    I did this last night with the final payout. Ran the last 2 Lester missions...
    Turned 27mil into around 109mil.
    And that's on the low end. Wish I'd saved the prior ones. Still a stupid system though.

    It's just an issue of being forewarned. If you don't know about it, you can't plan for it.

    eh, i stopped after the first one figuring i would come back when i had more money to really take advantage. that was before all the details really came out.

    also, the last triathlon is fucking stupid. 30 minutes straight of mashing the x button, plus the most ridiculous rubberbanding ai you could imagine. if i didnt have a turbo controller i dont know if i would have bothered to do that nonsense.

    I did the entire goddamn thing, slamming the X button. The AI fscking cheats at cycling, or I'm doing something wrong. I dropped to like 6th place from 1st, then caught back up to win during running.

    yea its total bullshit during the cycling. id be going full tilt up hill and dudes would just fly past me going like twice as fast. really the entire thing is bullshit.

    I think cycling might weight STR more heavily than STA - I had mediocre STR and maxed STA and got smoked in cycling. I was still able to pull out a win. Pretty sure I said it before, you can pause during the triathlon, I did a couple times, grabbed a cup of coffee, wiggled my fingers a bit. Straight button pumping doesn't seem to be the trick for cycling at any rate, I experimented with slow steady taps and that worked as well as mad button pumping.

    STR does indeed affect cycling more than STA. I recall the little popup mentioning it.

    Did you also blow all your money from the first Heist or something?

    I did just the first 2 of Lester's missions as soon as they were available and I have well over a million from just those.....

    It was still trivial to win the races with mediocre strength and maxed STA as your stamina is basically endless. I mean, I crashed my bike at least once dropping from 2nd to 6 and still placed first in the end.

    Yeah so I got bitten by the car modding fever... only to then lose my cars that I modded. I also bought some crappy properties. I had assumed their payouts would be relative to their costs, but it seems properties in Single Player are just not worth it for making cash.

    Oh wait, you hand the game over to previous GTA players and just watch what they do and then respond to it. Makes sense.

    I have ~160m on each char now and had modded all of their original vehicles or story granted vehicles - Michael's car, Trevor's jeep and Franklin's car and bike. I've now seen Trevor's jeep revert so despite having more money than I really could care about, I'll wait until they put out the fix.

    I really regret spending my money on property. I'm just so used to buying property as early as possible in these games to maximize the profits. :?

    Yeah, I pretty much did the same thing, also I assumed that buying one stock and screwing over their competitor's crap would make a bigger difference. I'm sure it'll all work out eventually.

    There are Note Scraps and UFO Parts to collect. I don't think either provide any benefit.

    There are actually cash briefcases too. Incredibly well hidden and very very few but they are there. Believe they respawn too.

    So I think I'm most impressed by the camera switching. Whenever I hit the "cinema camera" button, it's basically an insta-crash for me.

    We used to play a game on GTA IV where you'd get up to a 3 star wanted level and the you had to do the entire pursuit with that cinematic camera. Good for hot swap gameplay with friends and always hilarious trying to battle the camera as well as the police.

    Yeah I probably should get on that, I've never owned a Bluetooth headset before so what should I get? Just a cheap 5 dollar one from Hong Kong on eBay or are their some decent suggestions? I'd prefer not to spend over 20 bucks if I can help it.

    Your don't even have to hold the button. Tapping it triggers the cinematic camera then you just tap the analog stick to switch the views.

    Re the headset. I bought one that has independent sliders for the chat and game volume as my monitor has no speakers. It's worked fine for game volume but I've yet to try the voice chat. It's a Turtlebeach Psomething.
