The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Shouldn't be too long - I don't remember watching for more than a few minutes and it's checked off for me. Note that it's not required for 100% though!

Is there anywhere on the social club where I can see what stunt jumps I've hit or bridges I've been under. I need one more bridge and I swear I've been under every last one and even now followed two separate walkthroughs. I'm hoping there is something similar to the map they have under the checklist that shows the spaceship parts, letter scraps and other such things. I'm quite positive I know which bridge it is, but not matter how many attempts I make, it won't give me credit for going through it.

Uh, can anyone give me some tips for the Loop de loop Flight School lesson? The loving turbulence every 2 seconds is killing any momentum my plane has but I can just manage the loops, but the Roll off the top(Loop then roll) isn't working.

went up the spout again.

Keep the stick pulled back to half-loop until the red bar in the bottom right corner fills up, then stop pulling back and hit to either left or right to do the barrel roll portion. The half loop goes for longer than you're probably thinking it would, use the little gauge.

Are certain missions only available for a limited time? It seems like some missions disappear if I don't do them right away. For instance, I think I missed a mission for Michael's doctor.

Hell yeah. Everyone should pick the obvious approach when it comes to the final heist. Way more fun.

Also everyone should pick obvious for the FIB headquarters heist, and should also pick the tanker option on the Merryweather heist.

When it comes to having fun, those options are just way way cooler than the alternatives. Especially that last one I mention. gently caress the alternative on that. You have to go across state like 3 times and it's just super boring.

Aside from these, I think the only other heist where you get to chose an approach is the first one, and that one isn't too different whichever you choose. So I prefer subtle cause its bad-rear end dressing up like exterminators and only requires one more small setup mission.

Is there a way to change which approach you choose for a heist once you've made it or do you basically get locked into that choice and can only replay it the other way later?

I was kinda surprised these were required for 100% (well half anyway). Only game I bothered getting 100% on was SA and I'm pretty sure even back then they realized searching across the map for unmarked stunt jumps was kinda lame.

Probably wouldnt mind as much if they at least showed up on social, even just the ones you've completed, but gently caress it.

I took the other option in all three cases! Will probably relish replaying them with the alternatives now that you've said that.

On the topic of the "subtle" approach to the final heist, I must've inadvertently chosen a lesser driver for at least one of the trucks. Dude was swerving all over the place and Franklin commented something along the lines of "This guy sucks!". I chose Taliana, I think she drove the other sports car. She probably could've done better in the truck, I don't know.

Yeah, I found 100%ing San Andreas noticeably less tedious than the others due to the stunt jumps not being required. Of course, you still had to do those awful mountain bike races.

I don't mind using an interactive map to find them, they are just crappy in general with little room for error.

Killing the poor guy might have been the kindest thing he did to him. The rape, destruction of his self esteem, bullying, letting him get beaten up and insistence his fiancee was cheating constantly was straight up cruel. Murder obviously is too, but at least it has a finite end.

Wait, what? When did that happen to him? I never saw it. The rest I kind of thought "Yeah, well, you can fix that, you just got to put yourself forwards." But that is a line. Kinda changes it now.

Especially hosed up then.

But yeah, the cutscene went from "Wow, Trevor suuuure is wacky, right guys?" to "Wow, Trevor sure is despicable."

The transition where Trevor is spooning him. If you hang around, Floyd starts sobbing. It's implied..

Trevor is an horrible and depraved guy, but he's that in the stereotypical way. Doing horrible things to be an horrible person.
It's to contrast that Michael is horrible because he's a selfish and hosed up person, and that Frank is stuck doing horrible things because of his situation.

Also post-game Trevor Strangers & Freaks: Does anything actually happen with Trevor's mum except him curling into a ball on the floor crying when he brings the truck back and she isn't there? Those two scenes with her were uh, something. After the game auto-swapped to Franklin wearing a suit and complimenting a random chick, I swapped back and he was crying into his meth pipe about it.

She seems to be linked to the epsilon thing in a way. She has red hair and that birthmark on her leg. Both those are mentioned in the epsilon evaluation. People with red hair are the only people not related to everyone else on the planet and a birthmark means she may be a descendant of Kraff. It doesn't seem like this is played on more in the epsilon missions though.
