I got bored driving around and doing random things to I decided to just do story missions. The next one I did involved going to a fast food joint and watching Smoke pig out. Hilarity ensued when suddenly I was in a car chase while Smoke just kept eating instead of shooting. The mission was pretty funny, but I still had no idea who I was chasing down. They kept saying it was some rival gang, but it seems like all I've done to them was to spray over a few of their tags. Granted, I did spray two of them in the face, but is that really so bad? Sarcasm aside, I didn't like not really having a sense of who the main threat in the game is supposed to be, and I still didn't find out in my play session today. Maybe it's revealed later on, but I like it when games immediately let you know what the overall goal of the game is, and who the opposition is. For now, it seems it's just random shenanigans, which is fun, but gets old fast without this main driving force behind it. Anyway, after I destroyed their car and easily avoided the cops, I went on to the next mission, which just involved a shooting tutorial and buying clothes. This could have been one of the first missions, but instead I was left to figure it out on my own since I had already stumbled across an uzi randomly hidden under a bridge after the first mission. And I've been walking around in a white tank top the whole time, which slightly annoyed me. After that, I wound up picking up some guy named Jeffery, er, I mean, OG Loc, from prison, and doing an EXTREMELY annoying motorcycle chase to kill some gay guy who stole Loc's rhymes. By this point, I didn't even question why the cops didn't bother to chase a guy who sped past their car while shooting at someone. Instead, they politely waited until I was done chasing this guy all over town and finally killed him. I guess the cops really hate it when criminals get killed...
