that worked perfectly to me. thanks!

FYI, you can make all of the jumps using either a Turismo or a motorcycle. There is a Turismo showroom near your safehouse east of Middle Park, and a motorcycle showroom in the north part of Alderney.

i used an NRG 900 from the motorcycle store in alderney for many of them--i read somewhere it was the fastest bike.
ADDENDUM: i screwed up on my saves, and had to repeat 150 of the pigeons, so be very careful where you left off and where you begin with this one, or you'll throw your controller into your HDTV. the only thing that saved me from madness was that i had saved pigeons and jumps for last. when the 100% didnt pop after the jumps, i checked my stats and had exactly 50 pigeons, so I knew what i had to do. whew. that rhymes.

I agree that that is the best website to use. By the way, if you have a small percentage left and you don't know what you missed, this page - http://www.gta4.tv/guide/100/100-completion-breakdown/ - really helps narrow things down because it gives the different percentages and when they are awarded.

But there's no reason to try to do the jumps (the Dare Devil achievement) while the clock is ticking for the Liberty City Minute achievement. Easiest way to do the Liberty City Minute achievement is to restart the game, being careful not to overwrite your main save and just quickly do the story. (Using taxis helps a lot too because you get where you need to be instantly.)

just an fyi, there are cheat codes for the turismo and NRG900 that shouldn't block any achievements. I used them for the stunt jumps and also just to get around more easily. enter these numbers in your cellphone.

NRG900 ---> 625-555-0100
Turismo ---> 227-555-0147

thats cool, because that's what took so long for the stunt jumps.

Pigeons, whilst tedious, weren't as hard as the stunt jumps. Some of those were plain painful. The fact you have to get back to the starting point after you screw up a jump, argh. Achievement well worth it though, it's in my trophy case :D

For me the most draining was Stevie's car thefts. It was so boring and took so long.

Doing the pigeons was hardly riveting but one of the minor benefits is getting to see parts of the city you hadn't explored previously. This would have made it all perfectly bearable were it not for the fact I missed one of the pigeons the first time round and had to go back through the first fifty or so again. :(

i agree--the sweat designers put into really remote areas-inside and out-- pays off with the pigeons and jumps cheeves. I feel with "key to the city" that I've really wrung out the chamois on GTAIV, really got my moneys worth--and i really haven't hit the multiplayer that much.

I used the interactive checklist for this and for getting 100% in TLaD its good evry1 shud use it.

whew... it's good to know that cheats don't block achievements because I've been spawning cars, motorcycles, and helicopters like nobody's business.

Hey guys. Remember to save at the very end if you're finished and still haven't got it. I was stuck on 98% wondering WTF I was missing, saved it to go to bed and up popped the achievement.

If u skip the videos will that affect getting this?

i don't think so

That site is awesome!!....thank you!!!

Spoiler....

It's been while, but when you need to kill PBX or D, I didn't do much with D, would that be a problem?

Thanks! Just got it, great site and solution!!

I honestly have no idea what I'm missing, I'm at 98.75% and I've done everything on that list. ;-;

Well, you're missing 1.25%, so it has to be one of the four activities. I would guess you didn't beat a friend at a FULL game of bowling, but it could be darts.

i completed everything and now i am wondering what else i need i have like 98.33% of completion can anyone help?

do you have to win the pool/darts/bowling games against each friend?

Okay guys, how is this possible:
I looked at the Achievements of a friend of mine playing GTA... He had Key To The City, but no Collectible Achievement whatsoever! So how could he get 100% WITHOUT having all the collectibles... is it actually required or ? Thanks

he probably got the collectible achievement offline, then recovered his account and lost it before gettin the Key. My friend did that with AC2, the only achievement he has at all for that game is the one you get for wearing the auditore cape in every city, it tarts people out

When i 100%ed GTA IV, I liked using turismos better than nrgs for stunt jumps

can you get this achievement after you have beat the game then do all the activities and pedestrians missions and such?

That's exactly what I'm doing NmE. I managed to save over my old playthrough when getting Liberty City Minute, so I had done literally nothing but the main missions and it seems to be working fine now that I'm doing everything else.

ah thanks for the answer disco

I want to do this cheevo, but I'm a little stuck, i didn't keep track of the random characters and i don't know who is left, i dont want to continue this and be left with something like .5%. Does anyone know where i can go and find out who i still have to meet?

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/grand-theft-auto-iv/...
has a very good breakdown on where and how to meet the random characters for "No More Strangers". I missed several stranger opportunities by not watching for the little icon on the map, making the wrong story tree decisions or failing the mission in one case, so read this guide closely with your playthrough.
Hope this helps!
You may have to do another playthrough if you don't have the right savepoint handy.

Thanks for your reply, i think i'm just going to give up on this game, i forgot how much i disliked the general play of this game, the camera angles are terrible, especially while driving, every time u turn the camera pans out to see the car sideways and u end up crashing as you cant see whats in front, controlling the car is horrible and not being bale to check if you have met which random character and how many times will make this too frustrating for me.

Try the MP racing stuff--sheesh!

Thanks that really helped.

I just got this achievement today! Most people have the pigeons as their last thing on the checklist and RoosterTeeth has a terrific 8-part guide for that which is very organized and easy to follow. Killing all 200 pigeons might seem tedious but it is so rewarding to kill that last pigeon and get 150 G.

I really need to know does the Liberty city minute achievement (30 hours) count towards the 100% achievement? Help as soon as possible please?

Awesome checklist! just got it :D
