How about doing the Taxi missions in restricted areas for kicks?
Nice job, though. I’m enjoying these videos. 👍 Though, I do have one question. With the police bribes, are you just collecting those to get your stars earned stat up, or do they actually do something useful like slow the cops down for a second?
Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I wonder if they'll be popular in Japan early next year. I've tried triggering various R3 missions in restricted areas in several GTA games without success, but I'm not sure that I've tested the Taxi mission - sure would be fun to try. Usually the missions refuse to spawn targets until the character is in an open part of the map.
Collecting bribes seem to be causing some general confusion about my strategies. 3 stars or 4, the bots in view still chase CJ just as hard. Basically, I'm running many of the escape routes I've learned and these often include bribes. Even when I'm messing around and driving across the map I still hit up key locations like bribes, armor, and snacks. Sometimes it seems like I'm going out of my way for no reason, but the
bribe north of the garage set me up for a safe line to the lower corona. And the
bribe with a flat allowed me a running start at the hill - there's frequently a roadblock there that the bribe route avoids.
Also, I use a map to script my routes and try to include as much as possible to keep the video interesting. I need to weave around town to reduce roadblocks and pursuit. Usually I take random paths but when recording I plan and practice everything ahead of time.
I never thought about the stats until recently when I started documenting the process. I learned something new the other day, but can't quite figure out the numbers. The different health boosters provide different amounts of health. Anyway, if someone has better information please let me know.
