Oh good lord. I beached a dinghy to get near a parachute spot but the boat slid like 50 feet across the beach and ended up hitting a dog and pinning it under the boat :(

I was just about to Old Yeller it with a silenced shottie when it popped up and ran off.

Sorry, little doggie.

Final Dom mission spoilers: So after finishing all the parachute jumps I got a final mission with Dom where it seems like I'm supposed to stop him from jumping off the dam. Every time I do it he jumps off and dies and I pass the mission with a 50%. How do I 100% this one?

How the hell do you trigger that last mission? loving thing won't show up for me.

ahah I also noticed Patricia, Madrozo's wife, tidies the trailer quite nicely after she moves in. It's abit unsettling though... she's old enough to be Trevor's mother and makes comments like "you boys are so messy" and "your mothers were too easy on you" so she's definitely a mother figure. But T is crushing on her anyways?! I guess he wasn't kidding about the incest comments earlier in the game but... goddamn Rockstars, save it for the sequel would ya?

And I'm confused as to what I should spoiler tag, since I don't think these are too spoilery and I myself don't like looking at all the black bars in the thread...
There's a post-main-story mission that makes a lot of this stuff a little bit clearer. And weirder.

I think my favourite moment in this game so far is when (small time bank heist): the small town police chief is smugly telling you to come out and that they've got the situation out of control then you just walk out decked out in super armour with a gatling gun being held by a lunatic and suddenly every cop car is on fire.
The reveal on that was absolutely amazing.

I want North Yanktown. One thing I noticed during those missions was they had a special "gently caress this" trudging animation for deep snow. That's an insane touch to add for something that gets a total of like 30 minutes in the game.

It's amazing how a mission that's literally just a 20 minute drive in a slow rear end, hard to drive truck became one of my favorite moments in the game just because of the dialogue.

edit:VVV Next time you hang with Lamar as Trevor, call up Frank. "Franklin! Me and Lamar are gonna hood it up you should come!"
I can never get the Big Three together, one of them is always busy, so Lamar is my backup homeboy.

I still need to get him and Franklin together for a movie. I was close to one once and Lamar was talking about how he wanted to go see a show and make white people uncomfortable by shouting at the screen. But there were no movies playing and the game just ate my $40 :(

All of the cars should have a consistent spawn place somewhere. Would certainly lead to fun adventures. Especially if you could add cars you've found to the special menu in the garages.

I've seen 1 of them like 20 times since finishing the mission so I guess the key is to get them 'loaded' into memory or whatever.

Last night I was driving around the mountains on a dirt bike finishing off parachute jumps. I crashed on a bridge, and when I got up and got back on my bike there was a cop standing next to his car on the far side of the bridge. Then I got a 1-star wanted level for some reason and he started shooting at me, so I popped him and drove off with a 2-star. No cops anywhere nearby. I start pushing up a hill towards the last parachute I need, and my wanted level jumps to 3 stars and there's a helicopter just off-screen now with 2 cruisers magically appearing at the top of the goddamn mountain above me.

I give up at this point and down the chopper for 4 stars, then drive past the tiny dirt trail above with the 2 cruisers and reach the top of the mountain. 2 more choppers appear in about 5 seconds, and 4 more cruisers conveniently come onto the screen on the tiny trail on the other side of the mountaintop.

:psyduck: Why'd they do away with the RDR witness system? Does the PD have 3 choppers randomly flying around the boonies at all times of the day? Are cruisers equipped for off-roading up hills on tiny dirt tracks? :psyduck:

I poured all my money into Pibwasser Last night and its down to 8 Bucks. Soon though it will rise and I'll have enough to buy the scrapyard. It has a high of $150, so I hope everything pans out.

I put about $5 million into HAL across my characters at 78 cents because losing that money won't really affect me, but if it shoots up it could mean the difference between "can literally never afford any more properties" to "can comfortably pick up everything except the golf course".

I wonder how it's affected. Shooting bullets? Killing soldiers?

I ran over a fence on Franklin's bike and caught tangled up and fell off. When I got on, the gas tank was spilling fuel as I drove around so I lit it on fire for funsies. The bike eventually exploded while I called a fire truck, and the fire spread to a passing car which continued to burn out as the fire truck showed up and I tried to escape the wanted level I'd earned.

No don't add it to the OP, it's wrong. You don't need to do all that, in shops you can rob, you can pull out your gun inside no problem. And you still can't rob clothes shops with his method.

You can rob any non-convenience store by whipping out your gun outside and putting a few rounds into the door before you walk in; it'll start a panic in the shop and you can keep your weapon out when you enter. Then just shoot the registers until they spit out money.

You will also sometimes find empty convenience stores when you go to rob them; you just walk behind the register and it gives you the option to take the money. And then you shoot the second register, always, for more bling.

If you're reading this and thinking about getting GTAV, only get it if you plan on spending most of the time in GTAO, because it feels like this series just turned into a MP franchise instead of single player. Mediocre Rockstar is still a good game, but not for full price.

It sounds like you're angry you don't know about the taxi system, don't have auto-aim or the radar turned on, and missed that Franklin and Lester specifically talk about Lester's financial interests in all the people you assassinate.

I've found the game to have the most interesting story so far from the GTA universe, and aside from some glaring omissions (aiming while driving without shooting, leaving cars running, etc.) it's improved in pretty much every way over IV.

I do agree about spennding most of your time in GTA:O, though. The 55 hours I have in SP (good lord what have I been doing all week) is going to get easily eclipsed by hundreds of hours online if it's anywhere near what they're advertising.

I wonder how the stocks really work. If I were to do it, I'd have the stocks be based off of actions of users. However many times users do some action, it affects a certain stock however that action would affect it in real life. So buying lots of guns makes the gun stock go up. Blowing up a certain car makes that stock go down. Then every once in a while the stock dives or rises back to its original levels. Otherwise, we'll end up with Hawk and Little being worth millions of dollars per share.

Hahaha, the rubberbanding AI in the Freeway street race is so bad you're better off using a loving Prius than a fully modded sports car. The Prius basically can't go fast enough to lose much control and the AI just matches whatever speed you're going so taking a super-fast car (it's topped out near 200 mph with Franklin's ability) is pointless because you just have to fight it that much harder to stay on the course.

Between controller aiming forever being poo poo and the cops being 90% accurate I have no issues using lock-on in this game. It's the only way to survive on foot for more than 10 seconds when you end up surrounded and need a short break to switch vehicles.
