I'm currently trying to gain enough money to buy the 10,000 dollar home next to the LS airport since it'll be very easy to go to SF if I'm too lazy to drive on the highway. The highway is actually lots of fun since I see tons of accidents occur on it. It's also fun 'cause I look like the terminator right now and it feels good to be able to stand up if I get thrown off my bike and shoot the person responsible.

Another thing that I find cool is the fact that there are a lot more properties. I only have 2 right now but they're both really good IMO. I can't wait until I buy all of them so I can save in small villages whenever I'm tired or mom is telling me to stop playing.

Is it hard to control the train? I hear that you have to slow down on turns otherwise you'll end up driving right off the tracks.

[Drakul]

wow that sounds cool.
I didn't know other guys had accidents.

[DS]

Yeah, trains suck to control. Just go as fast as you can and derail the run.

[Optik]

My girlfriend left me because I abused her...

[VJW]

She got mad at me 'cause I kept on taking her to the mod garage. It's red like the heart which makes it looks very similar.

EDIT

SPOILER










Catilina is a very entertaining girlfriend.

[Optik]

Where do you meet Catalina?

[Splaya]

This shit sucks. I'm still stuck on the catalyst. Does Emmet have armor as well as weapons

[VJW]

[Splaya]

Yeah I definitely beat Catalyst. But because I do not have good box throwing skills, I failed the mission

[House of Pancakes]

It's the same Catalina from GTA 3, for anyone who's wondering.

[AareDub]

I was driving around out by the Burger Shot where OG Loc worked and grabbed some random car to drive around. As soon as I did the little mission thing popped up on the top corner and said "Press R3 to toggle pimping mission" or whatever. I had no idea you could do pimp missions

[Splaya]

LOL. Crazy shit.

[Disturbed316]

OMG this game completly rules!

It arrived in the post today at 10:30am and only now have taken a break. I had no breakfast and forgot about lunch

Just on the mission "Wrong side of the tracks" with Big Smoke, failed it twice so far

Kinda anoying that I only have one place to save at the moment, so it can be a long drive back from some places, but once I get more money I'll soon get more pads.

This game =

[House of Pancakes]

For anyone interested, the permanent spots around your house for:

The Broadway Pimping Car: One of the roads extending out from the pizza place/barbershop/pay n' spray area. If you snoop around there, you'll find a gas station with the Broadway parked in the corner.

The Burglary Van: Face the front entrance of the Ganton Gym. To your right you'll see two green apartments. Walk in between them and look around to find the moving van parked here.

The most convenient save house to buy is in Verona Beach. It's right by OG and the CRASH missions, on the other side of town, and it's worth ten grand.

Thanks.

At the moment I have $873

[Splaya]

I have like 3 grand and that's only because I got 2500 from kicking a pimp's ass

[Tornado]

Holy Shit. I have never seen anything like this.

We sold 260 copies of the game on our midnight lauch, the queue took us 90mins to get through, we then sold a further 400 or so copies of the game during the day, meaning we sold somewhere in the region of 660 copies in one day. We also took £17K in cash, and a further £6K in credit/debit cards, bringing our sales to £23K...not bad for a little seaside town eh?
We still have another 360ish copies in our store room, that we aim to sell by the end of tomorrow. It looked as if we wern't gonna get another shipment for around 6 weeks, but we've been promised another shipment if we sell out tomorrow. Fucking crazy day.

[Y2Ant]

I went to GAME at 4pm (I was driving from 2-4 ) and they only had pre-order in, so I went up to Dixons and they had it. Got IDed though.

This game is awesome, I thought I would hate all the gangster-ness of it, but it's actually pretty funny. I got an afro, and beat up some people in the gym.

Stomping on people is so mad funny, the way he does it so fast, I keep pissing myself laughing when beating people up.

Gonna go get into it properly now.

[House of Pancakes]

Alright, now I'm on a roll. After the Burning Desire mission done, I've done the next couple on the first try. I'll tell you what, those missions where you're shooting out of the back of a vehicle... I'm unstoppable at them for some reason. I have one more mission left... the Green Sabre mission... until I take some time in the Badlands, and eventually move on to San Fierro.

[TheNamelessOne]

Got this today, been playing it non-stop.

Some of these missions are so much fun. I've forgotten the name of it, but the one where you are being chased by the Russians while riding on the bike with Smoke is absolutely fucking awesome.

[Azriel]

Wait until Halo 2 comes out, then you'll see craziness.

Jesus christ, I'm hating that bloody train mission

I have done that mission about 5 times now and fail everytime because of Smoke's shitty shooting

How have you guys managed to get Smoke to kill those bastards?

[tucsonspeed6]

If you think Smoke can't hit shit, what about that pothead that lives next door? (I forget his name) In that mission where you steal the guns from the weekend soldiers I had to get off of the forklift like three times and kill everyone in the area to keep him alive because he can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Yeah, I had to do that too

I know wher to drive the bike on that mission but Smoke is so shit at shooting, I always fail

[VJW]

I just beat a race mission that was extremely hard due to the all the windy roads and mountains in the country. It tooks me a fucking hour before I beat the mission! But now I'm gonna work for the Asian guy in SF.

[road doggy dogg]

I finally beat that one, it is mad fun, but kinda annoying too. I drove kinda to the right of the actual tracks, like on the gray stuff, and Smoke seemed to hit them better from there.

The mission after that from Smoke is pretty bad-ass too.

I <3 this game.

Yeah, thats where I had been driving for abit but always ended up clipping a lamp post or bumping into something

Gonna try it again, its so bloody anoying though as Smoke's place is a fair bit away from yours

[DS]

I think I got that one the first time through. He shot them all pretty well I believe.

[VJW]

Does anybody know where you have to go to start missions for the Asian guy? I'm currently at a different computer but I intend to head straight to SF as soon as I get back home.

[DS]

If you just met him then you don't do missions for him, yet. You meet him first then after a while you do missions.

[Scarface]

Some guy went off at me today because he thought I wanted him to buy a copy of gta and all I was trying too do was give it to him for free with his new slim ps2. Ridiculous.

Anyway, played the game this evening. Hot stuff. gonna play some more tommorrow hopefully.

[VJW]

Heh, he sounds like a fucking idiot.

I drove the train for the first time but than it wouldn't move forward once I reached this one station. It confused me and made me upset at the same time since I was having such a good time with it. I just wish that I could change the view.

[DS]

You can change the view. Use the analog stick.

[Champion of Europa]

One of my friends has a friend with San Andreas, and he played it, and said it sucked. His reasons were: Bad graphics and no Tommy Vercetti.

[G]

Ok, went to the top of Mount Whatever and found the parachut. LOL I heard an engine thinking it was another car up here with me and the next thing I know there is a Dodo flying right above me and smacks right into one of the mountain peaks. LOL good stuff. Then on the police bike I shot off that ramp thing beside the flag and bailed off the bike and pulled the chut. Good times. Then hit triangle and fell 423412341231 feet to my death.

Finally got inside the airport and flew to the upper left corner of the map and when I bailed out of the plane I landed with 4 stars. Got shot at point blank.


Love this game

2 pretty pathetic reasons to say the game sucks if you ask me.

[Y2Ant]

Learned some new moves in the gym, and twatted some people with them.

[Optik]

Wow, only mission I have to do is the race for Cesar. I hate races so I started taking over turf, I have 41 areas the mexicans got I think 7 and the ballas have 3. Once they have no more turf do their gangs dissappear or what?
