Erkki Posted February 21, 2005 I just completed the main story and I have mixed feelings about this game. All the elements are awesome, but Vice City (and even GTA3) were better in some aspects... I think part of it is that it is almost, or even a bit too large. Some of the edges of the world are very underused. They made the world so big that they didn't have a chance to fill it with interesting stuff. I would have liked to see more purchaseable businesses and related side-missions like in Vice City. It was fun to fly around Vice City in a helicopter and collect money from all my businesses. The city of Las Venturas is especially underused... Although, I haven't seduced Millie yet, so I have at least one more mission to do there (the Caligula's Casino robbery). Maybe there's something else after that? But the missions were incredibly varying. The amount of different vehicles just blows my mind. I find new cars all the time. Yesterday I found one of those cars that are used to drag away wrongly parked vehicles and it was cool that you could actually drag a car with it. Then while I was dragging another car and driving it into my garage, someone stole this and I haven't seen another one since. Maybe I just liked Vice City more because it was on PC. I'll probably pick up the PC version of San Andreas too. Perhaps people will make mods for it and fill the world with more interesting side-missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted February 21, 2005 mild spoilers Also, the riot thing was cool, and the last mission too. I think it was the longest mission in the game? I had some pretty close calls there with the timers, but I managed it on the first try. I focused hard because I didn't want to try that long a mission again (because on the second, third and fourth or so attempts I usually screw things up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHoatzin Posted February 21, 2005 A vehicular spoiler (for those who have finished the airport asset): Teh jetpack was the greatest vehicle ever! And I bet it was the easiest one to program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manny_c44 Posted February 21, 2005 Way to answer a 'spoiler tagged' message with a blatant rephrasing of that said spoiler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted February 21, 2005 Yeah, I love the Jetpack too. It was especially cool in that mission where you have to chase a train. I also loved the parachute, and the ones that had physics manipulations like the tractors, bulldozers etc. It would be interesting to compile / read a list of all the vehicles in the game. Did I already mention I thought the missions were incredibly varied? Much much more so that what I expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted February 25, 2005 Where are the rewards? I took over all the gang territories. Didn't even get a "a winner is you" message besides the usual "this hood is yours". In the previous games, you got weapons delivered to your homes for hidden packages. Now I've got some 30 tags sprayed and some oysters and photos and horshoes found, but nothing yet. 2. I've made some videos I want to put online, but Windows Movie Maker keeps saying "not enough disk space or some other obscure saving problem" even though there are gigs available. Maybe I should try an older version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baconian Posted February 25, 2005 You might see it as a bad thing, I thought that was cool. After all the flak rockstar got about killing haitians and stuff, in SA you see gang warfare more realistically - a horrible morass of territory-grabbing death and pain that should be left behind because it makes friends and family betray each other. And stuff. windows move maker sucks a lot of ass. try increasing you paging file in your control panel->system->advanced settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted February 25, 2005 You gotta spray all the tags before you can get anything, get all the horseshoes, take all the snapshots, all the oysters and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted February 25, 2005 Is there any free / trial video editing software that has the capabilities of Windows Movie Maker? I finally managed to cross the big SF bridge driving on the railing(?). Unfortunately I wasn't recording video at the time. I found it's better not to stop at the top, but just keep going full speed and steer slightly when needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
