GTA V - Actually doing Missions... oh dear

GTA V by Rockstar games. I'm sure you've heard of it. It's one crazy place.

In the game you eventually can control any one of three main characters in this sprawling open-world. They are Michael, Franklin and Trevor. At the start, Michael is the only playable one. The others need to be unlocked.

Admittedly, up until now, I haven't really got the best out of this masterpiece. Never perfected my skills or the controls, never experienced the true Los Santos and all it has to offer. Which is a shame. Most the time I have just run around the map as Michael (the start character) in the same clothes he starts with, just generally causing mayhem.

Missions are where the real action is at. Missions are where the character stories slowly introduce you to the finities of the game. Teaches you new skills. Makes the World become more alive. Thought it was high-time I started doing them then! Check out the video below.  Noob alert !!!!!!!


Father / Son : If you complete this mission, you unlock Franklin as a playable character. I think there are other missions also which would achieve the same thing.

Basically, your stupid lazy Son, Jimmy, has attempted to sell your boat to get some much needed cash. The deal has gone bad, and the Boat has instead been stolen and driven off on a big truck. Great. Jimmy phones Micheal (that's you) and lets him know. So... now a big chase ensues and this is where you jump into the action... or try to in my case!

Taking your wife Amanda's sports car, which I hope is heavily insured for damage, you drive to the seafront with Franklin and make chase along the road. You must get the car close enough for Franklin to climb out of your car and onto the boat being pulled along. There is traffic getting in the way everywhere making it particularly treacherous for someone with super noobie skills.

Once Frankin is aboard, you then have a shoot a thug off him from your moving car. Yes... I did say moving. Is super tricky. The Boat boom suddenly swings out with you son Jimmy holding onto it! You must drive underneath and catch the fool.


It's not over yet.

Once you've caught Jimmy, you then need to drive to the rear of the boat again so Franklin can jump back aboard.It's a complicated business and this is one of the early missions! Think I could be in a bit of trouble here. :P

What happens next? Am I succesful. Well... I'll let you watch the vid. Los Santos is a dangerous place... but of course, that's why we love it.
