GTA san andreas

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

You sound like a dissilusioned pornstar going for her last big anal payday!

I fail to believe that Paulo is crap with girls.

That's gotta be bollocks, come on?

i just bottle it big time. If i can break the ice i'd probably be in like flyn, but i have a poor record with the former.

More importnatly i'm only intersted in one bloody girl atthe moment, and guess who she is? arse.

On the plus side GTA is well worth persevering with. Harrier Jump Jet!

I can sympathise with breaking the ice, I am like that at times as well. But you clearly have the gift of the gab, stlye and wit on your side.

Sometimes all it takes is a push, and that can come in all shapes and sizes. i.e. the hint of a 'pissing contest', stupid male pride! A friendly semi serious challenege + a pep talk can work wonders.

I still haven't got the bastard thing, although when I bought the last GTA, I spent most of the time watching my brother or sister play it.

Right now I'm slowly going through Killzone - It is a bit limited but I enjoy it, killing people with massive guns in gloriously detailed environments is fun. I definitley want Mercenaries, I got a demo and it is pure quality. Finally got a job now, so soon I can start being thrifty again.

I completed all the story-line missions a while back, and have been slowly working through the other stuff for 100% goodness-mind you, I haven't played it in ages.

Just on half term and was playing the game intensely.

I'm on to the apparently last mission (Going after that tratious basterd in his crack house) and damn this game is great. Once your booted out of Los Santos the story certainly gets epic. many of the characters are well observed and the humour is second to none on the radio stations.

The Truth is the funniest and wackiest character ever in a video game. Love that guy. My mate gave me the PS on the Previous GTA connections (Main character from GTA 3 being silent, 2 brits, Liberty city refs)

Jetpack= 10/10 rating.

The 2 Brits = 11/10 rating for this gam. Macca is really sick. :twisted:

But the Zero missions are a b#####d to complete (Thnak God you don't have to do them to complete the story line). Did the first which was tough but fun but that toy plane for the second takes the pi## as does that guy on the bike (The vans are not to hard). I get frustrated like nothing before and just left it.

there is so much to do. Trucker missions etc. But I love these characters and the story has been second to none. Each character has been built up, developed, altered from their initial appearence. Smokes betrayal is the perfect example. You just utterly hate him for what he did and naturally you just detest Tenpenny at every step of the way. While Woozie, Ceasar, The Truth and The two brits feel almost like real friends. The last group of Video game characters I got so attached to was FF7.

A really fantastic game. Going to go and complete it now :)

It's ace, innit? :D

My favourite character is Mike Toreno (James Woods). Had me laughing on several occassions, so he did.

Possible spoiler (kind of...maybe...)

Just in case you don't know, the last mission is in two parts. The second starts when you're back outside the building. However, should you die on the second part, you don't have to do the whole thing again, but the game doesn't (or didn't for me anyway) tell you this. It makes it seem like you have to do it all again by not putting the mission marker outside of the crackhouse-you have to go back to the original marker that started the whole mission. I mentioned it in case you thought 'arse' and decided to reload so that you had all your weapons and stuff back again.

Nice ending. The last 2 missions (or last double one) are ace.

I'll get my PS2 back tomorrow. I will first finish Jak 3 (93% done), then I might back into GTA: San Andreas.

Good to hear the ending is worth it.

This may be old news, but here goes...

Just got an email from Rockstar-they're releasing Liberty City Stories onto the PS2, and the price given was $19.99, so hopefully us non-US'ers will get it el cheapo too.


Weeeeeeeeeee. :)

The 23rd, Mr F. Amazon and Play both have it at £14.99, and Play's price includes delivery (I assume that Amazon's doesn't).

Awesome. :)
