Should I kill

Spoiler

Clerence

?

Does it matter if I do or don't?

Spoiler

Clarence

is a "random character" who will give you mission after a certain point - meeting all of the random characters is an Achievement (and also part of the 100% Achievement). So if you care about that stuff it's best to keep him alive.

Anybody know how to change the 24hr clock?

What mission do you get this choice in? I did all of the Francis missions and don't recall this.

I've started to get really into multiplayer.
There's just something about a half hour match that is so great. There is always time to comeback, or try some crazy ass strategy. I'm absolutely loving it. I'm sorta on break from the story, I put 30 hours in already and just kinda got fatigued. But my god, the Multiplayer! Team Deathmatch is AMAZING. It seems like "disallow" for Auto-aim is the new Veto. In every lobby everyone is screaming at the top of their lungs for how they want it. :lol

 

[Tobor]

Yeah, love the Heat vibe. I was getting frustrated on the fourth time but I FINALLY beat it on the fifth. Damn, was it gratifying. This is the first time the game really "took off" for me and I'm ready for what is upcoming!

5 times? Really? I'm starting to think I'm über awesome at this game.

Fake EDIT: the iPhone automatically puts the umlaut on über. That is so awesome.

head right there should be a car there, just smash the window and drive. Take out any cops on your way there. That's a tough mission, took me at least 5-6 tries.

Yea this took me a few tries as well. I called for Dwayne's goons to back me up with the millions of cops and they seemed to help a little.

This mission also had easily the funniest moment in my game so far in the beginning of the mission when I stole a vehicle across the street from where the other three guys are, they all started to run across the street to get to me and were run over by a speeding van.

That's bullshit, I can't get 100% because of one little fuck...

 

[Barrett2]

I went to the child porn site, hopefully with 5 stars the police will get me out

Wut?? Holy shit, I didn't know about that being in the game. Oh my god, this game continues to amaze.

*turns game back on*

Holland Nights.

If you keep Clarence alive his mission will become available after you kill either Derrick or Francis.

Dwyane spoiler:

She's also a random character.

I agree, it's pretty shit that you can't get 100% if you make a single wrong choice. I had to start a new game because of stuff like that.

 

[ElyrionX]

BTW, during interior combat, I use the free-aim view a lot to navigate and remember kids, never ever turn on auto-aim.

I tried turning off auto-aiming and it's too frustrating playing without it. Sometimes you turn a corner and this dude from somewhere dark starts shooting at you and you really need to take him down quick or else you will lose a HUGE chunk of life. The sensitivity (even at high) is too low and the camera system is just too slow for me to react quickly enough and take him down without losing any health.

Enemies that spawn from behind you don't help either. Considering the fact that you have to do an entire mission all over again if you fail them, I'd rather not take the chance.

If the game allowed you to regenerate your health like Gears, COD4 and Halo 3, this really wouldn't be an issue.

Yeah she's a random character too. I've met her already.

 

[jordan0386]

Next game. Dont loop the music stations. Just gimme songs, so I can hear random stuff. If I hear the Massive B intro one more time, Im going to kill myself.

Badda than them!Badda than them!Badda than them!Badda than them!Badda than them!

Reggae station with no Jah Cure. You have got to be kidding me.

 

[alr1ght]

Should I care that

Spoiler

Roman

died during that hostage standoff. I would have liked to save him, but I really don't feel like fighting again for 10 minutes for a 5 second opportunity to save him. These no halfway checkpoints are really ruining the game the farther I get into it.

Dammit. And I rushed through the last dozen or so missions to make it under 30 hours. I hope if I do start a new game it somehow remembers

Spoiler

the other characters I already met.

 

[Red Blaster]

I think what the game should've done is only let you regenerate up to half of the health ring when in cover and require food/save to fill up the rest. Would make some missions a lot less frustrating, while at the same time not making things too easy.

That's possible??? I figured that part was scripted to go down the other way. What an awesome game.

 

[jordan0386]

All this frustration, just use the damn cheats. 900 gamerpoints isnt good enough?

It takes away nothing from the experience, you will still get riddled with bullets.

 

[sruckus]

not sure if this has been posted yet but apparently Mike Richards or whoever from Rockstar posted an update on a patch on N4G.com (news for gamers?). He also basically confirms a PC version is being worked on for those of you that care.

There is extra health and armor in every mission, usually half way through.

Or they could've allowed Niko to carry food in his inventory. I see no reason why he can't buy a bag of peanuts and put them in his pocket or anything.

