The End is Near: GTA-SA

I had to look it up because the game is really pissing me off.

I'm four missions away from completing...well, finishing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I've been held up for the last few hours by one mission where I need to take back some 'hood for Grove St.

Taking back territory is a piece of cake. I can do it by myself. But for some reason, if you try to take a crew with you, including your stupid brother who has his own health meter, a 20-minute shooting session can be completely ruined by, say, a rogue citizen in their Greenwood running a stop sign and flatting said idiot brother, ending the mission.

I hate having to fight the rules and physics of the game that have nothing to do with really winning or losing your objectives. Sure, Mario jumping into a whole on level 8-8 is pretty bone head, but Mario wouldn't have ever died falling into a hole because he tripped over a Fire Flower. Or getting a nasty prick picking up an Invisible Star the wrong way.
