GTA San Andreas Pics

Show some respect to me please or i will whaack you both

I hope you realize that ther are black people on this board who were probably not happy with some of the things you said.

You need to learn some things about respect. You get respect only when you give it first.

I hope you realize that ther are black people on this board who were probably not happy with some of the things you said.

[/b][/quote]like what? what did i say against them? i said i hated that the lead guy in the new gta was black, not i hate black people, kid :rolleyes:

I agree, Finally.


GSMD,
Stop asking for respect. You are annoying. You insulted black people by talking about Homie G's and other careless comments like positive discrimination. You are not only making black people on here mad, but everybody else, espessially ME!

Doctor Ferro

P.S. Stop calling everyone a kid. It's obvious you are a kid.

word of advice greek don stop causing rifs or the don will kick you off the site

dont say i didnt warn you.

ok, guys keep ur knickers on

I hope you realize that ther are black people on this board who were probably not happy with some of the things you said.

[/b][/quote]like what? what did i say against them? i said i hated that the lead guy in the new gta was black, not i hate black people, kid :rolleyes: [/b][/quote]ok I am italian so I am allowed to say this. If I go around an Italian neighborhood and say nothing but greaseball, wop, guinne (yeah I spelled that wrong lol) and stuff like that BUT I DON'T SAY I HATE ITALIANS, are people going to hate me.

I'll give you 2 guesses, I'll even give you a hint one of your guesses shouldn't be no.

Let me also point you to the fact that I was not disrespectful to you, yet you called me kid which is a sign of disrespect. You have a lot to learn.

I don't wear knickers. Shape up.

Doc

i did not mean to offend you my friend

You are not my friend. Let's get off this subject.

Doc

this is getting stupid now were ment to be talking about gta on this post,i think were getting a way from the subject.if he is annoying you report him or can you do you anything with him.

you spurn the hand of friendship

Just STOP! Stop posting these little comments! NOBODY CARES ABOUT POST COUNT! LET'S TALK ABOUT GTA OR NOTHING!

Doctor Ferro

Exampe: Do not make a post after this that says "ok! "

I have anxiety attacks and you are not helping them, i love gta

Holy Cow man, I realize I'm feeding your need attenton but I will report any post you put in here that does not include GTA. "i love gta" does not count. Seriously stop. Now.

The Doc

P.S. Seriously. Even if you feel you might die unless you post something random.

P.P.S. As for your "attacks". How come in the Sopranos forum, why did you ask if anyone ever had them and ask what they feel like?
Oh, becuase you are a liar.

Holy Cow man, I realize I'm feeding your need attenton but I will report any post you put in here that does not include GTA. "i love gta" does not count. Seriously stop. Now.

The Doc

P.S. Seriously. Even if you feel you might die unless you post something random. [/b][/quote]He is just messing with you. He knows what to say that will piss you off.

I honestly have no time to go through and read all the info and look at the pics and all that so if anyone would be so kind as to compare what you know of the games to gta3 and vice city. Are we talking better than both maybe better than gta3 and not vice??? etc

Well GTA3 improved on the first 2 with losing the "above only view". Vice city brought helicopters, "flying" planes, and motorcycles. As well as Ray Liotta. In this one you can swim, do tricks on bikes, upgrade cars, ect... It Looks fantastic.

The Doc

but on the downside you have to be a melanzane or mavros as the greeks say

what did I just get through saying about the word respect.

its about GTA JESUS!

you already received a warning from SC about your posts and then even after I pointed out about the fact that there are black people on this board and to not use those types of words you do it anyway.
You are either really ignorant or really immature either way it is no excuse.

what did I just get through saying about the word respect. [/b][/quote]Don't worry, I just reported him. Hopefully he gets removed.

Anyways, I seriously think this will improve on the previous titles gameplay wise. The environment seems unreal. I really can't wait.

Doctor Ferro

you chivato, for what, ok I will act more mature I prmoise this now

the greco siciliano don

STOP REPLYING TO EVERYTHING. God, you are wrong, and stop calling people things you heard in movies. Take your head out of your ass and GROW UP.

You insult me? After I reported you?

Doc

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

report me for what? what did I do why do you all hate me

You are spamming and replying to EVERYTHING.

I just want to make friends

donferro and Vercitti- if you don't post anything there will be nothing for him to reply to

First of all I reported you because we asked you nicely to stop talking about the main character being black and calling him dirogitory names.

You did not.

Then you started calling us names and spamming and replying to everything.

Now you must go. I personally hope you get banned for good.

Bye

Doctor Ferro

I just want to make friends here, Im sorry if i pissed you guys, off i will change and hopefully earn your respect if i am given the chance, why do you hope i get banned?

You are not sorry. I explained why I hope you get banned. If you post ONE MORE THING NOT RELATED TO GTA, I WILL REPORT YOU AGAIN! Make that last comment your last about this discussion.
Now back to GTA.

Doctor

pardon? anyway back to gta, any one know what other gangs will feature?

If you had cared to accually read this thread, you would know we discussed this earlier. Stop increasing your post count with info that has already been discussed.

Doc

anyone know what characters from previous gta titles will feature?

Again, discussed. Go and read the previous posts before you do this again.

Doc Ferro

well Doc that is it, he was banned.


I guess we will have to go back to disagreeing now :p

GSMD has been banned in case anyone was wondering. Now, back to GTA. I really think it is cool that you can swim. I used to hate crashing into the water and being forced to die.

I think they will have to do the swimming right though. Like I don't think you should be able to swim hours on end with out losing some health. Or if you crash into the water in a car it should cost you health to get out.

