I managed to get the fighter jet into the hangar and have it saved there as Michael. If I fly it out of there and get it blown up, will it respawn back in the hangar, or will I have to go boost another one from the military base?

I took one to Trevor's hangar and it still spawns there after crashing it 3-4 times. Who the gently caress knows what happens if I and it somewhere and leave it behind, though.

Hit X when you're in a vehicle until your weapon is "unarmed", then instead of shooting people you'll flip the bird.

Trevor's special ability is ridiculous. We all know it works for surviving giant jumps if only thanks to the Mythbusters-esque video posted in the old thread. I just tried it on an oncoming train and took minimal damage... none of which came from the train itself, but from the bouncing after it knocked me out of the way. What other ludicrous things does it make you basically immune to?

iFruit is worth it for the custom license plates. Though choose carefully- you only get one for all three characters and you can't change it afterwards. I hate the one I chose while stoned as hell, I wish I could reset it. The dog game seems to be a waste of time, though you can change his collar.

Do you think they'll add more music/radio stations as DLC later on?

Rebel Radio but only if Convoy is playing.

Seriously, Space 103.2 is probably the best radio station, although I am getting a touch tired of Haboglabotribin'. Blue Ark is pretty good too. I'm severely disappointed with WCTR. It seems like every time I turn it on, Lazlow is freaking out about not being a star anymore. Shame, Rockstar. I used to solely listen to Chatterbox in GTA3, and this one feels so short and lifeless!

What's the best way to play the market, during the Assassination missions? Should you buy stock during the mission only, or also after? How do I abuse this? Quick critique noone cares about : I'm 40% into the game according to the save slots. For now I still like it, but I don't find it better than GTA IV. I feel that playing 3 characters kind of "dilutes" the storytelling. I find that I don't get attached to the characters as much as I did to Niko in GTA IV. I'm not a big fan of Trevor, either. There's always been psychos in GTA, but making one playable is not that enjoyable. That scene where you switch back to Trevor and the guy you're squatting the flat's is weeping made me very not at ease (more than the torture sequence, I think I'm hosed up), for example. I kind of like Trevor in the 'main' missions ("A thing? What thing? I'm the king of things!" cracked me up), but as soon as you need to go on a redneck rampage or things like that, I'm not a fan. It's like they tried too hard to push the "shock value" of the game. Loving the heists so far, there should be more of them! The one where you steal the money from the not-CIA was a big 'Heat' homage (even down to the music), that was great.

I tried to post this in the other thread right as it was getting locked or something like that... Not really going for an uppity cred move here, but the radio stations in V are so AMAZING that it's almost unbelievable - but I totally understand why the average non-music nerd gamer person isn't blown away by them. They went loving DEEP, man, to a completely mindblowing level. Let me put on your Dad's cardigan for a second and try to come up with some gamer comparisons for just how esoteric and awesome they got with the music while still packing the stations with appropriately killer cali jams...it would be like if you could unlock not only Cloud Strife's buster sword in the game, but also you could unlock the Epoch from Chrono Trigger as a drivable vehicle and oh yeah, costumes from King's Quest and Under a Killing Moon and oh yeah, there's also a Number Munchers easter egg, and Oregon Trail-themed mission complete with dysentery deaths, and by the way there's also an entire garage full of costumes from the Soul Calibur series and all the cars from Outrun but also all the bikes from Road Rash but still all of the weapons from Double Dragon and Xenophobe and you can basically do a full version of Dwarf Fortress on your phone. Like, it's just completely insane how awesome and deep they went with the music. Kleeer's "tonight" has always been one of my secret weapons when DJ'ing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVXURwACwtk - and NOBODY has heard of Kleeer. All of Bootsy's station totally kills it - Haboglabotribin!!!!! - even though he's a household name, he went DEEEEEEP with that playlist, ridiculous. Channel X is classic LA punk - all stock standard, but all awesome. I would have picked any other Fear song, but if you had told me five years ago that I'd buy a quadruple-A game with the goddamn Germs on the soundtrack, I would have never believed it. If anyone fronts on Rebel Radio, it's because they don't really understand what's on that station. Charlie Feathers...in a video game!? This is the perfect example of a station that could have been way more one-note, overt, and obvious, like how the country station in "San Andreas" was, full of obvious country signifiers, and instead they went deep. Bust-rear end Ozark Mountain Daredevils on a game soundtrack? I think I'd be less surprised if this thing had Bobby Bare, Mel Tillis, and Lee Hazelwood. Unreal. West Coast Classics is pretty well-stocked, though it would have been rad to get something like '93 til Infinity or a Pharcyde/Freestyle Fellowship/etc. west coast jam in there. Kurupt and DJ Quik are wonderful additions that no white suburban kid playing this game is going to know to associate with classic LA rap, hence the 48 Snoop Dogg songs that got included, but it's so loving tight that they're on there alongside Too $hort and other people that absolutely belong there but frankly, I wouldn't have expected Rockstar to include because they're not overt, obvious signifiers to the game's target demographic. the Flying Lotus station is frustrating for including so much of his own music (I guess if your'e Alice Coltrane's nephew, you have a blank check to do what you want in life but his music has never done much for me), but DUDE he included "Windowlicker," Dabrye (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! most underrated dude on this planet for the past 10+ years), that HudMo track... Ty Segall and the Oh Sees are two more examples of artists I would have done a milk spit-take if you told me they'd be in a game in a few years. There's not a bad song on that pop station other than the Fergie jam. It doesn't make you less macho if you listen to this stuff, dudes. Expand your mind, put down your funk-metal ceedees or whatever, and you've got most of the best songs in the game right there. Wham's cali-coke classic "Everything she wants!" "Music sounds better with you," the totally perfect song by Alan Braxe (the best french house guy you've never listened to) and Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk)! The immortal "west end girls." I really feel like they totally should have had Duran Duran's "notorious" in here, but maybe nobody thought of it or there was no dough (was that maybe in "vice city" anyway?). Then there's all the other stations! Yacht in a video game!? Marlena Shaw's "sampled a million times" jam "California Soul," could anything be more perfect? That INSANELY perfect cali dad rock station that didn't resort to blatant "yacht rock" signifiers but instead went for some seriously perfect jams! I could go on all night about this, wall of text notwithstanding. TLDR: they somehow went deep and hard for the serious music nerds out there in this one, to a level that actually surprises me, considering they could have just gone way more obvious/overt with the music. I think it's the best GTA soundtrack ever.

Seriously I loving love the licensed soundtrack so much. There's SO much going on with the careful selection of tracks meant to opine certain moods/themes, in addition to an all-star DJ cast that R* was able to line up. BUT SERIOUSLY WHY IS NOBODY IN LOVE WITH SOULWAX LIKE I AM  If you don't know of (the online) Radio Soulwax (or the quite French 2ManyDJs), click this link. It might make you like the in-game station more.  http://www.2manydjs.com/?page=radiosoulwax Rockstar can be such insufferable hipsters with their art and their music and their pop culture and their narrative-oriented relative misogyny. I made this case in the last thread but I don't know of anyone knows of it. The music-inclined goons especially should have a look if they've never seen it before.
