And I just discovered a third herbalist, east of the abandoned town you mentioned, standing next to a shrine that you purge of monsters.

Big money ===> If you're still in the prologue, you can sell honeycombs to the herbalist lady for 18 crowns a pop! I read a notice she hung on a tree by chance, then went running to sell them to her!

A nasty one IMO, I spent the first day moving the mouse over every item to read the details in a pop-up -_-

So glad I thought of trying a controller for it.

@mb: I see. Interesting stuff, thanks for the answer. I'm actually not having any problems with the FOV so I don't need the fix, but I was curious about trying it out. Changed me mind now!

No no, I thought you meant the fix itself wasn't very ideal in the game (like it causes problems while playing, with the camera or something). Does it not cause such problems?

What does it being not ideal entail?

What this fine gentleman said. After applying the following fixes, it became almost perfect:

• Rebinding a couple of keys (like dodge to mouse side button)
• Turning off mouse acceleration (Video -> "hardware" option -> "on")
• Dropping mouse sensitivity
• Instantly opening/closing the different menus (and jumping from one menu to the next) using I, L, K, J, M, N, B and G
• Quick-selecting signs using numbers 3-7

BIG TIP FOR M+KB PLAYERS:

Plug in your controller and use it to look at inventory/shop items. Using the mouse/keyboard disables the info section of the screen, it just disappears from the screen. I pick up the controller to look at the different items and the info section pops up:

Yeah I read about that - buying cheap stocks in a company before assassinating their rival, then selling the stocks when they skyrocket. I also read about buying car stocks then spending hours blowing up other cars to make the stocks of the car you chose rise in price.

But for now I have a list of rival companies, such as Cluckin' Bell vs. Taco Bomb, and I'm trying to figure out how to hurt one of them so i can make money off the rival..... But all these taco and coffee joints are closed, they have no staff to shoot, no cars to damage, just closed buildings, I'm gonna keep trying to find a way to hurt a company.

Regarding the money... The idea was to spend big money on property, make considerable profit over time, and use that profit to invest in more properties and to buy all the expensive cars, boats and planes. Are you telling me that the only way to buy all that awesome expensive stuff during my playthrough is the Assassinations exploits? Otherwise I have to wait until I beat the game before I can afford them?

When I beat the game I'm gonna delete it, not buy stuff in it! It's like only being able to make big money when you turn 80 years old.

Huh, I guess I'll be buying them to gain access to the side missions that they provide (like protecting them from gangs), when all this time I thought they would make me proper profit. I guess it's ok to pay for those side missions if there's no other use for the money (I only like singleplayer).

Hello. I'm playing GTAV and the property stuff is not making much sense to me. Perhaps you good folks at Giant Bomb can show me the logic in the following:

1. The description for the McKenzie airport on online guides such as IGN is that it's a way to "make money." You spend $150,000 on it to buy it, and then you do the trafficking missions to make profit: 5 land missions, 5 air missions. You get $5,000 for land, $7.000 for air. That means that the missions ultimately earn you $120,000, total. With all the excellent flying bonuses, the maximum is $121,375.

I lose 30 thousand dollars if I buy that airfield with 150K and ace all the trafficking missions with a 5-star rating for 121.375K in total.

2. The Car Scrapyard: It costs $275,000 to buy, and pays you $150 per car that you bring in. That means I have to bring in 1,834 cars just to earn back what I paid for the place. Did any of you steal over two thousand cars and drive them to the scarpyard to even begin making a profit?

**

3. The time element. 1 week in GTAV is 5.6 hours in real life. It literally takes 400 and 600 hours of gameplay to only earn back the price you paid for some properties. Cut that in half because of the numerous time-skipping game saving, and you still end up with 200-300 hours of gameplay, just to earn back what you paid. That means you need over 200 gameplay hours to make profit from the cheapest property you buy.

Am I crazy or are these properties useless?
