PS3 doesn't turn off anything. 360 I think it's only weapons and health.

Two great moments just there. Doing MW missions in Alderney and there's one where the guys are in two Patriots with machine guns, really irritating because if they get a good shot at you in the first few seconds it's insta-kill.

So I parked up a bit down the road, pulled out a rocket launcher, and walked forward until it triggered the "kill the target" part. Both Patriots pulled out of the driveway and were racing at me side by side. I fired, and BOOM! Both cars explode and fly all over the place. Only one of them survived the crash, and I was able to finish him off with the Carbine as he lay on the ground trying to get up. :pac:

Next mission, the guys were at a gas station. I took out all but one, and then the last guy was standing in front of a petrol pump. I shot it and it exploded and your mans body flew forward and hit Niko.

Are you working up the list because the top guy was the only one I had a problem with (as in died). The MotherTucker had a RPG I pulled up in my car and picked off a couple with the Dgal. I was hiding behind my car and then I hear it but it was too late. Second time I had killed everyone and had three star. I had him and shot him in the head but the RPG went off as he died so I failed but it was 3rd time lucky. After this one I had the one of the games weird moment because the guy was doing and arms deal with the hill side posses and I killed everyone there and after I met up with LJ and while driving him home it hit me I killed some of his crew and more likely business partners. I also cost him a lot of money. It was the same feeling I had as Pakie thank me for help bury his brother in the undertaker mission.

Trick to getting the guy at the top of the list is to approach from the West. Do not enter the parking lot via the main gate. I drove towards him and he fired the RPG and it hit the wall in front of him and killed like four of his own men! :pac:

I got shot by another one of buddies though so next time around I approached from the same direction and there's a narrow path with steps leading up to where they were. I took cover by the wall and managed to pick off half of them befoer they even got a shot off. Then just strolled in and picked the rest off.

I can also confirm that spawning cars DOES NOT disable the achievements.

Onto the Stunt Jumps now, in between getting cars for Stevie. My favourite jump so far is the one at #5 on this list. I used an NRG 900, hit the ramp, flew out over the swimming pool, flipped upside down and smashed into the far wall of the pool! Still managed to get the jump though!

Borrowed IV off a friend today. Been ages since I played it, can't even remember the story. Been playing a lot of SA over the past 2 years so the controls are a bit awkward to get used to again.

Bobby Baccala · 25-06-2012 02:35PM

I know it's not GTA but i rented Max Payne 3 last night and so far I'm very impressed, story line is really brilliant and i love the graphics. Really dark game, I like it.

Indeed, an excellent game imo. The interiors in it make me really excited for V. Some stunning graphics and attention to detail.

I know it's not the same team doing GTA, but still.....

Bobby Baccala · 25-06-2012 05:46PM

Even the cutscenes are excellent, i usually get irritated by loads of cut scenes which is why i dont play MGS but i actually look forward to these ones, the graphics are just stunning.

ronan keane · 30-06-2012 12:56PM

This is the sort of stuff I love doing in GTA :P

Mc Love · 30-06-2012 02:17PM

I like getting geared up with body armor and weapons and try and kill as many cops as I can/get as many stars as I can and try and escape the wanted level!!

I go on a little rampage in the restricted area in IV, then hop on an NRG I've left by the gate and try and escape.

Only for a random cop to spawn just as your outside the bubbles and make you eat the dirt of his shotgun

Or worse, if you're tearing down one of the main roads in Algonquin near Middle Park, some of the cops have M4's! :eek:

I'm already getting bored of SA so am thinking about IV again. The problem is all those fcuking phone calls and pigeons and crap that you have to do.

You don't HAVE to do the pigeons... and if you just turn the phone on Sleep Mode you won't get calls AFAIK. And if you don't do activities with them in the first place, they rarely ring you. I've gotten one call from Dwayne, Brucie, Packie and LJ, told them no, and they've never rung back. :pac:

Anything less than 90% is a failure in my book. Think I got about 91% last time.

Played through them all again recently:
III: 96%
VC: 94%
SA: 89% Too many fcuking races :mad:
IV: 91%
TLAD: 95%
BOGT: 91%

xerces · 05-07-2012 01:02PM

Are those percentages related to game completion?

Impressive! I've been trying to get 100% in IV. Working on Stunt Jumps now, then on to Pigeons. Leaving all the friend activities and random characters till last as a reward for doing the tedious stuff.

Bobby Baccala · 05-07-2012 01:30PM

Finally got my GTA IV working again!!!!
It broke when i lent it to a friend who brought it around to another friends house, who fúcking stood on the thing and cracked it. But me being the genius i am got my other mates gta, installed it onto my hard drive and now i play that using the broken disc.

It's ok that the lad broke my gta though, because i destroyed 3 of his call of duty games after it.

That's not a fair trade though. He caused you serious mental anguish by destroying a GTA game. You did him a favour by destroying the CoD games. :P

I remember actually going mental when i accidentaly kicked my xbox and broke mw2, i'd be fúckin delighted to break every last copy on the planet of that game, what a pile of infuriating shíte. The only CoD i've kept is cod4 for old times sake.

The only CoD I've ever played was World At War, which I have to admit wasn't the worst game in the world. :P The final scene where you plant the flag on top of the Reichstag is probably one of my gaming highlights.

Thought I'd give this thread a little bump rather than put this in the V thread.

Grand Theft Auto Controversy Orchestrated by PR Guru [Destructoid]

The series owes a big part of its success to this outrage, and that's hardly a surprise -- the outrage was rigged from the start, admits series creators Dave Jones and Mike Dailly.

According to an interview in the Sunday Times, the makers of the original top-down games hired PR overlord Max Clifford, who manipulated the press to contrive controversy and get the game sold.

"Max Clifford made it all happen," confessed Dailly. "He designed all the outcry, which pretty much guaranteed MPs would get involved … He’d do anything to keep the profile high."

Jones added that the game itself never intended to be so controversial, it's just that Clifford was so good at pulling strings.

"He told us how he would play it, who he would target, what those people targeted would say. Every word he said came true. We knew why every decision was made, and we were never, ever influenced by 'let's do something to create a bit of controversy.'

"We always did everything from the perspective of what's going to be the most fun. It just naturally kept pushing us down the darker direction."

Certainly an interesting piece... not really sure what to make of it at the moment...

Could anyone tell me can you get Vice City and or San Andreas on the PS3 from the PS online store?

Thanks in advance.

Penn · 24-10-2012 08:41AM

Sorry, but only GTA3 is on the Playstation Store. Hopefully won't be long until Vice City and San Andreas come out too, but GTA3 is the only one available now.

Thanks Penn.

Waiting and hoping VC and SA will come out on the PS3.

One of my greatest GTA moments was when i cleared the final mission in SA at 4AM and shouted the house down.:D

Beefy78 · 26-10-2012 11:03AM

I downloaded 'GTA Radio' from the Android Market last night. Its got most of the radio channels from most of the GTA games on it and you can flick through them. Hopefully they add an alarm into it at some point.

I went to sleep last night to the dulcet dones of Lazlow on Chatterbox.

Two questions:

1) Price?
2) Does it stream the audio from the net or download it to your phone?

I remember getting a program for my PC many, many years ago called San Andreas Radio that let you put the SA disc into your PC and then make your own custom playlist using all the songs, ads, and DJ links in the game. Made an hour long radio station that passed away a good few mornings on the hour long journey to Secondary School.
