Grand Theft Auto IV

[please Note: Solution contains SPOILERS!]

Liberty City (5)

(5) Referring to :
-1-Roman (Unless you let him die)
-2-Little Jacob
-3-Brucie
-4-Packie
-5- Yourself
(-6- Dwayne if he is still alive)

So in the best case scenario (for this achievement), both Roman and Dwayne are sleeping with the fishes.

These are the 5 friends you should get above 90% at any point throughout the game.(minus yourself off course) Once you got a friend above 90% the game will register it as such and you can neglect visiting this friend from now on unless you wish to keep their special abilities ( Those will disappear when your friends like % level decreases to much).

You don't have to get them higher than 90% at the same time and you can do this before the ending of the game after you've met all the friends i have listed above.

[Kate problem]
Kate is not needed for the achievement but i will squeeze this in here regardless:
SPOILER:At the ending of the game you have to decide if you want to make the choice for money or revenge. If you happen to pick the choice to go for the money Roman will die and kate will survive. Kate will be incredibly disappointed in you and will refuse to pick up the phone. You should recieve a call from her after the first time you saved after completing the game. She tells you to give her a call if you want to hang out.

[Dwayne Problem]
Assuming that you've kept Dwayne alive you may run in to some problems regarding getting in contact with him because he doesn't anwser his cell phone after the mission where you had to decide whether or not to kill him. Go find a computer and check your email. Read all your mails and make a positive reply to the ones you have recieved from Dwayne. From that moment forward you can spam dwayne with phonecalls, eventually he will anwser them and you can start hanging out with him.

[Additional friend problems]
Friends may have a hang over, may be asleep , are watching america's next top hooker or are butthurt because you didn't give them a call in the last 10 years.You will lose respect when you get a response like this. Aside from when they are asleep you should just drive a couple of blocks away from the position were you orginally called them and call them again, they are usually much more cooperative then.

[Wake up times and interests]
Your friends all sleep at specific times and all like certain ways of spending time together more than others. I will list them below

In the course of the game, you can choose certain paths that may kill one or more "friends." If that happens, it's ok, as the achievement says, only the ones left alive must like you over 90%.

I didnt write this i only posted it here from x360a.org to help you all out some :)

A piece of advice from someone in the middle of getting this achievement: Don't just keep doing the same things with people. The more times you consecutively do something with the same person the less of an increase you will receive in the percentage increase. In time they'll just tell you they don't want to do that particular activity.

"The Liberty City 5" are:
Roman, Packie, Little Jacob, Bruce, & Dwayne
(*Confirms for me your not supposed to kill Dwayne canonical*)

This one can be a little tedious, but you can get about 2-3 characters/Activities in per day fairly easily... I found it Easiest to do Jacob, Packie, & Bruce... Simply by doing the "Call for....(guns, chopper-ride, bomb) will also add it up a bit more, so you just gotta figure what works there..

Get all above 90% for the Achievement to unlock....
As others have said, if Roman & Dwayne die during the Story Missions, you only have to do Little Jacob , Packie, & Brucie that way... Which goes pretty quick... But you won't get the Benefits of Romans Taxi, or Dwayne's "Backup".

You do have to check your Email, and reply to get Dwayne to eventually call you... I had no issues there, as others said they have a Negative reply (idk how)

Roman: (does not sleep) he doesn't really care where you take him, but Bowling, Strip-club,& Good Food is usually top % (any radio, talking) *doesn't like Driving too fast, doesn't like Shooting

Little Jacob:He is awake from 14:00pm-4:00am. He likes: Pool, Show , Clucking Bell, Stripclubs (Tuff Gong, Massive B Radio) *likes a Slower ride, doesn't mind driving fast... Sometimes doesn't like Shooting (if cops)

Brucie: awake from 700am- 2200pm, he likes Heli Rides, Boating ,Bowling, Show , Strip Club... Only expensive Food (The Vibe radio, LCDC) *likes Driving fast, doesn't like Shooting

Dwayne: Awake from 11:00am-3:00am, he likes Strip Club, Bowling, Comedy Show, Clucking Bell or Expensive Food, darts (Classics radio)
*doesn't like driving too fast, sometimes doesn't mind shooting

Packie: 15:00pm- 6:00am, he likes : Drinking, Pool, Show, Strip Club, Burger Shot, darts, Bowling.. (LCDC,Liberty Rock radio) *likes driving fast, & shooting (especially cops) & will fight people with you
