Played some more missions, including the world’s strangest bank heist getaway.

Had great fun with this and my concerns about the possible balance issues caused by the drug dealing and my fears for the length of the game have been put to rest. Basically, the missions have not got quite hard, so I’m having retry them quite a few times and I’m having to spend a fair amount of cash at Ammunation. So the money now has a point and the missions have got difficult – but not too difficult. Good stuff.

Been doing a lot of missions. I’ve done enough drug deals to set myself up with a big pile of money that I’m not spending, so I’m concentrating on progressing the story. The missions are very short, so I’m a little worried that this will be a one of those games I love for a week and then put aside. Which is better than most games, obviously, but I was hoping this would keep me going for a long time.

Last mission I did was Raw Deal, which was awesome. It’s an escort mission, but a hugely violent, exciting one. Took me a few tries as it was such utter carnage, but I enjoyed every attempt. And it’s nice to have a mission that takes a few tries, it’s been a very easy game so far.

I have learned how to make molotov cocktails. I’ve also made a lot of money from drug dealing, but lost most of it after a series of busts. And I’ve tattooed a new gang initiate.

It’s a wonderful game, absolutely packed with stuff to do and a technical miracle.
