Is that for the heli?

I had him down to like 40% like a couple of days ago, now I've got him at 54% (I'm done with all his missions besides the races) but I guess I should keep going bowling with him? This is sorta the one negative I've seen in this game, the lack of variety of places to go when you HAVE to hang out constantly with like 8 different people. And you have to pick them up, take them somewhere, do the activity, then drive them home. This is the only tedious thing I've seen so far.

I think it's more how time consuming everything is. Drinking is instantaneous, but the buzz lasts just as long as one of the other venues. All that leaves is eating, which I feel lame doing constantly. Also, fat.

Yea actually the best thing for brucie is the helicopter tours you take with the chicks, if you call him and ask click heli tour instead of bowling or food its a fun mission (fly to a landmark and fly back) and its his favorite activity (correct me if i'm wrong but i think it adds 11% to his like each time)

[Nodnarb]

Good call, I'll give that a try.

They should've put in a gym to take Brucie to. Take him to work out, get a work out yourself, and get like 20% to his Like meter each time. He'd love that.

Agreed and wheres the smoking weed option for little jacob then you could follow it up with a nice trip to burger shot and order one of everything.

Hah! Have you noticed that when you drive LJ around, smoke just billows out of your windows. That dude can puff!

[Dakar the Fourth]

Oh yeah, the first time I was trying to figure out why the car was close to death.

[sek929]

One man, no matter how rasta, cannot produce that much smoke.

[Dakar the Fourth]

It's a video game, sek.

Plus, did you record a video of you trying to mythbust that?

Rockstar's Social Site is killing me. My stats update rarely. I just realized how rarely, since the one section lists my completion at 23% even though as of last night I stand at 40%.

Where do you even see your stats in the social club?

[Dakar the Fourth]

Liberty City Marathon. It's not like the stats menu from the game.

Details I've come to appreciate after 30 hours:

Cars have rear defrosters.
Windshield dirt.
The extra info on the back of cars (i.e., V12, SE, etc.)
The explosion of feathers from killing a flying rat.
Fat ugly hookers.
The crazy homeless people, where they're found, what they say and do.
Beater cars.
Three types of taxi.
Cars available as convertibles, and also with the soft-top up.
The treads on tires.
Blood smears on cars.
Cars that stall, or completely die instead of blowing up.
Dialing 911 to have it restart.
How police cars give a brief burst of their siren when you violate minor traffic laws (running red lights, driving on the wrong side of the road). Unnerving in the middle of a mission, sometimes.
The difference between trying a stunt jump at 9 am and 9 pm, traffic-wise.
How the radio DJs allude to the time of the day during their segues.
How current the radio news is.
The damage modeling - if I wrap the rear around a pole, the trunk becomes a U. After too many stunt landings, tires go askew, affecting handling.
The glow of headlights and taillights when viewing the city from a distance.
Cabbies who flick butts and bob their head to the music on the radio.
The wet shine from the road and sidewalks when it rains.


Feel free to share your faves.

A detail that I noticed was one in which I had just taken Brucie out to eat. I had stopped short of returning him home, because their conversation wasn't over yet, and I wanted to hear all of it. While panning the camera around, Niko would look over at Bricie as they spoke. If I stepped on the gas, Niko would look ahead. As soon as I stopped, he would look back at Brucie. Also, if the radio is on, and music is playing, Niko does a little dance to the music while in the car. All very subtle. It is details like these that are often missed my many, and the fact that it is these details that were put into the game, is what makes it so amazing.

I think the Social Club stats are for the percentage of the Marathon tasks completed, not for the percentage of the game completed.

I like the world reactions most of all. I took a cab to a place, and get out for a mission. The cab driver hits a guy. The guy cussed him out and hit the hood, then went the driver side and pulled him out the car. Beat him down and stole the cab. Classic.

Random car crashes and fender benders all over.
People's cell phones ringing with them talking on them at random on the street
Use of the Police computer when you steal a Police car
Music playing in the car when you get out you can still hear
Intro Music (Soviet Connection)
Internet Cafe ads
Riding a motorcycle with the SIXAXIS in traffic (whoa)
Reaction from people if you bump them with the car.
When the shooting starts people get the hell out of the way and get cover.
Hot wiring a car and driving down the street with the alarm going off

That's not what I was saying.

[klb5090]

Flying through the windshield
Radio news of recent missions
Changing type of police siren while driving (click and hold right thumb stick)
Rain effects, driving conditions
Fog effects over the bridges
The Sultan and the Sultan RS Differences (RS obviously a regular Sultan with a black (carbon?) hood and roof, wide body kit, and turbo, as you can hear the blow off valve and turbo whine when the gears shift...AWESOME)
Car theft animations (elbow, foot, jump in convertible)
...plus many things Dakar mentioned.

What hes saying is that if you click 100% club it says cannot enter until 100% and at the bottom it will flash your % completed, mine is also way out of date it says 42% and i broke 62% yesterday.
