100% or just the main storyline?

Haven't checked the percentage yet but probably just the main storyline.

Just an FYI; I dumped a little into Gruppe, and realized shortly after, that the armored car you hit......is Gruppe. So though they are competitors with Merriweather, Gruppe was the carrier.

Finished the main missions last night. I'm at 75 percent done. I saved both dudes because I have a ton of side missions left. Progress on the phone said like about 50 little missions left which makes me happy I'm not done with the game. I hadn't played it in a week, shit is so hard to stop playing once you start it up.

Anyone online yet? How's that working? Read the Heists won't work for 2 weeks or so...

Haven't played in a couple of days, but I'm at a point in the game where both characters (Michael and Franklin) only shows that Lester and the Freaks and Weirdos are my only options for missions. No one else. Do I need to complete some of those missions to open up more? I've already killled the phone company CEO for Lester, but haven't done anything else as I read those need to be saved for last. Just been robbing stores and causing a ruckus.

80% so far.

Curious as well.

I'm curious that you're curious. Want to meet up?

:yucky:

:wtg:

So I'm getting the idea that the online launch is a flop at the moment?

Looks like it

Yes, I've spent the last hour and a half trying to get in without luck

Got to make my character, got picked up by Lamar at the airport and he dropped me in a parking lot where im supposed to race. The game just hourglasses saying launching session.

Im curious how far those of you on PS3 got using online yesterday?

I got all the way through the tutorials and was able to play no problems at all last night. It took about 3 min to load the first time after that it was fine. The servers are just slammed. I don't think they were expecting over a BILLION dollars worth of sales so quickly.

Is there a DFW50's crew or do I need to find one?

They will get it running. Gonna sit on it for a couple days and check it out then.

I'm down. Can you be in more than 1 I wonder?

assuming you're both on xbox im in.

:893karatesmiley-thu

Xbox, yo!

sob , lost 89k in the stocks

Which stock?

bittersweet.


I dump all my money into the stock so when I die all the time they take very little. so I usually put it into sonething that doesnt move really. maybe get lucky and make a few $ every now and then. but this stock tanked.

everytime I click on it ,it says market is down for maintaince. maybe it will come back. I hope so.

They said it was going to be easier to make money online, or at least larger amounts of it. I must be doing something wrong cuz I'm broke as a joke and the only way ive made any money is robbing stores then I spend the next 20 minutes trying to lose the cops who are a complete pain in the ass in this game!!

Online i'm assuming?

Yes.

Rock star servers are down for online but me and a few buddies were able to get into the same game ironically. If you haven't done online....keep trying its fun as shit. As Steve said Losing cops online is a PITA. Also if you enter a car as a passenger and others riding with have stars you obtain the same wanted level.

Any help?

No you dont have to do those missions. When I got to a point in the game where I didn't understand where the storyline continued, I noticed that in the cab it showed Michael's Lester mission labeled as being something other than "assassination". This took me to the part where you tailgate a janitor or something for the "big heist". Maybe this will help.

Thanks, Tim. I'll try it out eventually.

I finally beat the main storyline last night. Final mission takes a LONG time so don't do what I did and start it at 10:00 PM with the plan to go to bed by 10:30. What a freaking awesome game. Now I just gotta find some time to do some online play and customize every car possible!

What "lifestyle" choices did you make when creating? I did 3/4 Legal stuff and dumped what was left in illegal. It put me in dress slacks with button down shirt and tie......but with the sleeves rolled up lol.

Guess you're talking about the online. I haven't even booted up online yet. I was determined to finish the storyline before checking out online. Didn't want to get side tracked!

hahah business for the businessman.

Id have to check my lifestyle choices, but i found no matter the family tree changes i made my character was always black. I did alter my wardrobe though and currently wonder the city with cornrows, headphones, no shirt with a camo vest and short shorts.

Lol yea the ancestry is awful! The lifestyle choices basically governs your starting stats (stamina, strength, driving etc.)

I'm goin 100 percent illegal then, Trevor is a beast on the game.

This is a quick guide on what choices affect what stat. I hear anything less than 6 hours your character looks tired (i chose the minimum of 4 so I could use more hours on stats). Without sunglasses his eyes are bruised and red lol. Granted; your in-game stats will eventually get maxed I suppose spending points in sleep isn't a terrible idea if only for appearance preferences.

The more you invest in illegal activity the more your character has visible cuts/bruises etc.

Yea, I figured all that out when I actually saw what was happening. I tried to make the guy look like me, but he looks more like Corey Feldman. Lmao. I evened up almost all the attributes and ended up with a nice blue suit and crocidile shoes, Sinatra style hat and aviators. I look like I should be on Vice City more that this game, but I dig the look. Lol. I just need a pink shirt now.

Some guy failed miserably trying to kill me in his car, and someone in a copter succeeded to land on me. I kept staring at the map running in circles trying to shoot the white dot, didn't dawn on me someone already had a copter till I looked up to watch it smash me.

Besides the slow load times and getting booted all the time, shit is a lot of fun when it's working. Robbing the stores is getting lame, I get 1500-1800 bucks, then it turns 4 stars instantly and I die and lose 1200-1400 for bail and hospital. I hear u can kill yourself, gonna try to steal money, deposit to bank and end myself tonight, it's supposed to only be 500.

Last time I checked, swat didn't come out with 4 copters for a gas station robbery... Little over the top me thinks. If u go in, smoke the attendant with a silencer, and sneak out, does that warrant stars? Another Ill try tonight...

Are you shooting the clerk when your robbing a store? That will instantly get you another star. I also understand that if you play fair you'll migrate towards cleaner playing servers and less of an all out PvP where everyone is looking to stop you from doing anything more than dying lol.

Not killing clerk unless they shoot first. Got a mask, that helped 2 times, now its pretty much 4 stars as soon as I grab the bag.

Does putting money in the market stop them from taking it when you die (like it does in single player)?

im still trying to get online. it still hasnt worked yet for me. its just sits there loadng. like there is suppose to be a race or something. do I need to already be in a crew?
