Wow thats rather cool, you mean like any one of the random gang people around the city can do this?

As long as they belong to Grove Street, yeah.
Oh, thought some of you might be interested in the things you receive for completion.

Yeh, I knew all that already. Looked it up ages ago! :P
Dont think I'll ever get round to 100%ing it though. Rarely get round to playing games these days.

Concept man you killed it o_O!!! Fancy giving me your Memory CardOriginally posted by Concept
, sounds like they reward you with the ultimate 'free roam' package to lord it up in SA. With
Grove Street brothers could get organised, bring all the gangs together and got to war with the police. CAAAAAN YOOOOU DIIIIIG IIIIIIT!!!!!!?!Comment

If I had a proper connector to hook my memory card up to my USB port, I'd gladly upload my save, though if truth be told, there are bound to be saves that have got 100% in a far less shorter time frame and with immaculate stats/records in everything you care to think of. In comparison, I took my time with everything and mucked about for huge portions.
It's all about gambling now to try and up my money into the double figure million dollar region. Oh, and overtaking the occasional turf when the Ballas decide to step out of line.

yo concept, do you have 100% turf control? the Ballas and Vagos each have 1 left on mine, but i cant seem to see it anywhere on the map!Comment

I control 99%.
I've got two Vagos areas left irritatingly outside of Los Santos and over in the seaside port area on the West of the desert area of Las Venturas. There's supposed to be some kind of territory glitch where if you fly out to the sea for long enough and then die, the game screws up calculating where the territories are. This would be great if gang members spawned in these places, but for me they haven't. That means I can't get to 100% in terms of territory control.
Thankfully, gaining 100% territory control isn't a requirement to hitting 100% completion. Even if you do take over all territories you still get attacked and occasionally overtaken sometimes, meaning the turf wars are never quite over.
If it isn't the territory glitch affecting you then it could be that you're 'sharing' an area with gang, where although it's your colour (or theirs), both gangs exist in the same place.Comment

yeah i read about the turf glitch, if you do it another few gangs also appear.
But i thought that the ballas and vagos only occupied los santos?
and i dont think this is a problem, because one area looked a lighter shade of purple than usual, and thats a place where i died during a war.Originally posted by Concept
before going there, i checked my turf control and after winning the war, it was the same, so whether you win the war or die, it still registers on the stats as though youve won it, but it doesnt show up as your area on the map, might be a glitch or something.Comment

I also had a bit of a problem getting 100% territories.
One of the areas I had left was in Bayside Marina, north of San Fierro. Eventually after driving around town for what seemed like hours a couple of Ballas group members showed up not too far from the seafront. After provoking a turf war with them I was faced with just one wave of attacks and after that the territory was mine.
The other area I had problems with was a very thin strip of land in north Los Santos in the Temple/Mullholland area. Its almost too small to see on the map and is centred around what looks like a petrol station or diner. Took me aaaaages to find that bugger.
Thanks dude, will try that tomorrow.Originally posted by Concept
I love things like that. I also found that out completely by accident when taking photos of my gang members who, I only recently realised, will pose and wave at the camera when it's pointed at them.Originally posted by Concept
Its little touches like that which, although completely unecessary, make the game as special as it is.
Something else I only just discovered despite visiting the area dozens of times is the geyser in the desert area which shoots a column of water into the air every so often. Its also, I believe, the only place in the game where NPCs carry and actually use cameras, but I could be completely wrong on this.Comment

yeah i noticed that the other day and thought that Rockstar tried to pull a fast one on me!Originally posted by icarus0
actually, on the strip in las ventura, some tourists carry cameras, you had to kill one to get it in the casino blueprint mission.Originally posted by icarus0Comment

Of course - I'd forgotten all about that part. For some reason I remember very little about the actual missions; I was talking to a mate recently who is playing through the PC version and could only remember around half the missions he was telling me about.Originally posted by hasanhadi
I think I must have been in a mad rush to finish the story off so I could just play around with the whole map opened up.
And one more thing before I forget - has anybody else spotted a pedestrian in San Fierro wearing a box on his head and a piece of cardboard around his torso with the words "God is playing with us" scrawled on it?
Very clever.Comment

I dont get it? Sounds funny but whats the joke?Comment
-
Maybe I'm looking into it a bit too much, but I thought it might have been a reference to how the player was 'God' and was quite literally playing with the characters in the game and also a nod to the people who used to walk around town centres wearing the 'the end is nigh' sandwich boards.
The bloke himself is funny though what with the box on head, cardboard wrapped around his body and, IIRC, bandages over his hands and arms. Well worth tracking down.Comment
-
Amazing. Sounds interesting. I've been meaning to put the game on again for ages to just muck about with.
Its full of crazy wee things like that, Rockstar really are genii.Comment

the game gets kinda boring once you take over all the turf areas
just dating my ladies and trying to get them to 100%
1 girl left - its all about the flowers and the dildo's
