"Stores Knocked Off"... what is that?

How do I do it? :s

Finding all packages is possible without a guide, but I don't feel like playing this game for 12 hours/day for a couple of months just looking for them.

I've found 16 out of 100.

there are stores dotted around that you can rob.

just run in and point yer gun at them, the longer you do, the more money you get. also the more stars you get :)

you can shoot the cashier or just take the money and run :devil: :devil:

How do I point the gun without pulling the trigger??? Is there a 'Point gun' button?

flying the mini heli's are HARD, i found it so much easier on the ps2 controller but driving cars and shooting guns were hard on ps2 and easy on PC. But i struggled through that mini helicopter part. Took me 4 tries to get it perfect with like 20 secs to spare.

You move the mouse.. please tell me you are kidding.

Well if I just point the gun to the clerk nothing really happens. Plus I heard of some kind of 'target' button in the PS2 version of the game......

So basicly I can point the gun at anyone I want, but they don't hand me the cash you see :)

Thanks for thinking that I'm a complete moron... really appreciate it :p

Bind your buttons...

I've changed all the controls, sucks with the default layout, you don't know where everything is.

I thought it was sarcasm. You can never tell if its internet sarcasm. I see what you mean now though. You cant rob Ammunation because the guy has a gun, but the rest you can. Just get the guy in your crosshairs.

thought that would be comming next ;)

it's different to the PS2 version in that the PS2 has a "Target enemy" button which when pressed brings up a target reticule around the person you target and Tommy points his gun at them.

However the PC version doesn't seem to do this, instead there is a "target" button but it's for when you have the sniper or heavy machine gun, it basically switches to first person so you can aim.

For robberies i find that if you just stand infront of the person at the checkout and aim at them it'll work, you don't need to use first person, any gun will work just aim yer round targeting thingy at them. The money will start appearing at the checkout, if you're close to the checkout you'll collect the money automatically as it'll spawn on you.

But be warned that if you take the reticule off the clerk he'll sound the alarm and you'll get no more cash out of him ;)

Best one i found to start off with is the one on the western island by the police station on the main road because it's right near a Pay & Spray, perfect for escaping to ;)

  how do you rob someone?...is it a mission thing or can you do it on your 'own time'..?

you can do it when you want, and as many times as you want, the longer you aim at the clerk they more money & the more wanted levels you will get.

there are various stores dotted around the game, pharmacies are the most common i think

can't wait to get this game. i used to make maps for the original GTA, and GTA London, and i'm gonna give Vice City maps a go. It makes the game a bit more interesting once you complete it, because you can make your own missions and cars and pretty much everything you can change.

the worst missions are the vigilante, paramedic and firefighter missions where u have to get pass to level 12....

good luck with those...

For Vigilante, take the Hunter ("Apache")... it's easy. :)

Finish all the main missions and you will find one at the military base north of the airport.

Or if you have found the 100 hidden packages then you can find one on the helipad on Ocean Beach.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      The concern of this article is not getting "hacked". No one is taking over my Google account and anyone that was is far away from self-hosting their passwords. It was about your big tech account of choice deciding to reduce features or getting out of the password manager business altogether. Bitwarden (or say Proton) is professional security company offering opensource solutions. They are going no where and one can easily download or export their passwords to another password manager service regardless. They again also offer self-hosted option. I doubt many people were sold on this solution based on the write up. The author had a number of warnings and caveats themselves. A local, self-managed solution is not for 99% of users.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
