TiE23 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Took me 5 tries in the first playthrough to get past that mission. Only needed 3 the second time Anyone else find that the writing is far better than in any of the previous installments? Lol, I've found that I can't remember ever dying in a mission, except once where you have the shoot-out at the theatre. Sure, I've had hospital visits just messing around, but I don't think that I've ever died against an enemy. The bank robbery and the coke-bag retrieval missions, I got on the first try.

Achilles Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Lol, I've found that I can't remember ever dying in a mission, except once where you have the shoot-out at the theatre. Sure, I've had hospital visits just messing around, but I don't think that I've ever died against an enemy. The bank robbery and the coke-bag retrieval missions, I got on the first try.I didn't die on any of the bank robbery attempts, I just let Packie and his brother get too far away. Guess I'm stubborn when it comes to killing people that try to shoot at me. The coke-bag retrieval on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight of Keno Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Two questions I wish answering: 1. Is Lazlow present on the radio stations or TV? 2. Is the driving in any way different from San Andreas? Has it improved or gone back to the GTAIII and Vice City driving? One review I've heard is that it's hard to drive cars because they're ship-like, or in other words sluggish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Two questions I wish answering: 1. Is Lazlow present on the radio stations or TV? Yes. 2. Is the driving in any way different from San Andreas? Has it improved or gone back to the GTAIII and Vice City driving? One review I've heard is that it's hard to drive cars because they're ship-like, or in other words sluggish Yes, it is different. The handling is much more realistic, which is a huge pain in the ass when compared to SA. The trick is to unlock Algonquin ASAP and then just steal a Turismo out of the showroom whenever you need a car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 I was listening to my favorite Podcast, the Cheap Ass Gamer podcast , and they were complaining how the steering would reverse when looking back. Like how if you move the stick to the right the car goes to "screen left" when looking backwards. They were peeved by that, I was wondering if anyone else had this problem to? Maybe they just don't play racing games enough because I have no issue at all with the realistic "flipping". Also, I've found that I drive with both thumbs on the thumbsticks. I'm always unconsciously adjusting the view almost all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 ^ Same here, you get used to it after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I die alot, but it would probably help if I'd stop killing people only by giving them the shotgun hug >.> <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I have played the game now, but I already got bored of it after 2 hours. I don't like it to be in the city all the time, and you can't even fight or shoot without getting arrested. Too hard to escape, for me this is. I don't know why, but I liked san andreas a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
