I really have NO interest in continuing to meet people for pool, darts, etc. Does it matter that much if I ignore all these lame invites and just stay on mission?

Sent ya a pm

I don't think it matters for the story, just the amount they like you.

I always get a call when I am on my way to a mission, never when I am just screwing around.

I usually accept, then call back and cancel right away, then you don't take the negative hit.

Only thing is you won't get some of the perks that they offer, which come in handy but aren't necessary.

Build them up enough to be able to take advantage of their perks, and after that, when they call to hang out, accept, and then just call them back to "cancel plans" and it won't affect you adversely.

What % must they like you to get the perk?

80%

There is an achievement related to keeping them happy, as well as certain friend-related things tied into getting 100%. But as far as I know the friends will never "dump" you, so you can always build up the friendships later to fulfill those matters. I got all the friend-related stuff out of the way, plus earned that 90% up achievement, so now I don't bother with them.

Do they take away your perks if you don't?
Icalled Kiki last night, and she said she couldn't do anything. Was is because of the mission, or because she was mad?

Which DVDTalkers have the "Kill a Rockstar" achievement? I'm down with some multiplayer to get it!!

Gamertag = luke1014

That happened once to me too, but later it worked again. I don't remember if I took her out on a date before that or not.

Apparently if you let them go for too long, you will lose the special ability, but I assumed that meant letting it get to the 70's or 80's. Kiki was still at 100% IIRC.

BTW, does anyone know what constitutes a bad date? I see that I have 4 of them, but I don't remember any of them going wrong. I've been able to "score" every time after getting her like close to 100%, so that's not it. I remember one time I ended the comedy show early and Kiki made a remark about it, but again it didn't affect my luck.

I'm officially done with this, the millions of cutscenes have bored me to death and I just want to finish the damn thing. Is there any way to know how close to completion I am? The last mission I did was

Is that near the end? At least close? I don't think I can take many more convoluted chase and kill stories, but I would like to see a completion to the 28 hours or so I've put in.

Here's a mission check-list where you can see what you've done and what you've got left:

Kill Deftones! Everyone Kill Deftones!

:(


Yeah, I have it. I'll try to pop on sometime this weekend, and if you see me, shoot me a message.

It should be relatively easy to get the Rockstar achievement now... at least it was for me.

I popped the game in this past Thursday (haven't played sine 05/17), joined a game of Ranked Team Deathmatch and got the achievement on the very first person I killed.

Same, I jumped on a Turf War, ran over a guy with a car and pop, achievement.

Thanks for that Slop. Do you have to complete all of the missions to get to the finale or can any be skipped out of order?

Just finished the game last night and now I'm gonna start working on 100%...incredible game!

I've jacked 227 cars so far and last night was the first time I saw Niko take the driver's head and smash it against the steering wheel, making the horn honk.

Also I found it's super easy to do the 500ft wheelie achievement on the Faggio. The thing wouldn't flip over no matter how far I pull back.

I got it with the Sanchez, completely by accident (well, I didn't know about the achievement), while going over one of the big bridges. Ended up being like 800 or 900 some feet. Just wouldn't fall over.

according tio that checklist posted, I haven't finished all the manny/ezliabeta missions, but they are not on my map at all. Is it because I havent' done all the brucie missions yet? I've done all the PBX/Dwayne missions, just not brucie's...I'm having trouble with search and delete. Any pointers?

Yes - sometimes a few missions will remain unavailable until you complete some for others.

Don't remember search and delete - provide some detail if you want and if I remember....I'll give ya my two cents.

I believe Search and Delete is one of the chases that eventually ends and they get out of the car, so just concentrate on following them until it's over.

that is the one. I keep trying to shoot at him while driving 200MPH and I always wreck and lose him. I'll try just chasing him. Thanks!
