It still made me do the "Help him" mission, but the character was all "Thanks for not being busy with a girl this time, eh" and stuff like that. I thought that was pretty cool.
I did it the other way. I had literally just pulled up to Michelle's door when I get the call from Roman, so I ditch the date unannounced and go bail him out. Right after I got for the date and the chick is all like "Why couldn't you come last time?"

And Niko is all "Roman, uh...got eento some trobble"




The big step from the last games to this is that this game so closely emulates real life that it borders on insane. It's all in the details, I tell ya.


I found myself on a five minute police chase today which started as innocently as me hucking a cup of coffee at an innocent pedestrian. Little did I know a cop was very near. He gets me to put my hands behind my head and as soon as he's about to make a grab for me I bolt across the street, dodging bullets, into a local amusement park. I hop two fences and end up on an on-ramp with to police cars in hot pursuit. I run for my life as the gain on me in their cars. Then another cop car pulls in from the other side, cornering me completely. With nowhere else to go, I hop over the edge of the on-ramp, praying the drop isn't too far. Luckily, subway tracks were ready to greet me not so far between where I jumped off and the ground.I land on the tracks and begin running as policemen yell at me from the on-ramp. I eventually lose my wanted stars and jump of the tracks a good 20-30 to the ground below. After I land, a pedestrian stops, points at me and yells something to the effect of "Holy crap, dude!".

It was then I realized that I had the biggest figurative boner ever.
