The show "Beyond Insemination" on Blaine County Radio is amazing. I love Danny McBride.

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.

I finished the last few parachute challenges with Trevor and then when I went to switch people, Franklin had a 1 on his picture.

I wish people would stop posting every goddamn character transition they stumble upon. You know that feeling you got when it came as a total surprise to you? You're taking that away from others.

I think I've had every one of them spoiled for me by now and I'm carefully avoiding all black bars.

Is it just me or do the gun running missions at the airstrip get annoyingly difficult once you get the achievement? I was in the area and wanted to make a quick buck so I did the ground one and it puts the airdrop on the opposite side of the Alamo Sea where I have absolutely zero chance of catching the rival gang. I can't even get close enough to kill them until they're about 20 seconds from making the drop, then I get chased back by a helicopter that was able to kill me from full health in less time than it took me to take down the chopper with a minigun.

I am an idiot who lands a helicopter and then runs into the tail rotor and dies.

I know it's reasonable that the characters change clothes while you aren't playing as them, but it sure does make one of Michael's Epsilon missions a real pain in the rear end.

Yeah I'm getting annoyed with constantly correcting their clothes. Everyone must ALWAYS wear a suit in my game. ALWAYS.

I don't even mind that they change, but there is a mission where Michael has to wear some Epsilon robes for 10 cumulative days and it's hard to do that if he changes into his lovely pool clothes every time I switch.

The final street race is kinda bullshit. I keep losing because there are hills that you have to jump to keep pace but you can't see over them so I always jump into crossing traffic and die because I have to be on a motorcycle. And then I don't get to retry until the next night because if you get wasted you have to go to the hospital. ugh.

Could you try angling the camera differently or using a wider zoom? When I'm bombing up or down hills I tilt the camera up a bit so the car doesn't block my LOS. I'd imagine zooming your view all the way out would make it even better. If you still look like you're about to hit something then pop Franklin's ability and use the extra maneuvering and damage resistance.

I ended up just taking it a bit slower and only using Franklin's special in emergencies and tight gaps rather than using it to take corners at full speed. Thanks, though.

So I'm doing the part where Michael has to wear the Epsilon robes for 10 days and I'm about 95% sure that I've done it but I haven't gotten a notification or a new mission. I got the 9 day notification a couple of real life days ago so I don't know what the gently caress.

The musics more bland and repetitive then it has been in any GTA before.
I disliked 4 and thought it had a better reggae station, the little 3 second quips the djs have aren't enough to change the fact that they hired a bunch of music nerds as interns to handle every station or something.

We have a soulwax station (nothing against em, love some of their remixes. im ok with this station)
and a station that has an extremely random mix of bland pop music of the past 30 years. (not ok with this)
The talk stations last for about 20 minutes and one is only accessible on half the map.

The ambient music deserved a station more then some of the radio stations did.
I'm only so adamant about it because I've tried more and more stations only to find myself more and more surprised at how they either spent no money here or really only cared to cater towards music nerds(being a music nerd isn't an insult and even a music nerd knows not everyone enjoys their music)

Also add me to team, the wanted system sucks and team cars survive longer then MC's do

West Coast Classics is amazing though.

I guess they did that so people wouldn't just replay Trevor's rampage missions over and over again, blowing up cars for hours to get an insane amount of income.

I've been doing this poo poo the hard way, parking buses in high traffic areas and losing the cops after I blow up a bunch of cars, and a week of that is only enough to cover 1 hospital visit. loving bullshit.

So if I'm on "Launching session" but it's showing my character standing next to a bunch of other characters who sometimes appear or disappear and it has the heading (Settings, Players, Details), is there a chance I'll actually get to do the race or am I still hosed?
