Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
I figure none of the hired crew is the best - certainly not at math. What kind of crew is ok with deducting half the take for some weird previous debt of one of the members? Or did the contract stipulate that the gunman gets 15% after the one guy pays off his mortgage and Mastercard?

So... I am not seeing this overly aggressive police in the game, in regards to stealing a car, driving around without changing the plates, going through red lights, speeding, etc.
I do see them being stupid and trying to arrest you over stupid things like standing too close or talking to them.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
I am 65% done and i have to admit i am getting tired of completing missions only to get stiffed on payment. I presume the last big missions will pay serious money, but it still gets irritating after a while. I have been buying places and investing in stocks to boost money which is working ok at the moment. Still a long way off being able to buy the$150 million golf course.

I've hit 5 or 6 of these armored trucks.

I will say that tho even it is easy getting stars, I am having success shaking the cops, even the 3 star with the helicopters..I usally ditch them by going places that they can not go, or that there is no traffic (train tracks, the water, under bridges etc)

They should have used a Jack Nicholson voice for Trevor.

It gets better. I really hated the driving at first (voiced it in this thread), but I think it's a combination of the cars you get and your characters driving skills improving, it just gets easier to control. I still have issues with it, but it's barely even a complaint at this point. Now driving while shooting, that's a different story. That shit is flat out impossible, not sure what they were thinking.

I was all over the place filming that actress, but passed without issues. I wondered how accurate you had to be with that to fail the mission.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
So the game gives you the option (I assume after to many failures) to press X for skip.
Does that mean I will skip over this mission and miss some of the story? Or what?

Yeah that was quite nice. Still trying to decide how to invest. That stock hasn't really moved for me. Also, I was told to buy low sell high (duh). Does that mean I should buy

stock after
in anticipation of a comeback? Too bad you can't short stocks in this game.

The assassination missions (that Lester gives to Franklin) are the ones where you can really get some nice profits.
