Can you set up somewhere on the xbox so that it uses my hard-drive to save data, it asks me that everytime I start it up and complete a mission?

I meant when I turn off the xbox and then turn it on again later, is there a way in the xbox dashboard menu to set up my hard disk as the default profile/save game storage device because it asks me that every time on gta, for ex.

I complete a mission
Then a dashboard pops up "choose your save game storage device" or something like that
I choose my hard disk, the only storage device that I have and confirm
Than it saves my game

If I turn it off it will ask me the same thing again later so I was wondering if there is an option so that it stops bugging me because there is an option for "automatic sign in" which I like.

CHase them closely, as soon as you drop down on the rails (w/o flying off teh bike) turn around and kill the closest guy of the two. Yes, I did it right there on the spot.

If you ain't quick enough and they already started off into the subway, chase them and kill the closest one.

Then there's no point in firing at the second guy - I emptied a dozen clips hitting him directly in the back and bike but it doesn't affect him. Right, because the game wants you to CHASE him longer. So keep following him until you get back into city and very soon after that he'll drop the bike and go on foot. That's when you kill him.

P.S. Be careful, when you drive onto a bridge and he jumps into a side passage there will be steps leading down onto the street. Slow down there if you want to follow him closely down those steps. And keep Niko tilted back not to go over your front wheel when desending.

Yeah, there's Solyaris of course (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069293/). No release in newsgroups so I'll have to up it somewhere as I promised a few months ago Very Happy

Vodka man, your strat worked. I stayed close to them and when we got on the subway I followed the back guy really close and shot him off and then unloaded about 100 rounds at the next guy and he didnt do shit.

But once we got back to the streets, i followed him closely, shot him off his bike, jumped off mine and fed the cunt a few m16 rounds.

Thanks man, I can finally enjoy the game again Smile

Oh, is Solaris the same as Solaris with George Clooney?

Syco, I find going for the enemies tires in a bike chase mission is usually highly effective.

Unless it's scripted to be bulletproof. I found out it's the case several time during chases. I think it's due to the driving model. A few hours into the game you learn to drive very well and catching up with the bastards is quite easy. So they FORCE you to do a chase instead of popping their tires and completing a mission in 30 sec.

I really don't appreciate you ppl not using spoiler tags Sad



yeah, i see... but.... It's a gameplay discussion, right ? Seems to be, majority have finished this game so far,

sometimes i have strange bug, i can't open spoilers (using Opera 9.26); i push this damn plus several times, but theres nothing happening. I have to open firefox, copy/paste link and open again... this way i personally don't look forward to spoilers, unless they are really needed.


I don't rush the game, I have life, family, work... I'm enjoying it with maximum expierience, I never been in NY, it takes some time to enjoy this city... Sure, I don't get one of these "achievements" calling "Liberty City Minute" or something..., but I don't care!

I'm pretty much disappointed that any 'kill this guy' mission ends up in just approaching and killing him with a couple of bullets instead of a tricky mini-boss fight.

i can count only couple of missions which were a bit original/different from any previous sandbox games

overall it was go there kill that guy kill this guy

very limited choise of weapon, no chanisaw, no m16 or minigun

and most annoying shit was when u finally killed your target 10 cop cars magically arrive at the scene, if only it was true NY would not require any csi or anyone else for that matter Very Happy

2. Why is the cell phone menu so small?



The phone interface is the only negative thing I have to say about the game really. Too dark and small.


option/change text size

on my 32" i can read messages no problem


I have a 26" tv in my room and can't currently play in the living room because of guests. The 26" tv is far away from where I play from. I changed the phone text size to large but text messages are still small. Only the menu text is slightly bigger.

Everytime I get a text message, I have to get up from my bed and walk up to the television to read what it says. I cant move my bed its not a normal rectangular bed thats easy to move. And I cannot move my tv either because its connected to the wall.

Its HD. My room's tv is a sony bravia kdl-26s2000. Ive had the same tv for 2 years now

http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&partNumber=KDL26S2000

I play on 1080i but I cant see crap since its so freakin far away and so small. But when I put it on 420 resolution i can see a little better since everything is a bit larger but then it just looks strange on 420 resolution.
