I forgot just what a mess traveling the islands becomes with all the gangs

[Monday-Nitro]

I am really glad they got rid of this for future ones. Getting the mafia sentinal for that mission is hell, or even just going back to get a package you missed. Portland becomes pretty much a no go zone by the time you unlock shoreside. Was stocking up on ammo at ammunation before a mission and just kept getting dragged out of the car by yardies. It got irritating fast.

That's why I'm doing EVERY side mission and tasks before continuing with the main story.

if there was a way to get rid of gang hostility that would be so useful

There is a text file that holds all the settings, you can turn down the hostility or set it to zero. Not sure which parameter it is though, but there are guides around.

Getting the Mafia Sentinel, oh boy. I decided to go to Harwood, circle around Saint Marks and jack one of the Sentinels at Salvatore his mansion and drive back the way I came.

GTA 3 had a cheat disc for PS2 with a gangs ignore you code.
I remember it worked well and save files were not corrupted.
The gang attack are overdone and with no way provided to reduce or end the attacks.

If you're on PC you can use mini-commander to notably make the gangs no longer hostile in game.

I used to keep a specific savegame on the side so I could freeroam in vanilla as peacefully as possible. With Shoreside unlocked but before the Yakuza and Yardies hate you. And another save in the beginning with a peaceful Portland.

Yakuza don't hate you

I looked it up, guess you're right. For some reason I was convinced they started hating you after the mission where you kill their boss (even though it's supposed to look like it wasn't you)

[RussianBoy]

I remember that, what a nightmare.

I don't get it, the missions are really good, but there's nothing much to see or explore in free roam, besides looking for hidden packages and body Armor/guns. Atleast vice City had stunt jumps.

But no bikes. Stunt jumps without bikes suck.
