My god. And how large is that?

The entire golf course. Cheapest I saw was a house starting at $80,000. After that they range, most being between $250,000 and $750,000. There are several at $10, $20 and $30 million with the golf course being the most at $150 million.


That said, I'm in 13 hours and roughly 24% complete. That with a bit of screwing around, robbing stores, story missions, heists, property purchases etc.

And cars, too. It's a good idea to go to LSC.

Wait a minute, where is Nightride FM? The station that was supposed to be all-Kavinsky songs?

If it does come later in the game, just reply with "yes." Don't tell me how I to get it.

 

[Speedy6543]

I thought that this was an in-game app?

Me too at first but then I saw this at the Rockstar site in the news section of GTA V.

The iFruit Mobile Application

When Lester said there was an Eastern European guy making moves in Liberty City, was he making a reference to a past GTA character? (Niko) I don't think this has been done before.

It has.

In San Andreas where you first meet Ken Rosenberg and you start to clear out the warehouse of enemies, Ken mentions Tommy Vercetti and CJ says "who the **** is Tommy?"

And also CJ calls Claude from GTA 3 a "mute a**hole".

I don't think it's there at all, sadly.

I did a ? mission last night, and wound helping Packie McCreary from GTA IV, and will be able to have him help me on a mission.

So last night I put in GTAV and done the install etc. My god. I could not believe it [GTAV] was here (and still can't)...

That said, I'm very, very disappointed by the handling of the cars in game. I wasn't expecting a simulator, but IV's physics tweaked a bit would've been nice. I can turn a giant tow truck around a tight turn near max speed...

Speaking of characters reappearing,

Spoiler

Johnny Klebitz, from IV TLAD, also appears in one of Trevors missions.

Spoiler

He's actually killed by Trevor...

There's possibly a lot more to come, I guess.

I finally got my blimp-code working, and I'm now 26% through the game after ten hours.

I was really disappointed from the early videos which showed the handling had changed quite a bit. However, now that I'm playing the game it actually feels "right" for some reason.

The physics in GTA IV suited the pace of the game and the physics in GTA V fit the pace this time around. I imagine it was quite a hard decision for Rockstar to change it since they knew that whatever they did would create a backlash from either side of their fan base.

The cars do grip better, no doubt, but I think the width of the roads has something to do with it, it's much easier to take corners at speed in V, because the roads seem wider and there's less roadside stuff to hit, IMO at least.

Has anyone figured out how to download the "ifruit app" to train chop?

We must be playing 2 different games, then. The heavy, industrial size vehicles still carry a lot of weight to them.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Maybe I'll get used to the physics. When I drove that tow truck though, it was only for a minute or so and maybe I should've driven it more before I said anything.

Also, found the Veyron Supersport equivalent parked on a street. Stole it and it's in my garage now.

Pick up your iPhone, press the App Store Icon, search 'iFruit' (make sure its the Rockstar Games one), press 'download', enter your apple ID password if required, wait for it to install. Press the new iFruit icon on your iPhone, Enter your R* Id, link it to you PSN... and roberts yer fathers brother.



.. if only I could remember my PSN password..

I was a bit concerned at the driving when I first started playing, but 6 or so hours later of gameplay and I think it works really well.

Though, it turns out I can't land a plane. It took me about 5 tries I think

Try a bigger plane.

The Coquette, right? I haven't seen one my entire game.

IIRC its a Grotti Carbonarre (something like that, I know I have it wrong). Kinda screams Scion FR-S mashed up with Ferrari and maybe a little bit of Solstice rear end. But with the Ferrari performance.


I was wondering, does Franklin's car exist forever? I've parked it in the garage and it spawns outside in the driveway. If I leave it somewhere does it always return (or at least get impounded?), and what if its destroyed?

Does anyone know where I can find the 'Blista Compact'? Haven't found it yet .

Sadly it isn't in the game I think. The VW Scirocco lookalike is the new Blista.
Also has anyone found the lawn mower yet? It was listed in the BradyGames guide, and I've yet to find it.

 

[TheCracker]

I've had them coming out of my ears so far. Looks more like a a Civic EP3 then a first gen CRX as it did in GTAIV

 

[Ryanswannell]

I love the sound of Micheal's Audi rip-off. It sounds gorgeous

Anyone done the flying school yet? The first helicopter one is really difficult for me to get gold, even with Trevor.

I would try around the Vinewood-sign, as I remember there was one in a garden there in SA... I've yet to explore that part myself though.

I'll give it a shot. I'll let you know if i find it or not. Someone on GTAForums recalls seeing one in Sandy Shores but I think he might've gotten confused with the older generation Caddy.

 

[TheCracker]

Came across mine during Simeon's first mission. Just in his rear parking lot. Seen them all over since. I guess it's just a random selection thing.

Cool, won't hesitate to get something else soon. What if you modify it and blow it up, still modified when it returns?
