People always talk about Trevor's best switches, but Michael angrily staring at an empty slip in the marina and cursing Jimmy is the best switch.

Alright so is there any way I can skip the you-know-what mission? I am seriously not comfortable playing that. Shelving the game until I can go back to cruising down highways to Rihanna and stalking celebrities.

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 protagonists all have their own individual missions that only they can trigger as well as "team" missions that can be started by any of the characters who are taking part, though there are often missions that can only be started by a single character where the other 2 become involved later.

Something I got early on but always wondered about, concerning Franklin's clothing: He has three or four "Urban Riders" outfits that are kinda cool, everything is black or silver and looks like it's meant for motorcycle riding. I didn't start the game with them, but they were definitely there after five or six missions.

Anyone know how I unlocked these, and if Michael and Trevor have similar unlocks as well? I have the Special Edition, so maybe it's that?

You get them when Lamar gives you the Bagger. I guess that Franklin joins the Uptown Riders (Black Motorcycle Gang) from TLaD.

They should have got the writers of Spec OPs: the Line (really underrated indie game that serves as a criticism of military shooters) to do the torture scene. I feel they could have gotten some really positive introspection out of the scene and bought some maturity to GTA V.

I think it's cool that they made one of the main characters homosexual/bisexual without making his sexuality the defining part of him.

He's a straight dude who fucks men prison rape style. Hardly what I'd call a progressive depiction of homosexuality.

Where did I say it was a portrayal of the gay population? I just thought it was cool they made a queer character that didn't have his whole schtick be that he was a token gay character.

It's really cool that the insane rapist doesn't act like a stereotypical flamboyant gay. I'd be pretty offended if it was Florian from GTA 4 going around forcing himself on other men.

I tried this and it ended up being a one hitter quitter which, while hilarious, considered him to be dead which I didn't want.

All but one of my bail bond guys died this way which is a pain because it's one of the few ways for Trevor to catch up money-wise after the first heist.

Totally my fault because I kept punching the guys after the first one died, but still.

Thanks for the link, not too keen on the stock market overall. Don't bring accountancy into my murder simulator.

Anyway, it's hilarious watching my brother play this. He's killing a lot more people, and has far worse aim, so a lot of NPCs are giving Franklin constant poo poo for it which they didn't do for me. Does the game really take that much into account or is it just front loaded?

I know the psychiatrist talks about how much mayhem you cause and whether you make Michael root strippers and prostitutes.

I think he says it regardless. I've never touched a stripper or prostitute with Michael but I'm always getting accused of it. Maybe Michael cheats when I'm not playing him.

I never do and Michael is always deadpan "Nope" when asked about his sexual escapades. I went to one before turning it off tonight for 100% so I'm curious as to what he's gonna say when I meet him next time.

Just noticed thread title change. Love it.

I was kinda surprised these were required for 100% (well half anyway). Only game I bothered getting 100% on was SA and I'm pretty sure even back then they realized searching across the map for unmarked stunt jumps was kinda lame.

Probably wouldnt mind as much if they at least showed up on social, even just the ones you've completed, but gently caress it.

I don't mind using an interactive map to find them, they are just crappy in general with little room for error.

I don't understand the logic behind anyone doing something different. The game lays everything out that it's like

A: Help super douchbag who hosed you over and gloated about it the whole time?
B: Help the alternative but still collossal rear end in a top hat who hosed you over 10 times as worse?
C: gently caress THOSE FUCKERS AND gently caress THEM UP YEAAAAAAAH DEATHWISH BABY

I just don't understand anyone who is like "HMM... Well Steve was such a pal to me the whole game so I'll kill Trevor as a favor to him. I mean he always kept his word when he said this was the last job right?" or similar for Devin. The dudes spent the entire game loving you left and right and laughing in your face about it why the gently caress would you not pick the gently caress you option?

Because Trevor hurt your feelings by being a psycho meanie?

I can see it if you really hate Michael or Trevor, but I agree it's a stretch.

Also, Option C being labeled "Deathwish" might imply to some players that Franklin's probably going to die, so they're picking their least favorite character not even considering that C might be the "good ending".

I considered that, but I thought "gently caress it" anyway because I'd rather one/all of my dudes go out guns blazing than having 1 die like a bitch. I liked Michael and Trevor way more than Frank anyway.

It would have actually been really cool if they made Devin/Steve playable to replace Michael/Trevor if you picked A or B. A ton of (mostly unnecessary) work on their end, but losing a character forever is really weird.

I was thinking Jimmy/Wade/Lamar.

I just did all the Sonar Collections Dock stuff in one run, one sitting. Took almost 2 hours, gently caress. I never want to get in a submarine or go underwater again. My sub looked like a crushed up yellow soda can by the time I was done. gently caress this place. Looks like there's some new strangers and freaks stuff that unlocks after you get the waste though, so we'll see if it was worth it or not.

Don't do the sub part collection for your own sanity. It's not part of 100% and the reward is $10 and the meagre catharsis you get from beating the NPC who gave you the quest to death for wasting your irl time
