I've binged watched these platinum videos so much over the last day or so, I think you've really tapped into a formula that works so perfectly for you. Your style of editing and presenting a story throughout the video makes it so easy to engage with and get lost in, and its something that will work if you decide to branch into other styles of videos, without losing that *'it'* factor that makes these so watchable. Subscribed, Let's gooooo!

For the weapons skill, it goes up faster based on your accuracy, so I always just parked a car in the tunnel in the canal behind Grove St, crouch so you’re only aiming at one of the tires and shoot that tire repeatedly so the car doesn’t blow up. Maxes out your weapon skills quickly because it counts as a precision hit and your accuracy rating will be ridiculously high since you only have scored precision hits using that weapon.

Also there was some really small vagos territories, like just 30 pixel long and no enemies there so I just have to move around and hoping some of them will spawn to start the gang war. 😅

You’re underrated. I clicked on your gta iv video and after watching it and seeing your dedication to getting the platinum trophy by buying 3 ps3s and game copies and investing 19 hours I thought you must’ve had a million subs. Keep it up and you’ll achieve it!

[@brightwolfz]

For Gang Territories and Max weapon skill, there are some tricks that make them fairly easier. For Gang Territories, if you use a police bike activating vigilante cancels any gang attack on your territory as gang attacks can only happen off mission. Also infinite heavy weapon ammo (minigun, sniper, flamethrower, rocket launcher) spawn at Toreno's ranch once you complete his entire mission string (I believe it's homecoming as the last one. The one where he gets Sweet out of jail). For max weapon skills, if you put a car in a garage and close it, it just stores the id of what car was in there and will give you a car in perfect condition when you open the garage back up. So you shoot the car a bit with your guns until it is either smoking or on fire, close the garage, and reopen it to a fresh car. This is probably considered too much of a glitch for you, but it saves time if you don't want to just go on a rampage with shitty weapons.

[@juan_becerra]

Shooting the car wreckage still counts, so it doesn't matter if it blows up. I used to do this at the airport with a car. So the 1 star cops wouldn't bug me.

[@UrAverageGameEnjoyer]

I like making them green since i love shootouts in games

The interesting part is that 2 trophies in the Trilogy are speedrun strategies. The first is in GTA 3 where you gotta use a Coach to pick up all girls at once during the mission Fuzz Ball. In San Andreas it's the mission Mike Toreno where you just drive directly to the airport.

I remember completing vigilante missions in OG version of the game, it was a true nightmare.... especially when the suspect is oneshotting you with the shotgun

[@michaelpopowich5095]

What's why I wait until I'm able to steal a tank from Area 69 or by using A HPV-1000 Cop Bike and a lot of SMG Ammo to destroy them easily while in GTA Vice City I wait until I get enough hidden packages to unlock the Rhino tank then complete Phnom Penh '86 to unlock the mainland then steal the tank and start up vigilante and drive around the mainland and I usually get it done in a few minutes it's paramedic that frustrates me especially in III and Vice City because of how unstable the ambulance can be (it's not that bad in San Andreas but in III and Vice City the Ambulance is a bit unstable to drive at times) another vehicle in GTA Vice City that can be very useful for Vigilante is the VCPD Cheetah it's not easy to get in the PS2 or Xbox versions since it has not set spawn point in those versions so you'll have to hit a 4 star wanted level and hope it spawns then jack it lose the cops (this is the only cop car that can be resprayed) then store it for later but ever since the PC version of Vice City the VCPD Cheetah has a spawn point (this spawn point is also available in the 10th anniversary iOS and Android port and the Definitive Edition) it's at the mainland police station near Sunshine Autos in an alleyway beside it on the left in the PS2 and Xbox versions this spot is always empty but ever since the PC version a VCPD Cheetah would spawn there with different colors (since it has different color schemes) referencing Miami Vice

Can’t recall the video, but it discussed why completing games can create burnout by the time you finish the plat and chalked it up to many people leaving collectibles and other tedious things last. It suggested, and I’ve found, this burnout toward the end of completion doesn’t happen if you do collectibles sooner rather than later and leave more interesting things like optional bosses or even final missions for last to end on a more memorable climax rather than the sad completion of tedious collectibles.
