So, police choppers....can you shoot them down? What do you shoot them down with? Is there a bazooka, RPG or rocket launcher available or something?

That first install is usually the play as you go install. Install a small portion so the player can play the game while its being installed. But for GTA 5 it looks like it installs a launcher that then starts the full install.

It's a great video that shows the level of detail Rockstar put into this game.

An article has come out where they interview those behind the petition, and they say this in response to that:

I'm not going to say GTA doesn't have problems with portrayal of females or the fact that it really only sees a male viewpoint.
I am going to say these people have never really played the game and what they are focusing on isn't it. They obviously don't get the idea of an open world game where you can do anything... it's not really letting you do anything if it only allows killing one gender (they are totally missing that you can kill male NPCs). And, well, it's a game where you aren't playing the good guy and you are doing stuff that is horrible. Now if they want to have an issue with the fact it does that, well... I'm going to say I agree that kids should not be playing this game but I'm an adult and I resent censoring things "for the sake of the children". Parent your damned child for god's sake. Teach them right and wrong and how to respect women. And guess what, a game like this isn't going to make them turn into a little monster. They are going to see it as "not real life and not how you act in real life".
Hell, I think they'd have more of a point if they focused more on the fact it has prostitutes in the game and portrays females like that vs. focusing on the fact you can kill the prostitutes. And hell, I think GTA could solve that problem by having male prostitutes (it would honestly I think fix a lot of the problems right there). And male strippers.
Really, for a game like GTA, I think putting in male strippers/prostitutes would be a better compromise anyways (also if we are going to do multiple protagonists, which I really do like, be nice to have a female character to play).

I played the original version of GTA V on PS3 for probably 30-40 hours first time around and started a playthrough about 6 months ago and got about halfway through.
I enjoyed the game moderately (at times a lot) during both of those playthroughs but never unabashedly "loved" it like I did San Andreas and even IV to some extent.
I can't fully explain why it is but the current gen version (playing on PS4) just feels so much better to me to play, almost like the previous version was the 'beta' for lack of a better term, and this is the "real game".
It just feels "right" now whereas I was only ever 90% sold on the game in the past.
I'll never be 100% keen on the narrative or all the characters (there are lots of good supporting characters, but if it was a single protagonist game, Michael or Franklin would both feel pretty weak as lead characters and I don't want to play as a sociopathic lunatic like Trevor for a whole game, though it is fun to switch things up...)
It feels weird to finally love this game that I first played over a year ago for 30+ hours...
I swear even shooting in third person feels better than it did to me on PS3 though maybe that's just my sensitivity settings etc. but I really disliked the shooting in GTA V originally but feel like it's somehow better now. I kind of wish shooting in first person felt a bit better but it is a cool novelty all the same, but the positive changes like upgraded visuals/draw distance/new songs on the radio etc have a huge cumulative effect on how the overall game feels, it really does make a world of difference. I've never had anywhere near as much fun with the free roaming/running around doing random shit aspect of GTA V as I am now. I switched over to the PS3 version at one point to compare and the difference is impressive.

That's probably a common reaction, I feel the same way. The last gen version was just woefully limited by the hardware. It always felt like the game was being suffocated by poor framerate, bad IQ and excessive pop in.
This time around it feels like you can actually play the game properly, and as a result it's much easier to see what all the fuss was about.

Okay... so the stock exchange thingy in in the browser of the phone...
Wish i found out earlier...
Anyway, the longer i play the game the less i understand of how the hell they were able create a world that is so completely filled with detail and things to do.
Rockstar am gods. What a masterpiece!

Anyone having problems with cars disappearing. I bought a car, did it up, drove it to Michaels and then started the mission (all as franklin) and it has since disappeared. I reordered a new one and then when I went to the garage after saving, there were duplicate cars of a completely different model and both upgraded the same way ?!
The duplicate car was a car I already owned. So, not only did the car I order not appear, I instead received a duplicate of an existing car :-(

Gonna post this again. I'm disappointed they added more variations to aiming modes because it splits the userbase too thin in GTA Online.
I personally think Online should be Free aim (maybe assisted free aim but I can't tell the difference) but unfortunately people would whine.
When you choose free aim or auto aim in campaign thats the setting you get in Online, so it only matches you up with those people. This means if you have it set for free aim you will NEVER get matched up with an entire pool of players that stick to auto aim.
It was annoying enough on the 360 with 3 aiming modes to choose from. But not it seems like there are like 6. And the player base is much smaller on next gen then it was on last gen.
I just want to be able to consistently get 30 player lobbies.

yes, i also have had cars disappearing even after putting them in the garage.
I now bought a bigger garage downtown.. maybe that helps.
It's a shame cause some of these cars cost a fortune in pimping.