I can see this. Cause when you crash into the water, yeah, that would hurt. I'm just looking forward to not dying as soon as I touch the water.

The Doc

Wow this thread has seriousely been tainted. Its a good thing it wasnt locked, because I rely on this thread for certain links. All things considered, I am glad he was banned because of all the controversy, but all the same, I think he was unfairly banned. I kind of feel sorry for him. But whatever, lets just drop it.

I have to disagree Raging Bull, I'm glad he was banned because I just had to read through two pages of crap before I could find someone talking about the game. It was rediculous.

As far as the swimming thing goes, I'll be happy if you can only swim for a couple minutes. There were so many times when I accidentally jumped off a dock or what-have-you and the AI didn't jump me back on so that I drowned, inches from the dock. I don't know if I'll really be into swimming around, looking for underwater hidden packages. The whole idea reminds me of the original Ninja Turtles game for Nintendo when you have to swim around and disable all the bombs on the dam. Anyone remember that?

If I didn't have football, I'd probably be skipping with my friends on Tuesday.

That is what I want to do, but my parents wont fucking let me. And I have no desire to do it while deceiving them along with the school, because the last time I did that, it didnt go so well.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you guys here?

This blows! I just sold my PS2 about 2 months ago. I might have to get another one just so I can play this game. :rolleyes:

turns out whoever has it reserved is in luck gamestop called today saying that i could pick it up tomorrow (monday) at 7pm instead of tuesday

17

I do remember that Ninja Turtles game. I still have it.

I definetly don't want to swim all day long. Just not die when ever I get close to the damn water.

Scarface, that really sucks for me man. I ordered a while ago through Amazon and mine comes tomorrow.(Tuesday) I wish I would have known that. Those few extra hours with it a day before it was released would have been bliss. Make sure you post how fun the game is.

Doctor Ferro

Looks like some stores around here are releasing GTA today. Tonight at Best Buy is friends/family night and whoever knows people that work there get a 20 % discount. I know someone from my business class. GTA a day early and 20 % off. Not bad...

i cant wait for it to come out,doing tricks on the bike will be good, will it be on push bu=ikes , or motorbikes. i remember you could do wheelies on the bikes.

Not fair.

I'm not jealous at all, not at all :rolleyes: but i know i won't be reading this thread tomorrow or when some of you lucky americans get it before me i won't read it then cos i'll just want it even more.

http://gtadomain.gtagaming.com/

With GTA San Andreas being officially released tonight at 12AM, most of you have heard of EB and GameStop selling the game to the people who pre-ordered, tonight at 7pm in N.A (including me). Now, comes the update everyone has been waiting for. Tonight, you'll be seeing:

Full vehicle list (over 200!)
All weapons
All radio stations info (including WCTR)
Criminal rankings
All car mods
All hairstyles
All clothing
Rewards given
Girlfriends, in-depth
The 2-player games
And much more!

Guys, I actually found myself playing GTA 3 today for some reason. Later I will probably play Vice City. I guess I just need something to surpress the anticipation.

DV- do you kn ow when these things will be released? I have been checking your link, and nothing really has changed.

Yeah, I've been playing Vice City today.
Even though the features on San Andreas are AMAZING, I'm going to miss having Ray Liotta as the lead.

Yep. I'm playing GTA 2 and 3 now. I just got an e-mail from Amazon, my copy was shipped today and will reach me by OCTOBER 28-30. MY GOD!! GAHHHH!

Doctor

GODDAMN. My bro said he ordered it on Amazon. It's shipping on Wed. and has a 3-5 Business day arrival. Which means I won't see it until AFTER the weekend

Why do you guys waste your time online? Why not just go to Best Buy?

Because 2 reasons.

1. I'm at college, Best Buy's are scarce around here.

2. I thought it would be sold out everywhere anyways.

Doc

Don't worry, I order from Amazon all the time. They usually come faster than the website predicts.

Pat, I preordered mine from Best Buy, and I am going to pick it up this afternoon.

Today is the day fellas.

I'm one of those folks who won't be getting it today . But hopefully early next week. It may have to wait till the first of the month because of halloween. But within the next two weeks, IT WILL BE MINE!!!! .

yeah me too noing me and my cash I say next
year

I have ordered it from amazon and it still says 29th-30th and will hopfully stay that way, also after seeing your post i was in panic and went to check my e-mails to see if they haved delayed it.

Don't worry, I order from Amazon all the time. They usually come faster than the website predicts.

Pat, I preordered mine from Best Buy, and I am going to pick it up this afternoon. [/b][/quote]So my bro ordered it last evening, when should it come? :p

in the u.k we have to wait till the 29th oct until it comes out

I took the afternoon off school to get it, and I've been playing it ever since. I thought the muscle and fat system would just be a chore, but it's quite easy and it's fun to box in the gym. They've even infiltrated side missions into certain cars so that you can be a pimp. This game is also very very huge! They say fuck and the n word quite a bit so if you are offended by them I suggest this is'nt the best game for you, but for me and many other people this is game of the year, or even best game ever.

I bought this game at about 3 o clock and started playing it shortly after. I litteraly blinked my eyes, and now its after 6.

