smellincoffee Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Has anyone ever used the bomb shop in Vice Port to complete a mission? I'm puzzled as to why it was added, as no missions call for it. In the first mission for Lovefist, I suppose you could arm a car, park it up the road from the place where you begin to chase the psycho, and then detonate the bomb when the psycho is passing it, causing his own car to catch fire -- but other than that (and the car could always vanish before the psycho takes off), I can't really think of any missions in which it would be the best way to take care of business. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icuteabc Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Theres always the Kaufmann Cab missions. The Last mission in the docks right outside 8-balls since the enemy cabs ram u so you go to 8-balls and arm the bomb and run out but all the other cabs keeps ramming your abandoned taxi. So detonate, then BOOM, mission complete. Otherwise you can use it for fun!!! -icuteabc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simps Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 There are probably many possibilities for the Bomb shop, but it's really out of the way. It's too far from where you would normally go (at least I don't go around Vice Port much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icuteabc Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Alot of areas in vice city was wasted i.e the beach, Viceport, international airport and the little Haite and Havana. i mean, they are just there you can do much with them. I guess when made Vice City they were blown away at the size of the city and had done little to ulitize all the area's potential. Like 8-balls place they could have reused some of GTA3 mission concept like pick this car up plant the bomb to kill this person as he gets into his car. -icuteabc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simps Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Actually, the airport, Little Haiti, Little Havanna were used in some missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GritSandWiches4Breakfest Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 They could have done that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM! Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 It didn't have much use in SA, either. I guess it's just meant for the player to have a little sadistic, Mafioso fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenSho Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 As a side note, I didn't even know there was an 8-Ball Bomb Shop in VC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviator79 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think they just put it inthere because the bombshops have always been a part of GTA. I think they were even called 8-ball's back then as well in GTA1 Correct me if I'm wrong. I miss the row of Hare Krishna's walking down the street, and if you rammed them all you'd get a bonus That was awsome! Unfortunately they discarted that gag once GTA went three-dimentional. But 8-ball's has remained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GritSandWiches4Breakfest Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Sinse it was never used in any missions, I forgot until now that I even existed in VC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtycopVCPD Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Who knows maybe one day Rockstar will the PSP route and release Vice City Stories or something maybe and we'll help the city live up to it's potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icuteabc Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Also the group of Elvises in GTA2. Vice City Stories,i hope not. Not on the PSP anyway, computer all the way. But i hope they'll use more of the city anyway. icuteabc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
