i just stick with COD4 for my multiplayer enjoyment. even though i suck at the moment.

5/12/2008 11:19:59 AM

all i have played was multiplayer and i have yet to have to wait more than a min or two to get into a game.


im on Xbox though

5/12/2008 1:28:34 PM

i've played some multiplayer and have yet to wait either. xbox here as well.

5/12/2008 1:29:46 PM

Gah this last mission is killing me.

The first time after driving all the way across the city chasing some bad guys I tried to fire my RPG over my car into some enemies. Well, I hit my own damn car and died immediately.

Second time I killed almost all the guys outside then died after being shot by some dude in a pit I didn't see.

Third time I killed everyone there, then took off after the chopper only to run my damn boat onto the bank and fail the mission because I lost the helicopter.

5/12/2008 1:32:33 PM

^^I thought you were ps3? You are in the ps3 gamertag thread and i added you as a friend

5/12/2008 1:35:11 PM

How do you play a free game?

5/12/2008 1:47:28 PM

I've got both. But I play Gta on the xbox360. I'm thinking about getting it on ps3 too though.

5/12/2008 1:56:03 PM

^^^^
haha same exact things happened to me, not in the same order though.

5/12/2008 2:29:04 PM

Damn I've played it like 8 times now.

One time I didn't get under the helicopter in time

One time I got all the way to landing the helicopter and got killed by some cops after I accidentaly shot the hot dog vendor.

And last time my helicopter got fucking blown up the second I climbed into it.

5/12/2008 2:36:20 PM

haha keep trying, When I finally beat it I had so little health that if I got hit anywhere I would die

5/12/2008 2:57:29 PM

ha yea i tried the last mission twice last night. first time my car was so beat up by the time i was using it for cover, it blew up almost immediately (and me with it)

second time i couldn't get to the motorcycle in time to follow the guy in the boat.

and now i have to wait a week before i can get back to my 360 to try again

5/12/2008 3:50:38 PM

weird, i didn't have a motorcycle in mine... I jumped on his helicopter and fell into the water next to the boat. Must have chosen the alternative.

5/12/2008 3:59:45 PM

Where's the best place to pick up hookers in the game?

5/12/2008 11:15:54 PM

night time.

5/12/2008 11:18:01 PM

^^^ The motorcycle is from the other ending, if you choose to do the other thing in the 2nd to last mission.

^^ Bohan is pretty good, and there seem to be a ton standing around that industrial park in south Alderney.

where the hell do i meet the coke head brian for a second time?

i met him first when i did the cab call for roman. and i read on a mission list that i was supposed to meet him again before i started doing faustin's missions but i just started his last night and still no brian. Does his marker just appear randomly?

5/13/2008 8:00:58 AM

I found him last night on the street southwest of the first safehouse.

5/13/2008 8:06:18 AM

anybody find that one friend, cant remember his name, but he's some completely crazy child molester serial murderer or something?

5/13/2008 9:09:04 AM

^^^ I was really weirded out the first time i saw him on the radar when i was walking around. I met up with him again and helped him get some drugs or something and he gave me more money. Nice, easy side mission

Are there a lot of these "friends" around town?

5/13/2008 11:59:56 AM

i think i remember reading that there were like ~15 friends

some of them depend on what you do

i let Dwayne's girl live in that one mission, and encountered her later as a friend and did a mission for her

5/13/2008 12:19:32 PM

probably a dumb question - but how do you turn on the subtitles for ps3?

[Edited on May 13, 2008 at 12:31 PM. Reason : ps3]

5/13/2008 12:30:05 PM

its in the pause menu somewhere. Game or Options or somewhere in there

5/13/2008 12:52:43 PM

i'll have to try it out when i get home. i'll figure it out

5/13/2008 1:03:28 PM

I had to turn on the subtitles, I couldn't hear a word they were saying.

5/13/2008 1:58:35 PM

I just can't understand jacob. I usually skip his movie things because of it.
And i have a hard time reading the text msgs but i think that's because i don't have a great tv.

5/13/2008 2:01:08 PM

i can translate if you want to come over.