This is undoubtedly the greatest game of the GTA series. The streets of Los Santos are so confusing and plentiful, that I dont think I will ever completely memorize them, but thats what we all said with Vice and Liberty. The minigames are AWESOME. Basketball, videogames, pool, and god knows what else. Also, the missions are much more clever and realistic. To me, this is one of the greatest features, because I was pretty sick and tired of wacky impossible missions from the previous two. Also the characters talk and act like real people would act. They curse excessively (Almost obnoxiouseley). There are many fast food places to eat. Theres a bar, barber, tatoo parlor, gym, a clothes store, and probably much more. One thing I didnt really like was the fact that police motorcycles (which are a blast to ride) appear way too often. Also, there seems to be a lack of BMX bikes which seemed really cool in the early part of the game. Another thing I didnt really enjoy was the graphics. IMO, the graphics got a little worse. But none of this deviated from the superb quality of the game.

I played for 3 hours straight and had a blast, but the amazing part is that I didnt even leave Los Santos. Hell, I didnt even get to the outter edges of the city. Let that say how huge the landscape is. If I had to choose a word, I would say that it is simply monstrous. So if you dont have it yet, get your ass in the car and go fucking get it! This is probably the best game I have ever played.

Is it true you are killed much quicker then the other games?

Well, I guess it's not coming today. I'm so pissed. I really wanted to pop it in. I had nothing to do tonight.

Doc

Yea it seems so, maybe a little bit. But its not that much of a drag. I will tell you one th ing though that I noticed, and thats that the cops are extremely incopetent. They make every badge from Vice City look like Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon. But maybe its just cause its the early stages of the game. But Im not saying that this is a bad thing. Its actually quite appreciated.

This game is deinetly the best of the GTA series. I heard we can add hydraulics and shit to cars too. I just back back from the gym. I'm going to see if I can pick up any prostitutes. :p

I already got my muscles full, and my sex appeal is half full. As far as prostitutes, yea you can pick them up.

How long is it all?

I hear you get fat in 3 hours of playing and how long does it take to get muscular?

For car info, read the updates http://gtadomain.gtagaming.com/

This looks like an awesome game. I can't wait for Xbox. It totally sucks being black, though. I despise that whole punk gang culture to play as an Italian mobster. I can't wait even more for the cheats to play as Vercetti.

Are you talking about the game or real life pat?

Doc

To those of you who really dont like the idea of playing as a thug, I have to say that its really not bad. I too resented the idea of not playing as somebody like Vercetti, but CJ is a nice change of pace.

I got mine at 4pm yesterday, and I have been playing ever since (except now I'm at school).

The only problem I have with it is that you don't seem to make any money on the missions, which limits my purchases.
But other than that, it is AMAZING. This place is huge, and I haven't even been all around Los Santos!

I also love working out at the gym. My muscle is already at the max.

Can someone that buys quite alot of amazon what the odds are of it being here on time? because i am slighty worried and will be angry if it doesn't turn up on the day it is surpose to.

Are you talking about the game or real life pat?

Doc [/b][/quote]I wish I could be talking about both, but I'm just talking about the game. :p

NEW VIDEOS OF GAMEPLAY! Robbing and all

http://gtadomain.gtagaming.com/

This game is so fuggin' awesome. I am addicted.

I actually left Los Santos today. The country side area is HUGE. Also, if you guys have time stop by the Pig Pen. The strippers have definetly been improved upon.

I STILL don't have mine. I hate Amazon and will never order from them again.(An Obvious lie. I just wish they would get me the damn game!)

Doc

P.S. I'm not too big on this fat/muscle thing. I love GTA becuase you can just walk around and wreak havok, the idea of having to stop-eat-workout-ect., kinda kills that level of gameplay. I think it tries to make it too realistic. Then again, I don't even have the DAMN THING!

Be a little more descriptive. :p

Mine's coming on Friday

Theres a mission where you sneak into a famous rappers house on the outskirts of the city in this mansion, and I could'nt belive the visuals of the country side. Also there are some cool motorcycle missions that are much more intense than in the previous games.

Blake- did you get to the missions where your on the motorcycle with big Smoke, and your shooting all the Russians down behind you? Thats my favorite missions so far.

There are Russian gangsters in the game? Goddamn, it better get here tomorrow...

Yeah that mission rocked! I was clinging onto dear life right before it ened though. I am just a few missions past that right now, and I have been taking my girlfriend out and earning new territory and stuff. It's so cool taking over new hoods. ragingbull2003, are you in a new city yet?

No I have a feeling that I wont be there for a while. But whose your favorite character so far? Mine has to be Ryder. He kicks ass.

Blake--What do you have to do to get a girlfriend?

I can't get passed the level where you chase the guy on the bike that stole that guy's rap lyrics.

ARGH, crappy amazon are saying they have not dispaced my GTA and it is surposed to come tomorrow is this normal? will it still probably come? C'mon people i need some re-asurrance.

All I can tell you is I checked online and mine was supposed to be here yesterday. And so far, it's not here today even. I'm pissed. Amazon needs to get their shit in gear.

When did you preorder it? Because I heard if you preordered it after 10/18, then it will be somewhat delayed.

I ordered it last Monday, and it said "November 1-5" however UPS's site says tomorrow. It's currently in Penn.

You guys should've just bought it a store.

I'm going to get it at Target after practice tonight.

I got mine today! Yay, so happy! I played for about 2 1/2 hours and was mesmerized! I had to stop though, because my little boy said "MOM!" because I wasn't listening to him. Wow, did that make me feel bad! So I guess its me and the PS2 tonight.

When did you preorder it? Because I heard if you preordered it after 10/18, then it will be somewhat delayed. [/b][/quote]I ordered it October 7th. I did so because I remember seeing that warning on the buy page.

Doc

P.S. It's still not here. I've lost hope. It must have gotten lost in the mail.

Isn't amazon shipping by UPS? If so, don't expect it in the mail. Can anyone answer my question on whether the game can get from Penn. today to Connecticut in time to be here tomorrow?

