another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Just beat the game. If you don't choose Option C, you're not doing GTA right, because that was the most GTA final mission I've ever played.

I knew it wouldn't be satisfying killing Michael or Trevor, and I wouldn't have been happy with the game and story ending that way. I went with C hoping/figuring that would avoid that.

I picked Stretch off with a sniper rifle, jumped on I-5, and his homies never caught up. I didn't give a crap about Cheng in the game but blew him up with a couple quickly tossed stickies. Had a little trouble losing his guys. The one who really deserved popped was Haines and it was the choice between the sniper rifle and the rocket launcher to me. I chose the latter. Sorry about that, camera guy.

And then Devin Weston got what he had coming to him in the most smug (on T/M/F's part) finish possible. Finishing he and Haines were satisfying.


Awesome. I just hope they follow through with some more single player story DLC, because I could get behind another mini-story or a couple more heists.

e- Also, drat the cops were hard to lose on the last heist. My first thought was to head for the hills. It didn't work. Then I went for the RR tracks hoping for a short tunnel. Again, no luck. At that point, I ended up jacking the power plant security car and promptly put it in the water on accident. Against all odds, I stole a Sheriff's car.

TL;DR: Once you get out of the garage, head for the railroad tracks just outside town. Turn BACK TOWARD LS, and park in the tunnel which is several miles long.


e- Is Dr. Friendlander's report which shows immediately after the credits customized based upon your play or is it just a standard thing everyone gets?

Killing Steve Haines with a rocket launcher sounds like overkill, but you're playing as Trevor so I guess there's really no such thing.

I do kinda wish they had made the whole thing into a multi-part finale. The bit with Devin was perfect, as was Stretch going out like a bitch, but it felt like it should've been harder and required a bit more setup to take out both Haines and Cheng given their roles in the story
.

Also, did you do the final heist with the modded cars? Because the other way is more profitable and requires less setup, which is kind of baffling, but there it is.

I did the heist with the drill and helicopters.

I came across something (and I think a video to back it up) where, after the story ends, if Michael steals a police car, loses the wanted stars, and gets it back to his garage, he can go on pseudo-police missions in the car while wearing the Highway Patrol uniform (if he's fired upon, he can call 911 for backup and they'll help him/he can intervene in an ongoing police chase and not get in trouble for it).

How does that work?

e- I miss the Vigilante missions from GTA:SA and want to relive them in some way, even if there's no benefit.

Making this its own post for those interested:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1S54bbcQxU

TL;DR-

-As Michael, go to the nearest police station (Vinewood seems to be closest).
-Pick out a patrol car of your choice (Crown Vic or the Fusion-looking cruiser).
-Steal it and run, preferably back toward home.
-Enter the Wanted Down cheat:
--PS3 — R1, R1, CIRCLE, R2, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT
--Xbox 360 — RB, RB, B, RT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT
-Take cruiser back to Michael's home garage.
-Save game.
-After save, put on Highway Patrol uniform.

It looks like some situations appear as random events on the map, while others can be "created" by pulling someone over, calling 911, and engaging the enemies in some sort of fight. The backup will shoot them for/alongside you.

It might. It's only demonstrated with Michael, but I guess the uniform can be accessed by Trevor as well. The video creator didn't specify.

I am sure a hacker knows all about rewarding and accomplished behavior. I mean, raping a chick with some mickeys is the same is getting laid right? Same result amirite guys? Nothing like work and not having to do it and get that sweet sweet payoff. :smug:
While that looks cool, it doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary gameplay. Without a cop uniform you can do all of those same things, if you call the cops.

I guess I am slightly unsure of the taser, but seeing as the guy doesn't use real guns, I suspect that would break the AI and gain him a wanted star.

The vigilante still looks fun. Thankfully ps4 version is real close.

The video showed Michael chasing a criminal in the desert and hitting him with the car. It looked like there were blue and red icons on the map which he could use to find them & the cop says "Thanks for the help. Make sure to leave this part out of the report." Does that happen other times?

Yeah, any time you've got at least a 1-star rating, cop cars in your vicinity will show up as red and blue icons on the map. None of this is anything special that isn't just playing around with the AI as it is.

This might've been that scripted event where the two criminals are hiding behind their car and both they and the police ask you for help.

Every time I've tried to 'help' the police by attacking a random criminal they were fighting they just started shooting at me, even if I had no weapons out (like if you run up an punch one of the criminals in the face, for example).

One of the things I love about GTA games is the continuity of some brand names in the GTA world. It's of those "It's the little things" aspects.

How many "brands" have carried across more than one game? I can think of Burger Shot, Ammu-Nation, 24/7, and Pay 'n' Spray going all the way back to Vice City, though the latter doesn't appear in GTA V.

It's a 10th anniversary remaster :) Same one that was on mobile devices, I believe, but this one has been updated for 360.

I can confirm that price, as I just bought it for that much. I had $5 in my Xbox account and it was fully covered. Downloading now. 2.05GB download.

I liked what went down with Haines. He was so consumed with making his TV show, part of his cocky nature, that he let his guard down. You could argue he never imagined T/M/F would come after him and it was his undoing.

As for blowing Haines up with a rocket launcher, it felt like the Trevor thing to do given Trevor's disdain for him.

Do the missions in this have checkpoints like the iOS version does? I really liked that about the mobile port.

edit: according to comments on Eurogamer, mid-mission checkpoints are in. Probably would have picked this up anyway, but that settles it.
