I completed 70 Gold Medals across all of the missions and strangers and freaks. Some of the missions were much more difficult to Gold Medal than I expected. Others turned out to be easy, once I figure it out the particular method. For example, I did “friend request“ a dozen times, and couldn’t use the controller to close the pop-up advertisements fast enough. It was ridiculous. It turns out that Michael’s special ability can be used, taking the counter down to 1/4 speed. That was pretty cool.
The Grass Roots: The Drag mission required a dozen attempts. I was missing the required time by a second or two. Franklin‘s driving speed ability can be used, but the towed car does not follow the same physics. That makes it… exciting. I was seriously done with that mission by the time I cleared it.
All the other missions allow players to clear one check box or more each time, but they don’t have to get them on the same run. That’s not true for rampages, where meeting each win-condition will bump your grade from bronze to silver to gold. Some were tricky.
Next, I continued and got 100% completion by the game’s math. Races are stupid easy with Franklin. Even after 100%, there are still some strangers and freaks missions remaining, e.g. it awards 100% before Franklin goes hunting Bigfoot.
The “Online: Rob all 20 Stores” trophy didn’t unlock, though my transferred character has all the stores checked off. I’d heard even going through them all, it may not register. Today I used a 2nd character (with no check marks) to rob each in turn. Bingo.
I have only got one Trophy left to go, the “co pilot a rally race.” Gonna get my BIL to help tomorrow.
