4. Construction
I think nearly ever chapter of the GTA series has shown us some sort of construction site. Most of them have a mission tied to them somehow. We work for the developer to get people off the site, we work for the opposition to slow down the developer. The trailer for GTA V shows us a large skyscraper in the process of being built, and I assume it will also be incorporated into the gameplay. Of all the time that passes in a GTA game, every day must be Sunday because no one is ever on the site doing anything remotely resembling work. Nothing ever gets built. These partial towers stand frozen in time, a virtual Ryugyong Hotel in our digital city. Heck, even that has seen some changes in the past few years. I want to see progress: lets have a finished building at some point, be it during the main story line or after. I wouldnt even mind not being able to go inside the finished building, so long as theres a complete skyline. We dont need to actually witness any construction, just have the next phase rendered after a certain number of days until its done.