Amazon really is a crock of shite, surposed to be here tomorrow but it hasn't been dispatched so it should be here on saturday but mail is always crap on saturday so probably monday and i ordered it at the start of october, I am never buying anything from amazon ever again FACT

Give it atleast 2 days.

Amazon says November 1st. But UPS, who are shipping it say tomorrow.

I was at one of the Target stores here in Santa Ana, CA, on Tuesday, around noonish, and they had a whole freakin' section with nothing but San Andreas. I bought my copy of it, went back to my motel room (I'm on vacation), and was completely fixated the minute it came on. I agree with the review from IGN.com, this is quite possibly the best game ever created. You think you could do anything in Vice City, San Andreas dwarfs it. You can literally do anything. You can recruit gang members to help you on missions, have girlfriends, its endless. This is without a doubt the best game I've played.

The first girlfriend you encounter comes about when you rescue her from a burning building (Which ironically was caused by a fire that you purposely started). Theres nothing you really have to do. Just follow the missions. The one you have to do for this, is for Officer Ten Penny.

It just left Stratford. It's coming

This is probably very old news to you by now, but on a mission the cops have you burn a house down, but after it starts burning you rescue a girl from the window. After driving her home you can then go back and pikc her up. Take her to the bar on the first date to earn some love points with her. rb2003, my favourite character would have to be Carl himself or that dude you pick up in jail just cuz he gets me laughing. Right now I am doing missions in the middle of nowhere with a girl from gta3, and you won't belive who it is!

I GOT IT!
YES!

I've been playing it for hours, and you know what!?

I don't like it.

I'm sorry. I just don't like the new health system. Food for health, working out all the time, no armor to find, gaining respect(though this reminds me of GTA 1 and 2). Plus, now you have to use the control sticks. I don't like that, I'm an arrow pad guy. I'm just not getting a good feeling from this game. I liked the simplicity of Vice City. Shoot, kill, get car, beat mission. Health and armor, simple. I don't know, I'm just overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Gangs and getting shot everywhere I go, right off the bat. I hope this game improves when I leave Los Santos.

I'm yammering. I probably just need more time with it, but as of now, I might pop in Vice City.

Doctor Ferro

I agree with you on the d-pad issue. It is alot more complicating now, but rockstar would have probly dissapointed a larger group of people with the same stuff. I still love this new game and I am even staying up till' 2:00 when my bro gets off so I can play it. One thing I noticed on the box right away was that it was 2 players. I still can't figure out, but it must be awesome when I do.

Keep playing the game, and you will see how kickass he really is :rolleyes: (has flashbacks to GTA3)...

And Omar, yea I figured it all out. So far this game kicks so much ass. Not only the gameplay, but the storyline is unbelieveable.

I played it at my friends the other nite and I have to agree with Ferro (never thought I'd say that :p ) not being able to use the buttons to drive sucks. Can you reconfigure the controller? They should have left the controller alone. Its a big pain when your on a motorcycle.

I so agree with you guys! It really sucks when the controls slip your mind for a split second, you try and negotiate a left turn, and you fall off the bike. What kind of crap is that?!

I for one love the analog stick for driving.

One town away, it better be coming today. :p

no codes to playing vercetti in this game
thank god he sucks

OK, I'm getting used to these controls. Its been so long since I used those things that it just took some time getting used to. By tomorrow, I should ace it!

BTW DV, I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Character Spoliers!!!


The girl you run into is Kattalina who shoots you in the head at the start of GTA3. Your probly way past this part but the main character of gta3 even makes an appearance, and he is my favourite character.

Yea when I saw him make his appearance I nearly shit myself. Anyway, I made it to San Fierro, but theres nothing for me to do there really. Mostly I just went driving around a bit. I like Los Santos a lot better.

MOTHERFUCK. After one day DISC READ ERROR. And Diagnosis doesn't fix it. Fucking hell. I hate this.

My PS2 is from April of 2001, what the fuck is wrong?

I actually read about this DV, that the older model Playstations are having problems with the game. I don't know if it can be fixed or not, I'll do a bit of research and try to find where I read about it. I've been having this problem every since I got my Playstaton back, but I just reset and reset for about 45 minutes (which is a pain in the behind) but here are some other people who have the same problem PS2 Problems .

So much for my good weekend. I wanted to get some gameplay in before my report card comes.

Yea when I saw him make his appearance I nearly shit myself. Anyway, I made it to San Fierro, but theres nothing for me to do there really. Mostly I just went driving around a bit. I like Los Santos a lot better. [/b][/quote]Yeah, I am finally in the vegas setting. A part of me actually misses the hood, hopefully you get to go back there soon.

Does anyone have any tips to beating "Wrong Side of the Tracks"? This is the mission where you and Big Smoke have to keep up with the train. Me and a friend have been trying all night.

I can't get by it either. I've been trying the last 2 days. The one guy never dies.

I have reached San F.

Mount C. is amazing, the scenery owns.

Yea a lot of my friends are having problems with this mission too. I didnt think it was that hard at all. I guess my advice is dont get too close to the train. Get far enough to the right where smoke has a good shot. Thats basically all I can say.

You may have noticed i haven't posted for ages, i got it on saturday morning and it is class, i have done alot of missions but i'm stuck on the 1 where you have to defend the grove from that other gang but this game is amazing.

Well, I eventually beat the train mission. I just kept doing it, and got lucky the time when I did beat it (Smoke killed the last guy right before time ran out).

I just did the Catalina missions where you rob from the 4 places. I don't really like the rural settings. I'd rather be on Grove Street.

