So what's the trick to losing the wanted level for the last heist? I've tried eight or nine times now, and no matter where I hide, or how long I'm hidden for, eventually someone knows exactly where I am and I get spotted and have to start all over again. Whether it's a chopper spawning right on top of my location, or a random cop on foot running off the highway right where we are, I always get spotted. Should I try ditching the car and climbing a roof or something? Or will a cop just climb the ladder knowing right where we went?

Apparently the big coordinated sell-off time is going to be 6pm EST, and it takes 2 hours for the BAWSAQ prices to update. So come 8pm we will find out just how much the stock price is affected by player actions.

Drive way out into the desert towards Sandy Shores.

The wind turbines are great for taking out helicopters on you, but by the time you get there you'll have probably dodged the wanted level anyway.

Yeah, whenever helicopters are an issue, my solution is to find places where helicopters will have issues with me. Driving into the heart of downtown and weaving through skyscrapers tends to shake them pretty well.

Decided to jerry can a gas stand as my means of instigating a police chase this time around. Light it, get in my car ready to drive off and the first thing that plays on the radio is Fire Doesn't Burn Itself. If I didn't know better, I'd swear that was scripted to happen. This loving game.

I wound up driving near the racetrack building off the racetrack parking lot. I'd driven fast enough to shake the chopper and the cars just roamed the parking lot and the highway never noticing me next to the building.

... those are some long-rear end credits. 27 minutes and counting.

Is there any reason to sit through the credits? I just pressed a button and skipped them.

Also; I thought I was done letting this game infect my brain after my initial week-long binge of playing it, but I'm reading this news story about a construction CEO who died in a plane crash, and my first thought was "so which stock am I supposed to invest in?"

I feel gross, I'm gonna go read some literature or something

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.


gently caress gently caress gently caress this third triathalon.

First time I made it to 18 minutes and with NPCs zooming past me I thought I had missed instructions on how to shift the bike. Eventually I hot Dpad right and I abandoned the mission with no notice or confirmation.

Second time I made it to 23 minutes and straight loving died on the beach when I ran into a pole.

Third time I ran over a pedestrian at 27 minutes at the end line for the bikes. got a wanted star, automatically fail.

FOR FUCKS SAKE why have me mash a button for a half a loving hour with no loving checkpoints I can return to. Seriously? What the gently caress is fun about this?

You totally can, and when you've got all the engine and turbo upgrades it's so much fun to just bomb around the wilderness in.

I wasted so much time in that car.

I so hope that in Online someone sets up a race of some form on the horse racing track. It'd be great for it, and it's woefully underused right now.

e; Thanks to everyone's parachuting tips in the thread, I think I've been able to figure out how to do that reasonably well now too. Managed to nail the few parachute jump events I've done all 100% on the first try so far. :toot:

I'm selling mine when I get home just because GTA Online is probably going to screw with Social Club availability and I'd like to have money available. 435% is plenty of earnings too.

Except for the very game we're talking about, which even includes the PS3 digital release. New Zealanders IIRC could unlock it at midnight their time and it's why we got the reports of problems with the digital version as early as we did.

Although I think you're right that this is almost certainly going to be a worldwide simultaneous unlock; there is basically zero chance of the Rockstar Social Club working tomorrow.

Everyone in the Reddit thread is selling at 6 pm EST so you want to get out between then and 8 PM EST. In case anyone is interested they also have a twitter account with info on when and where they are investing next.

DLC idea: allow players to campaign for political issues and vote (Prop 208 I'm looking at you) with real-game-world effects. I want to buy stocks in a Medical Cocaine company and then spend all week lobbying and bullying and scamming to get the bill passes so I can break the bank. This would work SP or MP if they did it right.

I have literally zero doubt that it's going to be 'activated' at some point in the future. There are a bunch of currently-useless spots like this, like the empty Flecca branch out by the Alamo Sea.
