hooney Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I hate the photo oppurtunity.The distance to Cezar's car is huge(especially when you don't use cheats). On my very first play-through, "Photo Opportunity" was a mission that I disliked, and not because of the driving distance to Cesar's car. It was after I got in and had to drive to Angel Pine. I kept flipping Cesar's Savanna over. And god help me if Cesar's car spawned with hydraulics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA VLSA Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I just HATED the missions for Tenpenny! I never liked working for that guy and every mission for him i hated, and not just because i hate the character. They are pointless in my opinion.

TheNextHendrix Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I still haven't done the Zero missions and i've completed the main storyline. I hate those missions and odds are won't attempt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Crook Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 What makes you tear your hair out in frustration? I just got to mission Photo Opportunity. I drove all the way over to Blueberry to pick Cesar up and then drove him all the way to Angel Pine in that terrible Savanna low rider that handles terribly. Just as I was pulling in to Angel Pine I had to pull up onto a bank by the side of the road to avoid another car - and the Savanna flipped over! I tried the usual tricks to right it, but it wasn't having any of it. We both baled out OK but as soon as the car blew up, even though we were within spitting distance of the destination, it terminated the mission Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flesh-n-Bone Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 That mission is a real p.i.t.a IMO. Annoying as hell, the first time I managed to make it to Angel Pine but T-Bone then managed to turn around and I didn't get a good image of him. Then the second time I did it. The Savanna flips easier than you can do while crouching+aiming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I'm extra careful when doing this mission. Instead of speeding to get over with the mission, I buy my time and drive cautiously. More than the car flipping over, I somehow manage to run over Cesar killing him and failing the mission. The car skids on grass, so I have to be careful not to aim the hood of the car at Cesar while braking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta007 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) the Savanna is deffinetly the worst car to drive in Edited July 22, 2008 by gta007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw!tch Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 i found doing the same thing as girish helped, majorly. and off topic, but 'gta007' i see the frustration from your sig, but who is that really helping? im sure if i were a rockstar employee i would think twice about making IV for pc, just cause bratty lil kid is ungrateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamodder Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I take my time on this mission with the Savanna, when there is a turn, I slow right down, because the handling is horrible with the acclerator on, plus there may be shortcuts, but if there is a Jump I never take it, because if the car rolls, about 98% of the time it won't go back over. Near Angel Pine, there is some sort of turn, I cutted across the grass there and the car flipped! Not to mention, falling in the water, and if it is far away from an area you can get on land, this is another thing that is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boothy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 that mission definitly took the micheal, now i just go along the freeway, its longer but safer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyGrenadeFrenzy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Weak....That is what you all are. My favorite way is to speed up and jump the guard rail at the end of the road and then take the railroad track most of the rest of the way. It took some practice to master but I still like that way much better. Edited July 25, 2008 by HolyGrenadeFrenzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikvan Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think what made me tear my hair out the most was flipping the fire truck on level 12 of the firefighter missions and running over a patient on level 10 or so during the paramedic missions. Also, driving down the highway on a bike when some jerk decides to change lanes for no apparent reason smashing into me and knocking me into the water or down the mountain. Seriously, none of those people have a driver's license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get in a hurry and you'll waste three times as much time after flipping/not getting the photos correctly/etc. It's starting to look like a consensus of sorts that Photo Opportunity is the worst mission in SA.

Seriously, none of those people have a driver's license. One of my patients in GTA ]|[ on the 11th level was stuck in the concrete block on the bridge in Shoreside Whale. I got out and punched his sticking out arms and legs to death. And In SA when i was on my last Firefighter mission the car stopped on the Sherman dam and there was no way to put the fire out unless you have one front wheel hanging over the edge of cliff. When I finally managed to do it and pull back a bit the peds came out of the car, all in flames and ran towards the edge!!! I managed to knock them on the ground before they killed themselves by jumping off. That nearly pissed me off. And I tried Photo Opportunity mission lots of times, always flipping it over next to the Lorries garage when I tries to do a shortcut across the field. Then I ran Cesar over few time. Then I managed to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamodder Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I remember falling in the water, I used to keep falling in on my first few goes at the mission, as I ignored the water shown on the map, but I would take corners quick usually, around tight corners, but no with the Savanna, if I mess it up, the car slides out quite far and into the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterEuro Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was driving around, just got 834$ from this mission that you chase this guy that delivers dope from los santos to san fierro. A motorbike cop was shooting at me just after I finished the mission and was in los santos. So my car went into flames and I had to stop really quick and get out. I got out near the Jefferson motel's entrance and once I came out I automatically came in the door. and 0.0001 seconds before I was teleported to the interior , the car exploded. I flew away and died inside the motel , because my health was 1% mega lol but ultra frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only a side mission of sorts that you don't even have to do to get 100% let alone finish the storyline, and you can do it more than once. Just so you know.

jedimario Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I hated Photo Opportunity for the same reason (having to drive that car), but here's one for you; once I jacked a Sanchez to get over there. Well I have this bad habit of getting out of vehicles while they're still moving. So I jump of the bike when I'm approaching Cesar, going almost full speed, being careful to aim it away from him and the Savanna. Well like it mattered, the bike veered to the right anyway. It broadsided Cesar's car, then bounced off the car- straight into him- and killed him. Killed! I had already tried the mission a couple of times and had finally decided to drive carefully, too. Rawr. and EDIT: The Super GT is most definitely worse to drive then the Savanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$gt. Fletcher Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was lucky and managed to do the Photo Opportunity mission with the first try. Savanna is one of the prettiest cars in the game but driving it in the countryside is just . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainland Marauder Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The Savanna is just fine as long as you stay on pavement. Off-road, it's possibly the worst-handling vehicle in the game.

This is where the advantage lies with the PC version. Edit the handling.cfg file and make any car behave like a Turismo or an Infernus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainland Marauder Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hey, once you've beat the game you can play around with cheats, modding etc. and still say you've done it the hard way.

$gt. Fletcher Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I am not very comfortable with excessive mission driving either, I prefer missions where you have to shoot people, like Black Project. I actually found Black Project to be extremely easy since after killing about 3 or 4 soldiers more health and armor was provided, however on other similar missions you don't get either of them but still have to take out the same amount of people. Yesterday it took me at least 50 times to do Learning to Fly, but once I got the turning and all just about right, I managed to do it. Then came N.O.E. and I was so sick of flying that I had it done for me over at GTAForums, heh. But indeed, after I got the desert unlocked, I have facepalmed myself a dozen times at least.
