Mr Slick Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) No really, i've completed everything, EVERYTHING. I've checked my status around 39 times and it seems i HAVE completed everything, but i'm still stuck at 99%. Could this be a glitch? From my recollection, i have not used any cheats. Damn this is frustrating.... Edited January 5, 2006 by Mr Slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demarest Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I try to stay away from personal attacks, but I was taught in school that % is percent. As in per cent. As in "out of 100". Therfore EVERYTHING would be 100%. It's a mathematical fact and is not left for negotiation. Being stuck on 99% is frustrating. But don't let it get you down to the point of fabricating lies on a forum. Forums are good for spreading info and that info should be truthful.

Justin Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Settle it, kiddoes. As much as you might not want to accept or believe it, Demarest is correct. 100% means everything. 99% does not. The game, being unbiased as it is, does not lie. If you haven't got 100% completion statistics, you haven't completed everything. I know you might think it's a glitch. And I can tell you now, I've heard claims of glitches preventing the game clocking over from 99% to 100%. But as far as I'm concerned, it always boils down to the user missing one tiny detail. The only such glitches I'm slightly inclined to believe are the ones relating to missing hidden packages or the failure of the game to credit you with unique jumps. And as such, it's plain and clear in your statistics that you'll have 99/100 hidden packages found, or 35/36 unique jumps complete. I'm not trying to be an asshole about it, and I'm sure you're a reasonable guy so you'll understand. I can't speak for Dem, but I'm pretty damn sure he wasn't having a go at you either. I suggest you have another good look over the link Spuds provided you with. Double, triple, quadruple check your statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have but while i'm here, a translation for the.. more sensitive: I seem to have done everything. I've done everything on the checklist. There's no debating. (well).. I try to stay away from personal attacks, but I was taught in school that % is percent. As in per cent. As in "out of 100". Therfore EVERYTHING would be 100%. It's a mathematical fact and is not left for negotiation Me to Einstein. Which posed the question. I've done everything on the checklist and i'm still at 99%. "Could there be a glitch" as seen in my initial post. Check again for clarification. We can really get picky and start correcting eachothers spelling too (Therfore) but that would be bordering on bitch-like behavior, wouldn't it?

Spuds725 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 "Can't we all just get along".... If you are on PC-- can you upload your save and let someone take a look at it.... check out theSave N Play thread -- has several places to upload your save to-- post the link here. I'm reasonably certain that my checklist is complete--- did you actually go through the checklist in your game and mark everything off as you actually checked them??? or did you mark off some things from memory???? It could be something as simple as not buying one of the safe houses or not finishing a mission string--- the most common missed thing is the ammunation gun range (score of 45 or better)-- this difficult to pass and is NOT in your stats--- you have to complete this AFTER the Malibu mission "the shooter" The only glitch I know of that can keep you from getting 100% is the trial by dirt/test track glitch-- but it only prevents you if one of the times isn't in your stats--- I know this bug occurs in both PS2 and PC--- I'm not sure of xbox. And there is a workaround for it.. A widespread rumor is that cheats prevent you from getting 100%--- I'm reasonably certain that this is not true--- the only way this would occur would be if you enabled a cheat that could not be turned off-- and the cheat prevents your from completing a task--- example--- Peds riot would prevent you from completing taxi or paramedic.... If you didn't carefully go through my checklist, I'm going to ask you to check it one more time-- in your game... not from memory--- uploading the save would be the best way to verify your save is glitched or not....I'm not convinced its impossible to not get 100%.....

Demarest Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I understand it SEEMS that way. We've all been there. But if you don't have 100%, then there's something you did, but then had to reload, or you were about to do and something distracted you, etc. Vice is worst of all because of its ambiguity. Don't worry; you're not alone. Just like you're not the first to expect a glitch when the game didn't say 100% when you expected it. Time to cool off?

Spuds725 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Just to add-- when I played through my first time-- I had 2 jumps and 2 hidden packages I could not find after doing all the jumps and checking for all the hidden packages several times.... I had saved at cherry poppers and read there was glitch with saving there and initially thought I had boogered up my save..... but it ended up I looked in slightly wrong spots for 2 hidden packages and didn't land two of my jumps in the correct spots.... I know this isn't the same as you exactly, and maybe it is possible your save is messed up, I created that 99% checklist after numerous people being in your same boat---My first Karma star was for figuring out something someone was missing (they posted their stat page) If you are on PC, please copy and paste your stat page to this thread... maybe I (or someone else) will see something.... it could be hiding in plain site to you.

I'm using the PS, and i've just this second ticked off (whilst scrolling down my stats) everything in your list. It's all complete. All missions are complete, every property is bought and everyone of my businesses is generating cash. I went over it 3/4 times, painfully slowly and it's all 'complete'. It truly is - but i knew that anyway. The only thing i can think of is the Vigilante, which i did in the Rino. Surely that still counts, right?

