these chicks only appear in 2 of the safehouses you own (one of them is in Midtown near the Barzini compound). they'll appear actually in your room and not in an adjacent room where the other red basque chicks are

I finally got this game..I am only at Enforcer rank now, should I wait until I am further in the game to try to take over most of the businesses etc.?

there's like 5 different safehouses near the Barzini compound. ive pretty much given up on getting one, i prefer to work solo anyways. one question i had for you, since you're like the resident expert: I got a key from a shopkeeper and I went to the bank, got his cash, then it says i got another key. but i have no idea where this one goes. Do you remember this?

Alakhira · 05-18-2007, 06:12 AM

ah, i have that second key too! the first keep is from a shopkeeper who had a problem with an arsonist out back i believe. any help about this second key would be great. unfortunately i can't remember the name associated with the second key.

Secondly, is it worth it to rob banks?

somebody else has my problem. i think it says like S-something & S-something. don't remember quite what it says. robbing banks, depending on which ones, are a great little source of income until you get some warehouses and hubs to increase your payday amount. i would rather do hits and steal trucks, however.

the best way is to take over most of the businesses first and leave the game missions till later. the more businesses, rackets, compounds and hubs you have then the more money you will be bringing in which will give you enough spare cash to upgrade your weapons and buy safe houses.

it is wise to have as many safe houses as you can...they are a quick way of crossing town and when your running away from trouble it is easier to run a couple of blocks to a safehouse...

ah, the second key........after you have robbed the bank you need a getaway car. well, this key belongs to the security truck thats in the banks parking lot. there is a security truck outside every bank and you now have the key to drive it. try shooting one of them down!!!!

it is most definately worth robbing banks. although do bear in mind that the banks close for repairs for about an hour game time...when i was raising some cash i dont think there was ever a time when the banks stayed open for long

so that's what is was for. i didn't even realize that, i did get into that truck. okay, thanks for clearing it up.

the only gun i need now is the lv 3 magnum. i have everything else. also have at least 2 safehouses in every city. have 4/8 warehouses and 1/4 hubs, so gotta get on that now, i guess.

islandvic · 05-18-2007, 11:59 PM

I am really enjoying this game!!! I got my first Hub, it was crazy. Anyways I was wondering does it matter how many times you get 'iced' and end up in the clinic or started over. I was resetting each time because I would normally save before doing something life-threatening, but I started getting fed up so would just keep trying again. Also, I have almosy 400,000 saved up...should I invest in the dillinger or street-sweeper, or just save the money for safehouses and such?

i think in all my time playing I got iced about 9 or 10 times. i'd buy the dillinger once you have about 600,000 saved as you always need a bit of spare cash. i'd suggest taking over a few more rackets and maybe a couple of warehouses or a hub to get some more cash flowing in. buying out a few safe houses will also give you the incentive to take over the business there also.

I didn't really give the godfather much of a look at first, but the idea is starting to grow on me. I've never played the GTA series, but after reading some of this and the IGN review, I can imagine the appeal.

I might just get this. One positive of having a temporary quality game shortage is the opportunity for the few good games to get the full recognition they deserve.

FWELR · 05-22-2007, 11:47 PM

just finished up pretty much everything: all hits, compounds, warehouses, hubs, drug fronts, favors, businesses, and rackets all mine. i make over 300,000 per payday, get 190,000 after my Corleone discount of 40% as I'm don now. im at respect level 49, with the pistol whip, and unlimited ammo. the only thing left for me to find is the remaining film clips. i've only got 26/100, so the remaining clips should give me enough respect to get up to level 50, but i don't know about the rest. excellent game, but i'm going to move on to heatseeker now.

on the mission where you need to blow up the car at the cop compound, i tried to sneak in as well as just kill everyone to blow up the car. It's fairly early in the game, not sure which exact mission it is. At any rate the coppers just lay waste to me everytime, anyone know what your supposed to do?

its the mission where you have to destroy fredo corleone's car. the best tip for this mission is to bribe a load of cops outside the precinct first. then, sneak in (cops will now ignore you) and sneak up to the far left hand corner trying to avoid any cops that walk to and fro. when the cops arent looking sneak over to the target car, plant your bomb and leg it. the cops will start shooting you at this point but if you avoid any confrontation you should get away without too much damage. your heat level will rise up to a high level so either go to another district or lie low in a safe house

I ran a lot of them over with the car I was driving in with. Worked very well and the rest was easy to take care of with the guns.
