Finished the main story tonight, and I can't wait until we can start talking about ending spoilers because there's some shit i need to get off my chest with two of the last missions. holy shit.
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Sunday, 6 October 2013 23:13 (ten years ago) link
i also finished it tonight. and i'm pissed because i hit the WRONG FUCKING BUTTON when offered a major choice that determines the end of the story. oh well.

Can I talk about the hipster convo yet?
― taxi tomato or bag tomato (Trayce), Monday, 7 October 2013 00:05 (ten years ago) link
ugh, which one?
― reckless woo (Z S), Monday, 7 October 2013 00:07 (ten years ago) link
or the mission?
no the convo where michael accuses trevor of it. Died laughing at that.
― taxi tomato or bag tomato (Trayce), Monday, 7 October 2013 00:16 (ten years ago) link
oh yeah, forgot about that! that was pretty great. later in the game i gave trevor a buzzcut on the southern hemisphere of his head + a nice tanktop/shorts combo. have to admit he was ready to roll into brooklyn

Maybe we should have a separate thread where people who have finished the story can discuss spoilerrific topics?

^ good that
― NI, Monday, 7 October 2013 12:22 (ten years ago) link
can you do another one filling up the tunnel with cars and sticking a couple of trucks and buses at the entrance? wonder if that train can be derailed
― NI, Monday, 7 October 2013 12:23 (ten years ago) link
loads of remote controlled bombs in the tunnel too, so if the train does break through you can run to the opening and watch as you set them off
― NI, Monday, 7 October 2013 12:42 (ten years ago) link
nice video. Just kind of proves that cars can't break in two. I have a feeling anything you put in the tunnel will just get pushed out the other end.

i cant go online (might do if it/when it goes cheap for ps3) but could you feasibly arrange a gang of mates to go round fetching cars and sticking them in the opening for the tunnel? completely fill it with cars and remote bombs and then stand back and wait. i'd love to see that. see how much it takes to derail that damn train - should hopefully be a knock-on effect and all subsequent trains will be blitzed too

Isn't GTA Online free?

Definitely getting what you pay for lately.
― pplains, Monday, 7 October 2013 21:26 (ten years ago) link
It's a free add-on to a game you paid $60 bucks for, so it's not free-free.
I haven't played the story mode since online launched.

NI, there is the option of cheat spawning in vehicles
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 00:05 (ten years ago) link
ste, what's that? you mean you can stand in a tunnel and make a hundred cars pile up? i'd do this myself in story mode but i know some pro gta5 guy can make a much better video (the one linked above with the guy driving over mountains lobbing bombs at helicopters was superb, much better than a 'video of a guy playing a game' has any right to be)
(i can't play this on my xbox because my xbox is, uh, not able to go online so im gona hang on for like 18 months til its cheap 2nd hand for ps3 and play it online on that)
but yeah, more videos of mad shit please!

flight school :(
specifically the land on a moving vehicle thing. i need to do that really?
― socki (s1ocki), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 04:28 (ten years ago) link
i played this for hours today and all i did was moving shipping crates around with a truck and go to dumb flight school
honestly so much of this game seems to be make-work to draw out the playing time. i find it grim
the crates/flight school period is the last uneventful but before the game gets really good imo
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 October 2013 05:07 (ten years ago) link
but then again i thought flight school was kind of a blast
uneventful bit*
skydiving on the truck wasn't as hard as landing on the highway bridge. that's one of those i hit silver on the first try and then couldn't even complete again.
― goole, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 12:52 (ten years ago) link
I barrelled through the story without getting sidetracked and I regret not letting the world ~unfold~. I own some nice cars and I drive them around. Any recommended side-missions? Right now I'm Trevor chasing down celebrities for knick-knacks and taking poor souls up north if you know what I mean
― you and me against the board (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 13:48 (ten years ago) link
Recommend doing the drug drop stuff at Trevs airfield.
keep doing the 'taking poor souls' stuff
do all the random encounters, there's some really interesting ones amongst the mundane 'bring back a stolen vehicle' ones.
have you browsed the epsilon web site yet? As Michael if you go onto their site it starts some missions.
The hunting was more interesting that I expected, well it was at least better than the Cletus initiation.
buy the property, they will give you missions. Yeah mostly samey delivery stuff but if you just like being kept busy
goole, yeah that landing on a bridge was brutal for me too. I just kept repeating it (which felt like forever) until I lucked out with a gold.Still haven't returned to retry those chopper time races though, eurgh.
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 14:02 (ten years ago) link
and those parachute jumps are pretty good, but landing is a fucking nightmare for me.

flying is impossible out of first-person view
― goole, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 14:05 (ten years ago) link
And I purchased the hangar and now it lets me into the airport without cops all over my ass. Which is cool and one thing I hated about IV.
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 14:06 (ten years ago) link
I like the nice touch that you can still see the other characters wandering about the game.
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 14:12 (ten years ago) link
I'm not too bad in third person, but with some of the combat jets and choppers they have a decent HUD.
one trevor mission had me flying out over the sea at night in the rain. Just could not see the horizon or how far the sea was, unless lightening flashed. Very cool.
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 14:15 (ten years ago) link
I did a couple Epsilon missions but the "bring us these cars!" mission is not my idea of fun. Will definitely do flight school and parachuting missions tho

I spent two hours online last night, working to get my ranking up from 5 to 7.
There's such a different vibe to it. I got spawned outside of the laboratories northeast of town in the desert. As I was running up the road looking for a car, I could hear the gamers on their head sets and thought, I could be shot by a sniper at any moment!

the thing about the parachute mission is that you can barely see the target on account of the big ol parachute

On level 15 of online I finally unlocked Survival modes, which are basically horde modes (my favorite kind of multiplayer mode). One thing that's interesting about the online is that so much of it stuff is initially hidden from you until you unlock it. Also I like that you can bookmark particular levels/missions that you like and make playlists of them.
Last night I found myself in a group with some dudes who had maybe hacked the game or something... we kept doing this easy mission over and over again and it was worth 9k each time. But then some guy started observing us and suddenly we couldn't restart it anymore. Bummer. But I made a lot of quick cash!

BRAINSTORM:
can you double up your insider trading take on the assassination missions? ie you ride the competitor stock up to its scripted amount of +50% THEN buy up the damaged stock at its scripted bottom and wait for it to come back to average (does this even happen?)
