Just running through a game I'm getting to 100%, courtesy of games guides. I'd have never found all of the rampages, jumps and packages by myself. I've already got the game to about 90% on my own.

I've been trying to get the peripheral stuff out of the way first - get as many packages as I could, do the pizza, fire and ambulance missions, do the rampages, do the vigilante etc.

One thing that's been annoying has been the unique jumps. I had one in little Haiti I've just not been able to hit. I advanced the game along a fair bit after giving up, and tonight tried the jump again - and hit it first time!

That said - I now have the jump on Starfish Island I can't hit.

So - I have a theory that you can't hit either some jumps, or a certain number of jumps, until you've progressed to a certain point in the game. You get the slow-mo camera and the insane stunt bonus, but you don't get the unique jump until you're past some predefined point.

Thoughts and comments?
 
I,ve played through the game 3 times now ..

I done all the peripheral stuff first in the same way you have done ..Just played up to the mission that unlocks the second island ..Then it was hunting time :)

I dunno about your theory on the jumps because i done them all ..With exception of the last three that you do for the G spotlight mission..
Other than that i got them all first attempt ..

I,ve heard of a Unique jump glitch in the game but there is no sufficient evidence to back this up ..
 
i have heard about the glitch also, but i dont think its actually a glitch... some of the jumps you have to hit just right.. that's probably what happened, you hit/landed the jump a little bit differently later in the game and got credit for it...
 
Well, I must have tried that jump in Little Haiti 40 or 50 times without success - and when I went to my other save game I hit it first time, and then to hit it first time after moving on in the first game last night - smells fishy to me.

The Starfish Island jump isn't that hard - all you have to do is hit the stairs at the back of the house and clear the garden. I did that, including clearing the hedge, hitting the hedge, angled left and angled right. Nothing.

I'll run some more missions and hit some other jumps and see how I go from there.
 
that is very fishy becuase for the one on starfish island you either have to hit the hedge or clear it.... and as you state you have done both, something is very wrong here, rockstar should have had more beta testers for this game, it has too much wierd glitch crap in it :D
 
They do have some ripper glitches - reminds me of the old 'Kick Off' game for the Amiga back in the late '80s. Man, that thing had more bugs than the insect homeworld from Starship Troopers.
 
Well I had the same problem as you vat with that Little Haiti one, so i had to start again, my last save was great! I had no jump glitches or package glitches, it was Fantastic :)
 
This is one of the reasons I'm doing a video of the jumps.
To know where to jump and where you're supposed to land...
 
What do u lot do the jumps in, i personally love the PCJ 600 as i think it s the best for em
