Playing GTA V for the free roam

[bish0p2004]

I haven't free roamed as much until now due to the fear of disappointment, but I've already beaten the story twice, as well as a lot of the side activities. I'll be redoing the strangers mission as well.

 

I usually do the story first anyway to unlock most stuff so that I can have more fun in free roam.

 

 

But now I'm waiting to see if the IFruit stocks will ever drop so that I can do Lester's mission and I'm just starting to really goof off.

I love exploring, but I dont kill for fun, just for purpose.

 

And I play GTA5 only for the Online-Mode coming soon

When I first played GTA3 at a friends house I had no idea there were these things called missions, haha. I thought the goal was to just mess around, so when I bought my copy I didn't quite get doing missions at first.

 

These days I usually play the missions first so I can experience the map along with the story. After I'll free roam endlessly. Right now I'm hunting for hidden package/stunt jumps, a favorite of mine since forever.

I just free roam haven't done any missions

Both, I like the story because you unlock sh*t for free roam plus I actually like the story. But free roam is the big replay value part of the game.

I love free roam. The missions really don't interest me, and I just want to tool about the area doing squiddly-boo, The more the merrier for that reason!

 

However, having JUST started the online part, I can't get past the 'get the drugs' job. With only one wee gun and not much ammo, I don't stand a chance and I keep getting wasted. I'd prefer to SKIP that altogether! Is there a way to just free roam right away, without the Lamar scene starting? Dagnabbit .. it's spoiling my fun.

Finally got past that danged drug pickup.

I've just bought my first garage in Paleto Bay, but I didn't look closely enough at the listing; I thought it was a little house, so imagine the disappointment to discover I wasted 26G that I can't get back.
All those races, store robberies, car sales .. bah!!

Got to do them all again.... I pick the store near the wind farm; drive straight from there to the train tracks and follow them to the tunnel; cops can't find you in there... tho' the store thefts aren't very much, maybe $500 ... and car selling is too infrequent to be that helpful. I join races and then just go by myself - I'm always first, and it gets up to 3G per race.

 

Note ~ the reason I'm always first is that I have no online friends yet. Anyone who wants to free roam (and isn't a murderous, arbitrary beast) please add me!
