JamesMadisonSkins Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 No when you try to jump somewhere and miss and do that awkward falling animation, it makes me laugh everytime. How about the grooves in the side of the highway. Like you don't need it, but it adds so much more to the immersion. I played for the first extended time yesterday. This was one of the first things I noticed. I saw those cable cars on the map and wanted to go find them after the first couple missions as a repo guy ... I was flying on that highway and kept hitting those rumble strips weaving in and out of cars. My fiance had the same reaction she does when I'm doing that in real life ... like "can't you stay within the damn lines?!" haha Also ended up taking the cable car up ... starting the climb down and had to shoot a couple of mountain lions ... but then it took too long so I just jumped off the side of the cliff ... but the falling down the cliff was even incredibly realistic. Then I got on a cargo train and rode it around for a while shooting things as I was riding along. When I finally decided it was time to head back to do some more missions, I kept trying to steal cars, but would get a wanted star, get that bumped up to 2 stars somehow, and ending up in a shootout with cops about 3-4 times, dying, and doing it all over again to try and get back o the city. Took forever! I just completed the first mission with the two main characters together ... getting back his yacht ... I played for probably 2 hours and did like 3 missions. So addicting.

“Misdirection” Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 So where is the best place to find a fighter jet? The army base? Flew another private jet into the base and was shot down immediately. Might have to try on foot...... My roommate and I did this last night. Took us a while. What we did was grabbed an car and saved right before the gate of the base. Drove straight through the stop sign bar at the front entrance, and about halfway down the base turned right through the fence and then right again and ended up right at a fighter jet. You have to plan the route out pretty well. While all the tanks were working their way over we took the car to a complete stop, didn't bother shooting anyone, and went straight for the ****pit of the jet. You can't waste time trying to shoot anyone because by the time you kill someone, 10 more take their place. Took about 15-30 minutes, but that's the best way we could figure out how to do it.

Mr. Sinister Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Reminds me of trying to get in that base in Vice City without the cop uniform. They cut your ass in half in less than a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Are there any cheats to load up on weapons? I know that's a cop out ... but I think it would make the "running around doing random stuff" bit a lot more fun early in the game before you get all the weapons as part of the gameplay progression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I don't think it's a copout. GTA's always had cheats. They're part of the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 yeah, i think i just saw gta v cheats yesterday on faecbook or somewhere. google will be your friend i refuse to go that route until i've beaten the game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yeah I guess with google, that was a dumb question. Some of these look pretty cool. Like the helicopter. Would be neat to see the full arena before having to worry about beating the missions to open that up. I won't use the cheats to get an advantage in the game play though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 good luck, and have fun. i'm only about 9% into the game, where as a bunch of people here on ES and other forums have already beaten the game, or are at least 50% completed. i'm just about to pull off my first heist at the jewlery store this weekend. being married and being a gamer sucks sometimes.

Mr. Sinister Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm probably gonna run through Assassin's Creed before I get on GTA V. With Brotherhod, Revelations, and Black Flag, it'll probably be late November before I start playing GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I hear ya. This might actually be the last game I can fully turn my attention to. Engaged to a doctoral student ... so she studies all night ... and most of the weekend ... so I still get my "time" but with our lifestyle I have just gotten out of the habit of playing videogames. So this is the first one I've played in a while and will likely be the last one I fully commit to. The days of 5-6 hour binge playing in college are long gone. At best, I might be able to squeeze in 1-2 hours at the end of each day before bed haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacase Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 After the end of the dance you get the option to take them home. It shows up in the box in the upper left as one of the selections. I took one home yesterday and nothing happened during the drive. Maybe it is stripper specific? This is the correct information on how get a stripper GF. I dunno if it is specific to a stripper. I thought it might be how many times you go back to her. I know I would call mine after every mission and around the 3rd time I called her and saw her she started doing that. I know I know....call me an addict for calling her so much. LOL She also sends me text messages while I am playing. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesMadisonSkins Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 There are some really cool videos on youtube of people doing cool stuff. I particularly like breaking into the airport and trying to steal the dreamliner equivalent. Also ... did a triathalon yesterday ... wtf ... I think Im gonna try and go golfing tonight. This game just blows my mind. I don't really even care about the missions so much as I do about doing random stuff for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnuv Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I've just about wrapped up the 100% completion, just have to grind out collecting the notes and doing the stunt jumps and such, then I plan on starting a fresh game and so that I can do the heists a different way than I did them before. I can't wait to see the differences in the heists and collecting the "better" crew members early so I can use the same ones all game.

Golf is definitely my favorite of the mini games, especially that you have the option to walk or drive around the course instead of just teleporting to your ball by default (thankfully still an option) Just a few more days until the online launches, we still have a crew waiting for members at http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/extreme_skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 The stunt jumps in this are pissing me off. Some of them seem impossible, especially the ones in South Blaine County. Gotta have perfect landings on the tiniest of landing zones. ARGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Playing as Franklin, I'm on the mission where I have to take out 4 jurors. I got the first two, no problem. The third is located in some medical building and Lester's text says look out for dirty windows. I've got my rifle with the scope but I can't figure out where the hell I'm supposed to look to find the third juror. Can anyone help? Nevermind, found him. Took forever.

KevinthePRF Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 As with last game, I'm abusing taxis to get from place to place faster. I've finished the main story and am chipping away at sidequests. What's up with Franklin always getting a busy signal when trying to call for a cab?
