I hate that feature of the game. All I have to do is say one negative thing to an NPC, and they pull out their phone and call the cops on me, giving me a 1 Star Wanted Level. And if I kill them before they make the call, I get 1 Star anyway ...

The dated 80's Action Vibe suited "Far Cry: Blood Dragon" pretty well. And "The Warriors" is pretty old as well, but made for a pretty decent game....

Sell it as quickly as possible because it starts going down fast.

That's too Bad. I assumed every game had at least one very cheap company whose price fluctuates a lot. Well there's still the Assassination Missions ( as well as that Tinkle Company I pointed out in my previous post ).

Customize Vehicles for FREE with all 3 characters ~

Yeah, what happened to that? I wanted Flares and Electronic Countermeasures for my P-996 Lazer Fighter Jet ( could of made stealing it from Fort Zancudo much easier ). Also a Hot-Pink Paintjob for my Submersible would of been nice as well ...

I've invested in Los Santos Radio about 3 times now, they are the company with the Lowest Share price in my game on the LCN Stock Exchange ( but everyone else will probably have a different lowest company ). The first amount I invested with them was $100,000 when it's stock price was at $3.50, I then played the game for two 8 hour sessions ( over two days ), and it jumped up to $7.20 ( the highest I've ever seen it go in my game ), I then sold the shares and had $220,000. After that I went on and did some missions/ heists and ended up with about 5 million with each character ( because I saved most of the money I made ). I then tried sleeping ( in-game ) to speed up the process of the stock price going back down to $3.50, it worked and I bought $5,000,000 worth of shares for $3.45 a share, after which I tried sleeping to get it to go back up again. Only this time it seemed like it was taking for ever, with the stock price only moving up or down by about $0.02. So I went and Maxed-Out all of the three character's stats and explored for a bit ( this seemed to speed up the process a lot ), and it went up to about $6.90, where I then sold them to make $5,000,000 profit ( leaving me with $10,000,000 ). I reinvested that $10,000,000 dollars before even completing 50% of the game ( at $3.50 again ), and have made my third massive profit from the same company. I sold the stock for about $6.95 ( it didn't go higher than that ), and ended up with about $20,000,000. So now I've got over 60 Million dollars between all three characters, and still have a few more heists to complete before I go and invest what I've made into the Companies from the Assassination Missions. Where I'll invest in "Betta Pharmaceuticals" for the First Assassination Mission ( which maxes out at +50% profit ), and then in "Debonaire" Cigarettes before the Second Assassination Mission ( which maxes out around +80% profit after the mission ) then sell them and reinvest the money into their rival company "Redwood" Cigarettes ( which goes up by a massive 300%). And then invest in "Fruit" for the Third Assassination Mission ( which has about a +50% profit ), then "Vapid" ( which you buy and sell AFTER the Fourth Assassination Mission/ for a +100% Profit ), and lastly "Gold Coast" for the final Assassination Mission ( which goes up by +80% ). So let's say I have $20 Million going into the first Assassination mission ( which has to be done before the Merrywether Heist ). After investing in "Betta Pharmaceuticals" for a +50% profit, I will now have $30,000,000. And if I then save the last 4 Assassination Missions for after the rest of the Heists, and make another $30 Million from the Heists ( just a hypothetical, because you can definitely make more ). And invest the $60,000,000 ( 60 Million ) I now have for each character, into "Debonaire" Cigarettes for the Second Assassination Mission, then "Redwood" Cigarettes ( for a +300% profit ), then in "Fruit", then "Vapid", and lastly "Gold Coast" for the other Assassination Missions ( for a +50% profit/ +100% profit/ and then a +80% profit ). Doing the math I should have about $2,332,800,000 ( 2 Billion, 332 Million, 800 Thousand Dollars ), after the final Assassination Mission. I think that should be enough.... ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ Here is another guaranteed company that will make a profit. Go to this location on GTA V's map ( Any of the Characters can Trigger this Random Event ) ~ But before you go there, get all three characters to invest all of their money into a company called "Tinkle" ( TNK ), which is listed on the BAWSAQ Stock Exchange. Once you reach the destination there will be a random event to take a gentleman to the Airport, and if you get him there on time he will tell you about a stock that is about to go up ( Tinkle ). Once it goes up sell the stock for an easy profit. *This company will Max-Out at about +33.00% Profit. After that the price will stay there for a while before falling again. * Also remember to keep refreshing your portfolio page for any of the stocks mentioned above. You will want to maximise your profit for each one.

