Title: is something wrong with me?
Post by: Luke on November 26, 2002, 11:33:45 AM
i mean, is this game really really hard for all of you too?

im not too far into it at all and im having some serious problems passing ANY mission now. ive tried every mission i have now about 10 times each and im not even coming close to passing them.

its getting frusterating.

p.s. i HATE time limits on missions. i spend 7 minutes out of 9 i have for a mission chasing some boner around trying to get him out of his car... then when i finaly do i realize i now have 2 minutes to do 8 more... driving me NUTS.

It depends what order you do them in. Offically it\'s called "keeping your friends close" but I still had the rock band/ biker missions to do after the end credits had rolled.

Tips for the "hard" missions:

1) Unless you just _have_ to beat a mission the first time you play
it, take it slow. Sometimes it pays to just follow your target
around, and see where they go. Sometimes they get out of
cars, walk around ,etc. "Sir, Yes, Sir" is the best example of
this.

2) Know where you are going/what you are doing. If you fail
a mission, don\'t go back to it right away. Try and find a helicopter
or fast car, and just cruise around where you were. You\'ll get
an idea of how many cops are running around, if there are any
health/bribe icons close, etc.

3) Use stealth. It\'s surprising how much stealth comes into play
in this game (for me it was, at least). In the mission you are
talking about (the one where you have to kill 8+ people), it pays
to be stealthy and kill from long distance.

4) Lock, load, and destroy. ;) Seriously, it pays to kill a bunch of
peds for their money, buy all the ammo/armor you can, and then
go to your mission. So many times I said "Eh, I\'ll just get by
with 100 health and no armor," only to fail the mission again...

5) Be creative. There is more than 1 way to complete these
missions (90% of them, anyway). Use a little creativity, and it
might be easier than you think.

6) Cheat. Not for everyone, but if you\'re frustrated to the point
of breaking a controller, just ask for help, or use a cheat code...

Me too, I found that easy and did it first time.

When I tried to pull him out, it said that the door was locked, and that I should find a way of luring him out.

In the end, I completed the mission the slow way. Every time my health and body armour got low, I just drove around until I found more, then when my armour & health had been replenished, I went back to kill a few more soldiers. I even drove over a few of them. After a while, I noticed thet there was only the tank left.

The door was still locked, so I just shot the guy in the head with the sniper rifle.

If only I had thought about doing that earlier.

i just take  different approaches on missions when  i screw them up, for instance there was one when i had to blow up the shop in the mall and run like hell from the cops. i didnt want to use cheats, so i stole a helicopter, and then it was a piece of cake ;)

It helps to park the cop car/helicopter/whatever you drove to
the mall right near the shop you bomb. That way, when you run
outside, it\'s right there.

If you hop in it, drive straight (I think it\'s really East), you can
make a quick U-Turn into that lowered area next to the mall.
There is a police bribe there, and on the other side of a small
wall, a decent car. Get the bribe, hop in the car, and drive like
hell. The bribe gets the FBI off your arse, and then you just
have to outrun crockett, tubbs, and the \'copter.
