In this thread just post all of your questions and tip for the game. I'd be very thankfull if someone could answer my questions.

1) How can CJ die? Does this mean when you get 100% you have to start all over again?

2) I want to rob a house, how do I get the van?

3) I've just finished doing the missions for the Policemen and im 13% complete, is there still loads more to come because I dont want it to end.

4) I heard (when the game wasn't out) that there would be a Hollywood kinda place (Vinewood I think) and there would be stars and s**t, but when I go there it's crap, just a small little town with a few buildings.

5) I cant go any further than LOS SANTOS (and part of the countryside), what do I have to do to get further? I can even go to the other Feira (sp?) city.

6) What is your most interesting part of the map?

7) Me and my friend keep arguing about this : He thinks LAS SANTOS is bigger than LAS VENTURAS, is it?

8) I want to buy a property, what would you say is the best safehouse around LOS SANTOS?

9) I dont seem to get any money for most of the missions I do, when will I start doing some missions and getting paid for it?

10) Can you rob resturaunts in San Andreas? You could in Vice City but I cant seem to do it.

This game has really lived up to it's hype and i'm loving every minute of it.

I've played a solid 10 hours of this game today and I think thats going a bit OTT so i've started to only play it every now and then just so I enjoy the most of it.

So, if you've got any questions or tips for people, post'em here!

He dont die you tool, GTA is a success because of the free roaming ability after the game, you really think they'd kill of the main character

Dont know try the lockup where you put those crates

Well of course if youve only done 13% a full 87% left

Yes it is crap at the start but you become involved in the industry like in Vice City...I think

Like the previous GTA games you must do a certain amount of mission to unlock the areas

> 6) What is your most interesting part of the map?

Dont care

No, look in your San An box with the giant poster/map

You dont really need one as all you missions are near you 'free' safehouse

Like Vice City, more side missions more money e.g. controlling the casinos...eventually

Well, kinda...

Go in one of the shops ( that let you go inside ) and aim at the shopkeeper, he'll start to give you money.

I did not know about the oysters, you must be quick I suppose your breath runs out in about 3 seconds. Rather annoying when your fleeing the police boats after a killing spree on Verona Beach

You can build up your stamina which makes you able to swim underwater longer.. I thinks

YOu build up stamina to run faster and stuff and you increase your lung capacity to stay underwater longer... I think.

when u work out and increase ure stats and swim about, especially underwater ure lung capacity gets bigger so you can stay under longer, i am at about 5-7 seconds.
