Is it just me, or does this game not have near as much side stuff to do as San Andreas had? Maybe I'm just not far enough in the game yet(just a shade under 50% finished), but you can't really dick around with stuff in this one like you could in SA. The graphics are 100 times better and it seems so much more realistic, but there's a couple things I miss that SA had.

Like jumps, for one. I just discovered that wicked jump in Alderney where you can clear the water and go into Algonquin. But there doesnt seem to be a ton of em(unless I havent looked hard enough), I miss the insane jumps on SA, like takin a bike off the top of Mount Chiliad. I also liked the different arcade games. IV has one, but it's pretty lame.

There just seemed to be so much more side stuff to entertain yourself with in SA(gambling, jumps(especially in SF), arcades, take over gang territories, those different stadium missions like the stunt track and crash derby, etc). I really like GTA IV for the realism, and its an awesome, awesome game. But at least to me it seems like outside of doing missions, all there really is to do is walk/drive/fly/sail around and oogle the cool scenery.
