lady blue shanghai posted:I just want to be sure I'm not missing anything with the phone. When you get emails, you hit X (PS3) to reply and that's the only way to reply, right? All of my emails have the red reply arrow at the bottom, but I can only reply to certain ones. For example I can reply to Brad and Ron but not to Maude - even though her email seems like she wants a reply. At least on Trevor's phone, the inbox will show you an <- arrow next to the message if you're able to reply to it.

Why is the reply arrow there if I can't reply? Or am I doing something wrong?

Just finished Barry's mission where you smoke the laced weed and start seeing aliens and have to kill them all with a minigun as Michael. I also did Trevor's evil clown version of that earlier on. Does Franklin have a different version as well?

I did one of those random missions that appear on your minimap. Some guy had his bike stolen. I recovered it. Later I got an email saying the guy sent me $100k worth of stock. It was nice because I did it as Franklin and he has the least amount of money of the three.

Is it just me or do the gun running missions at the airstrip get annoyingly difficult once you get the achievement? I was in the area and wanted to make a quick buck so I did the ground one and it puts the airdrop on the opposite side of the Alamo Sea where I have absolutely zero chance of catching the rival gang. I can't even get close enough to kill them until they're about 20 seconds from making the drop, then I get chased back by a helicopter that was able to kill me from full health in less time than it took me to take down the chopper with a minigun.

Apparently getting strength up gives you more health and makes you more durable. How the hell do you get strength up? I've been playing full sets of tennis but I've not seen the bar blip once. Totally shut out Amanda, though. This is my court, sweetie.

I've heard you can run out into the countryside and punch cows though, which works okay since you don't get any stars. I'm probably going to try on Franklin since he can't play tennis and golf is excruciating. That said, don't expect the health bonus to be too significant. I maxed it out on Trevor and Michael and don't notice any difference in survivability.

How the hell are you supposed to do Franklins first weed smuggling mission for Barry? I somehow managed to run off fine the first try, but since the game didn't give you any note that there would be a time limit, I stopped by at Ammonation to stock up and noticed the tiny timer box in the corner too late. The yellow dot was at the nose of my car when the timer ran out.  Now I can't loving do it anymore. The truck sucks rear end, there's the timelimit and immediate 3 stars, no matter where or how I drive, the game pulls the usual GTA trick of spawning cop cars out of thin air right where you're heading. One time I drove behind a completely empty warehouse yard thinking I could lose them, when a one single cop materialised out of nowhere, like literally popped in right in front of me and started shooting at me, resetting the alarm level.  This is the first mission to make me ragequit (twice now). I thought I was clever and shoot the cops watching over the truck before going in, but of course they spawn back as soon as you leave the area.

Franklin's style chooses crack me up. Is tucking your shirt into your underwear something that real people over the age of five actually do? Speaking of clothing, am I the only one driven crazy by the clothing store's extremely finicky interactions. Timing my button presses for the exact moment the prompt pops up and accidentally stepping a bit too far make me want scream sometimes. Why cant a menu just come up and let me cycle through all the options, are there folks out there just clamoring for a more involved shopping experience in their murder sims?

It sucks that the GBS has infected even the Games forum and poo poo but what can you do? Apart from avoid using certain trigger words that seem to bring down the wrath and the tears. Maybe we could make a seperate thread akin to the spoiler / misogyny (I bet that was a riot) thread for people to bitch about torture scenes in their modern murder and organized crime simulator. That way we won't have the back and forth 'That's too hosed up for me, I am a literal torture survivor! This is sick, Rockstar! Muh internet PTSD!' to 'You guys are being lame, it's a game, grow up, etc.' every couple pages. Or put a spoilered thing in the OP? Tokubetsu posted:Just booted up the game to find that all of my lovely truck mods for Trevor are gone but at least the truck's still there right? ='( =) That's lovely, I've never had that happen to me. I'd be pretty pissed off because I spent quite a bit of money making Franklin's Buffalo into a modded up, turbo'd beast that leaves the other street racers in the dust every time. Hopefully the first patch will fix all the car issues, they seem to have dropped the ball on that one.

I'm a bit confused about how the switching between protagonists works for the main storyline. I only have Franklin and Michael at the moment and notice the plot seems to be moving along regardless of who I start missions with - is the "you must play as X" requirement only for side activities?

The missions will be colored to the specific character. Michael is blue, Frankling green and Trevor will be orange. Some of the missions with more than one of the main characters will have slightly different cutscenes depending on who you start them with. Most sidemissions are for one character only.

The protagonists all have their own individual missions that only they can trigger as well as "team" missions that can be started by any of the characters who are taking part, though there are often missions that can only be started by a single character where the other 2 become involved later.

Question from the previous thread: Is there any definite way to (random encounter spoilers) unlock Packie? I keep driving around the place where he's supposed to be robbing the store (as Franklin) at nighttime, but the event is not occurring. I haven't killed him, but I may have triggered the event early on while driving past, but I never noticed it. Also Bawsaq is the stupidest thing ever. Connection is spotty where I live, and I got the stock tip from the guy you drive to the airport, but Bawsaq was down for maintenance. No money for me.

How do you "beat" the random mission in the desert where a guy is being chased by a cop? I tried shooting the cop and the guy just ran away and I got 2 wanted stars. I tried shooting the guy and the cop got really angry and I got a wanted star. I tazered the cop and the guy said "well thats one way of dealing with the cops" and ran away.

Stay the gently caress away from iFruit, it's literally the worst thing Rockstar have ever put their name on. I genuinely can't tell whether it's a meta-joke about how terrible iOS apps are, or whether it just plain loving sucks.

So I was about 28 missions in to the main story, enjoying the fact that I had so many more to go but then the stupidly easy preperation "missions" for the third heist actually counted as proper missions that you can replay and everything Yeah, I'm sure I'm going to have hours of fun replaying that one where you buy some overalls. Is this the case for the rest of the heists as well? Cos I need to slow down on the main missions if so.

I don't think she does but I've met her again as Franklin on a coast beach somewhere (I'm like 68% with the game for you reference). I figure if they let you contact everyone that you meet that way, they had to have much more dialogues recorded so they slacked off... It's still kinda stupid to have to scroll through all the chumps as Franklin to get to my taxi service though.

Take an immediate first right from where you start (the little alley between where the truck is and the parking lot), then right again to jump off to the road below. You're now free to drive to the delivery and the cops are none the wiser.
