So, I was playing story mode today, where michael gets high.... its the weirdest thing I have ever seen

That ufo would be awesome to drive, I wonder if R* put that somewhere, if there is one at a secret military base or something...

Sorry for the question but what does this latest update for GTA V have?

Fix to address the issue where players were stuck launching a session before the Mall or Nothing race in the online tutorial.
• Fix to address an issue where bank & cash were deleted incorrectly in some cases.
• Fix to address incorrect amounts of cash being dropped when the player dies in Missions and Last Team Standing.
• Fixes an issue where the Character Switch Wheel would disappear after a failed load.
• Fixes an issue where attempting to enter GTA Online via the Character Switch Wheel caused a black screen.
• Fixes an issue where temporary characters were overwriting main characters.
• Fixes an issue where players were losing apartments and the money they spent on them.
• Fixes an issue that caused Story Mode missions to be missed in some instances.
• Removes the autosave that occurred when transitioning into GTA Online from within GTAV Story Mode to prevent the chance of Story Mode saves becoming corrupted.
• Several tweaks to GTA Online including improving overall stability.

I also notice that cars are now named when entering a mod shop.

How did you possibly get that much with each character? The only guy who can come close for me is Micheal and that's only because he makes so much per week.

As mentioned; I waited until after the main story was complete, so I had healthy sums of money. Other than some silly spending on clothes at the beginning, I didn't really buy anything throughout the playthrough either.

There's surely quite a list of improvements(^), but they still haven't fixed the missing dialogue for me online.

Okay, thanks.

Did the update worked for you guys? Whether it's on PS3 or X360? Thanks.

I did the update on my PS3 and didn't have any problems afterwards.

Yeah I picked that up too, that was part of the first online patch on the 1st October.

He probably took Lester's various stock advice when you do his assassination missions. Of course you have to save them after you finish the final heist.

This is something I want to talk about. I took all that guys advise and I had inside trading knowledge because my friend played some before me and told me what to invest in. I got it even cheaper than what everyone else did. However the stock price didn't rise to where his were. For example DEB went to over 300 a share in his game so when mine were at 70 I didn't sell since I knew they would still go way up. What happened was mine went as high as 80 and stopped. Another stock tip you are supposed to wait until the stock bottoms out before investing. His went to 35 a share so I waited for that but mine only dropped to about 50 a share. If seems the stocks aren't the same in everyone's game. I don't know if this is because of the choices we make when playing or if the game itself is actually different.

Just out of shear curiousity, does anyone outside of the UK actually get the pun relating to BAWSAQ ?

I heard someone say it on Youtube and I finally got what it was.

LOL, its definitely more obvious in Scotland, just wasn't sure if the joke made it over to the states.

 

[Akmuq]

This is ridiculous, if I sign into PSN at any stage, GTA will freeze on me.

There's a pun? Is it if you say it like its a word it sounds like human anatomy or is it short for something?

Testicle carrier, yes.

well baw (rhymes with paw) is Scottish slang for ball, and saq is supposed to be pronounced like sack.

 

[m8h3r]

Thought so, didn't realise it till 10 mins ago but assumed it was that.

 

[Dan]

I really don't like having to sign off PSN just to play this frickin game. Ugh. I hate launch week bugs.

Noticed as soon as I read it. And it's not the first time they did it. Remember horse betting in SA? Most of the horse names were names for genitalia(sp?). Cheeky bastards.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Tried unsuccessfully 5 times now to get a fighter jet from the military base. Ugh.

edit: 6 times...

I got it in my first try online, and managed to escape.
The 2nd time... I got shot by 4 missles.

You just have to fly in a helicopter right up to the hangar as fast as possible. I actually thought it was easy

Despite Beverly, Stretch and Steve's deaths, I can still call them and they will even answer. Did Rockstar noticed this one?

7 times.

I give up.

Use the invincibility cheat code, get the jet, miss the two-three missiles, quick save the game before the jet goes out and load it up again. Your jet should now be fixed (thanks Chris 👍) and you've started a new session, so the cheat doesn't affect any trophies.

Edit: Here's Chris' video of the last bit;

[...]

I didn't even use the invincibility cheat code for that. Just the quick save load game thingy.

Oh, it wasn't my meaning to make it sound like you used the cheat, Chris, so sorry about that. I just got my jet that way, since I didn't have any access to a helicopter. 👍

EDIT:
When taking off stay low to stay under the radar and out of sight for their AA guns.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I only made it off the ground once.

 

[jacnob]

I'm about to make a run at getting the jet; wish me luck.

EDIT: The Comet is a good car to attempt to drift in.


EDIT 2: Why do the cops keep getting called on Trevor for taking a cab

He most likely has no money to pay the fare, which is why that usually happens.

When I can finally get on GTAO, I sincerely hope I can do this online. Oh my god! PROFANITY WARNING


Forget the guy that parked a Truffade Adder on the roof of a building. This guy just won GTA V!

 

[m8h3r]

Me and my mate have tried to get a jet and failed loads of times on and offline. He came the closest.

We was online and both in there, me giving him some cover and he got to the jet when I died. When I respawned I saw him take off, being followed by a couple of the army jets.

He then screamed "I'M IN A JET!!", 3 seconds later "Bendubz has died". I nearly cried from laughter as he raged at it.
