20 fires put out on Portland and Staunton

50 taxi fares dropped off so far (I'll finish them tonight, but it's boring)

Eh gotta do something with COVID and the world burning

I'm doing Rockstar (on console) and Bethesda games (on PC)

Nice, I recently did 100% GTA 3 for the first time and it was actually pretty fun.

San Andreas isn't too bad actually, just takes a little time. Especially since you can cheese the ambulance/ police/ fire fighter missions in the country.

I personally think 80% of the side content in these games is garbage though. I got 100% on VC, SA, VCS, and RDR at different points in life. RDR was probably the most enjoyable one, as treasure maps were a surprisingly fun test of my knowledge of the game world and the side quests were fairly amusing.

I have enough practice on it that it really wasn't that difficult. If you do it in Portland right away it's not too bad unless you get spawns in the 2 bad RNG spots (the park in Chinatown or the overpass in Hepburn Heights)

If you get a lot of spawns in Saint Marks and Trenton you're good because the hospital is so close to them

The hardest mission for me so far was Waka Gashira Wipeout

I think I tried that mission 3 or 4 times before finally getting it completed

I beat GTA 3 a few years ago and Espresso To Go wasn't that terrible, you just have to use the BP Patriot and have a route going into it.

The rampages are probably the hardest thing in the game TBH. Especially on Shoreside Vale, but the game gets easier when you get all of the hidden packages.

Also, consider adding Chinatown Wars to your list. It's a surprisingly decent game imo, and the only top down GTA I've actually enjoyed. The map is a 2d recreation of GTA4's map.

I have a DS and a PSP which one should I get it for?

I played it on DS, but the graphics are probably sharper on PSP. IIRC there wasn't any good touch screen integration so I'm guessing the PSP will offer a better overall experience with the bigger screen.

Edit: I also think the 100% is pretty quick in this one. I did it as a kid come to think of it.

I may check it out eventually

I'm going to do the big open world games in order. I may throw LA Noire in there just for fun depending on my mood

Yeah, maybe near the tail end or something. After GTA4 and the two DLCs, you'll probably want to move on from LC for a while lol.

I tried doing a 100% on GTA3 on my 2nd time playing the game. I had everything done on the 1st two islands and started the nines side mission on the 3rd island. I already beat the game and my 1st run I did the nines mission. Didn't know about the nines glitch and cause of that glitch I couldn't pass any of the nines missions on my try. Was so upset and never tried the 100% run again.

Ive got 100% on every GTA game. The one thing I promised myself Id never do again was shooting those 200 damn pigeons on GTA IV. Never again.
