Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Yup. That's why it's bugging me that it won't load correctly. I even tried hiking up there but still, no love. Mine bugged out a couple of times as well. Once when I rode my helicopter up there and landed, and the second time when I parachuted. It only seems to load properly if you use the cable car. You should check a youtube guide so you can be sure you are in the correct place. Remember you can't see any mission prompts until you are actually near the dude.

Cerebulon posted:I think the game counts having to walk through the strip club to get some late game missions towards that condition. I took it as a riff on Michael being a past GTA character who "won but wants to keep playing" (how Rockstar describes him) in that GTA is famous for the whole picking up prostitutes angle. I think one of the lines was about how he kept picking them up in his car, too.

Done this first assasination with Franklin about 30 loving times now, it's absolute bullshit, he gets grazed by 2 bullets and goes down every loving time. gently caress ME, I've never been so frustrated at a game before. I did this a couple of times before but gave up, now I got to a point where I loving HAVE to do it. EDIT: GOD loving drat IT! It's so loving frustrating becuase normally I'd just give up and move onto another game, but I want to keep going. Rudager fucked around with this message at 10:48 on Sep 24, 2013 |

The one with the guy coming out of a hotel? I think you're meant to do it stealthy because it seems you go down even faster than normal. Throw a sticky bomb in front of the car (not on it, the guards will notice it). Take cover in the parking hall or even hop into your car and wait until they take off, blow up bomb. Done. The damage you take is my only gripe so far. Like last night a car jack went wrong : I had Franklin at full health and armor, but he kept screwing up his punches, kicking the car door instead of the guy and stumbling around because physics. It took the guy 3 or 4 punches to kill me.

This is the hotel assasination, right? I've heard people complain about this so was a bit apprehensive, but erm, it was a piece of piss? Walked up one level of the car park, stood by the parked car, waited for the dude to come out, sniped him, calmly drove off in the car I was stood next to. The security guys fired a few shots in my direction, but didn't really seem to know where I was (might be to do with my Franklin's sniper rifle? I can't say now if that one's silenced or not, it's whatever was given to him during the second heist). I did it twice too, cos I forgot to buy the shares the first time. Went down exactly the same way. Also worth noting for the FAQ that you have to do the first assasination to progress the story, you

So I decided to stroll on to the top of Mt. Chiliad, on foot because why not, and very very near the top I see two women hiking. So I decide that I want to see them fall down the mountain in glorious Euphoria manner and run at them, completely miss my punch and fall down the mountain myself. Crime doesn't pay

It's whenever he walks into a group of people talking during cutscenes, or his little quips in the mission dialogue etc etc. It's just interesting to see how a situation plays out whenever he makes himself a factor in it. I genuinely busted out laughing when he was going off about Martin Madrozo's wife and how he's crushing on her SO HARD. The way Michael reacted on the phone when T said she's hot was unexpectedly funny. "...the hell?!"

Heh, I basically erased over 10 hours because of that drat shirt icon bug on the minimap. I'm OCD about stuff like that; luckily I spent most of the time dicking around and only progressed up to Trevor's storyline so it didn't take too long to get back.

I think the epsilon line might be hosed for me. I turned in the 5 cars, saved the game, and got a map icon to progress towards the next step. Instead of heading directly for it I went to Michael's shrink. At the end of it he immediately hit me with his car and I ended up dying, so I reloaded the game and finished it properly. Unfortunately the epsilon icon is now gone. Since reloading I'm no longer getting the text thanking me for delivering the cars. Going back and jacking the cars again doesn't seem to give me any popup or destination. Been playing for hours since then and nothing has changed, even after dying/sleeping/switching characters plenty. Guess I can just never complete that now. Pretty loving annoying.

I love that the Epsilon stuff seems to be playing off the fact that there was minimal stuff about it in San Andreas and people latched onto the tiniest details and desperately tried to find "the answers". The thing about finding a truck with a dent on the right fender was a pretty big thing people were convinced existed somewhere.

Late game spoiler On the small town bank heist mission is your gunman always smashed into the wall by a cruiser or is it only if you choose the cheap dude? I almost went with Chef there and I would've felt bad if he was the one that got crushed and then blown up just so I could retrieve the money. And on the the last mission: When given the choice by Devin what happens if you choose to kill Michael or Trevor? I chose C but I'm assuming that neither actually dies since that could lock you out of ever getting 100% completion.

