Official GTA 5 thread

[Grandpa]

It's almost time for the new GTA game to be released and I thought we should have one thread dedicated to it. Everyday there is new info coming out about the game now. There is SO much to do in the game its really getting overwhelming quickly. At the very least there is 30 or more side activities/hobbies you can do to kill time when you aren't doing missions.

The game has a new engine, mechanics for shooting/taking cover (thank god!)

Keep in mind, GTA5 is FIVE times the size of Red Dead Redemption! It's HUGE. This game is bigger than the last two games combined.

The game has three central characters and are independent from eachother. They all they their own stuff, money, houses, stories etc.

1. Base Jumping
2. Hunting
3. Tennis
4. Golf (Full 9 hole golf course)
5. Shooting range (increase your skills and earn guns)
6. Scuba diving (search for buried treasure and watch out for sharks!)
7. Cycling
8. Jet skiing
9. Stock market (earning money)
10. Stunt plane trials
11. Liquor store & ATM robberies (earning money)
12. Investment properties (with perks like if you buy a Taxi company you never pay for a taxi ride again or you must buy a Helipad in order to buy a helicopter)
13. Random world events (hitch hikers, stranded motorists, abandoned cars with dead bodies in the trunk you can investigate to open a bigger mission)
14.Bounty Hunting
15. Random character encounters
16. Strip Clubs
17. Taking pictures
18. Triathlons
19. Bus tours
20. Arms trafficking
21. Car races
22. Buying car
23. Modifying cars in more ways than ever before. (bulletproof tires are rumored)
24. Clothes customization
25. Tattoos
26. Haircuts
27. Pets (some will be attack pets)
28. Yoga
29. Assassination missions


Rumored additional missions some that were in the previous game -

-casinos (poker, slots etc)
-bowling
-darts
-billiards
-ATV'n


Guns are now customizable too.

Police missions

More radio stations than ever, including Dubstep which will make Dale happy. lol.

Whew...so much to do! This game will save me a lot of money from going out and wasting money on other things since I will be buried in this game awhile!

Even though ive played all the prior series, im so pumped for this game release.

One thing i didn't see mentioned above that im curious about is online mutiplayer. Certainly single player has an intoxicating amount of activities and missions, but gotta have mutiplayer every now and again.

This game is gonna be such a time kill.

Not much has been released about the multiplayer yet. I imagine they will slowly be releasing a few tidbits each week as we get closer to the release date to build up the hype. Like you, I'm really curious about MP and excited about this new game!

[TrueStreetTim]

Most of you looking to console version I'm assuming?

[Courtesy Flush]

Most of you looking to console version I'm assuming?

360 for me. Someday ill get a good computer and be hip like you Tim.

[Grandpa]

Most of you looking to console version I'm assuming?

Yeah. It's hard to beat the online playing on Xbox Live.




Here is a list of everything with a motor and some things without. Planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, motorcycles, jets, jet skis, atvs, boats etc.

Will you still be able to fuck hookers and then beat them up to get your money back?

[Grandpa]

Nothing has been mentioned about that I have seen.

[BLK2012GT]

That the last GTA game I played.

[JDMLOL]

Will you still be able to fuck hookers and then beat them up to get your money back?

Lol. I would go several steps further than just beating them up and retrieving my refund. Things that I'm not proud of.

[Grandpa]

Okay, this thread just got a lil creepy..

[Phuck Phace]

No Doubt this game will be tits. I'm taking off a whole week to play it when it's released.

[Courtesy Flush]

Since there is strip clubs I'm sure there's hookers.
No worries, you creeps will get your fix.

[Grandpa]

I just found a lil tidbit hint from a insider at Rockstar that somewhere in the ocean is a treasure to have millions of dollars in it. The problem with it is that it moves around because there is NPC's also treasure hunting. When the NPC finds it, it's gone for a period of game time and reappears somewhere randomly.

