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!

The Tinkle stock the airport guy mentions is only on the bawsaq, which only works when you're signed in to the social club

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.

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.'
lol, i love that he's in the game and hasn't seen himself yet! (from earlier in the article it seems that he's at the 40% mark)

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

they're just a bit more inventive (though they do fit the standard 'go someplace - listen to some chat - go some other place - kill someone' formula) on the whole w/lots of checkpointing thrown in and there's not much model airplane-style annoying failing

To actually play the story missions using free-aim is to make GTA V ruinously difficult.

just no

I thought i'd already bought HAL but seem to have messed up a save. Finally got the mission that introduced Michael earlier this evening. I'm becoming determined that this is the first game I see through to the end. Miles behind everyone else, though.

re: lotus not finding himself in the game: i know several actors who have done voice work in GTA and have never seen themselves in game. It's a big game and rockstar doesn't even send you a copy of the game!

"So what other voice over acting have you done?"

― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Saturday, 28 September 2013 01:22 (ten years ago) link
do rockstar pay their actors well? can imagine it being like the music rights thing - heard somewhere they get a pittance, real payment is exposure to a global audience.
on another note, what's the difference between 'traditional gta' and 'assisted aiming'?

the stuff about aiming in that article above is bob on. so so frustrating, esp as the shooting range. aiming on a control pad is bleugh as it is but to not even match up to max payne 3, rdr or sc:bl is bad bad bad