Peeranoia Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 first place in all the races (make sure RC BARON IS FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!! thats what had me stuck at 99%), make sure you have all the jumps, make sure you did test track and trial by dirt, i dunno what else to say except it might be a race you didnt do.

Spuds725 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Yes it does (I did it my first time through)-- what do your stats lay for highest vigilante level?? If it is only level 12, look at your criminals killed on vigilante-- it should say at least 78 (be exactly 78 if you only did vigilante 1 time)-- the reason I say this is because on my game, it will say that I completed level 12 if I start a new game (will say this from the beginning)-- I guess an easy check would be is your armor at 150 when you pick up or buy body armor?? If you do redo vigilante, I think you have to end vigilante for it to be completed but am not positive... And you are positive you have done the gun range?? score of 45 or better-- this is kind of hard to tell--- if you are unsure--- start a new game and get some weapons and fire them and watch Tommy reload a few different weapons, then go back to your 99% save and compare... there is an Uzi behind the ocean beach pay n spray (thats only one that comes to mind right now)... This is frustrating me as much as you (almost)... are you near Toledo OH....I'd like to check out your save.... //edit// I do recall Peeranoia having a time for RC baron although he didn't have first... I could have sworn you needed to win to get a time but it could be this (if it happened to him)--- maybe there is some weird glitch with this mission (if you are in a close race an another plane barely beats you or something)....

Mr Slick Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've come 1st in all races and re done the RC races just to make sure. And you are positive you have done the gun range?? score of 45 or better-- this is kind of hard to tell--- if you are unsure--- start a new game and get some weapons and fire them and watch Tommy reload a few different weapons, then go back to your 99% save and compare... there is an Uzi behind the ocean beach pay n spray (thats only one that comes to mind right now)... This is frustrating me as much as you (almost)... are you near Toledo OH....I'd like to check out your save.... lol, I've done the gun range over and over again just to better my score each time, so i know it's not that. I've just again checked EVERY little detail on my stats, and it's all up there, all of it. I've left this for over 3 years and don't think it's meant to be.

Spuds725 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Did you check your criminals wasted stat or do you have 150 armor?? I only ask since you didn't mention it... I also verified my vigilante level glitch-- I started another new game and is shows that my highest is level 12 (again). For safe houses--- you are absolutely positive you have all of them-- from your in game map you should have 8 save point icons--this isn't counting the 8 businesses and the vercetti estate which would give you 17 total.

Mr Slick Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Yes, all that obtained. The Taxi missions.... do the 100 fairs need to be done consecutively one after the other, or does it not matter? I've somehow managed to rack up 228 Fares anyway.

Spuds725 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 nope, non consecutive works too--- Any chance you would mail me you memory card and let me check it out and copy it to one of my cards and send it back to you--- I could leave you a deposit via paypal or something if you are worried about mailing a stranger your memory card.... I'm serious... its the only way I'm going to believe your game save is glitched and you aren't missing something.... You would have to have the initial version of VC (the one that came out in 2002) for your save to be compatible with mine... Just for the heck of it. can you try this-- it probably won't do anything but its worth a try.... Remove your memory card, power down your PS2, and then restart it and let VC start a new game for you....when you get control of Tommy-- pause, insert your card and load your save and see if anything changed-- supposedly this can fix some save glitches.

chimpsch89 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 you still haven't said if you have rechecked the vigilante missions because i was stuck on 99% for a while and my stats said i had done vigilante but i actually hadn't and it had just counted it from my old file. i checked everything about 10 times before deciding to do vigilante and paramedic again and i got 100%.

Spuds725 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 He did write "yep all that obtained"-- I'm pretty sure he would have checked it by now (after I and now you mentioned the vigilante level completed glitch)-- mine does it on a completely new start also (no memory card inserted) so I don't think this is a carryover glitch like purple nines in III or girlfriend reward glitch in SA... Mail me your card... this is driving me crazy as long you are in the US this could be done pretty cheaply (postage wise).

Spuds725 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 From what I understand, that is just a rumor... but I would like to get my hands on this save and prove to myself one way or the other if its possible NOT to get 100%-- I have a game with just the last mission left.. I should enter every cheat and then attempt it and see what happens.... of course that would require that I actually had time to do this...

Demarest Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I mean between me and Spuds and Dem. Not me. I make Tools so I don't have to answer such things over and over. Those not eligible by way of the platform they play on have loads of info here by which to make progress. After gta_kev would go on and on about how 100% is not possible instead of accepting simple explanations like sealed missions (GTA3) and possible ways of determining it, I've learned to just wash my hands of these guys and leave them to it. I mean, 3 years and no play? If he's really so interested, he'd just play it again. I replay GTA's to 100%. It's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
