I've sorta come to a dead end in GTA SA. I have 3 missions available,
1. for WuZi but I can't do this mission until i improve my underwater skills
2. For that geek guy where I have to fly a model helocopter in a model battlefield, however, i can only move the helicopter either left or right and not forwards for some reason.
3. A mission in San Fierra where I have to intercept the supply of drugs by your close friend, but i can never get there in time.
Which mission do i need to complete to progress the story? i have 0 underwater skills, and it'll take a long time to improve it. Any quick ways?

1. Do some dives until you improve your lung capacity 1 or 2 times. It don't take too much time and it's necessary to continue the game
2. For the helicopter, Z and S control the height (W ans S if you have a qwerty keyboard). You have to press Z and Up (the standard UP key) to keep the height and move forward. It will take some training but it's a lot easier to control that the mini plane.
3. Those are random missions only to earn some money, just drive fast to los santos in the area of the trucking missions and you'll easily intercept it.

the gfx arent that good....
dunno what is sooooo special about it...why its got that hyped..for nothing.
BF2 is way better..too bad it has some very seriouls bugs... well a patch is on its way (-: |
It's called a story driven game ...
And as u can see it's not for graphics junkies with triple-SLI-crossfire GFX cards. |
agree
gta = gameplay and fun

i like the gfx. i mean, i personally think its pretty nice.
when i am in los santos i feel like im there and same goes for red neck towns. it has great atmosphere. so they must be doing something right.
just the size of things makes it cool also.
edit: what im trying to say is that technically its not so good, but from an artistic view its top notch. and that counts for more. at least in this game.
but soon, on next gen systems it will obviously progress in the gfx field.

i think SA is great, but i think i enjoyed VC more.
graphically the game great and im sure its awesome at max settings but i cant seem to get good frame rates running the game over high detail 1024x768 32bit with 1x of AA, and i have a AMD barton 3000+, 1 gig of ddr333, and a gf5900. im sure trying 16bit would help but i never get around to it. are there any audio settings or switches besides volume?
i keep getting intermittent crashes as well, always when a cut scene is starting or ending. really sux to complete a mission and the cut scene crashes me. even worse when i have been killed and run around the city restocking weapons and the game crashes when i start a mission...
on the mission where CJ and Big Smoke are chasing the train on the dirt bike , after i won it, i cruised back thru the tunnels and was giving it hell when all of a sudden the damn game says i activated a cheat! i am pretty sure i was only using WASD at the time. sux, now everytime i save it says a cheat was used at its not recommended to save the game... 
the game does not seem like that big an upgrade from VC, alot of the vehicles are the same and after adjusting the video settings from the defaults everything looks pretty much the same but with upgraded textures. the biggest difference appears to be in content, alot more adult in nature and i wish there were more series and genres that could make that leap. the characters smoke dope constantly, kill crack dealers, get their dicks sucked, and get some great cussing going on, love all that stuff in this game. some of the ambient comments you hear are fresh and very funny. the radio commentary and music are fantastic as well. the introduction of the gym, the girlfriend, and tagging are interesting but not innovative. it was nice that the citizens will attack you for hitting their cars now, another small tweak.
one thing that can be said for this game: the map is huge & very detailed, i hope that reflects the length of the game but i am not so sure that alot of the preipheral area is empty or only there to cruise.
i would like to see them take the series to another level and at least add in some network play options (console owners can play network games so whats the big deal?), maybe a choice of avatar would be nice or replay features like Resident Evil.
some gripes i have with the game:
item purchase system which is sluggish & repetitive; hit left or right, wait for the NPC to pull up another tray etc etc. i much rather have a system like say Tiger Woods where you choose from a visible list.
im not really sure how far into the game i am but the only way i have really earned any cash was from driving over or shooting rival gang members; VC seemed to have more cash flow that started earlier, but i guess SA is set in the 'hood...
the AI can be plenty dicey and inconsistent although i do think it works pretty damn good considering how many NPC's populate the streets.
heat just does not feel important to me anymore. i rarely get above 3 stars and it just does not exert enough tension to the game. older versions implemented it alot better, you could tell when you were taking it too far or up a notch.
where are the killing sprees or whatever they are called?
so anyways, i think its a great game. graphics are great, the new characters were hilarious. the gameplay is a little stale but always entertaining. i think if they implemented network/multiplayer support this game could sell much like the Sims with simple expansions/cities added to the game instead of a new title altogether every few years. multiplayer never hurt sales, right? but i guess what i am hoping is the game will become a PC title ported to consoles and not the other way around and i dont see it happening!

i have got the retail 2 days ago and guess what....no crashes anymore! |
nope, well, not for me anyways. ever since i got the retail ive had crashing probs and sound issues. i managed to beat the game thru all of it, however when i decided i wanted to play it again, it just hanged there, gtasa.exe in task manager but nothing loading. and i play about 20 of the most recent games off and on at any moment with no probs, so i know its not my system. i got frustrated so i uninstalled the sob. the install process is so long that i havent felt the urge to reinstall. not until some decent mods come out, anyways.

Ok, i'm up to the Freefall mission in Las Venturas. I go to the airport, collect the plane and then fly towards the next mission objective.
however, the mission objective is unreachable as it is outside the gameworld.
no matter how far i go trying to approach it, it is always far off into the distance.
please help

you have to fly outside the world about 3mins...also take care that you're on the correct altitude...the objective icon should be a square, not a triangle (triangle pointing up = you're too low ; triangle pointing down = you're too high)

Also, make sure you start to turn as quick as you see the square (triangle) on the minimap starts moving (it's not outside the minimap limits) because the plane you have to catch is quick and you might miss it..

Graphics aint terrible, think its good ofcourse it could be better but then noone could play it.
Btw since this thread is up again, i was wondering how the citys is according to the real citys? Is for example los santos a copy of los angeles or isnt it even anything like it?

Yeah but the amount of game world you can explore and see is fantastic.

You don't need good graphics to make a great game and this is a great game.

Do a u-turn as soon as you can se the plane far away, stop pushing gas and let the plane fly by you and start gasing and you should be right on the planes ass if you do it right.

For the free fall mission, I flew at sort of a 45 degree angle to where the plane was marked on the minimap, so when I saw it, I was already turned a lot of the way.
Plus, make sure you are a bit higher than the marker, so then you can catch up by descending quickly into the corona.

thats exactly how i did it the second time, when i saw i was way too far after my turn.
I was very high, then I started doing a DIVE/TURN when i saw it. This way, youre not ony gaining speed so you can catch up later but you are also going less further away from it since your cutting the turn by losing altitude.

Do it until you get her card (wear the gimp suit each time and it will be very fast). Eventually you can kill her an go grab the card in her house but you won't be able to date her anymore.
This is not a signature and you're not reading it
