GTA SA 100% completion

[Erkki]

I've done everything on this list, but my completion percentage is 99,47% ...

Is there something I'm missing? Perhaps I need to take over all the gang territories? Or date all the girls? Get all the jumps? (I've found all the jumps, but there are 3 that I haven't been able to complete and the worst part of it is that I'm not sure which ones they are)

[Erkki]

Oh, actually it's possible I haven't done one of these:

<li>8-Track (Los Santos)

<li>Blood Bowl (this the one in Fierro where you have to get the red markers before time runs out?)

<li>Dirt Track (Las Venturas) (where's this? maybe I haven't done this?)

<li>Kickstart (This the Sanhcez one where you have to collect green,orange,red markers for points?)

Have you also taken over the gang territory in um... oh that little town where the boat school is? Bayside or whatever it's called. That might do it.

Dirt Track and Kickstart are both at the Las Venturas stadium, but you can only do them on certain days (I can't remember which days, sorry). Have you unlocked a big red dune truck at the LV stadium? That would tell you if you've done them both I believe.

Hope that helps.

wow...how long have you been playing?

Thanx, I think I'm missing Dirt Track. The 100% completion guide on gamefaqs said it's open on two days only (wednesdays and mondays).

I didn't know there's a gang territory in Bayside. will check it out.

Him or me?

[Ryam BaCo]

Him or me?

him. (for this almost 100 % completion percentage)

[Erkki]

wow...how long have you been playing?

The stats say 84 hours... hmmm...

I think it would have taken longer to get this far had I not already played it on the PS2 (not 100% though).

[Erkki]

TADAA! It's done. The reward was shitty though. Some cash I think, "stats boosted" (din't notice, possibly had the ones that were supposed to be upgraded already maxed), and the only good thing: tank and that military plane delivered to grove street.

To paraphrase Vice City: "I completed GTA San Andreas and didn't even get a lousy T-shirt."

Which is the irony of 100% completion:

You get the stats, weapons and viechles, but you don't need them anymore.

Yeah, there should at least be a couple of "bonus missions" or something. And even the T-shirt in Vice City was "something". At least you could put it on while cruising around the town in a Freeway and listening to your favourite tracks.

Wow, and to think that I never did anything more than beat the story in any of the GTAs...

i don't know that much about san andreas, but how many people would finish it with 100 % completion? and would the amount of work invested into bonus missions be valuable for these (i guess...) very few people?

[Bud Muhnquai]

With a couple of good maps it's possible to 100% the game in a weekend, so it isn't really much of an investment. The missions throughout are embarrasingly easy with a few stinkers thrown in to make it feel like a challenge - the most difficult missions don't even further the story, but are required for 100%. The bonus missions, such as they are, are more like search and find than actual missions though.

I think if you're prepared to play through the 100ish missions, you may as well collect everything - it doesn't add a shocking amount of time onto the game so why not? Maps are readily available and it will at least show you most of the game world in a way you wouldn't have viewed it during the missions.

As disappointing as San Andreas was (I'm a GTA fan boy), the game world is incredibly satisfying (to me) to just pootle around in and have fun with - the missions are a tedious distraction that stop me getting to the real fun of looking at everything and listening to everyone. But that's investing your time in another way completely.

For the record, I've gotten 100% twice.

(Just as a side note, I just managed to glitch my game so that whenever you try to buy clothing, scrolling down through the clothes makes you exit the wardrobe. You can still buy clothes, but you can't ever leave the store, or more to the point the dressing room.)

I don't really see the point of making it to 100 % , other than bragging rights what is the point ? Finishing the story would be good enough for me.
