GTA V - General Thread

You can get arrested offline, but not online. You lose all your weapons if you get arrested, I think.

You keep the weapons but loose the ammo.

Bah, getting frustrated with the Knife Flights again. I've flown under all fifty bridges, and now I've completed thirteen of the fifteen Knife Flights, mostly by luck. But there is nothing in the game to indicate where they are, and no way of keeping track of which ones you have finished. So most of my time is spent randomly flying around trying to guess where I should be, and crashing sooner rather than later.

This is what I used to finish them off. The description on youtube lists the timestamps for each one. I just went through them all instead of trying to figure out which ones I didn't have.

I'll be honest and say I did not know there were knife flight missions outside of the piloting school. /CallmeDerp

Now that I know of these, I'm going to try the bigger ones with a Titan.

Can these be completed online?

I believe so but it probably just rewards XP.

Oh. :/

Anybody else noticed the cockpit on the PS4 trailer? The speedo actually moves. Hopefully this means the steering wheel will actually move too...

No more stupid hand animations?

 

[Dan]

I sure hope so.

It'll make the first-person-view mod more interesting when it comes out.

Thanks, but it's not much help. I can't watch videos on my mobile without chewing through downloads, and even if I could, I still have only a vague idea of which ones I have done.

If only Rockstar had had the foresight to include some kind of markers to show where you can do Knife Flights and/or tell you when you have repeated one, as they did with the stunt jumps.

I'd link a map for knife flights, but I originally tried to do it based on a map and it was impossible to tell where each one was being pointed out at. Only need 8 knife flights for 100% as it is, if that's what you're going for. I found it strange that 100% doesn't actually mean 100%.

Maps alone aren't enough. I've found plenty online, but all they tell you is generally where you need to be. In high-density areas, there's often multiple possibilities, and sometimes your altitude affects whether or not you pass it.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I give up on the Knife Flights. For now, I'm going to go an cause some chaos. I've found that if you jump in the flatbed carriage of the freight train, you can survive on five stars for a good half-hour if you time it right.

 

[yabiggoose]

Make sure to take cover.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Of course. The problem is that eventually you go under Power Street - by the time you come out of the tunnel, you have lost your wanted level.

I have a disturbing thought...I think I may be a "hipster"... I'm wearing a Thundercats T-shirt, I haven't really combed my hair today, and I drive a Honda Fit! Help!!

I just set a new personal best for the longest time with a five-star wanted level of forty minutes ... but it felt pretty cheap. I parked a tank in the UFO playground and just shot at anything that came near me. The AI isn't terribly bright when trying to take you down - they just charge at you via the most direct route, then circle around on foot. So all you need to do is to back the tank into a cul-de-sac to protect the rear end and then shoot the fish as they come into the barrel.

UFO playground?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

UFO playground?

Near Sandy Shores

 

[Ken]

UFO playground?

Area 53.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

UFO playground?

That brightly-coloured thing in the middle of the Grand Senora Desert, just east of the place where Trevor occasionally buries The Lost bikers when you cut to him. It's covered in messages to aliens, and once you get 100%, you can fly a helicopter to the altitude limit and find a UFO.

Or salvation hill in real life

 

[Dan]

Ok. Thanks, everyone.

I just had the best chase ever, and I so wish I had been recording it.

I started out on top of the Maze Bank, just mucking around, when I shot down the Atomic Blimp and got a three-star wanted level for it. I base jumped off the tower, nicked a motorcycle, and led the police on a merry chase south. We went into the train tunnels, coming out at the LSIA terminal. I somehow jumped up onto the platform, rode the bike through the station, and then out onto the tarmac. I led the police to the hangar and nearly got hit by a jet as it landed. I swapped the bike for a Cuban 800 and tried to escape, but took heavy damage and had to glide down onto the bridge near Fort Zancudo. With the police coming in from both sides, I jumped off the bridge into the marshes, nicked a police boat and went upriver as far as I could go. I ambushed an army patrol that was looking for me, stole their jeep and raced back around the western end of the base. The chase ended at Paleto Cove, as I drove off the lookout and dived into the water with police helicopters, the army and NOOSE chasing me. I escaped in the dinghy, and avoided the police by diving over the site if the crashed Titan. It was full of mad driving and cars exploding everywhere. It felt like a real action film.

 

[R5]

I love the getting away on a dinghy

Just a hilarious image

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I chose it because I made a wrong turn; I was aiming for Raton Canyon and Mount Chiliad. I was going to try and fight a helicopter from on top of the cable car. But I took the turn beforehand, and wound up at the sonar dock. Crash through the barriers, bail out mid-air, then nick the dinghy and use the scuba gear to escape. Lots of explosions, jumps, police and the Michael Bay factor. Personally, my favourite part was riding through the LSIA terminal just in time to see a police car get creamed by a train.

Found this comparison video

This has just made me want to jump to ps4 , The reason I haven't got a 4 yet is because of gta5. When I played the game technically its the pinnacle of what the old gen could do and to say I was impressed how rich and detailed the game is playing it down a lot. I just love the detail of the place and with an updated version a lough we have to buy it again. I most defiantly will

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Am I the only one who tried to pop open the safe in Fleeca's HQ?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I've discovered The Lowdown 91.1, which is fantastic when you're cruising around in a Stinger or a Monroe. Ironically, "Cruisin'" is a horrible song, completely out of place in GTA V. "I Get Lifted" and especially "Hercules" are fantastic, though.

 

[Dan]

Am I a hipster for enjoying most of the songs on Radio Mirror Park?

 

[Daniel]

You're just as hipster as Trevor.
