[QUOTE="captainamerica, post: 4499"] Ripper, that is the most stupid question I've ever heard. Obviously you haven't even bothered to play the game yet -- and you call yourself a fan. What kind of a fan doesn't even bother to play the game? I mean, really, Ripper, what the hell? Ha! I am so funny it hurts, but why do I still cry myself to sleep and wake up with an empty vodka bottle on my chest? The puzzles of life. To answer your question, the cut scenes ain't bad. They're fine and they don't get in the way, even in the very beginning. I don't think they're long winded, and Samuel L. Jackson is always fun to listen to. In order to start eating, shopping, get your hair-did, tattoo's, gym -- you've got to do a couple of missions, as they've incorporated it into the storyline. It's not bad, though technically they are holding your hand as you go through it. Either way, you get it done right and then you know how to do it from here on in. Wandered around in the area given for the 2 player thing -- still no luck. Must . . . keep . . . trying . . . In the meantime, I found a way (well, a couple ways) to hop the Airport fence and steal some planes. [b]If you think this is considered *SPOILING* -- Stop reading.[/b] No, seriously, stop. Okay, it's not really anything you don't already know. Get a large vehicle, park near where the fence ain't too high, climb on top, and then climb over -- commonsense, really. Found a dodo (with wings) and a lear jet looking thing called a Shamel, or something like that. Absolutely brilliant. Flew around -- flying is excellent -- really, really fun. Flew at a brilliant altitude, very high, and roving the camera all around to get kickass views from any angle imaginable. Flew past the city limits and the 4 stars came up (you're not allowed to leave Los Santos yet) and then the Feds/Airforce/Fighter planes showed up and tried to shoot me out of the sky. A heat-seeking missile hit my wing, black smoke started billowing out and I thought . . . "Screw it." I jumped out of the plane. From a great height. (Cue Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android') [i]From a greeAAAt heiiIIIIIiiiiIIIGHT. HeeeeeiiiIIIIIiiiiIIGHT.[/i] I fell. Far. Through the clouds, couldn't see what was below. The clouds parted and then all I saw was darkness. I thought, "Oh boy, a forest. Maybe I'll land on a redneck." As I rushed to meet the face of the earth, something weird happened and I fell right through it. Then it turned all weird and eery blue. Then I recognized what I'd heard, the familiar sounds of a 'splash.' I had landed in the ocean. And was still alive. Swam up to the surface, only to have helicopters and police boats shooting my ass off. Filled my lungs and tried to swim to the bottom thinking I could lose them underwater. Strange green lines started zinging all around and they shot me dead underwater. My friend attempted a similar thing, but jumped out of the plane over the city, possibly trying to land in one of the Mulholland mansion's pools. Still, we had no parachutes, and parachutes will obviously play quite an important role in these kinds of situations. SPLAT! And then I flew into a building, just cause it's a sick and twisted thing to do and I figured I'd get it out of my system now. The building stayed. The plane and I didn't. [/QUOTE]
