Other annoying features include your parked car sometimes vanishing into thin air (together with the equipment you have stored inside it) if you leave it out of eyesight and then board another vehicle, or the fact that the environment feels too static. For example, follow the eastern road out of the capital and you will happen upon a military convoy being attacked by mafia. Every single time you drive past this stretch of road there will be a similar ambush taking place. Patterns get repetitive among the factions as well. Gameplay-wise it doesn't make that much difference which factions you side with, as their bases are always of the same generic type. Unless you follow the campaign the experience will be a bit bland, as your actions are having a negligible impact on the gaming world.
