Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
How the hell do you make any money in this game? I've seen like one gas station so far, and I guess you can rob them? It's kind of pathetic how few buildings you can actually go into. So far my impression is that this game might be the most overhyped game this generation, which I guess is appropriate since this generation is basically over. I should of known better I guess.
Mostly legit ways to get money, though a few "gamey" suggestions.

I've noticed a total of one gas station so far. It seems like you can't rob any actual stores (like Ammunation, clothing stores, etc)? I've yet to find any of the convenience stores or whatever other ones are actually rob-able. It's amazing how unintuitive this game is. I can't believe some of you are praising it's game design.

On your iphone/ipod/ipad go to settings -> notification center -> then under where it says include find the app. Once you are there change the Alert Style to None, set Badge App Icon and Sounds to Off then scroll a little further down and turn Show in Notification Center Off as well as Show on Lock Screen. At that point it should leave you alone completely. You can remove other apps as well that you didn't realize were active there.
Am I the only one getting these?

But, I don't know if you are, because I can't check the game right now.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
Is there a way to make a custom radio station on ps3? Like if I put some mp3s on the hdd can they be played through the game? I want something to listen to while playing tennis and golf

You can turn off the actual game notifications in the game, like notifications about controls and what to do next, etc. But there's no option to turn off the notifications for the app. Why do they just assume everyone has an iPhone anyways?

Not fucking with anyone, that's how it worked for me. I got a text saying that the order was received and to bring my 'Tornado' by the Customs shop. I did the app before the game came out, no car or vanity plates ever showed at my house/garage, even with me waiting and checking for several play sessions. After a while I received the text mentioned on my prompts. Only after repairing the tornado I brought to the shop did the option to have them perform the customization I chose appear. Once done, every car in my garage/driveway had my chosen license plate. Not sure why it would be a waste of his time to try it, or why you'd assume I'd have been 'fucking with him'.

Brooklyn is right. You drive the car in, fix it, and then there's an option to "process order" after which the license plate and other customization appears.

And I waited and it eventually showed up sitting in my garage (with a text msg) like it was supposed to. I didn't have to do any of that stuff and I also did it on the app before the game came out fwiw.
Because he tried that and it didn't work. Which is probably because of the same reason it isn't in his garage to start with, because the app isn't all that reliable.

I've ditched the cops with a three star rating before, but they do pursue you relentlessly. I was hiding under a bridge, and they stopped their cars and one said "I think he went under there" and they found me.
I eventually lost them in the train yards.
As for the suit thing, I didn't have a suit in my wardrobe either. I ended up buying a $3,000 one. On the first heist I
Oh and I was driving a semi I found on the freeway, just crashing into cars for fun, and I noticed the freeway had the little grooves on the shoulder designed to wake you up if you fall asleep and drift over. Just like we have here in California (and probably other places). It was a nice touch.
Then I crashed my truck into a ditch and couldn't get it out. I was pissed and shot at it, and didn't see the pool of gasoline forming underneath the hole in the fuel tank.
Whoops.
