3 stars and they chased me down in a boat.
For getting away from cops, I try to get a fast and stable car and just blast it down the highway. Eventually you will get away. The cars that look like Mercedes E class are great.

There's a cemetery near the water and some people were there looking a graves so I found it ironic and started shooting a shitload of them and then when my wanted level go high I just jumped in the water and swam out of the circle and then came back and did it all over again. Of course this was before my game stopped working
How do you guys control speed on PS3? Thats one thing I always liked over PS was the fact that you could easily half push triggers on 360.

That was uncalled for...
Got my PS3 hooked up yesterday and have been addicted since...
I also picked up GT5 Prologue, but I haven't played it yet...
I hope they're not expecting me at work tomorrow

50% complete
$400,000 in the bank
18 mission fails and resets (sad part is they were easy missions where you have to chase people. I would just do something dumb like flip my car while chasing them)
Favorite gun: AR-15 (Combat Rifle)
Favorite Sports Car: Toss up between the Porsche and Lambo
Favorite Cruising Car: Any of the Beamers (Aka Sentinels)
Best car I have saved: Bentley or the Lambo
Favorite people: Ramon and Jacob, Jacob brings me guns, and Roman can send you a taxi service to take you anywhere in the city if you dont feel like driving, or if you want to do a driveby

Damnit, I just got done playing. I have to wake up at 6am for an 8am class. Multiplayer is insanely addicting, I can't let go of the controller.

Another part, when you unlock the lambo is when you are doing missions for the Fag Bernie.

I didn't get a chance to play all weekend, despite that being the plan .
You can get money from the taxi, but it's not the same as in previous versions. Call Ramon and select "job". There's a vigilante sidebar, too...after completing some mission (don't know which), you can access a police computer in a cop car and it tells you who to get.

Has anyone gone back to the cabaret after killing Faustin? I took Michelle there and after the show I was walking out and these guys were like "How dare you show your face here!" and I ran out followed by dozens of cloned russian thugs in suits. Running them over and watching them ragdoll has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Good to know for the future motorcycle missions. I tried shooting him before he got on the bike but couldn't do it fast enough. I re did the mission at least 10 times until i finally shot him while i was on the bike. i was about ready to throw my controller against the wall.
One thing about GTA that is kinda annoying is that i feel like every mission is like "find bad guy, he runs away, you have to chase him around half the city, gun him down." i'm really tired of the chase missions.

For Jacob's package delivery missions, do we have to stay in that POS car? I've been having trouble completing the missions cuz it accelerates/handles like complete shit.

Someone linked me to that the other day. I'm too burnt out on the game to try it out though.
The gameplay is really pissing me off, I don't understand how in a world of assassin's creed and crackdown they came up with such a crappy ladder mechanic. Also re parking my car during a mission and switching to my fists during a cutscnene in the middle of a fire fight is getting pretty old too.

Nope. Get in that car to get the package, then you can drive whatever you want after that.

There are a ton of these little stupid things that seem like they should have been figured out back in PS2 days.
The worst in this game is that you can't run or do anything when you are on the phone. So many missions end with you being chased by the cops, but then you automatically make a phone call and you have to walk in super slow motion until you can hang up the call...dumb.

That Ign link has a neat interactive map, it will tell you where a weapon is, what kind it is, and give a brief description of how to find it in that area.

You'll do a mission soon where you will get an AK, grenades and sniper rifle. I forgot the name of it.

BTW to avoid extra stars don't shoot at shit unless you have too.
I just did a mission where you had to move heroin for the mafia and I shot the police who were on the ground in front of me, and blew up a heli and only got 3 stars. After I hopped in the truck, no more shooting. It stayed at 3 stars and I got away easy.
The first time I tried it I just shot the shit out of everyone, got 6 stars and was fucked up by the FBI.
BTW the FBI drive Dodge Chargers...kinda bad ass
