Not as poor at usign the internet as you are, though. The evidence of this is inescapable, considering as how now there are two blank posts in teh thread, one of which is from more than three months ago. In the immortal words of Halo online: GG, man, GG!

There was one mission on, I think, the second island where you have to kill a corrupt cop. The cop runs out to his car and drives off and when you touch him you get four police stars. I at first placed a half-dozen regular cars in front of his getaway car, so that he'd be "trapped." The game, though, ERASED those cars after the cut-scene when he entered his own vehicle. Flat out ERASED them.

Well, if it's going to cheat me, I'm going to cheat it. Did you know that the game won't erase tanks? I dropped four of them in front of his getaway car, chucked grenades at him while he was trapped, killed him (the police stars revert back to zero after that mission ends) and then drove the tanks into the river.

It's a shame that the game knew what I was going to try and then stopped me. I mean, hell.

I have another comment to make regarding the game's twisted, other-worldly logic, but I don't want to spoil the plot. Have you met the Asian guy yet, who says (with a lisp) how disappointed he is in gaijans? As you and I are both gaijans I found it uproariously entertaining to in fact "disappoint" him... ONCE AND FOR ALL!

(Well, actually, my brother did. His computer can't run the game and I haven't put his new one in a case yet. So I've been watching him play it.)

This guy was from raiden.fan-tex.com.pl. He is very poor at using the Internet.

So, the city in GTA3 is called "Liberty City."

And the city in Freedom Force is called "Patriot City."

So close to comedy titanium, yet so far away. If only they were the same. Ah, well.

Also, I'd like to congratulate you on getting to the third island. I hope you remembered the way back to the previous two because a good portion of your missions have you going back there. I keep expecting them to take it one step further. Something like a mission that requires you to not only take a boat and go east to your hideout or origin within three minutes, but go back to a city in Grand Theft Auto II or something. I can see it now -- there's a timer that countdown as you attempt to install GTA2 and if it doesn't finish up in time the game flashes "Too slow, man!" up on the screen and aborts your install.

You don't want to know the cheat codes to remove the police stars and to drop a tank right in front of you that you can commandeer, do you?

Okay, I'm ready to switch sides here.

In Portland, I hadn't hit a mission that I had to try more than two or three times, so it didn't really bother me that I had to restart each of them from the very beginning (including the process of going to the mission dude, spacebarring through his/her spiel, driving to the place to pick up the other car, then going to the place where the action is).

Then I'm on to Staunton, and still I'm not having much trouble. I mean, sure, sometimes I'll have to try a mission a couple times, but the journey is always a pleasant one, and let's face it, Liberty City is a beautiful city to behold (even though its denizens tend to be less than courteous.)

Okay, but the missions here tend to get a little tougher, to the point where when you look at a guy sideways, you get like fifteen of the "POLICE SAY U R BAD" stars, and you instantly explode the first time you run into a tissue box. Now I'm having to try missions four, five... TEN times.

But I can't just start from the part where it gets hard, I have to go through the ENTIRE PROCESS of coming out of the elevator, grabbing my ride, going to the place where the guy is, spacebarring through his thing, driving to the town up north, finding a specific kind of truck to grab, grabbing it (while dodging bullets), taking it back to the spray shop, then going to the place where I'm supposed to go, navigate up the maze of back alleys, and then FACE THE ENEMY, and hope that within five seconds I don't explode like a mother and get a face full of "WASTED".

So, yes, I can see how that can get annoying.

(Don't care, though. Still an amazing game.)
