Just been holding my own with 5 stars....20 rounds of bazooka warheads and knocked out 17 choppers...now very dead. Much fun though.

Also picked up a couple going back to a motel and having it away in the back of their car, and also killed by an escaped convicted beside the prison...as well as finding a half naked groom tied to a pole who i had to get to his wedding.

This game is so bizarre its brilliant!

Works after a couple tries, can use a car instead of a bike.

Now have the small attack heli, fighter jet and take saved in hangers 😆

Invested heavily in TacoBomb last night. Then spent ages hanging around outside the Cluckin Bell chicken processing factory in Paleto Bay blowing up their delivery trucks. This made little or no difference to the share prices.

Damn good fun though, you can throw Sticky Bombs onto the sides of lorries while you are driving along and then detonate them as you speed off into the distance. One thing led to another and before long the FIB vehicles were getting Sticky Bombed and total law enforcement carnage ensued

Is there a good way to make cars explode? I want to create mass havoc on the freeways, but find myself emptying several clips at a car before it explodes, any tips?

Found grenades worked quite well if you're early on in the game and don't have access to the bigger weapons.

When I was doing that first freeway mission where I wanted to steal the gas from the van, I had this great idea. Get another lorry, drive the wrong way up the freeway and then block the freeway. Steal gas at my leisure.

Much like the matrix however, the game programmers have made sure you can't do that. I parked across the freeway, blocked the road, shot up a few cars for good measure. That road was closed! I then saunter up the gas van and he starts driving off. The road blockage has been magically removed.

For the ultimate way to make cars explode, if you have unlocked sticky bombs, you can lob them from the window of your car as you drive round, sticking them to cars/lorries/buses/squad cars and then hit left on the d-pad and they all go off at once, total and utter highway hell!

Do sticky bombs still work on planes once they have taken off?

I think it's too late for that...pretty significant spoiler on the last page.

Is there a way to enable changing font colour using BBcode?

The people can write;

SPOILERS

[color=white]glaring spoiler here[/color]

/SPOILERS

The people who want to see it can highlight it to view the spoiler.

Anyone who's read it form the start would have seen people asked then to not spoil it. It's only fair when people are still paying the game not to give too much a way.

Even the missus was laughing at them:

(obviously these bids have some gameplay spoilers, but he isn't doing much of the missions. He's mainly just fannying around).

I've watched a couple of youtube vids and I'm blown away by the graphics.

Just been through Manchester airport. The urge to run off and try and nick one of the planes was almost overwhelming.

I mean, they were just sitting there not being used. Pretty sure none of them would have fitted in my garage mind.

Maybe Rockstar should get the original scottish Rockstar owners to have some input again.

They must have had lots of input. The names of (some of) the cars are pure British humour. Isn't the A6 (or is it an A4) called the Obey Tailgater?

Plenty other nods to UK humour dotted around the game.

How to make hundreds of millions.

There's a load of assisination jobs to complete. Leave them all to the end. Save game. Listen to Lester telling you where to invest. Then buy shares in opposing company with all three characters, clip bloke from other company. Watch money roll in.

Apologies...assumed the scottish humour was simply transferred from previous games rather than supplied by the original owners of Rockstar.

Just completed a stunt jump on a mtb...looked quite like a chameleon from the camera angle.

Also found a mtb without mudguards too.

I've only got the construction one left but all my characters have at least $400k each so may take a risk and dump it all in as it's on the LCN so not effected by other players. Made $179k from one one today that I spotted on the BAWSAQ creeping up again.

Hmmm, in defence of the poor lass, it's more like a teaser. In the meantime, Unless you're really hard of understanding Trevor belongs with this bunch. That's the point of GTA, you get to play the bad guy, but you're still the bad guy, right?

And I dunno if you ever noticed what happens to those guys at the end of EVERY SINGLE GAME EVER CREATED IN THE WORLD....

Woo hoo!, I got to the end of the story yesterday! (Is it a spoiler, or just a teaser, to reveal that I chose to follow a different path at the end?)

Still loads to do, obviously. Found a few more jumps (but so failed to clear any of them). Started finding scraps (thank you anonymouse and I_Ache). Bought the docks and started collecting the radioactive waste (it is taking a tediously long time, but it gives good money).

I said I was a bit miffed Nick, that was all. It didn't ruin my week, or even day. But no, like any book I read or film I see, funnily enough I don't want to know the ending. I didn't have a go at Emsz, you or anyone. And WOW, what lengths you went to, embedding appropriate videos to assist your point in an hilarious fashion whilst simultaneously patronising and belittling me. Great work sunshine, have a smartie.

The red "Scorcher" branded one?
Found one last night, the attention to detail on it is amazing. Floating rotors, branded tyres and rims, 1x10 drivetrain. It must have been modelled by someone who rides. Goes well too, brakes are a bit on/off (Hayes?) but with a light touch they can even be modulated 🙂

Not sure - after that happened to me I got seduced by stealing planes. Today I stole a tank.

Didn't end well but the police cars blew up nicely...

Up north, there is nearly always one at the rental at the bottom of the cable car, if not head back down the road to a logging area on the opposite side and there will be someone riding one on the trails at the back of there.

Lots of the normal mudguarded mtb's being ridden about in the s.w. foothills of the big mountain. I got the scorcher one when I knocked someone off his mudguards mtb so i could nick it in the tunnel in that area and the red bike appeared next to his one.

So I was getting the impression (from reading online) that the CargoBob was difficult to nick from the military base so I thought, **** it, I'll just drive in in a tractor. Which I did. Only lost about 25% health before getting into the copter and absconding. Even the chasing chopper lost me after I just flew constantly in one direction. Disappointingly easy.

Drac/Cougar, delete if that counts as a spoiler.

They reduce the difficulty for that mission. If you attempt to steal a tank or f-16, you will die repeatedly.
