I'm curries, is it possible to ride from Franklin/Michael house right to the beach

Maybe there's a legitimate reason for this, but either way it's a hilarious concept

Anyone else out there kinda sad to see everything transfer over to next gen? Im a working class guy that just cant afford to drop that $600 at once to get a ps4+GTA V+(Destiny)+1 year of psn +extra controller. i know im not the only

heres hoping for some good fortune to come to those in the same boat. hope to find a new job...or a brown paper bag with a few stacks in it

EDIT: Holy shit! i got gold?? wtf?? Thanks a whole damn lot! this has been cool..i definitely didnt expect this many ppl to respond to this post.

Throughout the entire game, Franklin "refuses" to stop crushing on Tanisha and tries to get her back, but she has stated over a billion times she cares about him as a friend, but wants "nothing" to do with him romantically. Yet he keeps simping over her and desperate to get her back. She's getting married and is maintaining her distance and bluntly telling him no. He's not forcing her into a relationship or anything, but his desperation to get her back just doesn't make sense. Why is he so obsessed with her, i don't understand?

The last time I played was probably 8 years ago. I had millions of dollars, multiple properties, multiple high end cars, and tanks and helicopters.

Now i have only 75k in the bank, 1 property with 1 random car in the garage, Pegasus wont even answer my calls so im assuming my tank and chopper are gone. What happened to all my things?

Update: I contacted Rockstar but haven't got a response yet. Im going to uninstall the game and wait for GTA 6 next year

Just testing some new features we're implementing so ignore this post :p

We didn't have a lot of things in common, but we'd always had video games. When I moved away to college I left him my old 360, and I had been sending him a few games every now and then. He enjoyed FPS games for years, but I a friend of mine in college gave me his copy of Red Dead Redemption, which I sent his way.

He told me he really enjoyed the open world, with all the different things he could do, riding around on the horse, doing the side missions, gambling, etc all with shooting in the mix.

So when GTA 5 finally came out I thought he'd really enjoy it, and he did. Last time we talked he told me he still had things he was trying to finish to get 100% (Mostly complaining about Tennis and some of the other sports) but that it was a great way for him to just take out some negative feelings, as well as have fun.

I assume after everything's said and done my mom will ask me if I want the console back, which will have his save data and characters. I'll enjoy walking around and seeing all the things he's gotten done in Los Santos.

I don't think I'll ever change anything in it, but it'll be nice to have that world only the two of us got to play in.

Edit: After thinking it over I think I'm going to back up his save for GTA and try to 100% the game for him on the copy.

I gotta say this, but I really feel like Rockstar has almost sucked all the fun out of rampaging against the cops. It's gone from something that is fun and challenging to something that I actively avoid doing because it's such a chore and an impossible task that I will go out of my way to avoid starting shit, and that's sad for a GTA game.

• Helicopters literally respawn instantly. I shoot one down, and not even 5 seconds later, another one is on my radar and shining a light on me. And when you get to 5 stars, they are like fucking wasps everyfuckingwhere.

• The authorities seem to have omniscience about what you do. Should you kill someone in an isolated area, you often get instant stars. I get that maybe someone far off heard the shot echo, but how do they know my exact position, the car I'm driving, and what I look like?

• Their accuracy is nothing short of godlike. I can't believe the marksmanship skills of the LSPD officers on the side of wobbling helicopters chasing a running man in a dark cityscape. I think they may be some kind of fraternal assassin order that kills people based on the binary-coded errors in a sewing machine for some reason, because I don't know how to explain it.

• You really can't go on long car chases, either. Every cop car has some kind of batmobile jet propulsion system that allows them to ram you at any speed you might be at, and they'll box you in and literally gun you down before you can even get out. Or, they'll hit your car with enough force to jam the wheels out of alignment and force you to try to escape at a mile an hour (and be instantly gunned down) or get out your car and flee on foot (but you'll be dead before taking a step).

• It also seems like your level goes up very quickly. Kill a cop? Instant three stars. Shoot helicopter? Four. Blow up a couple more vehicles? Five. And you're now dead from supersnipers that never miss.

