This is their chance to make a story segment that doesn't suck

"Guys! We don't have enough people visiting our site! What do we do?!"

"Write a story about leaked GTA V DLC without any proof!"

"Brilliant!"

Its not my site. I just thought it may stir up some discussion. Gamesradar are pretty reliable when it comes to this stuff - probably more well known in the UK than the US.

Anyway, it was the franklin actor who uploaded a picture to instagram of himself with a mo-cap suit on.

Gotta love the blogger's profile pic though.

Uh... you don't consider a picture with the protagonist wearing a mo-cap suit on at the studio proof?

Maybe they're just his regular clothes.

I didn't bother reading it because I've seen too many articles with similar titles in the past which didn't contain any substance. I read it just now and it does look promising. Hopefully the update is available on PS3 when it comes out.

That's ignorant. You should at least check the article before judging.

i have an issue about my r2 button
I press it all the way down and the car doesn't bounce off the redline like how it normally should, it only bounces off if i press really hard on the top of the r2 button or i do a burnout. How can i resolve this? I already did a controller reset.

Could it be that your controller is just worn out?

that's what i was thinking, should i just buy a new controller or try fixing it? PS4 btw

It's up to you, man. Your money, your system.

I have a similar issue. One of the clips that hold the r2 button in place have broken off so my button doesnt spring back. I wedged a little piece of card at the side and it pretty much solved it. The clips are so small you would struggle to glue them and even if you did, they wouldnt last very long. My advice would be to try the card and if it still doesnt work then buy a new one. Amazon have the cheapest I have seen (UK site though).

I have the same problem. Ijust kind of push it back in after I press it down.

 

[Sage Ages]

Is the stock market broken for anyone else? It just eats my money without purchasing any stocks.

 

[TiZzla]

Am I the only one who spends most of my time in GTA 5 just walking around looking at the scenery? I don't even shoot people any more, this game looks too good I can't deal with it.

 

[EvanJamesLee]

I just found out that you can send emails to people online. Go on the game's internet and press inbox at the top, then you can send longer messages than texting on the game's phone.

Is there anywhere other than the ocean* where it isn't safe to swim/dive? Presumably locations apply to both career mode and online.

*Sharks, y'know?

 

[Daniel]

The Starbucks at the mall near where I work was playing Radio Mirror Park today.

A volcano, I would assume.

In all seriousness, swimming is so insignificant in this game because for a vast majority of your time will be spent on land.

Good to know, it was minimal in career mode but don't know what to expect for online and wanted to get my lung capacity up.

I would suggest maxing your lung strength capacity in the event that you are playing with friends and you happen to drive a car into water, or someting.

 

[CinnamonOD]

How do you increase lung capacity anyways?

What do you have to do?

Swim and dive under water. There used to be a truck involving one of the water treatment tanks outside Ft Zancudo. You had to be inside the inner ring and keep swimming towards the outside. Your character would get pushed down below the water and would slowly rise back to the surface. I never got my character to 100% ability, though, since it was very late at night, and I forgot to do it again ever wonder.

By the way, how do I increase my character's strength? Just go around punching people?

You can also just dive under water, wait until your oxygen is almost up, then resurface and repeat. No need to swim anywhere.

Golf. Lots and lots of golf. I basically just went and played who knows how many rounds of hole 6 and that's what got my strength maxed out. Just make sure to set it to start at and end at hole 6 and you should be good.

Thanks. Will do. 👍

There are no sharks online. Well, save for the fake one on the beach in Venice. There are no attacking animals, or any animals at all online. There are fish underwater and you'll see bugs flying, but that is about it.
