So is this game worth the 60? I remember caving to the console version of GTA4 and was thoroughly disappointed.

I switched to trevor earlier today and he was on a scooter following another guy on scooter and he was yelling at the guy about being "scooter bros". I kept on following the guy and it went on for like 5 minutes, it was pretty funny.

Settings>Reticle>Switch to "complex" (retarded name for x-hairs lol). Unrustle jimmies? No more white dot.
Oh god I need to try this tonight. Thanks!

I haven't played a console game in 3 years and I caved for this game. I cannot for the life of me figure out how people aim with these fucking controllers with any degree of precision. The shooting range stuff is ridiculous. I could gold all this shit with a mouse and keyboard without even trying, and I can barely bronze some of them with a controller. I've tried messing with the sensitivity and can't find anything that feels right. Oh well.
Pretty much every test except shotguns: Maxing multiplier is the most important part. Get it to 3x ASAP, even if you have to take off-center shots at the first couple of targets. After that, don't lose multiplier. Take your time to aim in the center and memorize how many bullets you need to burst before the target disappears. Also, memorize target locations and manually reload when no targets are up.
MGs: Rapidly tapping fire will keep your shots on center. This is better than bursting for the targets that don't disappear after ~5 bullets.
Single moving pistol target test: Strafe along with the target, don't aim. Makes it easy.
Other pistol tests: Use AP Pistol if possible.

I never play console FPS, and I was still able to get them all done without too much difficulty. Usually needed 3-5 attempts on each.

Oh yeah, do them with Michael first. I believe he has the highest base shooting skill. By the time I was done with all the tests, he was at 100 skill.

Wtf is with the first heist? I chose the stealth approach and the game advises me to choose a crew that is the exact opposite of what is actually the best for the mission.

You're told you should get the expensive driver and hacker, neither of which have any real effect on the outcome at all, and the cheap gunman, who drops a whole bunch of jewelry in the story and then dies a scripted death. You can pick up his bag of loot but you still pay the casualty fee at the end. For the best results, you actually want to choose the cheap driver and hacker and the expensive gunman.

Doing it the way the game implies you should results in 300k for Michael and 60k for Franklin. Doing it the right way gets Michael about 1M and Franklin about 300k. I'm sure cash doesn't matter that much in the long run, but it's still pretty retarded that they mislead you intentionally like that on the very first heist.

Got to play for about 3 hours last night, hit up all the gold challenges at AmmuNation.

Anyone else on PS3 seem to have an issue with the screen "popping" at various times? When I was installing it did it a few times and then a few more times while I was playing...really weird.

EDIT: Upon further searching it might be a problem with my retarded ass TV not knowing what to do with the extra sound channels.

I knew I should have hung my 50" plasma instead of the 32" LCD in my office.
Nevermind, still fuckin did it last night. I'm just going to blame my shitty Seiki TV. Though I can't bitch too much, I got it on black Friday for $150.

I haven't had a chance to play very much (fucking adulthood), but I really like how they have weaved in the first 2 characters.

One thing I had to do though was give Franklin the big ass beard...he just doesn't look right without it. Beard, bald, wife beater, sweatpants...Kimbo Slice.

My Franklin looks like the spitting image of Lenny Kravitz. Low fro and stubble. Which made it all the more funny when I met a certain Stranger who mistook me for a recording artist and said the stuff I had put out lately sucked compared to my earlier stuff.

I took the game-recommended crew, expensive driver and hacker, cheap gunman, and I still netted about 850K for Michael and 280K for Franklin. Little bit less than the possible max, since the gunman did die. I think your haul comes down more to making sure you have the time to break every single jewelry case in the store. When the haul got to about 2.5 million, the game said that the goal had been reached, but I kept smashing stuff and got the haul up to close to 4 million.
