The countryside areas are very impressive with the luvly grass effect, I've only played the game for 50 minutes today at lunch time.

Huge Session tonight i think.

Have you guys eaten too much, it's really funny, you throw up! Also have you played the arcade games in the bar?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 1 November 2004 14:33 (nineteen years ago) link

no, and yes.

DUALITY is the best arcade game i've found so far, it's completely incomprehensible, just as arcade games were in the early 90s...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 1 November 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Indeed! The tattoos & hairstyles are really funny too!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 1 November 2004 14:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I heard that Gradius was one of the games, haven't seen them yet.

Can you shave all your hair off? This is the only hair style i approve of.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 1 November 2004 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

i am currently bald with a goatee, although i nearly went for the pink mohawk last night...

I'm happy to see I'm not alone in struggling with Just Business. Each time I've tried it, I've gotten through the fence, and then around the part where there are barrels, there's some sort of explosion and I fail the mission. Very very annoying.

Anyone know what the red mark on the map is that's called the "Player Target"?

Forklifting is tough and I cannot get past that bit yet, tatoos rule, as does running around with huge muscles and no top on (phweet phew) so far my fav bit is going to what looks like a university near the airport and killing students who diss my way of life.
I am a mean pool hustler (only beaten once and a grand way to increase your money). I like thre bit when you drive to the badlands using the train tracks – when you steal a car you get instant 4 stars and the hick police kick the poo outta yah, steal a bike and huge chasing ensues, brill.

does anyone know where the flying school is? I looked around the airport but nothing so far

― james (james), Monday, 1 November 2004 15:43 (nineteen years ago) link

it's in las venturas I think.

I got out the far end of the tunnel in just business, and then exploded, grrrrrrr

the player target works by finding what you need on the map (I use it to find a pay n spray) clicking on it and instead of the easy to miss icon on yr radar, there's a 'kin huge red dot to aim for

pimping missions are ace, and a money spinner too.

Has anyone actually started doing any of their new-found GTA habits (pimpin', whackin' etc.) in real life yet?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 1 November 2004 15:56 (nineteen years ago) link

ken c now has corn rows.

and you should see what he's done to your old car!!

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Monday, 1 November 2004 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Dude, has he pimped his ride?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 1 November 2004 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

i've been playing this game all weekend and also just finished reading 1984.. my actual dream last night was me being in some weird inner struggle between committing thoughtcrimes and physical crimes!!!!!!!!!! Grand Thought Auto, if you may!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 1 November 2004 16:00 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost

it now BOUNCES!

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 1 November 2004 16:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Kewl!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 1 November 2004 16:01 (nineteen years ago) link

fo' shizzle, bizzle lazizzle etc...

i saw a truck with ladders on the back this morning and thought, "JUMP!!"

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 1 November 2004 16:01 (nineteen years ago) link

ken has also installed an analogue controller in place of the steering wheel...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 1 November 2004 16:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I had a strange collusion of GTA and real life yesterday when I pulled up in a car in front of my friend's house to meet hime and some other friends.

― 57 7th (calstars), Monday, 1 November 2004 18:50 (nineteen years ago) link

where are the drug dealers? i hear they carry lots of $$$

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 1 November 2004 18:51 (nineteen years ago) link

It's pretty annoying that your home base is not marked on the radar. I'm getting a lost more frequently in this one than III or VC.

― 57 7th (calstars), Monday, 1 November 2004 18:53 (nineteen years ago) link

open up the map and place a red target

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 1 November 2004 19:13 (nineteen years ago) link

also, getting lost probably has a lot to do with this being about 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 x bigger.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 1 November 2004 19:18 (nineteen years ago) link

what number is 300 million trillion?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 1 November 2004 19:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I didn't realize you could customize the map.

― 57 7th (calstars), Monday, 1 November 2004 19:29 (nineteen years ago) link

just one target, unfortunately...

i just got this yesterday. anyone know why whenever i go to flint county i automatically get 4 wanted stars anytime someone sees me?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 1 November 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Cuz you're a black man out in the sticks?

I don't have this game, but if this is true, YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Monday, 1 November 2004 19:44 (nineteen years ago) link

it's cuz you have to offically unlock that area first

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 1 November 2004 19:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I've suddenly been noticing loads of dealers around, they're either black guys in black tanktops and chains or white guys in white hoodies with the hood up.

