Does anyone else find themselves taking on the personality of each character? For example, when I play as Franklin, I listen to rap music and try to avoid trouble if I can help it.

When I play as Trevor, I drive weird vehicles, kill all kinds of people, and listen to hard rock.

When I play as Michael, I drive nice convertibles, play tennis & golf, and altogether act like an aristocrat.

I think that's one of the coolest aspects of the game---making you want to act differently when playing as each character. Or maybe it's just me...

I do the same thing. I also do that with buying property. Franklin buys the property centered around cars, Michael movies, Trevor air fields.

Definately with the cars and music... I grew up on West Coast classics and can't stand modern rap so I bump it with Frank for sure... I like having garages for each character and fixing up rides according to personality...

the only preson I go nuts with is Trevor because I really don't care for him at all...

I didn't either for the first hours I played with him, he grew on me and now he's even ahead of Michael. Let me know how you feel around the third heist.

Franklin is my boy though. It doesn't hurt that his special ability is so damn useful.

+1

1. Franklin
2. Trevor
3. Michael

I think one of the main reasons I like Michael the least is because his supporting characters (essentially just the family) aren't very entertaining.

I have a place in my heart for Franklin... swear he is a picture perfect carbon copy of my brother in law... looks, build, voice, basic personality (minus the criminal stuff of course)... even my brother in law who also plays laughed about how much they are alike...

The developers clearly went with "Tweaker version of Jack Nicholson" on Trevor, even his movements and expressions mirror JN in the Shining...

I don't see why not. I mostly just use it when I need to squeeze through tight areas in traffic. That feel when you perfectly pass through two cars stopped at a red light...

Yep
Franklin and one of the crotch rocket sports bikes are the recommended equipment for doing all of the stunts! His time slowing skill during driving is wonderful and lets you nail them with ease.

My rankings go
1. Trevor
2. Franklin
3. Michael

I like the mayhem, and meth.

Made Trevor look like Walter White. Shaved his head, gave him khakis and a tan jacket with a collared shirt underneath. Now all I need is to find are glasses and a black pork pie hat. Oh and a goatee too.

It is true. Also writing on the back.

It's only the blueprint map that came extra with the Special and/or Collector's Editions.

BMX bikes are so much fun in this game. I've been riding it to the top of the mountains and then flying full speed downhill.

I just did the 4th(?) heist at that bank in that place. (Trying to not spoil anything.)

Holy sh*t that was awesome. So much fun.

Found out how you can make all kinds of money playing the stock market yesterday. Sounds like saving the Assassination missions till after the last heist is the way to go. You can invest all the millions you earned, invest in some companies, knock off the rival company big wigs, ???, profit!

So far I'm torn between Franklin and Trevor as my favorite character. I seem to spend most of my time with Franklin as he starts out with less money and seems to have less options to make it starting out. I like his attitude/swag too. Trevor is just hilarious. I love how you can switch over to him and he'll be doing something batshit crazy, like hanging some dude off a bridge. He's definitely a crazy Jack Nicholson clone too, and it's beautiful. The haircut certainly does it and the crazy, psycho persona.

I don't believe that you can wait to finish all of the heists...I tried that! I think he forces you do the first couple, I'm holding off until it makes me do any more.

So I switched to Trevor this morning and he had a guy tied up beneath the pier with the tide coming up and he was saying "AND THAT is why trickle-down economics do not work!"

I lol'd.

The green one is always down for me as well. I can't seem to find the rival companies to invest in during the assasinations so I haven't been able to make cash that way. I'm going to try to blow up the Taco places since I have money in CluckinBell. Also, if you invest in the radio stations...play them while driving and the stock goes up. Easy enough
