GTA: San Andreas

[K]

Colleague: So, how's GTA: SA?

Me: Best game ever, honestly it's huge. I've explored like ten percent of the map so far it's massive. I've been playing for 48 hours and I've done like five missions cause I keep getting distracted, it's so vast you just get swept up in the undenyable beauty of your surroundings. There's so much to see and do, I think I could be happy just walking about on foot looking at things. Yesterday, for no reason I went biking around the mountains, just to see the views from the top, it's immense. I swam in a lake in the countryside, just for the sake of it. I honestly think this is the most rounded, detailed and enjoyable video game ever created.

Colleague: Is it true you play a black guy?

Me:...... uh, yeah.

Colleague: Man, this series has really gone down hill.

Actual conversation ladies and gentlemen, and he wasn't joking either.

does anyone know if there are cloths in the game, like a full businesses suit that CJ can wear? I know you can mix different cloths, but I was just wondering if there was something other then just gangster cloths in the game, maybe cloths that'd help you look more like a player.

I can't do the Big Smoke 'Wrong Side of the Tracks' mission, and it's starting to do me head in

I suck because I can't figure this out so early in the game, I'm out tagging and I have 11/100 tags, but I can't find anymore and it's not giving me any instructions to help, anybody explain what I'm doing wrong or where to find some?

[K]

Tags are like hidden packages, it's not going to tell you where they are. You have to find them.

It's not part of the mission though, so you can just get them at your leisure. They're not required to move on.

I highly reccommend getting them though, the reward you get is invaluable.

It's a mission where you are tagging though with one of your friends, but after 11 I went back to my house and there was no disc to let me save.

Once you've found the six it tells you to do (It does give you a list of the first six) you should get a cut scene telling you to get in Big Smokes car and drive hi home.

Ah fuck, evidently not tagged the right things then, cheers Keef

[cthemason]

Yes there are clothes like that in the game but you can't buy them until later on.

[TOG]

I've found nothing to hender progress, but during catalyst yesterday I never got the target thing when throwing boxes, so I had to guess. Pissed me off. I'd think it was just my PS2 being a lazy ass, but who knows.

Also, a lot of people seem to freeze in the air at random moments. Which is neat.

That is all.

[cthemason]

What's the invalubale reward or is that gonna spoil the game for me?

[TOG]

Made me giggle just because of your long descriptions of it's beauty and him paying no attention. If not for that, i'd prolly wanna kill the fella.

[Kaney]

The only recurring thing I've noticed is the glitch when the scenery doesn't load properly, so the road looks shiny, and walls are blocky, until you get close. It was in GTA3, and Vice City, so I assume it can't be hugely detrimental.

Racist bastard...

And TOG needs to give me some credit for that incredibly old sig

I bet he's the type of gamer that masturbates when he picks up a hooker.

To be honest, playing as a black guy is a determent to me, because with the wide range of customization available, that should be one thing that you can change. I can understand gender with the girlfriend system... but is the game so based on racial tension and interaction that that can't be changed?

Nevertheless, I'll give it a whirl. I don't hate black people any more then I hate white people.

[Thomas]

I stole a brilliant car, by when I get right up close to the garage it won't open, I'd thoguht I'd ask before I fucked around, is there like an opening time or something? Thanks.

[apsham]

I personally would prefer a white guy, but only because it would be easier to make someone that i'd be more confortable with. The whole black character thing doesn't bother me a bit though.

[Thomas]

Just the one where you kill them and they stay in mid air.

Looks cool though.

[TOG]

I thought obesity would be fun, but it isn't.

Mine has cornrows, white tank top, green jeans, some white shoes (forget what kind, but that doesn't really matter now does it?), and a green bandana. He's got maximum muscle.

I plan to change the hair soon, but haven't decided on what I wanna change it to. Any suggestions? (No afros. They're for fags.)
