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.

There's a whole bunch of stuffs about crews in the private game forum thingy.

Since this thread is new, how about a spoiler thread so 1/2 this one isn't full of black bars?

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?

Done this first assasination with Franklin about 30 loving times now, it's absolute bullshit, he gets grazed by 2 bullets and goes down every loving time.

gently caress ME, I've never been so frustrated at a game before. I did this a couple of times before but gave up, now I got to a point where I loving HAVE to do it.

EDIT: GOD loving drat IT! It's so loving frustrating becuase normally I'd just give up and move onto another game, but I want to keep going.

Park on top of the car park and snipe him. I think the game even suggests you get to a vantage point.

Someone made Michael look like Walter and even got the R.V. and put the bullet holes in the door. This was all posted in the last thread and I'm too lazy to look for it because it was like 50 pages ago.

Which radio stations do you find yourself enjoying the most? I can't seem to get into any of the rock stations so I usually hang out with West Coast Classics. Those are some smooth beats.

I usually chill out with Channel X, The talk show channel and every now and then Rebel Radio.

This game needs K-dust, K-rose and Kabron from Saints Row.

How the hell are you supposed to do Franklins first weed smuggling mission for Barry? I somehow managed to run off fine the first try, but since the game didn't give you any note that there would be a time limit, I stopped by at Ammonation to stock up and noticed the tiny timer box in the corner too late. The yellow dot was at the nose of my car when the timer ran out. :negative:

Now I can't loving do it anymore. The truck sucks rear end, there's the timelimit and immediate 3 stars, no matter where or how I drive, the game pulls the usual GTA trick of spawning cop cars out of thin air right where you're heading. One time I drove behind a completely empty warehouse yard thinking I could lose them, when a one single cop materialised out of nowhere, like literally popped in right in front of me and started shooting at me, resetting the alarm level. :psyduck:

This is the first mission to make me ragequit (twice now). I thought I was clever and shoot the cops watching over the truck before going in, but of course they spawn back as soon as you leave the area.

It took me 8 attempts. I worked it into a system of before I leave with the truck I set my own target to the place it needs to be dropped off at, when that done I then drive as fast as I can with the cops and drive along train tracks and ally ways and across the beach etc.

Uh, unless you ran somewhere you shouldn't be, you have to kill a lot of cops and blow up a decent amount of equipment to get to five stars.

One star is alerted, two stars is aggressive, three is helicopters, four is SWAT, five is... helicopter SWAT I think?

I may have blown up a car or two by throwing grenades out of the window. I usually end up dying to people shooting me out of helicopters just for a minor offense of hitting a cop car that escalates into me killing a whole bunch of cops that are psychic and no exactly where I am hiding even when I'm all the way out of sight.

Put it this way - I died 4 times and each time achieved at least a 4 star wanted level driving from Trevors house to the airfield to do the drug running. Then I turned off my console.

Lets see if I can get a definitive answer on the new thread.

If I store a vehicle in a garage, an actual garage, and I take it out on a mission, abandon it or it blows up or whatever will it respawn in the garage or will it be gone forever?

edit: I just parked a car as Franklin and got out just and for some reason I got a wanted rating and a cop instantly killed me. What?

So at around the half point mark in the game, I believe, my characters all seem to have gravitated towards a certain gun. Did this happen for everyone else as well? Trevor has thousands of shotgun ammo, Michael has a lot of carbine ammo, and Franklin has a bunch of SMG/Pistol ammo. I never really visited Ammunation except for missions that required you to buy stuff. Do they pick up ammo on their own when you aren't controlling them? Mission rewards?

For some reason my Trevor has over 10000 shotgun shells. I know for a fact I've never bought more than 200.

I found the Zion Cabrio I'd been looking for after a day of searching. My garage was full and so I went inside to make space. It was gone when I came back out. :suicide:

I later learned to love the safehouse garage as a holdover for the main one. So long as you always have one space open SOMEWHERE, you can make it work. Switch between characters if you need to.

Doing the Kifflom quests now, Jesus Christ is one of them tedious.

So wearing a robe for 10 days? Since i have no other side-missions or main missions left with Michael, i either better find something to with him or pass the time by sleeping in his bed 40 times.

I hope i get to go town on those Epsilon fuckers.

But seriously, missions like these should be cut, they don't add to anything, they're just tedious chores.
And yeah, i've spoiled myself enough that i know Epsilon will make me run around in a desert for an hour.

Doesn't make it easier that Michael changes clothes on his own everytime you change to another character, so you'll have to play as Michael the entire time, no way of passing the time doing stuff for the other characters.
