Anybody find any weapons on the street?

I haven't found much more than a bat. I need guns.

Really wish there were checkpoints in the missions, not had any too frustrating yet, but on missions where you're visiting two/three places, having to drive/taxi between each every time just gets annoying.

Enjoying the game more, now that I can purchase some better guns and generally not having to worry about my cash. Think I'm getting close to the third island also.

So how do you call a cab?
Click to expand...

If you hang out with Ramon, he'll like you enough that you'll be able to call a cab from his company and get a free ride somewhere. I think you can do it a couple of times in a row before you have to go hang out with him again. This option is available after the first time you hang out with him. All you do is select him in your phone book, then select Cab/Ride from the list of options.

If you want to hail a regular taxi, when you see one coming you step off the curb and hit the left bumper (I think, maybe it's the right one) to whistle for a cab to stop. Once the cab stops, walk up to the back passenger seat and hold Y to get in.

There's a shotgun in the security office at the front of the strip club in Bohan.

I've just been doing cab quests and dates and considering restarting the game, if that's even possible... Comrades never opens no matter what time of day it is, and Vlad and little jacob never answer their phones.

I love that I can get over a million rounds of gunfire pumped into my car and still drive, as long as the engine block is ok. So awesome. :D

I'm going to learn to do a 180 and plow into people with the rear end of my car like the Bourne Ultimatum.

That's shitty. If your story totally got fucked that's a shame. Luckily you're not far in at all.

Does the ZiT music tagging feature work on anyone's Rockstar Social Club account yet? I've linked my gamertag to the site, but I'm still not getting links on tagged songs when I login.

And as for my previous bitching about not being able to start private co-op games, it turns out that you have to start said custom game from single player rather than party mode. Unless I'm mildly brain damaged and overlooked something obvious, that is.

are there any cool numbers you can call other than 911?
Click to expand...

If you have your GT linked to the R* Social Club, you can dial ZiT-555-0100 when you hear a song you like. Then go to the webpage and it'll have the artist/name and a preview and the option to buy (IRL). :lol

By the way, I had auto aim turned off, but that makes some of the early missions IMPOSSIBLE. Stick with auto aim on...it's still a challenge to keep your cover and aim for the head (otherwise they take quite a few rounds to go down).

Haven't tried it myself, but there's a way in-game to find the location of all hidden items, including weapons and pigeons. I don't honestly know if this trips the 'cheat' trigger and turns off your 360 Achievements.

Log on to the in-game internet and browse to ww w.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com, without the space. It will display the game map with hidden item locations marked.

Yeah I just tapped Michelle, so I'm going to do some stupid shit for a while then restart. I got into the other island once, but I got shot after walking around for a while.

Michelle spoilers and theory:
I think this here gal is a cop. She asks too many questions a normal girl would ask. I wonder when she's going to come out?
Click to expand...

Yep, this is basically a lock. In one of my dates
Niko also mentioned 'what a strange girl, asking me all these questions'. On my last date she asked if I knew someone who could get her coke and she keeps asking me details about my job. Also her warm coffee lines are pretty obvious: 'oh you're so interesting Niko, tell me more'. Confirmed. The hints aren't that subtle either :p

that is kinda cool...

also, are there any alternate handguns? so far this game doesn't seem to have a huge number of guns like in Vice City or San Andreas.

I was doing one mission with a big warehouse shoot out, and my bullets were tearing apart the concrete walls that the guys were hiding behind.

hope its a
revolver. So far I got the pistol, two shotguns, two SMG, aK47, sniper, molitov, grenades, and body armor. Just looking around the underground gun stores, they don't have too much.

Same here! Only my first experience with this was in the first real li'l Jacob mission, where you have to take out the drug guys. I kept shooting the guy's cover and after a while I could just hit him while he was standing behind the wall.

I did not think this aspect would be done so well, the walls can really be torn apart.

Who cares if this game doesn't throw high res stuff in your face, the level and amount of detail is simply INSANE for a game with this scope

Whoo. Me, BobtheFork, Maggot9, and HijoDelocoroco were playing those co-op missions. That's such a blast especially the one where you have to take the guy from the airport in an armored truck. Good times!
