Vice City

[Rongi]

Ok, I've been as sick as a dog lately due to the snow and the sub-zero temperature and me being an idiot and running around constantly without a hat or proper snow attire. So lately all I've been doing is drinking soup, watching dvds I bought months ago and have yet to watch, and playing GTA: VC. And today I just beat Keep Your Friends Close...

But right now I'm only 57% done with the game, so my question is, what happens when you get 100%? Do you get another ending? If so, don't tell me what it is :(

[liquidstatik]

I dont think so. The ending video is for the main game. To get 100 you have to beat all the side stuff and collect all the packages, which really aren't a main part of the game. So I doubt beating all of them will get you anything extra.

[Rongi]

Oh I see

Right now I'm just doing side crap like taxi driving and I just completed the car show room asset where you steal cars and you get rewarded with special cars, like the sandking :o

[liquidstatik]

I never could beat some of the side missions. A lot of them are harder than the actual game. :(

[executioneer]

if you get 100% you get a helicopter with machine guns and a rocket launcher like an apache :/

-willie

[Rongi]

Yeah, these packages are getting really hard to find now :(.

[liquidstatik]

Yeah. I got tired of looking for them. The timed missions are pretty hard, too.

[Rongi]

if you get 100% you get a helicopter with machine guns and a rocket launcher like an apache :/

I heard you get infinate ammo and a t-shirt that says "I beat Vice City and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!" too :(

[liquidstatik]

if you get 100% you get a helicopter with machine guns and a rocket launcher like an apache :/

-willie

Have you actually gotten that far? :eek

[Ninjavenom]

After obtaining 100% you are supposedly also awarded with infinite ammo and the ability to hire a few goons to follow you around.

[Rongi]

The goons thing kinda sounds cool, but unnecessary

[liquidstatik]

Seems like they'd get in the way. :/

[executioneer]

i haven't got that far but i've heard :( I should really make my cousin give it back b/c the only person who plays it at his house is the 4-year-old :rolleyes

-willie

[James]

When you get 100%, you get a Frankie outfit, which is a T-Shirt that reads "I beat Vice City, and all I got was thi lousy T-shirt," infinite ammo that kills in one hit, and a couple gang members who follow you. However, they only attack people that you've attacked. And since you kill everyone with one hit, it's stupid.

[Rongi]

I'll try and get 100% anyway. It's not like I have much else to do :/

[executioneer]

ps if you use cheats, like EVER, it will make it so oyu can't get 100% :(

-willie

[Rongi]

You're fucking KIDDING me :(

I used the tank cheat once but I didn't save it :(

So does it matter :( ? ?? ?? ??

[executioneer]

if you didn't save it shouldn't be a problem, but i've seen some people say that it was so i dunno :/
i don't see how it COULD though, if you didn't save it shouldn't be able to remember :/

-willie

[Rongi]

whew :(

I only used the tank cheat because I was angry at the game for being hard >:.

[executioneer]

did you know you can do a super turbo boost on the tank by shooting the cannon backwards constantly :eek

did you know that if you do thsi with the "flying cars" cheat on you can actually fly the tank all over the place, not just for 8 seconds or whatever either, but actually up in the SKY

-willie

[Rongi]

yeah i tried that 8)

but when i did it on the ground i flew into the water lol :(

[executioneer]

well you have to put on the "cars float" cheat too :lol

-willie

[Rongi]

one time i put that cheat on once and i picked up a hooker and brought her into the ocean and when we were done she couldn't leave :lol

[Rongi]

Ps fuck anyone who says this game is overrated. it's one of the funnest games I've played in a while >:

[Comrade Rocket]

I was able to get the appache without getting 100%. I also cheated like a mofo.

All you have to do is once you beat the game, get the police uniform. Then get in a helicopter, doesn't matter what kind, then head to the army base thats by the airport. The Appache is near the edge. You should be able to see it from far away.

I don't know about the shirt, but that sounds kinda lame for beating the entire game.

[executioneer]

oh yeah i forgot about that :eek

-willie

[Mr. Vagiclean]

Oh yeah, you can also rob stores. Probably not necessary but fun too do with your Jason mask on.

Go up to a store clerk that usually stands behind the counter, hold down the auto aim button with your pistol drawn out (cause it just looks fucking cool :) ). You will start noticing a pile of money appearing near you or your money count increasing. Hold it for more money, but the amount is limited and the cops wants you dead and deader the longer you stay robbing the store man.

And that apache is called Brown Thunder i think... I've never gotten all 100 secret packages (sold before i knew about this), but i heard if you do get em all, the apache in the army base will ALWAYS be there and the soldiers occupying that area will not turn hostile. Or may be the thing gets delivered to your mansion :/ not sure

[executioneer]

you reall y ened to learn to read, he said they don't turn hostile if you have a cop outfit on :/

-willie

[Mr. Vagiclean]

but putting on a pig costume whenever you want a free military chopper? :/ I rather strap on my windbreakers and look fascinating.

