I can’t drive and I can’t fight. I really just want to chill and make a living driving a cab and I’m ashamed of how much time I wasted looking for that purple suit so that I could ditch those ugly golf club clothes.
Sometimes I just walk around smacking random strangers in the street. The missions are work, the work I have to do in order to play. If I keep chugging at those missions I’ll open up a whole 'nother part of town. Oh yeah, I really want to know who set me up and took that money. Maybe watch the director guy make one of his “art” films.
And the 'ho deserved that bullet. I was waiting at the light when she climbed her skank ass in my car and started taking my money.
In my essay “GTA:Vice City and the downfall of American Motherhood” I posit that American children have lost their mothers to this insidious game. While the children beg to play “Reader Rabbit” and “Slaphappy Froggies.” Mom keeps saying 'Just five minutes. I am up to Level 8 Vigilante Mode. These MoFos are gonna go DOWN."
A generation is lost to chainsaws, motorcycles and Ray Liotta’s lilting voice.
This thread is more proof to my theories. They started by ignoring their children. Now, these Mothers are ignoring the laws of the SDMB. Posting an obvious Cafe Society thread in GD? What comes next? Full scale nudity and bank robberies, that’s what. This country is in for a violent shock, and it’s not coming from the middle east.
pat
ps:
Aren’t the dirtbikes so super cool. And the regular motorcyles VROOM VROOOM! I love them. Wait til you get to that second island and. Umm. This is a spoiler so close your eyes. HELICOPTERS!
Strange you mention it however, I’m a single 20’s something man and I got sorta bored with it. Save driving around while listening to Flock o Seagulls (which is now of my top ten fav. songs and it also has my co worker thretneing to spray me with bleach to “prove I’m not black”) the game sorta got old. I think it’s because the missions right now are too hard, and the Military is still pissed at me for stealing their tank.
I recently became a weed fan however. Mabye I oughta give it a go while doing the stuff
The Good Citizen bonus amused me for ages. The best part is that it gives you another 50 bucks for every single kick until the nasty criminal dissolves away.
The problem is, sometimes lots of onlookers run over to rubberneck, and you accidentally punch one of them, and a cop gets irritated.
My wife is doing the same thing as you, Biggirl. As a matter of fact, she’s driving people around in a bus right now. “This is so much fun,” she says. Good for her. :dubious: pats Mrs. 'Doom on the head
Sure, it’s only 5 bucks a pop, but it’s a living. Actually, she’s got the car dealership garages (provided by me) completely filled with a fleet of buses. We have a system worked out. I open up all the available areas, she does whatever the hell she wants.
You know, you could find a way to the other part of the city with a little creativity… try ramping motorcycles off of cars, over the barricades blocking the bridges. Also, there’s a cheat code that enables you to drive cars on water.
Or just chug away at those missions. How far are you?
Not that far. I just started playing yesterday (so maybe I will get bored like some males in their 20s). I just got the chip for the Colonel and killed the golf guy for Avery.
I’m so bad at the driving that I can never catch that pizza delivery guy. My son ( who is much further along than I am) has a house that he keeps a fleet of cars in. Me, I just jack a car, drive it 'till either I get to where I’m going or it’s ready to explode and then jack another when needed.
But. . . but. . . why the roll eyes? That’s the best part! I wanna ride the taxi and listen to all the radio stations (the talk stastions crack me up) and make enough money to buy cool things while listening to Automatic and that cute Spanish song about looking into your eyes and flying.
See, that’s where the “middle-aged” part comes in-- it’s the soundtrack of my youth.
I’ve heard tell that they are releasing VC soundtracks. One for each radio station. I’m not clear if they have already been released or are about to be released.
Rockstar Games is gonna get some more of my money.
I had to get some of the cheat codes from gamefaqs.com for some parts that take too long to get through… Its fun being able to spawn that Rhino tank, but a few times when I did that it fell right on top of me.
Uhm, well, perhaps you should make an arrangement with your son, like I have with m’wife. 'Cuz when you get to to missions with Diaz (the coke-head), well, you get the drift…
And I think the soundtracks are already out, as separate volumes, or a box set. There’s a Greatest Hits collection, too.
Yes, but… you can get '80s music anywhere. And there are plenty of games where you can just go around killing people. It’s the part where you go around killing people with 99 Luftballoons blasting out of your stereo that makes this game a truly metaphysical experience.
