Which ending does that come from??? I didn't play much after getting either one.
Well, consideringBobFromPikeCreek said:
Kate has to die, it'd be the Revenge arc. Basically, if you keep playing you'll start to get calls with an "unknown caller" ID and if you answer it it'll be her apparently calling you from the grave. You can then take her out as normal and she'll behave like she never died in the first place. She's also removed from your phonebook (since she's "dead") and you won't be able to contact her, she'll always contact you.
No clue if it's a glitch or they meant for it to happen, but myself and others have spoken about it a lot. It's hilarious either way.

That just makes that ending that much worse. Oh well.

Not for me. The moment I got there, it failed the mission.
EDIT: And the second time
I tried to stay close, and instead the first rocket just blows up the helicopter in a single shot.
Fuck it, I'm done. Nice game but they completely screwed up the scripting at the end.

Don't stay close, I tried that and I got taken down, then I just stayed above him and dodged all the rockets until the last scripted one.
I don't get the Rockstar Social Club thing. I registered before the release and linked it with my PSN account. However, my standing is still "New Guy" and I cant access "The Story Gang". The only thing that works is ZIT. Does the club features actually work with the PS3 version?

There's a delay of several days because of the server load. I've had 100% for over 3 days and the reading on the site only jumped to 80% this morning.kamorra said:

Save. The game makes it pretty clear where you need to save.
Around 85 missions, start multiple saves just to be safe.

Woo 100% finally, now to wait for the bloody social club to get past 60% and realise I have finished the story, great, the site has to let you in to the 100% club before you can win according to the rules, how wonderful, so what, the probably 2 people its updated for will win?
You can't delete them until you do the job and as far as I know, they don't delete themselves.Undeux said:
More than likely, you just received more emails which pushed the one you want off the screen. So delete the excess (the ones you can see) and it should scroll up automatically.
I felt like a complete psycho doing this last night but I had to post to see if anyone else had given it a try...
So I grabbed a Homeland Security chopper and was flying along the waterfront when I found the driving range. Intrigued, I flew inside to see if anyone was practicing, but when I found them lined up in front of me I couldn't help but spray the entire building. What surprised me was that the civilians were so terrified they began jumping from the upper floors to their death before I could hit them with my cannons. Incredible moment which made me understand why Rockstar is still pulling user videos from the web! :lol

Doc Evils said:You know I just revisited nearly all 200 locations and I did not find the pigeon.
Do you think my game has a bug or something?
Two bits of pigeon advice:
1. Hunt them at night so the red glow is more obvious
2. Use your ears. The pigeons I've found I've heard long before I've seen. Then again, I live in nyc, I know what flying rats sound like.
I'm taking a little brake from the final mission. Wonna know why?
because there's an army standing between me and pegarino? NO. Because it was hard to chase the SUV down, fuck no. Because I've now had to retry 4 fucking times because the 30 second dirt bike ride has to be completed without the slightest mistake? YES. What the fuck is wrong with people. 800 of them working on the game and nobody caught this? All fucking game the guy you're chasing could be a mile away from you and it won't fail the mission. Now you need the grace of a ballerina on a bouncy bike on some dirt track to get past that point. Awesome playtesting guys....

Ahhh if only it was that simple.
Attempt 1. Instead of zig zagging up the hill i hit a side of the cliff. Fail
Attempt 2. Pushed forward on the stick thinking it would stabilize the bike. Got the opposite. Fail
Attempt 3. Hit a wire fence. Fail
Attempt 4. Wanted to go around the stunt jump thinking that was the right direction. Fail
Attempt 5. Bike in the water. Fail
..........................
The only thing that was truly upsetting for me was the scripted chases, nothing like unloading 300 bullets onto a car, shooting all its tires out and it still out-maneuvers you. Either way, I absolutely enjoy playing this game. One other thing, wasn't all your money supposed to be in the bank and you'd be able to take out of ATMs? Oh! Another thing that I don't like is dying in this game, you lose a shit ton of money when you do, I don't recall losing this much in other gta games.
Took me four tries, only I got to the end every time and went off the jump, but the helicopter was long gone. It's counterintuitive, but going slower really was the answer for me. I'm not sure how it's scripted, but somehow going as fast as you can only seems to work against you.TTG said:

If you get too fed up you could always go back to a previous save andTTG said:
work with Dimitri. You get a boat instead of a bike on that part if you do.
It might take a while. Lets say a few in-game days to a week. It seems to work like the normal friend stuff where you'll get a call if you don't talk to them for a while and they'll call you to see what's up.Papercuts said:
Yeah, I wondered about this a bunch of times. I don't remember who said it, meaning if it was a dev of just someone from the media making a guess just because they're there.burgerdog said:
At first I thought it was just me struggling over the last mission but apparently there are more. Once you get to the dirt bike section there are just too many trial and error bits. Only mission next to Clothes, Boots & Motorcycle that I had to redo a bunch of times. My deaths were:
- accidentally landing in the water after a jump with the bike. fission mailed immediately
- taking the high instead of the low road with the bike, also resulting in failure because you miss the ramp
- being confused with heli controls in the last part. first the game says I should focus on shooting the machine guns, then suddenly I get control. I was so focused shooting I didn't hear Jacob saying this and suddenly the chopper's in the water
- loading my save once I got rocketed in the last part
they had the opportunity to go out with a bang there, but it was an annoying piece of work
I've spent a bunch of time there with a Turismo and then cop cars when it gets destroyed and it's so frustrating. I clearly make a whole bunch of flips when I drive over the ramps but it never unlocks, I'm almost certain I've had 5 flips multiple times, dunno what I'm doing wrong

If you kill Playboy then you get his apartment and Dwayne as a friend, which is worth it just to hear Dwayne moan about his pathetic life, he'll also let you call some of his buddies to help you, though I never used it, so I don't know if they're any good
If you kill Dwayne, I think you just get some cash
If you kill Dwayne, I think you just get some cash
Man, I just about blew a gasket when I saw my helicopter catch fire. :lol
The first thing that I want to talk about is the storytelling and the choices you have to make. GTA throws so many things at your story wise, things that 99% of games don't even attempt. For one, there's no clear cut good and evil here when you make decisions and these things have a real impact on the story and world around you. And how about the choice at the end when you meet that special someone? When was the last time you've seen a game just give you the main villain like that? No struggle to get to him, nothing to be gained from killing him or letting him go. Here's this pathetic human being you've been blaming all your problems on the whole game. He's not putting up a fight or making speeches and here's a choice. Do you walk away and let him rot in his filth, or do you kill him anyway. What does that say about you? Most of the time you feel bad if you do and feel bad if you don't. Which leads me into the next point. The main character is broken as a human being. At first I was having doubts about how Rockstar was handling him and the inconsistancies, but now it all seems clear to me.... but anyway all of this has been said already, I'm sure.
Some questions:
1. Are there 2 endings or 3? I killed Dimitri when given the chance for revenge and I killed Darco as well. I'm guessing there's a different ending if I make a deal with Dimitri. Is the last section worth replaying to see what that is? is it a completely different mission? And does it make a difference if you leave the guy who betrayed you alive?

I used a Turismo as well and got it on the 3rd or 4th pass. In my case I wasn't exactly "rolling" either. The car was sliding on the rear bumper and spinning around like a top while sliding at 50mph.Darunia said:
It actually surprised me when it popped up because I was about to get ready to do another pass.
Did anybody else experienced this? I just bought a Dual Shock 3 and I already had a savegamefranke8568 said:

Beat the game today. Missed out on the 30 hour achievement by about 20 minutes.
Overall I thought the game was pretty fun. Probably my second favorite GTA, behind only GTA3.
Multiplayer wasn't really what I was expecting/hoping for. Hopefully it gets better as I play more of it.