Well I just had to find out one of San Andreas's new features the hard way. I was doing a mission in San Fierro, and it was one of the hardest ones thus far in the game. I was able to complete it. The last part was just to drive one of the guys back to his house, and this took me past the airport. Out of nowhere, a fucking plane crashes right on top of my car killing me and the guy. Just a warning guys, stay away from the airports if at all possible.

It's not just the airports. On the mission "Badlands", one airplane crashed near me while I was trying to sneak into the cabin. It freaked me out.

I have yet to experience an airplane crash. I'm on Jizzy's missions so I expect to get to Las Venturas tomorrow.

I finished Jizzys missions this morning, and Im still not at Venturas. But i was at the airport and it wouldnt let me get into the planes. That pissed me off quite a bit.

You have to finish the syndicate missions, not just Jizzy's.

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=153494

I just finished the Syndicate missions like 10 minutes ago, and they are probably the best set of missions in the entire trilogy.

*****SPOILERS********

To all those who have gotten this far... Who thinks when you shot down Mike Turrino (Who has been one of the best villains in the series), he didnt actually die? Something about the whole situation has me thinking he survived the crash. Maybe it was because after you shot down the chopper, on the bottom of the screen it said, "Excellent. He cant have survived that fireball." Seems a little suspicious.

Beach Party Dance Level.

HELP!

The level where you have to get 4000 points dancing is impossible. Is there anyway to increase your dancing ability? I try and get almost every single one and still only get about 3100 points each time? This is the only mission I have left to do right now. But I can't get past it. Is there any way to raise your dancing level or something?

doc

Ok. I got it, how rediculous. That's the second Dance Dance Revolution like level in this game.(And Hopefully the last)

Doc

That mission was a breeze for me. Just keep trying. And don't worry, the most annoying mission involving remote controlled planes is yet to come. :rolleyes:

I will be in Las Venturas today or tomorrow.

I'm on the second island, i haven't been in a plane yet and i have a question, is the quad bike at the hilltop farm on in los santos?

I can't get by the level where you have to go to Loc's mansion and get his rhymes.

I also wondered if he had survived. Just the way the worded it.
When I heard James Woods was going to be in the game, I thought he would have had a much bigger part than that. So I'm sure he'll show up later in the game.

And I agree, he is one of the best characters in the series IMO. James Woods is such a cool and underrated actor. He was great in "Once Upon a Time in America".

Is anyone else's Playstation 2 messing up? On the weekend I started getting messages while playing that there was an error reading the disc, but it would return to normal after a few seconds. Then the message started appearing more frequently. Then on Saturday night, I tried to start it up again and it couldn't even get past the load screen. Then on Sunday morning it got past the load screen but froze up during a race. I looked at the bottom of the disc and it has a bunch of rings on it that I think somehow got on there from the Playstation because I've taken good care of the disc. Anyone else having this is or similar problems? Vercetti, how did you get yours to work? Thanks for any help guys.

I haven't had problems, but my friend had problems with games like you guys seem to be. He had to take the thing apart and clean out the lens and all that shit (if that helps).

I've sent it back before when it kept having disc read errors and haven't had a problem with it since then until now.

That mission was a breeze for me. Just keep trying. And don't worry, the most annoying mission involving remote controlled planes is yet to come. :rolleyes:

I will be in Las Venturas today or tomorrow. [/b][/quote]If your talking about that mission for Zero where you have to shoot down the planes, yea its a bitch. I havent even completed it yet, but I doubt his missions are necesary for progression. And i just reached Venturas, but I wasnt able to take much of a look around, because I got hooked on video poker for litrally 2 hours (no joke). I lost twenty grand.

i just played san andreas at my friends house.i noticed myself getting a headache by the odd yellow tint of the game.the fact that you can work your way up to having duel weapons is really cool.
i only went around los santos because i didnt do many missions though i swam to that san francisco area and right when i got up i had 4 stars.i think the area is amazing in terms of size.its also funny how everyone has a gun and a gang around every corner.i think if this game doesnt come out on xbox ill hav to get one just for this game.

I just completed all of cesars nieces missions, she really was a crazy bitch and i also done the race where she turns up.

Do you have to pass a certain mission before you can start taking over streets from other gangs? I'm not very far (just finished Catalyst.

hmm not sure
how can you do drive byes?

Yes you have to get to a certain mission before you can take over territory. You got a ways to go if your on Catalyst.

To perform drivebys click R1 on a fellow grove street gang member and press the up aarow to recruit him. He will then follow you anywhere, even into the car.

cool thanks fer the info .how many ppl can you have follow you?

I'm in Las Venturas for two days now, I hope to finish it soon to unlock the suit store in Los Santos.

It all spends on your respect. At least two I think. But that number can grow. How high I really dont know.

I was finally able to fly tonight. Its pretty damn awesome. While it is much harder to handle the planes, they can go alot higher and much much faster (Especially the Lear Jet which flies at ridiculous speeds). The coolest part in my book, is that any time you bail out of the plane in midair, you go to skydiving mode where you can parachute on to whatever you feel like landing on. Also, you really dont get a great picture of how big San Andreas actually is until you actually fly.

It's also very awesome parachuting eh?

Absolutely. If you are able to find a parachute seperate from the plane, then i suggest you take a racebike up to the very top of Mount Chiliad. Theres a look out ledge with a slanted memorial thing. Use that as a jump and take the biggest plunge in GTA history.

