GTA:V Discussion thread

i only bought air strip for trevor. and i bought stock with Michael.

its crazy any mission u do that affects anyone who owns a business or influences the stock market can alter the economy in the game.

i wonder if i took someone out it will help franklin but screws trevor over as well now that would be unreal.

Yeah I saw some videos of people manipulating the stocks by fucking shit up just in free roam. Like someone bought stocks in that taco place and went and blew up a bunch of trucks at the cluckin' bell place and raised that taco fast food place's stocks and made a profit. Same with investing in the other air travel company and going to the south LS airport and blowing up airplanes.

Also most of the stocks tend to go up and down and up and down, so keep that in mind when investing in things. Buy low sell high.

yea i did that for Michael.

i think its times to invest more towards stock property upgrades and mods

Yeah I heard destroying vehicles and killing peds raises insurance stock too.

Kinda weird how at first it seems lamarr is gonna be a semi important character but 33 missions in he only appears ever so often as if franklin just forgot about him. Its weird how now that hes rich lamarr is still a small level thug and theres hardly much mention of this, just seems weird. There seems to be a lot less focus on outside characters this time around

Yeah it seems to be that way with a lot of characters. Like those guys that Trevor kills at the farm, their brothers just like disappear and don't even try to contact Trevor till an ingame month later. Like it was so long that even if I was only doing main missions it would still feel like a while till they started to come after me. Tons of side characters just seem to disappear and idk what happens to them, I feel like I'm missing some of what's going on even though I'm going through all the side missions first.

I know right? That is a little off putting but it might be a necessary sacrifice for everythkng else they put in. The water bounces off the rocks, the waves, the mountains all of that is pretty incredible and makes up for the slight immersion loss with tossed characters. If nothing else its not as bad as ACs narrative right? "ezio I need a painting" "yes, I will go get it for you" "thanks for the painting ezio" "yes"

Yeah I think ppl pulled that from the guide? Its gonna take a while for ps3t.org to make one explaining everything in the game, but theres lots of chatter about it on their forums. Remember ppl buy low sell high. The assassination side missions are perfect for this. If you kill the head of a company his rivals stock will rise so buy before you do the mission. The attacked company will drop in price drastically and you buy stock afterward then sell it for more after it rises. Two ways just depends on the mission.

yea the contact list is gonna be huge after all side and main quest.

so im almost done preparing for 3rd heist. i supped up my car for franklin. im assuming u guys are ahead, are there any gyms in the game or what? is there a muscle stat? or a sex appeal stat?

oh and i found a soapstone...so ill summon one of you guys to my world next time we play.

and lol u guys play the mission when michael trips out for the second time?

Kifflom baby

I fuckin LOVE how people survive a shot and weakly struggle to shoot at you from the ground. I took out a gang of 4 lost members in a van, got the money then saw 4 more on bikes way behind me while I was out picking up the cash. I use my slow time ability, pick off three with headshots and fire off the last. Since the guy that was stolen from is in their direction I take my motorcycle and go past the carnage only to hear one of them struggling.  I casually roll up on him with my bike and stop. He tries to fire off at me only to miss, and I dont even move which makes if look even more badass. Then, still on the bike I take his life with a sawd off. Then I drove off.

Lol nicer

Any of u guys notice the poster in franklins room at his aunts place. It has the half red and blue with a guys face with MADD written at the bottom.

MADD dog from San Andreas.

So far 3 references/returning characters for me so far

Packie homie.

You can get s star for pushing past ppl....ridiculous.  completely ridiculous

Hope they at least take the dead character's names off the list when you finish the game.

Ah that's fucked up.

Yeah thats hella stupid apparently just running past people is cause to get fucking shot!

I think the fact that all those useless numbers on your phone is rockstars way of making it look like there are still meaningful and plentiful side characters when there arent.

the jogging lady, the lifeinvader hacker, lester, tracy, simeon, mazarro, steve i can go on. mission 39 and they are all useless dicks that dont pick up their phone. Either that or they call you and then never offer anything to you in which case why even add them as contacts?

also if online is gonna have tons of randomly generated heist missions why not port them over for single player? I have a lot of nitpicks with the game, among them customization options as well. Sure way better than gta4s(not saying much....) customization but still limited(3-5 hairstyles come on) they could even have made more safehouses if they had stuff like home customization, phone skin buying, relationship favor/skills, stealing cars and selling them to ppl(GTA!!!!!) I love this game but damn im surprised some small things werent added/implemented. 

 Oh well I guess we can wait for the expansion that will likely have new features/reintroduce older ones like cage fighting...even though melee isnt really tight either. Itll be a year or two until ballad of gay simeon

bring back the clubs!/dancing/gfs/picking up

how do i do devin missions...i get 2 stars for entering the movie place....the guy wont let me in or sometimes the thing opens up but i still get 2 stars (with franklin)

lol

I hope the expansions add San Fierro and Las Venturas. They probably won't though, especially since it seems a lot of areas in the current SA are going unused in the single player. I'm only 70% done, but it doesn't seem like I'm going to the prison.

Eri wrote:bring back the clubs!/dancing/gfs/picking up

You can make strippers your gfs.

No u cant....can u. No. 
less than 7 days till gta online should it become active at midnight

That really hot stripper with the purple corset is Franklin's gf.

It's no different from the GTAIV relationships though, really pointless.

Gta4s relationships gave you abilities lil jacob brought guns to you, packie placed bombs, etc. They should have added that into v and expanded on it

Yes they had online dating in 4

Then u meet them etc. Some gfs help ur health others lower stars

In gay tony u can dance and dance battle in gay bar

----

So all I gotta rally say is lol clowns

mission 43. Im sure I can fin7sh before online...im sure....

What's your precentage? I'm getting the nuclear waste right now, pretty damn boring.

65.6. Ive only found 1 collectible though. I am NOT looking forward to that garbage. Gonna put it off as much as possible
