Dear god yesterday on one of the bridges I crashed my racing bike into a cluster of cars at full speed, right where the bridge slopes down. I flew over almost half of the bridge and an additional block before I even impacted. The bike somehow ended up even farther down the road than I did.
Okay, what's this swing set thing everyone's talking about? I'm playing right now, guess I can try and find out...
Also, the dating system in this game is all kinds of messed up. Take a chick bowling and I get to bed her, but next time I take her to a restaurant and she's all "You think I'm that easy?"
announced his marriage proposal to Mallorie and it was so heartbreaking (read: hilarious) to hear him being all depressed and sad about it while trying to be manly and alpha at the same time.

I have gone to the internet cafe a few times, and randomly just picked some of the people from the dating list and clicked Date, but nothing has happened. Is it something that doesn't become available until a bit later, after Michelle? I am only just recently
passed where they blow up your first hideout and you go to the next island location with roman
you can't even date those 2 (they don't show up on the dating site, at all) until after a certain point.
the others will just send you an email like "sorry no"
the ones that accept will give you a time and place to meet (will show up on your phone). also if you miss the date, don't sweat, just go back to the dating site and click DATE again, they will send you another email later.
I finally beat Three Leaf Clover this weekend, it sort of helped when I realized:
Tip/Spoiler:
You can duck down different alleys than Packie/Derrick so long as you're in range, and get behind the cops that you have to kill/dodge. At least till you go into the subway.
I've also started seeing more of the Flying Rats now, I'm not sure if that's due to storyline progress or just me paying more attention.
Either way, yaay for clearing progress roadblocks!

There's a story point for Brucie/Roman where they tell you something like "go get laid", and that's what unlocks your ability to use the dating site. At least, I think the datable girls weren't there till after that part.
Yeah, you can't even hail a cab until you do Vlad missions.
Ugh, speaking of that, I did the vlad stuff, so now I can hail the cabs. Whenever I get close to the one I either hailed, or called Roman to get, it says Hit Y to enter the cab as a pass
It doesn't matter what side of the cab I am on, the front, the back, left, right, etc, he always steals the damn thing.
Only once did I get it to work right. Is there something I am missing when trying to get in?

It says to hold Y, not just tap it.
Well alright then, thanks again. Sorry to use this as the H/A of GTA IV.

I love Packie's missions, but Goddamn.
Anyone got tips for beating the Bank robbery? That shit is hard. I got all the way down to the subway on my first attempt and lasted for awhiel with a tiny sliver of health, but a bullet hit me right as I was jumping onto the tracks.
.. yeah, just kill the police guys that are red dots on the radar and generally ignore the rest unless they are a direct threat. there's a armor pack right past the first alley too, on the left. pay attention to where the cops in the subway are so you can be ready for them. in particular a group of about 4-5 of them rush up the stairs from the tracks, so lob a nade at them... oh and use lots of nades, ie on the cop cars. be careful though, real easy to blowed yourself up...

Destruction for Beginners. Fuck. Yes. So awesome. Pistol all the way, then an AK-47 firestrike near the end. Excellent, excellent mission.
Goddamn, this fucking game. It's good and all, but it ain't 10 out of fucking 10. There's too many times where I just throw the controller down in disgust. Like on one of the last (very last?) gerry mission
with the goddamn diamonds. Oh no packie, don't run after me, AWAY from the fucking cops, run right into the giant ass fuck COP CENTRAL. JUST RUN RIGHT ON IN THERE LIKE A SPERM AFTER AN EGG, YOU GO BOY! Never mind I just spent 10 fucking minutes at least shooting a million mooks, and now I just want it to be fucking over. Christ!
Now someone can post the 'quit gettin mad at video games frog'.
for three leaf clover, make sure you stick with the other two. while it's fun to keep gunning down cops, you'll chew through ammo and eventually be swarmed. Lots of cover, and don't forget you have a sniper rifle to get through stalemates.

I've done the same thing on several missions. Most of them are because somehow I end up getting shot once with a pea-shooter and my fucking $500 fucking armor disappears like a fucking fart in a tornado.
I also had a total idiot moment yesterday.
So I'm in the Final Interview mission, and I get to the fucking place an hour and a half before I actually have to be there. Suit. Nice shoes. Gun. Ready to go. Walk up to the door, and I get the "You should only wear a suit and tie and some smart shoes to the interview." So I go on a killing spree. NINE TIMES.
Then I realize why it won't let me in.
I forgot to take off the fucking sunglasses.
So there went three hours of my life down the toilet thanks to a bullshit detail.

You know you could've
just knifed the lawyer in that mission, yeah? that way no one hears you kill him, and you can just walk out of the building easily with the files in hand.

Those don't ever end.
Well they might, at a certain point Roman moves his cab HQ and I don't think you can do them after.
They're shitty money anyways.
Better money is to do all of Stevie's (not Brucie's) car stealing missions. Then he'll pay for any car you stick in that garage.
or is it just yo the fagorinos need more respect kill these fools bwa bwa bwa
it's regarding the last mission, but it's fairly nonspecific

Yes.
You gave it up after bowling.

you can't date all of them though
only Sobohoe and Lawchick
and then there's a girl you can date on craplist.net (need algonquin unlocked)
Thanks.
the others will just send you an email like "sorry no"
the ones that accept will give you a time and place to meet (will show up on your phone). also if you miss the date, don't sweat, just go back to the dating site and click DATE again, they will send you another email later.