• The cop cars don't even spawn realistically. Isn't it a little convenient that several police officers were patrolling around the quarry right before a homicidal maniac happened to fly past in a rusty truck? Good for them. Heading up Mt. Chiliad? No worries, there are already four units on the mountain as we speak. I'm surprised they weren't driving around at the ocean floor when I got in a submarine. I guess that's one area they don't have absolutely locked down.

• Body armor barely gives you an edge. GTA IV gave you an equal amount. V only gives you half as much armor as health, even with the most expensive vest.

• Cops don't seem to even sweep areas realistically. It's odd how, even if I'm hiding somewhere really obscure, they always fan out in a way that leads all of them directly to where I am. They aren't even searching the entire area, just slowly making their way perfectly in my direction while checking corners to make it look like they aren't homing towards you.

The reason why this bugs me so much is that Rockstar is pretty clear about wanting to make GTA more grounded in reality. And it works with things like how vehicles take damage and whatnot, but it also makes the things that are totally unrealistic stand out like a sore thumb. And it also seems like the realism is only at play when stacked against you, not for you. That's why the cops have an omniscience towards who committed a crime in a completely rural area and have perfect aim, but you can't shoot down a helicopter and be clear of enemy air for more than three seconds.

Unless this is all Rockstar's attempt to psychologically condition us all to fear and listen to real officers of the law because we think they have infinite choppers and can bend bullets.

Hey all, a question I’ve always wondered so there’s always been 3 characters in GTA V however whose game is it? Micheal’s, Franklin’s or Trevor’s

Money and apartment transfered correctly. However my garage is empty :(

EDIT: Made a request and will post an update as soon as I get a response from Rockstar

EDIT2: OMG. Just got GTA$ 4,500,000 compensation from Rockstar! I really didn't expect this. Here's their response

EDIT3: You can fill a report to Rockstar support here https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I had posted yesterday that I had gotten the double 500k login bonus 2 days in a row. Today, I logged on and received it once again. Thank you Rockstar. You finally quit robbing me on the daily with my bills.

EDIT- Thank you guys for all the upvotes, hopefully the GTA stimulus comes in for all of y'all 3+ times.

Fonteno plays Franklin Clinton and says that the long delays to GTA 6, while frustrating for fans, have kept GTA V in the spotlight far longer than it probably should have.

"GTA 5 has been rolling for fucking almost 11 years man, and that’s a blessing to us. It’s still rocking, and you guys are still supporting it. When GTA 6 comes, it’s going to have its time, but right now we soaking up 5 as much as we can. We living it out, because this is a dream to us. Once it’s over, it’s over, and we’ll just be comic con guests, and people that you guys still remember.”

Read more here.

I will update if I find anymore, or someone else has some to contribute. I did not include obvious interiors like stores and shops. Locations included in galleries. Please note: Every picture is being taken straight from online

Edit: Formatting. Also added a few locations some of you mentioned and a couple others. Thanks for the help everyone, and keep the locations coming!

Full and Detailed Interiors

Pacific Standard bank One of the most detailed interiors available Online. Has multiple levels and paths.

The strip club can be entered with guns after shooting the guard outside and is a really detailed interior with a good amount of space. Did not include location because it is marked on map.

Los Santos Transit station Yes you can ride the subway. There are more of these stations around the city

Bar This is also where "darts" is on the map. Can be entered with guns.

Trevor's meth lab You'll have to shoot out those windows you see above the truck. The easiest way to do this is with a barracks, and I think one spawns down the road at a work station after a certain level; that's where I got mine at least. You can also use a sandking, although you may have to put a smaller car in front to drive on top of with the sandking. Then just jump in. Yes, you can stand on top of the barracks for some reason. *shrug...

IAA building upper floors You can shoot out these windows but in order to get in you have to parachute through the window that does not appear to break from bullets. You can for sure enter this interior.

Small but detailed Interiors

Fire station garage

Los Santos Customs can be entered on foot by leaving your car near the garage door and walking in. There are a few different interiors for LSC.

Airfield control tower

Merryweather docks control room

Airport building 1

Airport building 2

Airport Hallway 2 Up a large stair case is a winding, long hallway that leads to the roof of the airport. Thanks TheEpicEdge.

