Grand Theft Auto V

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I started taking taxis to missions and always have the cabbie turn on talk radio. It let's me take in the atmosphere while he's driving and then get down to business when he drops me off.

I browse the internet from my phone on cab rides. He does still drive while you're doing that. One time I was looking at my phone and heard crashes, pressed triangle and there were two cars repeatedly running into each other in an intersection. Took a while for the cabbie to get through that.

I haven't actually tried to jack a taxi...is it true that the cabbies are armed, like it says on the cab itself?

I would guess some cabbies just like some people are. Heck I honked and a guy and he got out of his car and started shooting at me.

I've also had a gas station clerk pull a shotgun on me and another guy refuse to to give me the cash.

It should have been considering you got money from it. Don't know why they didn't count it as one. I died multiple times on that mission because I thought they wanted me to use the bull dozer to flip the tank LOL. I kept saying damn it, the tank keep blowing me up, LOL

Spoiler

I didn't know I had to flip the tank. I just rode up and picked up Trevor and Michael and got out of there through the train station thing.

I kept rolling past tanks thinking, "Why aren't these dudes lighting me up ?".

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Wow, got an awesome stock tip. Was driving down the highway and a guy's rental had broken down. SO I race him to the airport. (Had 2:00) He gives me a tip to invest in a company and I do around 5 am. Invest all my money around 260K in the company. And it is now 2 pm and the stock tip has turned a profit of 70K so far.

Company is Tinkle. Don't know if the company will change for others so take that name with a grain of salt.

I did that, too. Same name.

Although after he gave me the tip, just to be safe, I only invested about half my money in it just in case he was an idiot and didn't know what he was talking about. Could have made a lot more if I would have trusted him completely, haha.

I stole a low rider outside this house as Michael. The owner and 3 of his friends came running out the house shooting at me, yelling blast that fool.

Nice idea on the browsing. I haven't done a lot of that and need to.

I have stolen a taxi and the driver wasn't armed. Or I sped away too fast to find out.

You can pick up taxi fares still though . Why would they leave that in but take out vigilante missions?

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Am I the only one that spent most of his time listening to talk radio while driving ? That guy with the coconut water and talking about ummmmmmmmmmm all the time cracks me up. He sounds like Pinkie from Friday. And I find the Laslo segment funny as well.

I listen to it when I hear the guy the sounds like JB Smoove. I am always scanning the radio for interesting stuff.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I find it hilarious to check my stats on Social Club to see how I am playing the three characters in terms of body count and wanted levels.

Michael I obviously play a bit smarter when I commit crimes and have 1 cop kill and 102 innocent kills, wanted 16 times for a total of 27 stars and got away with 26 of them. (1.6 avg stars per spree, got away 96% of the time)

Franklin I am bit more troublesome but not able to get away with as much killing 10 cops, 43 innocents and being wanted 24 times for 47 stars and getting away with 26. (2.0 avg stars per spree, got away 55% of the time)

Trevor I am a complete menace to society 62 cop kills, 217 innocents 37 times wanted for 79 stars and got away with 40 of them. (2.1 stars per spree, got away 50% of the time)

Michael I usually commit small crimes and run when wanted. Franklin usually do the same but sometimes get in over my head and can't get out of it. Trevor, once the first star hits the board it's on and I end up going buck wild until the cops finally kill me. Funny that I never set out to play the characters this way but I think subliminally their dialogue lines influence the way that I play them.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Some of my most funniest moments in the game:

Spoiler

1. When Michael explained to Trevor that he was a hipster and Trevor got upset realizing he was a hipster.

2. Once when I switched to Trevor, he was in bed with Floyd and Floyd was in PJ's and Trevor said there there, it will be ok and Floyd was in a fetal position whimpering.

3. Trevor talking to Lamar while Franklin was asleep in the truck explaining how him and Michael met and what happened to Michael. That whole conversation was funny.

4. After you save Lamar from the saw mill and drop him back home. That whole conversation they have in the alley was funny. I thought Franklin gave him a lot of money, but it was only $60. He says oh you give me enough to buy a bucket of chicken on the way to the poor house.

5. Pretty much any Lamar conversation was funny.

6. When you go to kill the FIB agents, Lamar calls you for back up. You don't have to really rush to get to him, the longer you take the more funny stuff he says. SOS SOS....

7. One time I switched to Trevor, he was on an island with nothing but his underwear on with dead Merryweather bodies all around him.

8. When I had to kill Stretch, I took out my machine gun and just sprayed the entire basketball court and hopped in my car. At first I thought it was more then one car was after me. When I realized it was just one car, I stopped the car, got out and sprayed the car with my machine gun, killing all the Ballers in the car instantly, then drove off like nothing happened.

9. The scene between Trevor and his mom was hilarious.

10. Michael's son tea bagging him was funny. At first I thought what the hell is going on with the camera. Then his son goes oh I thought I was over the other guy.

Over all I liked all the jokes this game had about other popular games in the past few years.

11. When Lester made fun of west coast people and Franklin got offended.

The FIB agent reminds me of Xander Berkeley, who I know best for casting George Mason on the show 24
