Okay it depends what you define as a side mission. Those "real" story driven side missions, like the one with the self-thinking-car-service are well written and quite enjoyable, but I meant all those non-saying sude missions that are sprinkled over the map, where you have to fight against some gangsters, which are everytime the same. But that must not be annoying, you just don't have to clear all of them :D
