here's a question
i feel like i'm fairly into the game—i've been playing basically any quests i can get my hands, bunch of the "good" side stuff but not thaaaat much "random dudes" stuff (cuz it's usually pretty boring). the last thing that happened was trevor kidnapped the guy's wife.
but i've only done ONE heist where i actually had to do the whole "choose who you hire" thing. when i first did that, and it feels like a while back, i got the sense that this was gonna be a big part of this game, but it just hasn't come back up. even the last bunch of heist type missions (submarine etc) haven't invoked that mechanic. was that just a misleading on the designers' behalf or does it really come back in a big way?

There's a good 3 or 4 missions where you have to make those choices iirc
― Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Saturday, 19 October 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link
4, I think, yeah. Lots of build-up to them, too-- steal this, collect that. I mean, I get that some people are like "man this crates mission is boring" but I far preferred the variety in scale and intensity of the missions to the $1-$10-$100-$1000-$10000-$100000 style of the previous games.

there's def a big stretch betw the first and second heists tho
the pacing's a little off
― cozen, Saturday, 19 October 2013 23:11 (ten years ago) link
there aren't as many heists as you would think though, Slocki's right-- especially considering how many obvious heisty places there are on the map (max security pen, racetrack etc). I wondered whether that's bc the future SP DLC will be sets of heists... that would make sense.

also some dude gave me $250,000,000 in online today... I don't know how to feel about it! I feel kind of like I did as a record collector when Napster came out.

is that part of the "October Settlement" from Rockstar, or did @l 5h1pley give you that money out of his own pocket?

Passive mode only works so well -
I turned it on last night for $100. Went to an ATM. Found a car to steal and sell. Shopped at Ammunination. Was walking toward this property I might get when I'm finally an 80-thousandaire when I see this white blip driving right toward me. It stops and starts zipping through the alleys to the staircase I was standing on.
Dude runs up and just stands in front of me. I don't move. I hear him say to his friend, "I don't know, he's just standing there." His friend, from where ever he was, says "Well, shoot him already!" Guy raises his gun and nothing happens. I push past him and continue down the steps. "He just walked past me," guy says. Friend is giving him a hard time, "Do you not know how to murder someone?"
Felt pretty smug until later on, the guy came around a corner and ran over me. Should've kept passive mode off and shot the guy when I saw him coming the first time.

Inside 24/7 convenience stores or those orange super 7 ones. Anywhere marked by a store icon, really (except liquor stores.)
You can also deposit money on your cellphone.

is there any advantage to depositing in person and not in cellphone

i suspect there's a lot more stock movement scripted to story missions -- i've seen a couple things out there about one or two but i wonder about the rest
― goole, Monday, 21 October 2013 16:15 (ten years ago) link
thing is cuz you cant short stocks, its not like you can cash in on something right before you kill a CEO or whatever
and if you're expected to research the companies to see who the company's competitors are, i dont think that really qualifies as a fun thing to do in a GTA game
― socki (s1ocki), Monday, 21 October 2013 16:17 (ten years ago) link
well no.
what i mean is, after the final mission, the news is screaming about GOLD PRICES SOARING and i wondered if it had some meaning

Recently I did a mission where a rich guy asks for a ride to the airport. As you drop him off, he gives you a little bit of money and tells you to invest money in a stock. So I put the 50 million I had in the bank for Michael all in that stock.
So far I have only lost 20 million dollars as a result of that investment!
― polyphonic, Monday, 21 October 2013 17:53 (ten years ago) link
yeah that's a specific one -- surprised it didn't work for you, maybe you missed the window. i made a shitload!
― goole, Monday, 21 October 2013 17:55 (ten years ago) link
i made a bit of cash on that one
― socki (s1ocki), Monday, 21 October 2013 17:55 (ten years ago) link
man, buying stocks is terrible though, you have to keep pressing the plus button one at a time? i actually would have invested more if i hadn't already spent five minutes on that.
― socki (s1ocki), Monday, 21 October 2013 17:56 (ten years ago) link
you can hold it down

I would have if I hadn't kept the stocks after the window :(

I've got a mic now, I just don't use it often.
I did use it last night in some caper where two teams had to steal this van and take it back to a guy who wanted the drugs inside. My team got inside a pick-up truck at the beginning and I was the driver. I'm pretty good at driving, but the truck had no traction, so I was sliding around a bit.
So I say, "Dammit, get off of me cat" even though the cat was sleeping on the bed behind me.

as great as i think this game is its still waay behind the original san andreas in terms of content and challenges.
the only thing ive struggled with so far are the two chopper missions for flight school.
and seriously races? so lacking AGAIN. original san andreas must have had at least thirty races and they were all pretty tough.
im still enjoying my time with it though. just not sure how much longer it will last
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Monday, 21 October 2013 21:15 (ten years ago) link
Yeah the Story races are all way too easy.
Although if I want my ass handed to me, there's always online races. I rarely win at those.

sooo i updated xbox live and it totally destroyed my saved games? like I was at 40% or so and now I'm at the beginning. is there some way to fix this? I'm pretty ticked off

I had the exact same problem. I turned off the console before it got a chance to save (which IIRC it asks you before it does anyway on a fresh boot) and booted again, directly into SP instead of via Online, and it put me back where I was, mercifully.
