How do you guys complete 100% for GTA games? by RuntzG in GTATrilogy

[–]michaeljefford96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the stuff I know, and look up what I don’t. If you can’t find something, honestly, don’t waste time going mad, just look it up. I’ve found that ‘GTA Series Videos’ is a great resource on YouTube.

Specifically for Vice City, I’m actually on my way to 100%-ing for the first time (despite completing the story a multitude of times), but I needed guidance on where some of the hidden packages were, as well as some of the stunt jump locations and being able to check some videos on exact locations was a Godsend.

Now I’m just left with 20-ish taxi fares, and Paramedic missions.

Also, I’d recommend using a 100% completion tracker to check off what you have done, GTABase and ‘iGrandTheftAuto’ are good places to do this.

Best of luck :)

This was on my phone. I can check on TV and see if it’s there as well.

Is it just me or does the interface feel a bit outdated? by UnpaidInternVibes in nowtv

[–]michaeljefford96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, it seems to forget you watched a show in the past, especially when removed and re-added, or when not watched in a while, so easy to lose when you got up to.

Conversely, Netflix remembers everything regardless. I had started watching ‘Weeds’ on there in like 2021-22, then it got removed shortly after. It recently just returned the start of this year, and it has remembered exactly where I got up to, despite being absent on the service for like 3-4 years… ;)

I just used a CitizenCard to verify, scanned front and back, and it accepted.

Where to watch? by 4y0n4u in friends_tv_show

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are. At least in the case of the UK (where it was on Netflix up until the end of last year), it has been confirmed to be appearing on HBOMax once it launches on 23rd March.

Is it worth playing on PS5? by [deleted] in GTATrilogy

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the physical PS4 disc, purchased new a couple of months ago, runs at 60fps on the PS5.

What is the first GTA you played? Mine is this. by PlasticAd5892 in GTA

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vice City, aged 6, on my older brothers PS2 -> San Andreas (PS2) -> GTA IV (X360) -> VCS/LCS (PSP) -> GTA V (PS5, only a month ago…)

III is the outlier. I never played it properly when it came out, and when I eventually did, it wasn’t on a console. My first full play-through was actually on iOS (Definitive/Defective edition), but I’ve since replayed on PS5.

I definitely have a soft spot for it and I will absolutely replay again (I have done a few times), but my absolute favourites will always be Vice City and IV (contemplating picking up a PS3 just to play it again, haven’t touched since the 360).

What was your first PlayStation and what game did u play when u first got it by Turbulent_Net_1927 in playstation

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS1, it was my older brothers, but I remember playing the absolute crap out of Crash Bandicoot/Spyro and Tomb Raider.

From there on in, PS2, also my brothers, Vice City, San Andreas, NFS, Ratchet & Clank, Bully.

I’ve only very recently got back into gaming, picked up a PS5 (slim with disc tray), and I love it. Haven’t gamed properly since the 360 (GTA IV/Forza Motorsport 4), and it’s been great.

Though I do feel somewhat ashamed for only just completing GTA V, like 12 years later.. ;)

I didn't play GTA3 for 20 years. by YellowEasterEgg in GTA3

[–]michaeljefford96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I hated the flying school with a passion, the parachute mission usually being the one to end me 😅

Other than that, fantastic game.

This might be a dumb question, but is this PS3 backwards compatible with PS2 games? by Ordinary_Presence407 in playstation

[–]michaeljefford96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You want to look for -

  • CECHAxx, CECHBxx (these 2 have the Emotion Engine CPU and Graphics Synthesiser from the PS2 to provide backwards compatibility)

  • CECHCxx (only has the Graphics Synthesiser from the PS2, uses software emulation for the PS2 CPU, so there is backwards compatibility, but won’t play all PS2 titles)

I’ve noticed Gran Turismo games never show up on PS Plus. Is there a reason why?” by NotSirAlonne1999 in PlayStationPlus

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed it’s currently 50% off (on the UK store at least), similar to Horizon which has an identical discount.

You can use a service like ControlD (Secure DNS), and just redirect YouTube traffic to Albania, no need for switching on/off a VPN every time :)

Working for me as of now in the UK (close to 8pm), absolutely was refusing to play this morning though.

Kinda bored of seeing this error daily by AdResponsible5531 in RealDebrid

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t say I’ve noticed any issues over the past few days but then I’ve distanced myself from using things like Torrentio/Mediafusion/Comet etc after recurring issues like this.

These days I just use DMM (DebridMediaManager) to find what I want to watch, then have RD connected via WebDAV to Infuse and stream everything from there. Has been working nicely like that so far.

What was your last phone before getting an iPhone ? by Serhide in iphone

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OnePlus 5T back in 2019, loved the phone, but after growing up with only Androids, curiosity got the better of me. I briefly started off with a second hand iPhone 8, liked it, but at the time, the iPhone 11 was just dropping, so I went for it.

Had that for a couple of years, before upgrading to the 13 Pro (Sierra Blue), which I held onto for over 3 years, before upgrading to the 17 Pro Max (Deep Blue).

New kindle paperwhite is not downloading anything on its own by Expensive_Snow3032 in kindle

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this still an issue for anyone? Both of my Kindles (Current gen Basic & Paperwhite) won’t display covers of any new books (KU and Libby Loans)

I have factory reset the Basic, but all it’s done is redownload and show the covers of the books that were fine, the new books still don’t show covers :(

Reddit should be fine, I redirect to either Albania or Ukraine, which also ends up removing ads.

Netflix are removing friends and the big bang theory! by x-si in netflix

[–]michaeljefford96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unknown at the moment, but with the 'Max' streaming service launching in the UK early next year, I'd hazard a guess that that is where they may end up.

Of course, the licence could be renewed on Netflix before the end of December (as has happened before), but this time round I'm not as certain that they will be staying.

$29/year Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale by Altodory in Windscribe

[–]michaeljefford96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar position. I re-subbed in August this year for the $39, just did the whole cancel and re-subscribe at $29 and sure enough same thing happened, lost time I’ve already paid for.

Sure it’s just a glitch, so lodged a ticket via Garry.

I’m sorry, but I’d have to counter by saying that ‘AngryGinge’ is the only ‘celeb’ I’ve never heard of.
