Okay, Trevor's border patrol mission is unmitigated (Rockstar-signature) bullshit. It won't let me shoot the people who should get shot!

He's saying he can't choose to kill the border patrol dudes. Don't worry, those missions have a great payoff.

Just keep playing those border patrol missions.

And speaking of border patrol, those random events totally screwed me over until I knew what to expect. Shotgun to the face while struggling to aim while driving, not cool man. But of course you can just get out, activate bullet time and get rid of those guys.

Now that online is working, I'm enjoying it. Won the first race, a bunch of people playing together called me a friend of the family a few times after the race, so after they got in my car for the next mission I decided to drive the car off a pier instead :devil:

You can but its kind of tricky and involves walking across some girders. There's a parachute up there and I got out of that mission by jumping off the crane.

Parachuting off is one of the requirements to 100% this mission. I don't think you have to jump from the crane but I did after making the girder walk and falling but landing on one of the little catwalks on the crane thankfully.

It's a side story mission with side characters, dip poo poo! Just keep playing them and the story will eventually let you kill them however you want in the end.

With a combination of my cellphone, a cartomizer punch, a multitool, and a bottle of ecig juice I now have Michael running a circle in the desert for several miles. He is literally carving a little circular groove into the ground. I would take a picture but my phone is pushing the thumbstick.

Naw, I figured that it would end that way but that does not mitigate the bullshit of my gun just refusing to fire like that.

It wouldn't be a big issue except that online is loving fun and has a whole bunch of interface improvements that single player doesn't have.

The ragdoll button doesn't work in online which is some fuckin buuuullshit. (At least it doesn't seem to, someone please tell me I'm wrong.)

When does Redwood go up after the 2nd assassination mission? I got the 80% return out of Debonair and reinvested it in Redwood, slept at least 8 times and it's like +.04%. Not the weekend or anything.

If anybody else has this happen just go do something else other than sleeping/saving. Went for a long drive and dicked around for a bit and next time I checked the stock it was up. Same thing happened with Vapid stock I think. Sleeping/saving wouldn't get it going, but just spending time doing something did.

This is what godmode is made for, it's like playing Just Cause 2 with an improved engine :allears:

e] That reminds me, my one gripe with these games, same as GTA4, I wish when you died it didn't fade out to reloading until you hit X or something. If I die by being lit on fire and exploded off a cliff I want to see it in all it's glory dammit.

So I've finished the game and think its kind of weird that throughout the entire thing you never fly a fighter jet. In fact, after the first couple of Trevor missions you never have to fly a plane in any story mission. Just seems kind of weird. Same with how they put in a lot of elaborate areas that they don't touch, like the prison or the outdoor auditorium up in the hills.

I had that same thought, but then realized that all these areas and vehicles are getting used in GTA Online. Add in the mission creator when it's released and you can build a mission around any place on the map.

Speaking of Mary-Ann, I wanted to go all the way across the map to meet her but the taxi just didn't have the fast travel option. I even changed taxis and it was the same story. Is there something specific that causes that?

The housemaid just walked past (Michael) and said "Ms Amanda give me pill, say I'll work faster".

The game has so many hidden jokes, GTA IV I was still finding things here any there years after, this already just has so much more.

Okay, you can spoil the ending if you want, but I gotta know something about that bullshit fake heist mission about a third into the game. Did they ever explain what that weapon was? Or why Trevor just gave it up because Lester told him to? And how it got back under the ocean? And where the helicopter I got went? Or any of the other dozen things about it that make no sense? Or was that heist just part of the game that Rockstar developed halfway but had to abort for budget reasons or something and hastily tied off?

It was a nuclear bomb. It's to set up Merryweather as an opposing faction. You need to dump the Cargobob because it'd get recognised I guess. The heist was probably going to be that all along but it's not very good

Wow Rockstar. Surely with a budget of $texas and the knowledge that no matter when you release the game you will get rich, you could have revisited that plot and even ATTEMPTED to make it make any sense before launch? I mean, technical issues can be fixed with patches later on, but plot issues can't, unless you're idiotic like the Mass Effect 3 writers.

Really? The purpose of that mission was to show that the protagonists aren't entirely protected by the FIB, and if they do something too big they'll have the whole world on their asses.
