Okay I finished it (albeit with cheating). Now I let the credits roll and I
am so glad I can complete the other bits now without having to worry about
main storyline missions.

I have loads to do, in fact whatever side stuff there is to do, I have none
not a single bit of it.
At least now the peds have stopped rioting and I can do things at my own
pace without also having to worry about someone coming up to me and hitting
me.

First thing I think I will do is buy Wangs car autos as that involves doing
more missions. Any other places to buy which produce missions?

Have you done Zero? I still think that is one of the most interesting
set of side missions so far....you got to use a minigun, you got to fly
a plane with a minigun and a chopter....talking about variety....

Also, have you saved a complete set of your saved games? I think it is
actually a lot of fun playing those missions you had trouble
previously. Well, since you used cheats before, it would be fun just to
play it without cheats....

Wang's Auto isn't that fun .... I just do it for the money (well since
you used cheats I assume you don't have any money trouble...)

Oh I just tried driving the train around and it is quite fun .... must
do the train freight mission sometime.... by the way, how come I can't
change the train view to the normal driving view???

Can't do wang cars. The blue house icon is there but there is no longer a
message about buying it. I think it is glitched.

Read the FAQ to see how Wang Cars becomes buyable... ie. you have to
pass Driving School.

$500,000 should be plenty for all properties I would imagine?

There's a $100,000 apartment in the middle of San Fierro... worth
buying as there's two car spaces.

I also did bike and boat school afterwards. The races are worth doing
too as is trucking missions.

$500,000 is borderline, some of the properties cost >$100,000. Get
yourself down to Fast Track. Oh, and the Zero missions are much easier
on the PC. I did them all on the first or second attempt.

Beats me chief, although you can switch the angle of the
cinematic camera by pressing the PC equivalent of R3 (On the PS2, you
can move the right stick left and right to swicth, I imagine there's
something similar on the PC).

I always do Wang's Autos when it becomes available. Yes, I actually
*enjoy* spending all that time looking for cars :eek:)


Cheers,
Rob

I tried them on the ps2 version and hated them immensely. Don't wish to
suffer them again ;-)

No I only have about 10 saves which I rotate.

Ah thats the one thing I don't have - money. I never used a money cheat
only one for health. So at the end of the game I only have $500,000 which is
not enough to buy everything and at the moment I only own 2 safe houses and
the airstrip. I didn't want to ruin the whole game and get loads of money
before I should have.

I think you can only have the cinematic view for the train.

I had 1.2 mil just after getting to LV with no cheats. I played blackjack
until they raised my gambling/credit limit to 1,000,000 and then stuck it
all on red. I don't know what I'd have done if I'd lost. I immediately went
and bought every safehouse in the game and that left me with over 600k.

I always seem to lose at gambling, I can't even win the lottery ;-)

I always did the hard work first, storyline second.
That way, no missions are glitched up.
Did everything as it was available.
(any and all of it)

My 'End of the Line' saves are the 100% saves.
Easy to remember at 3AM.

Why would they be glitched up?

£33 bloody squids. I was expecting something at least in three digits,
but £33 is better than nothing.

Good thing I used my "lucky" numbers, just think, I could have £500 odd
quid in the bank if I didn't play the lottery. Moi? A Mug?

:eek:D

I can't understand why people do the lottery rather than premium
bonds.

bah thats unlucky. Sometimes its about £120 or more, just depends on how
many win it. I really think the prize structure needs revamping to give
better prizes for 3,4 and 5 numbers. I reckon thats why many people stopped
doing the lottery.

Because premium bonds don't have mass advertising what the benefits are?

Well, the lady I spoke to about a claim said that I shared this prize
with 33,000 other people!

I think I'll invest in some beer and maybe Resident Evil 4 for the
Gamecube :eek:)

I once got four numbers and the bonus ball in the Irish Lottery. That's five
numbers out of seven. My prize? 133 euro.

If I had placed the same bet through a bookies, the odds would have been
25,000:1