[ochoblanco]

I still play Vice City to this day...98% complete...and I simply can't reach 100%. Driving me insane. And to think I still have to finish 4 and the 2 side packs before ill start on 5. Yes I know, OCD

Do you use cheats? I thought that they made the game impossible to get 100 complete if cheats were used. Like several missions were literally not possible to beat if cheats were used ever in the game save.

[ochoblanco]

No cheats. I've been playing it for years without help online or through forums.

[JDMLOL]

Okay, this thread just got a lil creepy..

Lol. It's a game centered around nothing but crime, murder and illegal activities. There are a lot of creepy things already built in.

[Grandpa]

So you're telling me you never go around sweeping the streets on that game with flame throwers, rocket launchers, molotov cocktails, snipe people's heads off, stab, etc? That's part of the game.

[TrueStreetTim]

No Doubt this game will be tits. I'm taking off a whole week to play it when it's released.

...then when will you drink!?

[Phuck Phace]

...then when will you drink!?

Meh, I'm quitting for 30 days, started yesterday.

[Grandpa]

So you're telling me you never go around sweeping the streets on that game with flame throwers, rocket launchers, molotov cocktails, snipe people's heads off, stab, etc? That's part of the game.

Random chaos is one thing. Thinking through a scenario like you did is a different mind set. lol.

Meh, I'm quitting for 30 days, started yesterday.

Just play the game and don't look at your bank statements that you spent on your car or you will start drinking again. :D

[BLK2012GT]

How does the online play work cause I've never played GTA online before?

[03MachMe]

This is the first game I will be buying right after it comes out in a long time

[Grandpa]

Online play is fun as hell. Just about anything you can think of you can do. If you play with a group of people you know it's even more fun. Destruction, chaos etc.

There is all kinds of mini games too. Gang territory, Deathmatch, car racing etc.

I don't have it. I've been meaning to get it though because Matt (Strokd) plays it a lot.

[03MachMe]

PS3 is where it's at!

[Grandpa]

PS3 is where it's at!

Graphics are slightly better on PS3, but online play on Xbox is FAR superior to PS3 and that will change with the release of Xbox One which is going to have insane graphics and gameplay.

[musclestang89]

I cant believe i plan on buying this. I thought is would never buy another gta game after gta4. I rarely played it. after hearing about gta5, I started playing gta4 again. lol. now im real excited about gta5.

[STROKD]

I just want to get rich in the game and get a plane. When I could fly on San Andreas, game was basically over for me, I just like flying around dive bombing people while they are shooting at me.

O Geez here we go. Please explain how it is Far superior.. Other than having to pay for it lol

And ps4 will still have better graphics that the xbone so they are still behind

[musclestang89]

No one we play online with plays PS3, so 360 is far superior.

The debate is pointless, if you arent a broke dick buy both and stfu about which is better. The arguement fan boi shit is fucken retarded.

Naughty Dog games make the Playstation better. Online play is better on the X Box. Buy both systems and live a little longer without the stress.

[2012mustang76123]

Can't wait for this will probably rent saints row for a week just to satisfy my gta excitment though.

Ha, but you aren't complaining bout which is better like the millions of fan boi threads have turned these discussions into. They are both good machines, that's why it makes sense to have both. :)

[blownaltered]

I personally like the graphics better on the ps3 better but the online play on the xbox is more fun. If not for the simple reason most my friends that I played online with play on xbox. I liked my xbox but after 3 broke I didn't want to pay for another, so that's how I ended up with a ps3 but with the new xbox coming out I might pick up a used 360 since I think the prices are about to drop

[Grandpa]

I like the Xbox because the servers are more secure from cheaters and hacks. The PS3 servers are very easy to glitch and hack. Xbox regularly updates their servers as well.

[Phuck Phace]

I had a PS3 when they first came out, it broke within the first 6 months, sold it after that and purchased a 360. XBOX 4 LYFE YO!

