Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / January 2008New to the group i hav gta San Andreas (PS2)
i just finished the end of the line mission im kinda bored with it now i was wondering if there was anything else mission style jobs to do? My*web*ring-&-pages http://community.webtv.net/Hypnotyk/twwtitle >i just finished the end of the line mission > im kinda bored with it now i was wondering if there was anything else > mission style jobs to do? > > My*web*ring-&-pages > http://community.webtv.net/Hypnotyk/twwtitle Have you done the races? Cars? Planes/copters? How about the railroad mission? The vigilante missions? Fact is, I've done almost NONE of the missions. Did the first 2 or 3 or 4. Got bored. Got a savegame on-line (to open up all areas). For the last 2 years, I've been doing my own missions. Race, kill, destroy, fly under all bridges, etc. A nice, violent outlet. >>i just finished the end of the line mission >> im kinda bored with it now i was wondering if there was anything else [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > I've been doing my own missions. Race, kill, destroy, fly under all > bridges, etc. A nice, violent outlet. Sounds like me. I played about half-way through the game, then quit. I got the PC version, downloaded a 100% save online, and spent the last three years having fun doing my own thing. I just view the missions as something to get out of the way so I have access to all the stuff I *really* want to do! :) The odds I'll actually finish GTA4 are pretty low. But I'll definitely get my money's worth of enjoyment out of it... -- Bob PS: In case anybody hasn't heard, word is that the release date for GTA4 is 4/29/08. Odd Bob <odd_bob@odd.bob> sez: > PS: In case anybody hasn't heard, word is that the release date for > GTA4 is 4/29/08. That is the official release date now. It's actually on Rockstar's GTAIV website, at the bottom of the page. > Odd Bob <odd_bob@odd.bob> sez: > >> PS: In case anybody hasn't heard, word is that the release date for >> GTA4 is 4/29/08. Why did they call it GTA 4? I remember playing GTA 3. Then came Vice City ... that's 4 Then came San Andreas .... that's 5. So, unless Rockstar has hired George Lucas (who does not know how to count), this should be GTA 6. > > Odd Bob <odd_bob@odd.bob> sez: > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > So, unless Rockstar has hired George Lucas (who does not know how to count), > this should be GTA 6. yes, struck me that way too, specially as they're not the same main characters.

The rationale, I think, is that VC and SA are really pretty much the same game (same engine) in new settings with tweaks and minor improvements. GTA4 is a whole new engine and a whole different game, and Rockstar considers it to truly be the next iteration, or step in the evolutionary process. Even if it takes place in good ol' Liberty City (which disappoints me a bit.) That's how someone explained it to me, anyway. -- Bob > >> > Odd Bob <odd_bob@odd.bob> sez: > >> > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > -- Bob Oh yeah, you can see their thinking, and as GTA3 was so different from the previous three to them it was a whole new ball game. Well, I bought a new bloody machine just for this game so it better be worth it! I assume Liberty City has grown a tad since last time we drove around it? SignaturePaul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ Paul Heslop <paul.heslop@blueyonder.co.uk> had this to say: > I assume Liberty City has grown a tad since last time we drove around > it? It is an entirely new Liberty City. There are a very few elements from the GTAIII Liberty City, and they are scattered around quite a bit (the latest preview shown to various games media people had an updated version of Salvatore's mansion). The map layout is entirely new, and much larger than the previous version. Also, virtually no characters from past games are returning.

Go to http://www.gtagaming.com for lots more info :) I remember seeing an interview with Dan and Sam Houser where they stated that no past characters would be returning "because they're dead". Damn shame I say, I really want to know what Tommy's been up to for the last twenty years....

"Do sugar cubes have dots or is that a dice I just put in my tea?" To the world you are somebody, but to somebody you are the world. Rob White <mflt35@dsl.pipex.com> blurted forth the following before suddenly jumping out of his chair and running to the nearest exit: > I remember seeing an interview with Dan and Sam Houser where they > stated that no past characters would be returning "because they're > dead". The exact quote, which is misquoted so often, is: "virtually none of the characters from the previous games are returning, as a lot of them are dead anyway" - Dan Houser Notice the use of the word "virtually", as opposed to "absolutely". This means that there will be returning characters, but only a handful at most (my guess is no more than 3). It does not mean there will be none. As far as Tommy being one of those, I think it unlikely. He's probably dead, even though we last saw him alive. Reasoning: when we last saw Tommy, it was 1986; he and Ken Rosenberg were buddies. When we last saw Ken Rosenberg, it was 1993, and he was hanging around with Salvatore Leone. Methinks Tommy is sleeping with the fishes. Claude might still be alive; his death at the end of GTA2 is theorized to take place in 2013, meaning he will live another 6 years past GTAIV's timeline. I'm not saying he'll be in GTAIV, just that he's probably still alive. I sure wouldn't mind seeing him in GTAIV, though. CJ's also most likely alive. > As far as Tommy being one of those, I think it unlikely. He's probably > dead, even though we last saw him alive.

Methinks Tommy is sleeping with the fishes. Tommy was still alive at the time of GTASA. Have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_ZGQkq4m18 for a reference to Tommy no longer answering calls from Ken. Rob > As far as Tommy being one of those, I think it unlikely.

When we last saw > Ken Rosenberg, it was 1993, and he was hanging around with Salvatore > Leone. Methinks Tommy is sleeping with the fishes. Nope. Tommy was alive as of the beginning of GTA:SA - he just wants nothing to do with Rosenberg and won't even take his calls. (it's in "The Introduction", the game-engine movie that came with the soundtrack and the GTA:SA Special Edition for the PS2) > CJ's also most likely alive. Considering the violence in the rap scene of the '90s, it's quite possible that he was dead shot coming outside a nightclub... Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

While I agree that public acts of gross indecency are wrong, I think that being shot dead is a rather harsh punishment. > Paul Heslop <paul.heslop@blueyonder.co.uk> had this to say: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > the previous version.

My favorite is what I call "Messing With The Missions": solve them in unorthodox ways; try stuff in them that you "aren't supposed to do". That's the best. --cleve > i just finished the end of the line mission > im kinda bored with it now i was wondering if there was anything else > mission style jobs to do? Other than the various side-missions without full cutscenes (firefighter, paramedic, vigilante, deliveries, girlfriends, import/export crane in San Fierro, hotel valet, etc.), the only *real* missions that you might have missed while playing through the game seems to be the missions at Zero's RC Shop in San Fierro...
