I am slower than a great-grandmother shitting tacks, but I have FINALLY finished the plot of this game.

at 61% completion, I was amazed at how simple the final mission was. For missions like "the heist" where it took 4, 5, sometimes 10 times before I got the heist run, only to have myself blown out of the water by the feds.

It might have been easy partially because I had myself the gatling gun and just cut through everyone in seconds, along with a tremendous bank account due to several RL months of hoarding money, trying ot find the last property/missiont hat would cause Sonny to come down.

This game was so much fun to play, yet so aggravating sometimes in trying to find the plot line.

Despite finishing it, there are some things I still want to do in the game:

How do I "hold up" the pizza places, and other stores?

Are all the cars you get at Sunshine Autos due to missions Unique?

These are the only two things that come to me right now, but I know there are more...

Anyone know of any plans for a GTA4, or another Part 3 spin off in the works?

CyCo PL · 10-19-2003, 11:42 PM

Lots of people have said that the next GTA game will be called "San Andreas", because the first GTA game had three cities:

Liberty City
Vice City
San Andreas

So, I think the rumor is pretty well founded... But I have no idea whatsoever what the theme of the game would be like. I think it would be pretty cool if it took place in the 60's or something, but I think it would be super super cool if they made a sci-fi GTA game, with hovercars and stuff.

But about being slow, don't worry about it.

I beat vice city a few months back, but I only beat GTA3 for the first time a couple days ago. I found GTA3 to be WAY harder than vice city, and longer also. But overall, I liked Vice City more.

Dude you're gonna be mad.. heh.. Sushine autos makes a TON of money after you complete all the cars.. On top of that it has 5 cars inside the shop for you to drive.. including a bloodring banger...

To hold up a store, you have to target the clerk. Point your target reticule over the clerks face and use the button you have set as the aiming button. I've been playing it on the pc so my aim button is the delete key. The longer you aim at the clerk, the more money he puts down.

To hold up a shop you'll need a gun. The Python you received
for collecting Hidden Packages is perfect. Take it, then work your
way through the list of shops below. To knock off a shop, simply walk
inside and aim at the employee behind the counter by holding down R1.
Do not stand in the pink glow, if there is one.

Got this from an faq. So if you are using the Playstation the R1 is the button for you to aim. Check out http://www.gamefaqs.com Just do a search for Grand Theft Auto Vice City. They have tons of faq's on the game. I beat it and now I've restarted and trying to get the 100%. One thing though on the cab missions. I've picked up and dropped off over 100 cab fares but I cant figure out if the cab will jump or if I completed the mission.

Um Aim Key? I thought you simply pulled out the gun and faced the Clerk?

that's for the consolosers.

just aim at the guy till he drops all his money and then pop him. only one star will appear and u should be to get rid of it.

make sure u pop him with a powerful gun, otherwise he'll be alive enough to tip the cops.(and 2 stars)

BigGov · 10-20-2003, 03:58 PM

Actually the stars go up the longer you point the gun at him. You can get 3 pretty quick.

Frozen North · 10-21-2003, 06:26 PM

The last time I played, I had saved up approx. $98,000,000 or whatever just under the limit is after playing vigilante in the Hunter for a long time.

I have to agree with TinniT, the last mission was pretty easy compared to some of the other things I had to do.

Grondar · 10-21-2003, 06:38 PM

I was surprised the game ended at 51% for me.. Actually a little letdown, because I figured it would be a lot closer to 100% before I beat the main storyline.

Now I don't really have any incentive to keep playing the game, and that is unfortunate, because it is really fun, with some guidance..

Good game though, no doubt.

Tommy learned to talk for Vice City. Ideally for the next game he can learn to swim, or at least tread water.

BigGov · 10-21-2003, 07:19 PM

There are some incentives. There are little hidden things throughout the game, some hard unique jumps you keep trying until you get right (and you don't mind trying because they're so fun just to watch), and for me, I always try to create a goal for a trick of some kind. For Vice City my goal has been to pull off a 360 backflip, a virtually impossible stunt because Tommy can't lean back all the way, so I finally found in the western most island there is one jump where the peak of the jump skims a roof. So, after about 500 tries, I finally pull it off, but nail a building and don't land it, another 500 tries, I actually land it and ride off, and I've never been able to do it again.

If any of you have the PC version of GTA or VC, there is a pretty nice mod/hack to play multiplayer at http://www.mtavc.com . I run windows ME on this box though, and it only seems to work on 2k/NT/XP boxes at the moment. Check it out, it's pretty fun. Even if you don't like that, there are links to some other cool single player mods there that can keep you busy, add new missions, for a long while.
