I love the idea of money being actually valuable and was excited, but I think that they went way overboard.

Through most of the story you always feel like you're trying to scrape together money (which fits in nicely with the characters and story), but between that final heist and a little bit of stock market silliness, you can pretty easily end up with so much money that you'll never really have to think about it again, unless you (for some strange reason) really want to own the deed to that golf course.

Not sure if this is a bug or what but it was interesting. Running from the cops, ran my car off a ramp into some deep water. Car settled perfectly on the floor. Noticed I didn't have an oxygen gauge. I thought since the windows were rolled up I had an "oxygen pocket" and was seriously impressed. Waiting for my 3 stars to go away in my little air bubble my health starts dropping.... I drown in my el camnio.

Second thing I feel the urge to share. During the mission where Trevor and Michael first meet while chasing Lazlow if you switch to cinematic cam, you hear Lazlow freaking out and talking to himself.... I thought it was a nice little touch and makes me really like all the little things R* did with the game


E: I am loving retarded.

Hit right on the d-pad in the hangar. It does have multiple "slots" for bought aircraft. I think you can only store one stolen one at a time and switching plans might erase that one, though.

Where did you find them?

So far I've seen two respawn spots. One is behind the gun shop in Chumash, southwest corner. Another is beneath the road in North Chumash, by the property Michael can buy. I forget the name of it, but the Lost bikers spawn there. Go a little bit south and you'll be on an overpass. Go under it, get molotov. So strange you can't buy these in Ammunation.

Also unlike in 3, each pickup gives you five bottles. And they respawn fairly quickly!

I can't believe that The Alan Parsons Project "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" is a track on the rock station.

That is just so loving cool, it's such a loving great jam, and mentally fun to drive to in real life and GTA. I would have never, ever figured to find it in a video game, since it is hardly a well known song. Well done Rockstar. Your music selection is fantastic by my standards, even if it is just for this one track.

Now, some Zappa on the classic rock station in GTA VI is next on the list.

It's a mission where Trevor tortures an innocent guy in very close detail while casually making cracks about the ineffectiveness of torture. QTE's are involved.

I like him as a neutral mediator that gets along well enough with both sides in the Michael/Trevor power struggle.

I really cannot believe people who would buy a Grand Theft Auto game could be such enormous babies. But fear not, you don't need to shelve this game that you spent $60 and invested a ton of time into just because of a waterboarding cutscene. Apparently you can go ahead and shoot any random person as Michael and it ends.

Try and use the rudders to control the wobble (shoulder buttons), not the stick. Don't try and micro-correct every single wobble, just bring it back around when you get more than 20-30 degrees off course. And always keep a soft touch - it's difficult at first but it's not too hard to get a handle on with a bit of practice.

I just pretend I'm driving a flying boat, if you wait for half a second or so before pushing the controls in a new direction it's easier to fly since you don't get mixed up between the turbulence wobbles and your own control inputs.

I bought the hangar with Trevor because 7k/flight is awesome, and I love the flight missions. But I'm a clueless loving noob anyways.
The hangar is a pretty good one but for the most part the return on the properties is nil. Some of them are fun, and that's reason enough to buy them for sure, but I just wish that it was actually a viable way to make money. It's just that much better when there's a real reward.

I never really felt like I was trying to scrape together money after the first heist, there was only one point when I was a little short on the tow truck company. I was able to coast by with car and gun mods and I deliberately was avoiding playing Lester's tips. In RDR, there were several times early on when I wanted some more tobacco and even later on when I wanted an expensive gun where I'd have to go out and find a way to make cash on the side. Maybe I'm just really weird but I totally dug this, it encouraged me to do the side stuff and play in the open world. I never really felt that necessity and even if I did I would've had no way to go out and make it, which fits with the story I guess, but I would've loved if there was actually a way to scrape up some money.

I managed to jack one with Franklin and through some quick save and character switching sorcery I managed to get it in Trevor's hands so he could store it in his hanger. It took about an hour, which probably would've been better spent trying to jack a new one with Trevor.

In my second to last attempt, Franklin was in the plane in the hanger when I rolled up with Trevor. Franklin then says "hey man I got stuff to do" and then guns it into the hanger wall killing us both. :v:

Has anybody else ended up with negative money? Franklin has -26$.. This is right after the final heist too. I check my account transactions and it shows Lester deposited the proper amount, but I've still got -26$ in my account and can't buy a thing.

You don't get your money from the final heist until the post-game, so I wouldn't worry about that just yet.

Yup, Franklin did not get any of the final heist money because... well I'm not sure... he's now earning money properly, but when I first switched back to him post credits, he had -26$. So be warned folks, you can lose out on earning money somehow.

Unfortunately, this is post credits and every other character has earned their share. Only Franklin missed out. I have no idea how this occurred, but definitely a frustrating bug. He's absolutely useless to me because I couldn't be bother to even attempt to earn any money for him and basically start fresh.

I know we're all against torture and execution but I found that the "forced ragdoll" button is the best thing in the game.

If you jump and press Circle (I think it's B on Xbox?) you go into a ragdoll immediately. You can even bring back your favorite old execution devices like a makeshift guillotine!

I can never get the Big Three together, one of them is always busy, so Lamar is my backup homeboy.

I still need to get him and Franklin together for a movie. I was close to one once and Lamar was talking about how he wanted to go see a show and make white people uncomfortable by shouting at the screen. But there were no movies playing and the game just ate my $40 :(
