Quick question!

Doing the rounds up and down the coast trying to retrieve the submarine pieces. Got 24/30 now but at the area I'm at now where the sonar is showing the next piece a shark has turned up and won't stop circling the red dingy. I cant seem to shoot it from the boat? I'm pretty sure I've shot weapons whilst on a boat before though, is the red dingy you use in these missions unable to be used to shoot from or something? Holding down the 'aim/track target' button on the 360 controller just follows the sharks line of swimming, it wont let me actually pull the trigger?

I managed to shoot it from the boat just fine :confused:
 
Completed it yesterday :D I'm definitely going to have another play through.

Also tried GTA online last night and was bored after 10 minutes.

Yeah, I've shot sharks from a boat before too, I'm positive of it. Remind me how you do it again? I have tried using the same method you use with the 360 controller if you are in a car which fires repeatedly but all he does is kinda 'tracks' the target as it goes by the boat and doesn't fire anything. I tried standing up in the boat by pressing the Y button but he just dives off the dingy doing that. :confused:

Tried standing up in the boat and aiming that way? Dive off and climb back on if you have to, should work.
 
Nah, if you press 'Y' in that red dingy you are given for the submarine pieces missions all that happens is Michael stands up and dives off the dingy. There's no pause in between, even if you try moving him before he dives off etc. Same when he climbs back in, there's no way to have him just get on the boat and stop without getting right back into the driving seat. I'm thinking they have done this deliberately with the red dingy to make it more difficult to deal with the shark.

Anyway, I got so fed up with the shark circling the dingy I just dived off and started swimming anyway and the shark didn't even come near me. :D
 
Why is it that bailing out of an aircraft, even if you are in the middle of the desert or mountains always results in a wanted level triggering once the plane or helo hits the deck?

No one died so what's the problem? Sooooo annoying!!!
 
It's probably worth investing in PIS again if you need money in single player.

On the 360 it's currently around $2, i bought in at $1.24 this time, the lowest its ever been.

I'll make approx 100 million profit on each character when it gets to $2.50, maybe it will go back to $300 again in a couple of weeks, who knows.
 
On PS3 it's Weazel that's making it's way up at the moment. Last week was down as low as $1.5 per share, it's now up at $53.33. Managed to get my characters up to the $1 billion mark after messing up and doing the assassination missions early.

I noticed Weazel a few days ago and dumped all my money there, hopefully should make a decent profit if it keeps increasing at this rate

Hmm... Well, I had a lot more trouble with previous games, none of this looking at your radar to see their line of sight and then parking up in some alley despite having killed about 50 people.

I had more trouble on previous games because you couldn't climb or stuff just went batpoo on me frequently. The cops are far more enjoyable in this.

The shooting thing, well damage is localised so an arm/shoulder/leg shot won't kill until you get the slight flash like MaxP3 or just go for the head, like you should be doing anyway. ;)
 
Gaahhhhh!!! Encountered my first serious game glitch last night (in story mode) which is stopping me continuing the plot of the game. It's the first part of the 'Predator' mission where Franklin is giving chase to the O'Neill brothers. Get's to the part where you follow them off the highway onto the dirt track and it is supposed to switch to a cut scene where a deer runs out in front of their jeep, causing them to swerve and crash. But the cut scene never happens. Their jeep passes the trigger point for the cut scene and a few seconds later I get a message saying 'Mission failed: the O'Neill brothers escaped'.

Googled this and a few folk have had it happen to them. But there is very little info on a solution. Anyone else had this and how did you solve it? Tried reloading the game from a previous save but that didn't work.

HALP!!!!
 
Looks like PIS is on its way back to $300 again now, currently $77. (xbox)

My initial investment of 500k for each character a few weeks ago (buying PIS got me to approx 40-50 million, doubled it on Tinkle, then buying into PIS this time at $1.24), is currently at around 5-6 billion for each of them :)

I don't think it matters when i do the last three assassination missions now!