How about Rockstar does an Open-World game based on "Escape from New York". I got the idea from this article ~ http://www.ign.com/a...-that-never-was Seeing how well they handled "The Warriors", I could definitely see them turning John Carpenter's Cult Classic into a great game as well. They could do it with 80's music and an 80's Action Movie Vibe, and give the graphics a washed-out artistic look. And include all the various Gangs that own different sections of Manhattan, as well as incorporating a new "Duke of New York" as the main Antagonist. Plus it should of course include the Crazies in the Underground Sewers and Train Tunnels/ Stations. They could make it a Third Person Survival RPG, where you can upgrade the weapons of the character and choose perks, as well as scavenge for supplies & ammo. And definitely bring back Kurt Russell to voice Snake. If Rockstar did decide to make this game, they should make sure that the Original Theme Music is included ~ If not this, then maybe a game based on another John Carpenter Classic; "Big Trouble In Little China".

O.K. I found the fastest way to level up Franklin's Strength Stat. Go all the way up to Grapeseed in Blaine County, there should be some Cattle Ranches up there with tons of cows. All you have to do is start kicking cows ( each one is good for about 4 Kicks before they're dead ). Levelling up the Strength Stat will make your character more resilient to physical assault ( IE. Punches & Kicks ), will make them climb faster ( over objects/ up ladders ), and take less damage from falls. Reasons why this is the best method for Levelling up Franklin's Strength: 1) You will never get a Wanted Level for killing cows ( even though PETA may hate you ) 2) They fall over after 1 kick ( making the next three kicks as easy as pie ). 3) The Cows keep spawning. 4) It takes about half an hour to raise the Strength Stat an entire bar ( and a lot of dead cows ). Also Hunting seems to raise Trevor's Stealth Skill very quickly. Hope this helps.

Hopefully we can customize the properties/safehouses as well. The lack of customization in GTA V is kind of Disappointing.

@Barrybarn. Yeah, don't invest in LifeInvader, it will never go back up. Any other company but LifeInvader would be fine. It's too bad that your lowest company is that particular one...

@Handsome B Wonderful. I recommend investing in the company with the lowest Stock Price, when it's at it's lowest ( it should be the only company under $4.00 ). You should buy it when it goes down to $3.50, and then sell it when it goes up to $6-7 Dollars. This could take a while so I recommend maxing out the Stats for the characters, and getting tats/ haircuts/ clothes, customizing cars, or exploring the map in the mean time. Or if you want to do it the fast way ( which I recommend ), go and use the save feature at one of the character houses to fast forward the game 8 hours over and over ( which will speed up the days and weeks into a matter of minutes ). This will speed up the fluctuations of your companies Stock Price. Check your portfolio every so often to see whether the Share Price has risen high enough, and then sell the stock. Then use the Sleep Function again to speed up the process of the Stock Price decreasing back to $3.50, and then buy it again. After that do the whole process again ( waiting, then selling once the stock price has risen to $6-7 Dollars again ). This can be a little bit tedious and time consuming, so I recommend only using this method after you have a couple of Million Dollars to invest, it will make the whole money making scheme go much faster. So if you started by investing $2,000,000 at $3.50 a Share, then sell it for $7.00 a share, you will have $4,000,000. Invest it again, buying and selling for the same price you will now have $8,000,000, after that $16 Million....... then $32 Million, then $64 Million, then $128 Million, then $256 Million, then $512 Million, then $1,024,000,000 ( 1 Billion 24 Million Dollars ). So after reinvesting the money 9 times ( which would probably take some time ), you would eventually end up with over a Billion Dollars. Which is more than you would ever need. All it takes is some time and patience, and you can eventually make a lot of money on the Stock Market...

To Raise the Strength Stat fast with Michael and Trevor play Tennis on Easy ( one Set of Tennis seems to raise the Strength Stat by about 20%/ although it might be faster on Normal & Hard ). For Franklin play Darts instead. On second thought this takes just as long. I still haven't found a fast way of levelling up Franklin's Strength Stat...

Can't Franklin play Darts? That increases the Strength Stat ( I think ).

Thanks I'll Edit my post. Thanks to @GMT as well for the Doppler Cinema's income.