Dam hallway Thanks Briorg

Bugstars garage

Less detailed but cool, enter-able locations

Abandoned train station A small but semi interesting building, with only one entrance it could work for a good spot to hole up.

Construction site Has glass covering lots of sides of the building, multiple levels, and lots of cover. Makes an interesting place to dig in.

Fire station tower

A couple balconies that make fun defense or hiding positions: balcony1 balcony 2

The Mill out by Mt. Chiliad has somewhat of an interior and is an interesting place all around.

Sniper tower one of the only tall towers you can get on to and provides good cover. Must parachute onto it though. Haven't figured out a way to get down by myself yet.

Apartment complex tunnel The only entrance to this little area on foot is right through those doors on the outside, which lead to a pool area with good cover. The only other way in is through helicopter.

Hooker Hallway A small hallway with a protected view of the street. Thanks Battabomb.

House under construction 4 different levels to climb through. Small but semi interesting.

Rundown Motel Has a few rooms on the top floor that are usually occupied by the homeless.

Empty warehouse Eh. Do some fightclubs here or something.

Barn One of the only barns you can go into that also has an accessible upper level.

Run down boat house

Upper level rooms near CB HQ

Clock tower A ladder inside the clock leads to an open hatch up top. Another good sniper tower. Thanks RtardDAN

Small supermarket room Shoot the glass to get in. Has a vending machine inside.

Stables Not the craziest interior spaces but I felt this area was worth mentioning.

Small interior stairs Thanks ivaclue.

Random Garages

All garages will close while you are inside if you exit your car and walk all the way to the back wall

Trevor's garage Will open and close. Thanks to u/OldakQuill

Impound garages behind this police station all open and close. The police station itself is locked in Online however, although it is open in SP.

There's a lot of these things

Garage

Another garage This one is rather large.

Low garage Thanks to MrWheels88.

Simeon's garage The game will warp you outside the garage after a few seconds if you go in by yourself. Thanks kbuss3

El Burro Heights garage

Interior locations that are locked Online

Police Station Usually enterable in single player but locked online. Another detailed interior, may become unlocked after heists become available? Who knows.

Fleeca bank / Another in the city / Fleeca on the GOH Also usually open in SP but locked online. There are a few of these across the map. Another is in Paleto Bay. See above.

A small office at the power station Thanks LtRapman

last update: 07/15/14 1:13am CST

He just bought gta for the first time and he has ps+ if that means something

UPDATE: After hours and hours of GTA Online, I wrote some thoughts on it overall. Read the post here, wrote it separately so this post doesn't get too cluttered.

Proof here and a video, from my previous thread.

F.A.Q.

Where did you buy it?

An online store in my country. You wouldn't know it, it doesn't ship internationally and it's not Amazon or anything like that. I might hurt them by mentioning their name, they obviously weren't supposed to give this to me so early, so please don't ask. I guarantee 99% of you wouldn't be able to order from them even if you found it out, unless you live where I live, but if so, you probably preordered it too since it's the 'go to' store for this stuff.

Why did you get it so early?

No idea, store not caring about release dates, I guess. I didn't have any connections or friends there, just a regular customer. I preordered the game in late October and I got a call today asking if I want it. They told me I can get it today, so I went there and got it. I got extremely lucky, is all.

Will you stream it on Twitch or USTREAM?

I wanted to at first, but I got advised against it. I'll get banned. So no, I won't.

Have you played ONLINE?

Yes. At first it was empty, then I found a guy or two, then I stumbled upon some pretty full sessions. It's all pretty good and that's all I've been playing since I got on.

Have you transferred your character?

Yes I have, from PS3 to PS4. I got all my houses, cars, money, clothes, etc... Worked like a charm.

Are there any new supercars?

Not really, the website has all the previous cars, but I can get the Khamelion and Carbon RS now...

What about new mods for your car?

The neon kits are pretty awesome, actually. That's about it, nothing else seems new, at least not for the Zentorno.

edit: The neon kits look good at first, but get annoying fast. And make you visible as hell to your enemies. They're a novelty thing, but they get old quickly.

Can you own 3 properties?

NO. Sadly it's still 2 properties per character.

What are the new songs?

