1. At any point after the LifeInvader mission go buy LifeInvader stock.
2. Immediately sell it by selecting the LifeInvader stock from your portfolio or market tab, then sell -> sell all.
Do NOT use the sell all button directly on the portfolio tab, only sell from the lifeinvader page itself.

Went from 5k-100k on Michael and Franklin in about 10 minutes.

Thanks for this. Just been using it in conjunction with the $500k pre-order bonus that the game gave to Franklin...

Been playing in first person only, except for when I have to pick up a car to be towed.

Two questions about first person I can't seem to figure out:

1. Is there no way to stealth run?

2. Is there a way to pedal at a normal speed on bikes in first person? Holding X makes me go fast and burn stamina.

The lifeinvader glitch isn't working for me on Trevor. It only goes up by about 1k each round.

It worked fine for Mike and Franklin though. They're sitting maxed out with stocks still left over.

Went from whatever Trevor's starting cash to 2 billion this morning using it.

That's weird, I got Trevor $185 million no problem. I did it after the airstrip because someone said they had all of their cash lost.

Can any of you guys help me here? I've got GTAV for a new 360 and played through it once fine. I'd never bothered with Live so it was all just offline. The other week, I finally connected and downloaded a few updates. Now, GTAV (as well as most of my other games) just constantly freeze up. I'm talking every five or ten minutes. It makes it completely unplayable. Anyone had anything like this/know of a solution?

It's pretty astounding what we considered "good" back in 2008.

I love that I bought GTA IV for PC like right after it came out, and it took me until my latest computer update to actually be able to run it at a respectable framerate with everything turned up to max. And now it looks like poo poo.

edit: To clarify I did buy it and the expansions on the 360 in the interim.

Here's a few minutes of my hour of holding out and calling the police during the Trevor/Michael exile in a blocked off parking structure in Los Santos. There's like 40 or 50 SUVs out there.

Don't bother watching the thing since it's mostly me trying to maintain or curate an equilibrium. I saw a picture of it in this thread back in its PS3/360 days and figured I'll try to recreate it here. I think the same post mentioned that this amount of SUVs would easily crash the PS3/360.

It didn't have AA, actually. It had some really awful looking blur filter (not FXAA or whatever, it literally just blurred everything).

I believe it got proper AA to replace the lovely filter in one of the late patches, which broke ENB and resulted in a Boris meltdown.

I am terrible at shooters, so eventually in all GTA games I get to the point where my skill level just doesn't match the game, and I end up stopping play. I know cheating disables achievements, but does it also disable saving in this game?

Just use the assisted aim, it'll basically lock on to an enemy every time you pull the left trigger. It makes just about every shootout in the game pretty easy.

Just use full or partial assisted aim. You hold the aim button and it zips right to the chest of the closest guy you're aiming at and you pull the trigger.

No but I wish it did. :( However, any time you need to shoot and drive in single player, you typically have one of your other guys there so you just switch characters(something I always forget to do) and concentrate on shooting. Grenades and sticky bombs help a lot once those are unlocked.

One time after switching to Michael, I got the sequence where he drops Jimmy off at the pawn shop for something and Jimmy says something really douchey. I was so pissed that I ran him down with the car, got out, and popped him execution-style in the back of the head with my 9mm right in the middle of the street.

Goony question, but did GTAV always have boob physics, or is that something that Rockstar took the time to implement for the next gen versions? I always thought the character models were fairly static.

They were always there. poo poo, San Andreas had boob jiggle on pedestrians. Vice City probably did as well, but it's been forever since I played that.

Man, why does everyone hate on Jimmy? It's like hating Claptrap. He's a perfectly written annoying douche. (And Danny Tamborelli is such a great fit for this, holy drat.)

I'm pretty sure they want people to like Claptrap. Jimmy and the rest of Michael's family is just there daring you to like them for barely any other reason than "they're your family".

I like Jimmy as a GTA side char, but he's a piece of poo poo and I'm not shocked at all that the aggressive selling of him as the Ur American teen/internet troll makes people want to kill him.

There might be only 1 or 2 times you need to drive and shoot. I cant really think of any.

If someone is chasing you, stop the car, get out, murder them, and drive off. It works on almost every mission.

Lifeinvader glitch no longer working at all for me on any character. I actually lost 7 million on Mike when I tested it sheet it wouldn't work for Trevor.

So Mike and Franklin are sitting in the billions but poor Trevor is at like 103k.

The thing that horrified me most about Jimmy was the ride back from one of the last times he gets kidnapped and he's trying to explain why a 4Chan style assault on some guys deformed newborn was just trolling for laughs. At least give me the option to make him walk home.

Jimmy's basically the best character that isn't Michael, Franklin, or Trevor.

I was actually fairly butthurt after waiting 3 years looking forward to the release from the logo reveal on, bringing the game home from a grueling midnight release, sitting through the install, smoking a giant cathartic bowl and then being met with a super obvious dev self insert where a character says people sitting around playing videogames smoking pot all day is why everything sucks.

Thanks Houser. Enjoy my 60+ dollars.

Really Rockstar's critique of the modern day is their worst satire yet in the GTA games. I'm fairly certain it's the first one to tackle a satirical look at the era it came out in instead of the previous one and as it turns out, they're really bad at it.