Is there any cheats avaliable yet,

I agree, ditching a car after going off the mountain with the parachute is damn fun. As for cheats, http://www.cheatplanet.com

Has anybody else gotten to the airstrand missions?
***SPOILERS***
Mike Toreno has got to be one of the coolest characters the GTA series has introduced, next to Luigi from GTA3. James Woods does any excellent job voicing the character, and makes him very funny.
I love his line before you start the "Stowaway" mission:
"Anyway, I can't stay here. I'm too hip, I gotta go."

You just ruined a big twist for everyone else Omar, but thats okay. Yea the airstrand missions are my favorite. I love flying the planes. My favorite thing to do is to fly the plane to max height and just jump out and take the half minute plunge to my death. Its so much fun. Anyway, Omar did u get the jet pack yet?

I don't think many people noticed.

Anyway, no I haven't gotten the jetback yet. I just went to Las Venturas and made a lot of money (but I probably lost the same amount too).

Can anyone tell me how to get the Vegas girlfriend to appear again so I can continue Wu Zi's missions? I just finished truth's missions and don't wanna do Z's back in Fierro, I'm pissed, she's NEVER home.

Well my Playstation is working for now. I have a question though...

Is there any way you can clean yourself? I have people telling me I smell all the time.

Vegas girlfriend? what are you talking about and what does that have to do with doing Wu Zi's missions?

She has the keycode to the Caligula's Casino. I hear you can kill her and get it in her house but she's never home.

Hmm I dont think im that far yet.

The giant dick you can get is hilarious! I beat up a cop with it.

I just got it today it raw!
can someone help me with the lowrider mission hard
as hell!

Pick a car not for its looks but for its easy handling ability and decent speed. I made the mistake of picking a hot looking car that handled like shit. Use a diferent one.

Got a question here.

By the way, the game has gotten a lot better. I know I said I did not like it at first, but I'm warming up to it. Ever since I left the Ghetto, the game has gotten 100 times better. All that "gang" stuff, including getting gang territories and recruiting members was making me sick.

Anyways, where is this huge mountain first of all? What island is it on and where on that island can it be found?

Secondly, where is this flight school? I wanted to go to the airport, but it said I needed to go to flight school first.

****SPOILER ALERT******

I have just killed Ryder if that helps. Does that put me closer to being able to fly? Please don't say what happens next, it's 2 in the morning and I gotta go to bed.

Doc

On your map go to the bottom left corner. Movie the cursor around that area and mount chilliad should appear at the bottom. That mountain makes the game worth it itself. As for the pilot liscence, I'll just say that fairly soon you will be out in the desert learing to fly. Yes it is part pf the key missions and you can't get it any sooner. OR if you want it quicker got to the first city and jump over the airport wall with a truck.

I see, I'll give it a shot today. Thanks, Blake!


Doc

But I agree Don Ferro. Once you leave Los Santos, the game gets so much better. The syndicate missions with Jizzy and T-bone, etc. are probably the best and most realistic set of missions in all three games.

i still havent gotten the call from woozie even thou i have the keycard . as im sure everyone knows by now our good buddy salvator leone is back and one of his missions has brought us to a very familiar place but im not gonna say were and ruin it for everyone.

Yea when I was brought back to that place, I almost shit myself. But I wont ruin it for the others. But I think this game has way more previous references than Vice City. Catalina, Rosenberg, The Leones, Love Fist, The mute main character from Liberty, Kent Paul, V Rock Cafe, etc. etc. etc. But my favorite reference was when you were with Ken killing mafia guys, and he yells "Way to go Tommy!" Then CJ says "Who the fuck is Tommy??" Thats good stuff.

cj is cold hearted thou when you gotta save the mafia guy you scare n he has a heart attack i still laugh at that cuz its fucked up "damn nigga fucked up" its like damn no compassion or nothin but atleast now we know that the game takes place in the winter.

Yeah, thats when the game loses it's "gang appeal" and focuses more on gameplay and fun.

Doc

My brother came home last night and took my San Andreas game and my memory card.

I didn't even realize until this morning. I just called him and he said he'd bring them back on Thanksgiving.

Whoa bro that sucks. I can only imagine the anger that you feel right now.

that really does suck make him an offer he cant refuse to get it back or steal it back

Sorry Fred.

By the way. I got my Pilot's Licence. Thank's guys!
Doc

i kno 1 thing i got myself a fun new plane

I think I know which one your talking about tm. But I wont say it in fear of ruining it for others.

lets just say that when everyone gets it theyre gonna have a little fun... oh an btw i read that the hunter spawned on the aircraft carrier but everytime i go to it there isnt 1... how come

My Playstation 2 keps saying it can't read the disk half way through a mission everytime I play!

lol damn now THAT really sucks

Haha tell me about it. I'm in need of a fix. I might just buy one of those cheap small ps2's.

they look cheap but they the normal price cheap skate bastards.

Guys, got a little question here.

If you have already met officer Tenpenny in the ghost town, you can read below.

****SPOILER ALERT*****
First of all, I cant say how cool it is to see so many characters from past GTA games. But my question is this,
When Leone call's me back and says how everybody thinks the hit went good in Liberty City(seeing Liberty again was awesome by the way ), and I say he won't be seeing Rosenberg or kent Paul anymore,(Implying that I killed them) they just drove off before the hit to get away from Leone right? Because they were supposed to go with me and I guess I was supposed to kill them? So they just left instead?

Maybe I skipped a phone call or something. I know I was supposed to think of a way to get them out and away from leone and make them think they were dead.

Anyways, I guess my bottom line is, Ken and Kent Paul got away ok right? Oh, and don't say what happens after this. I just got off the phone with Leone so I don't know what happens next yet.