Every mission? I've only noticed them in the big ones like The Snow Storm. Also one thing I don't like is how you can't leave and go grab a bite to eat to refill health, which was something you could do in San Andreas.

 

[Ranger X]

:lol @ Little Jacob

Thank God for subtitles, i cannot get a single word he says.

I love how they point out that no one understands him

Any mission requiring a large gun battle indoors, anyway. Check every office, room and hallway.

shit!

Also another "random character" that must be kept alive in the mission dealing with them is

Spoiler

Ivan

(at the start of the game).

I really wish the game warned you about stuff like that.

 

[Shaheed79]

Has anyone ever had someone try to get their car back during a car jacking and when you pull off they WON'T let go of the car door handle so you drag em along for a couple blocks? I almost dies laughing watching that surprised the hell out of me. Clown must of LOVED that buick.

 

[disappeared]

Quick funny story. I stole a car with Nico saying "I need to borrow this", throw the driver out, they run back and open the door, throw me out, and I run back once more to jack them, to which Nico says "GIVE ME THE FUCKING CAR!" The context was so perfect. :lol

 

[Shaheed79]

Ok, why the hell did my date HELP me break into a car I wanted to steal? Michelle is with the program foreal!

 

[voltron]

Am I the only one that likes to pull up to a job in a nice car - park it - then when the mission is done drive off in that same car to some rad music playing? I get annoyed when the car disappears too.

And yeah Shaheed Ive ad that happen to me before on a helicopter.... these npcs were flailing about under the chopper - it was fucking hilarious.

 

[dark_chris]

Play the game further. You'll understand.

That was fucked up when i found out.
Found her strange and kept asking for dates to figure out the oddities of her.
Then when it got to that specific moment in the game, i just thought it was fucked up.

 

[MercuryLS]

:lol @ Little Jacob

Wait till you meet Real Badman. That scene is awesome.

Shit, I got dragged along like that while I was drunk. The road was spinning and shifting as it bounced up into my face.

 

[Proc]

Woot, finished the story line. Great fucking game. The I enjoyed that easier difficulty of the last mission. It was cake compared to the second last mission. Good times. I'm definitely keeping it to chip away at the 100% completion, fuck if i'm going after the pigeons but I'm sure there's other stuff to fuck around with.

They all do that. I went on a date with Kiki, got in the back of a cab when people were in, and she threw out the person on her side of the car.

lol have you figured out that you can have one more than one girlfriend yet

 

[TheGreatDave]

lol have you figured out that you can have one more than one girlfriend yet

That would be cheating. What do you take me for?

Me and Kiki have something special. I pick her up, she tells me a story about how gullible she is, I pretend to care. It's just like real life.

Get her drunk. Then you'll meet the real Kiki.

I know. I avoid alcohol now, it taints our love.

"GO BACK TO YOUR WHORE NIKO".

I just take her bowling and to chicken places.

 

[KGKK]

Dammit I have no one else to date in the game. End game spoiler

Spoiler

Kate is dead

. I missed the date with Carmen and accidentally scared off the SOBHOE chick as I tried to shoot her since she was annoying me:lol . Is there anyone else left to date?

You can date people again. Just make sure you have nobody on your phone that you can choose to dump, and then start the process.

I just saw that spoiler due to quoting you This tagging system is flawed man! Thankfully I don't really care. In fact I'm a little happy.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Loved it. Love every fucking minute. I reall hope they use niko again or someone like him that i can sympathize with again. What I loved about the ending

Spoiler

Was how much of an empty victory it was. Roman was all We won won but you could hear it in niko's voice. He sure didn't feel like that.

. Easily the best GTA game. Writing and character blow SA out of the water.

...seriously? So you can't get 100% if

Spoiler

basically any life or death "choice" is death? You need to keep everyone alive that you can?

If that's true that's the most fucked up thing ever.

 

[voltron]

So am I missing something. Ive done all the cars for Brucie... now his friend is texting me - but I cant find the first car. Youre supposed to just locate it yourself right?

-edit- I found it - I was looking in the street but I was wrong

 

[rollingstart]

Ok, multiplayer is pretty fun. I take back what I once said about it being bad.

I still wish Sony would hurry up and include an official headset with all PS3s now on so not everyone is going all Claude on me. I wanted to rally up everyone into 3 helicopters and try and get 6 stars, but beeping and random asian accent screaming didnt help anyone understand.
