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.

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?
― Z S, Monday, 23 September 2013 16:08 (ten years ago) link
the headshop by the beach brings in $9300/wk iirc

hai i've played like 4.5% but i think this is key
also when do you get money
xp ok i see haha
― goole, Monday, 23 September 2013 16:17 (ten years ago) link
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
― Z S, Monday, 23 September 2013 16:19 (ten years ago) link
Kinda surprised me actually, how much money that mission draws. I'm used to spending the large part of these games scraping along with a pistol and whatever I can collect from vanquished foes. Completed one heist mission and now my characters have got every weapon, all with a shit ton of ammo and maxed out accessories.
― Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Monday, 23 September 2013 16:22 (ten years ago) link
I blew all that money on bad investments so I'm still pissing around with pistols and bugger all ammo. :(
― JimD, Monday, 23 September 2013 17:07 (ten years ago) link
Don't make decisions based on money, but on what kind of missions you want to do. The drug running property in Sandy Shores was a no brainer. I don't care if it makes money or not. I want to fly around and distribute drugz.
― polyphonic, Monday, 23 September 2013 17:32 (ten years ago) link
Which is an argument against buying properties without missions or gameplay associated with them, I guess, but maybe you don't know that until you buy em? Do the pot stores just sit there and make money? That's kind of boring.
― polyphonic, Monday, 23 September 2013 17:38 (ten years ago) link
I keep getting messages from the headshop that they're running low on supplies but how do I trigger the missions to rectify that?

only seminoteworthy thing i've done so far: did the ? mission with franklin that's a street race. i happened to be carless at the time, so grabbed some shitbox off the street and lost. i figured it would just let me retry, but i guess it didn't. later i rolled into a custom shop, and the same character (?) sassed me for losing!
― goole, Monday, 23 September 2013 20:30 (ten years ago) link
also got a pop-up that my car god repo'd at one point but i couldn't tell wtf icon it was telling me to hit up to get it back
straight fire beautiful game tho

The Trevor missions are some seriously satisfying deathfests. Really enjoying the sniper rifle ones.
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Monday, 23 September 2013 20:43 (ten years ago) link
You can retry every mission in the game, gooley
― polyphonic, Monday, 23 September 2013 20:43 (ten years ago) link
Noticed you can skip missions if you fail them. I haven't had to yet as this game is quite easy, but I think it's a good option. Not got the time for some repeat of that dickhead with the model planes from IV.
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Monday, 23 September 2013 20:45 (ten years ago) link
lol poly clearly there's quite a bit i haven't figured out
biggest mental reorientation for me is being able to do a quicksave off your phone. in retrospect, the regular rhythm of going back home to save was a strong part of getting to know the geography in SA & IV
― goole, Monday, 23 September 2013 20:48 (ten years ago) link
If you fail the air trafficking missions there's basically no checkpoint though and you have to do the drops again
I know this because I always do the drops fine then get confused about which of the three buttons I'm supposed to be holding down to land then make an immaculately straight touchdown on the landing strip at a velocity that blows the plane sky fucking high every time

― cozen, Monday, 23 September 2013 21:19 (ten years ago) link
When the text comes through go to your map and there will be a P flashing at the place where you are supposed to go - the one time I did it, it was in the Senora desert area. Once there, you have to get in a truck and drive it to the place within an allotted time - do not crash into anything.

ZS, I finished flight school some time ago. Or do you mean all Gold, because I've only got silver in the chopper runs.
If you got all gold, what reward did you get?
