Let's be honest: Who here actually plays the HD remake when they already finished the original? I know I haven't played any of mine.
Honestly, I beat it on the PS3, I got bored of singleplayer, went online, got shot every time i spawned when i started a new character. Getting in a mission was a godsend as I wouldn't be camped like every 2 seconds.
Yes, I tried the passive mode. However that doesn't apply in vehicles. And if you're stupid, vehicles are how everyone gets around. Guess how well that went.
