OK, sorry, I didn't catch that. I thought maybe he was going through a second midlife crisis. I also honestly suspected that maybe my 4 year old had done that with the iFruit app on my iPad.

Okay, I've lost track of what is and what is not a mid-life crisis for Michael so I'm not going to ask you to specify because gently caress anything to make him more interesting mid-game. I don't mind that he is a little bit sad and down on himself, but for fucks sake man I did not blow a couple thousand dollars way too early in the game to not have you wear a loving jean jacket and jeans like my loving Dad*.

Trevor dresses the part, Franklin would probably wear something nice if I remembered to buy for him, you need to pull your weight Michael!

Also I've heard of some weapons in the game that I did not know were possible to have or find, and having a list in the OP would be helpful. I found myself the baseball bat before deciding to take my new prize and ride off in a sick new chopper that I borrowed from some nice members of The Lost who promptly shot the loving realism of one-percenter biker gangs into me.


*My Dad actually plays GTA V and assuming his eyes get a bit better I hope he realizes the similarities between him and Michael while playing the game. Hes not a criminal and I'm not a sack of poo poo, but fashion wise hes the type of guy who dresses up for work and takes off everything the second he gets home, gets into comfortable clothes, and plays his PS3. Its the a reverse butterfly.

God DAMMIT I missed my opportunity to take out Michael's therapist. I tried carjacking but they were too quick. Should've just whipped out the RPG or sticky bomb.

I whipped out my sniper rifle, went into special mode and headshotted him when he was pulling away.

Its a pain in the rear end that vehicles you land at the hangers / helipad don't get added to the selection list. Switching to my tank deleted my jet fighter, and I've been shot down at least half a dozen times trying to get a new one.

Yeah this is really annoying. It's the most obvious feature, make vehicles that you bring to the garage/hangar/helipad get stored in a list so you can grab them whenever you want. I don't understand why they didn't do this!

Although I'm sad it's not Michael Keaton.

From that pic of all three of them it looks like their faces were put on the chars bodies pretty much exactly as they are. Michael and Franklin are fatter in real life.

Can we have someone post in here whenever the Pißwasser (PIS) stock recovers on the BAWSDAQ. It will probably be the best way for the people that missed the HAL stock rise to get enough money for the 200$ million spend trophy.

It got down to $2.26, but the current price says $2.37 so I guess there's a slight upwards trend.

I've got all my money in it so I'm hoping that it'll rise a metric fuckload.

Well, I just 100% the game, and all I got was this rather snazzy T-shirt. Franklin only, though I did 100% the game with a stunt jump playing as Franklin. Now to see what else happens, gonna go poke around Mt. Chiliad a bit.

If you look at just the faces of the voice actors, it is pretty much them 100%. Franklin's VA was on some lovely mini interview on TMZ and he pretty much said that it was just straight up 100% him in video game form.

Yeah, I only ever remember to do it for the shoot & drive sections with Franklin (and even then, only about half the time). For everyone else, I get so caught up in the cover shooting that I forget that special abilities are even an option.

Franklins special is so useful for races, you never need to let up on the gas, just click the special on briefly for taking sharp turns or if you start to fishtail/slide your car.

Well, ATVing through the backroads around Chiliad I was usurped by four rednecks who thought Franklin was an illegal immigrant and after a brief chit chat they just unloaded everything into him and killed me in about a second. Fun. Full health and armor too.

I tried this and it ended up being a one hitter quitter which, while hilarious, considered him to be dead which I didn't want.

All but one of my bail bond guys died this way which is a pain because it's one of the few ways for Trevor to catch up money-wise after the first heist.

Totally my fault because I kept punching the guys after the first one died, but still.

I've only done the first bail bond mission, which went like this:

- drive to quarry
- steal a dump truck
- drive around in dump truck until you see the bail bond guy
- drive off a cliff and try to land on the guy and miss
- ram his car with the dump truck and roll it on its side so he gets out
- shoot him in the knee, which kills him :downs:

I then proceeded to go on a rampage with the dump truck, but managed to blow myself up while ramming random cars.

Nov 16, 2010

So playing through GTAIV and LC Eps on PC as a way of coping with it not coming out anytime soon totally backfired and I couldn't stop myself from buying this. I was wondering if there's anything major I'm not getting because I don't have Xbox Gold? Besides GTA Online. Like half the menus tell me to gently caress off when I scroll through it. Can I still get the Social Club or iFruit stuff? The game never asked me to log in to anything.

Also I can't believe how happy this game is. Liberty City was basically hell. Even as a parody it was dense and suffocating. But everything in this game just seems so loving jubilant.

And also the jaggies make my eyes bleed, but whatever.

Highway on the east side of the map there's what's supposed to be a hydro generating base station (it has 4 pipes coming down the hill into it). The roof there has boxes you can hide between for cover from helicopters and ground police, and they can't drop onto the roof because it's too crowded.

It's a little difficult to engage the guys on the ground, but it's a good opportunity to shoot down a lot of helicopters.
