Speaking of that, is there any point to returning the purse in those events? Seems like the only point is if you want to RP a good guy.

It fully fills your special gauge, which is great for filling up on Franklin mode when you are going for stunt jumps.

Man, I thought I was late to the game buying Piswasser stock last thrusday and then I went on vacation. Figured it probably would've dropped by now but that poo poo has gone UP UP UP. Still climbing and I'm 28.66% up on 10838 shares. :homebrew:

Oh man, my absolute favorite thing in GTA3 era games was to hitch rides on the top of cars and shoot pedestrians on the way. I thought that this was gone forever after GTA4 made you lose your balance and fall off if you were on top of a moving car. Does this only work on trucks?

What's the point of all these trailers at the airport if I can't hook them up to anything? Unless i'm missing something, most of the trailers in this game can't be hitched to anything. I want to drag things around. What's the point of hitching things to trucks if all I can do is drag around a boat trailer? The airport is literally filled with things that look like they hook up to the Ripley and the air tug, but they don't. I haven't been this disappointed since I tried to hook up the trailers in GTA3 to the linerunner.

And where are the forklifts?

I bought the hangar at the airport and the game gave me it for free for some reason. Is this some glitch specific to the hangar or has anyone seen it work with other property, because it would be way convenient to get all the other stuff I can afford for free if I knew what happened.

e: And I just bought the yacht port for free as well. Is this supposed to happen or did I break the game somehow?

Okay so my game only crashes half way through the last mission. This is getting really tiring. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I tried installing the play disc and get disc read error, sigh. The entire rest of the game plays fine.

I just remember that during my final heist, while engaged in the final shoot out of the final heist in the parking garage, I blew up the car I was meant to use as my getaway. I'd spent the money on every conceivable upgrade for it. Thankfully I was able to grab another stock vehicle in the parking lot and get away. It was certainly harder, but drat was I pissed at myself for throwing around grenades like they were nothing..

If you have extra money to kick around it couldn't hurt to toss some at Ammu-Nation and see what happens come tomorrow. Especially since the stock was on the decline last time I checked.

You'll get a special event where they try to take you and you have to slaughter the camp after a couple more but no, it's not required and I don't recall you getting anything especially nice.

You can pose to make a lot of money if you save them until the end, the first one is needed to progress the story though. Check the OP.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Do a quick save from your phone, dump all your cash into Ammu-nation and then do a second quick-save (don't overwrite the first one). Come back tomorrow, if it's gone up then use the second save; if it's gone down then just use the first save.

Correct, save them. You need to do the first one (Hotel Assassination) to advance the plot though.

Why is it I can only enter the Vanilla Unicorn when switching to Trevor and the transition showing him there? The doors are not open any time I go round there. It isn't even 100% of the switches then even, because sometimes I will switch to him and he will be miles away. I wouldn't mind, but I have a game to finish here.

Is there a special condition?

This was such a weird thing for Rockstar to change. We'll take away modeled gas ports (present in GTA since at least San Andreas) but introduce the ability to shoot the gas tanks! Wait, what?

Outside of the one repossession mission, I've never seen a car leave a trail of gas for me to shoot. I still instinctively aim for the rear end end of cars where the gas cap should be, but only maybe one in twenty cars catch fire and blow quickly, all the others just soak a mag or two and then I give up trying to blow them.

I don't get why they would make that change.

It's a bug, I have the same thing going on which is really, really goddamn annoying when I switch to him only to find I'm trapped in a strip club with no one in it. I have to drop a grenade and blow myself up to get out.

I love that they did that. I didn't even notice it at first but you can wait for an expression to go with just about any situation. I still want to provoke someone and get a smug selfie right before they give me a punch to the back of the head.

Is there a known fix? I keep killing myself, then transitioning away to see if Trevor spawns in the right place, but eight tries in and no dice. Waste of $40,000.

The physics for this sort of thing are completely different in GTA V so you can once again keep your balance on just about any vehicle as long as they're not driving too erratically. The trick is picking something that is big enough that it can plow through hazards because if the vehicle comes to a stop the driver will get spooked and run on foot. Also beware of overpasses.

I found a bunch of dead guys in the desert with a $25k cash drop. I took the money and killed the survivors, which prompted a gang to come and get me, who shot the tank of my car which created a gas leak that they then lit to try to kill me.

first and only time I has happened, but it does happen it seems.
