I have it but 4 the ps2 i own at it im almost done every single mission.
I really like flying around the military base in my hydra or the jumbo (only if i had a screen shot of it)-100x bigger then cj and it cannot fit inside your airplane hanger its 5x bigger then it! well.. i tell you never fly over the military base or marine base or ur about to killed by a 98% ratio lol (happens) and always start gang wars with a jet pack :D
They say there is a glitch but i never did it yet... you fly out of the map 4 5hrs in a a plane (forgot name) and when you look the whole maps is covered with gangs!!
Well thats all the info i have 4 u :p
And ask me if you want to know how the game ends if you didnt do it already :P
and i would also have 100 crazy screen shots to fyre :D but to bad i cant show them :( Fyre or sim get a gang member to take a picture of you so i know how u look :p
I think I need to reinstate the spoiler tag :P
GTA:SA is indeed awesome. I have yet to take any pictures, but overall the game impresses me. :)
Great pictures! What's screenshot key? Printscreen? ;)

bah noboy said the price
My local CompUSA is advertising it for $20 off! Gah! :sad:
Here's two shots. First one is a minivan taking on my highly explosive trucker, and the second one is of Catalina running quickly away from a crashed car as it explodes.

Heres more pictures by me : The first is a Low rider made by me a green convertiable with wire wheels, looks awsome. number two is what happens when you dive your monster truck off the mountian and land in traffic, monster truck not it the picture its off to the left. and 3 is me peforming a PERFECT Drift through traffic with a truck (using NOS) at the moment this was shot i was going so fast i had to have SOMEONE ELSE hit the key, i dont touch the red car at all, wish i could record it, its pretty fun.
-FyRE-
... It saves like the last 15 or some seconds of gameplay in an instant replay. Least it did in VC for the PC. Just FRAPS that.

This game is evil! EVIL! It sucks the EA staff away from doing their jobs!!

06-16-2005, 02:43 PM
wow... fyre how did you get that much money i dont have that money and i beat the game! lol
Have you been using money cheats? lol
/me needs to find replay key... and screenshot key... <_<
Lagger
06-18-2005, 08:54 AM
yeah well it said his money beat 1 million and i only have 400,000 :(
(never fly over military base in island 3 instant death :p)
xFyREBALLx
06-18-2005, 09:15 PM
yeah im drifting with a trainer. the money was part of the save game im using to have all city access (im also playing through the game. well i was reading my "Prima" guide and it said there was a "mystery weapon" well i found it and lol its kinda funny.
WARNING___________________SKIP THIS IF YOUR OFFENDED EASY.
heres the pics. First is me standing in the police station.
second is me asking this nice fellow for a ride (using my weapons of course) :P
Lagger
06-19-2005, 09:25 AM
lmao u can find the *mystery weapon* In the police showers or 1 misson 4 the casino :p
has any1 seen seen a barber shop with the person giving a green mohawk? so Cj can almost be pure green :p
and can u send pictures u took from gta to ur computer?
Yeah, mystery weapon is pretty well known ;). Also good to give to girlfriends in place of flowers when going on a date with them.
And flying over the base isn't instant death. Take a fighter jet, fly it over, dogfight with the planes that chase you. If you need to, look behind you to dodge the heat seekers.
Albrtd3
06-23-2005, 05:41 PM
The green mohawk barbershop is near the end of the first place(grove st) near the place where you can, "DDR your car". Also, if you ride your bike and you do a drive-by on another person using a bike, you will stick it in thier ear and they will die... :)

Only found one of those jets so far, fortunately it's in my hanger now, but I'd like a respawnable one :(

All I'll say is: In due time. For as much as you've played I'm surprised you haven't uh...
You'll find out.
Thanks for not spoiling the specifics, I look forward to being pleasantly surprised! :)

i wish i could take pics :(
The spawn point is where I thought it should be, though for me the spawning is erratic. I have to walk away and walk back when it does not spawn, which only happens when I manage to crash the previous jet.
Here are some shots once I found where the tank spawns (the tank is great for gang/turf wars!) :smile:

lol sim thats the exact place where I put my tank :D
and my fav thing to use in gang wars is.. a jetpack!! :lol:
They own specialy when the people (gangs) start running away out of the (area) oh and i would also use a hunter :D (which is almost immpossible to get considdering that you have to get all gold medels in airplane/helicoper/parachute school) :D
and overall nice pics sim (createing chaos for the city) :p

Well, once you get out of grove street... Isn't that when you can't fight gangwars anymore? I have GTA:SA for the PS2 but once I got the place where you get the garage the game got kind of boring there.
temasongu
06-30-2005, 04:57 AM
I like how the maps are much bigger in this one. They also brought back the respect-o-meter, something they didn't have since GTA2. Also if you plan on buying the box set soundtrack just be careful because half of the songs in the game aren't on the soundtrack.

Lagger: After you drive the truck full of weed to that place and then you own a garage from the one that you won in the race.

Oh...
Fyre or Sim have you ever took a ride in the jumbo jet!
2x bigger then your airship holder thingy (can only ride if you beat game)
The jumbo jet / 747 is available as soon as you get to the top-right city's airport. It's available in a hanger that opens up when you stand near it (still amazed by the size).
Using the jetpack for gang wars is a neat idea, but I don't think it would give me enough protection from bullets.
I want to get a hunter as well, but getting all gold medals will make it more work then it's worth.

