^^^ Cool but armoured trucks seem pointless for about £4k each. That buys you a nice suit in this game! :/

It just doesn't seem to work, at least not on any noticable scale. I invested in burgershot, they werent at their lowest but they weren't highest either, sort of half way. I went and blew up 6 clucking bell lorries and even slaughtered the workforce in hairnets with a minigun. Nothing. I then invested in AirEmu, went to the airport blew up 3 flyus jumbos as well as a smaller plane and the towtruck that had flyus branding on it that I crashed into all the jumbos with. Not a single movement. It's rubbish. The only time I made money on the stock markets was the assisnation missions and a lucky bet that I put on when it was low and obviously it just went high all by itself, because if you look at the graphs they go high then low then high then low. I think any influence in game just happens to be a coincidence.

Agreed. I tried to air emu method. no dice. I then thought. Ill buy FlyUs shares as they were super cheap. at like $51. they haven't budged. actually theyve gone down a couple of points. the graph shows them spiking to 81 on " Sunday night " and spiking every other day. Sleeping doesn't seem to change it whats so ever. the game seems to not want to let me whats so ever which is a bit annoying as i decided to plow 17mill into it

Okay, I just went on for an hour and made £3million on each character.

Here's what you do.

Buy bullhead stocks as low as you can, and as many as you can. Then:

Go around the town crashing into cars, hitting people (slowly) and general destruction.

I made the stock go up 17.7% in an hour. which netted me just over 3million each with around 18 million in shares.

Try it, it works.

I did read on a website somewhere to invest in 'gold' before the final mission. I didn't bother because I wasn't 100% convinced they meant gold coast so I left it. would have increased my wealth 10 fold though (although saying that I only had a 3 mill between them before the final heist which so wouldn't have made that much of a difference in the scheme of things.

AFAIK there were no hints whatsoever that gold coast would benefit from the heist, they're mentioned very briefly, but not in any sort of financial gain sort of way. Bad execution from rockstar imo, all the market will benefit is people that cheat by looking up guides!

it did mention gold coast for one of the missions definitely as i invested. but sold a bit prematurely

It's pretty obvious which option you should choose at the end and if you choose any option that impacts the ability to do all side missions then quite frankly you don't deserve to be able to do the side missions.

Er...ok. I'll keep that in mind...

First play. Game seems absolutely excellent but I'm amazed there have not been more critical posts regarding graphics. It looks fairly terrible on PS3 and reminds me why I rarely ever use my PS3. There is a beautiful game hiding beneath a load of horrible jaggy graphics.

I cannot wait for the PC version. It sucks that Rockstar make us play the Console versions first.

I got the ps3 slim and noticed it gets hot, what I did was raise it up a bit by putting it on top of the game case, its not 'overheated yet at all I just did this to make sure it dosn't, I also set it to 720p instead of 1080p just in case

Stock stuff.

have you worked out how long it takes for them to drop again so you can do this sort of thing again?

Is gta on ps3 not output at 720 anyway?

Mine certainly switches from 1080p at the desktop to 720p when I go in game

Is the iFruit app down for anyone else?

MAJOR SPOILER BELOW

I just completed it. Trevor? Wtf? No? It can't be true...? What would have happened if selecting deathwish option? Does it mean I can't free roam as Trevor anymore? I had loads of stuff I didn't finish up with him.

If you drive around, and try your best not to casue accidents it drops at around 5-10% a day (I had mine all the way down to -330%)

Have fun with the money mate.

Can't I go back to that save and re-do it?

And whilst I'm in a moaning mood, is there any way to stop the annoyingly distracting constant disc access on PS3?

Mr Men · 23 Sep 2013 at 20:27

No, only 360 has that option
