"Wrong side of the tracks"

is the most frustrating mission of all time

I thought that one was quite easy. the one i hate is smoke riding the bike and u have to shoot of the back. thats difficult in my opinion [/b]

Found neither frustrating, found both VERY enjoyable!

I'm currently struggling on the "House Party" mission - where do all those Ballas come from????

 

[ak47]

finished the game yesterday

well the storyline anyways

worst missions are

Zero missions - Supply lines and the plane shooting from the roof mission (forget its name)

Wrong side of the tracks

The very last mission - wont go into detail, to prevent spoilers, but the last missions a doozy

sure have champ

at the time i completed the storyline of the game

i had 44 hours real time racked up, in 11 days.

4 hours per day............to be honost i thought it was more than this

in the first week i had 12 hours sleep..........i was torturing myself, and work was an absolute mission to turn up to.

but its all worth it in the end...............great games, deserve great attention!!!

Got my new copy of TW2005 the other day (old one had a bug where u couldnt load up seve ballisteros)..........time to start smashing another religous pastime, in the zone with Tiger.

My PES4 gameplay has suffered immensly.............but not winging, coz what an awesome game to fall back to, when u get over others.

 

[top gun]

yeah supply lines is torture! the closest ive got is about 20m from finishing it...soooo frustrating!

where's is the horse betting - can u bet straight away or do u have to unlock it

nah dont go horse betting.. TRUST me, i've lost over $10,000 betting on the damn animals! its so addictive, u always think the next will be the jackpot.. everytime u choose the best horse the most useless horse will win and vice versa.

but if u want to throw away ur money instead of spending it on hookers and cars then by all means go hard..

 

[Ripper]

WTF?

My system is simple, bet a 1000 on the Green Horse, usually it takes about 5 or 6 attempts, but thats $12000 at least for around $6000

I know what you mean, I was at a casino and playing roulette, put $1000 on the column which has odds of 3 to 1, lost a lot of money very quickly because I was sure the next roll would be mine.

 

[ak47]

Buy the house near the park due east of horse betting - 20 seconds drive

use that as save point

go to horse betting

continually bet on the green horse, if u always lose and lose all ur money re-load from the house and drive back

i got my cash from $10,000 to $10,000,000 in a matter of 30 mins

i now have $35,000,000 thanx to horse betting

went to casino and lost $5,000,000, on blackjack and roulette - the casino plays like a casino, and u can lose easily just like real life

the green horse at horse betting wins more than 1/12th of the time.......ie in 12 races it will win atleast once sometimes more often, as ripper suggested.
it rarely wins 2 in a row, so when u pick green winning, for the very next race go purple or another high odds horse, then go back to green after that race.

NEVER BET ON BLUE OR RED
EACH WINNER IS RANDOM. THE BLUE HORSE DOES NOT WIN MORE OFTEN THAN OTHERS, THUS NULLIFYING THE ODDS SUGGESTING ITS THE BEST HORSE.

 

[top gun]

yeah i made $27mill in about an hour. you notice the same horses keep winning so when they're green stack up!!! "kellys boy" made me millions

 

[Ripper]

God Damn.

My Saved Game corrupted when I was up to Las Venturas, now Im stuck on the 1st Cesar Race in Los Santos - I fluked it the first time round, now I cant get past it

 

[-JJ-]

Yeah, that's why I always make a second save file every 5-10 missions.

*will do that when he gets home*

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Ooooooooooooh God! Zero's missions are hard! Destroying the couriers is easy - getting back to the rooftop ISN'T. Managed to do it by the skin of my teeth...

 

[captainamerica]

Is anyone here still only in Los Santos???????

I'm just taking this game super slow. Got caught up bangin Denise and shooting drug dealers and turning Los Santos green (I love provoking gang wars -- man that is fun!).

I think I'm nearly done with all the Los Santos missions, maybe one or two more.

Now, be easy on me, are there missions in the countryside of Los Santos -- like proper contacts there or is it random one-off things. I don't know. I don't go to that area much. Reminds me of home.

Yes there are - you meet Catalina from GTA3. As well as this, you meet some loony called "The Truth" and Cesar (CJ's ***** sister's boyfriend) has a big role to play in t'country.

 

[Ripper]

The Countryside Missions are easy

Damn this game is big.

I feel like I've done tons of stuff, enough worthy of completing or getting at least halfway through any other game and in this beast I've done diddly squat. And still having fun.

Just did the mission (think it's called reuniting the families) where the cops chase you and jump all over your car. Terminator 2 style. Good lord.

 

[Ripper]

1 More Mission after Reuniting and your done...

Have 2 saved games one before you complete Green Sabre and one for after you beat Green Sabre, after you complete Los Santos you cant do Gang Wars until the final 9 missions and you lose your terrortairy

Next time you visit Amu- Nation, take a few minutes to listen to the radio station inside the shop. Absolutely hilarious from start to finish:

"The store leading the fight against Communism is having a blowout sale."