The email disappears from both Maude and the Wildlife Photography Commision. I went to the quarry where I thought the first bail bond was supposed to be and nothing happened.
Did this last night. 2 birds one rocket. Thought I had missed, but their blades hit the rocket.
You can shoot them down with anything really. I took one helicopter out wither a silenced pistol. Just shot the pilot through the front window as he was turning towards me.

You can use an RPG. Since GTA IV I've always had a sense of satisfaction when I shoot the pilot. Especially from a distance.

Damnit, I hit a progression block in my game. Lost about 20% of progress. fuck
Spoiler to help you progress because I had the same on PS3:
he is still at the quarry, but further back in the smaller section (east side of the quarry). He'll be near a pickup truck. You should see dialogue subtitles when you get near.
A well placed sniper shot to the tail prop works wonders as well (never tried it until ps4 so while I know I heard complaints that rockstar made that less a vulnerability, it is still there. You just gotta know where to hit and if I can do it, anyone can <- I am not the best player).
Fuck yes!
I start with a three star, hop on a train with a full load of ammo and pop chopper pilots like it's going out of style. Nothing better than getting the pilot with the first shot from a sniper rifle.
I also wait until the ropes go down and try to get the pilot while the swat dudes are trying to rappel down.
holy hell, trying that tonight!
I practically refuse to play in third person now. Except where it's just not possible (and I always feel like I lose when that happens). Mainly the only time so far is having to pick up objects with the helicopter (I even try to set them down in first person really). Oh, and when I want to admire my neons on my Zenterno cause you can only see them when the car is on. And I still feel like I'm cheating or something by doing so (even though I think I drive better in first person actually. Though it could be that the changed driving mechanics are helping me or more likely, the controller's triggers that are easier to portion how much gas/brake you are putting on over the PS3 controller).
Aim for the little rod that connects the prop to the tail. I find right around that area is the sweet spot.

Use your rudders! (L1/R1 or LB/RB)
You turn using your rudders, you bank left and right using the stick.
I love flying in GTA games and I'm proud to say that I'm pretty good at it, gold medaled all of the stunt plane trials. The Hgih/Low one was pretty tough mostly because of the segment near the end where you need to go upside down and effectively fly upside down, down the slopes of Mt. CHiliad.
Those are two of the best side chars in the whole game for me. Just hilarious.

Driving the motorbikes in first-person in this game is amazing. I'm so accustomed to how my Akuma handles, so I'm able to weave in and out of traffic and dodge obstacles with ease. It just feels so precise and satisfying driving bikes in first-person.

Yeah, when I get on a bike I take off immediately and try to never stop long enough for them to put the helmet on. When I do, I get off so they'll take it off, and get back on. I never wear sunglasses anymore either. The first person vision limitation stuff should probably be an on/off thing in the options menu.
It's really annoying with the military jet. The HUD is really cool but damn, why can't you throw away the dark filter ? And why can't we have a FOV slider for vehicles ? It looks like I'm driving or flying with binoculars ALL THE TIME.
I know it's on the same page, but I really gotta figure out if there's a fix for this. I'm gonna lose a lot of progress if not.
Edit : Top of new page instead it seems

That's why I never stop still on my bike long enough for him to put it on. I wish we could set it so that you never out your helmet on.

Weird... did you use a cheat to do that and maybe not turn it off? Mine's been normal/consistent. Maybe start a mission that advances time and see if that kicks it into gear.
Assuming saving in a bed doesn't do anything? Is it the same in GTAO or a new single player file?

I had this same issue on PS3 (email from Maude disappeared), luckily when I went to the quarry it triggered the event and from then on I got the emails. Maybe try at different times of day/week?
At first it didn't work, but I just slept in the bed and now it's finally night time. Phew. Now hopefully it's back to normal

drove around the desert last night robbing convenience stores with a dirt bike... was pretty fun because you can actually drive the bike inside haha i saved a file nearby and i practiced it 25 times or so. i got pretty good and racing up to the door at a fast speed with my gun already drawn, ramming through the door and shooting the clerk in the head before he could even talk
then robbed the cashier tills still wearing a moto-x helmet and a tank top looking like the main character in Place Behind the Pines or whatever
I've been dressing up Franklin in a varsity jacket with a pig mask, and going all Hotline Miami on those Armenian gangsters out in the South LS junk yard. Or Hanging Out with all 3 characters and raiding armoured cars.
M and T stole am ambulance a couple nights ago and dressed up in coveralls and goalie masks just like in Heat and blocked the road on one... was a pretty awesome shootout. A body and a car went flying like 20 feet; the explosion spread to the nearby field and a huge grass fire started... and even as we escape down the hill... a flaming tire rolled by, I shit you not lol

Any gif or vid of this? I gotta try this. I'm a bad shot and I just use my AR to spray at the chopper.
I seem to recall that spraying at a car enough will make it blow up....is it the same with chopper?
