Talking Random "GTA San Andreas Rocks" thread.
Not for tech help please...

Post likes, dislikes... Whatever..
Having trouble in a spot?

I'm once again in love with this game...
The PC version is so much better than the PS2.. So much more to see...

Also any hidden things you have found?...

Here's one..
BTW; did you know there were hidden "coffee" (sex) actions?
They were discovered in the PS 2 version, but now with the PC they can be unlocked..

Unlock Mod found here: http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=28
Download Ver.2 for both mod choices..

What? No one else likes S.A.?....
That "coffee" mod.. Well I finally got to test it..
Kinda, well, blah.. It add's nothing to your date, no increase.. Just something to see that Rock* didn't want you to see..
Takes extra time, for basically nothing.. I think I'm gonna disable it again..

well that's why the PC versions you can get updates for other stuff.

I rented the PS2 one. It was OK... The one where you are chasing the dudes on the train was a pain in the hole but generally it was good. I'll be waiting for it to be a greatest hit

Thats fine you can talk about the PS version too... just say what you like, things you found... If your stuck, maybe we can help..

Just saw other Rock* stuff.... In Zero's shop they have Tommy Verceti (Vice City) and "Man Hunt" action figures...

The one mission I really hate, is robbing the liquor store.. The one with the 4-wheelers. That quad is terrible.. And trying to steer it with the mouse.. grrr

I even had trouble with the PS 2 ver. any bump and the thing go's out of control..

It does seem that the PC version is some-what easier... Maybe to help over come the really sensitive mouse control..
I've tried almost all of the mouse sensitivity adjustments... and it's still a pain.

Mouse steer was better in GTA 3 and Vice City.. S.A. just falls way short.
The mouse while flying.. forget it.. You'll crash in no time..
One move to fast or to far and down you go..

Also think Rock* could have thought out the motorcycle control better..
If you are used to any first person shooter games, you know that moving the mouse down, looks up, and forward looks down.. right?.. Thats how I like it..
But to have the cam work the way I'm used to, then CJ on the bike's is backward.. Pull down to lean forward????... forward to lean back??? what gives?

End rant..
Still a sweet game.
Zero's missions... the one with the Barron and the delivery "boys".. In the PS2 ver. you had just enough fuel to complete, IF you killed them fast..
PC, I only used half of the given fuel.. And I crashed several times..

At least they fixed that error.

Dont they have the option for using a control pad. I know they did for GTA 2 or 3 i think. By the way. I'm still waiting on this game. I think you must be able to use a pad. Would be too awkward with the mouse. IMHO

I *totally enjoy* this game. I fixed the crashing problem. I can play it longer now.
Oh, and you're missing out if you don't watch all the cutscenes.

Yes you can use a controller, however I have only a wheel and a Microsoft "sidewinder"..

All the times I need to re-adjust the cam position, the controller just doesn't work for me... Need 3 hands I guess.

Even with the controller, the steering is much too touchy.. often get "speed swap".. the cars/bikes, and whatever, doing the mad dash from side to side, trying to control it..

Oh well I'm getting the hang of it..

neon: Yeh the cut scenes are cooler than PS2, small things in the back you never got to see befor..

Oh and is it just me, or does there seem to be more "road rage" in the PC ver.?
I get cars chasing me for blocks.. In PS2 you hit them they drive away, PC they "hunt" you down... Lost 2 custom lowriders that way.. Didn't even get to the meet, and the drivers would ram me and end up flipping the car...

Yah, I noticed that too. I wouldn't even have 1 star, but if I bumped a guy's car, theyd follow me and ram me and all for quite a few blocks until I'd get out and baseball bat them
