She'll probably end up giving you another then if you call her again, or will show up on the map to give you the final one.

You'll just love that the fact that buying it for 150k or so will let you tow cars at will for around 500 bucks a pop, meaning you'll get your investment back in around never.

100% complete. Joint effort with the wife. Stunt jumps suck cock but somehow I found 25 I could do.

Bring on GTA:O!

I am dreading doing those 25 stunt jumps. All I have left to do is collect 50 notes/parts, the two S&F missions that are linked to the collections and the stunt jumps.

I think the worst part so far has been the boring races. The AI slams on the brakes if you get too far behind after crashing or something, then they just rubberband like crazy if you get too far ahead, so it really doesn't feel as though you're accomplishing a drat thing.

Well it smells like bullshit since they say the source is Rockstar themselves and it would have been announced on their site if there was actually any sort of official statement, and that mockup is clearly fake since there's no way Rockstar will use GFWL since it's dying in June.

How do you flip people off from your car? I saw posts saying to press L1 when unarmed, but I can't make myself be unarmed in the car. :confused: If I select unarmed before I get in a car, my guy still shoots when I'm in the car.

The only way all these properties make sense are if R* designed them as money sinks, you aren't supposed to make money off of them.

I think the only one that turns in a profit rather quickly is the submarine one.

No. That would be bullshit. I want GTA V for PC. Rockstar says nothing about PC so I assume it is either never coming or coming in spring/summer. Not 2 loving months after I buy a console version due to a word never being said about a PC version. Yes, I'm mad about hypothetical video games.

The square/X button toggles your in car weapon when you're driving. There's an unarmed setting that you can toggle to, though if you have a lot of weapons usable in a car it might take awhile to find it.

Switch to unarmed while in the car by hitting X (Square on PS3) until you pick the fist. There's no weapon wheel in cars, you just cycle through.

http://www.shacknews.com/article/81287/bully-sequel-could-go-a-lot-of-directions-says-rockstar

Only tangentially related to GTA, but Dan Houser says he'd like to make a sequel to Bully. He says in the interview that he doesn't really see Jimmy becoming a GTA-protagonist; that he's not that much of a dirtbag. Personally, I think the best thing for a Bully sequel would be Jimmy going to a prestigious university. Expand the time scale a little bit, give us all four years of undergrad to play with so we can see characters grow and change as they discover themselves in college, maybe let some of our decisions effect that as time progresses. Give us a bigger college town to run around in and maybe a whole frat/sorority system for factions.

You're merely postponing the inevitable.
So PIS is up to $5.56 on PS3 and HAL is up to $6.97. Total I've gotten an additional $6 mil on top of my initial investments. Wondering if I should let it go another day, see if I can squeeze a little more out of it or if it's time to start looking at another stock. ZIT's on the decline..maybe we can make that our next project.

Illegal Hen
So, has anyone else had the police shoot at them even when the mini-map says that they're hidden? I was doing one of my usual rampages as Trevor and hid in a bush in the middle of the desert. The mini-map indicator was grey, the stars were flashing, and I wasn't in any officers' sight cones. (Except for the helicopter, but I wasn't seen) Except there was this one gunman in the helicopter who just kept shooting me. Like, as far as the game was concerned he couldn't "see" me, but he just kept firing at me and would have killed me if the wanted level hadn't disappeared before he fired one last volley at me. It was one of the weirdest things I've experienced in this game...

Where's the best place for an epic police showdown? Somewhere with good cover and not a lot of entrances. I tried a parking garage, it's good until they start landing on the roof.

There is a house south of Trevor's trailer, in the nicer part of town, that is under construction and is covered in tarps and scaffolds. You can climb to a porch that is covered and supposed to be inaccessible, you have a clear shot out one side that cops could fit through if they knew to jump to that balcony, and a small space between the tarps at the other end where you can shoot up the street. I can hold out there pretty much indefinitely, but so far haven't been able to get it to 5 stars.

Just tried this out. It's more like a Prototype/Saints Row 4 upgraded character type jump rather than a Crysis edited config file jump, which is sort of disappointing for a cheat, but it's still really fun. I'm trying out on the beach right now (where I just woke up), but I need to try it in the city.

If you hit anything while coming down, the fall damage doesn't seem to be any worse than a regular jump.

e: Hahaha, if you're around a lot of people when you do this, they all turn around and stare at you when you reach the ground and they talk about you like you're a superhero.

Absolutely nothing in the game has a significant payout once you actually have access to it other than the first and last heists. Some of the random encounters have five digit payouts, but with the sole exception of the one that gives you stocks, I didn't see them until after I'd finished the main plot at which point that's not a big deal and you can only do them once anyway.

It's literally impossible to buy all the properties without substantially playing the stock market. Either Rockstar's making some kind of comment there, or really really wants people to use that (really rudimentary and boring) system.

Property incomes should be a lot more than what they are now to make them worth buying.

The Hen House: costs $80,000, pays out $920 a week.
Scrapyard: costs $275,000, pays out $150 per car. 1,833 cars TO BREAK EVEN.

Maybe if they multiplied payments by 10 to 20 it'd make properties more reasonable.
