plus selling all those would have been a huge fuckin pain in the ass haah
Actually it's like who has the dough, because they don't.
Only the Gun Runners. Each bar is work 8K.
So that is how I funded all the GRA DLC.
The trick is to avoid the turrets, even in stealth or disabled they see you.
The blue barrier goes up on any of the entrances to the exit.
I take the far one, near the turrets, not the one the old man comes down from.
Then I press up against and toss the *entire* gold bars up against the barrier. It falls as one bar.
Now you are light, not overencumbered.
You have like one minute to run through the exploding areas to get back to the exit.
Then, run over to where you dropped the bars now inside, and make it overencumbered
to the elevator back to where the suite is inside of the Casino. Go. Go. Go. It's a time thing.
It takes a few tries, but when you make it, you are free, then you just walk out.
Back into the Villa, grab your garbage can stash, and out to the bunker. Simple right?
Takes a few tries but well worth it. 5 gold bars my first play through. So yeah.
Then after, I always did the trick. It's too easy to pass up all those millions.
Anyway, I hate New Vegas so I stay with Fallout 3. It is the best game evar.
But your screens make me wanna do New Vegas again some day.

Lovely and thorough as always, Synch.
Started a brand new file in III, and it's like I played it yesterday. I remember all the driving shortcuts, where all the hidden packages are, and it's freaky getting used to the older controls. It's funny Synch mentioned the R3 missions, one of the first things I did was a few taxi missions to get reacquainted, and some ambulance missions...already collected 10 hidden packages without looking at a single map. Rampages next, the ones in III are my favourite. Remember the hobos with molotovs?
Big 'n veiny FTW.
Holy Quacamole.......you RULE!!!!
Get rid of that man and make me your own.
Sorry I meant...need any maps?

I imagine we'll have RLS and Julio G back for the rap station. For those of you who don't know, Julio G isn't a character R* made up, he's an actual DJ who's been working in LA for nearly 30 years. He is iconic when it comes to rap DJ's.
Good point. I remember him vaguely from when I lived in LA.
I see a new line up, more of a sampling of the current house/techno guys
emerging out of Santa Monica, similar to the story of the Crystal Method.
Although those two guys actually moved from Las Vegas to Glendale which is near Burbank.
Could be anyone's guess who the music line up will be as far as new emerging acts.
Would be good to have the old school radio stations featuring old hip hop, reggae, roots, rap, funk.
Then new rap, and any new rock, if there is such a thing.

III might be kind of boring to play nowadays
...True, but there is some objectives in that game that many still haven't ever beaten.
I had to do it all, for 100% completion on PS2 and PC, so I can say...
If you want a taste of the future games and how easy they can be, play the hardest.
GTAIII has the most difficult R3 missions ever.
Paramedic - Most difficult ever, of any GTA game. The reward makes it worthwhile.
This mission alone is ten times harder than any of the storyline missions.
Vigilante - Most difficult ever, of any GTA game. Done across 3 islands worth.
Firefighter - Difficult but not frustrating like Vice City. Again, needs to be done across 3 islands worth.
Taxi - Pretty easy, but stay the course and finish.
Other than that, it is the Rampages.
10 times harder than Vice City. These take skill, and you will want to prepare.
Have full health (125) and Armor, and save before each one.
Full health is after Paramedic or just basic 100% health, but grab a hooker. She gives the extra 25%.
Hey - it works, just go with it. Kill her, drop her off, whatever. It helps to have the 125%.
Especially against certain gangs. It's the weapons that suck, not you. Make sure you have the full armor.
Also some of the RPG Rampages can fail due to vehicles spawning - this will continue in Vice City.
Get used to it, and master your craft Medieval Teabagger Wench.
A trick for the St.Marks Mafia rampage is - you can use a Rhino tank.
That is, if you have followed your EV Crane missions, which many ignore.
Finally, the off-road challenges look fun, but can be a real fucking bitch.
It looks like you can't climb that mountain, but you can. They really tax you here.
Again, master your craft girl. You can do it. Best of luck to you. Let us know if you need help.
I'm telling you the 100% of doing things is fullfilling during missions, with your tools.
Not in the end as a reward, really, but you will gain all the weapons, health icons,
armor icons, and police bribes at your safe houses, making rampages and other challenges
somewhat easier. In the end, I just do everything as early as possible except the rampages.
Remember, in this game, gangs hold a grudge, so you want to do everything on the first island
as much as possible because once you leave, it is difficult to some back because they all hate you.
Also I made maps of the hidden packages if you want, just ask.
But yeah, it's an old game and looks kind of funky. Still - the classic.
Also mind the PS2 glitch about the Purple Nines. It's an easy fix, but mind it all the same.
http://www.gamefaqs....-iii/faqs/18503
The NInes will not appear otherwise, and you can not do the last mission against them. (They're gone)
After that, Vice City and §an Andreas. Easy in comparison.

