I agree about there being more heists. I haven't finished the game but I've only really set up two or three heists and never get paid for shite.
I am hoping we pull off "the big one" and I have a ton of money by the end of the story. But definitely more heists are needed
As far as replay value goes, I'm not sure what that angry fanboy wants. I can't drive to a mission without encountering some random person needing help, running from the police, having their purse stolen, acting like they need help and trying to ambush me, the list goes on and I keep seeing new random events. Not to mention I spent three hours last night trying to steal a fighter jet, and it was hugely rewarding when I finally got it and started doing strafe runs on LS
And I haven't even gotten in a tank, played golf, really even explored underwater, unlocked my blimp, or finished all the freaks and strangers missions
He said something along the lines of "by now I would have expected to be able to enter 10% of buildings, more alive city, blah blah." He sounds like someone who thought we would have hover boards and jet packs by the 90s back in the 70s

So am I a bad parent for letting my (almost) 4 year old son drive around in the cars? He doesn't know how to do anything else, and was watching me drive around and he said "Daddy, can I try?" So I said sure, here you go. He then proceeded to press the gas and immediately run over some chick and into the side of a building and then he laughed.

This. I played for 2 hours last night. I meant to work on main story missions and I didn't do any because I kept getting distracted.

I just finished the "hanging meat" mission
how far do I have to go in the main story line?

I'm not sure I have played the hanging meat mission. When you look at your quick save slots, what's your percentage?
Posted on 9/25/13 at 8:33 am to MrPappagiorgio
You could be done tonight if you only do story missions. You're not that far away
Posted on 9/25/13 at 8:34 am to MrPappagiorgio
That's about the time I stopped and started over :/

The new fall season of TV has saved me... Wife is fully occupied with all those shitty signing shows, and Im pretty sure Law and Order SVU starts tonight

I want to start over too. If I skip all the cutscenes I can probably beat it again by this weekend. I want to redo the assassination missions.

Yea I've been skipping all the cutscenes. Just did the mission where you chase down Lazlo with Trevor & Michael. Saving the assassination missions for last too. Had to step my money game up.

care to hit some bullet points on that?

Listen to Lester basically.
Posted on 9/25/13 at 9:01 am to LewDawg
I love the radio commercials for righteous slaughter.
It's basically call of duty

Posted on 9/25/13 at 9:01 am to LewDawg
Rofl, I have a shade over 160 million after listening to Lester with the assassination missions. I had only done one of the missions, then waited until the end to do the rest, so maybe I could have 200 million. A billion? No way.

Crap this is making me want to start over as I am not too terribly far into the game to wait to do the assassination missions.

The only new one I've heard of is the AUG stock one and I've heard different thoughts on what affects that stock so I may be a little leery on that one

How many Lester missions are there? Last one I did was the Debonaire one. I did the assassination missions super early before I knew any better so I only had like $30k to invest. I'm already around 50% into the story line and none of my characters have over $150,000. It sucks.

if you haven't gotten to the assassination missions yet, why would you start over?
Posted on 9/25/13 at 9:45 am to illuminatic
I finally got paid last night for a mission
I have to take a break for the next 2 days to catch up on some TV shows and i guess talk to my wife
