ElwoodCuse posted:What does your in-game checklist say? The social club website not matching up with your game sometimes has been a thing for basically every Rockstar game that uses it. Same thing, it's not the Rockstar Social site being slow to update. On the phone checklist it says 2/16 Miscellaneous completed, but the social website shows which 12 I've actually completed. And that piechart on the website also only shows 2 having been completed. The S&F missions I've done they show up as available for replay, but their percentage also doesn't get updated on the phone either. I've tried continuing with these events, which get completed and show having been done on the website, but the pie-hart and in-game phone percentage never update. (I've asked R*, just waiting for a reply from them)

Why does everyone assume they were trying to make some point and failed? Rockstar loves violence. Manhunt was a murder simulator and the torture scene was basically a throwback to that. It was brutal, dark, and fun. If you don't like it that's alright but you're deceiving yourself if you think they were doing anything more than building Trevor's personality and giving you something hosed up to do.

Unless 10 Strangers & Freaks missions I've also done are specifically ones that don't count even if they're repayable and give you medals. Same with Misc activities, and Hobbies and Past Times.

Yeah, they don't all count either. There's 58 of those and only a specific 20 count towards 100%. The only thing where all of them count (other than the main plot missions) is random events, and even then they stop counting after the first 14. e; You can tell which ones do and which ones don't on the social club checklist page by looking for the coloured bar on the lefthand side of each image. For example, Michael and Trevor's exercise missions don't count towards 100% but Franklin's does because, uh, why not.

I'll try doing some of the colored bar ones and seeing if it starts updating. (Man that's crazy that the 10 other S&F ones I picked at random were ones that didn't count, especially when the last 5 were ones I did just to see if I could get the thing to update). Edit: I think I figured out why only certain missions count too. Looks like the only ones that count are Franklin missions. Guess they didn't want to screw people out of 100% completion depending on which ending they picked. Guess it wasn't so crazy after all.

There's some stuff after the credits too with him that makes it pretty clear.

It's not that he's comfortable having sex with men and women, purely that he'll have sex with anything, and it implies that he's not above raping Floyd. I'm pretty sure there are lines of his where he straight up claims that he's not gay too.

Cow kicking trip report: Kicking cows seems like a significantly better way to raise strength than golf. Debatable whether it's better than tennis. Cows are very afraid of the vicious boot-based beatings you lay upon their cow comrades, so you spend plenty of time chasing them around which makes it a half decent way to increase stamina. Tasering fleeing cows is helpful, but it does a fair bit of damage, reducing your kicks per cow ratio. Continuing to kick dead cows has no effect aside from greatly reducing the morale of nearby, temporarily living cows. Other than one passerby's proclamation of "gently caress dat poo poo", nobody cared and no cops were called. Vargs fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Sep 26, 2013 |

That's not what I was trying to get across at all, but it's clear I must have misread/glossed over some dialogue. I thought, aside from being insane/violent, he was expressing a genuine interest in men in some scenarios, but if I'm the only one reading that it's probably not there. I did power through the last few hours of the game so a bit of it is a blur.

Lets see if I can get a definitive answer on the new thread. If I store a vehicle in a garage, an actual garage, and I take it out on a mission, abandon it or it blows up or whatever will it respawn in the garage or will it be gone forever? edit: I just parked a car as Franklin and got out just and for some reason I got a wanted rating and a cop instantly killed me.

Just finished the game earlier today, I really enjoyed the story, and especially enjoyed the characters, but man, the Housers and co. really not that good at writing these long-form, sprawling crime epics. They seriously need a better editor standing over their collective shoulders.

The game could really lose those two and be barely any worse off for it. I liked Stretch, and thought the Triad were a nice show of escalation, but it's really clear that they had no idea how to handle those plot points and threads over the entire course of the game. Enemies and characters are just dropped and picked up at will and it's really incoherent. It kind of feels like a Shane Black film, but without the experience and craftsmanship that makes those movies work so flawlessly. Good, but really, really uneven.

The game could really lose those two and be barely any worse off for it. Final mission spoilers/late game spoilers I thought this really cheapened the end of the game. Out of nowhere it's like "oh super rich guy is sending an army to kill my family because I ruined his insurance fraud? What? And then for some reason he is the final guy you kill and send off in to the sunset? I was super pumped to get to kill Haines,the FIB guy, but it was really anticlimactic how you just sorta shoot him then move on to killing the other pointless characters you mentioned. Overall the game really struggled at finding a solid antagonist, which is a shame, because they had an amazing one started with the whole FIB thing, but they dragged it out way too loving long in the middle of the game. The characters were really easy to dislike and the whole Brad/Trevor thing was interesting. They could have done some cool stuff with Dave using the truth about Brad to manipulate Michael to get the crew to work for him, but they wrote it in such a way that there was no mystery to it, the whole crew knew about the FBI connect and they all just begrudgingly go along with it. causticBeet fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Sep 26, 2013 |

Dan Didio posted:Hahahahah. I get the feeling that the story suffered greatly from "drat, we gotta go through so many cool shits we managed to drop onto this world, gently caress logical progression of plot!". There were so many instances for me where the segway into the next story progressing mission just felt so jury rigged, only to be relieved somewhat by the set-pieces they put forth. Missions like the whole series of FIB missions, carjacking for Devin, the whole botched merryweather's weapon jacking with a sub, missions with Madrozo popping in and out and ending just as abruptly, etc etc. Hell, the whole reason why the Michael gets back into the game and gets dragged through poo poo is because he wanted to get back at his wife's tennis coach for fuckin his wife, and that's pretty much THE catalyst of the game's entire plot. At that point it was kinda hard not to look back at the previous GTA games and say to myself "plot isn't why I'm playing this game for, is it?" I haven't finished the game yet, but I'm still not keeping my hopes up with the remainder of the game's plot. It still manages to be fun as hell though, mainly through the characters and the action set pieces. gently caress this "suck it up and take it in the rear end by the mission giver" bullshit though.

Man (Floyd), Woman (Ashley), or Object (Mr. Raspberry Jam/Meth) he only wants to make himself feel good. Nothing else really matters.

But I think that when you switch your previous character's skills degrade over time. But the problem is that I've noticed some skills degrading and others not. I had special going down on Franklin, but somehow flying remains at its maxed out state. Michael driving skill stays constant whereas shooting goes down at times. Maybe it takes a longer amount of time? But sometimes it seems like it doesn't. It's very strange.
