Anyone ever had a random ped start a conversation with you?

I just wandered down the street looking around when a cutscene started. Some crackhead took the piss out of me, gave me $100 then walked away.

Weird.

[Scott McFly]

Yeah, same.

The police thing doesn't work yet

& How awesome are taxi's on this!

Took me a few tries to get in one as a passenger. I kept hailing one and then pressing Y to go in, which normally hijacks a car but I assumed would be different fo taxis. On my third try I read it properly that you have to hold Y rather than just press it. Then I enjoyed the scenery en route as I told my driver to hurry and he crashed the fuck into anything that moved. Nearly had a guy on the windshield at one point. Awesome.

He shows up later with a quest, that I didn't do because I got run over by a car seconds after starting it. Haven't seen him since then. My guess he's one of those random citizens you get an achievement for if you encounter all of them

Real Badman, gonna blaze di Ganja wid mi boy Niko, y'know wad'yamean?

I frikkin' love Lil' Jacob.

Hopefully nothing he says is ever vital to a mission cause I can't make out a word of it. Except "keep the windows rolled down, keeps the ganja in the car".

I was browsing around on the in-game internet, it said something about Laslow trying to start up a new station. I can't seem to figure out how to buy alcohol, maybe it's something you gotta unlock like buying clothes. Same with internet dating.

[Guest Kou]

Craigslist dates, lawl.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a woman with a mosaicked face.

BAS RUTTEN!

Hahah, TV is awesome. I just watched a show called 'The Men's Room Featuring Bas & Jeremy'. Describing how to kill a guy with toilet paper... brilliant.

[Guest Kou]

Yeah I saw that too. EVERYONE CHANGE YOUR RINGTONE TO PAGER OR I KILL YOU

[Slogger]

Been done, Its fucking awesome.

[Fitzy]

Bas Rutten on TV was awesome to see.

The only problem i've got with a game so far, Is when im running away from the cops on foot and my phone goes off, I end up saying id do for someone that i have no idea what to do.

[Scott McFly]

Yeah that's kind of annoying. Go to the pause menu and check Brief and it'll tell you what to do though.

[Kaney]

I just found Lazlow >_>

Dial 9485550100 whenever you hear a song, and Lazlow answers it. Then you get a text telling you the name of the track and artist, and when you next log into the Social Club you can choose to buy the song.

[Fitzy]

Speaking of the Social Club, is anyone else getting the "you must have a copy of the game connected online" so you can't actually go into the site?

[abundant]

It can take up to 24 hours for the game to link up with the Social Club.

It can take up to 24 hours for the servers to upload your game data the very first time you link your console ID, so please be patient. If your statistics still aren’t registering after 24 hours, please send us an email.

Is your gamertag linked (Edit profile - link gamertag). It takes a few minutes for that to properly update. I was getting that before.

[Kaney]

It's working fine for me, shows you things like the weapon of choice, how many people have been arrested, worst street for crime, shit like that.

EDIT: Jesus, someone's gotten 100% already, in only eighteen hours :|
