I really wish you could replay random events, instead of just being deposited at the hospital minus money. I encounter a kidnapping, kill the lost guys, then get capped and die. I save a guy who had pipes fall on him from burning alive, the guy yells for me to get out of their because it's going to explode, and as soon as I hit "Y" I die anyway. Maybe the armored car stuff I get, but basically, if you don't have on body armor at all times, you're screwed.
I feel like I am missing something though. I don't know if the game is just too big or what, but I find myself just doing the main and side missions instead of exploring because just driving around gets boring and there's lots of highways.
