^^99% of the topics in here refer to online since online came out. The areas on the map are only shaded because you haven't navigated to that area on the map. It's all unlocked it's just left as a surprise until you explore the area or wait for the story mode to take you there (and it will)
Playing story mode does open up extras like contacts, getaway drivers, etc etc

The face tat is for online. The triathlons and all that bullshit is for 1) Stamina and 2) achieving 100%. Once I beat story mode I was only about 60% finished. I've done a ton in single player since then and I'm only at 78%. I'll never get to 100 because I don't find the extra shit all that appealing lol.
None of the 3 characters are useable online. You create your own.

They do increase stamina but someone told me the triathalons take for ever so i avoid them. Playing a few games of tennis is fum though. Just running throughout the game increases stamina so i never worried about it.

The face tat is online not single player (500 headshots).

Not sure how far u are but you can see how many missions u have left by checkin your game stats. You can complete every mission and be like 76% of the game cuz of all the side shit. I "beat the game" but am like at 86% or something.

the first couple triathalons take like 5 mins, but one straight up took like 25 minutes, the final one.

i beat the game in 3 days because
1) it was my days off
2) i played a lot of gta4 and the expansions and understand any and all mission mechanics (start at x, drive to y, return to x. or drive to the red dots, kill the red dots, escape, etc.)
3) the game is very easy

i only got to 92.75 % completion, and will never 100% this game ever. i refuse to do the collect 50 of whatever sidetasks, and the x amount of stunts sidetasks. i never did those in gta4 or san andreas and never ever will. its just a ploy to make ppl buy strategy guides or create a false sense of a larger game and more replayability. i will never use strategy guides for any game ever. i did every single thing there is to do, except the collection tasks and stunts, and the bounty missions trevor gets from that fat trailer chick. for some reason those missions are bugged and it wouldn't let me start them.

point is the game is very very easy lol

ok i admit anything less than a week or two is ridiculous. and yea lately ive been playing like 1 -2 hours at a time. but i was waiting for this game forever lol. i was like, actually excited about a video game so much i actually bought it day one at full retail. i havent done that with any game for like seriously about around 15 years, since ff7 and resident evil 2. so i went way overboard cause i was so engrossed in the game i was able to pull marathon sessions. add knowing gta mechanics and the game never stood a chance lol. yea, after the 1 -2 hours comment i get it now, beating the game so fast is pretty excessive, but i still enjoyed it as much or more as ppl who play at a more leisurely pace

Some of the people who play online are bitches. I was playing Survival and some english dudes crying cuz I ain't go on the roof with them. Then they cry cuz I shot the last guy too soon. Then they all die on the roof they crying I won't go on and I'm the one who has to do all of wave 10 by myself and they all acting like it was my fault they all died and I stayed alive.

lol or someone rolls up trying to kill you but you kill them. then they challenge you to a 1v1 death match and you accept and kill them 5 more times lol. i loved doing that until i realised other ppl can kill you while youre " 1v1 ", and you cant even see them on the map, so you can get murked easy and have to pay those hospital bills :(

Alright so I went on this morning online try to play boneyard and shit wouldn't let me do it from the rooftop. It kept kicking me out when I would chill up there. Anybody else have this problem?

I get kicked sometimes when I hide behind the fence in Sandy Shores. Always around wave 2 or 3. Is it other players who want that spot or is it the servers? IDK but it gives me a bad mark and that pisses me off.

I also noticed they're making it harder to shoot past the fence from that area. I have to keep shifting around that trash bin.
I don't really play Boneyard unless it's with SICC Mobb because I'm just not used to it yet. We beat that shit last night though. I forgot to exit online and lost my 20 grand after I spent the next hr or so just killing cops with 2-0-sixx and 707.
