GTA San Andreas: Impressions from all you playas

Wow. The money really starts rolling in once you start taking turf.

When you get turf, money accumulates in front of your house. It's great!

Money, money, money. MONEY!

Find and kill the drug dealers, they drop between $2000-$5000. They wear black and sell crack to people, be on the look out.

gang wars are money pots, with people dropping like flies...not to mention a fine variety of weaponry.

right now my game save is just past the mission with the 'family' meeting in the hotel (great mission, loved it) and I'm carrying a shovel, a pistol, a mini sub machine gun, an AK-47, a shotgun and grenades. I'm trying to build up my territory, later tonight I'll hopefully take out 2 more 'hoods'.

I know we haven't had a problem yet, but mission-wise let's keep spoliers to a minimum.

Performance-wise, was GTA III better on the PC or PS2? If it's better on the PS2, maybe I should give in and buy one of those cool, new, slim PS2s so that I too, can play San Andreas.

It says I can recruit gang members now. How the crap do I do that?

I havent recruited any gang members yet...other than grab a few to hop in my lowrider to take over some turf

what part of the game are you at? have you gotten to Mt. Chiliad yet?

*edit*

and guys, there are about 3 missions in Los Santos that eclipse any I've played in GTA3 or Vice City...if GTA3 deserves a 9.5 out of 10, this game is definately as close to 10 as you can get.

Perfect Stu · 10-30-2004, 06:35 PM

Anyone else get to San Fierro yet? I JUST got there and saved, havent done any missions in the city yet...havent even explored.

There is lots of humour in the county-based missions, this game just gets better and better.

I got to San Fierro almost right after I finished the First Chiliad mission. I've exposed the whole map of that Island but it doesnt looks as exciting as the first

I am still confined to basically where you start. Im like, 10% in. I have a smidgen of "new" map, but its just beach and grass.

I have all of the "hoods" except for a couple of the Yellow ones. I have almost all (i think except for 1) of the safehouses that are purchasable so far for me. And right now i have about $76,000, something like that.

Where is the airplane flying school so i can go into the airport and fly?

Acebot44 · 10-31-2004, 03:01 AM

The schools happen sometime during the story.

You don't need it though. Drive up to the building the guy who tells you you need a license is sitting in and jump on your car then onto the roof then into the airport. Two planes inside there.

Typhoid · 10-31-2004, 06:58 PM

Hmmmm.....I have no Missions left in Los Santos, except for like...the street racing one...or ones...damn...Im guessing I either have to do the lowrider missions or get all of the hoods to get to San Fiero.

Please fill me in..because I'm confused.

Hopping the fence and flying a plane to Mount Chiliad before you can even get to San Fiero is dangerous...i got shot down by jet fighters...damn them, shooting down an innocent passanger plane.

EDIT: I realised, after flying to as far as i could get before getting missiled down, that there are NO load times.

What? Huh?

Why ould they not do this for Vice City? Vice City was roughly the size of San Fiero, or Las Venturas, or Los Santos, so why did they need 3 load times for that, and none for this?

I am cow tittedly confused here.

Perfect Stu · 10-31-2004, 08:22 PM

more advanced streaming technology, what's not to understand?

DeathsHand · 11-03-2004, 07:25 PM

Ok I gotsd a question... How the flyin' flip do you rob houses?

I'm past the mission you need to pass to start doing it, and I know you need that truck (gamefaqs said it's called a boxville)... And can only do it between certain hours... Well I had the truck and tried during the hours but there were no houses I could enter and it didn't activate a mission or anything when I clicked the joysticks...

And so I cry...

I finally rented this game and I love it(obviously)
I'm stuck right now because of my crappy TV. I'm very early on. At the first drive by mission where you have to get to the spray place. I can't find the spray place

The icon disapears after a couple seconds and it is so small on my TV.
