no skip-to-sandbox code unfortunately.
there is so much dope shit about this game, i wish rockstar would hire a good writer.

There are def some terrible dadjoke things in there. Certain scene with Franklin and a talking dog comes to mind.

think shooting rabbits is more my speed than pulling out teeth.
Plenty of animals to kill up north.
In GTA 4 you could play in sandbox mode over xb live, so I'm sure this will be an option eventually.

bloody flight school. Anyone know the secret to getting gold in the 'land on a bridge' ? I can't see what I'm doing wrong, it keeps giving me silver medal.
love the music scores when doing some of the missions, fits perfectly.
and that trevor ball bag scene, i just happen to be using Trevor with no top on so he was totally naked. not pretty, but fucking hilarious.

want to play this so bad that i think reality is warping around me, on friday i walked into a bar and the music was 1/4 into 'across the tracks' exactly like when you go into woozie's casino in san andreas
worst thing was i didnt even fully apprehend it at first, just that my strolling in felt all too natural

'cross the track' even

is there a way to check what track is playing? or do i just have to cycle through all the radio stations until i get back to the one i'm on?

is there a cheat code to skip all the story bullshit and have everything unlocked so i can do the fun part of the game?
Yeah pretty sure there's a sandbox mode when MP starts up-- but the whole map is unlocked right from the beginning, and you don't have to play that much for all the minigames to get unlocked.
Is this the first GTA in a long time where the minigames seem like they'll be worth playing in their own right? I played 9 holes of golf yesterday--aside from the fact that there's only those 9 holes to play, it's just as deep and satisfying as playing Tiger Woods-- more kinda since you can walk from shot to shot, something I've always wanted to do in a golf game-- and you can beat freak out after you miss a two-foot putt and beat your golf club against a tree or pour gas all over the green and set it on fire, a mechanic conspicuously absent from most golfing video games
hold down L on the d-pad and it brings up a radio selection wheel which will show you the current track.

i agree. in theory adding more was the right thing to do, but they have sometimes added too many, sometimes just in the wrong place. not a big deal, but occasionally noticeable.

After just under a week of solidly playing it I'm still discovering new bits and pieces. Who knew there was a racing track? Completely deserted though - as was the 'Vinewood Bowl - I wonder if these little unused places will feature in a mission, or are they just superfluous, but nice, detail?
― hewing to the status quo with great zealotry (DavidM), Sunday, 22 September 2013 18:35 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I think it's basically a certainty that it's getting robbed. What would be REALLY cool is if you rob it during a horse race.
― polyphonic, Sunday, 22 September 2013 18:39 (ten years ago) link
paleto bay heist was p.good. game can feel like it's on rails at times during the missions but they give you just ~enough~ control to undermine that
FIB stealing all my cash is some bullshit though. when can I earn some serious money
― cozen, Sunday, 22 September 2013 20:31 (ten years ago) link
dunno if i'm on early hype but this feels easily the best gta ever, and i loved iv (which i know people hated) but also all gtas. every element is so intensely there, and there's no real effort to get into it. personally i enjoy tatting trevor all over with "fuck cops" etc and then getting a huge beard/mullet/wraparounds, pluis beyond all this the screwing around is amazing. and the music is an incredible selection, whatever station you put on you're either hearing old classics or discovering stuff you never knew about.
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Sunday, 22 September 2013 20:41 (ten years ago) link
This is my favourite GTA, definitely
But: my favourite GTA soundtrack was GTA 3. The off-track Moroder, the opera hits, the game-specific pop stuff and I'd never heard any of the other tracks anywhere else before or since. I dunno, I preferred it when the music contributed to the world-in-a-bottle rather than hearing Rihanna or Stardust on licence.
― flamboyant goon tie included, Sunday, 22 September 2013 20:56 (ten years ago) link
Oh yeah, I forgot to say. Before this came out I was hoping you would be able to ride horses in the countryside, a la RDR. Obviously not, and fair enough, but seeing the racing track makes me wish there had at least been a side game where you could enter a horse race.
― hewing to the status quo with great zealotry (DavidM), Sunday, 22 September 2013 21:18 (ten years ago) link
just done the laslo mission and god the writing is so bad it's shameful. can see the cogs turning, "now we have to make this plot development happen so lets do it in the most simplistic 101 dumbfuck hackneyed way possible". also getting hugely bored of the exposition car journeys. on the other hand lamar is a great and genuinely funny character. also lold at that wade guy a bit, esp the "i just want to be wade" line
― NI, Sunday, 22 September 2013 21:28 (ten years ago) link
gotta say i quite like the trevor stuff, it's moronic but it has no pretensions otherwise. plus i got him a "fuck the cops" tattoo on his midriff and ran around killing people with just y-fronts and a camo waistcoat on, after getting him a nice mullet/massivebeard look going on.

when thinking fashion never forget ammu nation
and yeah it's impressive and great and everything but as far as a huge leap forward it's not that much different from gta4 in how it looks and works. story is more fun but that's not saying much. the difference from vice city/san andreas to gta4 was pretty huge, but this just feels a bit more polished than the last one.
― NI, Sunday, 22 September 2013 21:33 (ten years ago) link
dunno, for me the actual gameplay is just so much deeper. it really is way more inside my mind than other gtas.
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Sunday, 22 September 2013 21:43 (ten years ago) link
i suppose there was a period of time before this game came out that you could pick up a ps3 for cheap, sigh
― 乒乓, Sunday, 22 September 2013 21:44 (ten years ago) link
I think its a huge leap from GTAIV, yeah visually it has a similar feel but they've improved so much. It's basically everything that was great about San Andreas with the pretty graphics from IV.

Echoing that Trevor is the most fun to play, feels the most appropriate for a gta game. I like to think of him as the gta III protagonist , a lot older, and with a voice.
― More Than a Century With the Polaris Emblem (calstars), Monday, 23 September 2013 02:20 (ten years ago) link
I haven't been paying attention to "bad writing" because I haven't played a game with good writing. I have laughed a couple times (mostly Lamar).
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 23 September 2013 02:24 (ten years ago) link
Also, realizing that Trevor is actually psycho and not just krazee has been real cool. Weird how all these American games over the last few years have done this thing where they make you realize the good guy protagonist is actually a crazy armed psycho

One that's meant to have a fairly high success rate sees you delete all game data, clear your system cache three times then delete marketplace data from storage system items before unplugging your console for three minutes. After this, you should install disc 1 and power off without inserting disc 2, then restart the console and install the second disc.
then stand on your head and hold your nose and drink water from the far side of the glass while clicking your heels together three times

hahaha
has anyone bought property? none of them seem that i've seen worth it at this point. like the Car Scrapyard is $275,000, and it provides a weekly income of "$150 per destroyed car". so...i guess if that means if I destroy 10 cars it'll pay $1500 a week? And then it'll take 183 "weeks" (275K/1.5K) to pay off the purchase? i guess i could take in 50 cars to bump the weekly income to $7500 a week. but still. that's a lot of time invested in the boring task of bringing cars to an out of the way property.
the others that i've seen seem similarly crappy. is there a good deal that i'm missing?

the first heist brings in a good amount of money and it's not too far in if you concentrate on the story missions, so if you're in need of $$ you might want to just progress the story that far
