Go to the gun store and shoot the guy there in the leg. Wait a sec until he pulls out his gun, then kill him. You can then swap your handgun for his combat pistol. You'll have a 2 star wanted level though, so quickly leave and lose the cops. --- Save for your doomed future <cite>a-c-a-b posted [p:966436616] in 12 years l...

DipDipDiver 07/08/22 5:58:56 PM #22:	Make sure to turn off auto-aim. It improves the game a lot, and that also applies to RDR and GTA V. Personally I have always enjoyed the driving physics in that game, it really feels like they designed everything around actually using analog controls. I think that's where it lost some people, because a lot of people just treat the gas and brake as buttons instead of analog controls with a whole range behind them. When you get good at it, you have so much control. Also the peds physics, while exaggerated, are leaps and bounds beyond the toned down physics in V. <cite>DipDipDiver posted [p:966437208] in 12 years l...

Southernfatman 07/08/22 7:09:37 PM #29:	Cool. Been thinking of replaying myself with all the recent talk here. Still say it's the best in terms of story, characters, setting, and atmosphere. Liberty City feels more alive. I still remember finally unlocking Algonquin (Manhattan) and driving there for the first time. Felt almost magical at the time.

Which was my frame of reference at the time. I really despised the controls, again within context. They were objectively good but not what I wanted from a GTA game. --- You know how fads are.

The expansions were much better but GTA V is when the fun, the customization, and having things to do post main story came back. --- doa-plus.com - We Press Forward. . .

I do remember it having the first instance of R's love of putting in tedious annoying details in the name of muh realizm though. It genuinely galled me that it had a fucking toll road that would give you a wanted level if you just drove through it. And for all the praise of the story, I just didn't like it. I didn't give a shit about Dimitri and was fuckin' mystified that he ended up being the main antagonist. The themes and story it wanted to tell was completely at odds with the gameplay. I remember one of the dates had Niko talk about his time as a child soldier and an admittedly well written and well delivered line: "It ruined me." Not said sadly, not said angrily, just said as a statement of fact. And it was beautiful and poignant and kind of ruined because the hood of my car was crumpled from the half dozen pedestrians I'd run down on the way to the diner. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?