[thebiggameover]

when you get 100%, the apache thing shows up at the [bad spelling]machion[bad spelling] i forgot if its 80 or 90%, but that gives you a normal [bad spelling]hillcoptor[bad spelling] with a gun on it, but no rockets...

[executioneer]

wow you REALLY can't spell :lol

at least you can acknowledge it unlike SOME people :rolleyes

-willie

[DamnthatDavid]

the apache in the army base will ALWAYS be there and the soldiers occupying that area will not turn hostile. Or may be the thing gets delivered to your mansion not sure

The Hunter or "Apache" will appear on the West Island, up north on the turn, after obtaining all 100 packages.

I enjoyed the cars in GTA3 more then VC. And the Dodo, now that thing took mastery to fly. Managed to keep it in the air easily for 15 something minutes, then I got bored, and tried to fly a loop d'loop around the bridge. Hit an invisible wall, crashed and burned.

[timrpgland]

I have been playing VC lately as well. I'm at 95% on my main continue. Will be getting the ol 100% soon.


I will post my stat sheet after 100% is accomplished. No cheating involved either.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I just started over yesterday because I saw this topic. I think I'm like 11% done. :(

[timrpgland]

I beat it the first couple weeks it came out and got some extras but never got the 100%. A week ago I decided to get on the ball. Also started a new continue just to play the missions again but that will have to wait until 100% is achieved. I did all the jumps the other night. Luckily I didn't have the jump glitch.

[Cap'n Crunch]

What's the jump glitch? I never heard of it.

[timrpgland]

I guess sometimes something happens when it goes to slow mo then into realtime and it doesn't register the jump no matter how many times you do it. I've only heard people talk about it, never actually seen it so I'm not really sure what happens.

[Rongi]

One jump I can't get is that fucking surf jump. You know that sign by the airport that has a surfer on it? How the fuck do you do that one?

[timrpgland]

You gotta lineup way back (think there was a parking lot or whatever that you can lineup from) zip through there and hit the small wooden ramp that connects the ground to the jump and keep blasting. I used the PCJ 600. You don't have to jump over anything, just land on top of the terminal.

[Bennett]

how do you do the show room asset? Do you just have to win all the races? or are there actually missions there?

I'm stuck at a point where I'm not getting any new missions so I'm bored as fuck running around finding packages and crap. those races are hard as hell too.

[timrpgland]

You have to collect everything from the garage lists there. Also should place 1st in every race to get it totally completed. I believe that was all you needed to at Sunshine Autos. It generates 9000 after it is totally finished.

There are also vehicle missions if you haven't done those (dirtbike, landstalker, stallion and pcj 600. RC missions and Sparrow missions as well.

The sea sparrow is cool. The ultimate pirate machine. Now at least I don't have to worry about whether or not my helicopter will be on the roof. I also tossed a regular sparrow in that garage next to ammunation in the west part but it is a pain to get in and out.

[UtterParadox]

The complete list of what you get for 100%:

- 200 maximum health
- 200 maximum armor
- Any car you drive takes twice as much damage to destroy
- Infinite ammo, the "Frankie" outfit, and optional bodyguards as mentioned

And no, I'm not there yet... I'm stuck on the "Death Row" mission. Damn it.

[drunkbrigade]

I almost quit playing V.C. before I found out you hafta spend money looking at blocky strippers in the pole position club to actually "own" it. :/

[timrpgland]

I can't wait for the instant gang :)

Too bad I heard they are retarded. On 2 they actually were somewhat into it until someone ran them all over in one swipe (used to play LAN GTA2 matches, damn fun) :)

[James]

The hardest jump was the one where you have to jump off the ramp, over the street, and hit the side of the Police station. Almost never registers.

For things like packages and rampages, I would print off lists from GameFAQs, then check them off whenever I found one. That way, I wouldn't be trying to find the last one or two, not knowing what ones I already got. It helps out a lot.

[timrpgland]

I did all the jumps with the pcj 600. Yeah that one was pretty tough. Took several times. That stupid tree.

On a side note, what is everyones favorite car in VC(not bike)?

I like the Stinger the best.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I like the Banshee. I don't know why, but I like cars with the back straight on them and not curved. :(

[Mr. Vagiclean]

That special red-white striped car from the Sunshine Auto when you finally own it... It feels like one of those 70s diesel cars :rock


Does anyone know the accurate number of firetruck missions to do in order to be fireproof? :/ . I remember it to be around 50+...

[Gurlugon]

I had been playing this on my Xbox for a day or two, but then CounterStrike done gone gotten ahold of me.

