Definatly. Like the size of Ganton x4...maybe not that small but it's not big enough.

I personally like the small size. For some reason, the whole Drug Kingpin on a small Island south of Florida (at least that's what I say), is just appealing to me. Plus, V-Rock, VCPR, Espantoso, the whole South American thing, the gangs, old cars, Ocean Drive ... it's all just very cool.

Vice City is by far my favourite GTA game. I'm able to make that comment as I've played and gotten over each game. Vice City just stands the test of time for me.

Either way, I'm very into FIFA 2005 at the moment, so it won't be a while until I get back to Vice City.
 
the story and setting in VC is very good, but SA just has the longer lifespan IMHO.
 
Ive gotten 3:50 in Military Service like 6 times in a row now, Where is that extra second :grumpy: :ouch: 👎 :crazy: :ill: :indiff: :guilty:
 
GTP had database errors over the weekend and yesterday. Apparantly, the server crashed, but GTP didn't die, rather the databases ate themselves, and Jordan had to replace them (as far as my understanding goes).

GTP should be fine now. It's amazing it hasn't completely melted, seeing the number of people we're getting lately, plus the GoogleBots and people downloading GT4 Videos. The new server is a tough one. 👍
 
Well ive had a bit of time to kill and ive found out that the dumpster doesnt like a 10 tone payload (Dune) and neither does the DFT-30 or packer. they cant handle it. the packer and dft jump around and lean to one side while the dumpster just monos and you fall out the back. Once i get a hold of the car stats i will see another vehicle that isnt soo heavy and try them.
 
While I'm amused and interested by your findings, I can't help but wonder what you're trying to accomplish or discover?
Or are you just screwing around? (I think I'm going to go find out what happens when I drive an explosionproof PCJ onto something that's about to blow up...)
 
Okay, cool.
My verdict: Absolutly nothing. Doesn't matter if I park it on an exploding car, on top of 20 satchel charges or shoot it with a rocket, the bike does not move.
Also, Yosmite's do not like having PCJs on them.
 
you know how you can get 2 models of the flat bed, one with stuff and one without. I tried putting a vechicle in the back of the one with out but you cant, the outline is still the one with stuff, its just the stuff is see throught. so ther is no way to put a vechicle in a flatbed :(.
 
heh...i just sold like 100 ice creams in distribution..i think im at 334 now lol. My goal is to become the official GTA drug dealer- I'll get 500 before the night is out!

[edit]at 396!

[edit]428...
 
lol once I got stuck in an alley (last night) and I thought that i had it all worked out because the cops couldnt get me, but only the back was sticking out so people could still buy it. Anyway, I leave and decide to let them sell themselves and I came back and I had a 5 star wanted level and was being shot at by the FBI lol. Needless to say, I exploded.

Anyway, I'm at 509 now.

[edit] 510!

[edit]526! - what the hell?! My "Number of Drug Deals Made" went up to 192!

He can't play SA yet-- he's on xbox.... :nervous:

There are 2 stats for this and I'm pretty sure they go like this (although i may remember them backwards)

1. "drug deals made"-- drugs sold on the "distribution mission" when you complete the cherry poppers asset.

2. "ice cream sold"-- this includes those above, but also any you sell after.

Sorry this has gone "on topic"-- keep it "off topic"!! :lol:
 
Well, not really. You're still off-topic...just...how of topic can you get when there's a topic involved?
 
Ahhh, i wish i had something to look around san andreas for. I did go on a ghost car hunt, but it turned out to be a glendale rolling down a hill. I NEED SOMETHING TO SERCH FOR Anyone?
 
How big/small?
I found a big crack in some pavement last night. I thought it was kinda strange because it was actually modeled into the ground. (IE, it had depth).
Shaped like this, roughly:
crack5ah.png

Big enough for CJ to stand in the middle.
Try and find that :sly:
edit: I know it's general area and I can't find it anymore...

Hmm, what else?
Have you found all the BASE jumping (parachuting) locations?
BASE =
Building (there's two of these)
Antenna
Span (IE, bridge, possibly two of these)
Earth
 
PS
how of topic can you get when there's a topic involved?
As off-topic as you want without breaching the rules. This thread was created for the loss of the Test Forum, the off-topic posts in other threads and as our own GTA community's Rumble Strip.

Post whatever you want, I guess, just keep it within the rules. ;)
 
Hey guys. I have been posting for a while at this other forum that my friend made. It is pretty active environment, and there are 99 members.

I come here nearly every day-- but don't have much to say.

Still playing SA about 4-6 hours a week-- screwing around doing some un-organized killing sprees--seeing how long I can go at 4 or 5 stars on a PCJ in San Fiero (thats quite fun) and working on an occasional motorbike race....still waiting for Small to pass me back up on that one.

My kills are at about 16,300 and my CR about 245,000-- my heart isn't in killing this time, I still plan on having 100,000 before gta:next comes out-- I need to budget in a few thousand kills a week.

The odd thing about the SA recordbook (when you compare it to the VC ones) is that-- the SA one was created right after SA came out (Nov), while VC's came out about March, 5 months after the game was released--- I think the VC book may have gave playing VC some legs, the SA one may have had the opposite affect-- since in most of the categories, the SA records are pretty much getting too good and therefore, people have given up in competing-- added to the fact that the races have default cars now, so there is no variablilty in races by trying different vehicles for certain races, I think there is little room for improvement for most of the races.

Of course this is just me rambling-- I'm sure there will be slow and steady updates to the recordbook with a flurry of activity at times.

BTW-- I won't be around much the rest of the week-- my kid is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday--probably won't see me on til next week.

Spuds.
 
Interesting theory. I think I have a bunch of 'in a 100% game' records now, I just have no way of uploading screenshots.
I also think I've found a good spot for shooting down helicopters, but I don't know how it compares to anyone else's yet. (about 50 in one game day. I probably could have had more if I was using heat seekers instead of the minigun.)

I think you're right on the ball there. I've never been much of a competitor, but I like to watch how it all pans out while I update it.

I haven't played San Andreas in a long time. I'm still planning on a return to Vice City, but I don't know when. Might be a little while. Some GTA Moderator I am! :lol:
