jokertheangel Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hi! Can anyone help with tips or something for the car/satellite minigame? I am so stuck on the third episode because of it, and it's driving me insane. I'm so tense!!! Even better, can anyone help me skip it? XD xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSmakk Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I second that request! I am stuck in the very same spot and it does not seem to get easier each time I try to complete the stupid satellite mission. Almost ready to just go trade in the game and be done with it.

SHawk996 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Follow the cars in front of the one you're tracking...it's a small heads up on where the car will be turning next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vithzeral Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) The third episode one is a real controller breaker. The car in front is too far ahead and off the screen most of the time, there are no visible roads that the car is following and then at 3 or 4 points for no apparent reason the car you are trailing becomes invisible and you just have to guess and hope. The only real advice I can give is to to do it as fast as possible; if you don't get the first 2 levels out of the way almost perfectly then the last part will be impossible. I would think it would be a lot easier with Kinect or Move because obviously no-one bothered to test it with a regular controller.

djhepcat Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 the busted controls make this mini-game insufferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnoutbabe Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 yes, stuck on this part, the shame of being at 700/1000 on this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I tried the Episode 3 GPS minigame at least a dozen times before passing it. "Thank God" I thought when I finally finished it, hoping to crank through the rest of the game and send it back to NF. There really aren't any tips other than what people have already said. If you don't get the first two levels quickly at the start, you might as well start again. I ran out of time a couple of times with the last level almost complete. There was cursing. Sadly there is another GPS game in the last episode. I only tried it once, before calling it a night, but on the plus side, there are discernable roads in that minigame, so I expect it won't be quite as frustrating.

KRS Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ack - there are two GPS minigames in episode 4. Neither is anywhere near as bad as the one in episode 3 however. The first in Ep 4 took me 3 tries, the second one I actually am proud to say I got on the first try. Another 1000/1000 - I need to update my sig.

RedemtionOWNAGE Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Holy cow, how r u guys having so many problems with this?? I found all of them easy did all of them 1st try except the 3rd mission one car was kinda fast. Only advice I can say is keep the reticle on the red dot at all times and be slow on how you controll it also look at the white dots ahead of the dot your following, if u know where they are going, you know where the cars going so just follow and be slow. Easy game there sould be difficulty:uzi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanks19791024 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 My tip. take a break and try after 30 min rest, I did this and got it on first try. Like another poster said, if you dont get the first two right away, start over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Face Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If anyone happens to read this: Is this easier with Kinect? If so, I'll hook mine up. If not I think I'm done for the night on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenEye250 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 If anyone happens to read this: Is this easier with Kinect? If so, I'll hook mine up. If not I think I'm done for the night on this one. This game does not support Kinect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Testament Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The Episode 3 one took my three tries. I wonder if the it always follows the same pattern. If so people might try that. I think the hardest part is there aren't any roads. The Episode 4 GPS ones are hard, but at least it is confined to roads then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean is not pro Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 not sure what's going on. didn't fail a single mini game. if anyone is scared about not picking up this game for an easy 1000 because of the above posts, i wouldn't be. not sure why everyone is having such a difficult time. you just have to move your stick a little bit in whatever direction.

Floorkiller Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Well, for some people it's easy, and some it's not. sheesh. I'm done with this game at 700, this 3rd car minigame isn't worth whatever it is I'll break. I can get the 1st 2 done in 20-30 seconds, but that last one is just rediculous. You lose all your progress so quickly...The fact thiat this game is dogshit doesn't make we want to go further anyway. The voice acting is just painful. This is a game I regret 100% (And If I ever do lose my marbles long enough to 1K it, I'll still stand by that statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillanaut Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I agree F the 3rd level satellite game. I trie 3 times, same thing every time, i get it close and all of a sudden im off the car for no time and im at 0... I want to hit something right now... It would be easier if this game wasnt so painfully awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillanaut Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 And if you are having trouble with it, take a break, drink a beer... And then just chill... It made me crazy, but got it first time after a 25 minute break.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlsoKnownAsTex Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 WHY DO THEY EVEN NEED TO TRACK HER WITH THE SATELLITE SHE'S OFFROADING IN THE FREAKING DESERT OH MY GOD. Seriously, F this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Creep Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Sit really close to the TV. Seriously, it makes the roads a lot easier to see and movements easier to predict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookcentral Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah, the GPS minigame at the end of episode 3 was an utter pain in the butt. I don't remember having this hard of a time completing it on the PS3. I'm sure it's easy as pie on the original PC version with a mouse. After about a dozen tries, I took a few days break, came back to it, and passed in the 3rd or 4th try. Here's what I did which made it a *tiny* bit easier, but NOT super easy. 1. Assuming you're playing on an HDTV, zoom in the picture ("Cinema" is the view setting on my TV for that). This helps because the original play area is windowed with a large border. 2. Mute the TV audio. I found the constant "we lost her" police chatter to be a distraction. 3. I found that using the Titan One adapter (www.consoletuner.com) to use a PS3 controller on the X360 seemed to help. You'll need a wired X360 controller plus a PS3 controller (wired or wireless with a USB wire). Plug the wired X360 controller into the Titan One, then put that into the X360's USB port in front. Once it "registers" (numbers of the device will stop cycling), pull out the controller (not the Titan One), and then plug in the PS3 controller into the Titan One. 4. On the X360 dashboard, go to Settings, Profile, Game Defaults, General, and change Sensitivity to "high". You would think "low" would make more sense, but "high" seemed to do better with the Titan/PS3 controller. That's really all I did. If you know how to resign Xbox 360 saves, I uploaded two I made after this GPS game, and the last one in Episode 4.
