So I spent all last night attempting to do Fixer Contracts, and I just can't ever seem to finish them either on time or with a car that isn't utterly destroyed. I have a hard time believing that this game started its life as a driving game. (Maybe I am disconnected from racing games, IDK)
I did find out that motorcycles handle perfectly though. There is a dirt bike, one for off road and one for on road, that you can order up from jordi, and OMG they are perfect.
Also, I went on a rampage at one point with thugs near a safe house. I let them keep calling in backup and eventually the police showed up. I noticed that the police "Rubberband" to always stay in range of you UNLESS you use hacking to stop them. It doesn't actually make sense, I led them on a chase around the entire city for about 20 minutes, and regardless of how far away I got, if I didn't hit a hack, they would immediately get in front of me or to the side.
I had read this was an issue, but never tested it.
Also! You can actually plan your rampages around this sort of thing. Over in Brandon Docks there is a section with loads of street lights, Blockers, and even a bridge. You can get to 4-5 of those meter things for wanted level. Pop up a few blockers, and a street light, and BAM they give up, regardless of the range. Its really weird.
I dont' know though, the game has fun spots, I enjoy attacking the hideouts, but the game is quickly falling apart on me.
The hype train has pretty much completely derailed.
