  • Have you ever wondered why Wrong Side of the Tracks is so difficult in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas? Is it your fault? Is it Big Smoke's fault? Are the Vagos just too strong? Let's find out why we're all terrible at this infamous GTA SA mission!

    I never had much trouble with this mission. I have definitely failed it some times but the most important thing to do is to drive consistently next to the train and far enough so that the shots don't land on the train as mentioned in the video.

  • @englishben
    @englishben Před 3 měsíci +16

    It's worth mentioning as well that many more things in this mission are coded super weirdly. The train's logic is really messed up, it will stop, start, slow down or speed up at seemingly random times. This makes coming up with solutions quite tricky for casual players.
    For example, you might try to kill the train driver to stop the train. This does work, but only in very specific scenarios. Sometimes it stops entirely, sometimes it starts accelerating again immediately. It feels random without looking at the code, which no casual player is expected to do.
    Great video btw

  • @NinjaskKing

    The main issue most have with the mission is that they drive too close to the side of the train, just keep over the other track and avoid crashing while Smoke takes out the Vagos.

    So my first gta was 4 and I never played any of the other ones besides 5 until like 2019. I've played San Andreas multiple times since then and never had an issue with this mission. I always thought it was strange how a lot of people had trouble with it.

  • @AdmiralJacob
    @AdmiralJacob Před 3 měsíci +3

    What I *thankfully* found out as a kid is, that the missions pretty easy if you just don't take the high road in the countryside even tho Smoke wants you to, but rather just stay besides the train. He has more time to shoot them then.

  • @allstargaming2500
    @allstargaming2500 Před 3 měsíci +10

    The problems you didn't mention about the mission include 2 things
    First and foremost the bike speed. When you are driving solo you can accelerate the bike much faster by leaning front. However during the mission Smoke is a passenger and the game slows the speed if there is a passenger. This applies exclusively to SA and no other 3D GTA game has this feature.
    Secondly the train tracks slow you done even further. While riding on the tracks your speed becomes so slow combined with the leaning forward nerf such that u always have to damage the 2nd guy in order to get a good chance of passing the mission. The train also takes an insane speed jump after the tunnel and that is explained in the video. Very interesting to see the scalable difficulty mechanism in this mission.

    • @Nova_The_Beyonder

      I guess you have played this mission soo many times, nice analysis.

    • @TJGM
      @TJGM  Před 3 měsíci +4

      Smoke slowing the bike down was actually originally acknowledged in the mission through dialogue, but it was cut before release.
      At one point Smoke is meant to tell CJ to speed up and CJ says "This thing wasn't built to take so much weight. They don't call you BIG Smoke for nothin'!" then Big Smoke replies with "Shit, I was born big, fool".
      So the bikes being slowed down due to the extra passenger was likely introduced specifically for this mission.

    • @allstargaming2500
      @allstargaming2500 Před 3 měsíci +1

      @TJGM  Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@allstargaming2500 No I know it's not exclusive, but chances are this feature was added because of the dialogue, or the other way around.

    Hi! I have a problem with GTA San Andreas. I put some mods in it to upgrade the game and make it more beautiful, but I noticed that the fps often drops to 30-40 because of the mods. Most of them are just texture mods. I also use Largeaddress but the problem is still present. I don't know what to do. I haven't found any useful info on the internet about this other than to set the settings lower ingame. But this is a joke. So I was wondering, based on your mod series, if you could make a video on how to fix this problem that many people have. I don't want to take mods out of the game if I don't have to. And I also want to thank you on behalf of many of us for keeping this og community around gta alive.

  • @madspunj1
    @madspunj1 Před 2 měsíci +1

    i think when they hit the countryside and big smoke wants you to take the high road that most people stay on the high road and never come back down to the right side of the train. That's why some might think its hard.
