Grand Theft Auto IV

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

I'm at 71.16% in just under 53 hours. 88 missions completed i think, so almost finished the story.

Completed the following:
- all 30 of Stevie's vehicle deliveries
- all 10 of Brucie's vehicle deliveries
- all 9 assassination missions
- all 10 Little Jacob package deliveries
- played and won each activity at least once

To do List:
- pigeons (only shot 6 lol)
- Unique jumps (only found 14 and only completed 10)
- Most Wanted list (haven't started)
- Brucie's races (just done 1)
- Random character tasks (found and completed 7)

In the stats screen, under the SCORE menu, it shows "Vigilante" missions or something...what is that referring to? (It's not the Most Wanted list as there is a separate stat for that)...if it's related to 100% completion then i still have to do all the Vigilante stuff too then.

Vigilante missions are towards the 100% completion, what you have to do is get a Cop Car and then click on current crimes or something similar. It will then show you crimes that are currently taking place and then you go and kill that person(s), you have to do a minimum of 20 of them towards the 100% completion. Tough to gauge where you are in terms of faster or slower then me since Ive done all the pigeons and fewer missions but spent more time doing it, Im roughly around 68 hours I believe. Let me know if you need any help with anything, and on a side note, I would really suggest using the following website to find the pigeons, it not only has descriptions as well as a picture and a video showing them blast the bird to help with it...

You can also click on the map to open it in a seperate window, it works well and really helped me once I found it.

Is anyone having any problems when going into a fast food joint at all? Everytime I go in there and I attempt to order by pressing L1, there is this really long pause before he actually orders, and now I pressed it and he is facing away from the counter and stuck, I cant order, I cant move, I cant do anything other then pause the game, what the hell is going on with this game sometimes? Between this and the freezing earlier Im starting to become annoyed with it, there is no reason that this should be happening.

I only have a long pause, but it eventually gives it to me. I don't use those much anyways, as there's usually a street vendor around.

Thats what I used to do as well but now I take a cab everywhere and I dont know where a street vendor is by memory unfortunatly. I had to load my previous save which wasnt a big deal, just frusterating to go all over town to do something and then it freezes there, ohh well, Im almost done with the storyline anyways.

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

I have a question about the final mission.....

Spoiler

So I chose to kill Dimitri and Im on the boat, anyone have any tips for this? I get all the way to the cargo hold but got killed at the ambush, and of course Im sure Im going to have to do everything over again, nothing like having no checkpoints to work from. I know there is health in the cargo hold but I have to get past the ambush to get to it, and of course I couldnt do that, so Im looking for anyone that can lend a hand here.

they're just scattered around. I know a few from memory, but's it's often easy to just drive around and find one, usually while making a trip for body armor. While the cluckin' bells do give me problems, I can walk into a diner and get food right away. There's plenty of chances to get health around.

I never saw that woman, maybe it's just game art or something.

As for bernie..

Spoiler

you're probably 85% done with the story, maybe more. He shows up late in the game and you do missions with him and keep going on for a little bit.

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

The cab system was one of the best additions to the game. Thank god I don't have to drive everywhere all the time. That was my biggest beef with San Andreas as it was soooooo huge!

yes, she's in the intro and game art, but unless she's someone you can date, I haven't seen her. She's not a main character, and I haven't seen her in the game.

Spoiler

and again on bernie, he shows up later in the story, but it can depend on how far you are with some other guys. I got to him last after doing everyone else, and all that was left on the map was his B icon. Then after doing his missions, it opened things up a bit more. I think the total number of missions to complete just the story is around 90.

Where are some good places to cause havoc? I found one last night. I was able to jump on some roof tops from the train tracks and cause some nice havoc, but I killed myself when I shot a rpg into a tree right in front of me and I couldn't find the same place again.

the time square place is always crowded. You could land a helicopter on a building and go crazy.

If you have a sniper and RPG, theres a building right across Happiness island. Its by Star junction, not too tall not too short, land there and you can cause some nice riots...one of my favorites spots.
