Whats the update on everyones game %?
I think i'm right at 50% (maybe 49.xx) with about 29 hours in

Easy way to get a car for racing...

 

in case anyone else is doing the races for brucie or just wants a Ferrari (Turismo), about two blocks from the safe house you get on the east side of the second island (downtown NY) there is a clothing store and on the next corner past it is a car dealership that has about 6 turismo's at all times, easy way to get a decent car for races if you just take a taxi to the clothing store and grab a car

I hate the racing. I always get nudged at high speeds and lose control. I can't even beat the first one.

i have lost a few on the last lap with a quick flip of the car around a bend but i think i've only completed 5 or so and i think you need to do 20 for the achievement (xbox 360), but i do like racing it has always been one of my favorite side missions

[analogue SPRINKLES]

I find racing in first person easier.

[sek929]

I'm at 35% with around 20 hrs right now, just unlocked the second island. Current favorite weapon is the assault shotty.

Racing is easy, just hang back at the start and let everyone collide into a giant heap at the first turn. Then race conservative FTW!

Something that pissed me off is that my Comet (from Brucie's mission) disappeared from my parking spot randomly. So I've been forced to scavenge for good cars to race with.

Also just unlocked the ability to get picked up in a helicopter whenever I want, haven't tried it out yet though.

yea dude i just got that too and its awesome for hard missions with a wanted level, just call him and he'll drop on the nearest roof and you can use him as your escape route, he'll take you anywhere in the city.

Seems like an easy way for me to get the 'Evade 4 stars" achievement.

[analogue SPRINKLES]

So anyone get higher than 4 stars? I can't no matter what I do. They get really pissed if you drive around in the airport but still not 4+ pissed.

[ort888]

At the beginning when the cops are blocking the bridges, if you mess with them, it's an instant 6 stars. I was never able to get away though, 6 stars is serious business.

[ort888]

When do you get the guy who delivers weapons in his trunk? I'm about 30% in or so and I have yet to see him? Did I miss something or do I have further to go?

Before you unlock an island trying to get to it will get you 6 stars. I got my "One Man Army" achievement by getting in a speed boat and shooting over to a locked island, and once I got my 6 stars just rode around the map for 5 minutes. Easiest achievement yet.

You missed something. It's Little Jacob from the first island.

my advice dakar is buy the shotgun, most of the guys are pretty close range and don't worry about killing everyone, what i did was kill the guys i could see and begin to make my way out and killed a few guys on my way to faustin. Once you get outside and follow him upstairs to the roof theres not that many guys. It definitely took me a few tries (very frustrating mission).

Yeah, my friend who beat it also echoed the shotgun sentiment. I have a feeling I've been rushing it. It's also dreadfully dark outside and I can't see a thing.

I figure you're being polite here, but I've never been a GTA master or anything. This not all that surprising.

It should be noted I've somehow managed to get 26% of the game done without getting past this mission.

[analogue SPRINKLES]

So has anyone gotten to the point where you have the option to sniper the corrupt cop or his brother?

I shot the cop and after came a cool funeral mission that turned into a shootout and me speeding the coffin to the graveyard without letting it fall out the back.

I'm wondering what would have happened if I shot the other dude though.

nope not there yet, but i have a feeling i'm close...notice the spoiler box, FYI

[jamil5454]

I just got it for PS3 and never having played a GTA game before, I have to say this is one sweet game. Played for about 12 hours total and haven't had any of the freezing issues others have had.

The multiplayer seems like endless fun... but there NEEDS to be some sort of replay system! The ragdoll physics make for some really unique and memorable moments.

Anywho, if any PS3onians out there want to link up just PM me your PSN id.

Christ, spoilers, people, spoilers.

does this mean your still on the first island? if so my friend let me tell you that you must finish this mission and move on to the wonders that are the second and third island, many good times to come.

future mission info inside...

 

i think its soon but i'm unsure, you will do a bank robbery that is a awesome mission and soon to follow are some great chases through the city and sniping missions.

Although everymission has such a basic objective I.e. (not internet explorer), kill someone, get a car, get away from cops, kill someone again...they feel so different and fresh because of the way there presented, also later on as you unlock abilities like the helicopter ride from Brucie it makes planning your mission ahead of time an entire objective in it self.

 

also to note the 'better' cellphone you get is an creative way to give you mission objective and pictures of people that you can search in the police car database...genius rockstar genius
