how so? everytime i try i die before i can even get up to 6 stars

cross a bridge to a locked area, doesn't that bring on 6 stars?

Flames_Gimp · 05-08-2008, 09:09 PM

u guys notice the way the people bleed? its improved. murder someone and look down while they bleed out...its also funny how after they are dead you can walk on the body and even roll it over a bit. lol its pretty sick.

also funny to walk up to a car, point your gun at the driver and shoot them in the head. just they way the glass gets sprayed with blood is great.

even for me, its a little disturbing when you start murdering civs, its so much more realistic.

I won't spoil it for everyone, just pm me if you want to know, anyone stolen the helicopter yet?

I went onto some high up pedestrian part of the bridge and got 6 stars by crossing into the off limit area. Was hoping I could go over the road block and into the locked area, but the choppers killed me pretty fast.

Got the game few days after it came out

Awsome game

Anyone jack someones car, then have them try to open the door and pull you out but you take off just as they do so, So there hanging onto the door for dear life while your driving down the road swerving trying to knock them off, I laughed for a good 5 minutes

or hitting a cement fence in a car, flying out the windshield and slamming right into someone standing on the street

I did it the cheap way. Drive up to the north post point when you start the game, hope your car off the cliff and drive down the train tunnels westwards. Once you cross over the middle island, you instantly have 6 stars. Park your car there and wait for 5 minutes and your done. Easy 50 points.

Damn, I was playing around with the police road block the other night. Drove up with decent speed (not a LOT), hit it, stopped, and the coppers laughed at me.

So I then wondered what other warning they would give (and I don't think I have ever had above a 2 star level) so I casually walked up to them. No bad intentions. then BAM 6 STARZ!

So I wheeled around, hopped in my sweet Range Rover Sport (whatever the name was, it had nice rims and great performance), and drove like an animal. I died at 4:30 after taking some unneccesary risks because I didn't know about this achievement.

DAMMIT!

... friday is looking slow ...

This thread makes me laugh, as does the game. Does anyone else get cracked up by Brucie? Man every scene with him makes me laugh.

It's a good stress relieving game. Thanks to whoever it was about the free aim, definitely helps to shoot drivers through the glass!

Brucie is hilarious. I like the main character he is pretty funny too. And some of the things that can be done are a great laugh too.

I love it when people end up holding on the door. I usually try getting just enough speed that they're still barely holding on, and then pulling a violent e-brake slide. Usually throws them into any number of things to hilarious results.

LChoy · 05-09-2008, 10:42 AM

If the guy is holding on and being dragged by me, merging into a concrete divider has proved most satistfying as well

old-fart · 05-10-2008, 09:44 AM

I had a guy clinging to the edge of my (well, his) semi after I jacked it outside Brucie's garage. Truck made a little bumpity bump as he feel beneth the real wheels.

And yes, I did back up... just to make sure.

Well it would be inhumane not to. Poor guy in all that pain.

Flames_Gimp · 05-10-2008, 06:44 PM

i found out if you shoot an ak47 at a dead body it will roll and slide away, like you were spraying it with a firehose hahaha

JD · 05-11-2008, 07:29 AM

I know many of you probably get frustrated when having to traverse Broker Bridge. With it being so narrow and usually jammed with cars, even the most delicate or aggressive driving techniques can leave one stuck.

I have some advice: take a police car and turn on the sirens. People will just frantically move out of your way. Some will even roll their own cars in the desperation of making space for you. It is absolutely hilarious, and a very effective way to go where you're going without the frustration of rush hour traffic!

This game is great, but it's not some sort of amazing breakthrough. It's just the same as all the other GTA's but in a new city. Which is fine by me. Mostly anyway... some of the missions are still mind-numbingly frustrating. I was stuck on Snow Storm for almost 3 days... some sort of bad luck event would always occur.

Snowstorm was pretty good. I beat that one on the 2nd try. Just remember that you don't have to kill every cop after you get the dope (nor should you, because it just raises your wanted level) - Just kill enough to clear the way.

JD · 05-11-2008, 11:47 AM

Well, I ended up figuring out how to climb out of the building and go out the back where my car was ready and waiting. Never even really had to deal with the cops. That's why I love GTA's... there are so many ways of completing missions. The only limitation is your creativity.

metallicat · 05-11-2008, 11:55 AM

Anyone else think some of the cut scenes are just too long? I want to keep watching them so I know what is going on, but they get boring after the first couple of minutes.

Look for the boat on the ocean after you get out of the old hospital...it'll help alot.
