Hishoa Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) edit: As I also said to BiggD, I will remove it if he wants to. As I said in your SS thread: ... even if you did get permission for the other content you put into your guide (Kifflom), that still doesn't excuse the matter of not crediting him it. Crediting him in only one spoiler drop-down menu and not in another is highly suspicious.So it's not a matter of whether or not you've received permission to use content, it's the fact that in some parts of your guide you fail to give credit entirely. There was absolutely nothing in your Kifflom achievement guide that indicates that someone else wrote it (other than it obviously being written by a completely different person). Edited September 24, 2013 by Hishoa changed "is" to "was" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part I copied without credit was the Kifflom! achivement, Which I deleted, The 100% part already had credit right at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say you just keep the Career Criminal stuff as that information can be found far and wide across the internet. Get rid of all the other stuff from this site, and cut your loses.

Get rid of all the other stuff from this site, and cut your loses. Pretty much this. When I gave consent, I was under the impression it was only GENERAL information (perhaps I am confusing the specifics of Career Criminal as I had over 5 different people ask me about using that checklist - which I also gave consent because that's GENERAL information). I do not appreciate the straight copy/paste work you had done for Kifflom!, especially when the entire work you posted was mine and not even my name or this site was credited. For the future, I will try to be more organized when knowing what and who I give consent to, but I think it's best you REALLY reword some of your achievement descriptions (notably Kifflom!) because that's plagiarism and I'm genuinely kinda offended by it. EDIT: It seems you have said you've taken that info out. So I appreciate that. And I am sorry for all this misunderstanding and the fact that about 4 of us got on your back. Just trying to avoid plagiarism is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about this. It's alright. Just next time, whether or not it's just for a quick usage, make sure you don't copy word for word. And to clear things up...if you ask someone for information from their guide, be sure to ask for specific details. This would be better so that if you are given consent, it's for specific things that the author is aware of, rather then the person asking for permission just using a majority or significant portion of their information. Anyways, I got to get to bed, but sorry that you were put on the spot like this. Just be careful how you go about making your own guides when plagiarism can be - and is - a very serious matter.

Creasy47 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 What's the hardest/most annoying achievement you all have experienced so far? For me, it has to be the stunt jumps. I'd say the knife flights, but 1/3 of those were real easy and there were only 15 total. The stunt jumps were incredibly touchy and very fucking aggravating.

I'd say the knife flights, but 1/3 of those were real easy and there were only 15 total. The stunt jumps were incredibly touchy and very fucking aggravating. At first, i would have said the Knife Flights, but I am a pretty good pilot. The Stunt Jumps were complete balls, and very broken. There were times that I hit the jumps perfectly and didn't receive credit for them. None of them were really "tough", but you'd find yourself going top speed and your car would just flip over randomly, or you would land ever so slightly out of the area and fail the jump. I also found them really boring as well, so they were a bit of a hassle to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMidget_Furyx Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks for the guide I had not looked at the whole thing yet because I was only interested in the multi-disciplined guide. I just want to point out that I did not do the street race, (I did do the "shift work" mission but only got a sliver medal, I did win the race) So I'm not entirely sure if the street races are needed for the achievement.

They are, but getting first place in "Shift Work" counts towards the achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel terrible for anyone who has Kifflom glitched to any extent. Aside from the grinding or tiresome goals, it wasn't too bad for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the grinding or tiresome goals, it wasn't too bad for me. Same. The only one I needed to look up was the 10 days in the robe. Wasn't sure if you should switch characters. The desert part wasn't even that bad. It's literally 20 minutes of running if you do it straight. I just wish I knew what to do at the end of the mission lol. Could've used that 2.1m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the achievement isn't as long as it appears in text, and I'm not sure if it's actually glitched, or if people aren't waiting long enough for the next mission to appear.

It could be the latter. I just took them as they came and didn't focus on sitting down and only doing the achievement. As for the ending of it, thankfully I checked it out before the mission ended, though it wasn't simply "the easiest option is to drive away and get the money," because I got rocked the first time I did it by all the enemies and gunfire. Still worth the $2.1 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACES11 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Some help - PowerPyx's 100% guide says that Career Criminal (achieving 100% completion) is unmissable no matter the ending (I haven't finished yet) yet this guide says it is - some clarification?