5/13/2008 2:02:32 PM

^yeah, i have a hard time with the texts too and it is b/c of the tv.

5/13/2008 2:02:35 PM

dunno if it's been posted yet, but it's awesome:

pretty comprehensive comparison of NYC vs Liberty City

5/13/2008 3:09:39 PM

yeah that is pretty awesome

5/13/2008 3:25:02 PM

well damn, that is impressive

Me either. The only things that he says that i can make out are "et cetera" and "respek."

5/13/2008 3:46:57 PM

anybody watched that "I'm Rich" show or whatever thats like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and the one chick lives on the 55th floor (i think) of some building...can you get to that building and get in her house or anything? anybody tried?

5/13/2008 4:14:43 PM

same here... I was laughing when you meet his sidekick dude who has a really bad accent/speaking all rasta-talk. Because Jacob tries to translate for the guy, but I cant understand what Jacob is saying either.

5/13/2008 4:33:37 PM

^ yeah i think that was intentional....

5/13/2008 4:54:44 PM

i understand them both somewhat but just cause i've known some cats who had thick accents like that

but i emphasize 'somewhat'

5/13/2008 5:13:23 PM

Yeah, Niko always says "Uh... yeah" or something at least the first few times he meets Jacob. I loved that I caught his hot boxing the car comments though. Good stuff.

You should be able to go back and play missions over again somehow, I failed Three Leaf Clover a few times just to do it over other ways. When I completed it I made it last, summoned Dwight's minions three times etc.

5/13/2008 5:17:01 PM

one time I called Dwayne for backup and we were riding around and I ended up driving my car into the water somehow...I swam over to some nearby steps to get out, and even though Dwayne's boys were alive, they were just treading water and werent following me back onto land...so I shot them both in the head with my sniper rifle...right after that I called Dwayne for more backup and he is like "nah, the guys are still resting from last time"

5/13/2008 5:26:52 PM

Alex got run over by a cab and killed on our first date

5/13/2008 5:29:34 PM

^^ HAH, yeah it's always the same two guys with long ass t-shirts

5/13/2008 5:36:11 PM

I killed Derrick instead of Francis to get the clear stars perk.

What do you get if you kill Francis instead?

5/13/2008 5:37:52 PM

dont you always kill derrick but you can choose with francis? maybe i'm wrong

what do you get if you save that guy who is hanging off the rooftop? i let him fall. is THAT derrick? i'm confused

5/13/2008 5:45:59 PM

"clear stars perk"?? what's that?

5/13/2008 5:51:28 PM

when you date Kiki and she likes you a certain amount you can call her to remove your wanted level if its fairly low (like maybe 2 stars)

i didnt think that had anything to do with any other missions...just sending date requests to everyone on the website and meeting Kiki

5/13/2008 5:54:58 PM

^^ I think that was Ivan...not sure though

she's gotten rid of a 3-star for me before--I think that's the limit

5/13/2008 6:00:16 PM

After several missions with Jacob I could at least get the gist of what he's saying, but perhaps not understand every word.

Badman however might as well be speaking Chinese.

5/13/2008 6:01:05 PM

listen to some Barrington Levy or Buju Banton

You get the choice of killing either Francis or Derrick McReary. I let Francis (the corrupt cop) live and now I'm blackmailing him with that and he clears my wanted level whenever I ask him to. I think that he can clear more than three stars, but he won't if you're doing a mission.

I was just wondering what happens if you kill him and let Derrick live.

5/13/2008 8:12:58 PM

I killed Francis.

Just finished it and got done with his funeral mission literally 2 minutes ago, so I dunno if there are any perks yet.

I do have Kiki at 100% though

[Edited on May 13, 2008 at 8:26 PM. Reason : fhds]

5/13/2008 8:26:06 PM

I'm pretty sure you don't get anything from Derrick, because I didn't hear a single word from him again.

Francis apparently gives missions and can clear wanted levels, but he is way too much of a prick, so I killed him anyway.


And you can still get 100% if you kill Francis, it just doesn't count those missions.