'Just Business' = best mission ever!

The NPC AI's definitely an improvement, you can just wait around in a busy place and you'll see a shootout/drug deal/old woman with baseball bat road rage incident. Has anybody seen a plane crash yet?

I sprained my ankle a couple days ago and tried to heal it by eating fried chicken

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 03:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Ok, I was unsure, but tonight I got converted. I was walking along a street in the built up city-centre area, heading to get a burger, minding my own business, when suddenly, out of the blue, I heard two HUGE explosions. I walked round the corner to see where they'd come from...and OH MY FUCKING GOD! A fucking AEROPLANE had CRASHED right in the MIDDLE of the FUCKING CITY!!!! I actually felt real physical shock, I was just utterly gobsmacked. It's definitely a new entry in my top ten videogaming moments of all time.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 03:37 (nineteen years ago) link

I was reading a topic on GAMEFAQS where a guy was describing a mission where he had to kill some Ballas, and there were loads left and he was down to his last sliver of health and hiding behind a car, so he grits his teeth and gets ready to go for a glorious last stand type deal, all of a sudden the screen says mission complete, and when he steps out the Ballas are underneath a crashed aeroplane. That made me grin like an idiot even though it didn't happen in my game.

― M1chael Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ann0yman (Ferg), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 03:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I came across a blackened plane in the road too -- I assumed it was just a program glitch.

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 03:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I haven't been able to figure out how to get to the planes at the airport. I just drive around in circles on the sublevel.

Also, anyone know where to pick up the katana? I found an AK near the movie studio, but no katana yet.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 03:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I think you have to kill a mission boss in San Fierro.

I am taking flying lessons now and oh boy they are not particularly easy.

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 07:37 (nineteen years ago) link

You have to steal a car to climb on so that you can climb over the wall. Then you will find a plane that you can steal. You have to be careful though, because they will shoot the plane out of the sky!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 08:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I FOUND ME A HUGE PINK DILDO - yay me but i feel sorry for the poor sherrif who got beaten up with a wanger

― james (james), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 08:53 (nineteen years ago) link

heh!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 08:56 (nineteen years ago) link

hahaha i thought he said "pink's dildo" just then

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 09:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Oi!!! heh!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 09:45 (nineteen years ago) link

OMG "Trucker Hat", how i did laugh.

have you played the arcade game in your house, on the game console under the tv?

Settled into this damn fine game nicely. Has anybody found any 'horseshoes' or 'oysters' yet?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:20 (nineteen years ago) link

the trucker hat looks rub as well, i liked the "helmut" though. i'm pretty certain horseshoes will be found in las vegas, so i'm guessing oysters will be in san fran, also does this imply that all 100 tags are in Los Santos?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:26 (nineteen years ago) link

ah yes good thinking, thats probly right.

so has anybody opened up the other cities yet? what percentage are you all on? im only on 4% so far.

and 70!! unique jumps!!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:31 (nineteen years ago) link

i ate fried chicken till i puked!!!

― stevie (stevie), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:33 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm on about 5.8% i think.

haha, i thought you meant you had DONE 70 unique jumps...
i've found one down by the railway tracks, but couldn't build up enough speed to clear it.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Have any of you purchased the joke glasses & nose?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:39 (nineteen years ago) link

hahha i was tempted!

my sex appeal seems to change from moment to moment - one minute (normally just after a mission) i'm like about halfway and minutes later it goes to rock bottom!! Also, sometimes i keep getting comments like "Dude you stink!!!" from everybody so where do I go to get a shower?!?!?!? (I tried swimming in the canal, didn't work)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:41 (nineteen years ago) link

god that post is going straight to ILX out of context i bet

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:42 (nineteen years ago) link

no, dawg, i'm trying to look fly here...

current attire:

green watch hat
aviators
bald with goatee
white vest
cross tat on right forearm
urban camo trousers
green lo-tops (seemingly adidas)

i rock ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Sex appeal seems to be all about what car you've just been driving. Steal a flash car from the financial district, zip it around a bit, and get out and your bar will probably look pretty healthy.

― Jason J, Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:44 (nineteen years ago) link

James worked out in the gym & got loads of muscles, now he gets ladeez saying 'nice muscles' all of the time!
