Seriously, no love for The Warriors?

RDR is definitely my favorite Rockstar game, and while I've never really been able to get into GTA, I like their approach to sandboxes and storytelling.  As far as major developers go, I appreciate that they tend to be pretty willing to try new things, even if they don't always work out.

Re: bank robbery. I loved it, but did anyone else beat it by running back into the subway and running until their wanted level was gone and then taking a cab? I thought it was hilarious that they went into a cab with bags full of money, then proceeded to talk about how their bank robbery.

Thrillho:
No, I didn't think of that, and honestly I found it more fun this way.

I did a similar thing with that biker who you chase to the park though, I just gunned him down on his bike before he even got there.

All this talk reminds me now of when I stopped playing GTA4, and sort of why.
(click to show/hide)The cinematic execution of Luca Silvestri...one of the guys you worked with to pick up stolen diamonds (in the garbage truck) who decided to keep them instead.

My problem was that for most of the game the execution mechanic had been used either in a kill/spare choice system or when it was really dramatic (Vladimir, Mikhail, etc.). Those were powerful moments with characters we'd established ties to. Hell even the one where you murder the old guy you break out of that prison convey was kind of rough to me, due to the circumstances of going from savior to killer as his hope builds and then shatters.

But Luca's death was a poor choice. Little rapport built beforehand, obvious betrayal on his part, and then nothing new or interesting in what came after. Just a chase into a bathroom.

I wasn't 100% trying to at the time, but I finished the mission, saved, and never played again.

Oh, my first playthrough, I did everything standard, although I may have used the tunnel to my advantage while driving. Future playthroughs would have me pretty much take taxis everywhere and try to find new ways to beat a level. For example, the level with the lawyer: (click to show/hide)You have to kill him and then shoot your way out. The second playthrough I used a shotgun...and inadvertently shot out the window behind him. I jumped out and drove away with just a two-star instead of a three, because I hadn't killed any cops and didn't have to. In a later playthrough, I stabbed him, and then...he died, and nothing happened. I picked up the file, put away my knife and walked out the front door. Nobody tried to stop me, and nobody discovered the body while I was there. I got into a car, and drove to meet the deputy commissioner with not a single warning star. Although strangely dressing like a doctor got you into the room, but they noticed that you'd turned off his life support before you even made it to the lobby and immediately opened fire in that other mission. Oh well. Oh, and I agree re: Luca, but I don't think I noticed because I probably didn't bother switching to the pistol to kill him.