[2012mustang76123]

Taking my vacation during the week this comes out. Should beat it in 7 days.

[Grandpa]

You may be able to go through the storyline, but no way will you get close to completing it 100%.

[saunupe1911]

They were easy to hack before they revamped the network after everyone started jailbreaking the PS3. My jailbroken PS3 was the best console ever, but I went back to stock after they updated their security and PSN. Their network security is night and day difference now. Just trust me on that...lol

I actually did complete one of the Grand theft auto games all the way to 100% once. It took fucking forever and all I got was a damn t-shirt. Literally when I beat the game a 100% I didn't get shit but a new shirt so I went to the hide out and put it on and looked in the mirror. It literally said " I just beat grand theft auto IV 100% and all I got for it was a t-shirt". It was pretty damn funny in all reality but I was hoping for something more.

Haha, that is hilarious. I don't think this game will be beatable at 100% in less than a month and that is for someone playing it nonstop, 7 days a week for 12 hours a day.

Think about it this. You know how long it took you to find all the hidden items in San Andreas, right? Now, taking that into consideration, GTA 5 is bigger than the last TWO GTA games COMBINED or 3 1/2 times bigger than Red Dead Redemption!!

Watch this to give you an idea. The game is HUGE.

That looks like a whole lot of empty area. It's cool the map is big but it looks like they made it big with very little content. Being that big just to say its that big sucks for game play. It's going to take forever to get somewhere

[Ear rak]

So whos down for starting an online gang on xbox?

You obviously haven't read much about it. There is a TON of stuff in that map, even in the rural areas. Go search GTA5 on Youtube. It's ridiculous the amount of stuff they put in that map. It's 49 square miles! Check it out bro, you'll be shocked!

They have helicoptes, jets, airplanes etc. All kinds of stuff to get you where you want to go in a hurry!

It's the most expensive game in history to make too. $256 million dollars to make it. They are expecting over a BILLION dollars in sales.

So whos down for starting an online gang on xbox?

Hell yeah!

[TrueStreetTim]

I watched some multiplayer vids and it seems right up our alley. We had some good fun with cat & mouse in Forza coupled with tons of laughs. Am I REALLY going to have to get this on console? sigh*

[STROKD]

how much
U need hdmi?
I have a white one with no hdmi and an elite with. I bought a call of duty version I can swap the Elite for if u want hdmi.

What do they cost new these days? Might make sense for me to just keep it if its worth like 40 bucks. Never know when they decide to break down. Lol.

[Ear rak]

I have a spare 360 Ill sell if anyone needs one to join the gang.

How much? How old and has it ever been repaired?

[STROKD]

How much? How old and has it ever been repaired?
Lol, I just ordered a One, I have 3 360s, one is almost brand new COD version with game, extra remote and the console painted with a half a terrabyte drive. I had planned to keep this one and maybe sell my whote 20 gig or my elite (120). ALL of them are the original style. None have ever rrop'd or been repaired/opened etc. Send me PM's don't wanna ruin Steve's thread. I don't know what they are worth, but I'm not sellin em for 50 bux. It costs more to repair them if I did have an issue, and I bet in the next year you won't be able to find em at all. If the One plays old games I won't care, but I know my PS3 doesn't play PS2 games.

[blownaltered]

I look at used ones the other day at gamestop and they were only around a 100 bucks. I just hate buying another system when I already have a playstation 3, but everybody I know is buying it on the xbox

Came across an interesting thread on a gaming forum where someone decided to start a war by asking the question which console they planned to get GTA 5 on. A few posts down someone else starts talking about how all of the GTA 5 gameplay videos were taken from a PS3 because it runs better. Have no clue about any of this, could have all been a bunch of BS. I own both consoles but am going for the PS3 version for free online gameplay since I refuse to pay for an XBox Live membership.