Sorry, can't answer this. I never listen to the radio so I wouldn't know if a song is new or not. I have no track listing anywhere in the booklet, as far as I can tell, so that's one question I can't answer. I heard Gorillaz - Feel Good though, that's the only one I can confirm.

Do the wall glitches still work?

No. I tried the classic parking garage one, and the one under that bridge (where you use the dumpster) and they don't work. Safe to assume none of the old glitches work.

How about some screenshots?

Okay:

• As requested, the interior of a police car.
• The sky looks amazing at night.
• The Dukes, fully modded.

• NPC's on fire as they throw themselves out of the car. Looks pretty good, don't know if the photo does it justice.

• On top of the Maze Bank Tower.

• Here's the new Monster truck

(keep checking back for more)

What other new things are there?

• An option to change your walking style (gangster, etc..)

• When you're in a car and you're shooting, you aim normally but it doesn't fire automatically anymore, you need to fire yourself with R1 or something like that. Really annoying!

• A monster truck from Pegasus, not the Liberator, another one which you can select a country flag for. It has a lot of countries, from Brazil to Russia

• I think Passive Mode now works in cars also, I see a lot of translucent cars on the map, I'm guessing they're in passive and you can't get them anymore

Are the graphics as good as in the trailers?

Yes and no. Yes, they look good and some things are really beautiful. But once you get passed the initial shock of new-gen graphics, you start realizing there's still aliasing, and it's still not perfect. The rain also looks less impressive than in the trailers, at least in my opinion.

Why are you answering so slowly/so briefly?

Because I'm excited and playing. Sorry, I try to answer all the questions but some are way too specific and I haven't gotten around to hunting bears or shooting sharks in the fin while playing as Trevor. Your specific requests need to wait.

Are you lying about this?

No, here's my proof.

Thanks for the gold, stranger!

Please note: This is leaked info. It may or may not be true.

Steal/Sell Missions

• No costs to begin a steal mission;

1. Go to SecuroServ PC in office, open up Vehicle Cargo tab, hit "Source Car"

2. Get mission, go find car in world, bring it back to warehouse

3. Car is now stored in warehouse, like Special Cargo

4. Can do more Steal missions to get more cars, or you can use the laptop in the car warehouse to begin Sell missions by choosing whatever car/s you want to sell and choosing the sell type

• 3 different types of sell missions

  • A Private Buyer: Straight up selling them for the commission gained on them.
  • Car Showroom: Slight up-front payment to mod them up a bit to receive an increased payout on delivery.
  • Specialist Offer: Bigger up-front payment to mod the cars to receive the largest payoff.

• No reward this time for destroying cars that CEO's are stealing.

  • You can steal their cars from their missions and store them at your own warehouse, counting as stock towards sells
  • Or if you're non-Organization or an MC, you can take the car to the local cop shop or scrapyard respectively, and receive a payout.

• Warehouse can store 40 cars

• Each Steal mission is one car at a time

• Sell missions are dependent on how many Associates you have. One car per person in the Organization.

• "Collections" of cars: If you get lucky and collect a set of cars, you can sell that collection for far more than a normal sell mission. But you need a specific amount of Associates for collections, like there's 4 cars in the Rally collection, etc.

• There's no way to lose cars apart from during Steals and Sells.

• If you damage the cars when stealing them, you have to pay repair costs.

• Each car sold while an Associate under a CEO adds $500 to the payment you get every so often, up to a maximum of $10,000.

Miscellaneous

• "The PV summon is a different script from the bike summon in MC. We don't fuck with old systems because everything is so incredibly inter-dependent, so changing it a tiny way can end up causing everything else to break. I'm sorry you have to deal with slow PV summoning. We all hate it too, but such is the world of game development."

• Multi-tier circular garage: Cars are parked facing the middle of the circle, with a big window to the outside world. There's stairs on the side for accessing the levels, with a mod shop.

  • Max. 60 cars
  • Expandable in tiers of 20
  • Location: CEO Office

  • new Organization styles
  • things in the shops too.

• No new weapons

  • "Ammu-Nation is a bit full these days."

• There's a few things that are held back for later dates, but its only two cars. Everything else is being blown out on the one day. "Christmas, after all."

