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.

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!

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.)

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.

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)?

No crew needed.

Turn xbox off when it does that, turn back on and let game load to normal single player. First time u need to hit start, scroll right to online and join online. Make ur guy and it will take u the rest the way through.

I found a hilarious way to amuse myself today. I'm sure you all have noticed how busy some mission spots or the cheap apartments and convience spots can be and tend to be the places where a lot of the assholes on the maps tend to hang out to get easy kills of people coming and going.

I had one of these people who for no reason just started following me trying to kill me over and over costing me money. I called him asking him what the deal was and told me, "it's my game style". Convinced he was just going to keep doing it, I put a bounty on his head for $10,000 and told everyone in the room how much the bounty was for on him. LMAO, well then every person in the room began chasing him down killing him. He messaged me apologizing and I told him "it's cool, it's my game style."

Then I noticed he was driving a modded up Vette he put a lot of money into. Then I followed him from a distance while he was driving to stores to rob them. He was in the very far north end of the map when I got an idea. I couldn't steal his car cuz the game won't let you. He didn't notice I was following him, so when he went into the store I drove up, threw a sticky bomb on his car and got back in my car. After robbing the store, he comes running out, jumps in his car and takes off. I followed him down the highway while he's running from the cops and shooting at them. He had at least 4 stars with the copters after him too. He runs off the road, crashing into a roadblock. There must have been 6 or 7 cop cars around him when I hit the button -- BOOOM!! ALL the cars blew up. It was fuckin hilarious!

I did it two more times. After that he seemed understandably hesititant about getting into a car. lmao!

Since this thread has slowed down. I'm sure most of you have seen this but if not:

Also, I managed to entertain myself for a few hours the other night on single player. Since I beat the main storyline I went ahead and checked out the cheats. Using "slo mo aim" level 2, explosive bullets, and the temporary invincibility: I ran down the highway that goes out to the desert area with an automatic shotgun keeping aim on the whole time shooting cars as they drive by. Eventually you get 4-5 stars and as vehicles haul ass towards you, you shoot them with the shotgun and watch as they explode or fly up in the air and flip over your head in slow motion while people are flying all over the place. It was pretty awesome and I probably just kept doing that for at least an hour!
