What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

Really another thing I'd kill for would be the ability to set what you want your base vehicle to be. Trevor's scrapheap truck is cool and all, but Michael's dumpy little whatever can take a hike. Also even if the vehicle isn't customizable, it'd be super cool if I could at least repair it. :mad:

Did anyone else get sad that they could not (early game character building spoiler) do anything to help Michael's daughter during her sad and desperate bulimia episode? Maybe its from knowing people who suffer from the issue in real life, and I don't say that complaining about the game being offensive, but I really was sad I could not help and for me it really dropped my liking of Michael as a father- which was probably the point.

Oh my god Franklin's special ability gives his cars super traction as well. Just escaped the cops by driving up a mountain in his personal car. :allears:

Unless I'm imagining things it also boosts his speed. Franklin on a good motorcycle is awesome for those jumps with cramped approaches.

Doing some races I've boosted the speed so hard I'd take off and fly from the smallest bump. I've got reasons to think it's a little bug not critical enough to solve that comes from how the numbers change during his special ability.

Ought to be secret behind record times of the airport race for example being around two minutes long.

That's cool.
I just did the cross-country triathlon and the weazle news chopper was across the map, so switching to it caused the entire area to unload. Switching back put me on the ocean floor along with all the other swimmers.

Apparently the swimming AI for them doesn't tell them to surface, so they all drowned and I won without any competition.

I get really irritated at Franklin always always using his motorbike when he's out and about when switching to him. Bloody annoying having to drive back to the house to get his car back every single time. I tuned up your car for a drat good reason, Franklin! :argh:

It boosts his speed (time is still slowed though so its harder to tell), gives him more torque, increases acceleration and breaking, increases the fidelity of the handling and allows him to make turns at speeds that wouldn't be possible.

It's really the best of all the specials.

I'm kinda sad at how few customization options there are for the bikes, though. I was expecting at least a second set of fairing but most bikes don't even have that. I think Frank's Bagger is the bike that has the most options, a few different frames and the option to take off the fairing or replace the bags.

e: vvv I've also had it save my rear end from head on motorcycle collisions that should have killed me, but that might be subjective.

Not only this, but I wish they would let all the characters use all the garages, also all the properties should also function as garages. It's lovely to find a new vehicle, drive it to your large garage, and then find out it's full. Since if you try to swap out a car the one you arrived in will disappear. I also wish they would let all your characters use properties other guys have bought. I bought LS Customs as Franklin, and of course no other characters can use it. What if I want to swap custom cars between characters? Oh, I'm hosed? Thanks RS.

The most annoying thing about the LS Customs you buy is that it's out in the rear end-end of nowhere, so if you want to customize your ride, it's a long drive there and back. Should've just let him buy the one at the airport instead!

There’s a workaround: park your shiny new car in your safehouse’s garage, take a taxi/jacked car to the multi‐car garage, take out the car you’re willing to get rid of, drive back to the safehouse, swap cars, and finally drive back to the big garage and store the new car there.

It’s a major hassle, but it works. Cars in my safehouse garage disappear every time I swap characters, but it holds them long enough for swapping purposes.

It would be nice if there was more than one garage and they all share the same carlist, it really sucks having a vehicle in your garage in Los Santos that you plan on driving around Mount Chilliad with.

Who knows, maybe GTA:O will tell us why it's the way it is, or maybe Rockstar didn't get it down yet.

It's very poorly implemented bullshit. Turbulence would either have it pushing you in a direction or lower air pressure would have you drop quickly because of loss of lift and it typically happens at much higher altitudes than we're ever flying in this game. This game implements it like you're randomly getting hit by microbursts all the time through an extremely lazy random jiggling of the control inputs. It's dumb and annoying. It's not even fun, it's just there to gently caress with you when you're trying to do precise stuff.

No, but if you can find the Mesa 3 you can get yourself exactly that. It's basically a lifted Mesa, and can be fitted with all kinds of fun poo poo.

It really doesn't. I'm not trying to posture myself like some kind of chopper air wizard but I've managed to pull some pretty nimble poo poo in a chopper and stunt plane with a fully leveled Mike and Trevor and not once have I been like, "gently caress this poorly implemented bullshit" and screwed up some precise crap I was trying to do because of turbulence.

Edit: I understand that's the point of the turbulence in the game (to cause poo poo to go wrong) but at higher skill it becomes less of a factor if any.

Easier to just blanket block all achievements for all cheats than make sure that certain cheats can't be used to cheese achivements.

Why Rockstar cares about people cheating for achivements? Well I have no idea why,

I want to think some cheats didn't block achievements in GTA4, but I may be wrong. It'd be nice if this game had a game+ goofball mode, maybe tie it into the phone as an app. Saints Row has done cheats pretty well for a while now, I just wanna goof off with Trevor.

On a related note, where do you guys think the ceiling is on these BAWSAQ stocks? I only bought Hawk and Little as a way to store my cash, not actually expecting a return, but now I'm wondering how long to hold onto them.
