Spill!

Awwe shit! I got the expensive hacker and stealth guy but cheap shooter. I'm executing that mission tonight. I want all my coins.

Side note, I love that damn Mustang GT looking car. And I always steal a black one.

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.

And you were laughing at my treasure hunting! Ha!! :D

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. :)

Hahah I LOL cause it's cool how many lucrative things you can get in to.

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!

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.

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"!

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!

Putting all my money in stocks at the moment.

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.

Ah okay

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.


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

Just made 438k in 30 min :)

Say whaaaa. In stocks? Explain your secrets!

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

^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.

Treasure hunting :)

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!

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

Anyone figure out how to redo missions?

Also, anyone bought property?

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

And here I was proud of myself for swaying the market and owning the airstrip and penthouse. Haha

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

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

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.

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.

Read my last post. I explained how to do it.

What the....:laughing1:

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.

I literally just figured this out last night at a clothing store. haha
This games a trip.
