That was one of the few videos I have watched without skip seconds. It was hilarious.

They used actual gang members for this. I had a wow moment lol. Not sure if it's been posted in or outside of this thread.

Just completed the story, not really impressed with the ending.

 

There are several endings...

There are several endings...

 

Well after reaching the final story mission, I hadn't even realised it was the end until the credits went up. After being pumped up on the original trailer I thought I had missed out on a lot of other missions. For starters, not one mission involves flying a fighter jet, like advertised in the trailer. I think I spent the best part of 15 seconds in the barracks / airfield. I also recall seeing a crop dusting plane in a mission spraying fields in the trailer. Not to mention there are loads of cool places on the map which aren't even shown in any missions, such as the large prison. Then I had high hopes they would go into the whole "alien / freaks" missions again, like in SA. But the only mission in this game is one, and that's just collect space parts and you get given a glowing buggy.

 

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the game and think it's amazing, I just feel like the story was weak and missing some elements to it.

After looking back at the screenshot uploaded by rockstar, i can firmly guarantee they have the PC version that they decided hold back as long as they can to push the copy of GTA V console sales. Seriously, the second photo water just look incredibly crispy and blue compare to the console version and there just don't look as good as you might think in the xbox 360 or ps3. 

 

Clearly, it's just a matter of time. However, i just wish they design a Apple Store to let robbery steal the iProduct. It's going to be hilarious and fun or even create a mission that crash Apple WWDC in san francisco.

I'm at the very beginning where you're in a room with 2 guys and supposed to hide so they can blow the door. I stand right on the yellow dot but nothing happens. What am I missing?

4.5 hours sleep in 45 hours.  Lots of coffee.  I friggin' love this game!

[SinsOfCube]

Be warned, if you do the triathlons, the third one takes 28 minutes!!!

That's 28 minutes of mashing the sprint button!

Thanks! Why doesn't it tell me that?!? I guess I should have the button map readily available. ;-)

I think you should be patient. The second half of the game comes out in a couple of weeks, hopefully that will make use of the rest of the map. Would seem daft not to.

Wow, $1 billion sales in 3 days. Even Apple is drooling.

I'm stuck in or under the fib building and can't get out lol. Damn taxi driver, I can got through the wall to the outside. Just won't let me go back to the street or anything. Anyone else have this issue on the PS3 ver.?

All of the screens in the gallery look current gen to me and not taken from a PC build, the low aliasing on some of the edges and the low res textures in certain places shows it. I really think R* has achieved great feats with the current technology so I'm not complaining, I'm really enjoying this game.

That would be epic and force me to buy the game on the PC!

Is there anyway to know what the objectives are for a mission while playing it? The ones to get Bronze, Silver, or Gold? Or do you only know them afterwards? I see nothing at all in the pause menu during a mission that tells you what those objectives are, would be nice to know while doing a mission, not after.

I do understand though that it adds a replay factor by not telling them, but still, would be nice.

You missed the prompt in the top left corner, I did the same thing on my first play through, and it was quite frustrating and spoiled the fluidity of the scene. It was much more fun the second time around, once I knew the controls, and could get into the game.

 

Also, you press RB or R1 to get into cover, don't hold it.

I read something before release that they wouldn't be shown until you've played the mission, so that they don't create spoilers. Having just come off Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and gone into GTA V, I can get the logic. In AC:B I often figured out that a mission sequence was going to feature a certain thing based on the side objectives. Although that did tell you exactly what to do to achieve them, unlike GTA V's cryptic names.

 

Just going on to the fifth heist, and I'm already planning to start the game over once I've finished it. :D Last game that kept me this interested was Red Dead Redemption.

How are you guys going with getting gold for every mission? 
I was doing great until I got to the Trevor missions early in the game, and then they all seem to be Silver as Trevor is just psychotic and way to hard to not take a few bullets.

Couldnt have put it better. The end just seemed to pop up after taking out a few bad guys.

Still hope this helps with the jet plane etc

Okay thanks. I get the thought process, but it is just not very thoughtful of people like myself, who do not have as much time to play video games as they would like, so chances are as great as the game is, by the time I do finally beat the SP, chances are I will have an XBox One and PS4 to be checking out. Will see though, I may do some of the heists over as they are damn enjoyable.

 

With the above said, I am sure I can find it online in a walkthrough, etc. May do that, but I was trying to avoid using anything at all and just play the game with no assistance. And believe me I am tempted, would love to know the better stocks, but so far, I have refrained completely.

I finally got to my house and changed clothes. However, after that the game gives me nothing to do, quests, etc. I hijacked some cars for a while but that got boring. Isn't there a story with objectives I should be getting?

I get that too after a while, so I just do towing missions for the time being or switch to someone else.
