c/d s/d: the GRAND THEFT AUTO series

but its not as good a game as SA, especially in that saving a game does not kill yr cop rating.

OTOH, parachuting out of that black ops C-5 was quite something.

The desert scenery up around verdant meadows is the best bit of the game so far for me.

I remember when you could fly helicopters in Vice City, it was amazing to see how small the location actually was, and how cleverly it was laid out, to make it seem bigger than it actually was. Not the case in San Andreas though, eh? I got up in a Lear Jet lookalike, and Wow, the size of the place. I tried to fly the learjet under the garver bridge, and of course crashed it into the sea.

yes! i enjoyed causing much hysteria on ground level, achieving a five star rating, and then sneaking into the chopper on top of that skyscraper and taking off and landing it back at the vercetti mansion, just kind of guessing my way along...

Tried last mission this weekend and fucked up at the same place again. I have put this game on hold indefinitely.

I can't seem to get into the GTA games when I don't have plot to get through. Everyone else seems to dig driving around and collecting horseshoes and killing grandmothers for fun but it doesn't hold my interest for very long.

::shudders with rage::

Best one was bailing out of the little helicopter whilst above the clouds over the triad casino, watching the heli dropping down & vanishing through the clouds was actually strangely unnerving. It's amazing just how into this little world you get.

I found all these all over the place. They're fun but unfortunately there's no invinvibility, that would r00l!!!11!

I used to go up to that hotel place where the Russian mission takes place in Los Santos, and get into sniping mode while the riots were goin' on. Littering the streets with exploded helicopters while watching out for hookers with bazookas could go on forever.

It was so engrossing that when I would turn off the game, I'd actually feel a sense of relief that it was all, in fact, "just a game". That I could turn the game back on, and everything would be back to normal.

my tag was actually already done. my housemate decided he'd had enough of me whining about not finding it and he printed off a tag-map to check all mine. he couldn't find any I hadn't done.

so i went around and targeted with the spray can all my tags, luckily after only about the seventh one it bleeped and gave me the "all tags sprayed" message.

so i'd been searching for MONTHS for nothing, ah well at least a lot of people got killed along the way.

Have you any oysters or Horseshoes still to go?

only a couple of oysters to go i think.

I think I'll still be searching for these when I'm 80

I now have a fleet of brightly-coloured Corvairs, all with nitrous injection at my disposal "unsafe at any speed" haha.

oh the amount of times i landed the fucking thing on the pier!

There is indeed a mission for the mafia heist on LV, have you obtained the key card from Millie yet though? just shoot her in the face, and then you can rob her house for it.

my 'brightly coloured' cars always lose their paintjobs after I've reloaded my game.

NRG 500 fo life y'all! They are my babies. Once you go bike you never go... um... back?

but they just get trashed too soon and I end up just keeping them in my garage.

Mind you, doing laps around San Fierro airport is quite fun in a race circuit type way.

so rat a tat tat ::MAKES GANG SIGNS::

and some flame decals whenever I get a lowrider near accessories. CHildish but FUN

LAME PUSSY NRG
AWESOMENESS BF-400

NRG for concrete, Sanchez for countryside.

I'd forgotten the sanchez. Fun but not as AWESOME AND FAST AS THE NRG!

Favourite car: the tank. I wonder if you can bring it out on dates. Think of the jokes about big cannons that could be made. A real way of filling those awkward moments...
