Title: This Is The Most Retarded Thing In The Game
Post by: grifter66 on July 19, 2005, 06:27:00 PM
I have had this game since it's release date and I still have yet to find out what day it is in the game. So my question is this:]
Why was this feature added? They should have left this aspect out of it and kept directly to the timed or straight missions/other stuff.

At least in the missions that you have to do at a certain time, you can look at the in game clock (I.E. Come back between 6:00 and 20:00), but IThere is absolutly 0 (ZERO) way of knowing what day it is in the game. No clock, calendar anywhere..No nothing...It's The instruction manual/strat guide doesn't explain how you are supposed to know

So they left you to guess. (That's how I have been finding everything, By sheer luck, Saving in a save house 2-3 times in a row and then checking the spot, and by guessing)

I'm sorry but, I find it pointless to add a feature to a game and then not allow you any way of knowing how or leaving a way for you to check it.

What's the deal with this.

Next time you play this game, check your stats with the L trigger and stare long and hard at that pop-up box.   On one of the upper corners I believe you should see a "MON","TUE","WED,"THU","FRI","SAT", or "SUN".  It's very easy to tell what day it is and there are certain activities which only occur on certain days like the money courier one.  Hope this helps.

check your stats


1. Why isn't this mentioned anywhere in the instruction manual because I Never would have even thought of that.

2. Yes I'm complaining because...This is gay...I shouldn't have had to ask this...this is something that should be made quite clear in the instructions.

Why can't for once a game that have a manual that tells you where everything you need to know like that is. I can understand not stating the secrets...But not something like this.

That is the most retarded place to put something like that.
You're stats menu is just that...STATS.
Aside from Rockstar putting it there....Why would someone check what day of the week it is in a characters STATS Menu.

The day should be on screen..just like the clock...
It's highly irritating to have something that revolves around the main part of the game, placed in a hidden location like this....I call it hidden becuase I never keep my stats menu open long enough to see anything except the SKILL I'm checking on. About 2 seconds and then that's it.

WTF!!!!


Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention That....The auto-aim system in this game, is by far one of the worst yet. I have gotten killed more times, because while my character is being shot to death by the cops or someone else, and trying to aim for the person who is shooting at me, my character locks onto everyone else but the person who is shooting at me..Even sometimes while I'm facing them.

Zdemon29958, I suggest you read the topic before placing answers that have nothig to do with what I have asked. Becuase you're answer has nothing to do with what I have asked.

That's nice but you were answering something I never even asked

You don't even know what I'm saying isn't mentioned in the manual do you?

That was part of a response to an asnwer that someone gave me about the actual question I asked which BTW you somehow are missing due to the fact you didn't read the topic before you butchered it. You seem to think I'm asking about my stats menu. But the actual question I asked sure as hell wasn't about my stats menu or it not being in the instruction manual.

You obviously didn't read the WHOLE topic at the top.
You took a response I gave to someone, and turned it into a question I never asked. (That's right, a response and not a question) The actual question is at the top.

I really suggest you take the time to read over the RESPONSE you quoted of mine and place it with the reply above it and then to the actual question I asked.

Once you do, you will see where the error you made was.

This is one of the reasons why people's questions get messed up on the forums sometimes.

In otherwords you should read everything from start to finish, and not place things out of whack like you have.

It's simple, if Zdemon29958 didn't butcher my post and turn this into something else rather than what it actually says, then this wouldn't be going on right now.
People have a habit of taking chunks out of a topic and making it say something it never said. Such as the case with this one. You can clearly see if you read the WHOLE topic, that Zdemon29958 turned this into something it's not.

I may be carring on, but I feel it's neccessary to. Because this has happened way to many times, and then when the person tries to say something about it. they get picked on for trolling and then the person who strted the whole mess never gets focused on and they try to play it off as though they did nothing wrong.

In this case I already told Zdemon29958, after the first response he gave me, that he should read the entire topic before giving suggestions or help to people. But that got ignored, because take a look at his second reply. Again he is trying to get it out that I said something I never did.

So yes there is something wrong with this and that point/question is this:
Why is he butchering topics and replies?

All I did was point it out before it was too late and the focus of what he did was taken off him.
