one annoyance: being risk averse and not greedy, i picked the best hired crew people. after the heist i get told that crew members get better, but their cut doesn't increase. shit.

sorry, that's kind of spoilery. tip, tho
Definitely recommend not investing in LifeInvader after the CEO's speech! That shit bottoms out hard.
totally. the good news is that at the time that i invested in it, i only had about $10K total, and invested half of it in lifeinvader. shortly thereafter if i finished the first heist and had much, much more $. so no big deal.
later on there's a mission that has a very tangible effect on the stock market, and they let you know that before you finish so you can invest.

xp wellll...i would say from experience, also not wanting to be too spoilery, but it doesn't always quite work out the way you are figuring.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 26 September 2013 19:26 (ten years ago) link
well i don't doubt that the cheaper hires perform materially worse but eh, maybe that would have been more fun anyway!

how do i start these maude missions? getting texts from her giving me grief over it but no sign of a marker. am i meant to work out the location from the little crummy picture she shows me?
― NI, Thursday, 26 September 2013 19:43 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, the picture is the clue. I looked up the first one online after puzzling over it for awhile. No idea where the second one is.

sack that, i'm not playing an glacial-speed murder mystery here. rockstar with more of their "lets plonk a really tedious dullhump into the middle of the fun" trickery. do you have a link - or even a decent clue - to where to find em?

people online have billions due to stockmarket o_O
think there's some ppl trying to game the BAWSAQ market too

pretty naked lift of some of the wilderness shit from red dead. instead of skinning you take a pic and send it to your bud, tho, ha
― goole, Thursday, 26 September 2013 20:53 (ten years ago) link
now I've finished this might sell it for basically full RRP and pick up red dead
will it still be playable post-GTAV
― cozen, Thursday, 26 September 2013 21:38 (ten years ago) link
aren't you curious about the online mode?

I hated Red Dead. Boring shit.

until everyone turned into zombies, which was actually super fun.

The last 25% of that game (pre zombies) is pretty dang unique and cool

Yeah Red Dead multiplayer is the only reason I'm excited about GTA online.

most disturbing trevor switch for me. waking up in a bed, next to a man dressed in some pink outfit, sobbing.
Hahah bloody hell. Once in N's game Trevor woke up on the side of a mountain, wearing a dress and shoes and long socks, muttering about being buggered by aliens.

damn
so many more cars as you gradually progess in this game.
I can't afford any of the properties, I really need to work out how to use the stock stuff. I did get a tip from a random stranger, but the market he mentioned didn't even exist!

try buying some HAL, that's the stock ppl are gaming

The Tinkle stock the airport guy mentions is only on the bawsaq, which only works when you're signed in to the social club
― random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Friday, 27 September 2013 09:39 (ten years ago) link
No internet on my Xbox means I'm getting shafted with the stock market atm because both of the assassination missions I've done as Franklin for Lester (where he tells you what to invest in to make big money immediately after the hit) are related to stocks on the Bawsaq market.

it's going to be really interesting to watch how bawsaq moves, and on what inputs.
everybody on ilx is always complaining abt reddit
just pumped 20mil into pisswasser

not to get into WoW territory here, since idk anything about it, the whole concept of a fake economy is sort of fascinating. esp one that's subject to organized manipulation.

that first mission with michael/trevor/franklin together made me like this game again. super awesome especially for a series that is not exactly known for good mission design
― adam, Friday, 27 September 2013 15:00 (ten years ago) link
while not without occasional misfires, improved mission design and integration into the flow of the game are the biggest reasons V is so good.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 27 September 2013 15:20 (ten years ago) link
The mission design is awesome. The only two missions I haven't immediately wanted to play a second time were the yoga one and the big rig+stolen cars one.
My personal favourite so far is Trevor chasing the burning plane on a bike

Pitchfork: And you actually appear in the game.FL: I'm in the game!Pitchfork: How did that happen?FL: I was in the right place at the right time. They were wrapping up some scenes in the game, and I was in New York, and they found a part for me that's in the story. I play some gangsta-ass motherfucka from the hood [laughs], and there's a scene where I'm playing basketball. When I recorded my lines, they had this headset that they put on you to capture all your facial features and everything, so they got my face. It's super weird. That's another reason why I wanna beat the game, so I can see how I'm represented in polygons.'

I haven't played this yet, but the mission design is better? And yet the game is super easy? Those seem kind of contradictory.
