Optional phone calls during story mode

[cp1dell]

Here you go. Don't know why the 60FPS option isn't showing. Maybe it will show up later. I'm assuming YouTube's processing works by getting the HD versions of the video done, then the 60FPS ones.

 

 

 

Gotta love Michael's call to Dave after "Complications," and how it comes full circle with the phone call at the end of the game (if you pick Ending C).

Very nice man!

 

Thanks for de video!

And here are the Chapter 1 Hangout Conversations.

Awesome work cp1dell. Thank you very much

[GingerIceCube]

I freaking love you, cp1dell. Thank you so much for doing this. I don't mean to be a dick, but is there any way you can turn down the revving of the car engine? It's really loud and makes it hard to hear the dialogue. The car moving does look cool, and you do it really well, but you can adjust the sound of the dialogue so it can more easily be heard over everything else. Sorry. I don't mean to complain after you're doing such a good thing, and certainly don't go back and do the ones you've already done.

Keep up the awesome work, cp1dell! You're my new best friend.

I think I'm going to start uploading videos about the calls and scenes that you talk here! Take a look (some of them doesn't work for me like the one after the first mission to Lamar)

I'll be sure to lower the SFX volume in the editor next time.

 

There's no one for Trevor to hang out with in Chapter II, so the next video won't be until I finish Chapter III - but that's a pretty lengthy one too, so it will be a while until then. But Chapter II is pretty short, and Trevor has some phone calls he can make during it so they will be up maybe later tonight or tomorrow.

 

Like I mentioned, I'm doing everything as it becomes available (right now it's off-road races, stock car races, bail bonds etc.) so my playthrough is going to take a bit.

As promised, here's Chapter II's optional phone calls. Also, I put in subtitles for Chapter I and II's phone calls, so just enable those if you like. I haven't for the hangout conversation video since I really can't be assed to do so right now. But if someone wants to put together a transcript file for me so I can upload/add it to the video I will. It's just a hassle and I'm being lazy about it. Adding subtitles is boring sh*t.

 

 

 

Don't except part three too soon. May take a few days, maybe even a week. Taking my time playing through the game is my first priority, the videos are a little project on the side.

Why are you so awesome, cp1dell? Just curious. Take your time with chapter 3, as it is pretty long, with lots of conversations available. And thanks so much for lowering the SFX sound - it really helped!

Thanks too, Markhosdangerous. You can never have too many people working on this project, as someone mentioned the conversations seem somewhat random and not all of them always show up. Hell, maybe I'll get in on this too.

[cp1dell]

Yeah, I did the phone calls for Fame or Shame but this time around I wasn't given the option to call Amanda. I tried reloading the auto-save multiple times, and it would let me make the other calls, but still no option to call Amanda. Maybe it will work after a different mission, that's what happened with a couple in Chapter I.

 

So yeah, hopefully Markhosdangerous gets the ones I miss like that one, and the other ones that will most likely follow.

Bummer. It really is a mystery how the game determines which calls you're allowed to make. Personally, I can never get Trevor to call Wade at the end of Bury the Hatchet. I've tried more times than I can count, too.

[cp1dell]

Chapter III's optional phone calls. Enjoy.

 

 

 

EDIT: Also, I have all the clips for Chapter III's hangout conversations (obviously there isn't one for Chapter II, since Trevor has no one to hang out with). I just have to put them in the editor, do up some cameras, and render it. Probably tomorrow.

[Hugo_Agante]

Wow thanks for all the videos man, there are calls I didn't even know that existed!

 

By the way, how do you find out who can you call? Do you try to call every contact some time after you complete a mission or what?

 

Thanks once again

[cp1dell]

It's right in the OP.

 

But I think who you can call, and when, differs on what order you do the missions. I just did Minor Turbulence the other night, and I was able to make so many more calls than the OP said I could.

 

So if you're looking to do it on your own, I recommend calling everyone you can after every mission.

 

Also, I finished rendering the Chapter III Hangouts video, so that will be up later. Took almost three hours to export!

 

EDIT: Hangout conversations for Chapter III:

Good job. Btw have you thought about the drunk conversations at any point? And I believe you missed some dialogue of franklin, lamar and trevor hanging out together

[cp1dell]

I never bothered with those hangout conversations because as far as I know, they're also available after the story. The same goes for having the three protagonists hang out, the conversations they have are available after the story, and there are none that are exclusive to "during the story" - this I know for a fact. I can't remember if I tested out Franklin, Lamar, and Trevor last time.