All your answers should be on GameFAQs.

[timrpgland]

You have to get 12 on the firetruck missions. pretty easy

[Rongi]

The sandking

I got a thing for monster trucks :(

I just did the vigilante mission with a hunter and i got all the way up to level 29.

I could have got higher but I was getting a little bored of it.

[timrpgland]

Yeah I think I just quit after getting to 12. Vigilante missions is a good way to make money though. The real pain was the paramedic missions. The best place I found to do it was in the east island's hospital in the south westish part. Once you get 12 on that, it just says mission complete and doesn't let you continue like vigilante and firetruck missions do.

Anyway I'm at 98% done. Few more things to find and I am done.

[The Unseen]

I PLAY THIS GAME AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE :)

[timrpgland]

All I have left to do is find 2 hidden packages I'm missing. I went through a list even with pics but of course it's almost impossible to know which ones I got already. So I decided to start over. At about 20% (only missions) so that now I can go through and collect the packages here with actually knowing which ones I need/have or switch between continues to check on packages. Either way, I'm going to get 100%.

I finally messed with some wheelie action. Got 356 seconds on the Sanchez and could have gone forever, just fucked up. Will beat my time tonight probably. It's pretty easy. I think James posted his wheelie time, what did you get? I'll get past 500 seconds tonight.

[Rongi]

How do you do a wheelie? Whenever I try I get flipped off my motorcycle :(

I'm too hard headed to get a list at game faqs. The last time I used anything there was like 2 years ago. I never use gamefaqs because I heard if you keep using guides you'll never get better at the games you play :/

I still haven't finished the paramedics mission. I swear to god, the racing missions at the used car dealership are easier. I finished all of them with the hotring racer, so it was easy as pie. I also finished the pizzaboy missions.

[executioneer]

you need to be on the Sanchez to do wheelies :(

-willie

[Rongi]

Do you just push down on the analog stick :/?

[James]

To do wheelies, you start off in a full-stop position. Then, while holding back, you hit the gas just enough to get the wheel up. You need to get it a good distance off the ground. Then you just keep tapping the gas while holding back. It works for most of the motorcycles.

The Sanchez, however, has the best balance. It'll stay off the front wheel for a long long time, and you can just lightly hold down the gas to drive around. I don't remember what my time is, but I know if I cared, I could beat it.

Paramedic missions aren't too hard, once you get the science down. There's one hospital that's ideal, but I can't remember the location of it. I think it's near the strip mall (not the mall you go in, but the mini-mall place). This is the best, because a lot of patients will be on the beach, which is a nice open area. Basically, at the start of each mission level, check your map. Get a good idea of where each patient is, and come up with the best routes to pick them up. Time isn't wasted when you pause and bring up the map, and it's a lot better than blindly driving toward yellow dots on the radar. Once I started doing that, the missions became incredibly easy (so long as you don't get a level 2 wanted rating, or flip/crash your ride).

[Supafly345]

This game is probably the only game I have ever had an obsession with. After playing it for nearly a year, I still play it weekly.

I play it way too much. How much too much? I am at 99% completion without documented help. Although I have played through it countless times to get to this point.
I can't find the last jump. :frownface

I mastered the art of wheelies though. To maintain a good wheelie you need to learn how to turn in one. A combonation of weight and gas balence shifting is needed for this. After enought practice I can pull off wheelies with every bike (stay in wheelie for 5 sec or more) including the faggio and the hogs. The best place to get a long wheelie is in the airport where you can take a wide turn from the landing strip to the lane that leads to the jump into the street. I don't suggest the sanches because it is too light and a small mistake moves it too much, use the pcj for better stability. To get some practice doing wheelies, do them in side-view perspective so you can tell how high your wheel is, and manage on keeping a wheelie based on speed not weight at first. Go on from there.

[timrpgland]

That's the same hospital I was talking about James. Near Washington Mall in the south east. It isn't too bad from there but the paramedic missions are the worst out of the emergency vehicles by far. Time doesn't gather and sometimes you get fucked. Only took one try at the south east hospital but I tryed at the north west one too long. The problem with the hospital north west (schuman or something) is that patients will end up in the pizza place at least once almost no matter what. They seem impossible to get out of there.

Anyway, what was your wheelie time? The best place I found to do wheelies is from ammunation in the north west part and go all the way down to the docks, trying to master turning around from there. You don't have to go fast at all and can tap the gas and sometimes just hold back with no gas. You want to be going slow but not too slow that your front wheel falls.

[James]

I'd have to put my Vice City disc in and see, but I don't really feel like it. I don't think it was too long, though. I would say 10 minutes, but then I'd probably put my disc in and see it was less.

For the most part, I just used the Sanchez at a long, straight strip of road. I think I used the area with the little grass islands between the lanes.
