which city for GTA 5?

I give the money back to the player

lol i couldn't figure out how to do this. i was in a session that dwindled down to just me an another dude at like level 4. we did this one mission over a couple times (he died a bit) and when it was done he texted me 'thx 4 the help'. i wanted to give him, like, a hundred million dollars or something. but i couldn't figure it out.

like, i just figured out there's a quick menu if you hold down select

It used to work all the time, but since the hacking, much of it has been disabled. I was surprised to see it functioning after that "mission".

So many things in that menu – nearest landmarks, player action, inventory, passive mode. Hell, now that I'm rich, I've been blowing my brains apart in the middle of every crowded intersection I find myself in.

the panic exuded from these guys is sort of cute

meanwhile in single player...

Came across about 6 stunt jumps all within spitting distance of each other.

doing stunt jumps with Franklins special ability and driving a supercar can be INSANE!

i'm going through single player quite slowly cause i don't have much time to play.

i bought the airfield right off the bat. was that dumb?

do i need to think about spreading my playing time around between the three characters in order to level them up?

i hate the dog, and the app. i never want to think about them again.

the mission that starts with the sniper rifle and ends with trevor flying the plane is crazy fun. i love all trevor's countryside missions.

i bought the airfield right off the bat. was that dumb?

i think of all the properties it's one of the ones that makes its money back the fastest (if you put in the work) so no

ok good! i like flying, so it seemed like a good idea. landing is a bitch, though. for some reason my landing gear has a mind of its own, just folds up by itself, unfolds by itself, not sure what the deal is there.

do the drug drops get progressively harder? first one was easy, second one less so.

i was tempted to buy the junkyard as michael, but wasn't sure exactly how it would bring in money. $150 per smashed car? does that mean i have to go around smashing cars on purpose? seems like small potatoes anyway.

I've managed to safely avoid the dog through pretty much all the game.

I think I should have bought the golf course when i came into big money first, then I would have been able to use the weekly earnings I think to buy everywhere else. As it is, looks like that golf course is going to stay unpurchased for a while :(

I wouldn't worry about levelling up, I turned a blind eye and managed to get along just fine.

pimping out the rides is my current fetish. One of the pick up trucks you can do crazy chassis changes with.

I don't seem to get anything from that scrapyard, do the cars have to be completely destroyed. and my michael himself?

'by' michael. typing in the dark sorry

i bought a different apartment online, one closer to an LS customs. i love the racing, and like to keep my cars up to date.

turns out, it's the same apartment.

also the airfield missions are great fun xxxxp

apparently the junkyard gives its owner $150 bucks whenever any character destroys any vehicle. interesting but not really worth the work

would it surprise you to learn someone has done the math

xp

yeah seems a bit lame, because if you destroy vehicles you'll inevitably attract the fuzz so that'll cost you £5000 in hospital fees. So to make it worthwhile you'd have to destroy well over 30 vehicles before you face death.

I do enjoy the random cab missions that they throw at you though.

it is my ambition to do the prank where you load the simeon car up with sticky bombs and leave it for someone else to take, as nv described above.

@aconley: I realy enjoyed it at the beginning, got a nice house, all expensive cars but it takes away the challange to give it all and take the bounties that we can get and all the missions we do to get it.now i am a rich idiot sitting all the time in my car cruising around LS. i want my i atleast would like to keep like 1 million because there are people blowing up my stuff and for some reason they don't need to charge for it.

^^^ feelin the ennui

i'd pay people $1mil each to stay in a lobby to do some of the races & missions. some of these i've never seen done. idgi.

has anyone ever done a parachute jump.

i've done tonnes! there are people who are deep into them, if i've ever done one i've got to do a bunch in a go. if we're ever on gta at the same time gooole hit me up and we can jump.

right on :)

i feel like i must be wired up differently than the average player. i like having something to do, and running around the freeroam map capping whoever comes around seems super dull to me. people must want those pink guns huh.

i haven't modified any of the cars yet. they tell you that if you park a car in your "garage" you'll get to keep it forever. so i kept parking cars in my characters' garages. at their homes. you know, michael's garage. franklin's garage. they'd just disappear. finally i realized they were talking about this other garage across town. AAARGH.

so now i have a few pretty fast cars saved in there, a couple of porsche types cars.

off topic, i LOVE the port. it feels so real.

another little note in my head, you can totally tell that british people wrote the script. there are these little britishisms that creep in, stuff like "fuck all"; it's weird to me that the voice actors didn't speak up about that stuff.

Part of GTA's charm has always been this cartoon USA with this Britishes glow shining through it from behind the curtain.... Kinda like ILX, actually.

it is my ambition to do the prank where you load the simeon car up with sticky bombs and leave it for someone else to take, as nv described above.

You don't even have to use the stickies. Take it into a mod shop and put the explosives on in there. That way you won't have to manually fire the bomb to go off and who ever gets in won't ever see it coming.

These forum people... there's just this world of panicky people who have no business playing video games. Crying because the game's been ruined with all the money. You still have to rank up! I'm so tired of getting shot by people with bigger weapons than me, there's my motivation to get past the 60s. Better missions that open up. The money was always weird anyway. $620 for a t-shirt?

