At this point, anytime I have to go over a bridge I take a taxi, especially the free Roman taxi. It isn't even a cop-evasion thing, just pure impatience ... especially if I'm driving to complete a mission I've already tried once or twice.

Grenades are 100x more awesome in this game than they were in the previous games.

(For the record, i stopped reading this thread a week or so ago cos I am a spoilerphobe. I'll come back (and start properly multiplaying) once I've finished the main story).

taxis make sense - i do like driving but am seriously bored with having only one safe house across three islands. will i get another one? (don't tell me if you know)
double jump in station square? i will have to check it out.
$100g in multiplayer in two days!
― ledge, Thursday, 8 May 2008 00:42 (sixteen years ago) link
mind you doing it in earnest you could probably get that in two hours. have seen guys at rank 8 already...
― ledge, Thursday, 8 May 2008 00:44 (sixteen years ago) link
double jump in station square?
If you look on the map, you'll see a horizontal diamond south of Station Square. It's actually a mound of dirt in a construction area. The jump goes over the freeway where there is a second platform.

i use taxis for when my friends ring, because trying to reach them within an hour by driving is nigh on impossible.

and almost 50 hidden packages found so far!

and yeah i only recently realised how pointless that camphone actually is.

was playing a friend's copy last night for about ten minutes (mine is now en route from newly-restocked amazon) and we spotted haeretico/Ledge playing, but could not join an online game. HARUMPH

Stevie! Are you the one who keeps texting me about new cars to steal?
― Ste, Thursday, 8 May 2008 13:14 (sixteen years ago) link
super cool: when you are in multiplayer and want to private chat with someone you phone them on their moby!!!!!

― czn, Thursday, 8 May 2008 13:36 (sixteen years ago) link
is the multiplayer voice chat only? or can you use a keyboard?

I suck so hard at life. Still don't have this. Gave up trying to find it in shops after I tried again on Tuesday to no avail. Just ordered it on play so I should probably expect it next week some time. Fuck.
― jim, Thursday, 8 May 2008 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I have two copies (don't ask) but I can't sell you one of them, sorry dude : /

ledge! game doesn't arrive till tomorrow and i don't know when i'll get to play. but my bro will probably be on, so don't be offended if you get in touch and get no reply, but i am well up for CHAOS when i can play.

I'll be up for playing tonight, after 9 PM Eastern---gamertag is Jex Blade, but I'll look for some of you.

i was flying a chopper around the large factory area on the third island and when i approached the large cooling towers, I swear there was a person stood on the very top on the rim running around. As i got closer he just jumped inside.

The alleyway dude drives up at 1.10 looks just like the place near the bridge on the 1st island in GTA3 where the rocket launcher rampage was. Weirdly familiar. Bit where the dude beats the hooker down so he can recover his money and she limps off clutching her stomach is a bit...er....much? Eh.

Play.com got this delivered to me this afternoon and I only ordered it like a day ago <3
This weekend is a total wash-out now, but shouldn't matter too much because apparently the recent heat-wave in Glasgow is going to be replaced by heavy showers anyway. Ah well. Pulling an all nighter tonight I should think.

"I'M LIVING HERE WITH ROMAN!"
... was what I thought he kept on shouting during the rescue roman mission. I was like, dude what kind of a threat is that? "ha you've think you've taken him to a random abandoned factory but in fact this is my crib!"
― ledge, Friday, 9 May 2008 23:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Man I suck at this game. Can't do my first Little Jacob mission, nor can I stop biker dude who's making out with whatsisface's daughter. Gah.

If you're going for the all guns blazing approach then - be more subtle.

Finally got it in glasgow. This is the first grand theft auto that i've completely fell in love with.

you should marry it!
― s1ocki, Saturday, 10 May 2008 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link
single player got more enjoyable when I figured out that to get more missions, I had to go to Roman's workplace and Little Jacob's house. Until then I was just waiting for someone to call, which meant Michelle and Roman for dates and strippers. Plus side: warm coffee!
― Euler, Saturday, 10 May 2008 16:39 (fifteen years ago) link
I would marry it but it might kill me.

what a way to go tho huh!

so i spent a good part of yesterday getting a car on the roller coaster, all was going well until i got to the top and the car rolled over and got stuck inbetween the tracks.
what's the best vehicle to ride on it with?
