Trevor smells goddamn awful 24/7, so if he stands upwind of any Deer they'll smell him from miles away. The texting gimmick is to tell Cletus "here is my kill, come collect it".

Oh yeah, I get why they're there and everything, it's just that they might seem a little clunky and stopping the flow. I do like how the wind direction idea encourages you to be a little more strategic however.

On the topic of the rampages, I think someone mentioned a while ago that some throwaway text on Bleeter or LifeInvader talks about seeing a crazed man pretending to kill non-existent people or something, anything to that? That sort of thing would feed the theory I've seen floating around the Internet regarding (post-game stranger mission spoilers) Trevor's mother and how he could possibly be hallucinating her being there. It's pretty neat that, for all of the divides people have expressed about the character, we're still asking these questions.

The set-up to the army rampage is the best. I have a feeling the developers might enjoy that one.

Call Tonya? She has several towing jobs after the last time you saw her on the street. The final one will have her waiting in the same spot again.

See that's weird because with the Barry S&Fs Michael killing all the aliens ends in him just talking to the guy afterwards, but Trevor's clowns leave people corpses lying around after the hallucination is over. so I'd have thought the rampages were real. Guess not!

Its my party
and I'll die if
I want to
I was doing the paparazzi missions for Beverly, and I was chasing the starlet. I don't know if its scripted, but one of the cop cars chasing her slammed into an oncomming car and they both spun off down the cliff.

Saints Row has really spoiled me with its collectable finders. The effort to go around and collect all the ufo and letter pieces does not feel like effort I want to put into the game, even with an reference map. Speaking of that, in the FIB program about the gangs, the screens showing the gangs and their gang colours are super SR looking.

Okay, so all the money making guides I have found just talk about assassinations, but I have nowhere near enough money at this time to make that worthwhile. I can make money on the stock market, but the return is pretty low, at least when comparing to the cost of the properties. Maybe it was dumb spending the money from the first job on lots of clothes and weapon upgrades?

I do have one complaint about the game the torture mission. Did they feel the need to actually have us torture the guy? Couldn't they have just cut to Mike and slowly fed info to him, and not have us shock or waterboard the guy? I was honestly disturbed by that. Maybe Rockstar was trying to show how brutal these methods are, but forcing you to do it, just left me with a bad feeling. GTA games are about playing someone who is an unrepentant psychopath, but that really took the cake.

So many of the times I've switched to Michael, he's wearing flip flops, at least once he was wearing them with a suit.

The worst part? The guy is completely innocent and is making up the answers. I think you can shoot ANYONE at the party that matches the first part of his description.

1. Forget about making serious amounts of money until the final job. You'll know it when you do it; even the characters refer to it as the final job.

2. The game is making a point. You are perfectly fine with killing some guy without any good reason (or even a clear description really). Property theft and wanton destruction aren't a problem. You are fine with killing dozens of gang members in giant shoot outs. You're okay with killing a shitload of cops for various reasons. But torturing a guy and letting him live is what bothers you. Never mind that you're literally playing as a murderously insane meth head with questionable ethics.

I'd say your disgust is exactly what Rockstar intended. Either you enjoy it (and believes killing for entertainment is harmless), or you're offended by it. What's really odd is the same kind of poo poo is shown on prime time television every single day, and yet the scene manages to be incredibly powerful.

He is not making it up, he is having trouble remembering because he is being tortured. He says he would have told them everything if they had just asked. They were asking him questions he did not understand, and then torturing him as though it would help. The questions are so vague because Steve just assumes he is knowingly hiding info when he really is just ignorant.

You're wrong. Replay the mission. You really can just shoot anyone with a beard and immediately complete it. You need to read the subtext of the scene.

You have the shoot the "right" guy but can do it at any time, I think. I shot a middle-eastern guy with a beard who was smoking and failed the mission for being pre-emptive with it or the guy being innocent or something, but I'm pretty sure it was because the guy I shot was right handed since I hadn't heard the left-handed bit yet. Also I didn't notice anyone else who fit the description until I went through the full thing again and got that last detail, which didn't really help either.

I never caught the leverage Steve had over Dave. Dave was obviously dirty in ways, but seemed reluctant to do everything Steve wanted.

I also was surprised you didn't hear about the nerve toxin again. From Dave's reaction at the end of the mission I assumed they were going to sell it for profit themselves.

I mean, it's not horrific. It's more just basic lacking in social cues, Ned and Steve are both out of the gate saying "I don't play video games". Ned even says he wasn't interested in doing a video game, and when they told him it was a Rockstar game, he had no idea who they were.

And yet despite all that, the second question is "What other video game characters would you like to voice?". Although I did appreciate Ogg's continued annoyance at the guy who kept calling them voice actors, on account of the fact that they spent three years in mocap getting their entire performances and likenesses into the game.
