"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

Edited by FudgeMonkey

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.

i've done all the missions i can find except the boat dock and the cherry popper... may've been posted, but this is a looong thread... how do you do deals with the icecream truck? there's no blip to go to.. i drove all around the city, parked in areas to get people to come by.. but nothing..

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
