arrowface10 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 So if anyone here that played GTA: Sanandreas, certainly knows what I'm talking about when it comes to waiting until 9:00PM to start a mission! Because back in GTA:SA There were missions where you had to wait until it was a certain time, until you could start it, and boy was it annoying, because could you imagine if the missions had to start at 8:00 AM but then you arrive at 9:00 AM, and now you have to wait an ENTIRE DAY TO DO THE MISSION! and honestly I can't express how annoying that was, and I hope it isn't brought back, because it honestly set me back various time's and pissed me off A LOT of times! Do you guys think this should be in the game or not? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilefty Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I always went to the nearest safehouse and saved the game to pass the time faster.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAmmunation Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Def not. We should have to wait to call people, as usual. But missions, no. People perform crime at all hours of the day. No mobster is like "Wait till 9 to steal it, you don't want to wake anyone up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mobster is like "Wait till 9 to steal it, you don't want to wake anyone up." Um from the looks of the game the missions/heists will be a little more organized. So when you plan a heist I am sure "time of day" will play a significant part. Plus stealing something at night is better then in the daytime so that "Mobster" you mentioned might just wait til 9.

Dick Justice Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It worked well enough in Red Dead Redemption. If a mission wasn't currently available, the letter on the radar would only be at 50% of the regular size. You didn't have to ride across the map just to be told to come back later, you'd know what missions you could and couldn't do just by glancing at the map. It was always a problem when you'd drive a long way to do something only to be told to come back later, but it's a simple fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you plan a heist I am sure "time of day" will play a significant part. I hope this is the case. I genuinely enjoyed setting appointments in IV and hope heists work in much the same way. The fact that our smartphone will have a calendar in V is very reassuring. It worked well enough in Red Dead Redemption. If a mission wasn't currently available, the letter on the radar would only be at 50% of the regular size. You didn't have to ride across the map just to be told to come back later, you'd know what missions you could and couldn't do just by glancing at the map. Great point in defense of time-specific missions. As long as there is some forewarning, I can't see why the player can't plan their in-game day around it. Also, with three characters to switch between, there will be plenty of other things to do while waiting for a particular mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, we're talking about 3 guys who can seemingly take 200 bullets to their body, does it really matter what time they perform the robbery and how much trouble they get in with the police if they get caught?

The Mobster tells you what to do and you do it. Heists can happen anytime. And I meant 9 AM, not wait till 9 PM. Prolly should've specified...

gzam1312 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If you don't want to busy yourself for a few hours, one day, etc. so that the story actually makes logical sense, then I'm afraid GTA is probably not your cup of tea as they say in old Blighty.

Grand Theft Savage Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Yeah, it should be eliminated. It takes away a little bit of freedom, not allowing you to do the mission when you want. I love doing missions at night. Edited May 6, 2013 by Grand Theft Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinterj Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Do you guys think this should be in the game or not? Why? It should because some missions should only be done at night and so on. It's more realistic also. You can always sleep to make time go faster if you don't want to go and do other things. Sleeping also serves as saving so that's a plus. There is also the calendar app. Maybe mission notes will be on there such as the time of day, the day of the week and location so you won't have to travel to the mission just to be told to come back later.

iCaramelBird Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It wasn't that tedious in GTA San Andreas, so I wouldn't mind it coming back. Plus it'd make much more sense since a lot of planning would be going into these 'heists'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrcTOtheJ Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well, I understand because there's something that fit being done at night better than the day, but I personally think that the mission should just skip you to that time, if you need to do something at night because the story dictates it then it should advance time to the earliest time that the mission should take place E.G 9:30PM and you go on your merry way. That said I never had that much of a problem with it anyways as there were safe houses to advance time, as well as plenty of activities to do, especially from the sounds of V, there should be allot to do.

killahmatic Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I don't mind if V has missions where you have to wait until it gets dark to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWetPartoftheArm Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I don't mind at all, some missions are probably deliberately designed for night because you don't get the same atmosphere otherwise. Plus certain heists will make more sense taking place during the night shift when buildings are more empty and stealth can be employed easier. It doesn't exactly take a huge amount of effort to save the game at the nearest safehouse and advance the time six hours or so, it's not like you literally have to wait that long to do the next mission. I also remember in the original GI preview that they said something about not being able to play certain missions until you have enough money, and I like that idea. It encourages you to engage in other things aside from the main story to earn cash, and I suspect you'll also have to assemble certain things for the heist missions i.e crew and equipment which won't activate otherwise. They did a similar thing in VC, did they not? Where you couldn't play a certain mission until you had enough money? It made the game feel longer, which was better. Mission restrictions can seem irritating at first, but overall I think they add to the experience and prevent you from rushing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racecarlock Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Oh well if it isn't the old classic "REALIZUM!!!" argument. Look, GTA is not the real world. I know it's confusing with those fantastic graphics, but one would think the addition of special abilities would clue people in. This is not reality. It's a game. Haven't you guys heard of suspension of disbelief? Is it really so low that you have to ask for virtual fuel and virtual fitness and virtual bills and virtual jail and virtual schedules just to feel immersed? I mean, you guys have played other games and gotten immersed in other games, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dope_0110 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I was never bothered with that much. There weren't too many of those mission and it was never a case of ''Be there at 8 PM or we're not doing this at all if you're here at 8:30''. They always had a fair region of about 4 or more hours in which you had to be there so it was all good. Guess some heist missions may have this, or maybe just as an option. I don't mind it really.

gta5freemode4eva Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 There could be an option to 'skip-to-mission' where the time would jump to the time needed. People wouldn't have to use it but if all you were going to do was go to the safehouse, save game to skip time, then go back to the mission, it would save all this stuff. Or you could do wait for the time needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
