Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Announced

are theylike subway trains or just normal rail line trains that share the rails with freight trains?

i noticed that there are no rampages in this one.

SPACE GANGSTA, AWAAAAAAAAAAY

It was worth the spoiler just to read that.

Being able to climb walls if you've misread the map is really useful, though you don't notice it until you're missing it.

Proper camera controls! And being able to turn on and off the types of thing that show up on the map!

The fire engine missions are much easier than in VC, because the passengers don't run so much. I went looking for three that had got away 30 seconds ago, and they were clumped together 100 yards up the road, just blazin. In VC, they'd be specks on the horizon.

The fire engine misions also show that there still isn't anything like an proper economy. Work on the missions for up to $500 per if you're lucky OR spend 20-30 minutes and earn enough to but all the $10,000 houses and everything from the clothes stores.

I know everyone said it about VC, but damn, the cops are so much harsher in this. It takes forever for one star to disappear, and the motorcycle cops will give you that star if you even brush off them.

The race in the stadium seems to be a normal race, without crack-fueled crash-addicts and, as such, is deemed counter-fun.

I think the muscle stuff is counter-fun as well. I built up my muscle, and at one point gained enough respect to form a three man gang. If driving around (eg in the paramedic missions) and its attendant drop in muscle loses me that respect, then that is over the line into Simsland.

I'm obviously only near the start, but the scene with B-Dup and Big Bear is grimmer than anything I can remember in GTA3 or VC.

Earlier i killed several cops with that dildo then took to the skies in a plane (at this point i had 4 stars after a few other killings) i spied a police helicopter so i crashed my plane into that, parachuting out in time to hear the explosion and then having the bad luck to land ON A POLICE BOAT!!!!

ive seen 1 two-player rampage, and thats it. they must be well hidden?

Paramedic missions: These were strange in the previous two games, because the positions of the people would be picked randomly from a fixed range. So the most difficult mission was level 3, because you had to go here and here and here, and if they were miles apart you were screwed. Now they start out really close to the hospital, and by leve 12 they're miles away. Also I think the general mayhem logic must have a clause for the passengers in this mission: several times a car has started to pass me, then stopped before it creamed the passenger that's trying to board.

Holy Shit the trip skip! Seriously, they should have called this one GTA4, it make Vice City look like it was made by Traveller's Tales.

is there a ammu-nation in los santos, because my fire-power seems to be letting me down and i have shedloads of cash...

should i be aiming to get my "muscle" stat to the end of the bar? i've done this with my stamina one, but i don't want to turn into some sort of muscle mary...

i pumped up the muscle a lot from the start and it never deteriorated (the regular exercise you get from wasting ballas will keep your muscle going)

I keep beating the shit out of the pool sharks after they take my money again and getting my money back. There's gotta be a better way to make a buck.

You people are so far ahead of me on this.

i keep going to the pizza place and waiting for people to crouch on the floor and then i kill them execution style. There was one woman i made up a whole backstory of kids and stuff for and then i shot her in the back of the head.

i think i need to give this game a break.

I know what you mean, Toaster. Not only did I spend all weekend playing it, but now I can't stop talking about it on the internet.

i still havent seen any one player rampages though. the x50 camera snapshots on the second island are good fun and an excuse to explore the place a bit more.

"Zero's" missions are the fuking hardest ever!

"FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TEL ME"
