I like the game a lot, but they definitely took it too far with some of the repetitive, realistic tasks that are boring. And the flight controls for the helicopter need some work. I haven't played online so this is just about story mode. To me the monetary system is so broken, realistic I guess, but not much fun. Basically if you want to buy all the property you have to wait until you finish the main story and then play the stocks at the end. I'd rather space it out to where I progress evenly throughout the game and mix it up, but I find myself just rushing through the main story.
And they really need to fix the AI for the cops and wanted level. So much as look the wrong way at a cop and you have two stars and it takes forever to go away. And they bring out the police heli way too fast. It just wastes so much game time. It's GTA, I shouldn't need to evade a 3 star wanted level everytime I decide to jack a car. And without a health cheat you can't really rampage or anything because you die so quick in this one.
Red Dead Redemption was one of my favorite games ever and I thought this would be more like that. I liked RDR and Saints Row better I think.
