More side missions please

[Guest]

In GTA4 you had side missions like the hitman via payphone, Bruce's carjack via emails, Lil Jacob's drug runs via phone, etc. These side missions help keep the game alive once you've finished the story. I really hope R* impliments alot more in the next game. I mean the city is going to be huge so it would be great if they gave us alot to do in it as far as side missions. Here are a few ideas I'd like to see.

 

 

Traffic Cop - In GTA4 you could steal a cop car and get missions from the computer. I'd like to see this return but with more too it.

 

1st, I think we should be required to wear a police uniform when riding around in a police car. What I mean is if a cop sees you in a police car in street clothes they will assume you stole it and come after you. To avoid this you must be wearing a police uniform. 2 ways to get the unifom are a) do a mission where you pretend to be a police which adds a uniform to your clothes closet like the garbage and doctor missions from GTA4, b) get a uniform from the trunk after stealing it (if you have a friend with you they will also put on one).

 

2nd, Besides the missions from the database allow us to respond to the police scanner.

 

3rd, allow us to gain rewards from these missions. For example, chase down a robber and get his money, chase a carjacker and get the car, etc.

 

Paramedic - Basically this is a timing based mission with 2 types of missions. Sometimes you will need to rush to the scene and heal ppl on the spot and other times you will be asked to rush someone to the hospital. Like the traffic cop missions you must be wearing a uniform (paramedic) when driving an ambulance or the cops will chase you. The uniform can again be obtained from a mission and added to your clothes or be put on via the back of the ambulance. The rewards from this could be some of the ppl you heal or save would give you stuff on the spot after you heal them or they call you later and reward you.

 

Firefighter - Another timing based deal of course where basically you must rush to the scene and put out car fires, house fires or anything else that can support a big fire. Again you must be wearing the correct uniform or the cops will chase you. This can also include saving missions where you must save someone from a burning building which again can result in getting rewards from ppl.

 

I suggested that uniforms are required with the above but its not a must and R* could just make it like in GTA4 where you do these in street clothes. I just think it would be a nice touch and look better to do the missions with the proper uniforms on.

 

Food Delivery - Basically this is like the drug run missions for Lil Jacob. You must rush and get the food to the customer before the time runs out. As for the delivery vehicles it would be like Roman's taxi missions where you have to go to the resturant and get a delivery vehicle/food then deliver or if you already have a delivery vehicle you just need to go get the food then deliver. Sometimes you will get rewards like big tips for making it on time but mostly this job is just a tool used to assasinate ppl who are well protected. So basically there will be multiple story missions where this could come in handy.

 

While I'm on this one I'd like to suggest another addition that I seen on this forum somewhere that I thought was a good idea (if it was your idea let me know so I can give you credit ). Anyway, in GTA4 you can have guns delivered to you (Lil Jacob), a ride (Roman) and even backup (Dwayne). Why not get health delivered too? What I mean is you could call a pizza guy to come to your location. This would be great for those times when you arent close to a food place. It could also be a way to heal the friends you have with you since multiple ppl can eat on a pizza.

 

Taxi Driver - Same as Roman's taxi jobs except these are done with normal city taxi's. You basically either respond to the scanner with the twist being you must hurry to pick them up or another taxi will beat you to them or respond to ppl who whistle you down. The rewards are sometimes you get huge tips and you can meet some useful contacts or run into other random side mission (like the blue icons on he map in GTA4). Like the food delivery this job could also be used as a tool during assasination missions.

 

Bounty Hunter - This is basically similar to the hitman missions except you cant kill the targets. Instead you must aprehend them and take them to a destination. To aprehend them you must either knock them out with a punch or shoot them in the legs then put them in the trunk. If you have help with you then they could force them into the backseat at gun point and you drive to the destination.

 

Protection Agency - There could be an ageny that specializes in protection. Once you get hired you either get a call from them at random times telling you where to go and what to do or you have to go to the agency building for the missions. Once given the task your job will last a few ingame hours meaning you must protect them until you're off. You will be providing protection such as:

 

Bodyguard - Protect a specific person wether at their home or while driving them around. If at their home you must stand guard and stop anyone trying to get to them (especially the pizza guy ) and if driving (sometimes they will want to go places) you must keep them safe.

 

Security - Guard buildings wether its standing out front of the building or patrolling the perameters of the building with a flashlight stopping burglars from breaking in. Buildings such as banks, car dealerships, etc.

 

Club bouncer - Like in TBOGT but alot more action. Tons of club fights and throwing ppl out please.

 

 

Just a few things I think would help keep things going after we complete the story. Another thing, in GTA4 the side missions eventually ended. R* please make the side missions unlimited. Also, please allow the friends to go on these mission with us. In GTA4 you could only take Dwaynes backup on missions. That is all. Thoughts?

I like the Protection Agency idea a lot and I hope something similar is included.

 

I'm hoping that Trevor's Enterprise is given a lot of depth and isn't just something that runs itself you know? I want to be able to arrange deals with people, or go and try to sell in other places that aren't in his territory. Imagine getting chased out of the hood by some local dealers, and better yet if you take off in a car they follow you and are aggressive as hell. I'd also like to see backlash from expanding into other territories, something like driving around doing nothing and a car rolls up on you and opens fire, I'd also like to see this happen if you're walking around somewhere(Even in the mountains).

 

I'd like Franklin to have an endless supply of callers or contacts that request him to steal certain cars and deck them out in certain ways (If car customization is present) and deliver the cars within at least one in game day.

 

I'd like for Michael to have different monologues that explain why he moved to LS, and... I don't know much about what he does other than plan heists and hang with Jimmy lol.
