Category Definition
Like every other III-era GTA's, Vice City Stories uses a completion point system for determining percentage completed.
The PSP versions have a total of 223 completion points, while this number is 240 in the PS2 versions.
The "Percentage completed" stat in the game is calculated by dividing the player's current completion points by the total points of the respective version.
The goal of the 100% categories is to complete every single objective that gives the player a completion point. This is NOT the same as reaching 100% completion in the stats menu!
Important Notes
-
Due to a mechanism built into the game code, the player will be awarded an additional completion point when completing the second-to-last objective, reaching 100% completion in the stats before actually completing the last objective that gives a completion point. (The only exception is when the runner's last remaining objective is a Rampage or a Unique Stunt.) However, the last objective MUST also be completed in order for the run to be legit. IF THIS IS MISSED, THE RUN WILL BE INVALIDATED.
-
The player MUST take over at least 1 'Drugs' type empire site after completing 'From Zero to Hero' but before completing 'Hostile Takeover'. If this is missed, the runner WILL lock themself out of receiving a completion point for unlocking 'Drugs' type sites, thus invalidating their run.
-
The player should NOT take over every 'Drugs', 'Smuggling' and/or 'Robbery' type empire sites before the completion of 'From Zero to Hero'. Doing so can potentionally lock the player out of unlocking these empire types, making it impossible to receive multiple completion points.
-
The player MUST NOT skip (e.g. via duping) the levels of side missions that award the player completion points. Doing so will lock the player out of receiving a completion point for completing the skipped level. This applies to:
- Level 1 of 'Extortion', 'Loan Shark', 'Pimping', 'Drug Running', 'Smuggling' and 'Robbery'
- Level 15 of 'Extortion', 'Loan Shark' and 'Pimping'
- Level 6 of 'Drug Running', 'Smuggling' and 'Robbery'
- Level 15 of 'Air Rescue', 'Beach Patrol', 'Fire Fighter', 'Paramedic' and 'Vigilante'
- The player MUST NOT skip any storyline missions (e.g. via duping OR CurrentMissionChain variable manipulation by going om0 OR "Act Cleanup Bypass" aka "PACB" aka "Save Glitch"). Doing so will lock the player out of receiving a completion point for the skipped mission.