I'm forgoing the PC version (god mode compared to console :rotflmao:) simply to have you fine folks to play along with. I know how important a community is to gameplay (for me) to enjoy it the best. So I will continue my payments for Xbox at this point and fumble my way through thumb aiming. Though $50 for 1 year is damn near what I pay a month for net anyhow.

[STROKD]

:emotions34:

Lmfao about the huge 4.50 a month to enjoy the game online... "Holy shit's my 35000 dollar car takes all my monies and I can't afford a gallon of gas per month to enjoy the game far better on the x box format... But I spent 300+ dollars for another console I refuse to play online with!"

Makes sense.

Btw I heard PS4 is going to be 10-12 bucks a month... 4.50 doesn't seem so bad now huh?

[2012mustang76123]

Been playing the ps3 recently and while online once in a while you have this horrible lag, annoying as heck.

[TrueStreetTim]

Which character are you? Trevor for me. Perhaps Franklin (depends on multiplayer aspects).


Franklin; slows time down while driving which will help gamers slip through roadblocks and more.

Michael; can activate a bullet time modes to slow down the action while shooting.

Trevor; can limit the damage he takes and inflict more damage for a limited amount of time.

Line wasn't long at all. I'm still playing from last night. The game is good. Bout to get some breakfast and keep playing. Tired.

My hero.

[Bearded Banger]

Is it worth getting? Overall impressions?

[BLK2012GT]

I'm going to Walmart and buying that shit today.

[GunsUp]

Wish I hadn't sold my PS3 to my uncle last month now

[STROKD]

I played it till 4. Had to go to work this morning, or I'd still be playing it. I haven't even looked in the strategy book yet. I was more tired when I woke up than when I went to sleep. Already plan to leave work early and have my Monster drink ready to play till tomorrow morning again. The Aston Martin is the best handling car I've tried, I stuffed it in the garage with the Charger you start out with... Had to walk out of the car with the top down. Lol

[GunsUp]

Vice City is still the best

[STROKD]

Vice City is still the best

Not even close. This is like Vice City, San Andreas and about 3 other GTAs that didn't exist before all thrown into a blender. This game is sooooo much better than the last flop.

This was posted just 6 hours ago:

Rockstar may have advised gamers not to install the GTA 5 "play" disc for Xbox 360 because of performance related issues, but the tech wizards over on Digital Foundry have discovered a solution for those who want a disc-less experience.

You should carry out the mandatory install to the Xbox 360 hard drive as normal, but when you go to install the "play" disc you should do so to a USB flash drive.

Ensuring the game data and play disc are installed to separate drives allegedly eradicates texture pop-in encountered as a result of the reading bottleneck brought about when installing both discs to the hard drive.

[STROKD]

I think I installed both discs on accident. It does have the pop in's every now and again. I guess I could erase everything and start over, doesn't seem really that bad. Only really noticed it on the intro.

[musclestang89]

ah hell just bought my copy, only have about 30mins of play time then got to go to work.

[DirtyD]

I may buy it this afternoon....

[virtu]

Thanks to Best Buy for having copies located right at the front door. I was in and out within 3 minutes tops. Can't wait to get home from work! :headbang:

Depends if the character perks apply to multiplayer. I'm guessing not?

Judging by the video it looks like it's intro related for sure. Not a big deal to me either.

No way.

I used to let my son play gears of war with the cussing turned off and the gore turned off but I quit that and now all he plays is lego star wars and sports games. And they won't be around when I play this game.

[BLK2012GT]

Fuck this install disc takes forever to download.

[TrueStreetTim]

I'm just in it to drive around an cause havoc. WTF plays missions? :p

Probably the first thing I do.

Steal a car. Drive cautiously until I bump into something then go on a 4 wheel rampage till cops come with their guns.

[DirtyD]

I'm fucking pissed!

No where I read mentioned anything about needing a minimum 8GB of storage space to install the first disk! That complete fucking bullshit!!! Which renders my 4GB absolutely fucking useless.

I understand it perfectly fine. The xbox I have was a Christmas gift.