Thanks,
Doctor Ferro

los venturas is amazing, i have finished flying school and now i'm on the first flying mission where you have to drop something off

yea they got away fine. the whole thing was he needed a way to get them out from the don so when the don said he could have back up he figured perfect moment and had them get away.

I beat the last level last night and now I'm gonna simply have fun taking over gang territories.

My favorite save points are the airplane graveyard and Mad Dogg's mansion. Mainly the Graveyard since I have a Hydra (army jet), Hunter, two planes, a bike, and a large Chopper spawning there.

My bro seems to have fixed the porblem, and when hes done I think i will have the story finished within 45 minutes.

It took me forever to figure out how to work the hydra. But once I got it working, damn that thing is awesome.

yea it is the only problem i have with it sumtimes is when i got the thrust set to how it has to be to fly it stalls on me

When I take the pic of the guy I kill, that Mexican guy calls me and tells me to meet his cousins. Where's Red County and that diner?

i'll have to look at the map again sumtime and i can fill ya in later

Look on the Map Pat. Red County is located in the bottom left corner area of the map

This really sucks. I can't just go and take it back. He lives at college, which is about 3 hours away.

That really sucks man. I feel for you. About 5 years ago when Nintendo 64 was big, I had one with about 20 games, 5 controllers and an expansion pack. One day without my permission my older bro lent it to one of his friends and his friend moved with it a week later. I forgave my bro but back then all my friends had it so it was tough to have to start over.

Paul from the mailibu club is back! this time as a rock star with his friend macca who is from manchester and mentions salford in the game but it is portraying them to be piss head and junkies and we are not like that at all

lol some of yall aint maccer on the other hand has the small problem of burpin the worm

I can't seem to find the flowers to give to my annoying girlfriend. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Just outside the rappers house you have to break into at the start, you should find some flowers right next to his house.

Just beat it. The last mission... WOW! Now I can just focus on causing mayhem in the streets. Thats what the game is really about anyway.

Ditto. WOW! What a last mission. That was great. I can't wait to go fly around and use the casinos and just drive. I can't wait. Too bad its 2:00 am now...

Doctor Ferro

Agree'd, now I can do all that stuff plus bike off mount chilliad a few thousand times.

sorry if this has been discussed, but is catalina (cesar's cousin) the same as in gta3?

grazie

greco siciliano

No.

How do you know that mang?

Because that's the mission I'm on now. She's a real bitch.

Im at the same part is as you mang, I think she is the same Catalina as in GTA3 though, you know the one who shoots Fido at the start, maybe Im wrong

Catalina is the same as in GTA 3, doesn't take anything to figure that out.

Jou are right mang it has to be her

It's her. Period.

Doc

P.S. Man, was that not awesome to see the main character from GTA 3 and Catalina meet. It makes playing GTA 3 so much more in depth.

***SEMI-SPOILER***
Plus, How cool was it to see Liberty again?

By the way, what the hell? Ken Rosenberg has like 20 missions, and they don't even mention Vice City or Vercetti? What a rip off. I really was hoping for a cameo from Ray Liotta. Oh well. The game was great anyways.


Doctor Ferro

In one mission he goes "YEah Tommy! Just like old times!" and CJ goes "Who the fuck is Tommy?!"

Haha, wow, I must have missed that. Was that the one where you take Ken to that wheelchair guy and he dies when he see's CJ? Because I was flying a helicopter with Ken in it with me going there and I could not hear a damn thing becasue it was so loud.

Doc

Yea that was the mission Ferro. Its too bad you missed it.

Ah, don't worry. I'll probably play the game again real soon. I just wish there would have been a sight of Tommy or his voice. Oh Well.

Doc

you guys get to the mission fast i,m steal in
in the hood

Sorry, I just get addicted to stuff like this and I can't stop until it's over. The best is yet to come man. Enjoy!

Doctor Ferro

Since the missions are done, I set my sights on taking back all of Los Santos. I can proudly say that every gang occupied area is now green.

Has anyone played Halo 2 yet? I went to friends after practice yesterday to play it. I admit it's a cool game, but I totally disagree when kids at school say it's better than San Andreas. Halo 2 is just another first person shooter. San Andreas is (was in my case ) way better.

I bought it yesterday, but I too have a much better time screwing around on vice city.

Does anybody know of any strip clubs in Venturas?

i did find two of em one of em should be around the old venturas strip and the other i believe is down by the come-a-lot and the camel's toe

Shit everyone, I meant san andreas.

Man I gotta say, I'm really not digging this girlfriend stuff. I keep losing progress with her everytime I go around cappin a bunch of random people. What's up with that? I'd like to think a girlfriend would be supportive about going around, randomly killing innocent bystanders and the occasional police/fire/rescue worker. Women...

When does it come on X-Box

In march. This is the last title for the PS2, and they are going to begin work on the PS3 version. I can't wait to play it with all of the new specs of the new systems coming out.

erm... it isnt the last title at all, a game over here came out this week and what about GT4

The next GTA is most likely gonna beon PS3.

dont be so hyped bout ps3 from what i read in some magazine your gonna have to pay a monthly fee to play the games or sum shit

I HIGHLY doubt that.

Do any of you have pics of PS3

Do any of you have pics of PS3 and when will it come out how much will it cost

erm... it isnt the last title at all, a game over here came out this week and what about GT4 [/b][/quote]Sorry I worded it like that. I meant the last gta title. As for the ps3 pics, all they have is info on the chip which Double J posted in another topic. The price will probably be about $500. As for paying monthly, you heard wrong... thankfully.

how do u know the xbox version is releasing in march?

