Lance_Vance_Dance Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 No one can describe the way i feel right now, no one can. Today at exactly:1:22 pm I said to myself, i wanna attempt 100% today... I started playing vice at 1:34 pm and i played straight thru until 7:54. Then..the world came to an end. I started the day out at 65%. I completed All RC Races, all Checkpoint races, all rampages, all packages collected, all jumps, lv 12 on paramedic, firetruck and vigilante and then lv 10 on pizza boy. i had 99% by now, and then i completed the hot ring at last to get 100%!!!! I was so happy i was jumpin around my room screamin while my parents were tellin me to shut up, i went back to my mansion to save, and try out my newly earned bodygaurds, i was fidgeting with my thumbs while i waited for it to load the mansion...but it didnt!! i said ok maybe its just takin long, but no, ladies and gentlemen, MY GAME FROZE AT 7:54, NOW A TIME I WILL DREAD FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!! i opened the tray put it back in but i didnt work. By now i was a crazed lunatic running outside in the snow (im from canada) screaming WHYYYYYYYY GOD WHYYYYYY while having a mental breakdown, no joke. people asked me wats wrong i said the world is gonna end they stared at me and just said get it together man. i even heard sumone mutter get this kis a therapist. I WAS DYING. A GAMERS WORST NIGHTMARE CAME TO LIFE TODAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 damn dude, that sucks. All i can tell you is that you had your ps2 on for too long. I dont think it overheated, but you gotta give it time to cool off once in awhile. It might be because you have the first edition of the ps2. I use to have one and it couldnt even read blue disc's, so i bought a newer model. But yeah man, you gotta let your ps2 cool down www.AdrianLopez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killa Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 yeah if ur going for 100% then save at certain points. dont do it all at once. Of course im still working on getting 100%. Yeah but that does suck man. I would feel like sh*t if that happened to me lol. i would be so mad i would go on a killing spree ( well not really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infiniti Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 the same thing happened to me when is was playing GTA3, i got like 50 packages, (took a LOT of time) and did a couple o rampages, and all the ambulance/taxi missions and though holy sh*t, id better svae, man that would suck if it froze, as i was flying back to my save point in the dodo (BEST MEANS OF TRANSPORT) i hit some thing and it spun out and froze now i save like every half hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 damn dude, that sucks. All i can tell you is that you had your ps2 on for too long.

I use to have one and it couldnt even read blue disc's, so i bought a newer model. But yeah man, you gotta let your ps2 cool down Not true... Every version of the PS2 ever released is build to be on 24/7/365 ... I have had mine on for a week (I have the very first version) and it ran fine without lacking functionality... Although, this was true for the PSX wich could burn down if on for too long... Lance, that really sucks... My game did the same thing while loading the Ocean View, I was about to save after the pizza-boy mission and PCJ Playground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyMothersMySister Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I can honestly say my ps2 would have gone through the window without a doubt!! Looks like you will have to trawl though agaion but making sure to save regularly this time though... Good luck!!

Window Licker Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Ha! Ha! Ha! You have to save once in awhile. I make a point of doing it often so I don't lose a couple of hundred kills. I've frozen a lot of times. That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggressor27 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I know how you feel. It kinda kills the experience when you go through all of that then are given a choice of doing it again or just saying "f*** it! " Not that there's anything wrong with replaying GTA, but A) you put a lot into getting 100%, and B) Replay doesn't involve doing the same missions over and over consecutively(sp) within a week. I outta slap you with my cyber glove for not saving! But give it a while, get off GTAVC for a bit, then get back on. That old spark will re-kindle.