 

Drunk conversations, it's the same thing. I'm pretty sure there aren't any that are only available during the story.

 

I don't bother with any of these since someone can easily boot up their game and do it themselves if they'd like. Things like the phone calls, or some of these hangout conversations during the story - are only available during the story.

I don't know if anyone has gotten it, but through my playthroughs, I can never get Michael to call Jimmy after "Father/Son". After Franklin calls Jimmy, the option for Michael to call goes away.

same thing happens to me. I've never been able to get that call. It always works with Franklin but whenever I try it calling jimmy as michael it goes to his voicemail message. Strange.

I'm guessing maybe there isn't a call there period or there was at one point but it got removed..

[cp1dell]

When I did the playthrough when I was putting together my version of the chronological mission list, I did the calls, and I was able to get that Michael/Jimmy one. The playthrough where I'm doing the videos though, obviously I didn't get it.

 

I really think what order you do the missions in affects this, and that the OP's list isn't - well, I don't know, "concrete?"

 

What I'm saying is that there is no guarantee that said call can only be done at that mission. I mean, I did Minor Turbulence the other day and I was able to do a lot of calls. There were more than two Tracey calls, I called Jimmy as Trevor, Franklin, and Michael - Michael twice. I called Wade as Trevor. Devin, and Solomon.

 

In the middle of typing this and looking at the list, it seems some of these are missing from it. But I know for a fact that there were some calls I could make before or after other missions, that were listed under a different mission in the OP.

 

Honestly, if you're looking to do this - ignore the OP, or use it as a loose guide. Just call everyone that you can and know might answer after every mission. The whole thing seems inconsistent and totally random.

Do you remember the order past "repossesion"? Because I don't recall ever getting Jimmy to answer.

 

 

I know Michael can call Steve Haines to start "By The Book"

[cp1dell]

The order I've used both times, is the chronological mission list I put together in said topic. It's on the sixth page.

 

I'm not saying you're not going to get calls if you play them in a different order, I'm saying you might get them after a different mission. But there are calls where it seems that no matter what, you just might not get them. Very strange.

Yeah. I just used Franklin to call Jimmy after Marriage Counseling, Jimmy talking about how his father has now gone crazy and tells Franklin to try to let him not get killed.. I get most of the calls I can make, but there's a few that escape.

[cp1dell]

Chapter IV's phone calls. There won't be a hangout video for this chapter. Michael and Trevor constantly tell each other they have work to do, and Franklin is always "Busy."

 

 

[LibertyViceSantos]

I give up trying to get Jimmy to answer when Michael calls. I've done the missions in a number of ways, nothing. Jimmy will always answer Franklin, but when Michael calls it just rings and rings and rings. (I'm still playing this on the 360 if this makes any sort of difference)

[Alec Skorpio]

The timing of some of these phone calls is ridiculous as hell. I couldn't get the first Lamar phone call unless I called him twice after the first mission (one time he wouldn't pick up, immediately call him back and he picks up), but it had to be before I left the house and triggered the Social Club awards and the Simeon phone call. Otherwise he just wouldn't pick up.

Jimmy seems to be similar. I swear I got his phone call with Franklin after Father/Son my last playthrough by calling him ASAP after the mission complete screen. This time I tried to switch to Mike to see if I could get it with him, as always Jimmy wouldn't answer Mike. Switch back to Frank and now Jimmy won't answer him either.

 

I can't tell if this is just ridiculous timing windows on Rockstars part or completely loose coding as to how to trigger these.

[cp1dell]

sh*t. Been busy with other stuff at the moment. I have all the clips though for Chapter 5. Just need to edit them together and upload it. Give me a day or two.

Thanks, buddy. You're the best!

[cp1dell]

Well here it is. All in all, I got maybe at least 90% of the calls. Just a few here and there that I couldn't get - but like I said it's completely random and I have no control over it. Sh*tty system. I wish I could have gotten Michael's call to Solomon and Franklin's call to Lamar after The Third Way, since it would have been a nice way to wrap up the final video, but whatever. Hopefully some day someone can record all of the phone calls, including the ones I missed, and throw together a better video. Hopefully.

 

Anyways, 334 days in the making, here is the

It's really ridiculous that so many of these weren't just after mission phone calls.

 

Particularly the ones with Stretch, Westin and Cheng.

 

Crazy you couldn't get most of the phone calls to work after The Third Way, though. Hell, I'm pretty sure that Dave usually calls ME after the mission.
