it triggers alderney, not algonquin. he probably just forgot which was which

Yeah.

I think meeting Dwayne or something triggers Algonquin, doesn't it?

No, the end of Dimitri/Faustin missions, when he burns your house down and shit, isn't it? Or is that for Bohan? Man, it confuses me because I keep thinking there's only 3 "places" in this (Alderney, Algonquin and Bohan), but there's also Broker or w/e it is. Gah.

bohan and broker are available from the begining. algonquin is unlocked when you give playboy x a lift over to his apartment at the end of one of elizabeta's missions. alderney is unlocked, as far as i could tell, when derrick mcreary is smacked out on a bench in a park near the south of that area.

Nah, Alderney is after you do Three-Leaf Clover, where you rob the bank with Packie.

hey speaking of packie, does anyone here besides me dislike him and his entire family?

i think you actually get the call that derrick is in alderney right after that mission so i think we're talking about the same point


also about the mcrearies - yeah they are all assholes except kate. she's just kind of irritating and weak but at least she's nice and not a raging prick. this game starts off with many strong characters which i liked to watch a lot - roman, jacob, mallorie, brucie, elizabeta - but they all either fade into the background or just disappear only to be replaced with a bunch of gross macho dickheads from crime families

seriously the drop off in quality is really disappointing. i have stopped playing this now but i was just skipping cutscenes for the last dozen or so missions.

Yeah I agree and a lot of people do. The game gets SO disappointing at the end, it goes downhill. And all the great characters disappear pretty much after you complete their missions.

You don't interact with them at all pretty much once you move to a new island, etc.


Also, as for Packie, I do like him better than Brucie. I don't get all the BRUCIE IS THE BEST. I mean he's quite the character and insane, but I like Packie better.

Just finished GTA4, which would have to be the most time I've ever spent on a console game. Also pretty much the most fun I've ever had playing a open ended game or "Next-Gen" title in general. But now that I'm done, like with any game I beat my purpose is empty. I'm on PS3 so I won't get any episodic content, and no one ever plays online.

Sucks my GTA life is over.

I liked the McReary family in general, they had so much shit going on, their story played out to me like some sort of Irish mob movie. Thanks to Niko so much shit blows up in their faces. In one month their whole family is pretty much dead. Just curious, which brother did you kill? I chose the cop since he seemed to be the more corrupt, more fucked up arrogant prick.

I went the REVENGE ending route and the whole thing where Kate gets killed was fuckin crazy for me. Too bad I felt the ending was kinda empty.

I also killed the cop.  He annoyed the hell out of me.

I hated the ending.  It doesn't really matter if you chose Deal or Revenge, you still get fucked over in the end. 

Is it just me or does having to constantly please your friends get on the annoying side, and if you choose not to go on a date or whatever their like or respect goes down heaps!

if they ask you to do something with them, always accept. you can call back a second later and tell them you're busy and your respect points or whatever won't go down.

man so OFFTOPIC but finally got san andreas and jesus fucking christ this game is huge.

seriously I have no idea how it fits on one disc it's like three times the size of vice city already and I just got into San Fierro.

my favorite part of san andreas was just sort of going on scenic motorcycle rides through the mountain countryside

yeah this is the thing i miss the most from san andreas. the thing i liked best about it was being able to just hold down the drive button for like 3 minutes and not move your controller, you'd just go. it was fun to cruise around in huge open landscapes and not need to do hard brakes for 90 degree turns every 8 seconds.

It was nice to do that stuff and kind of a bummer that it was cut out when you consider how little work it takes to build vast countrysides full of hilly terrain.  Driving a speedboat into the sunset just doesn't have the same charm.
