I was near the end of a mission earlier [you have to land a plane at the end, using Trevor] - And something came up, i had to pause the game for a while - I had failed the landing a couple of times, so had it paused just as you come towards the land strip. When I came back to the game and un-paused it, a message came up, not thinking I hit A to carry on, and the mission had vanished! It must have asked did I want to end the mission or something?

That is a major gripe for me, the messages that pop-up [like when you're hammering along in a fast car] are hard to read, so you end up crashing while trying to half the time! And they go away too quick. You should be able to pause, read the pop up, then carry on.

And I'm playing on a 40" - with no eyesight issues ...

You can read all the messages and dialogue from the Brief section in the pause menu. Usually once you fail a mission a few times you're given the option to skip with X, not A. You can simply replay the mission from the pause menu if you want.

When you need to fly low in airplanes and you just skim the top of a tree. Wing breaks off. :mad:

Game needs more heists, they're the only "fun" way to make real money.

The stock market is a brilliant touch but I'd rather hold up banks/jewellery stores then betting on the stock market.

It maybe something that comes down the line as DLC but at that stage I'd say people will have made enough money not to worry about money itself.

razorblunt · 25-09-2013 10:15am

That papparrazzi car chase mission aggggghhhhhhhh, why cant I just drive!

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 25-09-2013 10:26am

You can't go into a lot of the shops. I realise this is probably a limitation of the current gen hardware, there's no way we could go into every second shop with the level of realism in the outside world.

Wonda-Boy · 25-09-2013 1:48pm

Made a lovely custom car pumped over $100,000 into it, loaded up the game the next time car was gone and so was the money!!!!!! Would not mind if the car was gone and the money was back ****in raging I am. Was with Franklin, so my advice dont pimp the cars in case its a glitch you will just lose money.

firestarter51 · 25-09-2013 1:52pm

I did the same put a load of money into a stolen car, parked it in Trevor's parking space it was there the next time I played and then gone the next, only had his pick up truck

gnfnrhead · 25-09-2013 2:04pm

It's a known glitch with the garages. Think it's okay if you use the proper garage rather than the safehouse garage.

firestarter51 · 25-09-2013 11:21pm

Read a theory online that if you invest in the taco company shares and sabotage the chicken company lorries your share will rise as the other company will be going broke, I spent three hours blowing up the lorries with sticky bombs and RPGs, avoiding cops and my shares went up 4 % and then came down so I only broke even, after putting in half a million
Lots of people are saying how they made money in this

For ~$350k you can buy a garage and customize everything for free as Franklin.

When you have to make your way through buildings shooting people is very frustrating.

When you are running it's impossible to run through tight places.

Randy Shafter · 26-09-2013 4:08pm

My gripe is when you call an ambulance to fix you up. It eventually comes and nothing happens! The medic doesn't come out and help you and they just drive off :mad:

Notorious97 · 27-09-2013 12:00am

Is it ok to leave a custom car in a safe house? Im currently trevor, just fully kitted out a car, can i leave it in wades cousins safe house? Or is there anywhere else it will be safe and not disappear?

Glico Man · 27-09-2013 12:06am

Apparently the characters specific garages (the ones that cost $30k) are safe. Not the safehouse garages. Every single car I've stored in safehouses has disappeared, yet in the other garages, they're still all there.

One thing that I'd like to see introduced is what we had in IV, when you could leave the car's engine running when you hopped out. Would save me a bit of time and health not getting shot when robbing security vans.

Only Franklin's original garage went missing for me. The rest have been fine.

It would make gathering the collectables so much quicker if the engine in the chopper would keep running.

who_me · 27-09-2013 1:13pm

One time when being chased while going flat-out, I checked behind me and the cars behind were fading into the distance. Great, I've lost them... but they're still shooting at me. Check again, and they're just behind me, but then fading into the distance. Weird, but at least I'm now losing them. Check again, and they're right behind me, then fading into the distance. I guess that answers how the chasing cars manage to magically stay behind you as you weave through tight spaces!

BAWSAQ never worked for me, never realised I had to be signed on to PSN. Grrrr. Probably lost a lot there. That's another thing - all the serious money I've made has been through random encounters. I shouldn't even bother with the main missions for making money.

Regarding parachuting:

on the mission where you have to kill the guy at the top of the skyscraper: after several attempts I realised I had to kill the guy in the chopper(!!) I finally got him with a lucky shot, then tried to walk across the girders and did that awkward floppy fall and hit the next floor down and died. After several more attempts to kill the guy in the chopper, I finally do it again, carefully jump off the edge, perfect leisurely parachute glide all the way down... until I touch a pole about 2ft above ground - INSTANT DEATH. Back up and having to shoot the guy again.

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 27-09-2013 1:37pm

I was doing the first street race last night and had the initial chat with the guy. I had a motorbike with me at the time. I was told to go find a suitable vehicle so I jumped on my bike to go looking for a nice car. Pulled into the street and it was a total ghost town. I drove the around for a solid 15 minutes and there wasn't one moving car to be seen. At the side of the road there were two types of cars, a large SUV and the trans am lookalike. That was it.