But seriously, I know the game it huge, but 8 fucking gigs just to install the pre-play disk? Is this like a 2 TB game or something??

[TrueStreetTim]

You can get a 16GB PNY USB for $10 at Best Buy that should install the disc in under 10 minutes. Easy and cheap alternative to storage issues.

Since the game come with 2 8GB disks, one of the, the install disk, has to be installed to the xbox hard drive. The play disk can be used on a flash drive, which I have that covered.

[03MachMe]

haha another reason PS3 is the shit. just 1 Blu-ray disk, plenty of room on my 80g PS3

Cool I have 120 gb on my Xbox. Have fun losing online for a week when it gets hacked again

Broken down and just bought the 320GB add on HDD and the game. Better be worth the $200.

[musclestang89]

thanks steve for the cheats. was about to look them up lol.

just got home fixing something to eat and about to play. wife sleeping, baby sleeping, dont have to work early tomorrow. so im good to play for awhile


oh im on 360

[DirtyD]

Does any body want a copy of GTA V for Xbox 360 and/or a 320GB HDD for the Xbox 360 slim?

After playing the game last night, although awesome, I really didn't need to spend the money, and I can't afford to keep them. Actually selling my entire Xbox.

I was able to play the game, so I'm content.

[Junkie]

I'm interested, how does the memory install? Is it enough?

[DirtyD]

I'm interested, how does the memory install? Is it enough?
Yeah, way more than enough. lol.

On the right side of the case, when looking from the front, there is a door that opens to reveal an empty HDD spot. Just slides it right in.

I'm posting the FS ad now, so we don't clutter this thread.

I'm thinking about going to get this today :)

Think GTA 2 was the last time I had played the franchise. So my first few moments in the game went nothing as I expected. Thought I'd share.

I felt the first open-world opportunity came when it cut you lose as Franklin in his home. First thing....tried to beat up mom (didn't work). So I got high, drank a beer, beat up the neighbor, who apparently thought I was his friend. Hopped in that turd of a "Charger", groped a stripper and epicly failed a stunt jump that set my intentions on the airport from that height. Found out quickly they don't take kindly to trespassers so I highjacked a Learjet and found out (too late) that you can't reverse through cars. So I was stuck with nothing but my thoughts about the kind of person I had become to land me in that situation......for about 5 seconds before popping the door, dropping a couple cops before they dropped me. Looking forward to more!

I too went for the airport but I was successful and went on a nice flight. I will warn you there is a military base on the west side about half the way up the map and if you fly over it they will send f16s to blow your ass out of the sky. Luckily I got away and flew around for a little bit. Crashed it and stole a boat, I found where the white water rapids are and went down them in a speed boat. That was entertaining. I think the map is cool but I can already tell the free play is going to get boring after a while because the map is so big and I just don't see that much to do. I need to find a strategy guide so I can see where all the crap is so I don't get bored screwing around.

Lmfao at Tim, good times!!!

Last night I was wandering around the mountains, ended up near a gas station... Figured I wonder what... Next thing I know I'm on fire and dead. Out of the hospital, I'm walkin around, tried to talk to a Sheriff lady, she got pissed. I walk off like ok bitch calm down. She starts yelling for me to stop, I don't, so she starts shooting me. After taking 2 in the shoulder I had enough. Turned with my shotgun and blew her ass back 5 feet. Instant 3 star man hunt... I think, wtf am I gonna do in this desert? There's no where to hide... Turn around and I see a gd train passing! I run to it and hop on (didn't think it'd work!)... Ducked down between some train cars and rode to freedom. The chopper was following for a good 5 minutes looking for me. Hopped off, stole an armored truck after shooting both guards, hid out behind a warehouse for wanted level to go away again, exit truck, shotgun the rear cargo hold 5-6 times, and walla (monies!). Wasn't but like 8 grand but it was enough to make it rain at the strip club and get 3 strippers to invite me home. Lmfao. Best game eva! This was between doing the missions which I don't want to ruin for anyone.

