Mainland Marauder Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It's mildly annoying that in "555 We Tip" that anytime you get a wanted star while driving the DA's car, you fail instantly. You so much as graze a cop who's turning the corner on the street, it's over. You don't get a chance to shake the star, get the bribe located at the construction site north of the garage in Doherty or anything. Earlier I did this exact thing, then passed it on the next try only to have the game lock up upon going to give We Tip a call. Not really a problem with the mission, just needed to vent about it "You tell me exactly what you want, and I'll explain to you very carefully why it cannot be."

GAME MASTER Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Getting 100% in the "Wheelie Weave". Wheelie Weave is difficult to achieve in 100%, also it difficult to get 100% on flying practice in desert airstrip. Racing mission and End of the Line is also difficult to complete.

Mainland Marauder Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry to take another smack at the dead horse but "Photo Opportunity" absolutely blows choad. After having to do it again, I've decided the driving doesn't really bother me. It's the fact that you're stuck in the camera view mode and can't move, and that T-Bone Mendez never really faces you. Taking profile shots of the face seems to be hit or miss as to whether the game counts it, and you never know if it does until it's too late. This is hardly news, but I just needed a place to vent. Challenging missions are one thing, but busywork made unnecessarily bothersome is another story. Oh, and you only get a respect boost for completing it. No cash.

Taking profile shots of the face seems to be hit or miss as to whether the game counts it, and you never know if it does until it's too late. Now, this is something very strange to me because I have always managed to get shots of everyone on my first attempt. I can't even remember the last time I had to click twice to capture a single character. And oh, you don't need to take frontal shots. Shots from the side are counted by the game too. It has worked for me every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffice it to say I was unhappy. "You tell me exactly what you want, and I'll explain to you very carefully why it cannot be." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffice it to say I was unhappy. Does it happen everytime? Normally, I'm pretty quick on my shots. I click as soon as T-Bone gets out of the car. I still don't think I manage a front view shot though because he turns around pretty quickly. So, I'm fairly certain that side profile shots are accepted too, at least on PC.

I don't know, I guess I'll have to mess around with it next time I play it. I saved afterward so I'd have to go back and play through to do it again. Second time around I made sure to get one just as he's getting out of the car, so I don't know if that's the one that counted or one of the profile shots I was doing afterwards. I still got the message at the bottom that reads "Photograph his face!" like I did before I failed, but then Toreno rolls up. I only got profile shots of Toreno and they counted, and I passed the mission. At any rate, I'm done with it for this playthrough "You tell me exactly what you want, and I'll explain to you very carefully why it cannot be."

And I don't even recall if Trip Skip works in this mission (I reloaded my save from the Doherty garage after failing this last time) but in any case you have to fail a mission first before using Trip Skip.

It has worked for me every single time. Do you actually need to have the target villain in the frame for each photo? I always have done so far, I never hadd any problems with it. But now you've got me wondering What if you look away and photograph the trees, or Cesar or something? What it the villain you're meant to take a photo of is looking away or if they are obscured by something? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyClifton Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 When I first did "Monster", I really thought it would be fun, but the terrain you had to travel over was such a bitch! I felt like I was driving a shopping trolley. The number of times I slid down banks and turned it over and then had to start again. The best time I did only ever got me into about third place.

gta 4 gamer Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Photo oppurtunity. Hell, I get lost everytime. Until I was very lucky. I don't get why people hate the flying missions. I hate the missions after that. You know, the Toreno missions after it. Can't do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Crook Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 You know, the moment when the Andromada can suddenly accelerate and leave you unable to catch up to it? You mean on mission Stowaway? Try leaning forwards on the bike. Tap the key. It makes the bike go faster, fast enough to easily catch the Andromeda. It's useful on a few other missions as well Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapapote Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Body Harvest. I don't know why but I always arrive at that farm during night. I can't see the farmers but they can see me (that's a big flaw in GTA, BTW). Besides for some reason the sound disappears when it rains, including shots. It takes me some time to realise I'm being shot. Furthermore their shotguns hurt as hell.

But those reasons you gave are why it's one of my favourite missions I always try to complete it without taking any damage to my health or armour. It's possible, especially with good use of the sniper rifle. But the trickiest one is to get that last truck with the hillbilly riding on the back of it before they can do you any damage.

lil weasel Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Truly the most Annoying has to be Zero's AIR RAID. Because of the droning on (long winded) preamble (yakity-yak). No way to click past it to get to the action. all the other game missions are merely difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$gt. Fletcher Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Photo Opportunity is seriously annoying. As much as I love cruisin' around Los Santos in a Savanna (preferably with hydraulics) I seriously cannot handle it properly in the countryside, it'd always trip over and you cannot pick a random car on the street like in some other missions either, you have to use Cesar's ride. I was also annoyed by Robbing Uncle Sam and Home Invasion because they take time and get even more unlikeable if you fail once or twice and have to do everything over again, and I've never been particularly very happy about the flying ones either. What I do in the Andromada chase mission is following it with the bike but staying a few feet to the left from the plane so none of those boxes would hit me, and as I'm fast enough make a sharp turn and board the plane.
