I beat the game! yay! And I got the "Everyone like you over 90%" achievement, had to take Dwayne on one more run....black people love their chicken.

In a few days I'll start my speed run, do all the missions, don't kill anybody I don't have to, ect..

Then, after I complete the game again, I doing the other stuff (package delivery, both car delivery, ect...)...is there anything that needs to be done early on to get the 100% that can fuck me over?

Get some of the text message cars when you can, or at least don't let the messages get deleted or have too many that they'll be pushed off your saved ones. My Mate's finished the game and he doesn't know how the hell to start the text message missions now because he can't find the SMS'.

[Dingle]

Go on an internet guide and find where the frst car is.

I love how Dwayne himself points out how cliche it is.

EDIT: Has anyone seen the graffiti referencing past characters? SPOILERIZED~

I've seen graffiti around the game that says stuff like "CARL RIP" and "TOMMY RIP" with messages like "You'll always be my hero" and "We'll miss you" sprawled under it. Pretty neat.

So I'm finishing up missions for Little Jacob. I'm doing the drop under the tunnel. I'm pressed for time, badly. I make the right hand turn to head towards the underpass, hit the barrels and BOOM! Up in flames I go.

Fuck.

Depending on how much time you have, you can still get out of the car and run to the marker in the tunnel. The car doesn't have to make it to the marker.

No you can't go back and do missions. Also, you know you don't have to take that car for Jacob's missions? To save time all I did was take a taxi.

Has anyone heard about this game supposedly being traded in a lot? Some dude on another forum made mention of how he didn't like it so he went to trade it in for something else and was "surprised by the number of trade-ins for this game". The guy in question barely got out of Dukes/Bohan and into Algonquin before coming to the conclusion that it's "just San Andreas with more distractions and less fun". I guess he didn't even try multiplayer or anything, but I'm getting off topic -- has anyone heard anything about the game being traded in a lot?

[Meacon Keaton]

I've been to every Gamestop within 20 miles of my home in the last couple days (how can there not be ONE hockey game in any of these stores?!?!) and when I look at the used games section, I don't think I've seen any used GTA's on the shelf.

[Cadet Ember McLain]

I've seen a decent sized shelf filled with GTA trade-ins, so I could believe that it gets traded a lot...

[tristy]

gahhhh, fuck the Revenge/Deal missions. I can't complete either one, after numerous attempts.

[therockbox]

I know there's the map showing where all the sidemissions are for the people that just appear on the street, but is there one with a list showing what times they appear?

[abundant]

Random characters don't appear at a certain time, they're just random. Eddie and Sara show up randomly at night, while the rest usually appear in the day. The only thing you can do is drive around their locations and keep an eye on the map.

[JairusCain]

So I've heard that once you beat the game, it's actually over. Like, you can't free roam play after you finish the last mission. Sooooo, with that being said, without spoiling anything, could someone tell me WHO gives you the last mission, so that I know NOT to complete their missions before completing everything else? Thank you.

[Kaney]

I don't know who told you that, but it's rubbish. There is a free play mode after the final mission.

[JairusCain]

Okay thank you. I thought it sounded a little stupid for it to work that way... but I thought it safest to make sure. Thanks.

[Clawson]

I remember Brucie calling me about Steve or something but where do you find him?

[Kaney]

You don't actually meet Stevie, as far as I'm aware it's only just through text message you communicate with him. He sends you a picture of cars he wants you to steal, then you uh, steal them.

Carl can't be dead, he's on the TV show I'm Rich on the Teevee.

I beat it during my week long escapade in another city and goddamn did the story take a nose dive.
