Went up Chiliad on a quad bike.

TIL do not go up Chiliad on a quad bike unarmed. Mountain lion almost went Red Dead Redemption on me.

Help him. He offers his services later in the game.

Also there's one encounter where you catch someone stealing a motorcycle from a guy. Get it back to its owner. A few days later he e-mails you that SPOILER: he's the CEO of an organic pet food startup and he gives you $100K in stocks. Make sure you read the e-mail and realize it, I thought it was spam at first.

Yeah I helped Packie. I was laughing my butt off at the stuff he was saying.

$25K infinitely respawning briefcase here. Dive, collect, switch characters, switch back, it respawns. Can be done without scuba, but it's risky (though switching characters then switching back refills your oxygen meter.)

Scuba gear here if you need it. Look for a black rubber dinghy. If it's not there, keep reloading or leave and come back until it spawns. Steal it, and you'll put on the scuba gear when you get out of it.

Just got Lester's assassination missions. This is the part of the game where you get PAID.

If he mentions a company's stock is going to rise as a result of doing a mission, back out of the mission, have all 3 people dump all their money into that stock, then do the mission. When you're done, save in bed once or twice, then check the stock market. Once your stock is up about 80 percent or so, go ahead and sell.

You can actually manipulate the stocks through actions in the game. You can say, buy stock in FlyUS, then go to the airport and blow up every non - FlyUS plane, wait a bit and watch FlyUS stock go up.

So it's the reverse of Casino Royale?

I've heard mixed results on that. People go to the Cluckin' Bell distribution center, blow up all the trucks, and the stock barely even moves. Neither does their rival company's stock.

Supposedly the LCN is related to your own game, and the BAWSAQ is related to the actions of all other GTA players in the world.

Okay, getting gold on the shooting range is going to be flat-out impossible. I cannot manual aim with analog sticks to save my life. I need a mouse, and even then it's iffy. This is why I don't play Call of Battlefield Honor Gears Army 'Murica Black Silent Secret Ops Duty of War.

At least bronze isn't too hard.

ETA: Didn't think of using Michael and his bullet time. Was using Franklin to try to boost his shooting stat.

Don't you have to do it with all 3?

Trevor is easily one of the best video game characters. Just putting that out there.

PSA: Do not pull a gun on someone in South Central. I think my record is 10 steps.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread VII: The 7th Generation Comes To A Close

I'm about 25% done with GTA V story mode. Just finished the torture mission last night (gold!).

I'm excellent at tennis and golf but fairly crappy at flying so far.

Best thing about the new FIFA? Patrick Stewart does the voiceover of the intro! PATRICK STEWART!

Do the flight school. It boosts your character's flying stat to pretty much full.
