GTA 5...frustration [View all]

Hi,
Long time gamer, started with Atari, got PS4 last year. Have played a lot of somewhat open world games, Assasin's, Shadow of Mordor, Witcher 3, all of which I enjoyed and enjoyed exploring. I got a used GTA 5 and it sure started off with a bang and I thought this was going to be kick ass. Now I'm stuck. I have two characters, it seems like you have to just luck out to get missions. It says check your phone, all that does is allow me to hook up with friends and get trashed. I haven't figured out how to get to play as Trevor. I get that it is non linear, but geesh, I'm really at a loss. It was fun just driving around and jacking cars and stuff, but now I'm pretty frustrated. Los Santos doesn't seem nearly as big as the above mentioned games. I guess I could just try a walkthrough..not sure what my problem is.

I did look at a map and saw all these alien things on it and a bunch of other stuff, I just can't seem to advance.

Anyone have any suggestions on how the heck to advance in the game better.

On Edit- I don't know why I was being such a dumbass about this game. I followed EarlG's advice, I guess I'm just getting too old for these games, just like everything else in life. I'm now gathering supplies for my first heist.

Peace
