Most of the game, I still do like very much, and feel it’s worth the $60. But there’s still these “WTF?!” moments that annoy me.
One of them is a question I’ve ‘patiently’ waited for three days to answer on the GTA Forum, about if it’s possible to have both Trevor and Franklin to work together, to get a few of the sub parts that are offshore and require either a sub or scuba equipment. I wanted to start this side mission of getting these 50 spaceship parts, scattered around the game world.
Finally got a response, to buy this one place that already has a sub, and a Dinghy. I did, as Franklin. Yet I didn’t see said Dinghy. I figured out a bit later I needed to play as Micheal, to get this side mission to get access to the Dinghy.
Why I need the Dinghy, is you equip scuba gear. Very useful for my needs.
So after I got that mission done as Micheal, and got a measly $10 for my trouble (had the option to plow the bitch into the ground, but decided not to).
So, as Franklin, I went on the Dinghy to reach the first underwater spaceship part, going by a map I’ve been going over. Dived down, and found no part. So I asked YouTube and found a video showing where all 50 are. The first one was on the coast.
The problem was, after I was frantically searching for the part and surfaced, the Dinghy was nowhere to be seen. So I had to frantically search for that too. Finally found it by it having its lights on.
Back in the boat, I head to where the first marker is. I pass within a second through what is assumed to be a no access area. How did I know this? I think the four star Wanted level said this…
I had two fucking helicopters raining down hell on my boat, and police boats following me (who are also shooting at me) and I was going as fast as I can to attempt to evade them. All I did was enter it FOR ONE SECOND, and I’m seen as a terrorist!! I decided to bail out and swim down as deep as I could, to lose them. That worked. When I surfaced… the dinghy was missing again. No lights, and the ocean’s waves were not helping me clearly see where it went.
So I swim in the direction I think the boat went, and a red blip shows up on my radar… it’s a fucking shark! I tried to swim away.. and it killed me.
That’s when I was all “… fuck it” and closed the game out. Not worth the hell. There’s no way to trace where the boat went. No marker or anything. And I couldn’t even defend myself against the shark. Seems like this isn’t Far Cry 3, where you have a “MASH (key here)” option to save your life.
Getting sent to the hospital, resetting my progress… no. Just no. I thought if it’s possible to just have Trevor with me, and use him as my blip of where the boat is at all times. That way, it won’t get lost. Nope. I just tried to Hang Out with Trevor, and you’re stuck with the one that invited.
I was hoping to switch to Trevor and have him captain the dinghy. Nope. Will only allow me to pick Franklin.

So the second thing. This was before I had Franklin go up to get on the dinghy. I wanted him to do his side mission. There was this dog who acted like Lassie.. yet it was weird. The dog was trolling Franklin, messing with his mind.
Eventually, the dog lead him to its ‘master’… and the dog vanished. Is Franklin losing it? So he rescues this skydiver who’s stuck with his parachute in a tree, yet wishes he didn’t as he’s peer pressured into a skydiving mission, plus bike racing down Mount Chillad.
Thankfully, the racing part, you just have to stay on the track and with the guy. You don’t have to win it. Though I was getting annoyed by the constant “Franklin bailed out of the race” when I fell off.

Where was I getting with this post? …… Oh yeah. Cops are assholes, and seem to know where you are at all times.
