GTA3 Question

Makaveli

This affects how the game goes so I will stick it in a spoiler.

You know the way you can do the seperate missions like work for the Yardies and El Burro and all. Well I did the one with the yardies and the last mission is a set up and then they turn against you. This means yet another gang wants to kill you, but if you dont take the mission then there is no problem with them.

So my question is, should you really bother doing these side missions as they seem to make the game harder for you? Now I have the Mafia, the Cartel, El Diablos, the Triads and the Yardies after me, where it could have just been the mafia the triads and the cartel.

Also with the way things are going it would seem that soon enough there will be some sort of double cross with the Yakusa and then they will be after me too. But dont answer that, because I want to find out for myself.

I suppose if you totally want to complete the game you should do every mission, but I think I might just get it completed and then play it again and try and get all the extra features completed too.

Well anyway, what do the rest of you think about this?

KdjaCL

Well you can do it but,whatever you do eventually you have to complete 3 missions which make it extremely dificult.
i wont tell you but its going to get a lot harder:)
Im stuck on th elast mission on the 2nd level (if thats what it)
But i an actually enjoying trying it over and over agian

how do u progress onto the next part of the city? Is it just by doing jobs or is by getting more money? Cuz it was getting a certain amount of money in the first few GTA games?

DRakE

keep doing jobs, and making 1337 stunt bonuses

there's a class one on the bridge $15000 if you make it

suppafly

so its just after u get to a certain job u progress ot the next part of the city yeah?

Makaveli

To progress you have to complete the missions. Money doesnt factor in it. Well so far.
This one is more like a story in comparison to the other GTA's.
You do the main missions and they lead you on to the next island and then so on.
Supposedly after a certain point (I think it's just after you reach the third island) the missions become rock hard.

jaggeh

money is a factor for some missions, like bombing the ship on the first island, you need 100k to buy explosives....

Or instead of using guns to take out a car, getting a coach and ramming the car off the road

KdjaCL

Wasnt to impressed with it at 1st with all the crap that came with it.
But im hooked now 1 more mission and im on the final island.
I skipped a few by killing a certain guy on a car park roof never did any of his missions regretting it now ,a reason to play it again

Whats everyones fav car?
Mine is the police car for speed and toughness always have one in the garage.

I think the yakuza stinger is pretty good. I like the speed of the banshee, cheetah and inferno but when u pull a hand break turn they go around in a full circle. I like the coachs and securicar vans for doing does driving missions where u have to get the check points, cuz u can bust the other cars out of the way.

Zero

depends on the mission really as regards cars.

Banshee is by far the fastest car in the game. The Stinger, Cheetah and Infernus come in a close second. (The Yakuza stinger is actually slower than the standard stinger)

I robbed an FBI car and a tank and saved them into my garage, handy for some missions. the good thing with the FBI car is that it can take an awesome hiding before blowing up. That bulletproof patriot is the job for other missions that involve lots of twats shooting at you.

In general I prefer the banshee purely because it rocks.

and yeah, the control on the cheetah and infernus is pure pants, they are a horrible car at high speed.

The FBI cars look like a modified Kuruna. R all of the patriots bullet proof? if no, where do u get the bullet proof ones? Also where can u steal tanks from? The only way i know how to get them is to use the cheat. And then i just mess around with them.

DRakE

you can get a tank when you have 6 stars of a wanted level, tho get this high ad youu're almost already toast

btw, my fave xcar for all round is either the kuruma (speed and ok handling) or the Cabbie (nice speed and awesome handling )

all in all a gg

KdjaCL

Bullet proof patriot there is 2 of them
and a few other bullet proof cars.
When you go ona mission and youg et a car
drive salvatores wife let her die and park the car in your garage
do the checkpoint level in the patriot fail it and park it in your garage
and so forth
in the El Burro races if you block the other 3 cars in the race and try and flip one its bullet proof you can get a van and push it upside down to your garage.
Do some vigilante missions on the 2nd island and you get a bullet proof ice cream van

How do you know you only have to do one more mission?
I'm on the one where you have to collect the porn. Do I still have loads more to do?
This mission is wrecking my head, my car either goes on fire and I have to get out (usually in Cartel area so they kill me) or I end up driving off a cliff or something.

