So just to clarify, the missions you get as Franklin by going to "L" on the map are available to be played after the story has been finished?

I only ask as

I've done the 1st heist, then did the 1st assassination mission - at the hotel - If the L based assassination missions stay until after the story, ill hold off and get a load more money to put on the stock markets after I've done all the other missions!)

Yes the missions are still available. : )

[ambuletz]

So its just the Lester missions with Franklin then? Might aswell wait after you've done afew heists to spend huge money on the stocks. unforunately i read about all of this after completing the hotel asssasination mission. I hope there are more.nobody seems to be mentioning any others though.

[93Jay]

Before Lester's multi assisination mission with Franklin, where you meet him near a car wash and a shop invest heavily in Debonaire cigarettes.

Anyone know what the upgrades are got the LMG(s)? Also anyone got locations for assault rifles?

I haven't had much time to play GTA5 this week! I've completed a few of the basic missions, but I'm trying not to rush through the storyline too quickly ... From what I've played so far, it's awesome! I love the fact that the entire island is free to explore from the offset and some of the faster cars are available too!

I've just sunk about $5K of my $7K into some really low stocks, so hoping that a return will provide some extra cash to reinvest ... and so on I just want to build a fully modified car! Which one to go for though? Comet?

Has anyone fitted a turbo or any decent upgrades to a car? Does it make much of a difference? Speed/noise?

Anyway, I'm going to play through most of tonight, I think! Awesome. Simply awesome.

I've only had a couple of hours on it so far wanting to make some more cash via the stock market...when is BAWSAQ available to trade on?

[callmedave]

IGN has some really good, short gameplay videos up, Robbing convience stores, robbing armoured vans, getting a jet, also hacks for car repair, health and cash!

Just spent last 30 mins watching a few!

Whereabouts is this database centre? Having a Buzzard could come in handy!

I think he means where you meet David. its west of the Vinewood sign. (i could be wrong though!)

Yes; East of East Vinewood on the map in the hills outside of the city. It's labelled as 'National Office Of Security Enforcement" on the map (I got the database bit off the sign at the entrance gate).

Bought them at $200 per share...currently at $503 and climbing fast.

Looks to be lots of chat around about 'saved' cars disappearing, it would seem that even if you park a car in your garage at the safe house it will disappear. Trying the storage lock up to see if its safe there instead.
