So I finally got back on my GTA game, first time since September really, and finished off the last two missions that open up Tierra Robado. Now I have a whole new area to explore without the SWAT teams coming after me for territory violations.
I had been attacking TORENO’S LAST FLIGHT with the wrong approach, stopping every time I saw the chopper and trying to shoot it down. The approach that finally worked was getting ahead of the chopper and shooting it as it approached me. I have my doubts as to the accuracy of these virtual weapons — I don’t think I was shooting at it any more accurately from the front than from the rear. But it’s done, in any case.
YAY-KA-BOOM-BOOM was almost pitifully simple. Kill all the guards you can see before you drive the car into the crack lab, then fewer of them will be around to shoot at your car and potentially blow you up before you get it parked in there. Escaping was no big deal either, just jump the ramp over the freight containers and you’re good to go.
I guess I’m taking this more seriously so that when we get a WII, GTA will be in the past, and I won’t have those unfinished missions hanging over my head.
If I could just figure out how to pass the BURN AND LAP portion of Driving School, I’d be a much happier camper.
