Well I just got the Three Man Army trophy.

You have to get all 3 characters together outside of a mission, which isn't as easy as it seems. They don't all want to hang out at the same time!

Then you have to survive on a 3-star wanted level for 3 minutes. That was fun, I let them chase us down the beach, then headed to the LS River, then back to the streets, when the damn thing finally popped. Found a hiding spot, got the heat off of us, then went and got drunk.

Good times.

Funny thing right before that. When I switched to Trevor, he was in the back room of the strip club. I beat up the guards back there and actually made my way on stage. No way to dance on the pole though. I could whip out my weapons, but there were no strippers around, just dudes.

It's subtle, but the property you can't buy the $ icon will be shaded grey instead of white.

I am on 10% in after just over 8 hours of game play. I am loving the ability to change between characters especially during the jewel heist job. Really nice addition to the series. It is also often interesting to just change to see what situation the other character is in.

The funniest line I have heard so far and I keep saying it in real life is when Franklin calls for the blimp: "Blimp. I needa' blimp!"

Yes, it's a side mission to discover the mystery over who killed a woman named Lenora Johnson, I believe.

So I might have missed something:

Spoiler:
After the jewel heist when Franklin visits Micheal some guy walks in and starts complaining and turns on the tv that Trevor sees.
1) Who was that guy?
2) What did Trevor see on the tv that made me think Micheal was still alive?
3) Also saw a walkthrough online where Trevor in the cut scene has a beard and looks all Charlie Manson. But in my version he looks different. Whats up with that?

Spoiler:
Trevor hears the guard say what Michael told him about forgetting a thousand things every day and remembers Michael said movie quotes all the time. I think. As for Trevor's look, just hit the barber and tattoo parlor.

Is there anywhere to get health and food, besides safe houses and the one lone carry out I found so far? Can't find any fast food places, and none of the hot dog stands work.

Okay, seriously? None of you assholes know hot to turn off the in-game notifications about the fucking iFruit app? Again, why do they assume everyone has an iPhone? Don't more people own Android phones these days anyways? I guess I'm just bothered by what's essentially in-game advertising, and that no one else seems to be bothered by it. Imagine getting a pop-up during any other game about downloading shit to your device, and not being able to turn it off. How is this any different?

I've been seeing photos of a zombie on Alta St. -- I've yet to be able to find it ... anyone find where he is?

Wow... because the camera is connected to the Social Lounge, I failed a mission because I couldn't take a fucking picture....

Doesn't bother me.

I wondered about this, when the game started I was messing around and took a pic with the phone and it wouldnt save because I dont have the online crap. So does that mean you are stuck at that part of the game?

It eventually connected so I could take the picture, not sure if it gave me the option to cancel the mission like the other ones do.

Same for me. I haven't downloaded any apps to my iDevice and I also haven't seen those notifications since the first day of playing.

1) The guy is Micheal's FIB contact. He made his career by "killing" Micheal 10 years earlier.

Who else accidentally fires off their guns when trying to change the radio station while driving a car? I had the stripper named Infernus with Trevor and was taking her home for a bang. I accidentally popped off a few rounds and she jumped out of the car. I had already taken her home with Franklin.

The more i am playing this game the more i am liking it. Not a fan of the rampages, a coupke of the missions and flying is still horrible. But its still a solid game.

I do that all the time!

In dealing with stocks; I bought a shitload of shares from redwood after an assassination mission. Stock went back up and I made a great return. So when stock dropped again i bought a bunch more hoping for the same result. It went up again but i wasn't paying attention and it dropped again pretty quick. So my question is am i fucked? If the stock rises again will my shares still reflect that?

No doubt. I hate the flying. It still hasn't improved over the years. I hope there aren't too many forced flying missions. I've ran in to one and that was enough for me.

Not me, I dive out of the car/airplane while they are still moving instead, usually with terrible results

I do this all the time..(as well as Infernus)...what game uses the LB button to change the radio station? It has to be another open world game..

So I finished the main story. 30 hours. I have a bunch of side missions to do, but not sure how many I will do of them if most of them are just bounty/tow missions (anyone do enough stranger missions know if they unlock longer more complex missions later?)

Amazing game when you stick with the main story, but as I said earlier VERY frustrating as well. The highs are as good as anything ever made...and the lows as frustrating as anything I have ever played. Bioshock is still my favorite game this year, but I have to admit that once I just focused on the main missions this game moved up my list. The last few missions were amazing, and I LOVED the ending.

very minor spoiler about ending..nothing major given away just a general feeling about what happens

Spoiler:
You are given a choice..of three endings and it was nice actually feeling like your choice played out how you wanted it to...unlike say Mass Effect 3