Does the weekly income that Businesses make increase after you have done it's missions? I already know that when you buy the "Downtown Cab Company" you get a $2,000 Weekly Income and free Taxi rides. But I have also read that the missions for it involve special requests to pick up certain clients, which can lead to Stock Tips, Cash and other Bonuses ( but I haven't received a call for one of these missions yet ). These are the Businesses/ Properties ( and the benefits for them ) that I have seen so far ~ ( all Weekly Incomes are deposited into your character's Bank Account between 00:00 & 01:00AM every Monday ) "Private Hanger" at LS Airport - Costs ~ $1,378,600 - Benefits ~ Stores Planes ( bought online or stolen ), can only be purchased by Michael & Franklin "Puerto Del Sol Marina" - Costs ~ $750,000 - Benefits ~ Stores Boats ( bought online or stolen ), and can be purchased by all 3 characters "Vespucci Helipad" - Costs ~ $419,000 - Benefits ~ Stores Helicopters ( bought online or stolen ), can only be purchased by Michael & Franklin "Hookies" Club - Costs ~ $600,000 - Weekly Income ~ $4,700 "The Hen House" Night Club - Costs ~ $80,000 - Weekly Income ~ $920 "Smoke On The Water" Medical Marijuana Dispensary - Costs ~ $204,000 - Weekly Income ~ $9,300 "Pitchers" Club - Costs ~ 750,000 - Weekly Income ~ $7,100 "Ten Cent Theatre" Cinema - Costs ~ $20,000,000 - Weekly Income ~$264,000 "Mckenzie Field Hangar" - Costs ~ $150,000 - Benefits ~ Drug/ Gun Shipments, $5,000 for Ground Shipments & $7,000 for Air Shipments. "Car Scrapyard" - Costs ~ $275,000 - Benefits ~ $150 Reward for every car destroyed in San Andreas - Making a Rampage with a Rhino pay you money for every vehicle you blow up ( even if it's not that much for each vehicle, it adds up ). "Towing Impound" - Costs ~ $150,000 - Benefits ~ $500 per towed car - ( kind of redundant since you have to do it yourself ). "Tequi-la-la" Club - Costs ~ $2,000,000 - Weekly Income ~ $16,500 "Sonar Collections Dock" - Costs ~ $250,000 - Benefits ~ Gives access to a Submarine, which you can use to find Nuclear Waste ( $23,000 per Barrel ). "Tivoli Cinema" - Costs ~ $30,000,000 - Weekly Income ~ $142,300 "Cinema Doppler" - Costs ~ $10,000,000 - Weekly Income ~ $132,200 "Los Santos Golf Club" - Costs ~ $150,000,000 - Weekly Income ~ $264,500 "LS Customs" - Costs ~ $349,000 - Weekly Income ~ $1,600 - Benefits ~ Can only be purchased by Franklin, and let's him customize and repair any vehicle for free ( only at the LS Customs in Central Blaine County ). Have I missed any information about the Businesses & Properties listed? Any help from someone who has purchased all the properties in the game would be greatly appreciated. *Thanks to Conquested & GMT for the info.

That's a great increase in price. Say you invested the money you made with Michael in the first heist ( in my game his share was $1,000,000 ) into that company at the same price of $3.50. And later on sold the stock at $10.50, you will have made $2,000,000 leaving you now with 3 million. If you did the whole process again ( going from $3.50 to $10.50 ), using the Sleep Function to speed up the days & weeks, and eventually get the share price back down, buying it again, then waiting until the share price raises back up to the higher price. And invested that 3 Million Dollars, you will have made 6 million Dollars profit and would now have 9 million. If you did it again, that 9 million will have turned into 27 million. After that 81 Million....................... after that 243 Million.................. and after that 729 Million etc... Don't wait for it to go all the way up to it's maximum price, because it won't. Just wait until it's more than doubled in price then sell your stock, because most ordinary stock will only fluctuate a certain amount. And the most these cheap companies ( the $3.50 to $5.00 ones ) will increase is only about 2-3 times it's lowest price. So don't worry if it says it's had a 400% decrease in value, because that's bullshit, it will never go back up to it's highest price ( because I've never seen it happen ).

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but I have a solution for vehicles going missing from Garages. All you need to do is go stand outside the garage where your Car/ Bike has disappeared from ( make sure that the Garage Door is closed when you do this ), then Quick Save the game on your phone, and immediately reload the save. Once the game has re-loaded, your vehicle will be back in the Garage when you walk over to open the door. *Tried this yesterday, and doesn't work.

Batman Arkham Origins will probably be the last game I get for my PS3. The first two Arkham games were great, so here's hoping Warner Bros doesn't fuck up the third game of the trilogy...

You can see Ecola/ GoPostal Trucks driving around every now and then, and there are a ton of Fly US planes at LS Airport. Also go to the industrial area in south Los Santos and you will see plenty of vehicles with company names all over them ( sometimes in groups of 4 or more ). And some companies have Headquarters ( just like Life-Invader ), so if you go there, you can go on a rampage killing their employees ( which should affect their Stock Price ).

I've heard that there are Bears, but they're one of the rarer animal spawns ( whereas Deer are one of the most common ). Several players have mentioned seeing them ( usually attacking other animals ), plus they were mentioned as being in the game by CVG when they had their Hands-On Preview ( where Rockstar stated that Bears were definitely in GTA V ). Somewhere in this Video ~ Unless these people are full of shit, and CVG got their facts wrong ( which is believable )...

Whatever the lowest share in the games is, put all of your money in it when it's at it's lowest point ( and by low I mean under $4.00-5.00 ). Then just wait for it to go up a couple of dollars and sell it for a massive profit. So if you invest 20 Million Dollars you could end up making a 10-20 Million Dollar Profit, and then each character now has 30-40 Million, then wait for the stock to go down again ( use the sleep feature to progress the week faster ), and then put all of your money in it again. Each time you do this you will have a larger return on your investment, as well as an increase to your capital. Because the money ends up snow-balling every time you sell your stock for a profit.
