The best Trevor switch is when he's underneath a pier tying a random gagged guy to one of the support beams, yelling "THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER BE RUDE TO STRANGERS"

I got that one, but he said something about how this is very evocative of American capitalism instead.

Is there any stuff that you can miss out on? So far the only stuff I know of is therapy sessions with Michael. I'm trying to finish the story and then just go back and do whatever.

What we know about how stock works (Lester, etc.), what we know about how garages work, and what the song that plays when Michael is flying around is come up a lot.

Might also be nice to tell people to stop debating whether the helicopter controls suck or not.

This is the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K57dVZ4oHtQ It's one of my favorite missions. (i would avoid reading the youtube comments since they are spoilery.) I gotta say I'm taken aback by how good the writing is in this game since I really wasn't terribly impressed with the RDR or GTA4. They really stepped up on the character development front.

My son got it, was quite a relief as I always cringe when he switches to Trevor but being scooter brothers is very kid appropriate. He says a lot of funny stuff if you stay with your scooter brother.

He's quoting this, pretty much!

Just had an issue where I found a random armored car driving around, so I jacked it, but no briefcase came out the back when I blew open the doors. Is that supposed to happen, or was it a glitch? I died a couple minutes later, and when I respawned, I drove past a gas station where another armored car spawned and this time blowing open its doors actually worked...

Oh man, just switched back to Trevor and he was under the Velspucci Beach pier tying some gagged dude in a suit to one of the beams going "And that's why you don't talk meanly to strangers." 35 hours in and still finding tons of fun stuff.

I know what song it is, because it gets posted like every other page. The OP was asking for suggestions for what to put in the FAQ post.

You point out that Trevor's special ability increases damage dealt in the OP, but it's probably also worth mentioning that it greatly reduces damage taken. I find that part of it to be the main draw, really. Helps when moving to cover or running for a vehicle.

Apparently there's a glitch that lets you get any property for free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7VzYtGY96Y&hd=1

I haven't tried it myself but it looks pretty easy. Apparently the catch is you need to have enough money to purchase the property, so you would still need $150m to do this trick on the golf club.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I like the meta-joke about how you can make heaps of cash robbing banks and meticulously planning heists at great personal risk, but you can easily make even more cash by committing white collar fraud from the comfort of your couch.

I think certain characters are only available at certain times. If they're available it should say "Hang Out" under their name in Contacts. Like Jimmy is only available at night. Take him out drinking as Franklin for added hilarity.

I was in the middle of stealing the not-Challengers for the final heist when I saw one just parked outside some stores. I immediately stopped what I was doing, stole it, drove to an auto shop, and then parked it in one of the property garages.

One complaint I have, and it's not something that I'm even blaming Rockstar for, is that there's a gently caress-bomb about every thirty seceonds, even if your just driving your car around. My little girl likes to watch me drive around acting foolish and making jumps in GTA games (no shooting or missions or anything), and every time you drive within a foot of a ped or another car, someone's yelling "gently caress YOU YOU loving gently caress". I eventually had to go up into the sticks for my crazy driving, but luckily she thinks it's hilarious when I drive a truck down a mountain at top speed.

The ragdoll button is a huge hit with her, too. I kept climbing on higher and higher stuff and jumping off, and there's nothing like the laughter of a small child watching a hillbilly land head first in a parking lot after jumping off a bar roof. I capped it off by driving into the city and diving off the top of the skyscraper that's being built.

Bold Robot posted:

The following was posted in the old thread:


Can anyone confirm this? Will blowing up a bunch of cars actually swing AUG? From looking at the market, it looks like AUG has a fairly wide range, from about 80 up to about 110. Did this dude just get lucky with a low-high swing, or do we actually have evidence of non-Lester actions influencing the market?

I just stole 5 FlyUS jets and crashed them into the city bailing with a chute. The market hasn't moved at all on it or AirEmu. I sure would love to know how it actually works cause it doesn't seem to work like anyone expects unless you look at the social club one.

Far as I can tell you look at the news for possible movers under finances with a rating of uneasy and then gamble on if it will go up or down next game startup.

Franklin is great. CJ minus the pathos, though I always enjoyed playing as CJ just for his warped sense of honor. His self-righteousness always made the horrors he was committing that much funnier. Some construction worker said something rude to my sister? Time to murder twenty innocent men!

But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?


After trevor's mid game mission to capture the Merryweather plane. Is there anything to check out after it crashes? I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out a way to get the sub to the alamo sea. It seems like the easiest way would be to get a cargobob (which seem to be a rare spawn in the military base, or 2.2 mil to buy) and lift the sub you get from the dock property. What's the easiest way to get 2.2 mil without cheating, anyway?

Edit: I haven't hung out with anyone yet. I really should. The dialogue in this game is great.

Yeah my 3 year old always tells me to "play the race car game!" because he loves watching me drive around and crash cars/motorcycles (with the added bonus that every time I forget to wait long enough for the character to put on a helmet he says "STOP HE DOESN'T HAVE A HELMET"), but there's just sooooo much swearing no matter what character you choose. I guess you can always turn the dialogue volume down though.
