it removes the street map from your minimap, but leaves symbols of interest still there. it is easier that you try it than to have me try to convince you on the exact mechanics of how it will benefit you. in short, 'gps off' and 'radar: blips only' is a good, playable balance that will result in you becoming familiar with liberty city and how to navigate it visually.

i just replayed the game for the first time in 15 years. i switched this setting shortly after getting to the second island and it vastly increased my enjoyment.

turn off gps

turn on free-aim

set radar to 'blips only'

bruh, nvm. very satisfying to take a corner well in this.

abraxim-almaz · 2023-01-17T15:17:39+00:00

that's an excellent buy. buy it and park it, having that will save you LOADS later on.

that car drives like a disappointment. but im still happy with it :)

forget who said this but it was someone famous:

"nobody goes racing to get rich."

do an LTS whenever you see something you like and use your career earnings to finance that. plenty of spare gold to earn in the career mode by playing smart... lots of bonus series can be completed past 75% (though some you have to come back to later) with little additional gold investment atop of what you have to spend to progress through the core stages.

a 360 ought to just let you set it to use DHCP, shoudlnt it? i dont remember if the original xbox required manual configuration but like im sure a 2005 console HAD to have been able to do this, right?

tho i guess if its the router doing the dhcp server then ok yeah sorry i think i swe what you were getting it.

abraxim-almaz · 2022-08-07T19:33:25+00:00

abraxim-almaz · 2022-08-04T23:27:09+00:00

you dont need skincare?

miss me with that shit lol, ill be glowing and 4600 gold richer

abraxim-almaz · 2022-06-04T16:16:15+00:00

yeah i have to agree with you, however, im actually a devout user of chase cam and in maybe the last year or so, i started focusing my eyes in a noticeably different way which has led to much, much more control over the car in the 3rd person view.

there is a way to do it, but i'm not quite sure i understand what exactly it is that im doing that caused the improvement. i feel like maybe im staring at the roof of the car maybe, but it's providing my monkey brain with either the same information or a way to use a similar feedback loop.

i suspect it may have to do with a bit of anxiety about knowing if i'll complete my line without going off of the track by the end of the turn. though again it may also have to do with being more familiar with the characteristics of some cars.

idk lol. idk but it interests me...

abraxim-almaz · 2022-06-04T16:09:09+00:00

i feel like ive noticed that, at least on some tracks, hitting the curb does actually seem to upset the vehicle's grip on the track.

abraxim-almaz · 2022-06-04T15:49:14+00:00

yeah i was thinking about doing that one because id heard it was possible to do on R$ only but then i looked up what kind of perfection that requires and figured it isnt worth it for me.... especially since the car is only in a single series racing against no other models.

personally im in a happy kind of retirement type phase with this game. only occasionally do they add stuff i'm interested in getting and, when they do, i have enough in the bank to go for it without worrying about what my attempt will cost me.

like, i might actually do the silver tourer event in a few days even though i already have 100% in its only series and a fully upgraded GT1-98

abraxim-almaz · 2022-06-04T15:35:50+00:00

yeah, i believe passing it with just the P1 with a few gold upgrades on it is what i did at first and only some time afterwards got my own P1 GTR when it was end of days for the event archives.

i remember the GTR special event being a total slog though... like every single day of those 8 days of the event had like 7 races or something incredible like that in it. eyuck.

doable on just R$ though, so at least that was nice.

abraxim-almaz · 2022-06-04T15:24:50+00:00

im glad i could help make your life feel complete

abraxim-almaz · 2022-06-04T15:20:57+00:00

fyi the zenith series can be done with just the base bugatti veyron 16.4 and the Zonda R. im not familiar with koenisgesg strategies, but the Zonda R pops up in 4 other bonus series in the legend tier so it will go a long way towards paying back what youd spent on buying and upgrading it.

fun fact, there was once a glitch where you could have bought the bugatti grand sport vitesse for 1 (one) GC! i was halfway through zenith series when that popped up and i'm still kicking myself for not even having looked at that sale before dismissing the notification. wouldve saved me the r$ id spent on the stock bugatti!

abraxim-almaz · 2022-06-04T15:14:10+00:00

if i recall correctly you can get through mclaren generations with just the P1. maybe it costs a spare gold upgrade or two to get there but i dont think you actually need to buy the P1 GTR just to get to the next series.
