Any tips for getting gold on missions with the unmarked objective? I find it really hard not to get shot in this game.

Everytime I got "unmarked" it was completely down to luck. I retried the Lamar/stretch mission several times, tried to stay in cover a lot, but there were always guys hitting my toe by blind firing across the room, Franklin catching fire before objects around him even started burning visibly, etc.

You don't have to avoid getting shot completely, though. I got it several times by accident in other missions despite of being hit a few times.

I tried following people in their cars and was pretty dissapointed to find often they'll just drive in relatively small circles.

I've had fun pulling people over in a stolen cop car. There's not much to do once you have, but it's a nice bit of next-level NPC harassment.

So, replaying a gunnrunner mission today, the dunebuggy got too close to one of the trucks which led to Trevor being underneath the truck. I rolled my eyes as I figured I would just watch the physics glitch and sort itself out. Instead, I actually watched as Trevor crawled under the truck, realistically shimmying himself underneath it and coming out on the other side. It's a simple thing, but that animation never shows up anywhere else in the game. I didn't even know that was a thing characters could do.

Oh man, I never thought about doing this. Is there a cop uniform wearable by anyone? I remember Michael and Trevor dress up as highway patrol at one point.

There's one character I regret taking to the cult in the mountains as Trevor. It's a girl who wanted to go to the lighthouse. She had a complete meltdown about how hosed up she and her family is and even Trevor was appalled. Does something interesting happen if you take her where you're supposed to?

you can booty call her and she calls you her boyfriend and is generally crazy. Fun dialog to listen to though.

I think you are right, whenever you call her for a booty call, afterwards it's raining.

Had a frustrating thing happen today. Whilst in the car I could only shoot my stun gun. I could get out and use any gun but in the car, only the stun gun was available to be used (well and sticky bombs and grenades). This was on PS3. Am I missing something very obvious?

Is there any way to bring back a hitchhiker if you brought them to the cult, perhaps by replaying earlier missions or something? I hate missing out on content, especially when the game itself suggests that I bring them there!

Nope, gone forever. There's a lot of stuff like this in the game where you just have to replay the whole game again to hear. For example, the dialogue and experience with playing Ricky only and his extreme growth in competence in the later heists. If you stick with Ricky the budding super hacker all the way though and replay, you'll only be offered the option to replay with Ricky the script kiddie, even in the last heist. On the other hand, you won't get Ricky the script kiddie phone bitch calls about not choosing him, which is kinda lost content too.

Yep, loads. The game was just behaving odd at the time and a reload seems to have sorted it.

I still got my man though, was chasing a guy who had stolen the taking from Pitchers, had police after him and after me, had to change cars twice, and still got him. Felt badass. Let's not mention that it took me several minutes to remember I could change to sticky bombs whilst driving as that would reveal be to be a dumbass.

I've only triggered this a few times, but the most memorable was when I raided Fort Zancudo on a bike. I used Franklin's special to get close to the jet without the alarm triggering, but screwed up and clipped the edge of the hangar. Franklin flipped off the bike and landed square under the plane.

Queue Frank crawling out from under the wing very slowly, while troops formed an impromptu firing squad around him, before riddling him with bullets.

I didn't get the jet that time.

I just beat the game but don't have any cop uniforms in the closet, just a couple other mission based outfits like the boiler suit, exterminator uniform, and a few others. I only checked as Franklin though, maybe it's character specific?

Only if you choose that method for the heist. Otherwise it shows up after you finish the story.

Rockstar gave a big update today (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire) and just about all of it was regarding GTA Online. They did, however, include a nice little nugget at the bottom of the article:

quote:

GTAV Story Mode Updates. For those ready to jump back into the story of Grand Theft Auto V, we have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin and Trevor's action, mayhem and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andreas.

As someone who loves the GTA V single player but can't really find enjoyment with Online, nothing would make me happier then some single player DLC.

Oh poo poo, that's awesome! I wonder how they're going to go about it, though, since everything wrapped up so nicely with picking option C at the end. Maybe it'll take place before the end of the game? Or I guess they could find some way to continue the story without it feeling contrived.

Yeah, I really miss even basic interactions with the world that were present in Saints Row 2, like being able to pick up things trash bags/food cartons and bash people with them, or hang around for location-specific idle animations. Just being able to sit on benches and do multiplayer-style animations would have helped (and made for cooler screenshots). Drinking isn't as fun as in 4 either - I remember Niko taking hilarious Euphoria tumbles if you so much as went down a step or walked up a curb, in 5 you pretty much walk slower for a few seconds and that's it.

In GTAIV, weren't you able to grab items and throw them, too. I could have sworn I used to go to the internet cafe and pick up Big Gulp cups and throw them at computer users and they'd freak out.

I wonder if it will be substantial like the GTA IV DLC, or if it will just be more 'stranger-type' missions. Either way, I'm excited for some more content.

How's it going to work if you didn't pick option C then? Prequel? I don't care, any more story content would be beautiful. gently caress I'd go for a full GTA 5-2, Final Fantasy style.

I'm literally mad irl at one of my friends for not picking C. Really says something about a person in my opinion that they'd burn their best friend to death just over a tiny little bit of physical and emotional abuse, murder and cannibalism :colbert:

Well, they need to work a casino heist into things somehow. That's the major heist we're missing.

Some sort of theft from the airport or an expanded military base heist could be fun too.

Please port the following features from Online to single player:

Car delivery
Car insurance
Bigger garages
Survival
Air strikes and mercs via phone
More cheats. Five minutes of invincibility is just sad.

And add randomly generated assassin missions somehow.

After screwing around in Online and knowing what the game can do, going back to single player is kinda disappointing :(
