The Little Things... GTA4 style!

[Hoos]

Re: The Little Things... GTA4 style!

Im starting to believe that 6 stars are impossible to get.

I actually got a six star level and the achievement for surviving five minutes

But the way I did it was kind of weird and not planned. I got my car on the train tracks and ended up driving into the subway system. I apparently crossed into a closed area of the map (not unlocked yet in my single player) and got an instant 6 star level!!! The cops above aground were going nuts. I stayed down in the subway system just checking it out (it's immense by the way) and trying to avoid the chaos above me. All of a sudden I get the achievement. It definitely felt kind of cheap to get it that way although I did have a few brief encounters when I ventured a little to close to ground level. One time, I drove my car out of the tunnel into the the open air and was greeted by thousands of bullets Shortly after I made my way back into the underground subway, the achievment came up.

The best I've been able to do in the "outside world" (no subway) was 5 stars!! But, that required about 100-150 cops, 10 or 12 helis blown out of the sky, 200 or so peds and about a solid hour of goint postal on the LCPD

Lol I did something similar. Before I unlocked Alderney I took a chopper and flew over the island and got a 6-star wanted level. I landed on the tallest building I saw and just stood there for 5 minutes. It did feel cheap afterwards because the whole time there were choppers right below me...apparently the police chopper AI can only reach a certain height...

Very easy to do early on if you can get in the water and hi-jack a boat. It's a 6 star automatic level if the game thinks you're trying to go to another island before the story has progressed.

You can speed around all day in the boats without worry.

Me too. I actually got it for going to the airport and killing a bunch of people on the tarmac. I somehow was able to hijack a speedboat and outrun the police boats and helicopters. I was so far out in the water somewhere. I totally forgot about the achievement when I was doing that. I was just screwing around and then trying to survive!

EDIT: Just saw Pared's post. He sort of did the same thing.

Re: The Little Things... GTA4 style!

I tried to go on a 6 star rampage but failed, i took a cop car(the mustang one) and just kept dropping grenades, lasted about 10 minutes and only had a 5 star. It was fun until three cop cars blocked me while i dropped a grenade, i tried to escape but it was too late...it sure wasnt a pretty sight.

Anyone get inside the correctional facility? i heard that theres actual prisoners in there.

Re: The Little Things... GTA4 style!

I think it gave me 6 stars when I tried to run up the stairs to one of the airplanes. Haha, it makes sense if you think about it... some Eastern European guy running up the tarmac and up to a cockpit door.. hah. I got gunned down quickly though... mostly because it was unexpected and I had been driving around in one of those golfcart things... no chance.

Is it possible to fly airplanes? it wouldnt make sense why you couldn't.

they took it out because the georgraphy of LC doesn't require or even really allow them. A helicopter can do laps around the city real quick. It's not like San Andreas where it was spread out all over. The city is more dense and compact, but in a smaller overall area.

When I was killin people at a lawyers office, the cops said on the radio, "Be careful we dont need any lawsuits."

Re: The Little Things... GTA4 style!

I like the variety of pedestrians. There's more than previous games. I got into a bad drunk driving wreck, and flew out the windshield. some old jew in a black robe came up and commented on how crazy I was. It was entirely random and new, even though I have played something like 50 hours on my single player save.

Re: The Little Things... GTA4 style!

I went bowling the other night with Roman and of course I picked the lane with the most annoying volvo-driving soccer mom in the lane next to us. The whole time I hear "ah-wow a strike" and "oh no gutterball!!!"

We played through two games and I just got more and more angry as the game went on hearing her stupid commentary. So, after we finish our 2nd game I pull out my pistol and just as she is about to release her next throw I shoot her right in the back of the head. (Right in the back of the face *for you guys")

She drops like a cement block off the GWB and a pool of blood forms where she lies. Meanwhile everyone in the alley except the poor refreshment counter girl (There's no exit for her and she certainly isn't jumping over any counters) quickly exits the alley.

I know this was nothing really special, but never has a character at least in recent memory irked me so much in a game. She deserved what she got.

well they did a good job if a NPC's personality annoys you. Too many games have characters you either don't care about, or who don't pull a response out of you. All of the friends you meet either make you like them or hate them. Then the people around the city all act differently. It'll be hard to play similar games like this that don't deliver this level of detail.

Absolutely...couldn't agree more.

Re: The Little Things... GTA4 style!

I've gotten a legit 6 stars. Called "the help" you can unlock later in the game and we got to 4* then we holed up in a Cluck n Bell and just shot whoever was passing through the doors.
