Spaceman Spiff 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! How is the "Prepare For Takeoff" car commercial ramp not a stunt jump? Do you have to clear the entire highway or something?

autoidiodyssey 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? I swear that the cabs blow Franklin off. It could be that they are full when they drive by, but I have had several not stop for Franklin. Especially in bad areas. Would Rockstar go to such a level of detail to have the cabbies not pick up the black guy in bad areas? I'm going to have to test that theory. I just beat the main story. I heard that the credits ran for 36 minutes. I didn't believe that but they have been going for at least 25 minutes and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k 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.

Took forever. it took me forever to find him as well. One time i shoot him but there was a red dot still on the screen. Time ran out . I literally killed everyone outside of the building and no luck. Tried 1 more time with a headshot of the guy on the scaffold and it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thank goodness you can skip missions, because the unintuitive controls make it very difficult to shoot and fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in other games as well as this one, I would walk away from the screen for a couple hours come back and complete it first try. But you are right it is a pain in the butt sometimes.

I don't know what the purpose of the top one is, but if you scroll down to the D's in the contacts you can properly call a taxi again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Well, when you're not being frustrated by difficult flying or the first Lost mission (managed to beat the O'Neill and 2nd Lost mission without any problem) this game can actually be pretty fun. Hilarious how they put Laslow in the game. This game is amazing, the only complaint is the controls. If you can get by that, it's an outstanding game. I just wish it was out for PC so you could actually aim. I have to use assisted aiming and even that isn't perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 My only beef controls wise is with helicopters. They're a pain in the ass. Planes aren't as bad once you get used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinthePRF Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Strange....glitch? I think there is an achievement that states, lose three stars with all three players together. So I've tried to get the three together. I got Michael and Trevor hanging out, but it wouldn't let me switch to Franklin. I separated Michael and Trevor but put them in proximity with each other, then got Franklin on the same block. When all three were together on the corner, Trevor turns and "wastes" Franklin via head butt. I'm guessing this achievement means something else.... If you purchased Downtown Cab Company, you will end up with two contacts in the phone.

My only beef controls wise is with helicopters. They're a pain in the ass. Planes aren't as bad once you get used to them. It's because the pitch is much more touchy than in GTA IV.

You have to call both friends and ask them to hang out before you pick either one up. Another mechanic that's not very intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I just finished the first heist and a couple missions with the Meth dude in the desert. Pretty amazing. I'm only 14-15% through the game but I'm probably going to spend tonight getting through some missions so I can have access back to Franklin and Michael again ... and get PAID for that first heist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Finally beat the main story over the weekend, awesome, awesome game! Anyway, exploring with Franklin, I found a piece of a confession letter (at the very top of the crane on that building under construction - takes about an half hour to climb up, lol.) Piece 1 of 50 or something like that. Anyone know what mission this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piece 1 of 50 or something like that. Anyone know what mission this is? That is one of the many "Find x number of things" tasks. Early in the game I heard a news report about an unsolved murder, I think the letter ties into that. There is one to find 50 parts of a crashed space ship and another to find 50 pieces of nuclear waste in the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmonkforHOF Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 only got 5 story missions left to do, set up for the big heist is the next one. I too am saving the missions for later and focusing in on 100% completion, so that when I finish the story, I will be 100% complete. I am now fiding letters, stunt jumps & spaceship parts- BTW submarine parts are not needed for 100%. Ran into a little glitch that was easily fixed-or so I think so. Before you start Lamar Down, make sure Franklin has at least $1,000 in cash on him. when the mission ends, Lamar asks you for some cash, you give it to him (he whines that it is not enough) but if you don't have cash on hand, the game will stick Franklin with -$50 which won't go to positive if you sell stock or get weekly property income. The only way to fix it is to hit up some pedestrians for cash,enough so you go back to positive. Now before I fixed it, I missed weekly income from Cab Co. Weed store & Los Santos Customs- after the fix, I got email saying all 3 deposited, but I only got Cab & LSC. Maybe I lost the weed $ for not doing pick ups/drop offs for them-but I tought if that happened, the $9,300 didnt show up in your weekly email. I did the weed delivery now, so jsut have to wait until next week to see if I get star getting money from the weed spot again. I have to laugh at it though, Rockstars website actually suggested it, just funny when you read "rob some pedestrians" in instructions to fix a game.

S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 So ran into two really cool glitches maybe.....early spoilers ahead. So the mission when you have to assassinate the guy by driving the bus. During my game when the guy went to get on the bus the person standing directly behind him was Niko.....he was there for like one second and then gone. On another mission the one where you are chasing down the remaining brothers that Trevor killed. When i was in the helicopter with the thermal vision trying to find them.....focused in on a figure, when i got closer turns out it was big foot.....again he was there for like two seconds i didn't take the shot and he disappeared....wish i took the shot. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Question ... I put a ton of money into investing in Lifehacker after the ... mission involving the owner. I tried to buy low but it kept going down. I haven't had another lifehacker related mission, but I'm guessing that stock has to go back up right? Any other stocks that are worth investing in?

Not just iFruit, whenever Franklin gets an assassination mission, stock up on whatever stock Lester says will benefit. And re Franklin and cabs, yes they do blow him off, lol. I called for a cab once (before buying the cab company,) they said Ok, one was coming. Never came. Called again and magically they were busy. He also get's profiled, I guess. I was at the airport and called for a cab. I didn't do anything at all but stand there and wait for it. Police come from nowhere and I get busted. I was like WTF!!!

CRobi21 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Anyone know what time multiplayer will be available tomorrow?

You take flying lessons? I know when I take a copter up with Franklin the copter sways back and forth without touching the controls. I figured I'd have to take lessons with Franklin to eliminate that. I was trying to get up on top of that skyscraper to do one of those parachute missions. Landing on top of the truck. **** is way hard man. I suck at landing the parachutes on target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
