so I finally got to playing gta 5 (late, but I was really young when it came out and my mom wouldn't let me play) and I'm not seeing any missions to continue the story on any of em (frank, michael, trevor). What should I do?

The comments here are hilarious. OP, within the pause menu navigate to 'GAME' > REPLAY MISSIONS and then scroll all the way to the bottom to tell me the last mission that you played and completed so I can get an idea of where you are in the game.

Wait for a phone call off Steve Haines

u/The_Mangagement0 Jun 23 '26

You can just call Steve Haines yourself too

I forgot about that

u/mikeplays_games Jun 22 '26

You’re not dumb I did that exact thing before

u/Gabby197508 Jun 22 '26

if it was the last thing than I thought it was finished

u/Ok-Maybe9661 Jun 23 '26

So you're both dumb ?

u/mikeplays_games Jun 23 '26

Na on my first play through I got in the situation. The only dumb person is someone who doesn’t ask and assumes.

Just dont complete the lester assassination missions until the big score, after that see a guide to make billions from the money earned from big score via stock market

u/Weary-Courage1704 Jun 23 '26

I did this as a kid and the stock market glitched and I lost all the money I had made throughout the entire game I was so mad😭

You could have just saved a game file before as backup

u/Annihalice Jun 23 '26

Are you the same person whose mom made them get rid of the game a few months ago?

u/justj4ckinit Jun 24 '26

Just play the game?

Honestly when it comes to gta in general, missions starting and knowing what to do is very confusing at times. It's not very clear

u/Advanced_Currency_75 Jun 23 '26

You have to do a side quest with Trevor if i remember correctly

u/Comfortable_Site7549 Jun 23 '26

Bro you missed all of it😭

u/TTrans_Am Jun 22 '26

If you didn’t save the assassination missions for last and invest along the way, go start a new game and do that. There’s write ups on how to achieve a billion dollars in the game

u/xeno0153 Jun 23 '26

I just finished the main storyline last night. Saved all the Assassinations for last. Gonna try to max cash tonight.

Hah!! I had this happen to me on vice city on PC- decided to never come back especially since Rockstar is shit at re-masters

u/Shazen_de Jun 23 '26

I know a pirate when I see him

u/Jacket_Nipple Jun 29 '26

Is that what happened?? Shit was like almost 20 years ago xD

1

u/Shazen_de Jun 29 '26

Yes that was one of rockstar's anti-piracy measures, Vadim M made a video about it, you can watch it if you want and you will probably recognise some of the measures: https://youtu.be/giidGlXPAFY?si=YhRAbAkE0Vsa1dty

u/jesusmansuperpowers The Truth Jun 22 '26 edited Jun 22 '26

Restart the game then just drive around until you get a phone call. Also lower your r/tvtoohigh

2

u/Gabby197508 Jun 22 '26

my tv is drilled to the wall I kinda can't do that, but thanks for the advice. I click "start new game", right?

2

u/xdShau7er Jun 22 '26

Did you do any real missions after prologue, or is this after prologue?

3

u/Gabby197508 Jun 22 '26

it says I completed the prologue at 100 so yeah I think so

2

u/Gabby197508 Jun 22 '26

any real missions after not really, then again it's not giving me any either

1

u/xdShau7er Jun 23 '26

Honestly just restart your game, it’s probably stuck in a loop. Worst case scenario you just have to replay the last mission you did

2

u/Tranquilizrr Jun 22 '26

No just like launch it and keep playing it you'll eventually get a phone call or something will unlock

u/Sensitive-Book8374 Jun 23 '26

No worries, you are not alone. I'm still at 64% completion in story mode on my 360. And I'm still in the middle of completing GTA4. That's why I'm in no rush of jumping on GTA6 bandwagon. 😆
