Trying to do an assassin mission with Franklin and I need a sniper rifle but I can't buy one.

When or how can Franklin get one?

I did that bit with an ak. Don't forget to buy shares in the opposite company first

Yeah, although this was yesterday it wasn't working, perhaps it's because of the social club issues. So you don't need to unlock it?

I take its good to buy property and business to make big money?

How did you get huge money like that.

Nope, that's purely shares. Businesses get you barely anything

Funny how the people who were complaining last week about the map looking too small and limited, have seemingly gone quiet now that they've actually seen it.

The scale of the map is superb in it. I went up a ladder onto a building and could see nice parts of the city.
My jaw hit the floor lol

Cannot wait for online. This game just gets better and better.

Nickyyy · 18 Sep 2013 at 21:33

Just finished the main story! Haven't played a game that intense for a good while, started on Saturday evening and just finished it!

It tells you all this in game as you play

Stamina improves by doing things that require stamina (sprinting, cycling, swimming)

How do you turn the plane taxi'ing?

Then at this point just chill out and enjoy the game, there's no need to hurry to max stats or anything.

Everything just increases by doing stuff more. For things like shooting and driving, they increase quicker if you do stuff better, like get headshots for example.

Keep an eye on the top left of the screen, as that's where you'll see lots of gameplay hints as you play.

Just literally been driving around for an hour lol mucking about!

Was that purely luck on your part or did you have an idea of what to invest in? It looks like a random list of companies to me. How do you know which are going to make more money based on your actions and which will go down? These might be stupid questions tbh I have no idea about the stock market, real life or GTA

Michael's 'trips' are some awesome!

Been playing for 12 hours today, 12 hours yesterday and I'm at ~32%

It's a damn good job I booked this week off work or I have a feeling this amazing game would have ended up collected dust before I had a chance to even get half way through!

Lost my customised Feltzer I spent tons on

I am not alone it seems.

You can look at their highs and lows (ignore the graphs, just look at the numbers) to get an idea of how they're performing and of their potential. You'll occasionally get tips on the radio. There is also a series of missions that offer you tips and some other missions might affect the market.

Raymond Lin · 18 Sep 2013 at 21:54

Is there any way to sneak into the airport and onto a plane undetected?

What so if their high is at like 300, and their low is 150, and they're currently at like 200, you'd invest in that and wait it out?

I know a lot of people suggest investing in vehicle and gun manufacturers. Vehicles so you can trash a maker and then buy their shares then trash the others to increase value again. Guns I heard just increase anyway over time, is that right?