Lol "treasure hunter". Watched a video with a guy who's had 60-70 hours in the game pre-release. Said he spent a majority of time on the tennis court lol. I planned to finish the night with a game of golf lol, but I'll be damned if I just can't make up my mind on what to do. There is definitely no method to the madness!


Matt, I'm surprised the helo followed you that long. I've been able to lose the heat by driving down railroad tracks for a quick, unhindered getaway.....so far. And that sounds about right for the armored payoff.

[STROKD]

Played golf and tennis yesterday, both are a lot of fun.

Steve, was the 4 million on a mission, or a random stickup? If random, details of said jewelry store. Lol

Tim, it was 3 stars, probably took so long since I wasn't escaping that fast on a 40 mph train, AND I shot a cop in front of a police station. I think they were pissed.

I know, right? I don't know why I'm so fascinated with it. The hunt is just too much fun.


Oh, by the way. When you are out in the damn forest, keep your gun out. Mountain lions and wolves will attack you without warning! Took me forever to get out there only to die unprovoked. I was pissed! lol


I also rode up the cable cars to the top of the mountain where I found a parachute up there to jump with and I also found a page of the confession from the murder mystery.

I gotcha. Yeah I hear folks will try to mug you in certain areas lol. I would be interested to know about that 4 mil payday too! Most I've heard so far is around $500k for an assassination mission. Tonight I plan to try and drop some money into the stock market and see if I can't manipulate my investments by taking out the competition. lol

[Courtesy Flush]

I truly enjoy the missions so far, switching characters is genious. Found this lifted pickup at the beach that's pretty solid for mowing down civilians. Also Franklin has a mean right hook.

[blownaltered]

Damn it Steve where is this damn jewelry store. We some broke bitches up in here and need some scratch. Sorry the game lingo is rubbing off

[Grandpa]

It's a Michael mission only at the moment. But I'm seeing there is other heists down the road in the game. I suspect it's training for the online portion of the game for "crew heists" online.

The more I read about the online the more I look forward to it. It's going to be nuts!!

Very strange for sure. I wish you got to keep the gun.

Well...I may be keeping the game afterall.

I found out you can run the install disk from the 16GB Xbox labeled USB drive, so I'm going to hopefully return the HDD to Wal-Mart and get the $20 USB instead.

Not your fault, Tim. Everything I read only mentioned using an actual HDD for the install disk. I found the original Rockstar press release saying the 16GB USB will work.

I have a premium Slacker account that I use often. They released an update today which included this gem of a station lol!

I will have to go on tonight and look for this. The stations suck if you don't like rap, which I don't. I want that metal station, then I will be happy.

Yea sucks. The rock station blows too. How can you :greenchainsaw: without the :peace:

I grew up in Cali listening to that music. It's like candy for my ears, I think I have every song on the original artist's cd. Long live 90s west coast rap! Lol

When rap was actually lyrical and performed with heart by musically inclined artist. Even I can listen to that.

For anybody who hasn't gotten to the jewelry store heist please pay attention. You will get to choose your partners on this mission. They give you 2 choices for every position, one is cheaper than the other. Do all the expensive ones, I used one guy that was cheaper and he cost me a lot of money because he wrecked out when leaving. Again it only cost 5% more to have the more expensive guy, the cheaper guy wrecked with a million bucks on him. I lost 25% of my money trying to save 5%. Damn me for being cheap.

Hell with the cheats/exploits lol. Started dropping money into the market and playing around. I first went to AUG Insurance and figured I could profit off wrecking cars (which is prone to happen). I think the market is supposed to fluctuate in real time so I don't know how long it will take to get an idea of how fast a stock will drop or rise. I bought it cheap (like $18 i think) and proceeded to play crash up derby. The stock started to decline quicker though it was also in a downward spiral to begin with, but it got me thinking; I wonder if I had it all wrong and I should NOT smash into cars lol. I'll try manipulating the market again tonight. A bit more in-game time will tell. So far my bank investments are steadily paying off.