D-O's screenshots are the shit.
<3
Still can't get all that back to the mojave.
Wha?
I slow walked the 10,000 lbs including all gold bars, out the villa,
to the area where you were originally gassed. You now have a new
radio message from Christine there. Stashed everything in the bunker,
fast travelled back home, emptied out. Then repeated a few times.
Shit funded every weapon for the GRA DLC.
Cool thing you can now use that vending machine in the bunker to exchange smokes,
clothes, anything you got a voucher for. Dude, seriously.
Oh...lol
So its come down to lol. L0L.
Just keep making those sweet screens.
Do what you dio.
-
D-O's screenshots are the shit.
Yeah they are.
But you are the shit as well Warlord.
Thanks for talking me into taking my girl into the Vault buck naked. Base weight.
That distracted the old man, who then sported wood, so I could escape with all the gold bars.

Holorifle
knifespear
superheated cosmic knife
bearfist
assassin suit
reinforced seirra madre armour and helmet
Dean's Tux
Vera's Dress (found 2, lol. Just kept one)
Elijah's Robe (had one in that bunker too, kinda pissed me off but i guess it doesnt weigh a lot)
5 gold bars,
And couldnt carry another bar so I think I had some weapon repair kits to fill up my capacity
next play through Ill probably go home naked carrying a shit load of gold bars
also traded in my casino chips for pre war money. So had about 4500 we bar bills which were worth a fucking lot too. Should have done an ass load of gambling. Realized that changing to pre war moned makes the chips worth 10 times as much and the money doesnt add weight.
Not that it matters, I had 80 grand going into the DLC.
I left the vault with all the gold bars last two plays.
All the rare items were stashed in the Villa trashcans.
-
I think 2nd trailer will not show us any new relevant fact, probably some new places, farms, forests and and a small town, but no story line. Probably we'll have to wait until 3rd trailer to get some "whats going on...".
Just got the email from R* about the new trailer release next week.
I'll be on vacation but don't forget how bad that dude looks with the rot.
The 2nd trailer for previous games has almost always been more exciting than the first.
For the 2nd trailer of §an Andreas, I realized they cut it on Avid it was so tight. Really tight.
Really exciting, really cool, and it showed LOTS of game play details, maybe not story, but just saying.
Yes, the third will probably be back to storyline details...but don't discount number 2 until we see it.
I think it's going to be awesome.
-
Yes please heed the bOnEs warning.
As I mentioned before, use one of the central plaza fountain garbage cans for stash.
Then save again, if near the end.
You'll want a save before the game end.
That way you can still get to all the areas for the rare items.....
and the final trick as I mentioned before...
-
Thanks those were *awesome* DuP!Especially the Crazy Storm and Flood mods.
-
but the actual name Vespucci Canals most likely corresponds to Venice.
Of course but that's the foreground. With everything from real life squashed together things are much more close in LS than LA which is why Koreatown is right down the road from Venice in GTA V.
Yep, thanks Fitty.
Will be interesting to see how long the version of Venice Blvd runs in the game.
It is surprisingingly long in real life. Same for Willshire and La Brea, will be cool to see.
Squashed in the GTA universe.... I remember people asking me after playing §an Andreas,
"Can you really drive from SF to LA in a few hours?" L0L.
Back then I held the record amongst friends at around 6.5 hours real time, coastal less traffic.
Usually it seems a whole day around 8 hours.
-
Thanks for those DuP.Might have located some things in the Vespucci Canal pic:
5900 Wilshire on the left and possibly the La Brea Tar pits or a part of the Museum of Art in the middle. That one thing definitely looks like a sculpture of sorts.
Yep. Good to see some of the city in the background,
but the actual name Vespucci Canals most likely corresponds to Venice.
So far the replications of Venice Beach and Muscle Beach (below) look really good.
At least, identical to when I lived in Venice. This game is going to make me homesick.
Thanks for that Undertaker.

Yep you can sleep in the bed in the Police Station. I wasted a lot of time looking for a bed.
Would go back alot. Also used one single garbage can in the main town square for stash.
It's in the safe zone, don't save stuff elsewhere because most places closed after game end.
It seems like supplies are low but there really is stuff hidden everywhere. Dean's Stashes are cool too.
Back then I was probably more focused with collecting the cards and recipes and coins and rare stuff.
Also high stealth level really helps on this DLC.
Especially if you try the trick at the game end.
I remember being able to poison tip the various spears which did a bit more initial damage.
Save the cloud residue, and any other items that can be used for crafting. Love that shit.
Liked the gas bombs too, but then again I always have explosives perks. Mines are fun D!0.
You should give them another chance, leave them around for when you know you're being followed.
I always left 20-30 of them at the Enclave outposts in Fallout 3. Funny to come back and watch.
Also, savor the moments with Christine. I'll never forget the initial conversation when you first meet her.
Speaking of which, how acid freaky was that first meeting with Dog?
-
Tim Burton, Abe Lincoln, Vampires, Axes...it *has* to be good.
Can't wait to see it. Thanks for the positive reviews.
Same for FDR : American Baddass. That looks great as well.

