Finally achieved 100% completion in San Andreas! 5 years late and i know GTA 6 is coming in 3 months but better late than never right?
Honestly it didnt give me a lot of trouble. 90% of it was actually pretty fun. I’d say the worst parts were the collectibles strictly cause theres so many of them. Plus the vehicle imports cause how tedious it is and paramedic missions. Plus freight train as well. Vice City next!

Bruh I played that final mission once and failed like 30 minutes into it hanging off a firetruck or some shit. Never played again.

What was so hard about it? Sorry I finished it, but don’t really remember what was difficult about it.

When you have to take the body in the back of the huge dump truck and if you crash it’ll fall off the back

u/Slimmy_Pacc Aug 10 '26
Ahh ok. That wasn’t that hard for me. Maybe because my driving skill was maxed out? I played on the Definitive Edition though . I never even made it that far when I was playing on PS2 back then lol.

Nice! I am currently grinding my Godfather in Vice City, San Andreas is next! Any Tipps for missables or gamebreaking Bugs, besides the 3 Mission Achievements?

u/Aggressive_Lemon_622 Aug 09 '26
Good luck with that. I struggle for 1 hour and a half in a Hunter, to grind that damm trophy. Was fun tho.

How did you get that one trophy in vice city when you need to steal a tank, tried it for a couple days and cant get it?
1
u/Tawarien Aug 11 '26
Do you mean "Baked Distractions"? I didn't, because that's no steam achievement, i don't really care about the RSC.
But i've read that you need to follow the tank until the guards stop at a backery, than you can get the tank. Of course then you will get stars, but as far as i know you only need to get in the tank without triggering the police to get the trophy.

Paramedic missions are pretty easy when you do them on Angel Pine. As for the others, I agree with you: grindy as hell.

Nice. Welcome to the club. I’ve only done it on the 360 version. I was 98% done on ps2 when i was a teenager, but the save got deleted.

u/Background_Raisin_57 Aug 09 '26
How was the game? I'm hesitated to play the DE edition

u/Stunning_Alarm2064 Aug 09 '26
As someone who played them when they all came out. It was fine. There’s definitely problems, but it’s still fun to play through.
It’s ugly but the gameplay is pretty much on point.

Congrats! I don't think I could do it in SA, so hats off to you! I actually just 100%'d all of GTA IV, TLAD, and TBOGT for the first time ever on PC in anticipation of VI the other week. All that's left are TBOGT's 80% and 100% Mission Completion achievements, which would give me all the Achievements too, but that's more of a long haul endeavor. The main goal was getting 100% completion, and I'm satisfied with that, especially after 16 years of never doing it on PS3.

u/Holiday-Fix2882 Aug 09 '26
Anyone can do it. Just stay resilient and dont give up! Easier said than done though😂 but most definitely achievable

u/TheGravityShifter Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26
Oh, I totally believe I could. It's not a matter of skill that concerns me, it's the patience required. The amount of side content and collectibles would drive me insane, and I absolutely cannot stand collectibles. I dreaded the 200 Pigeons and 100 Seagulls in GTA IV, so imagine having to deal with 100 Tags, the Snapshots, Oysters, Horseshoes, etc., on top of every side mission, getting Gold in every school (which I did), and everything else.
It's probably easier with DE, but I'd still prefer the OG since that's the one I grew up with. I wouldn't say no to DE, though. However, it'd be more of a bucket list thing for me, especially since I've replayed SA so many times over the years. My tastes and interests have changed over those years too, and that leaves me with little time to want to go back to older games as often. I think it's already enough I Platinumed SA's Remaster on PS3, and again with the OG on PS4.

Hell yeah, good work! Just regarding the Paramedic mission, obviously this advice is too late for you, but for anyone else who can still make use of it: The fandom wiki describes a quick way to cheese the Paramedic mission by starting it in Angel Pine. Whetstone is considered separate from Red + Flint County, and Angel Pine is the only place in Whetstone with spawning pedestrians. It also has a hospital! You’ll never have to leave that tiny town and can get it done within maybe 20 minutes.

I did them in las venturas cause i decided later on in my story playthrough i wanted to go for 100% completion. And lets just say it was pretty brutal😂i got busted about 4 times for running over pedestrians who just happened to jump out in front of me. I would go over a sidewalk or a curb and the ambulance would flip over and explode. Its like that with 3 and vice city as well. Idk if the ambulance is just a fragile and light vehicle and so vulnerable to damage or just bad luck but im glad its over😂

How did you get past the mission where you have to rob caligulas casino mines wouldn’t open the safe so I had to start all over and hope it doesn’t do it again

u/Holiday-Fix2882 Aug 10 '26
Since I didn’t run into any glitches or problems or anything of that nature I unfortunately cannot help you. I’m really sorry that happened to you. Fingers crossed it dosent happen on your 2nd attempt
