Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / February 2004Unique Jumps Issue
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem I am having. I am going through the walkthrough trying to get 100% and after completing the unique jumps on the first two islands I should have completed 12 out of 20 jumps. However, the PS2 isn't registering one of the jumps so it says I have only completed 11. I've gone through the jumps in Portland 3 times and the jumps on the second island twice and still to no avail. Every jump I redid gave me the slow motion scene so I am confident that I have actually gotten the Unique Jump and the money for each one. Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something?  SignatureRelz I had this problem, the jump by the Malibu Club just wouldn't bloody register. Only way I got around it was to re-start the game. Fortunatly, I hadn't progressed too far into the game so it wasn't too big a deal Stantz > I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem I am having.

Funnily enough, as there's two to be done in sequence, it would register the second and not the first, making the game unwinnable. In GTAIII, the Callahan Bridge jump to land between the two elevated bits of road didn't register until I crashed spectacularly and landed on my roof, although I believe if you (only just) hit either side of the bridge it won't register. You might have no choice but to start a new game. Unless you kept a record of which jumps you'd completed, it's difficult to tell.

Seeing that effect does NOT mean you completed the Unique Jump. Look for the big message that you completed it, and then double-check your stats. This is why I always recommend doing them sequentially and making SURE you complete one (or write it down somewhere that you didn't) before moving on to the next one. I'd say you missed one of the really stubborn ones. Here's a thought. Re-start the game and find the stubborn ones and how to get them to register. Then re-load your game and try those specific jumps again. --cleve > > Every jump I > > redid gave me the slow motion scene so I am confident that I have actually [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > --cleve Is there a way to tell if a specific jump has registered? I've taken some jumps here and some jumps there. And haven't tracked which ones I completed successfully. If I go back and try to do them with a list - is there a way to tell the difference between not doing the jump properly vs. doing a jump that's been repeated? > Is there a way to tell if a specific jump has registered?

Not that I know of. > If I go back and try to do them with a list - is there a way to tell > the difference between not doing the jump properly vs. doing a jump > that's been repeated? Not that I know of. The Unique Jumps are a royal pain. R* really needs to improve some things about them in the future games -- if there's any reason to even keep them: (1) It would be nice to have SOME way of telling where they are, without a guide book. A small icon, or something (similar to Rampages). (You'll NEVER find all the GTA3 and VC ones just by chance.) (2) The indication of success for a jump needs to be even clearer. (3) We need a way of telling if specific jumps have been completed. Actually, ALL of these could be solved by a Rampage-style icon that disappears only when the jump has been completed. I'm not convinced we even NEED the Unique Jumps. We do enough wild-a.s stunts on our own. --cleve > > Is there a way to tell if a specific jump has registered?

In icon of some kind is a > good idea; I like it. What might make more sense is if the icon appears only AFTER you've done the jump, sort of like a flag saying "I was here". That way they don't make it an obvious giveaway as to where all the jumps are. (They're supposed to be hard to find so you try to do crazy stuff all over the place.) If a flag or other marker appeared at every spot where you'd done a jump before, it would go a long way towards making that whole process alot easier without being a total spoiler like the rampage icons are. Even better is if the icon that appeared was actually something you could USE, like a cop bribe or something. That would give real incentive to actually do the unique jumps, whereas now the only real reason to do them is for 100% or bragging rights. > > I guess I wouldn't mind keeping them in, but it would be nice to know > > somehow if you've completed it or not for sure.

It's kind of like the unique jump on Portland Island near the water. It has a concrete ramp that sends you over the EL Train track and lets you collect a police bribe(?) while you're doing it. Is Rockstar listening to these great ideas? They should be. > > I guess I wouldn't mind keeping them in, but it would be nice to know > > somehow if you've completed it or not for sure.

That's a big part of the problem, though. I'm thinking of jumps like that one on somebody's back steps on Star Fish -- things you'd never think to try. There are a zillion places you'd try first. I still maintain that no one can find all the VC Unique Jumps without a list of where they are. And then there are the jumps that you have to do 20 times just to get them to register. If you didn't KNOW it was one of the Unique Jumps, you'd quickly conclude it was not. I do like the idea about a useful icon, however. Perhaps it could be one color before you complete it and another after (when it becomes useful as a bribe, or whatever). --cleve > I do like the idea about a useful icon, however.

Whether you choose to use the cheat at all, or save the game with the cheat active, is entirely up to the player. That way, you keep the functionality of the existing game and (once you've found as many jumps as you can be bothered looking for) you have the tool available for achieving 100%. I do like the idea of a reward for bothering with the USJs. > How about a cheat code, that allows you to see where the unique jumps are? > Whether you choose to use the cheat at all, or save the game with the cheat [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I do like the idea of a reward for bothering with the USJs. Just get GTA Lights mod, which does exactly that. Only works if you're on PC, though. No good for PS2/X-Box. > > How about a cheat code, that allows you to see where the unique jumps are? > > Whether you choose to use the cheat at all, or save the game with the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Just get GTA Lights mod, which does exactly that.

I don't agree with the idea that there is a bug but I tried each of the jumps three times to try and find which I had missed. (I had used a map and tracked them) but I couldn't find it. Had to replay the game (oh no what a shame) to get the 100%. The game could lose some aspects though especially the f**king taxi missions.
