Ok, dunno if this is a bug or not, but having some trouble - When I go to the top of Mt Chilad via cable car, I can't see the various select missions, or do anything in the map other than set waypoints. It's screwing with a mission that I need to do.

Better ending than the one I (and most people) got.


At the gun training, am I supposed to be able to get 2x and 3x multipliers with the minigun challenges? I squeeze only a little and it still seems to break the combo when the target flips up. I'm talking I squeeze and release without pause, but I still only barely got the first challenge at bronze.

Just spray from left to right. they are some of the easiest to gold.

Yup. That's why it's bugging me that it won't load correctly. I even tried hiking up there but still, no love.

Mine bugged out a couple of times as well. Once when I rode my helicopter up there and landed, and the second time when I parachuted. It only seems to load properly if you use the cable car. You should check a youtube guide so you can be sure you are in the correct place. Remember you can't see any mission prompts until you are actually near the dude.

To be fair 100% in GTA 5 is much easier than in the earlier versions. It's also not actually 100%, just 100% of the tasks that rockstar decided count for 100%. for example you only need to do 50% of the stunt jumps/fly under bridges/knife flights for 100%.

I never said I didn't like the game. I think it's excellent and one of the best games I've played all year. But it's not perfect and those are all things that bug me personally. Going for full completion (as in, experiencing everything the developers wanted the player to experience) and having fun are not mutually exclusive. I've had tons of fun playing the game, and I've had some frustration playing the game.

Okay, so cops can spawn in normal traffic, that's good to know. I just haven't seen them at all so far. My issue with the size of the world is that aside from LS itself, things are spread a bit thin is all. Mountain lions can be lethal and again, that's fine, but insta-kill is a bit much.

There's a lot of cool stuff with law enforcement. Like the FIB guys protecting the scientists at the satelites near the Senora Desert airfield. Or the unmarked crown vic trolling around shining flashlights at the homeless people. As well as highway cops on bikes sitting at the side of the highway. Also the fact that they switch from LSPD to sheriffs when you go outside Los Santos.

You really should pay more attention to the game instead of just following a guide. Coming from someone that also did 100%.

Unless I'm forgetting that isn't a haircut option.

There are 2 kind of barbers. The trashy ones and the upscale one. They have different hairstyles available. There's also a haircut when you link your account to rockstar social club I believe. I can't recall where the bald Trevor is from. But IIRC the bald Michael is from connecting to Rockstar Social club.

Some neat things I've found while loving around in LS:

Franklin can steal cars better than Michael and Trevor. If you don't have a wanted rating, he'll slimjim the lock open so you dont get alarms / broken windows! Sometimes he will just smash it though.


I belive this is tied to your driving skill/flying skill. I noticed the same when trying to steal the military plane with Michael before he hit 100. He had to kick the cockpit open, while after he hit 100 it opens on the first try. Pretty cool detail.

I don't know why people think Rockstar isn't ballsy enough to add a mall, or maybe a college (no early year schools because they'll never add kids to the game). They made a game called State of Emergency, which I bought and played, that was pretty much all about murdering large groups of people in malls.

Rockstar isn't shy about pushing the envelope.

I think adding a mall would be a bit too much "current event" even for R*.

Avoided a bit of a kafuffle last night. Wanted to see if BAWSAQ had gotten anywhere but noticed I wasn't signed in to Xbox Live. I attempt to do so, but it starts asking me security stuff I don't really have the access to. Then it wouldn't let me back in! Thankfully removing the wireless thingy and disabling the Internet for it let me back in to my save. I guess I won't be using the highly functional online ties for a bit then!

Video games used to be so simple...

You should probably fix that before it gets worse. It's a huge hassle to recover an account if you have to get a new Xbox, and you don't know the password/security questions, or have lost access to the email. Hell you might want to get a Xbone some day and you will need your login details as well.

I'm a bit confused about how the switching between protagonists works for the main storyline. I only have Franklin and Michael at the moment and notice the plot seems to be moving along regardless of who I start missions with - is the "you must play as X" requirement only for side activities?

The missions will be colored to the specific character. Michael is blue, Frankling green and Trevor will be orange. Some of the missions with more than one of the main characters will have slightly different cutscenes depending on who you start them with.

Most sidemissions are for one character only.

I think I might be bugged out of 100% completion.

All the counts of what I've done for % don't match what social says. For example, on the same page it shows which 12 misc events I've done up above on the pie chart it only says I've done 2/16 misc events. Same situations for hobbies and strangers/freaks. Only accurate count is the mission number.

The social club can be slow to update your progress. Especially if you switch between savegames often. Use the ingame counter until social updates.

No it's not worth it. And this is on a save that finished the main story 20+ hours ago.

Seeing as there's no long term history for all these stock options, it's safe to assume that they'll eventually return a profit? Because I just stuck everything in Pisswater. :ohdear:

Depending on when you invested in PIS you might want to load an earlier save. It seems to be in complete freefall and will likely be the next HAL stock and bottom out completely before recovering. I'd hold out a bit if you are still playing on your investment save.

Agreed, I'd say this is a full game. These days, at least. Back in The Day we could expect this for an average in some RPGs but nowadays I have to avoid the $60 titles with about 7 hours' playtime. Of the things that bug me about this game - which are few enough - none of them are how limited it is.

I got more playtime out of GTA 5 in the last week than I did from my entire 350+ Steam library the last year. It's really rare for games to be worth more than 5$. Which is also why I don't mind buying actual good games for full price on release. There's just so few releases that are worth buying.

Edit: Heck even other open world series feel completely poo poo compared to GTA 5. I got less than 3 hours in both Saints Row 3 and Sleeping Dogs before I got bored of them, and I paid full price for those as well.

I thought all of the assassination missions only affected LCN stocks, since those aren't affected by other players. I haven't done them yet but I was assuming that they wouldn't work like that otherwise since everyone's doing those missions at different times.

Pißwasser (PIS) is probably a save bet if you can wait it out. HAL also seems to keep rising but you are getting in late if you invest in that.

I figured they couldn't let you kill one of the characters because there are things only certain characters can do. But does it change any outcomes?

E: 100% talk: I got a Strangers & Freaks missions called "The Last One", Franklin only. In it, you meet a crazy one-eyed hunter around Mt. Chiliad who's hunting Sasquatches and tells you to go find one nearby. And you do. Except it's a dude in a sasquatch suit... that also barks. :confused: Maybe it has something to do with the talking dog Franklin finds whenever Dom is in trouble?

Franklin might be crazier than both Trevor and Michael.

Can you tell exactly how you got that mission to spawn? I thought it was a Trevor mission tied to the Altruists.

It took a few days. I slept maybe four times, then played as Trevor for a bit just messing about for a while. It didn't take that long. I suggest you just do whatever for a while and it'll spawn eventually.

You won't even have to switch, just bring up the switch menu and the character's little picture will have a "1" on it to indicate they have an available mission.

I'm more interested in what side missions you did before you got it to spawn. Since my save is at 100% and I have played for more than 10 hours after I hit 100%. And it hasn't spawned for me yet.