The jumbo jet was not ever there untill i beat the game but is very hard to fly :(
Yeah it does not give me and protection so i take off my jet pack take out my grenades and throw them somewhere :p
yeah so far i got all silver medels and got the stunt plane, got all gold medels in motercycle school, (ERG) all gold and 1 silver in boating school, (Sqello) all silver in driving school (ZR-350) :D
The jumbo jet isn't really hard to fly, it just takes a few turns to get it out of its hanger without damaging it (I think the jumbo jet is filled with some kind of terribly volatile substance that explodes at the slightest touch).
In any case, after carefully manuvering it out, it's not too bad. :)
I should work to unlock the stunt plane. Right now I only have the old school fighter plane and the new fighter jet. I just dont see how I didn't get all silvers at least, but oh well.
Lagger
07-04-2005, 03:50 AM
stunt planes not that bad it can do loops and make smoke from the bottem back of the plane (if u did not know :D) overall the stuntplane is good for stunts :p
I did not know about the smoke :D
I got bored the other day and decided to see what cheat options there were. Wow, there's a lot. My favorite so far is the flying cars one ;)
Lagger
07-06-2005, 03:34 AM
lol my fav cheat is... Lower Wanted lvl cheat! :D
Ill Probably get the game.:?

Aw sweet! I would love canada, but when I go down there, the people aren't very nice to me. Do they have a ban on GTA down there? In Maryland, America, they have a ban on GTA if a minor attemps to buy it or play it, they get a fine! God forbid if they actually try to imitate GTA! We have the highest rate of gun shootings in the US but do they go after the people doing the shootings? No! They go after gamers!
I am sorry for my rant, but I really needed to say that for my own mental bennifit :P

I don't think so, as for the Ban, it never got passed but now GTA has the AO rating, check the news provided by the almighty Zips.

What is the Ao rating???:confused:
Walrii
07-21-2005, 02:44 PM
AO = Adults Only. Which, I don't really understand. I thought that Walmart would only sell M (mature) games to people over (or equal to) 17 years of age. The AO rating means it can only be sold to people 18 years of age and older... Not that walmart would carry an AO game... but time will tell.
Lagger
07-21-2005, 04:03 PM
Oh we dont have AO games here i think Only M or R (highest) :)
i like the U.S. wal-mart Better cuz it has fruit and vegetables.
Albrtd3
07-21-2005, 05:32 PM
There is not to much age difference between AO and Mature which is what makes me mad.

I very much doubt this, though I'm not familiar with the laws of Canada.

CJ jumping off/skydiving off the tallest building in the game!!!
Please do not discuss warez (for one thing, it is illegal in US which is where The Archive is; and second, offtopic :P)
Lagger: I love the highway traffic in GTA: SA. Seems like those cars will stop for NOTHING. ;)

And for the highway your right! i go onto the highway someone hits me from behind than i have 50 or 60 cars on my tail :p (example. if it hits me it will follow me untill its out of site)
747 + Oncoming traffic = !/boom
Also effective on the highway are the collection of construction vehicles ;)

Why? just because he is a traitor and that you kill him? :p
And what is your favourite character?
Lagger, use the spoiler tag. <_<
Favorite character would have to be Woozie :D
Lagger
10-28-2005, 08:36 AM
Because it is not letting me quote what sim said so im just going to leave it at the last message sim talked about... lol
Sorry I dont know how to use the spolier tag (guess i should learn eh?)
I like the time when CJ and Woozie were playing black jack. And Woozie got a 42 than Woozie said damn I always win with the other guys… than he says damn CJ your just bad luck… than one of the guys working for Woozie says I got to chips Woozie says there fake. CJ said how did you know? Woozie says oh I just guessed. Cj go look at them for me CJ says oh I see the difference one has a dragon and one has some glass's and a walking stick (resembling Woozie) :lol: I found that little movie amusing :p
Got a picture also!
Ahh some body threw a jumbo jet at my airbase..! ;)
Lagger, that's a good scene. I enjoyed it too :)
Lagger
10-29-2005, 09:16 PM
Well in my game i went on the search for horseshoes! and i found them all! my luck is at 1000! but im not winning anything! but now there is a SMG and some remote bombs and a m4 spawning at the casino i guess that would got to do. :D
Nice :D
Of course, you can just go to the casino and play with max bets and reload when needed. Takes the excitement out of it, but sets you for the rest of the game for money ;)

Wow, I was playing this game for a little bit but I never got very far along the plot line... I kept getting distracted by mowing down pedestrians like in the older versions! :P All the stuff you can do in this is crazy.... Parachutes, 747s, jetpacks (were you kidding about jetpacks? cuz thats insane!) and all, it's crizazy! I'm gonna hafta lose a lot more of my life to this game I guess... Never would have thought you could base-jump in GTA! :D
Lagger
11-01-2005, 03:37 PM
Well i changed my favourite character my new favourite character is.. Mike Toreno :D he is pretty funny to..:p
Oh yes. Be sure to keep playing through the game, it just keeps getting better and better. I don't want to ruin the surprises :D
Lagger
11-05-2005, 08:59 PM
Well i was playing GTA SA online and it was pretty fun some new air planes ... one as big as the jumbo jet :D and plus there invincable! :p
Has someone released a GTA:SA multiplayer patch yet?
rm_you
11-07-2005, 02:41 AM
wait... what? online??? who!? how!?!? which!?!??!! confused.... I didn't think it came with online-ness? Is that like the multi-theft auto thing for old GTA3? :P
That's what I'm thinking... I'd love to see a SA version. Since they use a common/similar base engine, I imagine the multiplayer plugin could be ported without rewriting the whole thing.
