Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

I know its been mentioned in here before but at this point this thread has taken on a life of its own so I will ask again. How many side missions are there for Roman and Little Jacob exactly? I assume they dont go on forever and I was under the impression that there were 10 each but I wasnt sure, hopefully someone here knows.

EDIT- Well to add to this, I just finished the 10th mission for Little Jacob and nothing happened, I thought there was some sort of special ability that you would unlock once you completed all of his drop-offs?

you get an achievement for doing all of his delivery missions. You get the ability to buy weapons from him if you hang out enough for him to like you. He gave it to me, but I haven't hung out with him for a bit, so he only likes me like 54%, and now I can't buy weapons from him right now.

If you want to retry a mission, you can retry it automatically if you access your cell phone. I can't remember what I hit exactly, but I press up to access my cell phone, and it asks me if I want to retry the previous mission. It will automatically take you back to the mission starting point.

By the way, I tried free mode last night with three other friends and it was the most fun with a game I've ever had. We managed to get ourselves on top of the empire state building and jump off. Another time we got a helicopter and managed to break off the back end.

Oh, and try playing team deathmatch on Happiness Island (or whatever it's called) with rocket launchers only.

So turning auto save on saves time and not having to go back to a safehouse?

It screws you if you get busted though. all weapons gone, and you cant reload to get your weapons back.

the only reason you'd need to turn off autosave is if you were going for that 30 hour beaten achievement. That way you could make sure you only save after the fastest mission times.

autosave saves your game even after a date, and when you start it up again, it's right where you left off, although you're back in a safehouse. I never get busted as I always go rampaging if I'm about to die by the cops. Suicide by cops saves your inventory.

Finally getting a chance to play this baby after owning it since Thursday. As soon as Roman pulls up in the opening scene, all I could think of was "we are... two wild and crazy guys!"

This is gonna be fun...

Just get out of the "wanted circle" on the map. You can see where the cops are coming from on the map, just make sure you take the streets they aren't on or are coming from. If they spot you the radius will center again and you'll have to get out of it again.

Getting busted by the cops has hampered my ability to complete the "Shadow" mission. With no weapons to start that mission has been tough for me. I need an Uzi damnit!!
