After trevor's mid game mission to capture the Merryweather plane. Is there anything to check out after it crashes? I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out a way to get the sub to the alamo sea. It seems like the easiest way would be to get a cargobob (which seem to be a rare spawn in the military base, or 2.2 mil to buy) and lift the sub you get from the dock property. What's the easiest way to get 2.2 mil without cheating, anyway?

Edit: I haven't hung out with anyone yet. I really should. The dialogue in this game is great.

Get in the sub, then get out so you're in the scuba suit. Take a boat into the lake, you should still be wearing the suit.

As for what's down there, (midgame) I found a broken up plane down there where I thought it had crashed but the colors were slightly different. Found some guns and a package thing but I don't know what the package was, I didn't get any money or anything.

Holy poo poo, I was loving around near the train yard as Trevor, and saw a lone rail worker standing around. "What the hell," I says, and go to deck him. Motherfucker ducks my first punch, shouts "hell yeah, I NEED this" and starts boxing me. I gave him a fair fight just for being a rad dude.

Proper fist fights are actually quite fun. I've had full on brawls break out everywhere from tram stations to hospitals to the middle of the highway. As far as I know if you taunt somebody and they start the fight, the police won't show up either. (Until someone pulls a gun)

So is there an active Goon presence on Rockstar Social Club, or will we be starting a new Goon Squad crew when GTA: Online launches next week? I had much rather play with goons than random pubbies and I think we should put a link to the active crew(s) in the OP.

I was perfect on the Madrazzo quest where you're meant to shoot down the jet as Michael and chase the wreckage as Trevor on a Sanchez, right up until I only had to leave the observatory parking lot with the van. (mid-to-late mission spoiler) It took me five goddamn tries to leave a parking lot and blow up a stupid van.

One time I hung up the van on a fence and insta-failed for wrecking too close to the observatory, once I dove out of the van to drive it off a cliff but jumped out two seconds too late and wrapped Michael up in a tree, and the other two time I managed to blow the fucker up and got killed by a GODDAMN MOUNTAIN LION!

This game is fun.

There was this one. But it was pre-game release and it never really seemed to take off.

Also - If I take a car out of my garage and abandon it on a mission what happens to it? Does it find its way back home, does it get impounded? or does the car fairy take it?

One complaint I have, and it's not something that I'm even blaming Rockstar for, is that there's a gently caress-bomb about every thirty seceonds, even if your just driving your car around. My little girl likes to watch me drive around acting foolish and making jumps in GTA games (no shooting or missions or anything), and every time you drive within a foot of a ped or another car, someone's yelling "gently caress YOU YOU loving gently caress". I eventually had to go up into the sticks for my crazy driving, but luckily she thinks it's hilarious when I drive a truck down a mountain at top speed.

The ragdoll button is a huge hit with her, too. I kept climbing on higher and higher stuff and jumping off, and there's nothing like the laughter of a small child watching a hillbilly land head first in a parking lot after jumping off a bar roof. I capped it off by driving into the city and diving off the top of the skyscraper that's being built.

I agree. I let my kid play GTAIV out in the industrial area where he would be relatively free of people, but this game is tough to avoid the swearing. I turned off the FX and just did music but even the commercials are pretty bad.

He had a blast driving the boat in the ocean though. Tons of open water for him to cruise on and no distractions.

On an unrelated note, I'm pretty sure I saw a Sasquatch at some point in the game. I've been back to the state park next to Mt. Chilliad to search for it, but to no avail as of yet. I know it exists somewhere in this game and I'll find that thing and kill it before it can eat another baby!

That's because it's a game meant for adults. If you don't want your kids to hear swearing or see any violence then don't play the loving game around them. It's that simple.

That doesn't take into account the underwater poo poo to explore that doesn't exist in SA.

And really GTA 5 feels gigantic compared to their older games. I almost never feel like I've been to the same area twice.

The knife in this game is pretty brutal for some reason. I was just walking around, noticed I had a knife so decided to test it on some random guy. Just one stab in his stomach and he fell down to the ground. Made me feel a bit uneasy, which is weird, because I have no problem shooting or driving over people (in the game ofcourse :)).

What is this using for reference? It looks like they just took the San Andreas map of Los Santos, made it some arbitrary size, and then compared it to Los Santos from GTAV. Also saying that San Andreas doesn't use repeated buildings? That's blatantly false and leads me to believe whoever made this was just tripping on nostalgia.

I have very few complaints about this game, but everything regarding saving cars and customization is just baffling. I gave up on trying to do any of that poo poo a long time ago and I don't know what they were thinking. It's just loving terrible, especially after playing Saints Row where you could actually reliably save and access things.

Pretty sure whoever made the comparison map is a moron. They're assuming the airports are identically sized in both, so that's the scale reference.

There's only one comparison that should be believed, and that's the one which compared map sizes based on the sizes of the characters. That made it look like the Los Santos metro area was a tad larger than all of GTA4, and it sure feels that way.

You know, Trevor is basically the perfect GTA character. There is absolutely nothing you can do in the game that is out of character for Trevor. Take a Porche offroad to run down mountain lions? Totally Trevor. Help an old lady get her purse back? Totes Trev. Keep the purse anyway? Yup that works. No more of this smalltime guy trying to make it big, more characters that are just forces of chaos and anger with complete self awareness. It just works.
