Man, and I just end up HATING the GTA. I did playthrough Vice City which was kinda the re-invention of the franchise, but these games are like real work man!</p>
</p>
Gotta call this chick to make sure she is cool so I can use her for rides and crap and I gotta hang out with THIS cat because he can make bombs but I have to keep him in friend land so I have to hang out with him and I need cash so I need to go do...</p>
</p>
UG! I have to do this is real life! I think I got through 15 min of GTA 4 until I knew i would NEVER play it. </p>

Yeah they changed that in GTA V. You can still hang out with friends, but it's all optional, you don't need to do it in order to keep them as friends.</p>
