The reason for asking is because I remember playing Grand Theft Auto III. I thought I'd play the story mode without bothering with the side missions. After completing most of the story mode, I decided to try the side missions. Bad move.

Before starting any story missions, no one is your enemy. You can walk, run, or drive through any neighborhood and no one will bother you. However, after completing some missions for some boss... that boss's enemies will become your enemy. Once you complete all the missions, they all become your enemy.

When that happens, you can't get through the side missions without anyone going after you. With the fire truck, you have to race to find the fire and put it out. With people shooting at you all the time, your fire truck will blow up and mission is over. The same goes with the ambulance missions. Plus, it's something you have to keep up. If you end the mission, you have to start over.

I wanted to unlock ALL secrets for 100%, and doing that after doing the story missions first made it difficult.
In my view I dont find that as an recommendation to complete the side missions before doing the story missions. You will still get enemies no matter where u go. More of the side missions will unlock as you complete some of the story missions. There are still other things to collect such as rubber bands, cards, and other special items where ur in story missions, could help you find those in your way. side missions just dont appear to me to be very important tasks to do in the game. I just go after the real things in order to get me to finish the game, whether its 100% complete or not, you would still have fun in story modes anyway.

I would finish the side missions when I feel like playing Bully again as of right now I'm playing God of War : Chain of Olympus on my PSP.

I have beat Daxter and it wasnt 100% either but the side missions such as Daxter's dreams is just only optinal.
