Aj, where can you get a knife from? I've tried fighting people in the street and usually what happens is one of two things:
I end up beating them, so they lay there on the floor and the people around him start circling me and trying to beat me up instead. Maybe I just haven't adjusted to the fighting skills but how do you beat up wave after wave of people? I tried to run away as my energy was going down. I ran in to Roman's house but sadly they followed and gave me an ass kicking in there too, so I ended up at the hospital!
Secondly the police just jump in and so I go racing around the city trying to evade them. I usually get quite good at this, until I hit something spectacularly and the car flips. Still most of the time I'm able to evade them.
I now have a gun as was given it by that Jamaican guy, who is impossible to understand.

I just follow the instructions on the screen and hope that's right. Did that concrete jungle one mission which seemed fairly straighforward although it did include a lot of killing. I think it's amazing that the guy you play as knows instinctively where these criminals have disappeared to and can pinpoint them so accurately on the map!
Think I'm going to try that beach idea and see what happens from there. Would like to get richer, then I need to work out what you do with all the cash. Guessing that Michelle has a backstory as rich and thick as Nico's and guess you have to keep taking her out to do stuff so that the story can evolve. Just wondering where it will lead to next.
Still the game is good, it's just that there are some bits that right now I'm not as happy about. Still haven't tried online deathmatches because if I struggle to beat up people in the street, I will have no chance with the online battles.
