Its so easy to get sucked in the Taxi stuff. Its nice to drive people around the map and kill the odd one.

The taxi driving missions are class!I only kill passengers though when they try to rob me.:pac: I dropped a passenger off last night and next thing this fella opens up the door and drags me out of the car.I pointed my gun at him but the he then pulls out a gun and starts shooting at me.Then a second fella starts firing at me.It was an ambush!I've had passengers that tried to rob me before but that's the first time that some people came out of nowhere to try and gun me down for the takings from my taxi missions.

i found a list of all the things for gold online but its just so annoying having to re-doo all of them..i failed a mission because i died udring it and had to checkpoint..meaning i had to either die or complete it and then re start it...so frustrating..

In fairness, that's why they're gold medals. You can redo any mission from the menu once you've finished it anyway. To be honest, a lot of people complained about a similar system in the last few Assassins Creed games, where it gave you an extra thing to do to get 100% in the mission. It meant people straight away were changing how they wanted to do the mission in order to try and get the 100%. My advice would be to just play through the missions normally without aiming for gold, and then go back and replay missions to go for the gold. You'll have more fun on your playthrough, and you'll be more experienced at the game when you go back to do it the second time round so it should be easier (and you can see what the gold requirements are when selecting to replay a mission so you'll know what you need to do too)

One I thought was very funny was some guy

used a stun gun on Franklin and the screen went black, and then he woke up in his boxers lying on the train tracks.

That one happened to me with Trevor! Right beside the desert airstrip.

Another random encounter with Trevor that happened earlier outside Paleto Bay,

I stumbled across two lads with a women tied up, digging a hole to bury her alive. I killed the two of them and gave her a lift back to Vinewood. She goes on to say shes the daughter of a big mafia guy and after I dropped her off I was wired $60k! I was very nearly bringing her to the cult aswell!

Doing the kifflom missions now. Anyone finish them? If so

Do i really have to walk 5 miles through the ****ing desert?

Yes.

If your stamina is at maximum, just sprint. It still takes a good few minutes, but running/sprinting counts as walking and will get you done quicker. Once your stamina is maxed out you'll no longer lose health if you sprint for too long.

Lol has anyone done Franklin's strangers and freaks missions out in the desert with

the dog?
"what's that boy? there's a guy stuck in a tree?"
"woof"
"and he jumped out a ****ing helicopter?"
"woof"

I lol'ed hard

Burst out laughing at that scene too, hope theres a part 2 somewhere Some of Franklins dialogue has been hilarious . When he meets Michael near the start:

Michael: You should be trying to impress me
Franklin: Why would I need to impress some slipper wearing mother****er?

krudler

If you want hilarity play as Trevor and ring Lamar for a hangout, their dialogue is brilliant.

The voice acting and line delivery is superb throughout, one of the few games I've genuinely burst out laughing dozens of times playing. Even stuff like Trevor chasing the train "choooo choooo!" or him dropping Tricia home "you better fcuking treat her right! or, orr...arrgghhh!"

johndoe99

just finished the last heist, just one final mission to see the ending, but i'll leave that till my brain is fresh tomorrow.

Varik

Just repeated a mission and the first time I managed an 80% but missed a really cool part so I redid it, the next time I avoided something and got an 88% but as I've now completed all requirements over both tries it counts as 100%.

Maybe it's not for all missions but it makes it a bit easier if you don't need to do everything on one attempt.

My other xbox controller has a broken left stick that constantly sticks forward. Iv never been so happy to have it, saved me the tedious effort

Yeah I went to the strip club as Trevor with Lamar once, it was gas altogether. I love playing as Trevor, he's just hilarious! From the cutscenes to missions to even random things he says to pedestrians, the stuff he comes out with is pure gold! I can't remember if I've ever actually laughed out loud playing a game, but I've done it several times with this.

Zero-Cool

Just finished Paleto Bay Heist. Epic is a word that comes to mind but what made it even sweeter is is my unlockable crew member

Packie

(GTA IV character that you find at a random event)

On the way to the heist, he tells of the

bank job in Liberty City, his brothers dying and Niko who is probably dead.

Was brilliant, gonna use him every heist I can.

Sickened about the lousy cut though.

shrewdness

I've heard alot now about how you meet

Packie

and can use him in the heists, but I'm a good bit through the story and still haven't seen him. Where do you find him or is it random?

Zero-Cool

I found him as Franklin. Blue dot appeared and i was 2 guys robbing a laundrymat and needed a getaway driver. Not sure of exact location, gogle might have it tho.

unkymo

I had 12 missions left in the story and decided to finish it this evening.

4 hours later I had ended up doing just 2.

I spent the whole evening doing side missions.

Met the bloke with the strong weed :D

It was near enough

Franklin's garage, there's a small strip mall type set up. The guy they're holding up always seemed to be an Asian dude, I wound up repeating the event twice because the first time I shot both of the robbers to save the clerk guy without even waiting for any dialogue.

I'm... not always sure I'm approaching this game as its intended, lol.

They asked and I ran them over, got the 5k they stole and regret it now as I didn't even think it was anything important.

2Mad2BeMad

anyone know why it says "OUT OF STOCK" for certain things on this game?
for example i want to buy the "Cheetah" car off the mobiles internet in the game
but it says out of stock? is this due to actual people in the real world buying this, or is this just the game telling me i havnt progressed far enough

theirs quite alot of things out of stock too, some arnt some are

I think it will keep recurring until you get it "right" anyway.

Zero-Cool

It's worth to do it again as he has the highest gunman stats of any crew members you can pick and takes a lower cut than the highest paid guy.

Zero-Cool

What an epic picture!

Bring on GTA Movie :P

Imagine Michael, Franklin and Trevor on the big screen

GTA V would make a great script for a movie.

Yeah it would but would have to be a trilogy or something and R* said they have zero interest in making GTA film. They mentioned working with Hollywood control freaks trying to change your product, I'm guessing they were talking about the Max Payne film.

Also, I want to go for pints with Steven Ogg.

humanji

In fairness, a lot of it is stolen from movies anyway.

wnolan1992

I'd love to see the movie where the main protagonist stops midway through and just drives around listening to the radio for an hour an a half.

Or a movie where they spend thirty minutes trying to pick out a nice shirt in Suburban.

Or a movie where they spend an hour in a strip club trying to get the touchy minigame right...


:pac:

KwackerJack

Ill be happy when they release pack so the trio can heist again :P

I know you can meet up for drinks etc and there's lots of side missions bur the game feels as if there something missing when all 3 don't get together anymore!

Hmm....maybe i need to see Michaels shrink :P

KwackerJack

Just got pulled out of my car by a tranny and Franklin shot him, her eh whatever!

Go look at the signage outside Pitchers bar.

Behind Lesters factory on the freeway there is a billboard with what appears to be a guy hanging off it(chocolate bar ad), is it just that one or are there more weird ads I've not noticed?:eek:
