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

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.

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?

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

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?

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

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

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.

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!

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!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:45 (nineteen years ago) link

what about in the game !!!???!?!?! OMGLOLROFFLE etc...

(this isn't going to get old is it?)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:48 (nineteen years ago) link

so where do you go to chat up girls?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:48 (nineteen years ago) link

and what about in the game !!!???!?!?! OMGLOLROFFLE etc...

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Steve, I can't wait to see you at the next FT - you wouldn't want to disappoint Barry now, would you?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I saw a loving couple walking hand in hand over a bridge, so i beat them both to death with my bare hands. this game rocks.

ive found 4 jumps so far, failed them all and now cant remember where they were.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:51 (nineteen years ago) link

there are a few cool jumps out in the boonies, there's one in the goods yard with all th trailers, also one in Blllueberry where you have to get the speed right to get you into the second level of a barn. I jumped a broken bridge round there too last night. good thing os, they give you 500$ to spend on track tops at pro-laps.

I haven't been able to get into zip or didier sachs yet :o(

currently - track top, grey track pants, sunglasses, bald w/goatee, no tats, mid-top sneakers

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 10:59 (nineteen years ago) link

i went into the other "hip" shop, the name of which escapes me, and although it was open, there wasn't anything to buy...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Bincos?!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:05 (nineteen years ago) link

due to the "sickness" yesterday I played for 8 hours, i've unlocked San Fierro. Pretty cool place. I've also stolen a plane and flown to Las Venturas only to be shot out of the sky. The cool thing is now I can take a flight from San Fierro back to Los Santos or vice versa. You can also parachute out of the plane.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:14 (nineteen years ago) link

no not bincos, it's the one that looks trend/hoxtony...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Sub Urban?

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:33 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm guessing oysters will be in san fran, also does this imply that all 100 tags are in Los Santos?

Ah, but I've found an oyster in santos.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:37 (nineteen years ago) link

What is an oyster?

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:39 (nineteen years ago) link

It's harder that all pick-up-ables don't have that 'glowing' graphical effect surrounding them and now they don't stand out anymore.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

it seems like there are far less guns lying around (I've found the AK, grenades, sniper rifle and tec-9 but not much else) also, way less cars are parked around waiting to be nicked, although I found a couple of very nice motorbikes in the multi-storey carpark almost on the waterfront in east los santos (nrg-500s iirc)

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 11:54 (nineteen years ago) link

You mean you haven't done the 'all weapons' cheat?!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 12:20 (nineteen years ago) link

thank you velveteen, sub urban, yes.

i found some body armour in the "atrium" i think, big building in commerce area...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 12:21 (nineteen years ago) link

And there's body armour near the Ammunation, south of your house. If you drive there (going south), then turn west down the road that the shop's on the corner of, and then first right again after that (north), there's a little alleyway on your right (heading east). It's down there.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 12:24 (nineteen years ago) link

yep, there's some in there, but also a couple of armours in the goods yard at the end of teh train line.

The grenades are in the motel behind the pizza place near the gym

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 12:26 (nineteen years ago) link

are you boys getting out enough/enough sleep/doing anything else at all???

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 12:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Chris let me watch the tv for a whole hour last night!