I walked away from the bike, nothing. I then blew the bike up and nothing. Was extremely frustrating. Did it in the trans am and won but that was quite clearly a major glitch. I read that a similar problem happened to someone looking for a getaway car for the final mission too. Beware.

Makaveli · 27-09-2013 1:46pm

Isn't the first race right beside Franklin's house and you can get his white car from the garage? Pretty sure that's what I did because I was on the bike too when I activated the race.

The lack of cars where Trevor lives.... g'aaarrghh!

Gi joe! · 27-09-2013 3:11pm

Great game, but there are a few annoyances that have cropped up.

1. Police wanted system. This is becoming an increasing annoyance. I'm sure everyone has committed a minor crime in the middle of nowhere, only for 2-3 cop cars to find you immediately. I once even had a police car appear on a trail halfway up Mt Chilliad. Wtf were they doing up there in the 1st place?

They also need to patch the duration of wanted stars, so that it increases for each progressive star. Having to wait 3-4 minutes to lose 1 star is getting really tedious at this stage.

2. The garage system. Granted they're going to patch the disappearing cars bug, so this should be sorted.

3. The helicopters handling are awful. The air turbulence is completely over the top. Its like they're drunk or something. This is strange as I don't remember this being an issue in the GTA 4 and it definitely wasn't a problem in the last gen games.

4. Why the hell does the jet's engine cut off after a couple of minutes? After about 10 trys I finally got one to the Airport in Los Santos(which I owned), only for it to cut out a few metres away from my hangar. Nearly threw my controller at the wall in frustration.

And where's my flamethrower dammit! :P

krudler · 27-09-2013 3:15pm

I agree about the 1 star levels being too much, it shouldn't be as much of a chore, you could outrun 1 star levels on foot in the previous games ffs.

gnfnrhead · 27-09-2013 3:21pm

It's easy to lose the wanted levels at one and two. Just find an alleyway or something and wait a minute or so. Never had to wait any longer than that unless I was spotted.

It's easier to just get out of the car and run up an embankment or something than get into a chase at times. losing cops out in the county area is piss easy at least

The helicopters can be a bitch to lose. But other than that, I think it's perfect. They get harder to lose, but arent impossible. I much rather this to IV and especially to the III era system.

The choppers aren't too bad in the city, overpasses and tunnels are your friend, out in the county they can be a pain unless you're near an airfield. I dont mind big chases with 3-4 wanted level, but when you see 4-5 cars arrive for a 1 star is a bit much.

IvySlayer · 27-09-2013 4:10pm

When a police car rams me, I get an instant 2 star.....

Varik · 27-09-2013 4:17pm

When you're replaying missions you obviously are trying to get or do it a certain way so why can't the have a restart checkpoint or restart mission without having to either kill yourself or reload and have to tend load the mission again. It would also be nice to have it normally as everyone here has gotten to the point where they know they're about to lose the race or whatever and just want to retry.

I'm pretty sure it's 1 star for the initial crime, and 2 stars when you resist arrest. I assume you weren't being particularly compliant :pac:

Witcher · 27-09-2013 4:26pm

The wanted system is my biggest problem with it, punched out a lone guy in the wilderness and received one star, had a 3 v 1 street fight in the city and got nothing:pac:

SherlockWatson · 27-09-2013 4:34pm

Wanted system is grand, very easy to lose a 4-5 star in the city, head to the aqueducts and learn the underground routes!

I got hit by a police car today as a pedestrian, recieved a one star wanted level instantly. Your fault coppers for hitting me.

I'm not sure but I think there's you cars, if you leave a car somewhere and it's not there when you get back it's usually with the cops.

It can be a bit ridiculous at times. I went to make myself a cup of tea last night and never paused the game. Was just standing on a footpath.. someone must have called the cops on me because when I came back I was outside of a police station :pac:

Triathlon number three.

R-Doyle89 you bastard! Beat me by 0.8 seconds! I would have had the record if I didn't crash and fall of the bike

30 minute race, no way am I doing it again.

Varik · 27-09-2013 7:11pm

Was doing one of the later mission that involved accessing a computer, the thing just froze like there was something meant to happen but nothing did, no matter which icon on the computer I used nothing happened.

And it was before I sold some shares so now the price has gone a bit down.

Fair play. I was thinking 27 would be about the best you could do without some sort of cheating.

Who did you use? I went with Franklin but he is hopeless at swimming.

Trevor.

Full bar stamina and strength, not sure if the latter means little for a triathlon though and nearly full for driving. Nearly four bar lung capacity.

Franklin for me has the best stats overall since I play with him the most though.

I find everything is easier this time. Missions are too easy, races are too easy....and im not great. Never won a race in gtaiv but this time i win races even after spinning out twice.

The fact that you cant attach trailors to lorries is stupid given you have to do it in a mission.

Also that passengers run from the taxi if you are obeying red lights.

GTA V - Arrrgghh's!!
