You can retry every mission in the game, gooley

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.

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

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

i see that i am the only fool in the ilg crew to finish flight school so far

do i have to do anything special to get GTA5 stuff to show up in social club?

lol i'm just going to stop asking dum questions, n/m

1. Wait for GTA5 online to go live.

fuck a helicopter controls

cozen, Monday, 23 September 2013 21:19 (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?

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.

anyone got any advice for the helicopter controls? confusing as all hell

NI, Monday, 23 September 2013 23:13 (ten years ago) link

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?

a seagull flew into my chopper blades, haha

prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Monday, 23 September 2013 23:26 (ten years ago) link

hmmm, when i checked the high scores for the last stage of flight school, i was the only one listed from ilg crew. but then again, i've been having persistent issues with connecting online and submitting scores, so it probably just fucked up.

Z S, Monday, 23 September 2013 23:28 (ten years ago) link

i only signed into the crew tonight tbf

Left stick to go forward or backward, bumpers to turn, triggers to accelerate and decelerate.

ugh, pro tip - if you haven't done flight school yet, wait until you're forced to do so as michael by a mission. i just wasted a bunch of time doing it as trevor, only to be forced to do it again an hour later.

for fucks sake. next thing someone will tell me i need to do all the mind-numbing tow truck missions as each character in turn

"each character has to spend 6 hours throwing a ball for that dog"

NI, Monday, 23 September 2013 23:54 (ten years ago) link

have to admit the little bugs are really annoying me. "climb onto the sub to enter it". *climbs onto sub. nothing happens* 10 minutes elapse with me swimming around sub and on top of it and beneath it.

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:00 (ten years ago) link

uh oh, i've killed myself and tried two additional times with no luck. has anyone been able to enter the sub in the mission before one of the heists? did you just stand on top of it?

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:04 (ten years ago) link

Not before the heists, but it worked fine when I did it for the heist.

polyphonic, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:06 (ten years ago) link

well, i mean it's one of the missions just before the heist - it's like "go steal this sub in order to do the heist".

weird.

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:11 (ten years ago) link

i...had to press the enter vehicle button

GODDAMMIT

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:17 (ten years ago) link

pro tip - try to be like a pro

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:18 (ten years ago) link

haha keep us updated with all your mishaps, im totally learning from the mistakes of my forefatherzs (thankfully i quit flying school after spending 40 minutes getting a damn bronze on that shitty helicopter mission so my time wasted isn't so bad)

NI, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:26 (ten years ago) link

i'm thinking you don't HAVE to do flying school as Michael. but he's part of the heist, and i'm guessing that he'll be flying for some reason (even though trevor is the one that is good at flying), so the better he is at flying, the better the mission will go.

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:27 (ten years ago) link

i attempted a stunt jump at the airport, and ended up with my car wedged about 50 feet high in the middle of some weird triangular sign. ...i don't think i can get down without dying. perhaps i should try calling for a cab for the first time.

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:32 (ten years ago) link

i died

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:32 (ten years ago) link

ah hang on, so it's not a specific part of the story mission to put michael through the agony of flying school? if i can skip all that crap that'd please me no end.

NI, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:34 (ten years ago) link

well, trevor is like "hey michael, i'm about to do this heist. you should DEFINITELY DO FLYING SCHOOL. i will eat you if you don't. you should do flying school, michael, before this mission", and then he texts you saying "hey michael, trevor again, just reminding you to go to flying school before this heist. just saying, your pal, trevor"

i still haven't tried the heist because i'm busy making an ass of myself in the nearby trees

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:37 (ten years ago) link

I think I only did about half the flying school as Michael and they let the heist go ahead.

prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 00:58 (ten years ago) link

It says that I'm at 52% but I feel like I'm almost done.

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 02:22 (ten years ago) link

it's jarring to see the GTA5 ads that feature a relatively clean-shaven Michael. i gave him a gigantic beard as soon as possible for some reason, and he looks kind of like the doctor guy on Lost, Jack Shephard, in the final seasons of the show when he was bummed and drunk and became a beardo.

Z S, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 13:19 (ten years ago) link

this game is

apparently it gets even better still after >70%

cozen, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 14:54 (ten years ago) link

Haha I made all of them as beardy & long-haired as possible, as soon as possible, its esp weird seeing a clean shaven/un-afro'ed Franklin advertisement cos you realize he doesn't look just like Ice Cube

I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 14:55 (ten years ago) link

same. i have trev running around in a camo vest and no pants, with tattoos everywhere, big wraparound shades, and the mullet/beard combo.

Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:06 (ten years ago) link

how do you...take your pants off...?

random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:10 (ten years ago) link

i've gone for kind of short shorts, i dunno if you can actually select no pants, like you can't make them naked i assume but if you get a tattoo on the legs it shows him in his y-fronts etc, so presumably you can select that if you... so wish.

Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:14 (ten years ago) link

lol i fucked up the 'construction accident' random event. sorry man.

goole, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:16 (ten years ago) link

i've stayed away from random events after i attempted to help a damsel in distress and her and her pals, who were waiting around the corner, made swiss cheese of me.

Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:18 (ten years ago) link

I like how these games seem to always have pretty good, convincing voice actors you've never heard of as opposed to all those Steve blum cam clarke motherfuckers who shit up every other game with the one contextually inappropriate voice they can do

random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link

I'm jim cornette and that's my opinion

random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link

trevor often wakes up naked from a bender when you switch to him

I've got him in pants, beard & F U C K C O P S combo now too

cozen, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 15:55 (ten years ago) link

F U C K C O P S is essential tatting.

Wish you could customise the tattoos further, a swearword on his forehead would be ideal.

Haha, I got lucky and had my shotgun out when that chick tried to lure me into an ambush. Definitely changed my opinion of random events afterwards at any rate.
