which city for GTA 5?

I'm about halfway through the single player. Last night I was leaping over a train in a dirt bike to chase a burning plane and said to my wife "LOOK! IT'S LIKE I'M ACTUALLY IN AN ACTION MOVIE!"

The look she gave me :(

haha oh no

I know that look far too well

90.5% through now. Still searching for those last papers/spaceship items.

Also struggling with the 5th epsilyon tract clue, but don't tell me the answer, seems I reckon I'm looking for a ruined church perhaps. hmm. (I know I don't need them for 100% but gotta do em)

It also says that I'm down on 2 freaks/stranger missions. I'm damned if I know which ones - I've been all over this fricking map!

did you do all of tania's towing missions? that one confused me for awhile. try calling her as franklin if you haven't cleaned that up.

I know that look far too well

I was at 90% when I completed the main mission, and I left it at that.

There's a family row raging at the minute as my sister-in-law has bought her 11 year old son this for Christmas.

I've got a bad secret:

The four-year-old plays this.

Now, he's in a game where the weapons are out of ammo, so he can't shoot anything. He mostly steals buses and drives around and climbs ladders. If there's a crane in the distance, he'll spend ten minutes running to it.

he also likes to swim the length of the L.S. River. The other day, he got ate by a shark and both he and his sister were nuts about it for the rest of the day.

I'm not crazy about it, but it is fun to watch him explore. He has punched bystanders, but they came back pretty hard and punched him back. He mostly just runs around. I'll come in after he's done, and there's Michael under a bridge somewhere, standing on a barrel.

I walked in last night, and he's standing in Michael's living room with Franklin standing next to him. "Look!" he says. "It's my friend!"

Please don't call child services. We're monitoring this closely.

l'il plains stories are the next logical step in this thread and i for one am very excited to hear about these pint-sized adventures into mayhem

Snuck into the police station through a glitch and took this photo

I used to tease Second Lifers. Still do, actually.

Hey, it's a game. It's fun to play. I shouldn't beat myself up for it.

by the way, here's a picture I took right before I beat myself up.

The other day I started a new online character. I was doing one of the first missions, and something happened I haven't experienced in a long time ... I ran out of ammo! I only had a basic pistol and a little bit of ammo at that point. I had two guys left to murder so ran in and punched one guy to death, stole his gun, and shot the other guy. It was kind of exhilarating.

there's this one thing that's got me trippin

Na na nananana na

someone gave me millions of dollars in a game last night. millions. what do i do? also, lots of guys in the game were indestructible. am i in a lobby for bad sports? I AM NOT A BAD SPORT.

online is wintery weather only today. very impressive though

Someone gave me $180M. I'll tell ya, it's made the game more enjoyable.

The snow is amazing. Felt like Christmas was finally here when I saw it.

yeah when I loaded it up I was treated to snow, Baker Street on the radio, and someone gave me £500 mill and then someone else gave me more. wtf.

yeah i'm up 240M

Seriously, now that I don't have to worry about money -

• I traded in for an apartment in the same building just so I could have a different view.

• Loaded up every car with max armor, turbo, bulletproof tires.

• Didn't think I needed the extra magazine on the MG since I use the Carbine more, but hey, YOLO.

• Speaking of YOLO, I don't worry so much about getting killed. Came down Mt. Chilliad on foot today, dying three or four times in gnarly falls. Ain't no thing anymore.

• Somebody shoot me or blow up my car? Hope you feel better, little man with a gun in his hand. I just respawn and either go after the guy, put a $9K bounty on his head or shrug it off and go home.

The one thing I did with all the money that I thought I'd have fun doing but was actually saddening was grabbing a Simeon car off the map, respraying it and loading it up with explosives, then parking it right back where I found it. When a few minutes later, I saw the little black caption say I killed so-and-so... it was rather anti-climatic and made me feel a little like a dick.

Now - loading up the Bigfoot 4x4 truck with an explosive, parking it in the LCS lot (not in front of the door or anything) and watching a guy get mad because it was locked (oops, forgot to change that in the menu), spray it with bullets, then try to get in it again just to have it explode -- that was high comedy.

(oi poly thx for invite, but sometimes this game and my internet don't get along; accepting borked my router...)

usually my invites are just me clicking Auto Invite and Play in the lobby so no worries.

Last night I used the Race Creator Beta to make my own race. Very fun.

Loading the Simeon car with a bomb is a great idea!

haha yeah it is

She exchanged it for Black Flag, in the end. Which is a lot more fun, imo.

i think i figured out my router problem

the rally-style races are so frustrating and ultimately depressing but i think i love them? i think i like yelling at people. esp if they aren't on mic.

oh and somebody put some absurdly, glitchy-high bounty on me (like a long string of digits), and somebody else promptly killed me. i found that guy, and killed him. a minute later he gifted me a billion dollars. one billion.

oh great, i read now that dumping huge money on ppl is some kind of griefing technique, getting more and more people caught up in cheater lobbies or outright banned, or something? but presumably whenever R* does some kind of 'financial correction' to fix all the rampant money glitching (which i've heard is coming), people on the receiving end of some fucko's charity won't suffer any consequences.

but it's not like i haven't bought a sweet pad and ten tricked out cars, more than the $500k bonus for being around during that first fucked up week, i think...

anyway, i made a sweet off-road track around fort zancudo, is anybody interested? i can figure out how to publicize it if so.

i can't fully trick my rides because i haven't leveled enough :[

Here's one of mine. Don't try it on motorcycles until they work out that whole "dying on impact" glitch with the ramps.

(Find yours by going to http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/jobs/my-missions)

currently in a race lobby with a dude who's level 949

Haven't gone back online since getting stuck in a game where several dudes were indestructible and just wandering around the world killing other players. It kind of sucks when that happens.

I just start a new race or find a new session.

I noticed in the Ammunation store that I could change the color of the Carbine if I killed a certain number of other players. Seems like I've already killed 100, but hey, now I've got a new goal to ~*shoot*~ for. I usually don't go around with guns blazing, but hey, maybe if there's already a firefight happening, I can pull the trigger a few times and work my way up to the Army tint.

So I come back to the lobby after a race and see a cluster of dots around the midtown LCS. Yeah, you don't say. I start driving over there, and I can hear the sirens from more than a block away. I get out just as a police car rams into my car, making me feel like Bugs Bunny exiting the elevator a split second before it crashes. Turns out it's another player in the cop car, so rat-a-tat-tat.

I run toward the plaza where the other dots are and that's when I see like six tanks rolling around, swinging their cannons. Blam, I go up in the air. Respawn and blam, across the pavement. Respawn, and I'm around the corner. What's that one dot doing that's not moving around? Blam, I'll never know.

So I exit the session and land in another one. Just me and this other guy. I help him out in a gangfight and he gives me a ride to Simeon's where I somehow get money for the car I was a passenger in. I give the money back to the player and he in turn gives me the entire total because hey – we're all billionaires in this game now, who needs $4700?

To be honest, getting into a losing firefight with six tanks was more fun.

but hey, i really don't talk like that.

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
