OK.. lets get down to it.

First off, there was no sarcasm in my last post. Trust me.

The majority of the people (mainly new people I might add) struggle with certain missions.. paramedics for example.. rampages, even unique jumps.. There are many saves out there with specific items complete.. my aim was to complete every item that can be done without touching the storymode [which I have previously stated]. Giving these new people (my target audience) a helping hand by completing various tasks.. Most of the stuff that has been completed can be redone again if the user feels they need to accomplish this.. The only tasks users cant redo are rampages/packages.

This is an option.. People don't have to take it, its here for others who are quickly going through storymode.. You seem to touch on weapons, why not the other rewards? 150 health or more body armour that I have won? longer sprint aswell? 3 key assets to making the game a lot easier.

I also should point out, yes you can go to ammunation for weapons, but at the start of the game all you can buy is a bat.. a pistol a few missions in.. With this save, you can go to your safe house and pull out an AK47/Uzi... I know what sounds more appealing to me.

My intention was never to share this, it was mainly for myself.. But after looking through the various saves on the Vice City area I see a gap in the market, no-one has ever completed this (Well a release of it anyway).. (A guy attempted it at GTAgarage.com but didnt do asmuch as I)

Following my success of Grand Theft Auto III's ultimate save (link found in my signature) I pushed ahead an got this completed.. If you take a look at that thread, many people downloaded it and used it.. left good comments in return.. If you find this useless, that's fine but that is just your opinion.. You may be this hardcore GTA who thinks "why buy a game if you cant complete it yourself?" an I couldnt agree more, but for people who are going through it their 4th/5th/6th/etc time and have already completed all the side extras.. who wouldnt want to skip it?

I know in around 6 months time when I go through all the GTA's again I will be using all 3 of my ultimate saves, I don't plan on ever viewing another hidden package again...it's boring.

fair enough

[Spuds725]

I play on PS2-- I keep a save with paramedic and taxi done already (I did them)-- this is so I won't put myself through 2+ hours of boring/stress-- paramedic isn't too bad for me now, but taxi is so boring and long.

I enjoy doing everything else in the game---

[(Del)]

Oh I feel you there Spud.. This is one of the main reasons I made this save, so one day in the future I can skip all the side crap an get down to the storymode.. Though once ive gone through all 3 games then onto IV. (I have it already, but havent played it much..)

And what is the point of playing the game, in your opinion? What is the point of playing the game? To have fun, obviously. Just how is having someone else do all the other stuff for you 'fun'?

Frankly, I dont understand people who download such saves myself. I thought that you were asking what is the point of doing all the "side stuff" before the storyline.


On the separate note, I found a glitch related to the master saves in VC. If I remmember correctly, on the table in your Ocean View Hotel is supposed to be a broken hidden package, after you have found all of them. Well, I collected all 100 one of the first things in game, but now, when I completed the first story mission, its not there. Maybe it did not spawn because I collected them too early... I dont really remember if there was to be any other easter eggs for the side missions in this Hotel or they will show in the Vercetti Estate, but the room in the Hotel is empty.
Anyway, weapon picups for the packages are there, so its no such a problem.

EDIT: broken hidden package on the table in Ocean View Hotel has showed up after completing the Rub Out mission.

How do i download the file to gta vice city

Just click the link-- on the page it opens click on the save slot you want to save it to... (all the saves are the same, just the file names are different).

Save it in your save file directory -- should be under my documents/GTA User files/......

(something to that effect) and when promted to replace the existing file, click yes.

Load up the game and load up that save to play it.

there was something i noticed about your starter save.. the stat for "PCJ Playground" wasn't right (it shows "0:338").. and the only reason why it wasn't right is because, maybe, you used the GTA VC Admin Console when you did it, and you weren't able to set the time to a more realistic setting..

anyway, your starter save is good overall, and i respect you for doing it to help others who have a hard time completing the "side stuffs".. but if i were to play it, i would be bothered to have a "damaged" stat.. peace out! =)

What's GTA VC Admin Console?

[Ceres071706]

it's a tool developed by Saracoglu.. well, maybe you didn't use it.. hehe..

but dude, your "PCJ Playground" stat really isn't right.. check it..

hmmm.. what do you think could have caused it?

[(Del)]

Well, no I never used it lol.. infact I didnt use any mods or addons.. and I can't currently check the file.. I've just come back from a reformat around 15 days ago and havent bothered loading on the games yet.. but I'll take your word for it.

Hmm, Im honestly not sure what could have caused it.. I do remember I had a lot of trouble with the top vans and some helicopters.. I had to take other ones and park them in spots, get out, get in.. and the stats wouldnt register.. Spud also knows about this. Perhaps the game messed up? Your guess is as good as mine.. I'll install Vice City in the next 48 hours, and check it out.

hmmm.. then maybe the game messed up.. hehe.. i just saw it a while ago when i checked your save file..

[(Del)]

lol oh right, im surprised people even looked at this.. as you can see from the thread.. a few people thought it was a waste of time.. so yeah, feedback aint been great

[Ceres071706]

hehe.. you know, some people just don't know how to appreciate efforts.. i just don't understand those people..

i mean, it's very simple.. if they don't like these "starter saves", then they could just ignore them.. what's the point in saying bad words against them?

[(Del)]

lol exactly.. Thats one of the main reason I dont go near the GTA IV board on this site, I get so angry at the petty comments.

And on that note, im gonna have to hit the sack.. I haveto get up in 3 hours to go to the beach. anything to keep her happy lol, night.

[Dark_side646]

Hey Del. Congrats again. BTW, how did you do the Firefighter mission? IIRC, theres no firetruck on the east side and you can't use the one on the west side before it gets officially unlocked.

[(Del)]

Thanks.

And I think you're mistaken.. There is firetrucks, well.. from what I remember, I could be wrong..

I'm actually in the process of getting ready to go through Vice City again tomorrow, I'll have to look into it.

[Dark_side646]

Sorry to correct you my friend, but you ARE wrong. I've searched the entire east island and there is absolutely NO spawn point for the firetruck. Tell me about it if, by chance, I'm wrong.
Another thing, will you be making ultimate starters for the others GTAs too?

[Alk]

sure you can... just do the molotov rampage in ocean beach. and then a firetruck will come...

Oh is that the way. I did read up on a lot of tricks and tips when I made it. Could of been that one.

As for the other GTAs, I have one for GTA III (link in my signature).

Edit: the first post download link now updated (it was a broken link)
