My game crashed last night, after I'd got 90% of the way towards the 'fly under all the bridges' achievement, which was fucking well annoying. It keeps randomly pausing as well.

One mission I didn't like was where you had to steal a cop car, lose your wanted level, access the police computer, look up some dude, drive to his house and then chase him. Far too long and too easy to fail at the end. Just crap IMHO, but its the only poor mission so far.

I really liked the car chase in that mission. He kept crashing into lorries knocking down logs and barrels to slow me down. I didn't even bother trying to kill him for ages just because I wanted to see what else he'd do to try and stop me. Then I got bored and shot him in his face. I definitely didn't think it was easy to fail, unless you're crap at driving.

Nobody has mentioned the hilarious adverts for The Science of Crime, a brillo CSI piss-take.

The ads and news items are great in general. Some really funny stuff in there. :lol:

Just took my first cab ride and decided not to skip it so I could watch the scenery. Looked wonderful.

did anyone else have trouble with the mission you done with X involving the building site?

I must have tried that about 20 times, the most annoying thing was after failing, getting back to X, then driving all the way to the bottom of map to construxtion site, then getting the guns, then going up in the lift, then sniper, then back down in lift, before I could even start trying the hard bit again!

In the end it seems the last guy doesnt get in the chopper, meaning you dont need to rush the last bit. Either that or it eventually took pity on me.

Nope.

The view from up there is spectacular.

I love what happens when you snipe those guys.

Watching them fall is wickid. Thank god for Euphoria.

At least one of them falls onto a parked car below!

Thats just a play on 'Armageddon', surely?

Well, yes, that's entirely possible.

That's what I thought.

People are rather assuming it's a reference to Videogaiden. It could be, but it very probobly isn't.

Back to Euphoria - I can't understand how anyone could fail to be impressed by it.

I was staggering around pissed last night with brucie and bumped into him and we both fell other into a pile on top of each other.

I got up and proceeded to collapse onto a lamppost, and knocked my head on it.

Niko slurring ''yellow car!'' is just wonderful.

After making your way to the site and shooting the first leader, there is a crane to the right (one that you sniped one of the lookouts of)- climb this all the way up and you can snipe the others out bar the boss- then just run up to the boss and finish him off

That's a great mission to pick up loads of free guns. Grab the stash from the S.U.V then take a dive off of the building. Repeat...

If they were wanting to reference Videogaiden then why not just call the arcade, you know, 'Videogaiden'.

In other news, I hear Rockstar are big fans of Nike and wanted to let everyone know this by subtly referencing them in the lead characters name!

Yeah, the sniping was awesome. But what followed was very tricky, I would be amazed if most people didnt need a good few retires on that.

Saying that the next bit which I found comparable to that (Roman gets into some trouble)...

Was the rescue of Roman from the building, and I did actually manage that first time, although there was a fair bit of health and bullet proof vests pn the way up.

You think?

I just drove my car into there and slaughtered them with my AK. I use cover a lot, though.

Oh, tip: click right stick to zoom when shooting.

It's not a reference to us.

And there's not one reference to Manpuncher or Boxhead, so Rockstar are gonna get it.

Funnily enough I did try that the very first time but fell from the top all the way down the stairwell I had just come up :lol: After that decided it was probably a bit of a dodgy place to get trapped and abandoned it for the more direct route.

I really wish some missions had more of a hitman feel about them. Its really got me wanting a proper this gen hitman. Hitman in a free roaming world like this would be beyond awesome.
