I forgot about the Banshee. My policy is to always have a Banshee or a Turismo outside each safehouse.

I have a Banshee and a Coquette sitting outside my Algonquin houses, but I don't drive them because I've never found any others and I don't want to lose them. :-P And Steve's Comet that I got from the races just disappeared from outside my Bohan house sad

Just did 3 Leaf Clover, good but not as amazing as I was hoping. First good use of grenades for me though. And I've finally unlocked Alderney. happy

I think the Infernus is unique. So be careful with that one.

I kept that Comet too, but I moved mine to my Algonquin safehouse as soon as Roman bought it for us. Its undergone about 4 pay'n'spray jobs, evaded countless stars, and guided me through all but two Kiki dates (she said I was struggling when I picked her up in a Sabre GT! and was unimpressed at a Turismo... plain )

Maybe some Bohan scumbag stole it while you were off commiting crimes? tongue Thats the excuse I'd go with. Makes it sound like it was planned rather than just a glitch wink

It disappeared before I even got the Algonquin house. But that seems the most likely explanation yes. Must've been a spree because my other car (the strip club owner's ute from the Dwayne mission) was gone as well.

Also go to bed, don't you have school tomorrow? :-p

Sorry...

Yeah I've got a PS3, I thought I already told you that?

PSN is identical to my username here, send me an invite when you get the chance mate wink



EDIT: Just to get back to the topic at hand, who has been your favourite McReary to work with so far guys? Patrick, Francis, Derrick or Gerry (I think that's correct)

I've only done anything for Packie yet, and Francis, so I'd say Packie. Francis is just annoying as hell.

Or to put it another way, did you kill Derrick or Francis?

I killed Francis - Don't really know why, other than that I disliked the idea of Francis asking me to kill Derrick - Derrick wanted me to protect him, as such.

Oh, spoilers above...

"Packie is Dead."

You know what, Packie? How about you stick behind cover until it's CLEAR, rather than running into the middle of a ****ing firefight, blindly firing a ****ing shotgun at guys 50 yards away?

First couple of missions, Packie's a complete d***. I've definitely warmed to him since then. I prefer to think it's because he's gotten off the blow.

Doesn't change the fact that he's a complete dumbass in a firefight, though:

I'd made two attempts at the mission where you go to the warehouse with Packie and his two buddies to snatch the duffel bag full of cash. First attempt, we were almost out of the warehouse when Packie went nuts, ran out from cover, and literally stood in the open firing his shotgun around.

I desperately ran out, and tried to kill the remaining enemies in the warehouse, only to get the dreaded "Packie is Dead" message.

Next time through, I'm really paranoid about Packie. I figure I'll sacrifice some more of my own safety to try to keep the dumb Mick alive. We're going through the shootout outside the warehouse, and Packie -- like the dumbest mother****er ever -- is STANDING OUT IN THE OPEN while two guys are firing at him from cover about five feet away.

He can't shoot them, and I can't get an angle on them. I brilliantly decide to lob a grenade over the cover to kill them both. I not-so-brilliantly ding it off the front of the cover they're using, and it lands at Packie's feet.

Luckily, I threw it early, so Packie has a good 3-4 seconds to stand there staring at the thing that landed at his feet before it blows him to ****.

Packie is dead.

I never had a problem on Packie's 3 "heist" jobs.


The main problem was that I kept dying.

Did anyone else feel that after all the awesomeness that wa this game, that the final mission(whatever you chose to do with "the deal") was an utter and compete letdown?

I thought it was far, far, far to easy, and the ending cutscene for both scenarios lacked any emotion at all compared to the rest of the game being packed with it.
