If vc stunting had achievements...?
« on: November 19, 2011, 11:16:12 PM »
Simple right, if Vice City had achievements for stunting what would they be? Name a maximum of three per post.
We'll start with my 3 challenges and work our way from there. So post whatever you got. ;)
If you complete any challenge in the first post just post a screenshot or replay to earn a spot on the leaderboard.
We are goin with the notion that the game actually know's what were doing, whether it be a BSM or a p2b.

(You can assign "points" to your achievement but no more than about 5 points.)
If your "tasks" are difficult enough we could make a game of this.
For the most part, every challenge can be topped!

...TBC


Active Achievements:
> Gain more than 300ft distance from a Unique Jump. - EASY 1 POINT (Show/Name the unique jump)
> Achieve height greater than 100ft in the 'Little Havana' district using PCJ600. - MEDIUM 3 POINTS
> Perform a stoppie longer than 6 seconds on Prawn Island. - MEDIUM 3 POINTS
> Achieve a distance of over 1400ft with the taxi of your choice - HARD 5 POINTS
> Achieve a height of over 220ft with the PCJ600 - VC/LC - 5 POINTS

Lets go baby!

Leaderboard:
  • 1st
  • 2nd
  • 3rd
  • 4th
  • 5th

I thought yours were really easy, so I'll write down some more difficult ones:
-Gain a distance of over 900ft with the Rhino (VC/LC, 4pts)
-Gain a distance of over 1400ft with the taxi of your choice (VC, 5pts)
-Gain a height of over 220ft with the PCJ600 (VC, 4pts)

I kinda like the idea, but I think the points system will become messy. If we could make this topic look really nice, and list everyone's achievement suggestions in the first post, I'm sure we could have a lot of fun with this.

Yeah, fa sho do'h.

IMO, though, challenges should go; 1 for easy, 3 for medium, and 5 for hard.

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? POST THEM UP!

I will add your challenges as soon as I know the WR for Rhino jumps in VC/LC.
But the other two are straight. :)

It's a bit over 1000 in VC (Nitzkit, airport ramp) and 900-something in LC by me I think, but not sure (grassramp watergap from staunton to shoreside vale)

HAHA, so I just had an idea Redman. Can I call you Redman? We should had 4 groups. Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible.
What do you think? I mean, PCJ stunts over 200ft in VC are nearly impossible and require a couple hours... so? Impossible stunt challenges for 7 points or what?

Haha, call me Redman if you want, there was a guy called Redman here years ago tho.

Well, the reason you think of 200ft stunts as nearly impossible is that you don't use all the lame (but effective) methods people use these days (CSMs, PSMs, FBI bumps). Go to the airport and use this* method, and one can quite easily reach 200ft+ (even me who's really terrible at RADs) (btw this method is actually really old, I remember white gangsta having the height WR from doing this looong ago)

Sorry about my non-creative achievements suggestions before :( Here are some cooler ones:
-Do a double loop with a vehicle of your choice (not in the stadium) (VC/LC, 5pts)
-Make a triple barrel roll with a vehicle of your choice (VC/LC, 3pts)

I dunno about the points system, I'll let you handle that :P

Can we also have a mod showing a fancy small picture with an 'ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED' or something? :euro:

I'll see if I can think of some nice ones in the next few hours while being in the garage  :ajaja: I have a list for myself aswell  :P I only have 5 more on that list though.. so a new would be great.


Just my 2 cents.. why don't we gather 100 challenges, pick the best 50. And then divide them into points. And when you have everything you have like 300 total. So you can see your progress  :)

I like Rainbow's suggestion a whole fucking lot.
Let's make sure we have some real variety in the types of achievements!

Thanks for posting this btw Urban, I got so excited about stats and stuff that I went and beat some WR's I've always wanted to have. ^^

Get more than 8000° from a ramp2bus stunt in the airport.

hows that?
Also you can break it into sections like: VC,LC and SAiVC

Haha I like that one PrzemOO. We could break them up into categories so it has a little more structure.

That's also a decent idea Rainbow. But I would still like a leaderboard so to speak. :P If we do it your way, it's like playstation or xbox.
Otherwise it's just like Hoffs easy challenge game/king of the hill/record breaking but with points.
Just keep posting your ideas and will go from there.

*Record breaking stunts will be worth 7 points*
*Hard is worth 5 points*
*Medium is worth 3 points*
*Easy - 1*

@Red - whats a double loop mean?
@Mugestu - Can we also have a mod showing a fancy small picture with an 'ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED' or something?

That's going off Rainbows idea, we would need alot of them, challenges would also need to be simplified to fit onto these bars.
Would be cool to add this on the actually GTAS website, have a big banner and you get your name added when you complete it?

We don't need to simplify the challenges, we'll just give them names :P And their will be a description of what the challenge was in some kind of menu.

Double loop would be going straight into another loop directly after you've finished the first one, which seemed to be really fucking hard at the spot I tried it at (considering you lose a lot of speed after the first one). but never mind it's a shitty challenge since I found a loophole, those cement pipes at the LC construction yard :P
