3. In the Jaws of a Loan Shark

Concrete Jungle

Drive him a bit east, toward the airport, and after you let him off, go and wait in the back alley on the left. After the call, just ram straight into the three fleeing dealers, and hopefully you get them in one charge. If not, feel free to drive them down in the streets, but it's best to just jump out and pop some rounds into them as they do have guns. Once they are done, go back to the front for Jacob.

Now go to the second location and get out with Jacob. Follow him to the door and take cover. The cover system is Gears of War style. Just pop out and shoot the guy on the stairs, then go look through the window, and yes, you can blind-fire, but it's best to pop out and fire. Then go in, kill two more enemis, and then the spoils are yours. There are guns, a first aid kit, and a shotgun, so pick it all up and get back in the car. Drive Jacob back and that's all from him.

Now that Jacob has no more work for you, feel free to go on dates with either Roman or Michelle (and I hope you realize you are just hanging out with Roman and you do not actually have him as a love interest), but when you call people, be aware of the time of day, for Michelle anyway. For Roman, you can go to a number of places. If you do go with Roman, feel free to drive north to the Strip Club, just don't get lost and don't forget to pay the toll. Now, I will say nothing of going to the strip club, but it is a big improvement from the last game - where is some hot coffee when you need it?

Upon him liking you a lot, which I assume taking him to the strip joint will do, then he will like you enough to give you free cab calls whenever you like, just like you set up the strip club outing. As for Michelle, on the second date you should get the Darts place on your map, so set a marker there and take her out. For the darts game, just chip away at your score, and when you get down to 20 or less, start planning so that you can hit a double score to reach zero; double scores are on the outer edges, so if you have ten points left you will need to hit the tiny sliver of five to get ten and double out. Aiming is not hard, just takes a wee bit of patience, and oh yeah, don't take
forever to throw either.

Once you've won, take her home and try your luck. Darts and the diner are her thing, so hopefully you can get a taste of her "hot coffee", or in this case, "tell me interesting things!"

Now is time for Roman's job, not just a man-date.

Uncle Vlad

Just get a ride and head over to your old friend. Use the shotgun if you want and once the first two goons are dead, run out the door and then get on your ride to chase down Vlad. Just catch up to him and the dock and get out to confront him. As he is talking, lock on and notice the flashing reticle, that means you can execute him. Shoot and then you get a nice long cutscene.
