GTA_kev Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 cmw, i thought you said that you completed this game. You claimed in your post that you were in SHORESIDE VALE on that "secret area" thread that you posted earlier, meaning that you are on this far on the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colour_my_world Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ya, I had access to all 3 cities (which includes Portland, Stautnon Island, AND Shoreside Vale). I never completed the game COMPLETELY. I just play til' I have accesss to the 3 cities (Only on this game mostly). Well, thats a spririte breaker, Wheelman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helegad133 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Um, relevance, guys. Probably when I was doing 'Paramedic' and I crashed into a Perennial. The ambulance tipped over and you don't want to know what I did to the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time isaw a van, i rammed it of the edge of a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-ONE firetruck Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The worst thing that happened to me on GTA3 was when I completed the final mission and then wehn I went to save the bloody PC froze on me Grrrrr !!. Well I had to buy a new one afterwards as my japanese blood started boiling and I grabbed my katana then well need I explain the rest ? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well, this was a long time ago but I just recalled it. Okay, I was trying to get on top of the Portland train. It took many tries but when I finally got up I just slid off. It was disappointing because I wanted to shoot from a moving position unto unexpecting peds.

jacobjc12 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well, this was a long time ago but I just recalled it. Okay, I was trying to get on top of the Portland train. It took many tries but when I finally got up I just slid off. It was disappointing because I wanted to shoot from a moving position unto unexpecting peds. Something like that happenend to me a while ago (and I still do it). I was shooting at peds in the back of a pickup truck (I can't remember the name). I had a five star wanted level then when he stopped at a light I accidently shot a gang member and he shot the truck. Then the truck crashed into a wall and the FBI shot me to death . But I still do it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy vercetti guy Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I was doing Vilagant missions and I needed to get an Ice Cream Truck for the import/export garage. When an ice cream truck finally spawned, the old lady driving the ICT had a shotgun and when i was gonna run her over, she blasted the vehicle and it blew up. Second time was ok for a while. When i was driving, I felt like doing a stunt, so I did. I flew into the air and the ICT landed on its side. I stayed with the corpse of the vehicle, thinking I was that close. Then all of a sudden, I saw an ICT in the background! I ran towards it and jacked it. When I was gonna go drive away, the triads surrounded me, so I couldent drive away. When I jackd the guy, I got a wanted level, so the cop slowly moved in and busted me. Third time, I got the ICT and drove obeying all traffic rules and succes!

ThunderPower Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 So I had completed the game. I wanted to keep making the stats higher, trying to get the borgnine taxi. Well, I went on the exact memory card with the GTA3 file to free up space. I wasn't aware that it was the memory card with my file on it so I took the GTA3 file and deleted it, thinking it was junk from a long time ago. So when I deleted the GTA3 file I realized what I did. Boy, was I mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Stupid Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I was about 80%, but along the way I cheated worse than Jude Law. And one day, my game wouldn't load. So, for some reason, I decided that deleating all my other files would fix it. I had to start all over. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob. Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The most annoying pop up script in the game "what the hell??...they're not sardines, get a car with four doors!!!!" *Rob_UK cuts down on passengers and literaly cuts them up* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptomex Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 My file went corrupt once. So now I always make a backup of all my favorite games on a seperate memory card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jacques Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I was on Vigilante Missions looking for a Mr. Whoopee. After almost 45 minutes of constant missions, I saw one! I ran up to it and got in it. Then I got pulled out of my vehicle by about 10 Triad Members and was beaten to death before I could get up and run away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliPilot Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I know I have a post in this thread already but I have to say I messed up again BIG TIME. All 60 firefighter missions across all three islands, 20 each. AGAIN I QUIT THE GAME WITHOUT SAVING. The worst part is that as the game was shutting down I knew what I had done and had to watch the YES/NO screen while it happened.

The Night Fox Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) This is Bad, I was on the mission espresso 2-go and as soon as I was about to fire a rocket at the last stand, A Taxi drove into my target view then I accidentally fired and blew myself and the taxi up failling the mission! The second time I tried the mission the last stand I had to blow was in saint marks and as soon as the mission was passed I tried to get out of saint marks to go and save but I got blown up by some Mafia B****rd and failed again!!! the third time I tried I used a bulletproof vehicle and finally succeeded!!!!

Rob. Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 @NightFox, i know you've just joined and theres a rule we must point out, you can't double post, or even triple post in your case, just some friendly advice unless the server had a stutter again and posted 3 posts, but they are all different so im guessing not. Back on Topic, I never backed up my saves, and i lost Vice City and GTA3, i was most annoyed by the latter as i feel it was the best game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