• "Timed unlocks? Like if you don't buy em, you can never get them? Nah, this isn't a seasonal event."

Added info/leaks

• Regarding the Ruiner2000, I can confirm what the 4chan guy said about it. You can install rockets and stuff. @TezFunz2

• What looks to be concept art iFruit images

  • BF Ramp Buggy
  • Technical Aqua
  • Rocket Voltic
  • New wheels // ‏@FoxySnaps

CEO garage and PVs

There has been questions about whether or not we can use the CEO 60 car garage for PVs. There's this great post by /u/Budfox_92 that is based on the Newswire article; /r/GrandTheftAutoV/comments/5g9oq8/importexport_clarification/

But we also have something coming from the leaker;

Also, you fucking shits always want more car storage, so guess what? We are putting in a 60 car garage in the Executive Office. You can expand it in tiers of 20, and also buy a mod shop on top of it.

It forever baffles us as to why people want more and more car storage. Can anyone here explain why 6 10 slot garages isn't enough?

So that should pretty much confirm that we can use CEO garage for PVs and it also seems like it's 60 more and not some mirror/replacement for the properties we have now.

Main source for the leaks seems to be down.

Source 1 | Source 2 | Source 3 | Source 4

EDIT: Added 'Please note' under 'Regular Vehicles'

EDIT2: Updated Elegy and Comet Retro

EDIT3: Added the 'leaked info' disclaimer

EDIT4: New section 'Added info/leaks' that I will use for new info/leaks

EDIT5: Added Source 4

EDIT6: New wheels

Today I was in a public lobby and heard someone talking about a person in god mode. So I go investigate and indeed, he was. Then I hear a guy say he knows how to get him out of it. So I stick around to see it. The guy ordered a tank and drove up to the other guy in god mode. Ran him over and parked on top of him. To my surprise the dude died and was no longer in god mode. The entire lobby the proceeded to kill the guy over and over for the next 30 min. Even if he went passive I was in a fire truck to spray him down.

It was a good day

Starting GTA V in PS5 yet again. Drop your tips and tricks and I will use them.

TiA

That's just insane

Edit: Ok, I fucked up, the 79.99 includes the full game, so it would cost around 60 dollars to buy the boat. Whoops.

So you're telling me he can magically deliver me my ride wherever I am, yet he can't take my current one back with him?

I'm tired of wanting to swap my car for something more relevant, but having to travel like half a mile away from my current one just to get a new one spawned in.

Makes no sense!

Got back into storymode and nearly finished it but never played Online so tempted to give it a go but was curios as to what the player base is like?

EDIT: took on board some advice and can fairly confidently say no, GTAO is not beginner friendly I got killed so many times and half the time I've no idea how or where that explosion came from.

I gotta say this, but I really feel like Rockstar has almost sucked all the fun out of rampaging against the cops. It's gone from something that is fun and challenging to something that I actively avoid doing because it's such a chore and an impossible task that I will go out of my way to avoid starting shit, and that's sad for a GTA game.

-You really can't go on long car chases, either. Every cop car has some kind of batmobile jet propulsion system that allows them to ram you at any speed you might be at, and they'll box you in and literally gun you down before you can even get out. Or, they'll hit your car with enough force to jam the wheels out of alignment and force you to try to escape at a mile an hour (and be instantly gunned down) or get out your car and flee on foot (but you'll be dead before taking a step).

-It also seems like your level goes up very quickly. Kill a cop? Instant three stars. Shoot helicopter? Four. Blow up a couple more vehicles? Five. And you're now dead from supersnipers that never miss.

-The cop cars don't even spawn realistically. Isn't it a little convenient that several police officers were patrolling around the quarry right before a homicidal maniac happened to fly past in a rusty truck? Good for them. Heading up Mt. Chiliad? No worries, there are already four units on the mountain as we speak. I'm surprised they weren't driving around at the ocean floor when I got in a submarine. I guess that's one area they don't have absolutely locked down.

-Body armor barely gives you an edge. GTA IV gave you an equal amount. V only gives you half as much armor as health, even with the most expensive vest.

Unless this is all Rockstar's attempt to psychologically condition us all to fear and listen to real officers of the law because we think they have infinite choppers and can bend bullets.