Totally. Gotta figure out the factions and karma thing.
is there even a follower for when you join the legion?
so far every follower I have seems to be good or neutral. cant imagine any of them following a legion or evil/house guy. pretty sure i got all the followers
@DiO: Sorry for late reply, but if memory serves me as it usually does,
Danny Trejo's character Raul, does not mind if you are Legion. He should stay with you.
If you meant any "new" characters, there aren't. Only side missions and unmarked quests.
They involve members of the Legion and slaves inside the Fort. We had a similar conversation
when New Vegas came out, and I remembered Raul is the only neutral party to the Legion.
The rest will leave over certain instances.....
EDIT: Checked:
Siding with the Legion can make keeping companions very difficult while following the main questline' date=' and most human companions will likely abandon the player over time. Veronica Santangelo will likely leave when the Brotherhood of Steel bunker is destroyed, Craig Boone will leave when the player kills several NCR soldiers, and Arcade Gannon will leave when your reputation with the Legion grows too high. Rose of Sharon Cassidy allows the player to work with the Legion despite her dislike for them, Raul is somewhat supportive due to their ability to provide security, and Lily Bowen is too mentally damaged to have any opinion whatsoever. -
got an enb going. looks really good. I want the nights darker and all the colours less saturated.
not sure how to fuck with the settings
Download Nevada Skies and Electro-City Imaginator. They'll make shit pretty.
What do those mods do basically?
*hits jet and listens*
-
It makes them hostile at me? So far my next quest is protecting the president. I figured, or at least hoping being independent would be good karma depending on what you choose to do.
Might be a little more neutral, but Im not opposed to going neutral.
Protecting the President will score with the NCR.
There's a few tricks involved, speeching and searching mostly. (Base, guards)
Killing him will score with the Legion. Again a few tricks involved. Having a certain mechanical part......
Can't remember how it affects the Yes Man.
-
Theres not really a difference between charisma and speech.... Should just combine the traits... Maybe add diseases, and add a resistance trait.
There's a difference, at least in Fallout 3.
You won't get many special opportunities with Charisma,
but the Speech options are plentiful. Speech is very valuable.
This just said if i keep dealing with Yes Man I will no longer be able to work with the NCR.
Probably gonna keep it going that way then. Be all independent like
Note the sections of the map where they are located. Might be a little hostile now.
If you are really going independant, don't forget to clean out the Fort.
-
How many characters have you got for this series? (Question for all you hardcore Falloutsiders...)
Difficult to say in my case. 3 on PC. At least a dozen or more for 360.....
On the XB360, I've had so many for Fallout 3, because the game makes you want to replay after each one.
The randomness factor is high, as each game will have different random encounters.
Your characters develop differently, things happen relatively the same, but differently.
I just started a new game a few weeks ago and now already Level 27.
Already thinking of the next game.
With New Vegas, 3 characters. That game is ok. The DLC's are the highlight.

Heartless would be pleased if this turned out to be true.

Similarly written piece, centering around The Commonwealth:
Fallout 4… In Boston?!
August 23, 2012
Written by Lance Alexander
The rumor mill for video games has been busy this month, and the newest talk concerning the
Fallout Franchise is that Fallout 4 will take place in Boston, or ‘the Commonwealth‘ in Fallout lore.
An anonymous Reddit user says that Bethesda has been scouting the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. The Anonymous user posted ‘The rumors are true, Fallout 4 will take place in Boston,”
the user writes. “In case you haven’t heard, Bethesda has recently been scoping out and researching
Boston. They also have a strong connection to MIT.’
And in lieu with the marvelous leaker from Bioware, the user explained that he ‘may or may not be
an MIT employee,’ but that was all he or she could say for fear of losing his job.
You might be wondering why the Commonwealth might be considered as an awesome spot for the game.
You might recall that in Fallout 3 there was a quest called ‘The Replicated Man’
where players encountered an NPC named Dr. Zimmer who described the Commonwealth as a
‘war-ravaged quagmire of violence and despair.’ But despite that, the Commonwealth has
an impressive amount of lore associated with it, such as incredibly humanoid robots.
I simply can’t wait to hear if these rumors are true or not!

Their pizza is overrated, too. Chicago is the correct side of that battle.
How did you know?
One of the best pizzas I ever had was in Chicago!!!
Plus their hot dogs own over NYC, they're like specialty grilled dogs.
-
I haven't had good Mexican food in ages. Chimichangas make life worth living. Actually, I need to go mention that in the other topic...
You would be surprised at how many restaurants and even roach coaches claim they make
the proper Mexican Food out here. In reality they make what the local populace will except.
Same with Chinese. They rape it. Can't find decent combination fried rice even. They suck ass.
But then again I am spoiled because I grew up in California where all food is killer.
I think Liberty City is only good for their hot dogs and their nuts, just like in GTA IV.
Put their weiners and nuts in your mouth. That's New York. Howyadoin? Faghedaboudit.
...
Thanks those were *awesome* DuP!
Which GTA game for PS2 should I replay first?
in Other GTA Games