I bought stock in all the airline related stuff with Trevor. I haven't checked to see if it's done anything or not.

I thought it was an all too obvious choice that early in the game to appeal everyone's greed factor setting us up to fail. So I made the more expensive choices and it paid off. :)

Ok I just talked to my buddy Matt and he did the same damn thing but he told me where I messed up. When the guy wrecks the bike, get off your and walk over and you will pick up the money. So there will be no money lost if you do it that way.

Good to know!

[blownaltered]

I remember at the beginning of the game it said you could redo missions to score higher. Has anybody done this yet? Seems like it would be a good way to gain extra money.

[Grandpa]

Robbed my first convience store only got $228 bucks.

Actually, yeah I was about to say that. I'm pretty sure I remember in the cut scene at the end Franklin says he grabbed the money that the guy dropped. I never got off the motorcycle though. Maybe if you just drive over it it'll get picked up.

BTW: Where do you get parachutes and scuba gear from?

I didn't get to run over mine, he wrecked next to me and I had cops shooting my ass up. So unfortunately I love a million bucks on that job. Don't hire a cheap driver, a friend of mine did that and he said the driver actually stopped twice to look at a map because he was lost and my buddy ended up having to figure out how to get out.

The truth was spoken before we even started playing.

So far I have a memorable quote from each day playing this game lol.

Tuesday:
"Don't make me run through you"!
"I got something that will run through you".
"....I'm not so sure that joke works, homey".
"....man, f@#$ you"!

Wednesday:
"F@#$ that guy! And f@#$ his deck"!

[Ear rak]

So anyone start to deck out the cars yet?

I've got a 69 camaro looking thing and a 67 chevelle looking thing...both with wheelie bars!

Parachute = cheat. :lol:

There is a free chute at the top of the mountain. I died trying to figure out how to deploy it.

Well you're bound to get it at some point during the game since they talk about base jumping and you even do parachuting as part of your flight training.

Lol! I was flying around for a minute last night and like an idiot I started pressing buttons wondering why the gear wouldn't come up. Come across the "Y" button and ejected myself. Made a solid 4 second, scream of death free fall before plunging into the water with about 3% health left.

Well you're bound to get it at some point during the game since they talk about base jumping and you even do parachuting as part of your flight training.


I think there are a handful of parachute icons on the map for base jumping.

Say whaaaa. In stocks? Explain your secrets!

[TrueStreetTim]

If your trying to influence market behavior like me, here is a list of companies and their competitors:

CoolBeans - BeanMachine
Burgershot - Up-An-Atom
CluckinBell - TacoBomb
FlyUS - AirEmu
GoPostal - PostOP
Bilkington - DollarPills
Pisswasser - Logger
MazeBank - BankOfLiberty
Redwood - Debonaire
Slaughter, Slaughter & Slaughter - Bullhead
eCola - Raine
Merrywater - Grupper 6

[brtnstrns]

^But what all can you do to influence the market? The only thing I ever catch onto is when they toss it into conversation within the missions.

[Grandpa]

Treasure hunting :)

[TrueStreetTim]

^But what all can you do to influence the market? The only thing I ever catch onto is when they toss it into conversation within the missions.

For instance; try stealing a brand name delivery truck etc. Smash it up and stocks will drop for that company but go up for competitors. Buy stock in FlyUS and run around highjacking or blowing up AirEmu aircraft. Just lucrative acts of sabotage while holding stock in the competitor.

I hold stock in TacoBomb and rob every chicken joint I come across. Roll that money back into TacoBomb and make money on both ends. Fun for me lol!

[Ear rak]

I haven't even worried about money yet. Need to start getting involved in that. Franklin is already running low on "paper"

[Courtesy Flush]

Anyone figure out how to redo missions?

