franklin, but didn't get his skill up to 100/100.

What am I supposed to do here?

 

[komplanen]

The stores etc. are kinda meant as end-game if you ask me. Just a goal to spend all that heist cash on.

I think (not sure but I think) that what's important is to actually finish all the challenges, whatever your score. Didn't do Frank yet but I remember getting a message or something from Trevor when I finished all the skills in flight school.


Also, I'm starting to have some spare change playing the stock market... What should I buy? I didn't buy any property yet.

 

[Jrmint]

Question about the first heist mission:

Spoiler

Is it possible to steal the Bugstar van without alerting the cops? They are really a pain to evade in that van.

I was afraid of that - the helicopter course is kicking my ass. Not sure what it is, but helicopters control like total garbage in this game.

Sheesh, and there's a helicopter speedrun course as well, good lord. This is going to take forever.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the new helicopter controls.

The turbulence can be annoying in planes but I don't mind it too much. With the choppers however, I just can't go in a straight line....

 

[StuBurns]

Anyone know where I can boost a Declasse Tornado or a Dinka Double-T?

Yes. I did it.

Sneak in through the back, knock the guy out, then quietly reverse the van out the back you came in and drive away.

I was shocked when I landed one in a mission, it was the first time I flew and I struggled keeping it straight in the air because of how loose the controls were. I couldn't land them for shit in San Andreas either.

 

[JLeack]

Line it up. Let off the throttle when approaching. Hit it at a low angle. Proceed to stomp on the brake once stable.

Where are you having the problem?

 

[Arcteryx]

Question about the first heist mission:

Spoiler

Is it possible to steal the Bugstar van without alerting the cops? They are really a pain to evade in that van.

Spoiler

Yes for the Bugstar van: you walk past the guys at the front, and go around through a side entrance on the left in sneak mode; knock out a driver and drive through the front entrance with know one the wiser. The gas truck I was never able to find a way to get it without alerting the cops

On another note: the helicopter controls are WAAAAAAY too finicky. I have to constantly swap sensitivity it seems like between planes and helos.

 

[Spectral Entity]

Has anyone else had trouble getting the game to recognize your FB is linked to Social Club?

I can't upload pics because it says I'm using an account that isn't linked or doesn't haev notifications enabled. I have both, and even double checked by unlinking my FB and removing the app, then relinking.

It's a bit frustrating. The "Link your Facebook account" down at the bottom of the Settings menu is greyed out, so I can't select it.

Suggestions?

You done any Leater missions? You can clean up on his tips.

Otherwise just buy random stocks sell when you have some profit. Then invest in some more.

That's what I said lol, I'm starting to get a lot of money now because of Lester and I want spending advice lol.

 

[kiyomi]

I just had a random encounter where I drove a guy to the golf club and when I got there, another car pulled up right alongside and exploded, killing everyone, including myself.

Meant to happen?
