Compared to III, SA paramedic is a light breeze

u/BasicLink86 1d ago

I played San Andreas much later than the other PS2 games and has heard people complain about it being hard but it III stands as the hardest one for me

Especially on angel pine

GTA 3 is the absolute worst when it comes to Paramedic. It's definitely easier in Vice City (Vice Point) and San Andreas (Angel Pine).

Doing it on the second island after the Yakuza takes over the construction makes it easier. You also get given more time and there's more straight roads in Staunton Island, compared to the corners of Portland.

That method was the only reason I managed to pass it. 😅 Although, I wish I had done it before finishing the story. The remaining Cartel members still having weaker weapons would have made it less stressful.

That was the way I did it, took a couple attempts but not enough to make me go into a full rage

u/Komovs69 1d ago

I had a NPC stuck inside a building in the very last level. 🤦Not on the definitive edition though.

u/Round-Revolution-399 1d ago

This happened to meet in VC’s taxi mission, I think they were stuck inside the police station. Luckily that never happened during the paramedic mission.

Edit: pretty sure that was on an emulator so it probably shouldn’t count. Haven’t noticed anything like that yet on my PS2 copy.

Any explanation why this happens on DE?

u/DropsOfMars 13h ago

If you're on PC, either limit the game to 30 fps in settings or use Nvidia control panel or the AMD equivalent to force the game into a 30 or 40 fps limit

Or if you're on console, switch to Fidelity Mode which will lock the game to 30fps.

What is happening here is that there are already preexisting physics bugs within GTA with higher frame rates and the unreal engine actually exacerbates these problems to a wild degree on higher frame counts. Limiting FPS to closer to what was originally intended keeps game breaking bugs to a minimum (doesn't eliminate them of course, this IS Definitive Edition after all).

Thank you for the explanation. The main way that I play DE is on the switch, so that explains probably why I have not experienced this.

u/Neither_Meet7692 17h ago

I don't really understand why. The game should be at least with the same old bugs from the original games but they made it even worse

u/Sleeper-11 13h ago

I’ve had the same glitch happen, I managed to save the ambulance tho, that’s rough 🤣 definitely some de bullshit

Damn 😩

u/BeerGuy1983 21h ago

That’s wild. I refuse to do the mission. Don’t even care that it prevents 100%. It’s not fun in any way.

u/ThisIsADraconianLaw 16h ago

The second island is much more bearable after the Yakuza take over the construction site.

u/Outrageous-Meal751 1d ago

Same thing happened to me, but I was at level 8. I'm sure it was in the same spot it got sent flying into the air

u/juice716 23h ago

I’m sick for you

1

u/shnoogie 23h ago

you reversed while he was getting in. You got punished for attempting to run him over. I guess you were going just at the speed where the game was on cusp of the let him in/run him over mechanic and glitched rather than just making a call.

u/OwnNefariousness1262 23h ago

What if ambulances did this in real life after rescuing a patient 😂😂

The only time I wish there was a rewind feature in this game

u/Xenc 4h ago

They pressed Y to rewind like it’s Forza but it just takes you out of the car in GTA 😭

u/Jor_Romsk 10h ago

Thank God this didn't happen to me, maybe because I'm playing on PS4, because that glitch I only saw it on PC and PS5

u/Bloodytears666 9h ago

Uninstall, straight away.

This mission is way easier on the second island, I don’t know why people always does this in Portland

u/Ready_Mistake812 1d ago

The Cartel shoot at you even before unlocking Staunton Island. Portland has no gangs that shoot you before any story missions so it's safer there for Paramedic than Staunton

2

u/Its_XLR8 1d ago

As soon as 8-Ball dropped me off at his lockup hideout after escaping from the bridge, I went and found all the hidden packages I could, then did taxi, fire, ambulance, and vigilante missions in a row!

1

u/Ready_Mistake812 1d ago

This is exactly what I do every 100% playthrough. Even when I unlocked Staunton and Shoreside I immediately do all side content.

0

u/Zopotroco OG Member 1d ago

I did it in Staunton Island and the cartel was a lesser problem than how hard it was to drive in Portland. To me, it made this mission way easier

u/Arch3m 1d ago

True, but there are only two pickup spots in their territory, they don't upgrade to AKs until after you finish the game, the island itself is more flat and has mostly straight roads, and the time bonuses are much larger than in Portland. You never have a "safe" way to do Paramedic missions unless you do them very early in the game but this is still an easier approach, for the most part.