Also, anyone bought property?

[Grandpa]

Lets see. Ive bought the scrapyard, marina slip, couple garages, recycle plant. I know im forgetting something in there.

How much of the game have you completed Steve? I think I'm like 17%

[Phuck Phace]

I just beat that bitch and got 27 million. Now what?

[Grandpa]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the airstrip Trevor bought. That too. No penthouse though, just the baller house that Lester bought Franklin.

I think I'm somewhere around where you are completion wise, but I've been doing a lot of free roam too doing things to make money.

I found you can rob ANY store, even the Barber shops, clothing stores and Ammuntion stores. Even though when you walk in it makes you put your gun away, what you do is walk right back out of the store to the door pushing the door outwards and stand just right out of the door threshold. Pull out your gun and shoot the clerk. Then you can run in with your gun. Use a shotgun to shoot the cash registers and the moneybag will pop out. Most times you won't even get any wanted stars. The Ammuntion stores have TWO cash registers. It's an easy, quick 500-1000 bucks if you are in need of money.

[brtnstrns]

I'm curious how y'all are robbing restaurants in the game. Every restaurant I've come across isn't a building you can actually enter.

Anyone have any luck stealing a fighter jet? I have tried multiple times, unsuccessfully.
I got into one last night, and was blown up by a barrage of 5 missles at one time. After dodging 4 previously. I was pissed.

I found the easiest way to get there is by using the Skyfall cheat from cheat code central (LB LT RB RT Left Right Left Right LB LT RB RT Left Right Left Right) and work your way towards the Fort. I found out a glitch in the skyfall that if you dive straight into the ground, you will live and lose VERY minimal life. Just don't skid. Literally go head first, straight down.

You need to try and get as close as you can to the position of the fighter jet so you have less room to run and trigger the army after you.

Shit. I'm going to have to start doing this.

[Grandpa]

I just stole the jet. Super easy to do.

My suggestion is to make sure you have a decently fast car to do this. Use Trevor for this for the best odds.

Haul ass breaking through the military base front gate, make your first RIGHT, then your first LEFT. Take it straight down to the hangar. There is a jet inside the hangar and the hangar will provide better coverage from the tanks. Jump in the jet, full throttle take off and head to the airport hangar you bought with Trevor. Park it inside the hangar and then go get yourself killed. Then the jet will be saved in your hangar. :)


Now, the decision I have to make it do I take the Jet Fighter or my Learjet :D

[DirtyD]

No Trevor yet for me.

I will be trying this tonight. Trying to figure out where I want to spend my money first. I think I will start buying some buildings to make me money.

[Phuck Phace]

Easiest way to get money is to finish the main campaign foos. Each person gets about 27 million.

[STROKD]

As said, go ALL IN when Lester tells you a secret on the stocks... I made about 600 grand so far on just the 2 missions I've done by buying all I could, selling after the kill, then buying other stock.

First 2 u want are Beta Pharmaciticals. Then sell that when it goes way up before second mission. Then buy Debionaire Cigaretes. Franklin had 24k or so, now I have 160. I did same with the other 2 characters, u can swap to them before the mission starts and buy the stock. Also right after missions u get money. Buy more stock asap before huge price bump.

I did the first heist (valinco jewels?) and am disappointed that the stores stock hasn't dropped, like, at all so far. I was looking to invest my stolen money back into the store when their stock hit a reasonable price. Still not understanding if stocks fluctuate by in-game time or real world/xbox time & date.

Shit the jewelry stock went down like 25-30 percent when I robbed that joint. Wierd... You sure you are looking at the correct stock?

I'm tracking the name of the store itself so I would think that's correct. Granted; the in-game time hasn't passed but by roughly 30 min. Did it immediately drop after you hit it? It was still near $100 a share when I logged off last night and showing a profit still. I expected exactly what you saw and be worth somewhere around $40-$50.
