Thread: I am playing...

GTA SA too can be slow if you have tried completing the side missions available ..... Taxi Driver mission/Pimping Mission/FireFighter/Ambulance driver etc etc etc .....

I finished San Andreas without using a single cheat

Mafia is the best game ever. U get so "attached" to game till the end. For me, i just never wanted it to get over !!! First 2-3 missions u have Slowwww cars, after that, u even get racing cars. 1 mission u have to race and it is pretty tricky to drive on of those Old vintage F1 cars. But, its all down to taste.

I found that GTA SA was way too long and many missions were boring(side). If they made it a bit shorter, would have been better. Hats off to all those who finished the game !!

I found the racing mission of Mafia to be extremely hard. It was really surprising as i used to win in NFS games in LAN parties. Then a friend told me about the secret track in the racing mission which enables us to finish the race faster and finish the mission.

GTA:SA was good, but the only gripe was that i stopped playing it by the Airplane license mission. Too tough for me...

^ a few missions u have to try a few times to succeed ....

Mafia
Yeah i think u press Cntrl+1 or some other Num pad key ..... Its a cheat

After sometime i came to know the pilot license could be obtained merely by flying a passenger airplane for certain duration. But i had uninstalled the game by then Here is my doubt. Once we get the license, will the pilot license mission be loaded? I mean can we skip the pilot training mission?

Sorry for being unclear on my post. Yes its the flying school mission. Its been sometime since i played that game. Had played it by 2005. So i do not remember the exact details.

I too played it long ago ...

Sorry i dont know !... i got my pilot license after finishing the Flight mission just the way it was meant to be finished [that is by completing the set of challenges]

I only care about the Graphics and Story of a game. Mafia: City Of Lost Heavens have a very good story and realistic Graphics and game play. That's why I didn't like GTA: Vice City.

Agreed. Mafia has good story and cool graphics. GTA on the other hand is for having fun on a free ride which gets monotonous after a while....

I didn't like the GTA series much...
I like games which have some good storyline and gameplay; and satisfactory graphics.

Anybody remember the alternate way of gaining health in gta.......I mean the hooker in the car....that was unique

I have not played GTA much.
Would you mind to say what you really meant by the hooker in the car???

Wow, getting into a very detailed explanation about this issue might get me banned. Nevertheless, for the sake of sharing knowledge about gta I'm furnishing a sketchy outline.

While cruising in a car (hijacked or otherwise), look out for some ladies who stand out from the general crowd. Go near the woman. After a few moments she'll open the car door and get in. Then drive off and look around for a secluded spot (Mostly woody parks work just fine). Park the car and wait. After some time you'll see the car shaking on its springs (). You health starts increasing till you reach max. Then the lady comes out and goes away.


Cool, right?

Hence I'm staying away...

This is not the end of it, there is part in the game when our hero fell in love with a Nurse, later they finish in the apartment, the whole apartment start shaking with loud sound.

It was released with the thing happend inside the apart. but later they pull out all the Dvds and censored this part

there was a short cut, which I tried, but the problem was, whenever i was using the shortcut, the lap no. wasn't increasing, even after completing the lap

Strange!! I precisely remember using that track to complete that mission. Maybe they have patched up the game

may be i m still missing sometime, anyways its feel great to complete the mission without cheat

Indeed Mafia was a superb game and it will be forever in my mind

Yes you are right if you take that shortcut track then your lap count will not be over there is a simple cheat over that here goes

Once you are at the end of the shortcut just stop your car and make sure you are on the main track and then press the reset button then see what happens i am leaving this for a surprise!

And yes btw these days i am playing Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts its a war based strategy game which is hell tough!!!

with gamepads you should try sports games like fifa, nba, pro soccer etc .. joysticks are best for car games

i wont said that i have joy stick.......i said game pad it means a remote like which we used to play mario and contra kind of 8 bit games..........i love mario...but my game pad is a little bigger........

its very very hard playing NFS on the wheel. U have to turn very slightly. Its a lot easier with a gamepad.