I get tripped out by all of these role-players. "Join my crew, we all wear police outfits and ride around on CHiPs motorcycles!" Or the weird thread I read about this crew that basically puts on "Our Town" every Thursday night. One crewmember on a recruiting thread once described what a newcomer would go through in his first session. "We'll have a ranked member meet you somewhere in Los Santos, fill you in on some the rules and then let you try to qualify for a few crew activities...." What the shit? No, tanks in the game are not the problem here.

I would like to find some crews since no one does missions or races anymore. I've still yet to see an ILG PS3 member live online. I put up a new emblem for us, but couldn't get it loaded into the game.

here's the link the socialclub website spit out for the race i made

let me know if you like it. or if you can even get it to show up. or if the link works.

I tried to recreate the chase scene. Don't know if this works for 360 or not. Made it on PS3.

So you can totally knock those big orange balls down from the soda stands and roll them around like they're your own little pet.

who rolls pets?

I admit, I could've phrased that better.

I must admit to finding this dude's videos quite addictive. they certainly inspire me to jump back on gta online in the hope of such yuks. but then I just get pulverised by some pwner over and over again...

Yeah, me and my buddy rolled that orange around the vineyards for a lot longer than I thought we would. I shot it down first and went chasing after it, but apparently it looked to him like it never left.

- BUDDY: It's still here, from what I can see.
- ME: What do you mean it's still up there? (Turns away from orange to see "new" orange back up on soda stand. Look back to vineyard and "old" orange is gone.)

So we were pretty pleased with ourselves when we managed to roll the orange and keep it together between us. Somehow, the authorities became involved (as they do) and even after dying, we'd respawn and celebrate that the orange was still there.

I don't know. We had been running races and staying out of freemode, but we were inspired to go back into Los Santos and look for trouble. He had bought a bright pink moped which we decided would be the perfect vehicle for some drive-by's. One guy wouldn't come out of his apartment, so we parked the moped on his porch and rang his doorbell. We were about to leave again when dude came out and shot my buddy in the chest. Knocked us both over since I was riding behind him on the moped.

Now it was on. Got into a firefight before the apartment dude raced off in a regular car. I could go on and on about it all, but it involves exchanging bullets with a limousine, said limo planting a sticky and sending us on the moped about 50 feet into the air, me grabbing the firetruck and blasting the limo driver as he came out of Ammunation and somehow killing him with water... Had the headset turned on to just me and my friend, so I don't know if they were 12-year-olds or what. To me, they were just pawns in the game, man, pawns in the game.

Anyway. Freemode was fun for once.

if you care about this kind of thing, a guy took the time to lap test every single car in the game and came up with a ranking for every class of car

helpful if you like racing, since apparently those stat bars don't mean much.

another guy found all the cars that have a lot of mod options:

Man, they add jumps and the race creator tool, and suddenly I'm obsessed with the racing again. I love so many of the races that people are making.

yeah, it's added a lot to the experience. but getting people to spontaneously coordinate to try them all is still a problem. people seem to loooove that freeway jumps race.

i've also found that the ramps don't really play well with all vehicles off-road.

my latest pet peeve: people who don't vote in lobbies. dude. let's get off this screen. thank you.

oh and i think i figured out the 'fast start' thing in races. i couldn't get it to work for anything until i had my tv turned up too loud. the 3 2 1 go! countdown has a booming noise on every count, but there's also a slight echo on each one. the trigger instant is on the final echo, not the final beat.

I somehow nailed the fast start thing on a half-dozen races in a row the other night. I don't know how, though me trying to hit that final beat after a few beers may have helped.

i don't really play gta 5 anymore - i've gone back to saints row instead :/

His character stays in passive mode, wears a “MEDIA” jacket, and travels around Los Santos in a news van.

I would blow this guy up in his little media van to Kingdom Come.

Took this one once because it kinda made me pause for a moment and just say to myself, "damn."

But then I went right back to blowing shit up.

surely you all know this but R* dropped the hammer on the money cheats. my passively acquired $1.5 billion returned to $200k. but my sweet pad, 10 tricked out cars and many boats and aircraft are still with me. rendering the game somewhat goal-less.

had a couple PP-style odd interactions, all wordless. there's a funny tension when a guy pulls up to you in his car, and you don't know, are you going to shoot me? run me down? invite me to something? this guy just kept honking til i got in. then he drove around aimlessly for a while. i shot at a few people, never enough to get more than 1 star. then he found another player standing idle. he parked, got out, drilled the guy. then he just stood there. i wondered if he was messing with the camera. the third man respawned and came back for us both. for a split second i thought, how can i explain that i wasn't responsible for his murder, but then, out came the carbine. i think by then we had attracted 2 or 3 stars, and it was kind of a shitshow after that. i was just looking for an SUV to steal, and then this.

the 'prison thugz fight' deathmatch is totally stupid and everybody loves it

"Prison Thugz Fight" a nice palate cleanser, I feel.

I never even got any of the counterfeit money but they still took all the money I earned, I guess because I had a lunar lander in my garage [which is now gone :( ]

I have now done Jumps Jumps Jumps infinity times.

they took earned money??!?!???!

Yup. I never received a dollar from anyone.

Prison Thugz seemed like a lot of fun until that asshole drove a bus in through the doors.

Oh shit you can do that?!
