I used the entrance that's right off the coastal highway and went to the open air hangers that are nearby. Took off across the runway and dodged a couple SAMs. 9/28/2013 9:11:56 PM |

So far I've made over $180 million from buying Pisswasser stock. There was some tip thread a few days ago telling you to dump all your money in it, so I bought in at $2.34, and now it's up to $6.13. Supposedly it's supposed to max out on Monday. People are saying it is supposed to spike up to $150 a share, but I have my doubts about that. Either way, that country club is gonna be mine soon at this rate.] 9/29/2013 1:21:39 AM |

Wow the chopper is a bit tougher to fly than in the old games, but I still managed to take out the atomic blimp and the police chopper they sent after me before the engine locked up. Maybe I am too used to CoD but moving smoothly in this game is taking me longer than I thought it would.
I need to get some more $$ to buy better weapons before I start doing these stupid missions, also the cops are way harder to lose than they were last game.
Do I have to complete a certian number of missioins before I can play online or something?

I took a blimp up to the top of a skyscraper to retrieve my helicopter that I left up there when I did a parachute jump onto the truck's flatbed
the blimp landed on the edge of the roof and didn't fall, just sat there tilted lol 9/29/2013 1:14:08 PM |

Cops work via line of sight. You can hide in brush or in alleys. I think its too easy to get away. I feel like every mission with a land driving getaway I just park in an alley and avoid what they want me to do.

Really?
It seems to me that whenever you're on the run and you start to evade them, those blue scanners are working the map, and no matter where you are or what you're doing, if that scanner hits you they know where you are.9/29/2013 2:17:35 PM |
El Nachó special helper 16370 Posts user info edit post |
It is line of sight, but it's very strict. Like if there's a gap in a fence, or two dumpsters aren't quite close enough, they will usually see you. But I posted a video a few pages back showing someone hiding in some bushes and they don't find you.
So that stock I posted about last night is up to almost $9 a share now. This payout is gonna be so sweet. 9/29/2013 6:22:26 PM |

Also if you switch cars and show up as a grey arrow, they don't know which car you are in and might not even be onto you if you enter the cone briefly, they have to get close. 9/29/2013 6:48:16 PM |

Nacho, what's been the cause of the pisswasser stock to rise? Is it just in your game or across the entire online community!? 9/29/2013 9:22:27 PM |
semloh Veteran 265 Posts user info edit post |
the LCN stocks are what you do in game, the BAWSAQ are ones that the whole community change 9/29/2013 9:34:19 PM |
El Nachó special helper 16370 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah, I haven't read up much about it, but the BAWSAQ one is constant across all copies of the game and the numbers actually come from the internet, and are not randomly generated in your game. I keep reading that the community changes it, i.e. it works like real world stocks where lots of people buying something drives up the price, but I don't see how that's possible when you take into account multiple save forking and no limits on how many shares can be bought or how many people are buying them. I have my doubts that it's anything other than randomly generated. All I know for sure is that in the long term, the low price was $2.25 or something, and the highest it's ever been is ~$150. When I saw the thread it was very close to the rock bottom and people were insisting that it was due to skyrocket, so I dumped all my money into it and created a separate save point right afterward. The thing is, when you have multiple saves, it takes all the risk out of it. I've already "sold" all my shares at $4.00, and again at $5, and yet again a little while ago at $8.75. But I also still have the save that I made right after I bought all the shares, so I plan on waiting out the rise and trying to hit the maximum profit. If it gets up to over $100, I'll have over a billion dollars with all three of my characters, and will pretty much so be completely done with the need for money in the single player game from now on. Supposedly the master community plan is for everyone to sell at 22:00 tomorrow or whatever, and I guess that's when people think it's going to peak. It will be interesting to see if the stock does actually react to everyone selling all at once (if that happens) or if it continues to rise. 9/29/2013 9:59:32 PM |

I would really prefer that any ending talk be marked with a Spoiler tag. some of us can't devote an entire week to play through it and i'm really enjoying the story so far.

I would prefer that all of us who have finished the game get to discuss it freely without scrolling through 20,000 lines of blank screen to get to a "spoiler", that totally destroys the flow.
just stay out of the thread if you don't want a spoiler, by this point anyone should realize this thread contains spoilers 9/30/2013 8:19:07 AM |

I vote for spoiler tags. I've enjoyed using this thread for tips and help. Why should people who are doing the same have to stay out because others have finished when everyone can keep using the thread with the simple addition of spoiler tags? Take a couple seconds of your time to include everyone, or exclude half or more because you don't want to be inconvenienced. 9/30/2013 8:27:42 AM |

of course dtownral wants to ruin shit for people. I went back and read through some of the GTA:San Andreas thread a decade ago, and people could discuss things without posting excessive spoilers and it was a lot of fun. Then alias trolls like dtownral come in and fuck shit up for everyone. This thread shouldn't be off limits to people who want to discuss the game,(including different places in the timeline) but a little bit of courtesy would be appreciated by using a spoiler tag. 9/30/2013 8:32:31 AM |

Start a spoiler thread if you want to discuss the end of the game. Apparently I don't have as much free-time as some of you, and I like to roam around and do almost everything possible, so I probably won't be finishing it in several months (Assasin's Creed 3 took me 6 months, although there would be times where i wouldn't turn it on for a week or two). I've picked up a lot of tips in this thread, and would like to continue without having the ending spoiled. 9/30/2013 9:41:51 AM |

someone last week was complaining about the races. I've loved the races so far. I used Trevor for all of the ATV races and Franklin for the street races. Just unlocked the sea races last night and plan to get into those tonight.
Also, where the hell are you supposed to park your car at Floyd's condo in order to have it save like a garage? i've brought back half a dozen and they all disappear. 9/30/2013 10:43:22 AM |

i lost all the cars i've purchased or stolen regardless of where I park them, even if I leave them in a garage. because of the glitch i don't know if it will help, but I thought you were supposed to pull all the way forward under the house. 9/30/2013 10:46:33 AM |
