And maybe the storyline is really simple and without frills, but its implementation is worthy of deep respect.

The Truck jacking story line had no real resolution. One bad heist and it sort of ended there. The racing thing had only a minor resolution....
... and then there were no real repercussions for anyone's actions and that i…
