Where's the spoiler thread? It's not linked in the OP which was updated today, and I can't find the thread soooooo

Just a little request, can someone please tell me what happens in the Lazlo cutscene? I accidentally skipped it an I don't want to do that mission again, I hate driving the semi-truck. Thanks.

Trevor really is despicable. As soon as the game gave me control after his disgusting intro cutscene, I ran to the nearby gas station and shot the pump to kill myself.

I love this game though. It has some nasty blemishes but overall it's incredible.

I've been impressed with how few glitches I've had in this really, for an unpatched game.

This too. I haven't experienced a single glitch! It's night and day from the last huge open world thing I played at launch (AC3 :smith:)

It's so interesting to see how many people liked the radio stations.

The pop station felt really lousy this time around. Im guessing the costs of pop tracks are higher or something? Because out of everything that has happened in pop, 'good' 'bad' and otherwise between 2008 and 2013 (One in particular, that was at least on everyone's mind in one way or the other between 08-10 being absent from a POP radio station is a shock), this is what we get?
Outside of 'work', 'glamourous' (think about trevor rolling aorund the desert to this, or even through northern los santos) and 'with every heartbeat' i pretty much go silent, listen to see if anything decent is on world fm or cross my fingers for ambient tracks.
After 3 listens I heard everything the talk radio stations had to offer, and those are always so great.

I'm not sure how it works either but I could see Britney and Rihanna taking up a big chunk of that pop budget.

I'm kinda underwhelmed by the music this time around, to be honest. The DJs are great though (tagged just in case someone wants to be surprised by the DJs, I dunno) Bootsy Collins, Kenny Loggins, Pam Grier! :swoon:

I just want to be sure I'm not missing anything with the phone. When you get emails, you hit X (PS3) to reply and that's the only way to reply, right? All of my emails have the red reply arrow at the bottom, but I can only reply to certain ones. For example I can reply to Brad and Ron but not to Maude - even though her email seems like she wants a reply. :confused: Why is the reply arrow there if I can't reply? Or am I doing something wrong?

Can you still walk Chop and play fetch with him once you move house? Chop isn't triggering now that I'm at my tacky mansion, it's like I can't interact with him anymore. I did walk him in Los Santos however I botched the fetch thing. I threw his ball and it like, cliipped into Auntie's house and got stuck and I couldn't figure out how to get it again. Now I'm at Vinewood and can't seem to interact with Chop at all.

I hate to be all, MY TROPHIES :qq: but I need to play fetch with him for a trophy or it counts toward completion or something, I don't recall exactly.

VVV Yeah it's not working. I think I broke something :ohdear: VVV

For the random event when someone gets their wallet stolen and you chase them down, is it ever worth to actually give it back? Normally they just give me about 10% of the value. Do they ever give you something better?

One of the wallet guys gives you a bunch of stock shares.

What I want to know is if you do the "bad" thing for random events, does it still count towards 100 completion.

I wouldn't bother trying to change cars if the cops are anywhere near you. While the carjacking animation plays they'll catch up and shoot the tires of the new car. If you can just keep going and make turns, eventually you'll lose them, including the helicopter. I'm pretty bad at games and I haven't been busted or killed once by police, not even when I stormed the airport while trying to defog the map. That was instant 4 stars iirc.

One thing, though: I haven't found bushes to be useful for hiding. The cops seemed to see right through the bushes, more than once. Maybe I wasn't hiding right, I dunno.

The bolded things are required (so, stunt plane shouldn't be a requirement, for the person who was wondering earlier). All of the random events are bolded because you can do any 14 of them.

Okay, I put all my money (only about 1m across all characters) in PIS (PS3) this morning. I punched cows, defogged the map, and did other fun stuff for a verrrry long time, and save-slept several times. I don't see any change in the stock, is this normal? I thought it was rising for everybody? I bought it on BAWSAQ, not LCN. Was that right? When I invest for assassinations do I buy on LCN or BAWSAQ?

:downs: I wish someone would just make a good GTA Stocks for Dummies/Babbies post, or even a thread just for stocks discussion. I don't understand this at all, and have like a hundred questions about it.

Bohemian Nights posted:

The LCN stocks is supposed to be, but isn't really at the moment, based on ingame factors, and will change in ingame time. Easiest way to exploit this market is to just do the assassination missions with lester, and invest all your bux across all characters into precisely what he tells you to invest in.

The stocks found in the LCN are not the same stocks you find on the BAWSAQ however, which is internet based, and changes in real time. So, you can be doing stuff for quite a while in the game without seeing fluctuations in the bawsaq market, which only updates periodically, and obviously much slower than the LCN.

Any stock tips you'll find in this thread that's not based on special ingame events will always relate to the BAWSAQ market, since that's the only market that has the same value for everyone on the same console.

So Lester = LCN
This thread = BAWSAQ?

That makes sense. I was getting nervous about it because I have basically no money now, and it doesn't look like I can sell part of the stock to get some cash, there's only an option to sell ALL. I can be patient though. It helps that the hospital only charges my broke rear end $30.

I just checked that Reddit guide, and realized that I've already done at least 2 Lester missions (possibly three, I can't remember) and didn't invest anything. gently caress. I knew stocks were a part of this game but I didn't anticipate that stock manip would be pretty much the only way to make big money in a game about heists. It's ~realistic~ I guess...

I'm just going to barrel through the campaign and use the billionare checklist for my next run
