How the fk did people complete this game in less than 2 days? Insane.
By racing through it and skipping all the cut-scenes.


I'm still yet to complete it, don't want to finish the story until online is launched.
Will you play online if the story isn't complete still?

Oh really ! Well i may get modding tonight then !

Quick question, is it worth buying the LS Customs with franklyn so i get free modding before i start ? Does it save you a lot of money ? Im not sure how much the place is to buy, cant remember !
It costs $349'000 but it does save you a lot, especially in armour and engine upgrades. The only problem with it is it's so far away from Franklin's lock up and it's the only one that will give you free stuff, it's a hefty drive (not that that's a bad thing) there to keep a car in one piece.

I was in the same boat.

No wife, but gf seems understanding - bless her.

I'm planning on setting up a new game tomorrow and leaving her to it whilst I ps off down the gym for an hour or so. Not sure if her enjoying it would be a good thing though...

I didn't with the MW games... as in I would only play online once I've completed the story as I know once I go online, offline would never get a look in!

Also I just completed the 'HEAT' Heist, Oh Michael was very particular, you needed to find a fast, but subtle getaway car, I stole a 4 seater even though the mission didn't call for it, expecting I'd have to bring the others with me too, spent a $20k or so on Armour, suspension, turbo but nothing that would give it away as not being normal - very S8 from Ronin, couldn't leave it just anywhere, oh no, has to be out of the way secluded (might have helped if they let you know where the job was going down). Hid it up in Vinewood Hills, kinda expecting it to be brought to a useful location 'off screen'.

The Job goes down - a bloody awesome level truth be told. and after an exiting time doing the biz I'm told to make a break for it - so I do, GET TO THE GETAWAY CAR! Which is where I left it, miles from me - we've split up, so no need for 4 seats, never mind, she's a beast is sheep's clothing anyway. Arrive, no stars, no high speed chase nothing, I do the last bit of the job an toddle off in my getaway car wondering why they put so much onus on it - Could have left a Prius in a park somewhere, or simply walked away. Still great fun.

I came over all Waingro and dropped the two guards in the back of the security van the second they appeared and got caught in a huge fire fight with Noose, if I'd actually bothered to listen to Michael telling them to lay down could I have avoided it?

I bought a tank as Trevor and it said it had been dropped off....WHERE!?
Trevor’s tank shows up at his hangar (the one closest to his trailer in Sandy Shores), if you’ve already got a plane parked in there, you’ll have to wander around it until the option to switch stored vehicles appears.

I liked that heist - I did it last night.

I too parked my car miles away and didn't understand it!

I'll think about it wink
Someone was saying something about starting to have some criteria for promotion.
You should add your social club name to the wiki though, I know it's the same but just for completedness (and makes it easier for me if I'm copying stuff into excel wink)

Now for everyone's attention, the PS3 crew is full again, that's 300 in the crew and only 96 in the wiki.
Just so's we're clear this crew is PS3 so if you're only on xbox please leave the PS3 crew and instead join this one.

If you are in either crew please add yourself to THE WIKI.
The top table is for xbox, the bottom table for PS3.
If you can't figure out the wiki post your PS3 and/or xbox names and your social club name and I will add you.

I unknowingly 'found' Bigfoot, although I though it was a game glitch. I just thought his heat signal was one of the guys I was supposed to kill, but as I targeted him, he disappeared.

Well I've added myself to the wiki but the bloody crew is full.

The frustrating bit is I bet half the people on the crew don't even end up playing.

I can't join the PS3 crew but somehow had an invite to join the xBox crew?

I'll keep checking...
Personally I think the best thing for the PS3 lot is to make a new crew and start again.
The fresh start has worked well for the Xbox360 crew.

Just cull anyone who hasn't added themselves to the wiki by the weekend or X date. If they have joined the crew and haven't been checking the forum or any messages on the crew page, it's safe to say they aren't active enough.

It'll be a massive ballache going back and forth between the forum and the club list.
I'd say start a new one tbh...that way you'll only get people that are actually playing it.

R* seem very aware of the garage glitch when cars are disappearing, they have said it will be a priority patch and that it appears to happen everytime if you park or borrow a car from one of the other characters garages. This set me thinking, if that is the case when the patch sorts it then Franklin should be able to do the upgrades for everyone elses cars at his LSC shop and then deliver to everyones garage, free maximum upgrades smile

Yep NUTS sums it up perfectly

Stock market just pissed me off.

Doing the Lester Missions. Came out of the final heist with $30.2 million each. Put it all into Debonaire with each person and did the mission. Held out to around 80% (Had started to slow quite a bit for me) then sold. Invested it all back into Redwood (About $56 million each). Waited days and no change. Waited around a week and nothing. So decided to cut my losses and sell (Only lost $12k with Trevor on it.) Switch to Michael to sell up... Up 300%!!! So Mike and Franklin have $226 million each, but Trevor only has $56m! Bit annoying as I can't go back as far as I can see!
