The writers are great. The medical cocaine add allways has me laughing, the shades of grey pisstake and some of the news parts POINTLESS SOUND EFFECT!

Jagged edges everywhere, texture/object pop-in all over the place when driving or using the scope on a sniper rifle as well as anything outside the player's immediate surrounding looking featureless and what I would expect from the PS2 which just made it unplayable for me.
Strange... I'm playing on a Super-Slim and it's perfectly fine! :?

If its anything like gta4 then the graphics just aren't that great, despite what all the reviews try and claim

Currently at 1.2 and creeping up... gonna wait to see what happens when online kicks in I think as 5 days ago they were up at 50... already got nearly half a million profit!

Most likely I'm gonna lose Michael's life savings. :lol:
Up to $2.92 this morning. Come oooooooon! Gonna get me a cinema at this rate.

Gotta stop checking the Bawsaq whilst at work... :oops: :lol:

Does anything come of this? I rescued her, drove her to her car and she kept saying I'd be rewarded, but haven't had anything come through yet.

I accidentally drove her off the top of Mount Chiliad.

What market is HAL on? Is it another BAWSAQ jobbie that non-online folk are discriminated against?

Yeah, it's on BAWSAQ. I guess it makes sense for it not to be available to offline players as it's an online market - the LCN changes due to in-game missions and so the values you see depend on your personal progress, but BAWSAQ is a dynamic market that we all affect for each other.

When Online kicks in properly, it's gonna get INTERESTING.

I wish I hadn't blown all the cash from my first heist on toys... I'd be buying the fucking golf course right now! :lol: :u:

Not had many missions from the property. Had one for the scrapyard where I had to defend against The Lost, and one for the shitty strip club up the top left where I had to deliver some booze but I fucked up getting the truck out the car park and failed by a few seconds.

I've not bought anything worthwhile yet, tbh... I've only really had one good heist payout though. I want to get Michael enough to buy the theatre really.

Franklin's broke, otherwise I'd be all over Los Santos Customs.

It doesn't seem right to give Trevor nice things.

Well worth it for the later missions when you can trick out your getaway cars with armour & bullet proof tyres for free :D

ahhhhhhhhhhh that's where that comes from. Nice one, that's just bumped up the shopping list :Q:

Kinda regret buying the scrapyard, doesn't seem to have any tangible benefit

Only partially worth it imo. Once you buy LS customs, which only franklin can buy, only franklin gets free mods, and it's only from that shop, not all the shops. So even after purchasing it, you still have to pay for car mods with Michael and Trevor.

Haha i really hated playing as Trevor at first but he has really grown on me, they way he talks to all the supposed badass's and takes the piss out of everything cracks me the fuck up.
The Hipster convo with Micheal is fucking amazing as well :lol:

I only own then weed shop,one garage (with a nice pink sports car robbed from a celebrity), one dock(fuck knows why) and the scrap yard.

I alos got loads of money wired to my account from the chick with Gambetti connections. I was only able to take 3 people to the cultists with trevor before they turned on me and I had to massacre them all. Havent been able to take anyone up there since, but the facility they use is open for me now, found a space ship part up there too.
