I played "Hostile Negotiation" in GTA IV this afternoon.

The first time I played through it, my pistol aim was not accurate enough to eliminate the hostage taker in one headshot, so he executed cousin Roman. I started over again.

The second time through, I used a sniper rifle to pin point the target, so I blew his brain out in one clean shot. Just when I was giddy with my accomplishment, I drove through a construction site and the tire ran over a propane tank. It blew up the car, killing both Roman and myself. I was in such disbelief that I wasn't sure what happened at first. When I realized my mistake, I didn't know whether I should be laughing or crying. I felt like doing both at the same time.

The third time, finally, I did it without committing those mistakes.

This game should really have more frequent checkpoints.

Did the mission first time, every time. Even with the awful 360 controller back when I had to deal with that crap. :P

Very first time I played the missions, I first died early on, then I did the propane tank death ordeal. It was disheartening.

Sometimes I think the game developers at Rockstar just like to fuck with our heads.

What's the point of putting propane tank traps where the player can die accidentally? That's just cheap.
