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

OK people I need just a little help with a mission (not a lot but some)

Spoiler

Luck of the Irish. It's the mission where you get the sniper rifle. Where exactly is Packie when the prompt tells you to find him and help him? Is it to the right?

Thanks.

When I did this mission he was on the left of the alley and closer to the street level as well, just look for the last red dot on your radar or the red triangle over the guys head.

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

Are you guys doing all the side missions after completing the storyline first or as you go? I personally want 100% completion. Peace!!!!

Im doing them as I go, saving the stunt jumps for last because those are the only thing I dread to do. Besides the main story I still have the stunt jumps, the 30 cars to steal, half the random characters to find and some work to do to open up the special abilities of friends other then Roman, Jacob and Brucie. Im currently sitting at 54.07% having played 52:52:54, obviously Im not nearly as fast as some of you on here.

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

Also i keep getting texts from Brucie himself, telling me to check my email for more work, but everytime i check my email, there is nothing from him...? I think its supposed to be related to Exotic Export deliveries (my stats screen shows i've done 2 of these, but they were done very early on) and i haven't seen any recent emails related to the same thing...

Same here.

Is there a certain place I have to go to or a certain website or number I have to try to unlock those missions?

I figured out the problem in my situation. It turns out i had a really old email from Brucie which i had read, but never responded to (i now recall purposely not replying to it because i wanted to concentrate on story missions at that time). So i just replied to that old email and it "activated" the mission to find the car

So scroll down through your inbox and look for an old email from Brucie (i think all the Exotic Export emails have an attachment symbol...ie: paperclip). Once you respond to an Exotic Export email, it automaticaly starts that mission.

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

calcutta, I think the Swinger's Golf Club is beside a Burger Shot. Not sure which location, but looking for various car spawns, I saw those two mentioned together for a sports car. The most expensive one I've delivered (only done a handful) was the Turismo which netted me about 30K for perfect condition.

Yeah it was on the west side of Algonquin, in a car park near the wharf. When i found it, it was very dark so i didn't see any golf place, but i did see the Burger Shot.

I resorted to using a map off the web to find it...the map i had just showed the 30 car locations as dots - no car/suburb names on it - and i literally went to each of the 29 other dots first (even re-checking some that i had found, because i'm still not used to the city layout) before finally finding it at the 30th dot on the map

But returning the Comet netted me $19,800 so it was worth it in the end

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

how do you kill the punks manny leaves you all alone to do?

Spoiler

go to the right of the building and you will see some stairs that take you to the roof of the building next door. Go up to the roof and cross over the ramp to the building. There is a gun laying up there if you need it. One of those windows on the roof is open. Drop down and kill everyone inside. Be ready, as soon as you drop down, there is someone right there.

Unlike Brucie's vehicle retrieval missions, Stevie's vehicles are not marked on the map, and when you eventually find them, the route back to his garage does not automatically appear either...i think the reason for this is that it technically is not a mission, i remember once hanging out with Roman in between picking up a car and delivering it to the garage. All the vehicles Stevie asks for are parked though, and all of them are locked, so there is always a chance you attract a 1-star police rating, but never more.

Most of the pics he sends are also very hard to make out which makes the task harder, but generally he gives a pretty precise description of the location, sometimes even the street name (so keep your GTA IV map with you to make finding it easier). As long you familiar with car names, they are pretty easy to identify. The only one i had major trouble with so far is the Comet at Swingers Golf, because he didn't state a suburb or even an island to find it on (and the Golf Place isn't marked on the foldout map either).

As for delivering them, you drive it back to his garage on Bohan, which is about 2 blocks down from your hideout on that island. The better the condition of the car, and the more flashier/rarer the car the more money you'll receive.

I don't think i've been asked to deliver a Cogsnetti yet, which is odd as i've done 23 of Stevie's missions now...i guess they are randomised. Or it was an early one that i've simply forgotten.

Thanks, finally found it, I dont know if I overlooked it constantly or the game felt sorry for me and put it on the map but I didnt see it and then all of a sudden it was clear as day.

Holy Crap, Three Leaf Clover...

Man, what an epic mission. I'm so glad I started this mission early afternoon. By the time I made it out of the bank and into the streets the sun was setting and the lighting looked awesome.

The police chase after was just as good. Things weren't looking good.. All of the tires on my suv were had been shot, I couldn't really get any good distance between us and the cops, and then to make things worse a cop car sends us flying over the edge of the highway to a 35 foot drop to the street below. The suv, which was already on it's last leg rolls for a while and suprisingly comes to a stop right side up. But then to niko's dismay the car would not start back up. As the other guys and I start running around looking for another vehicle I figure this mission is about to come to an end. But I guess there was some confussion as to how to get off the highway for the cops (maybe they didn't want to take the same 3 story drop exit we did) and we were able to find another vehicle and get away money and all.

Someone please tell me there are missions just as good as this if not better still to come. Because that was awesome.

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

Okay, who's done? HELP ME!!

Mission where you go to the old casino and chase Dimitri: after I get in the boat, and chase him when he's in the helicopter, I guess I'm supposed to get into Jacob's copter, but after five or six attempts now (most for any mission by far) I CANNOT CATCH JACOB! I don't understand it because I get in the boat in as little time as possible, then I floor the boat, never leaving full-throttle, take good angels around the pier, everything, and I'm still not even close!! Is there a trick to this? WTF am I doing wrong?
