Are there any biker bars around? I got a really cool idea that involves motorcycles and a jerry can.

Ending talk The choice seems a little silly. No one is ever going to pick A or B. It would have been cool if it only presented you with A and B and you were left to figure out the third way yourself.

Alright, I give up. What's the best way to get a submarine into the Alamo sea? When I pick up the nuclear waste one from the dock, the cargo bobs type is so sorry and the helicopters are so hosed that it swings around uncontrollably, and either drags my helicopter into the sea/dock/ground (I made it out over land on *one attempt* out of like six) or whips the sub up into the side of the chopper and everything explodes. The Alamo Sea looks deep as gently caress, and I am not for scuba (although I wouldn't even know how to get the bloody scuba gear there in the first place either, Frank just throws it on the ground if you start walking. He dropped it on a sand bar in the middle of a bay once).

Dewgy posted:Why exactly is Trevor's speech after the torture scene catching people's attention like that? Trevor doesn't say torture is bad, just that it's ineffective. He's annoyed that he just tortured someone pointlessly, not that he tortured someone. He's pissed that he wasn't doing it for his own reasons, and that torturing someone for any other reason than you want to torture them yourself is missing the point. Also notice how he treats the guy afterwards. There is absolutely no chance there's actually anyone waiting at the airport. None. Thats not what I meant. It's the gameplay presented in hindsight to the speech I have an issue with. Trevor doesn't like to torture because people tell him to? Me neither. It's that they put that speech in after they make you torture someone that's loving infuriating to me. The torture itself is a moot point. It's the mini game that's pointless as gently caress. It's like they went "doo be doo torture is okay but Trevor don't like doing it when his hand is forced but we're going to make it a mini game so your hand is forced too hurr." What are we supposed to commiserate with a fictional character on his views of torture?

Is there any way of actually having an impact on the LCS market? I'm reading that it does, that it doesn't. I tried blowing up a few burger joints and didn't notice any impact but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I ended up heading directly west of the army base over the ocean and encountered a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress a couple miles off shore. My engines mysteriously cut out as I was getting close to it so I had to ditch in the sea, whereupon I was eaten by a shark. Supposedly, people have had their airplanes/helicopters suddenly cut off when encountering UFO'S.

Saw a very cool piece of unplanned gameplay that fit so perfectly. I was flying to a mission as Trevor in a helicopter and I was going to calmly land at the meeting spot. Then Trevor decides gently caress that, jumps out of the helicopter about 20 feet above the ground with a parachute attached to his back and pancakes on the ground. The camera follows me down and the characters waiting to meet me just take this all in and could give two shits as if to say "Classic Trevs."

So I've been trying unsuccessfully to get this game installed on my 360 for about 4 hours now. I've tried starting with the install disk and with the play disk, which then prompts me to put in the install disk. When all of the content is done installing my xbox goes to a black screen and I eventually have to reboot. If I try to start the game it just goes to a black screen. I've gone through this process like 4 or 5 times so far. Any idea what is going on? I've got 28gb free space so I know that's not the issue. Maybe it's the fact that I'm installing on usb? Everyone I see having problems is trying to install the Play disk. I'm just trying to get the install disk loaded. Any help?

How does replaying the missions work as far as getting the different objectives for a gold medal? Do you need to get them all at once for it to count or does it work like it did in TBoGT, where you could work on one at a time?

Torture talk: Trevor enjoyed it and then pointed out that's the only real reason to do it. But I'm not so sure whether the player was supposed to enjoy it, or find it very uncomfortable and unpleasant (which I did) given how obvious the game makes it that the guy is innocent and would talk anyway. On the one hand I feel it was intentionally disturbing and getting across what horrible psychopaths both Trevor and Haines are. But on the other hand, the game still seems to expect you to sympathise with Trevor despite that, and despite his actions there, and with Johnny and Floyd.

There's lots of really good dialog but also lots of really terrible dialog. The painfully awkward conversations like the hipster one or Trevor's speech about torture seem like they were written at gunpoint. I didn't read too much into it.

Does the install disc actually go through the install process when you run it? There should be a counter showing the total install size of 7400-ish MB and how far along the installation is. If it does, it should then ask you to eject and put in the play disc, which should then take you into the game. Just as a sanity check, you're supposed to run the install disc like a normal non-installed game disc. Installing it using the Xbox interface (pressing Y on the disc's icon in the dashboard) doesn't work.

Well no, you're not. But they could have made that viewpoint more effective and poignant by making the scene a cutscene and not an interactive minigame. That's my point I guess. I get Trevor's humor, just not Rockstars excuse for using that moment to...honestly I have no idea what they were trying to achieve or explain because I would have understood the humor if Trevor had just gone. "Whee torture I love torture don't you? I love when other people make me do torture." That would have been too tongue in cheek I guess. And then it would have made sense. So  I guess.

VagueRant posted:Torture talk: Trevor enjoyed it and then pointed out that's the only real reason to do it. Everything Trevor does is so disturbing that I'm surprised this is the only thing that's called out, he bullies the poo poo out of Wade for no reason and is incredibly unsympathetic in every single way except in interactions with Michael's family. The fact that they included anything that makes him seem sympathetic at all seems really out of character for the guy, he's a piece of poo poo. I felt what can best be described as momentary bouts of sadness for the torture victim in game because he was obviously innocent but you have to remember that the NPC is fake and you didn't actually do anything bad to anyone. The scene doesn't seem to be commentary on anything, because the speech is shoehorned in. If you ask me it was included to generate controversy and nothing else, with the speech about torture not working written in at the last minute as a way of covering their rear end if it blew up in the media.

Endgame: I just did all three. A and B are total nonstarters. There's no incentive to kill Michael. You don't get anything for it and it just removes a character from the game. You kind of get an incentive to kill Trevor because you then get 30 million on Frank and Mike. But you also lose Trevor which removes the best character in the game for rampaging. C is the only option as far as I'm concerned.

I don't really see how its a deathwish either when Franklin's buddies are two guys who have like a couple decades worth of combat experience fighting off entire armies (some of them as recently as within the last 2 weeks) and have actual superpowers to slow down time and absorb bullets like a sponge.

I wish I had read some stock market tips early in the game. I'm debating either rushing through the game again to get those big assassination mission money bumps, or just paying closer attention to BAWSAQ to make money the legit way with my end-game cash. I almost want to start a Google Docs spreadsheet to keep track of the hourly stock prices on BAWSAQ.

Trevor tells you to go do it but it's not necessary, it greatly increases your flight skill though and makes flying helicopters much easier, but if you can increase your flight skill just by flying around then do that.
