LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I'm thinking of making my CJ a bulimic. Puke up that chicken, fatty. If you order like 8 of the jumbo meals, he'll yak it up in front of the counter. Public bulimia rules. I know. I just need to figure out an outfit that goes with bulimia. Are there emo glasses in this game? Somehow making CJ an angsty bulimic emo would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I'd just like to know the requirements exactly for a gold medal-worthy donut at driving school. Oh yeah, and notice the 80's videogame music that plays when you get back non-passing results at that place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I'd just like to know the requirements exactly for a gold medal-worthy donut at driving school. The 360? Make one full rotation in either direction. Once you've done that, swing back and forth a little until time expires. If you keep going in the same direction, you won't end up in the right end position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Alright, I picked up the gold on that one. Another thing at driving school that I'm finding exceptionally hard is nailing that perfect 90 degree park in between the two cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 A lot of the tests were painful trial and error for me. The one where you do a barrel roll, I hit perfectly once within 10 tries, then didn't even get close when playing around another 50 times. I don't think I'll ever get gold on the two wheels, or the cross-town race. Most of the others weren't too hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I've currently got four gold medals at driving school, but am getting really sick and tired of the lack of mission organisation in San Fierro. The gold medals are for the 360, 180, "Whip and Terminate" and "Pop and Control". The rest offer their own problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 How the hell do I get gold on Pop and Control, and the city run in Driving School? If that's the one with the cop car and spike strip, it seems to be partly based on luck. Sometimes your car will spin out after blowing the tires, and sometimes it won't. If it does, you're out of luck unless you're really good at controlling the car. If it doesn't spin, and you keep going straight, keep your thumb on the gas, and gently make your way around the cones (you might not have to turn at all), into the end of the run. If you stop straight, and close enough to the end cones, you should get 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Evolution Report post Posted November 11, 2004 Pop and Control Tip: More often than not, once your car hits the spike strip, take your finger off the gas. There might be an instance where gassing it is necessary, but this is not likely to be the case. Guide your car through the cones and make the best stop possible for 100% City Slicking Tip: Hey, if you fail the first time, no quitting and restarting at another time. Rockstar has implemented a system where the game will get easier if you start to get stuck. It won't be very noticeable, but if you fail City Slicking over and over and over and over, the same taps of a car that gave you 1% will need to be four or five taps before it registers as 1%. Use Rockstar's new difficulty system to your advantage, but don't abuse it. Remain careful. As soon as you pop out of the driving school, make a safe cut across of the land in front of your safe house across from the driving school. Take a left and immediately get into the center of the tram lane. If there is a tram coming (90% of the time it won't), swerve out of the way but get back in quickly. Watch out for cars pulling into the intersection from the left or right. When you absolutely must turn off this main road, make a right and instead of taking your first left, go down the hill and then take a left. Continue straight through the next intersection as you go down the weaving downhill road (if you've sped through the first part, be CAREFUL here). When you see the marker in the distance, get ready for one of the more advanced parts of this mission, as you'll hit the handbrake and turn your car around 180 degrees to face it the other way. DO NOT LET YOUR THUMB OFF THE GAS WHEN HANDBRAKING THE TURN. If your car comes to a complete stop, the mission will be over, and to have a mission failed when you're halfway through is frustrating. Once you've completed the turn, return on the same course that you took to get to the turn around point, except in reverse, obviously. Keep in the center and if you're jonesing for time, gun it down the tram tracks and take a chance that a car might cross into your intersection and you might not be ready for it. To summarize: - Be alert - Don't ever come to a complete stop unless you KNOW you've failed the mission and don't want to waste time. - Never quit the mission and move onto something else, take advantage of Rockstar's difficulty system and keep retrying it until you can nail it down. Practice makes perfect is not so cliche in this instance. - When making the handbrake turn, hit the handbrake, turn, and keep your finger on the gas, no matter what. - When you're on the tram track in the home stretch, and you're feeling nervous about time, hit that gas and go for it. It's better to go fast and possibly get into a crash but know that you could've made it if that car wasn't RIGHT THERE, than it is to go at a medium pace and end up crashing into no cars, but guess what, you weren't fast enough. City Slicking is one of the most frustrating missions I encountered in the game. Don't exit out of the driving school if you're feeling like kicking the nearest pet, just put down the controller and clear your mind and go right back in.

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted November 11, 2004 I haven't completed it yet, but "City Slicking" really doesn't seem too hard. The main challenge looks to be keeping your speed up as you weave around the corners at the other end of the city. "Pop and Control" was really easy when I actually tried too. As Evolution said, take your foot off the gas when you hit the spikes, because if you don't, the car will spin out of control and you'll hit cones, ruling out any possibility of a gold medal. From there, keep it as straight as possible, don't hit any cones (obviously) and try and finish as straight and close to the end cone as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main challenge looks to be keeping your speed up as you weave around the corners at the other end of the city. Yeah, but the weaving can get pretty bitchy in a car like the Super GT. Blind turns also suck. And the occasional car that gets a green light when you're blasting through a red and it travels downhill and smacks right into you? Very frustrating.

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted November 11, 2004 It's hardest when you have to take the downhill right. I find it's safest to ease off the accelerator there, touch the light and then negotiate a safe u-turn. ... and then try and keep your speed up to beat the time while not smashing into anything. Having to do it in under 100 seconds makes it extra hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If all else fails, look at your radar and see where the third one is coming from. I assure you that you have to take a picture of Ryder, the Mexican guy (T-Bone Mendez), and a third man (who will be unidentified at that time). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if you should fail, don't reload, as when you try again you can skip the cross country trek with the trip skipper or whatever it's called. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
