So have any of you failed any missions and quit trying to pass them?

I am currently at the mission where Big Smoke and I . Damn that mission is long & tough. Big Smoke sucks as far as defending himself and staying behind cover. I also tried the mission for O.G. where you

I am not very far into the game but it seems like the mission are either too easy or pretty difficult. But I am loving every minute of it.

I don't know which drive I have, how do you find out? I think I have had my xbox since 02. If your drive does die what does it cost to get it repaired? I really don't want to lose all my gamesaves.

Just Business (Big Smoke mission) can be tough. It took me 4 or 5 tries. The stealth mission was easy just go in blazin hommie. THATS HOW I ROLL.

I'm heavily into the turf wars. I've got a majority of the first town but I'm wondering if I take all of the "Purple" gang's turf will they all be gone forever?

xVladx

Well, there's a simple and a not so simple answer to that...

Simple answer:


Not so simple answer (contains vague plot spoilers!)

Do you get anything for controlling 100% of the hood then? I think I'm getting some extra benjamins at my crib for each turf I jack but is there any other advantage?

xVladx

Something to consider before you try going for 100% turf control, though (minor spoilers)...

RVP

I am about halfway through the San Fiero missions. So far the Turf wars were my favorite thing to do. If I would have realized I wouldn't be able to do it through the whole game, I would have done it more. Can you gain turf again later in the game?

SinCity

i know the turf wars, "Just Business" and "reuniting the Families" were my favorite missions in any GTA game....ever. But now in San Fierro and Badlands most of the missions ive done so far are drving around, taking pics, pimping and shooting down RC helicopters. Does SF get any better, and also is LV a big pick-up from the game?

xVladx

It's hard to say, really... I found that there were some interesting missions later on (and there's one event that happens later on that's really neat, but it's not related to any specific mission per se). Personally, I think I enjoyed the beginning LS missions the most, as well.

How do you assemble a gang? I get a message saying that I can now run a 3 man gang but I have no idea how to do it.

xVladx

Target one of your gang members (the random guys wearing green), and press down or up on the control pad. Once they're with you, you can press down on the control pad to have them stay put, or up to call them to you. If you hold down on the control pad, it will disband the gang. Also, going too far away from fellow gang members will also knock them out of your gang.

Unfortunately, they'll only get into the same car as you, and won't follow you around in seperate cars.

SinCity

i wish those guys could drive their own asses around while i shoot or something, thats probably why i liked "JB" and "RtF" so much becuase you got to finally get choferred around and shoot. Plus, the pure chaos of those two missions, esp. "RtF", was seriously bad ass.

RVP

Man the Zero missions are hard. I hated the stupid RC vehicles in the other games and i hate them in this one. The stupid RC plane is so hard to fly.

SinCity

im still stuck on "Air Raid". Damn, i shoulda let Zero's landlord sell his dumbass shop.

Also, how come every house ive robbed in San Fierro is exactly the same? Were the houses in Los Santos the same (i never robbed em back then).....

xVladx

Yeah, that's easily the hardest mission in the game. None of the other ones even come close to it. The trick is to figure out the best order to take out the couriers... well, that and getting used to flying the plane .

RVP

I thought the exact same thing after I got the Rc Plane mission, what a waste of money! Well the chaingun mision was kinda cool.

I really didn't do too many burglaries, it seemed like a slow and boring way to get money. I would rather cap me some balla fools and take their paper. I did go into a house to rob it once and about six ballas started shooting me for comin in their house.

xVladx

The mission after Supply Lines is a fun one, though, and the reward for beating all of Zero's missions can be handy.

SinCity

spoilers pleez? ^^

sdcrym

I don't know which mission Supply Lines was, but for beating all of Zero's missions you get



More specifically,

xVladx

sdcrym covered the reward for Zero's missions already (fyi, Supply Lines is the infamous "remote controlled plane" mission that gives everybody a tough time). If you wanted to know what the mission after that entails:

Ah yes, that did suck. Not near as bad as the 2nd level of the blood ring, though. Whoever designed that is somewhere between an idiot and a sadist. The highest I could get my time was barely over a minute, and it took me about 20 minutes to get that . Eventually somebody's car exploded next to mine and took me out.
