Guest Stefkov Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 So I've spent over 5 minutes in 6 stars and havn't got the achievement. Also the mission for Elizabeta where you get the drugs back. Why is it so bloody difficult to get away from the police. I was on 3 stars and it's so hard. This is the only mission I've had to over 5 times now...>:[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Sometimes they're not there... not figured out why. If you wait long enough you get a mish in one and then you get a tutorial... although to sum it up... RT = up, LT = down, LB/RB = bank left and right, LB+RB steady for landing. Aaaah. So thats how you land. I did a Heli ride with Brucie yesterday and it took me like 5 minutes to line up the landing properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm not a big fan of the music in the game either. Off the top of my head I can only really think of five songs I like in it. WKTT is an awesome station though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you leave the building through the door, turn right and run for the river. There's a power boat in the water that will get you far, far away without being chased. There might be police boats so look out on your map and stay clear. I did it easy first time i tried that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding the missions in this a lot easier than previous game, its a bit disappointing. I've done everyone one first time. I've only had to re-do one because I didn't brake hard enough when chasing a bloke in a van and ended up in the water and falling too far behind.

One time I drove extreemely slow into some barrels I didn't even see and my car went boom. Then I tried to get another car after the first one was wrecked and I was capped. Clearing out the police in the building is easy, there aint many of them. I'll check out this powerboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 you're better at it than me, then! personally, I like the difficulty. It's a challenge without being tedious or a walk in the park. The combat is fast, looks great and fairly punishing of mistakes, too. It's made even better by subtly designed areas that go from looking like innocently placed natural scenery to dynamic, awesome fight scenes in a second. It's genius.

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 The best way to get the 6 star achievement is to get into a helicopter, fly to an Island you haven't unlocked yet and just hover in the sky for five minutes. I'm still on that fucking Elizabeta mission too. It's really pissing me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every mission I'm expecting it to get harder but it's just not doing it at the moment. The mission with the drugs and the hospital which Stefkov is talking about is probably the first one that has come close to being vaguely challenging but I just thought even that was really anti-climactic.

Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 what, really? that's weird. uhh, you gone power boating with brucie yet? that seems to trigger them spawning frequently from what i heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Not got as far as that mission yet (think it's my next one though) but i usually nick the sports car from Fausten's drive way and take it on my missions. It's a lot faster than the cop cars and handles like a dream, basically they don't have a hope in hell of catching you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that there wasn't gonna be a boat. It's just a series of events that you just know that something will or won't happen. On the way there I crashed and went through the windshield landing in the water. (This was pretty cool) So I went up some ladders, I would have thought the boat'd be there. I've tried again and it was there now. I'd gone round the normal way. It seems going from the back doesn't trigger the boat. Now I've gotta get away on the boat.

I have access to the ones on Alagonquin now though, and you're right: they offer such a sweet, precise drive and they're so fast that they make amazing getaway cars. They're not glass fragile either, like in previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring a sports car with you and park it on the other side of the building that the yellow arrow is beside (near some trees). Once you fight the police back to the entrance to the hospital, make a run for it to the sports car and bolt it away. Head to the nearest Pay And Spray and duck in when your out their line of sight.

Domo Kun Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 So I just met Packie and I still don't think it's amazing. I still reckon it's a rather standard sequel. Will I like it more soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Haha yeah that mish for elizabeta where all the cops come in was a bitch, here's what I did in the end (mostly out of annoyance) - take a motocross bike all the way in I just went through on that, shooting everyone, then plowed past all the police and got away pretty easily.

I went and killed everyone and came back and the boat wasn't there. It's floating right next to the dock yes. It wasn't there the first time though. So. How am I mean to finish a mission if Packie goes and runs out and dies. It's not my fault he ran into the middle of a gunfight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 question for those not too impressed: do you like the pop culture atmosphere? for me, that's always been GTA at it's best, and i can't really understand not loving this game unless you're just not in to the city they've made and you're just judging it on the way it plays.
