Even when I\'m not in the mood for doing anything mission-wise on it, I still turn the game on when there\'s nowt else doing, and just drive/fly around. The sheer size of the map means there is always plenty of open road to wind your way along.
I could quite easily spend an hour or so, just driving. Start of at CJ\'s mums house, then get on the motorway, drive north into Las Venturas, then get off the beaten track & into the winding roads of the desert, then head towards Gant bridge and head down through the streets of San Fierro, and go into the backwoods & towns surrounding Mt Chilliad, before making my way back into Los Santos.
If you actually stop to notice these things, you realise how the lighting & weather changes rom city to city, and from each part of the surrounding countryside.
There are always new things that you discover for the first time, especially if you keep one eye open for them while you are driving.
As well as that, there\'s the hidden objects to find.
That\'s what I do when I\'m bored and don\'t fancy doing missions in the game.
