the last mission
"hit the ramp at full speed"
on a motercycle, in the sand, in the dark, with the stress of keeping up with said character im chasing
i go for the ramp, fall in the water...FAIL THE MISSION
well i guess im doing this mission ALL FUCKING OVER AGAIN
*edit* tried again, hit the ramp wrong again, jimmy got away
i knew this mission was going to suck ass but fuck, because i can't hit a goddamn ramp, thats literally the only part im having problems with.
the first SUPER LONG chase is easy, the outside gunfights are easy, the inside gunfights are easy, the second set of outdoor gunfights are easy, rocket launcher the car, take the motor cycle, keep up with the target, easy so far, setting myself up for that ramp at full speed while driving on sand, FUCK THAT.
rockstar, throw me a fucking bone, save the damn game at the motorcycle part.
im almost ready to snap my gta 4 disk in half at this point.
*edit* the third and fourth attempts were at trying to get across the roof and shooting down rather than heading down the ladder to chase the target, but apparently rockstar wants you to play the mission their way (unlike in the previous games where you could be creative to beat a mission) and put a fuckton of enemies on said roof, and i died both times due to that.
anyway, im paused on the fifth attempt a little bit before the reinforcements come in via car. i will probably scream when i miss the fucking ramp AGAIN, but i will keep editing as it keeps my anger level down.
*edit* hit the ramp, got on the helicoptor, killed target, ffs the only hard part was knowing where the ramp was beforehand.
anyway frustration aside, the mission was pretty cool, and epic and the like.
first grand theft auto game ive completed, i get frustrated easily so don't mind my venting, the game is great.

i mean sure katie died, but whatever. roman is married and having a kid, and thats basically all i wanted to happen.
*another edit*
since i beat the game, i activated the "free one month of xbl gold" card that came with the game and played a few games
deathmatch is fun, but oddly enough, i enjoy team deathmatch more. while in say ut2k4 i prefer the straight up 8-16 player deathmatch, this game is designed a little more towards teamwork to get the most done.
not that the team i was on did any such "teamwork" but the other team had a fucking bus with several people in that shooting me up real good. i foresee this gametype being made of nothing but awesome if you get a few people together to cooperate.
after that, i tried a few races(standard races...not the "do anything to win" races) and when you are driving fast cars, these are quite fun. when you are driving motorcycles...its just painful, mainly because they are harder to drive than a suped up sports car, or even a van for that matter.
but anyway, this may be the game i end up possibly renewing the xbl gold account for. till then, i have a free month, and i will enjoy it to the best of my ability.
*editsssss*
ok i did a few team deathmatch games with a friend of mine, so the games were like 2v2v2v2. and from that experiance, i can safley say, the multiplayer is surprisingly awesome, and worth getting xbl gold for.
i mean, even in the player lobby where you invite friends too before you join a game, theres weapon spawns and you can even dick around killing eachother before you decide on what gametype to join.
everybody wanted a multiplayer gta(gta 3 on) game, its here, and its damn good.
and im done editing because i created a HUEG WALL OF TEXT TLDR YADDA YADDA