KdjaCL

I killled Kenji without doing any of his missions Auska is no longer highlighted Ray is finished too and have one more Donald Love mission
unless he has more than 3 missions.

Yeah I'm on the final island. A few cool missions.

For those who want a tank for their garage:
It's relatively simple, I took one on the second island. Walk out of your gaff and walk up to the top of the ramp and start causing ****e. When you are at the bottom of your ramp the new cops/fbi/army dont come. So basically cause a pile of hassle, get loads of stars then back off down the ramp, let the cops/fbi that are there try and come in. Keep your bazooka trained on the top of the ramp and you will get a good few FBI cars. I stood half-way up the ramp while on about 3 or 4 stars and they kept coming but I had the range to blow them up without completely doing myself in.
Once it hits 6 stars, back off down the ramp. There are a number of ways to trap the tank, but what I did was get in my car and back up towards the top of the ramp. The tank comes rumbling in pretty fast, belt down the ramp and pull in left beside your garage, hopping out with the bazooka ready. Blow up the few soldiers that hop out of the tank. Run over and rob it. park it in ure garage and save it. wallop.

The bulletproof patriot is got on a later mission, its not a great car as regards speed/handling but you might as well keep it for any drive-by missions later on, its well handy.

best car? The stinger is close on speed with the banshee but handles better. it isnt as tough as some others but overall with speed/handling/durability I think it's the best car. (Not the yqkuza stinger, the standard one). I still prefer the banshee for the insane speed tho.

Stinger is 4 wheel, has the same acceleration but 60mph(kmh?) slower speed then the banshee. Its also 500 kg lighter.

The third island will become availible soon but you will still be working off missions from the second one.

I got onto the third one today. The missions really are getting a lot harder.

suppafly

the last mission for love is weird. Where u just go into his place and then he not there and and so your finished with him. I'm on the last island aswell and the only place i have to go for missions is asuka cuz I finished the others. The one i'm on is where u have to go and find all of the cartels coffee stalls. but it doesn't even show u where they r! U have to go find them. I almost finished it the last go. About the cars, i think the infernus or and the other car that looks like a ferrari r the fastest, cuz i have been using them and the stinger and banshee for the jumps in the airport and the only too the can make the the double jump r the infernus and ferrari look-a-like. I also put on that (

chittychittybb

) flying cheat and was flying around in the air with a tank. It a mad laugh. Has anyones else done this. One last thing, does anybody have any tips on how to fly the Dodo plane cuz it can hardly get if off the ground and just barely make it over to staunton island when i fly of the run way, so any tips greatly appreciated!

Makaveli

I'm on that mission too. I got 7 stalls and then my car blew up and I was too close to it so I died.
I doubt that's the last Donald Love Mission in the game, there is still something like 20 missions to be completed from the 73 at the point we are at.
At the moment I have been looking for the secret packages, so far I have 51 out of 100, they are getting really difficult to find.

The Dodo can't fly. You should have guessed by its name

The dodo can fly.

Anybody know what a "BF Injection (Injector?)" is? I'm doing the job on the side in Shoreside where you collect the cars and stick them in the garage. I have the other 15 done this is the last one and I dont have a clue what the hell it is.

KdjaCL

"The BF injection appears on Hepburn heights, by El Burro phone. It appears
between 5:00 and 20:00 in the game's clock. Once you get it, it'll appear
randomly just like any other vehicle. This Is an excellent vehicle."

There you go

Makaveli

Nice one now I can get yet another bit of this game completed.
You would think that completing the main storyline would account for more than 50% but no.
I still have 15 missions left. 39 more packages to find. All the rampages to do. And a load of unique stunts to do aswell 14 I think.

It's a lot easier on the PC then the PS2

suppafly

I know its called the dodo and all but has anybody got it to fly a decent amount?
Also Is there a "collect all of the cars on the list" job in all 3 parts of the city? Cuz i've been doing the one in portland and am almost finished, just have to get the dodo and securicar. Securicar is proving quite hard to find, any tips on where to find it aside from getting one in a mission? Where r the other 2 "get all the cars on the list" jobs in shoresidevale and stauton island?
