Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 That train mission can be a pain because they are standing in the middle of the car, so you need to position the bike so Sweet can shoot them. Like was said earlier, keep the bike just at the edge of the rail ties. That should give Sweet enough of an angle to blast them. Also, I've heard that when you are riding on the trails alongside the tracks you can actually jump ONTO the train. Then it's a simple matter of riding up to the front and drive-bying to the front until they're all dead. Haven't tried it myself, but there are some people who swear they've done it. Well, I've finished OG and Big Sweet, have one mission left on Ryder (Robbing Uncle Sam is a pain in the ass), still have Ceasar's race, and haven't even started on Tenpenny's missions yet. Gotta get back to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fanofcoils Report post Posted October 30, 2004 Its not Sweet, its Big Smoke that is on the bike with you on the train mission. The dancing thing is funny because if you get 20 in a row right and then 1 one wrong they call you a loser. Robbing Uncle Sam is easy, every time Ryder is shooting at the National Guard, shoot at them, there will only be 1 at a time shooting at Ryder if you help him out right away. Ryder is incompetent and can't blast them away himself so you have to do the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 Robbing Uncle Sam was extra difficult for me because I accidentally destroyed one of the crates and had to travel to the other side of the base to get another. Anytime you're out near the truck and hear gunfire, get out and shoot the guard with your machinegun. Ryder buys time but has difficulty killing these guys. Someone mentioned a few pages ago the appearance of the nameless dude from GTA3. The crazy bitch with him is actually the end boss of GTA3, in the beginning of that game she talks to you and says she doesn't love you anymore and shoots you in the face. At the end, you either already know or can probably guess what he does to her. And not a moment too soon, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 Yeah got past it, Ryder was a dumbass and got blown away, but eventually I got him to toss a crate the exploded one of the Hummers. The other one got caught in the blast, caught on fire, and went up. From there it was easy. Now I'm stuck between the race (tried it, didn't like it, no sir) and Tenpenny's missions. I've read about his first one and don't like the sounds of it but oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2004 I just did the race. Is there more than one, or is what I did the thing that everyone is having trouble with? I don't know if it was the car I was driving, luck, or what, but I not only beat it on my first try, but also the other drivers didn't have a chance. It was almost as if they just didn't even try or press on the gas. Could it have been a glitch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It just could have been, one, you're a good driver, or two, that time they didn't perform well. The computer does that, sometimes theyll do great...sometimes they wont. And is the race you did the one where Cesar directs you where to go? And if so...don't worry, it gets harder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything else is kinda the same. That's like...an oxymoron or something. What makes it different? THE NEW THINGS ADDED. Every Final Fantasy is just, basically running around killing monsters, does that make them the same? GTAIII and GTAVC were two completely different games...this ones no different.

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted October 31, 2004 Playing it at the moment, I'm doing "Beach Party" for OG. Damn, the dancing is surprisingly hard for that mission type. The partygoers' 180 degree attitude turns make me want to break something though. Yeah, for "Wrong Side of the Tracks" you have to be over to the right a deal so that when Smoke is shooting, the bullets are hitting the gangmembers rather than the carriage. If you end up going up the off-ramp to the right once you hit the country, you'll eventually get the chance to take the bike onto the train. There should only be about one gangmember left by now, and shooting him is easy. Get it done quickly and you won't have to worry about getting yourself too far out of Los Santos and ensuring a lengthy trip home through the country.

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 So when does more of the map become available to you? I've just about completed all the missons in Los Santos (forgive me if that is not the default city you start in, but that is the one I'm referring to), so it has to be sometime soon. I'm currently stuck on the Big Smoke bike ride mission. I toast all the gangsters in the building with no worries, but I'll be damned if I can make it out with the bike still intact.

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted October 31, 2004 UYI, you're talking about "Just Business"? That's not it for Los Santos - you'll have done the starting missions, worked for Sweet, Ryder and Big Smoke once you've finished that mission but you've still go to do shit for OG Lock (Jefferey), the cops and Cesar Vialpando at least. The mission you're currently on is the last for Smoke though. The key to it is to make sure to aim at the back at all times - don't aim forward. If there's something ahead of you that you need to wipe out, you'll come to it. After a few tries, you'll know when the bikers are coming so be ready to ice them and take them off their bikes before they can get close enough to really fuck you up. After you fly over the ramp and the big blockade now behind you blows up for some reason, there'll be a few guys on bikes to take out and then it's through the sewerage pipe. Once you've taken out another few in there you'll come out into the city and lose them. From there, you and Smoke split up, you've got your respect, mission's over and I recommend driving back to the Grove and saving your game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 I just finally got to open up San Fierro. I thought once you got to the Badlands that was part of San Fierro, but it's actually a completely different section. Things in the story are starting to pick up a bit more, it's getting very good.

Guest Big_Jay101 Report post Posted November 1, 2004 Just hang out by Cesars house and a lowrider will come by sometime soon. I've done beat all the missiopns in Los Santos and am now in the country part and I have opened up San Fierro, but I can't beat the Cesar race where your in the country, any suggestions? Im done past the catalina missions and the truth's combine mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fanofcoils Report post Posted November 1, 2004 The lowrider parked near Cesar's house is terrible and I lost a bunch of races in a row with it, but when I used a different lowrider (called Broadway I believe) I won easily. The first one had much faster speed but much worse controls. Fast speed is great but with all the turns the car is pretty useless. With the car I won with, it seemed like a slow car but the CPUs drove slower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
