Help with escort Hard

I've been trying this for a while now to get the strippers gang style, but it's just impossible for me. The car is too slow and there's too many press vehicles. I know it's possible, I saw other people who did it. All it does is raise my blood pressure and make me want to apocafist my PS3.



Why is this crap so frikking hard? Advice very very welcome.


 


Edit: funny how that works. First try after my post I got it. Seriously annoying activity.

Drive like a maniac. Make powerslide turns as much as possible, remember that the car you are given is MUCH better than those vans and drive on the wrong side of the road as well and sidewalks, its hard but driving more risky can be more rewarding than driving how you normally do.

Yeah I drove like a maniac, but that also makes you make more mistakes, like hitting a tree or a ramp or something that prevents you from moving on. The cars acceleration is really slow so when you get stuck you're immediately surrounded by like 6-7 of those vans preventing you from actually moving. Three times I had to quit because I was cornered and couldn't move anymore. One time they bumped me off the freeway and I got turned upside down, other times I just never made it far enough. I never finished the ones where it required me to get airtime. I seriously wouldn't know where to get airtime anywhere in that area. I finishd the one that requried me to run someone over, do a powerslide, stop for 5 secs and go to a theatre. Somehow I took the right areas and never got more than half bar of footage.

Believe it or not, there is a VERY easy way to complete this activity as I discovered:


 


Make sure you own all the stores in the area. Use them to lose your heat all the time. Simple. Time it right, though. For instance, get your first two or three girls (or other contacts depending upon the location) and drive like a maniac to the drop off point. Once you don't have to protect the contacts anymore, run into one of the stores you own, lose your notoriety, and then repair your vehicle in Rim Jobs, if needed, or steal another four door. Cop cars are THE BEST because they are durable and fast. Do this as many times as you have to. I forget, but I believe that if you still have the contacts in your car, losing the notoriety doesn't help because once you get back in the car with the stolen contacts, your notoriety may come back. BUT if you don't have the contacts with you, in other words you have dropped them off and are read to pick up more, then losing your heat is easy peasy. ;)

You're talking about Snatch. I was talking about Escort where you have to drive an escort girl around with her customer. The snatch one is easy compared to this. What I dislike about snatch is that the girls take forever to get in the car. I was playing on hardcore and damn everyone is just on top of you destroying either you, your girls or your car. Still it's not as annoying as Escort because the main difference is that Snatch has a set route and objectives which are always going to be the same. Even without getting rid of your nototiety you can do that one without too many retries. Escort has different objectives and locations to drive to each time you play so it's harder to plan your route. Especially annoying if you just drove by the place where you need to run someone over and there's like 6 of those vans behind you. Ugh.

Sorry, Aeons, I mixed them up in my head. In SR3, I found the Escort activity to be a real cakewalk because of the ease of the new driving physics, so my mind flip-flopped them and I mistakenly thought you meant Snatch.

My 'smoothest' attempts at this involved driving around the airport runway area as much as possible, doing powersliding u-turns to throw off pursuit.

You just have to keep at it. And try it at different times (day and night). I found my nighttime run was easier then the daytime one, though other beg to differ. Keep at it and you will eventually get that perfect combination of client "wants" to allow you to complete it.