I'm closing in on 100% fast and it's becoming more and more obvious how flawed this game is. It could be perfect, it really could be but isn't. And how good it is makes the faults even more obvious. Aside from matters of personal preference like music and known bugs like the stock markets and garages, there are some things Rockstar just can't seem to move on from. Here are my major gripes with the game. Introducing new game mechanics that are used once and then never again. Quite a few missions do this, some are fun and some are not, but you can only do them while on the mission. It's an open world game, Rockstar. Let us do things we can do in missions whenever we want afterwards. Also popping up tiny boxes with a long explanation about how to do the thing you're meant to do in the next three seconds while piloting a plane/racing down the street in traffic. Some missions do that wonderful thing of "DO THIS THING NOW oh nevermind you failed." Heists were meant to be "the big thing" in this game, and while they're handled very well, there's like three or four of them. You can do each one twice, I suppose, but considering how heavily the marketing of the game focused on this aspect, I would've expected some kind of post-game system where you can hit other places with a crew to make money. Nope. Just the linear ones the story requires. Cutting useful/optional/fun things from previous games. Voiced GPS? Nope. Long blinking dots on the minimap to indicate from miles away how you're aligned to the nearest landing strip? Gone. There's a comedy club, a casino and a race track in LS, but they serve as nothing but decoration. DLC or multiplayer maybe, but still. Any reason why things like bowling and pool were axed? As long as it's optional, why cut them? They were already in GTAIV fully formed. Cops. loving cops. Why not use RDR's fantastic witness system? Along the same lines, no vigilante missions? Really? Also why are there no police cars or bikes anywhere out in the world? I know there are some parked alongside the highway and some pop up dynamically trying to stop another criminal (if you watch this event unfold, prepare to get a wanted level for literally no reason too!) but none just hanging out in traffic. Lack of reward for completing missions. Okay, story missions sometimes play out in a way that the character loses, fine. It's allowable for story purposes and drama and whatnot, but Strangers and Freaks? Nearly all of them follow the same pattern: Meet person, do job for them (that often outstays its welcome or is generally way too long), go back to them with both you and your character expecting a reward, then get nothing. The end. Controls. Not rocket science to figure out. Move left stick slightly to walk, push all the way to run. Get with the times, Rockstar. Also mapping actions to the face buttons that require you to control the camera at the same time. Sprint, mostly. Stick that to a shoulder button or something. Aiming and sprinting at the same time is impossible. And shooting while in a vehicle is as awkward as always. Why not use both shoulder buttons like with normal shooting? R1 uses the handbrake, but so does the X button. Yeah that makes sense. Collectibles. Again, the rewards are nonexistant or completely pointless and besides maybe letting you explore a few more areas there's no reason to collect them. If you're so determined to make finding collectibles such a drat slog, at least reward the player with something they wouldn't get otherwise. How about a fighter jet? New cheats? Speaking of which... Cheats. There are a couple that are decent fun for a bit, but still no pedestrian riots. No flying cars. You used to be good at this, Rockstar. Oh sweet, now I can get full armor and health with a 10 button press combo that locks out saving. Just give us god mode if you do that. On that note... Health and armor. Health regeneration is not the end of the world. In fact, it can work extremely well, especially in an open world game. Limited health regeneration is bad, why not go all the way? You still have to purchase armor for that extra boost, but now you have to get both health and armor, which are hardly ever close to each other and only restricts you from playing the game when you have to go out of your way to find them. Also why does non-bullet and explosive damage now take away your armor? It worked fine in GTAIV where your health only went down from physical damage and your armor only from bullets and explosives. And I'll join with other people posting in this thread in saying that the characters are way too weak. A shotgun blast to the face, okay, that'll kill you. I get that, but just glancing a slowly moving train is insta-death. Flying through the windshield of a car usually kills you. Fun things like that are actually detrimental to the experience now. I mentioned this before, but properties are pretty much useless. The helipad might be the only useful one. Pretty much all the others send you texts to do some menial task that is actually timed. Get there in X minutes or you lose, no matter if you're doing something else or are across the map in your underwear with no vehicle. The world is beautiful and quite varied, but I often get the feeling like it's too big. I find myself resorting to skipping taxi rides in order to get from one place to another if it's more than 5 miles. Underwater is pretty pointless too. There are a few points of interest but otherwise it's just copypasted scenery that doesn't reward exploration at all. Finally, mountain lions. Just because gently caress mountain lions. They make me miss RDR's cougars.

Played a few missions today, and finally got bit by the disappearing car bit. Bought a god damned 3000$ bike and it went poof after I saved it in the garage. I switched over to Franklin and promptly lost a 200k motorbike I had tricked out and chromed, so I kinda quit messing with cars for the moment. On a brighter note, loved the first Trevor heist (assuming it's a first, dunno), and checking Bleeter after doing random poo poo in the world is always hilarious. Lifeinvader is always good for a laugh post missions, but man some of the stuff I read on there makes me want to hunt down people and put a bullet in their head. Maybe it'll be an option in GTAO. I was genuinely surprised when I switched characters at random and got Michael driving a car. Normally all I've seen is them on foot doing something. This was the first time I was actually in a moving vehicle. Kinda cool. Still haven't gotten the Mt Chilad thing unbugged, but I did notice 2 things. 1: There is no way to adjust difficulty. 2: There is a sub screen under the pause button called "Briefing" or something, where it lists out all the poo poo that is said in the game by the characters. Mission prompts, etc. Damned good game.

Upgrading anything but the character's default car seems like a huge waste of time and money. Michael's family's cars aren't a bad idea either. Shame Franklin's bike is such an ugly piece of poo poo. I usually ride motorcycles as often as I can in these games, but it's not gonna happen if I have to deal with the arcane arts they call the GTAV garage system. Hell, even when I do put motorcycles into the garage I bought, they seem to lose their radios for whatever reason.

I'm trying to collect the sub parts and am on maybe the 6th one. It seems to be inside the nose section of a cargo plane and I can see it at the top of a ladder, but I can't swim up into the space at all, since the hole at the top of the ladder doesn't seem to actually be a hole. How am I supposed to reach the part?

The one who dies and loses their share is the same as the first one: the one gunman you're offered who's absolutely awful and would want to train (which makes the system dumb and pointless but whatever). I opted for Chef the two times I did it, though, because I didn't get to see Packie until the post-game.
