Yeah, I know, I did it for one island. I was just wondering if I had to do that on all the islands or just one

Ok, this is getting slightly ridicolous, since i finished the game yearsago.ok, weeks, maybe one month
Just tell me what's inside and let the bullshit end.
It's just a list of people who've finished the game and their time. It's nothing special. Oddly, it lets me into that, but tells me that I have 0% done when I try to enter the 100% Club. I had 100% almost 2 weeks ago.

Also, on the right are some "downloads:" desktop wallpaper, buddy icons, a myspace theme - nothing worthwhile. I had been as high as 78% for the 100% club, but now I'm back at 0.Oozer3993 said:
Great job Rockstar. I'm totally over your stupid club.
(oh, and congrats Voltron! welcome)
If you mean in terms of stat tracking.. Rockstar said that they can accurately see your correct stats all the time. It's just that the site doesn't reflect it properly because of the server load.flunkie4455 said:
If you mean in general, yep. It's far less than anyone expected. It's pretty much the least social social club ever.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through my 'speed run' for that achievement. It's not going to be anywhere near the top of the story leaderboard, but I am skipping cutscenes and mostly taking taxis everywhere. A few missions a day - it's still fun.raYne said:
As for the social club - letdown total. Not only is there zero social interaction involved, but I get angry and frustrated everytime I go there. I expected a lot more worthwhile content - like the stat tracking on bungie.net, and I certainly expected it to be running properly a month after the release.

What ever happened to leaderboards for every imaginable stat in the game? WTF Rockstar?

I rather dislike the pacing of the story.
It starts off slow, builds atmosphere, then explodes into a flurry of interesting plot twists and turns (
) and then it mellows out significantly for the remainder of the game. This mellow period has been very uneventful in regards to Nico's plot and character development and that upsets me greatly.
All of this praise about the game's story and most of it is speant developing other characters that you

Rockstar: you crafted one of the most nuanced and interesting characters in the history of video games. Why did you slow the pacing of his development to a near-absolute crawl when the game's exposition comes to an end?

The whole Vlad cutscene is when the main conflict is introduced

end up killing after several missions anyways (although I'll admit that Francis was well developed before I popped one in his head

Does anyone have tips for
? I've managed to get close to getting rid of my Wanted level but at the last moment a cop spotted me. I was just wondering which island I should try driving around in order to get rid of my wanted level or if anyone had any crazy alternate ideas.
Derrick's last mission, the one where you need to block the tunnel and drive away with the prisoner in the cop truck
WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT WATCH AMERICA'S NEXT TOP HOOKER? Dammit Rockstar, you actually make a good idea for a show, and we can't watch it, stupid bastards. It better be in the DLC man. Hate the fact man. Out of all of their fake programming, that is the one I wanted to watch the most.

I just did this mission again last night, and it's a pain. All you can do is make lots of turns until the cops don't know where you are, and then watch the minimap while you make your way out of the wanted zone. Stay off big streets.Cardon said:

Yeah, for some reason, the stuff that you actually would want to watch they advertise the shit out of and make you want to watch it, but when you go and try to watch CNT that rich show is fucking on. Dammit. That anime they make fun of sounds pretty good to. Also, you were supposedly would be able to do drugs in the game, but they took it out due to controversy. Hell, in GTAIV, they even have Niko saying he shouldn't drink and drive so they can use it incase Fox attacks them.
