very far

but I can't tell you how far without spoiling things for you!


basically

doing missions for the really old mafia guy and the guy in prison...


you're further than me!

(I've not played it for a couple of days due to other commitments.)
I've recently unlocked the 3rd island, but haven't done any missions there yet.


i did the "heat" mission lastnight

my expression throughout was this :D


Hehe, did you do it first time?

I think there was at least two stages where I was almost dead, but managed to cheat death somehow!


yeah did it first time

thought it was never gunna end though!!!


5 bloody attempts

at this mission, every time I got to the end where you come out of the subway, I died. Then I realised if you just stay in the subway and run along the tracks you can get rid of your wanted level... probably cheating but I almost quit playing because of that stupid mission!


did you have to dodge trains?

i fucking love this game.so so much


ah

lots of big long difficult missions coming up for you then. There's a really good one coming up where you have to make another choice about who you kill... choosing one gives you a pretty cool little advantage, killing the other doesn't. I'm not telling you which though!

Oh, and make sure you take Dwayne out for lots of drinks, he sends you a car full of 'homies' as backup if he's your mate, which is really helpful later on.


I think I might know what you're talking about...

..but haven't quite got there yet!


oooh

that does sound useful. top tip. fanks


Still at the building site for Playboy.

Fucking HATE this mission.


ak47 and body armour

job done.just use loads of cover.like stand or crouch behind EVERYTHING


^this

I think you can take your time as well. The zoom function + right stick to go for headshots is pretty useful too.


If the cover system fucking worked then I could use it.

Otherwise, the cunt never leaves the wall, OR get stuck to the wrong one and the camera goes all AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA to my face.


Just use right shoulder button to stick to the wall

hold the left trigger down halfway to free aim, when you shoot with right trigger Niko sort of pops up from behind cover to take the shots. I haven't died in a firefight in ages using this method.


Is that how it works?

I thought you press RT to cover and then pressed it again to come out. Fuck me, I want to try that now... :|


Nope, just press it once

and he goes into cover mode.. when you shoot he'll move out automatically, then hide again when you stop shooting. You can also change targets whilst in cover.


no wonder you hate it...

..YOU WERE DOING IT WRONG!


<3


^ this

did that mission first time. Pretty fun


my tip:

use the sniper rifle all the way through, you can hit every one of the foremen from miles away, especially using that other half-contructed building next to the one they're in.


im at the bit

where you get the gun and then shoot the cops and then pick up some ho's.


im gonna go shoot some store clerks now

because its inexplicably fun.


hah.... no


sorry

you can only masturbate over the wii so much before you realise its actually a piece of shit with relatively crap games in proportion to xbox/ps3.
/bitter.


ohhhhhhh i see

sell the wii get xbox/ps3...no more bitter
"no more tears"


i'm at the bit

where you have to shoot the guy in his apartment for Francis. How far am I?


which missions that?

where you have to lure him to the window? Dunno, only about halfway through the actual missions I think, I keep thinking 'I must be getting near the end' then I meet a few new guys and get a whole ton of new missions.

Have you met Bernie yet? Best animation in the game, especially when he's running...


completed it

packie kills roman outside a church at his wedding. dimitri was good all along.


twat

.


rofling


re: the mission that

justanothersheeldz was stuck on/is stuck on - i can kill the bastards and take their stuff, but escaping the LAW wrecks me every time. three stars is scary :(

i did the six stars for five minutes achievement though :D


Oh the wanted level is easy to loose - just drive away really fast.

In fact that might be only think I am good at with this game tbh...


it's too hard

they just appear from everywhere and then when i think i'm free i'm totally not :( i'll give it one more go i think.


Just peg it out of the circle

by driving fast/watching the map to get away from police cars
once you're out, hide
Job done


i nearly did it

but didn't. i'll give it a go later.


I bought the walkthrough

and started reading it and then I was all NOOO I'm spoiling it! :(
