White Flight Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) When you're in a mission and get wasted, (or whenever you get busted or wasted) do you just load then? Or do you go to the hospital/police department and start the mission again? (which in many cases involves a trip to Ammu-Nation as well) Before I used to just load, but now I try to save as much as I can, except really frustrating missions like 'Kingdom Come' It does screw up the stats too... What do you do? Edited February 27, 2007 by White Flight Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268242-do-you-load/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saget Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 If I'm dating the girls that let me get out of the hospital and jail for free and with the guns, then I don't really bother saving/reloading. Otherwise, I just reload the thing back, and because of that I make sure I saved the game before I go do some mission.

The Raven Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 If I get busted or wasted I always reload the game, I can keep my weapons after that, but I am doing it to have better stats. Times busted: 0Number of hospital visits: 0 And I want to keep it that way, although it doesn't happen often, but sometimes I get busted or wasted so I save regulary.

Lioshenka Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 at the beginning when i didnt have any guns i went to hospital, but then i got some arms and started to load. though i did police missions and they dont take your weapons away its still faster just to reload the game rather than continue Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268242-do-you-load/#findComment-4070892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofpeace Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I load when my PS2 shuts off for no reason. Seriously, if you even nudge it, it will disconnect and lose power. Then...(sob)my...(sob)game is...(breaks down crying for a few minutes)lost...(sniff) I save whenever I feel like I've acomplished alot in the game and I will come back to the game later.

Mixolydian Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Weapons are easy to get for free, so I don't usually re-load. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268242-do-you-load/#findComment-4070901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
segvirion Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 sometimes I reload, other times I just continue the game... in the beginning, when I don't have much money and cannot afford to buy lots of guns and ammunition, it makes more sense to reload, but after I start dating Katie and Barbara, I just go on with the game...

DarthSlurpee Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I usually always save after each mission. Therefore, if I die during the next mission, or just fooling around, I usually reload (but if I finish that missions first then die, it depends on how hard the mission was). However, sometimes I forget to save and just start the next mission. If I die during that, I probably won't reload. All in all, though, I don't care about the stats. It's usually the weapons I care about. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268242-do-you-load/#findComment-4071001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saget Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Weapons are easy to get for free, so I don't usually re-load. They might be everywhere, but for several missions you need loads of ammo, and you won't get that by going to the hospital or jail too often.

Raymond Luxury-Yacht Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Some people might have the habit of re-loading after failing missions, so here's just a small warning, concerning the final mission. Could be a bit of a spoiler though; so there you have it: In the mission 'End of the Line', if you can't manage to follow the firetruck and catch Sweet, and find it a huge frustration to do Smoke's stronghold all over again, just save after failing the mission. When you re-start the mission by walking into the red circle in front of Sweet's house, it begins from the chase. For my habit of always re-loading, when I played SA the first time, I had to do the crack-palace over and over and over since I just couldn't catch Sweet falling off the firetruck.

Raymond Luxury-Yacht Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Perhaps you should but spoiler tags around that one ( ) Either you were a good driver, or very lucky to do that mission in one try!

If you do Vigilante on motorcycle it takes a lot of ammo. Other than that, I', having a hard time thinking of a mission that can't be done if you start with 2 or 3 desert eagles. Refresh my mind, as I'm surely forgetting something. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268242-do-you-load/#findComment-4071228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

-/TNT\- Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I always reload. I hate losing all the weapons and ammo just because I died. @Raymond: That is some good info, I didn't know about that! Also, I reload if I fail at a mission.

Raymond Luxury-Yacht Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Another hint about 'end of the line' The white convertible we get to drive while following the firetruck seems to be 'everything-proof'. I'm not 100% sure, because I haven't done a thorough test, but some severe bumping and crashing and Ballas-fire did not seem even to make a dent. So if you like, you could just return home rather than follow Sweet, park the car in your garage, and start the mission over. Heck, this could yield an infinite number of everything-proof cars. Actually, I saved after failing End of the Line because I noticed the peculiarity about the car. (Previously, I thought it was the molotovs etc. the Vagos were throwing at the car that were ineffective.)

Refresh my mind, as I'm surely forgetting something. Remember the mission "You've had your chips", from Woozie in LV? You had to shoot loads of people with shotguns, pistols, rifles and submachine guns. That mission is always a pain in the ass, and I always waste lots of ammo, health and shield during it, that is, IF I get out alive. Or "Home in the hills". You also have to gun down several people with good weapons. These were just some examples, there are lots of other missions like that.

Once San Fierro is open, there's no need to re-load when you die, and once Las Venturas is open, there's no need to re-load when busted. I was thinking along the lines of missions that require a lot of weapons before the point in time when the girlfriends can save your ass.

Mr. Hym. Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I would reload, but I always forget to save when I do something significant, so I can't. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268242-do-you-load/#findComment-4072769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
