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 :)).

Fuckload of words describing all the bad things in the game.

drat, you're not easy to please. This game is amazing, it's fun and maybe you should have just played it to have fun. And not to see a completion bar reach 100%.
Complaining that the gameworld is too big, that mountain lions (in the mountains!) can kill your character... Seriously?

EDIT: and the guy who called the game half-finished. What. There's 1 bug about cars not always saving, it's hardly game breaking. I never store cars in GTA games, just run around, take what you like, cruise with it until it explodes/you get bored (whatever comes first). Rinse and repeat.

Greetings from Vinewood hills!


Pretty cool that Rockstar social club site, it even adds hashtags to your pictures. By the way, I've heard people get certain rewards for linking their game with their account. Is it possible that this happened automatically? I don't remember doing that, but I can see my Rockstar crew friends online etc, so the game knows who I am. I just don't know if I got the rewards.

I ran out onto a highway to grab a car, and they didn't stop. Got beamed by a guy going 60 and I only lost half my health.

Hehe, reminds me of the time I was cruising the highway with a car. Saw a guy riding on a bike and decided that I wanted that bike. I shot the driver, bike went down but kept going in the opposite lane. Just before a giant dumptruck. So naturally, I did the responsible thing and swerved in the opposite lane. Handbrake turn so my car is blocking the road and my precious bike won't get run over by stupid trucks. There was some chaos after that, but I didn't care while I drove away into the sunset.

Isn't that the whole point? Only being able to select a few cars at the start of the game, so you level up and buy other, more exotic cars with your earned money/xp/Rockstar bucks? I don't really get why some of you are complaining about this.

So... I put my armored car heist escape car in the multistory car park near the golf course. The garbage truck doesn't fit in but the mission demands I drive it in there :eng99:

I think I've totally screwed my game.

Hmmm, can't you just blow up the garbage truck? You have to destroy it anyway. I parked my getaway car on some construction site, 2-3 miles from the place the heist was. Not sure I understand the concept, getaway car :D

I think that guy was referring to the Sony Pulse headset. I have it, and it's great. You can also easily use it on pc, just plug in the USB stick that's delivered with it (or the wire if you want that :)). You can manage the game volume and the voice volume seperatly from the headset, it's really nice. Although it costs ~100$.
Have a huge picture of it, and a review. Also, turn on the bass impact, that poo poo is annoying.

Or it encourages users to try different missions in stead of only grinding the ~optimal mission time/XP reward ratio~

Anyway, haven't tried online yet. Still haven't finished the main story, keep getting distracted. Right now I have to steal (minor middle game spoiler) certain cars for Devin. Is there a way to save them? I doubt I'll ever see a Z-type again in game.

Is it normal that Fort Zancudo stays in the fog forever? I stole the jet there with Franklin, flow around a bit and I swear I could see every detail of the army base on my map. Ofcourse I didn't save.
Next time, I steal the jet with Trevor, fly around some more, but now the fog remains on my map. :confused: Is there a certain altitude you have to reach before the fog clears? Just fly low? Or super high so you see lots of it at the same time?

Man this game owns. Just bursted out laughing when Franklin (spoiler from a Strangers & Freak mission) just talked to that dog to rescue the crashed parachute guy. "I'm getting smart-talked by a dog now? Sheet". So amazing.

And some more minor details (mid-gamish I think?): after Trevor kidnaps Madrozas wife, and brings her to his trailer, she starts cleaning it. It's really obvious, and she is very strict when Trevor starts sniffing gas. :allears: So many nice touches in this game.

Question about a certain cult I've encoutered: I received an email as Franklin, something about a website. I could then subscribe to that website and it made me do some sort of personality test. Then I could buy the next package and so on. Sort of like that thing Tom Cruise is in. Anyway, I blew 25k on this, do I get anything besides a T-shirt :)?

Can someone explain what the issue with installing the play disc is? I have not done it because I saw the warnings not to. Does it screw something up badly? Seems strange that it would happen like that.

From what I've read, the game is designed to read stuff from your HDD and the disk at the same time. Installing everything creates some sort of bottleneck, resultinng in poor performance and pop-in textures.

There is mist in this game right? Because I was playing today and my line of sight was incredibly short, and there was this white, well yeah, mist, hanging around buildings.

I might be playing the game different than all you guys, since I never have a problem with money. I've been playing for 30 hours, and I just don't buy that much. Bought the airstrip with Trevor, and smoke on the water with Franklin. Then I realized I don't want to pick up weed all day long, so didn't buy any other properties.
I don't spend money on upgrading my cars, because I wreck ~3 cars for every half mile I drive :)
I also don't buy that much guns or ammo, you get tons of ammo from some missions. My characters all have a full weapon wheel, and I didn't buy most of them.
Besides some money I spend on suits, tattoos and medical costs, I literally don't need money.

I've been playing for +30 hours and still haven't taken anyone to the cult. Wanted to take that one crazy lady that lives in the lighthouse, but I liked her dialogue too much. And she's a booty call for Trevor too. A couple days later I flew over there in my chopper, went inside, and when I came out, my chopper was parked under a carport. It blew up when I tried to fly away in it. That moment I wish I'd taken her to the cult :v:.
Another thing, I've never raided the weedfarm. Is it only available after you save Lamar from it? When the ballers try to execute him?

I'm about to do the last heist I think. Union depository right? I'm still not sure which approach to choose. The subtle approach looks cool if you pull it off, just pretend to be employees and steal everything and fly off in a helicopter. But the other approach seems also cool. Drilling a giant hole in the side of the building and escaping by car, hell yeah. Decisions, decisions.

Just finished the game (I stopped playing for a while, only had the last heist left), and why would anyone pick any other endgame option other than C? They're your friends. Don't kill them. gently caress everyone else up!

And also, the psychiatric report after the credits is a nice touch. I was very very lazy, probably because it took me so long to finish the game :v:

Just bought this game again for PS4. Man, it looks even nicer. Yesterday it started raining, and my jaw dropped. Doing a burnout in a puddle of water, watching it splash everywhere... Everything is just gorgeous.
And was there even that much wildlife in the PS3 version?
Too bad I can't transfer my single player progress. Ah well, time to blow through the story mode again :)
