If I remember correctly, you have to either donate $10 000 to their website or order the robes in order to trigger the mission.

I just got to do the paleto bay robbery. And once I step outside wearing the full body armor as Trevor with the minigun and kill the first group of cops Michael and Other Guy just stand there and no other cops or anything spawns. This leaves me standing there with nothing to do and no way to complete the mission. This has happened 3 times in a row after retries and I was just wondering if it was a common glitch or if it happened to anyone else.

If you dont run away a little ways with Frank, he'll run back and pull you out of the car since you are jacking his ride.

I love running into the other guys while I'm out. Heading to a mission as Michael I rear ended a suspicious looking car and Franklin got out and said "Hey dude whats up, I'm just heading to [the mission]."

How far are you in the story? There's a few missions towards the middle where Michael and Trevor are hiding out in the desert, and since they aren't really supposed to be in Los Santos none of their stranger missions in that area are available.

The last save you played. It might take 15 minutes to update after you switch saves though.

Only Zancudo, but if you have a parachute and knowledge of the hangars they're in, you can steal one with zero effort and get away clean. It's so good at accelerating that you can just hold the R2/T and back and you'll get airborne.

If it's anything like the previous GTA games only vehicles with specially modified weights can actually be picked up with the Cargobob.

I would do this in Saints Row 2 with tow trucks. I think you can do 7 or 8 of them before you get too far away to hook anymore up because the game despawns the furthest one. I called it the "truck snake" because of how it would drive.

Man this thread moves fast, so I'm just going to skip to the end with my questions.

When you buy property, does the income from it show up in your bank account on its own or do you have to collect it?

I looked around for any solutions, but nothing is helpful, but the iFruit app just won't work. When i try to login it just gives me a generic failure to log in, and the only solution I have found for that one is just to delete and reinstall it on my phone, but that didn't fix anything.

The income goes directly to your account and you get a text message each week notifying you of the payment.

Income is automatically deposited. Note that some properties require you to do stuff in order to earn money.

I wish there was a warehouse/truckyard you could buy so you could get money for stealing those big gas tank trailers at gas stations. Or just from hijacking semi trucks.

I don't think the bridges or knife flights are "collectable", in that you have to fly under every single bridge. You just have to fly under a bridge X number of times. Same with the knife flights.

Stunt jumps and scraps/parts are probably tough to find all of them without some kind of guide, but Social Club is free and offers an interactive map of showing where everything is and tracks which ones you've already found.

Edited for coherence.

In theory yes. But you are gonna waste 200+ hours if not more trying to do that. Use http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/career/checklist for the scraps/space ship parts.

Keep in mind you only have to do 50% of the bridge/knife flight/stunt jumps for it to count for 100% as well. Just youtube a guide, but even then it's going to take a while. Especially the stunt jumps are painful.

The only game with connections is GTA 4, everything else is little easter eggs and fan service*. Even then, the connections are "Hey I remember this character."

No you're not missing anything.

*They seperate the games into canons based on the style, 2D, 3D and HD. HD is just GTA4 + episodes and GTA5 right now.

Torture mission bullshit: Finally got the mission, and from a story standpoint, It makes sense. Makes me like Trevor more and hate that FIB prick even more. Gameplay wise, I don't understand why they made it interactable. People probably wouldn't have half the issue with it if it was just a cutscene. Gotta drum up controversy somehow because "violent video game" isn't hook line and sinker enough anymore, I guess. It's like they made the mission in spite of the speech he makes about torture after the mission. It didn't bother me one bit. What bothers me is not knowing why the torture gameplay was necessary, especially if you give Trevor that dialogue right after.

Why exactly is Trevor's speech after the torture scene catching people's attention like that? Trevor doesn't say torture is bad, just that it's ineffective. He's annoyed that he just tortured someone pointlessly, not that he tortured someone. He's pissed that he wasn't doing it for his own reasons, and that torturing someone for any other reason than you want to torture them yourself is missing the point. Also notice how he treats the guy afterwards. There is absolutely no chance there's actually anyone waiting at the airport. None.

I keep hearing people say it's a self-insert speech to give the author's point of view, but I keep thinking those people didn't listen to the same speech I did.

This reminds me of the 'tractor snakes' we used to make in SA:MP. You could attach several tractors like this. They would snake when you turned, and the game physics would eventually spaz out, flipping the 'tail' tractor around at 500 miles an hour until it detached at crazy speeds.
Hours of fun.

I just beat the game. Does it make any difference which option you choose? I chose C because I didn't want to kill either of the guys. Do you actually kill anyone or does it just end up being "I can't kill him" and then it goes to option C anyway? I figured they couldn't let you kill one of the characters because there are things only certain characters can do. But does it change any outcomes?

Ending spoilers They stay dead and you are locked out of their sidemissions. If you choose Michael you get a choice to save him during the mission. edit: Guess he dies anyway.

More ending spoilers The option to save Michael is really pointless, though, and it exists solely to make it not an auto-gold medal. If you choose to save him, he just kills himself anyway because... reasons.

I stole a lear jet from the main airport and decided to use it to fly around the map to get rid of some of the fog of war. I ended up heading directly west of the army base over the ocean and encountered a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress a couple miles off shore. My engines mysteriously cut out as I was getting close to it so I had to ditch in the sea, whereupon I was eaten by a shark.

I've been looking around online and haven't seen any mention of the B-17 yet, anyone else able to confirm it? This probably doesn't make a difference but it was a night during a thunderstorm.