From EGM, http://www.ign.com, and just from people.

good, now i dont have to get a ps2 which i was willing to do.

I still think you should get the ps2. Or even wait until the ps3 comes out because it will have backwards compatability with ps1 and 2 games.

xbox is better

I have a ps2, gamecube and x box and they all have their merits. X box and ps2 are definately both at the top though.

If you recall, my brother stole my San Andreas about two weeks ago. He took it to college with him. Well, I'm going to Penn State tomorrow for a football game. I will definitely be stopping by his dorm afterwards to get it back.

I decided im gonna complete it again.

I got it back.

But he and his friends beat it using my memory card file. So I now have to do all those Big Smoke/ Ryder/ OG Loc missions again.

That sucks mang. It's good you got it back though. If mine had been taken I would have gone through some bad withdrawl.

my little bro deleted my saved game, i hear there is a parrot called tony that quotes scarface and there is a mission in liberty with don leone?

Yes, returning to Liberty is awesome.

I hope so blake , I was quite close to it, my friend told me, but now i gotta start over

so at the end of the game liberty city is accessible?

not from what i hear, you only go there for one mission, blake will know...

Hey, does anyone know where you can get the big firepower (minigun, flamethrower, rocket launcher, the satchel charges)? Ive completed the game and I cant seem to be able to buy them or find them anywhere.

ther in the weapon cheats

You should be able to find Satchel Charges at Ammunation. I'm still in S.F. and they're there now. No rocket launchers, flamethrowers, or miniguns though.

yes you only get to go to liberty for one mission and you cant find the mini gun flamethrower or rocket launcher at any stores there laying around

Dont quote me on this, but I heard that you can get them at the cabin where you did the Turrino missions. But again, Im not sure about that.

Is it true that you can't finish the game if you use cheats in the game??

I used cheats twoards the end. I only used the weapons cheat but I beat it fine. They wont affect you at all, but if you save with a cheat, that cheat will be there when you start again.

Doc

Dont quote me on this, but I heard that you can get them at the cabin where you did the Turrino missions. But again, Im not sure about that. [/b][/quote]I have confirmed my theory. You can acquire the Minigun, Flame Thrower, Rocket Launcher, and the heat seeking rocket launcher and they are all at Turrino's cabin.

Note: The minigun is fucking awesome. Unlike Vice City, you can actually aim with it this time.

For Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas, you won't be able to get 100% with cheats. Once you do it will freeze and when you turn it on you will be back at 99%. I had to beat all of Vice City cheatless just to unlock the thugs that follow you around at the end when you beat it 100%.

i got 100% with cheats for vice city

Occasionaly that happens. http://www.gamefaqs.com has info on it.

SPOILER

Am I the only one who is sad that the main character from GTA 3's name is actually Claude? :p

Click

I always thought that was Tommy Vercetti, they look alike.

Yeah, I've gotta agree. I'm not really digging the name "Claude" too much.

Here is a picture of the rare big-foot that is in San Andreas. See far right behind tree.
Also in Carls house if you take pictures of a glowing object that appears sometimes, it turns into Carls mom when developed. And there's ufo's and ghosts....

There has yet to be proof of Bigfoot, so no one believes it. Many have been photoshopped.

that's obviously just reptile from Mortal Kombat :p :p

I wish there is more proof. I highly doubt it now too.

I highly doubt Rockstar would create a HUGE non-city landscape without putting something there. Leatherface is also in the game supposedly, I found his house but he only appears every 59865968984 times you turn on the game so I have yet to see him (if he exists).

There are now hunt boards focused on paranormal findings in San Andreas.

Where is his house Vercetti? I gotta see this.

Doc

Where is his house Vercetti? I gotta see this.

Doc [/b][/quote]Some have said he might also be Pigsy from "Manhunter." They say he has a lot of health (like girlfriends) and can run faster then CJ.
This is a Bigfoot sighting map but it shows where Leatherface's cabin is. It's east of San Fierro airport. For the Bigfoot searchers, his hot spot is the "Back O Beyond" where the green "X" is. Try searching EVERY day of the game week. Rumor is he vanishes when you get too close.

http://img93.exs.cx/img93/4017/8e-map.jpg

Have you guys been attacked by the driverless car yet? I have. Also I have been to a few of these paranormal san andreas sites, and walking around Mount Chilliad is supposed to be a good way to see ghosts.

I have been searching the net for a while and the really only new thing i have found is this.
Video
I found a few some what convincing, but easily fake pics yesterday too.

Now that is really interesting. There is clearly a human like figure running down the hill. Then, as he appraoches, it runs away. This is probably the best proof.

Doc

I think I found the house of Leatherface. It is really small and its located in a wood mill. There is also a chainsaw there for your taking.

The hill video could be a fake although maybe real. I also found Leatherface/Pigsy's house but he's never there.

truthfully that looks more like chewy from star wars than big foot

It almost looks like he has a bullet strap around him too.

Am I the only one who cant see a damned thing in that picture? Could someone describe to me where Big Foot is?

In between the two trees on the far right hand side of the picture.

That pic is a fake. It's one of the first ones out. If an AUTHENTIC Bigfoot pic comes out, GTA Domain will have it.

anyway blake where are these "paranormal" sites for gta i gotta see the bullshit they got on there

I just searched something like grand theft auto bigfoot and a whole bunch of them came up.

well one site made a good point and thats in the instruction booklet in the back on the special thanks to section it has big foot listed.

Hey! That is muy raro, very extrange... I have that game and never seen nothing supernatural.
