Dope_0110 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I didn't see any topic on this, but it's something that will probably become a trend among sandbox game in the future and I'd love it to. So what I'm talking about is a system that generates missions.. forever. You do have the story and all that, but after it's done, it can get pretty lonely out there, at least for me, after a while I start to feel like there's no purpose. Missions give that to me. Skyrim introduced Radiant Story which can generate infinite quests based on a number of variables and GTA V has confirmed that you can replay missions when you're done with the story. But how would you feel about infinite original missions. We can sort of do that with vigilante, taxi and others already. But something like assassinations that you go to a payphone and target and scenario are randomly chosen from a number of different scenarios (riding in a boat, at home, riding in a car, shopping, in hospital, in jail etc). Car thefts where you need to find a certain car and deliver it. Package delivering etc. All that with simple cutscenes that are also limited in number and don't really contain details so they can be randomly used as well (eg. I have another job for you. My client wants you to take out a certain person who's been causing him problems. You will be payed upon completion'' etc.) To me this seems like a perfect DLC that would extend the value of GTA V till VI is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinterj Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thing is if they did this it would effect the 100% completion rating. If it didn't then I'd be all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have to affect the 100%. I personally never went for that but some like the number I guess. But since it would be infinite, of course it couldn't count towards 100% as you could never reach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution-XW Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I'm in. Good idea, OP. Maybe even releasing DLC which contain more side missions one where you have to find myths and clues for a scientist or news writer for his stories and on the news after you complete it, you can read about it and the person gives you personal credit and talks a bit about you. EDIT: Which of course, come with special reawards maybe guns and new vehicles and clothing rewarded from finishing these missions instead of getting money and buying the same things. The ideas...

Steven Ride Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Honestly I doubt this will be a feature. It was awful in Skyrim anyway. "Go kill Draugr/Dwemer/Vampires/Mages/Necromancers/Falmer in that cave/ruin/tomb/tower west of here and get me my sword!" got boring after a few times.

BlackNoise Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm thinking we'll be able to plan infinite heists, but that's about it other than side activities and the random events. Infinite story missions would suck IMO. We already have an app to replay story missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dope_0110 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I don't see them ever stealing from another game like that. But I can imagine them adding missions as DLC very easily. It's not stealing, that's how the whole world works. Someone makes something new and good, others follow. It's keeping up with the progress. Look at Scarface game, it came out after San Andreas and had some things that I've always wanted in GTA like shooting freely when in a car, instead of being confined to left/right drive by. Then comes IV and has that along with few other things Scarface introduced. Back to line, it's not infinite story missions. It's side missions that you do if you want to, or just never do them at all. Like this, trough story you're introduced to a certain character who runs some kind of assassination agency or just work for one as a message delivering boy. You get his number and whenever you want to, you call him and get a contract. It's like vigilante or paramedic missions. They're there, but you don't have to use them. Only these would have a better structure more simmilar to a real mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Bill Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes i think they will have these 'randomly' generated missions. I hope so anyway. They started to introduce them in San Andreas, and then you have all the random events in RDR which are confirmed to be in V. I think they will have a whole host of these to give more of a sense of purpose to the player after the story is dead. This is what i've been hoping anyway.

Dope_0110 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I was with you right up until you suggested it be DLC. Why? I'd like it to be in the main game, but it's obvious it won't be as they've only mentioned replaying story missions which will be their way of keeping you entertained after the story is done. So if it's not in the main game, they could work on it for a DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter De Blanc Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just because they haven't gone on about it doesn't at all mean it's obvious it's not there. Aside from robbing liquor stores, one of the ways they mentioned you could earn some quick cash was doing assassination missions. I don't see why they'd be limited if they're ostensibly a source of income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for it to be in the game when it comes out, but I'll rather assume it won't be as that's a more realistic assumption. There will probably be assassination missions like there were in IV or VC. The difference here would be making them infinitely randomly generated whenever you want instead of having eg 10 missions.

Cutter De Blanc Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think they'll be more like the bounty missions in RDR. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dead Rebel Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I like the idea! GTA V will feature random encounters, right? and those will be infinite. I hope they include "New Game Plus" or something like Far Cry 3 that you can reset the outposts get them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it about? My idea is infinite missions, regardless of what type of them, it can be made any way they want and the more variety the better.

Cutter De Blanc Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ya, me too. I just want them already in the game. Not having to pay an extra $9.99 or whatever for DLC that should have already been there in the first place. I think we'll be fine though. Rockstar releases high quality games.

Mokrie Dela Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Honestly? No. I wouldn't want Infinite missions. Once the game's done and I've 100% it, and/or completed the story, I don't usually play on. That's it, the game gets put aside and I play other games. Then I'll come back to the game and be re-awesomefied. So if there were "infinite" missions, then I would dislike that.

MrSpooge Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Gang Wars and Drug Wars were infinite missions with random scenarios. And Vigilante. I'd think these 3 would have to make a return, or at least I hope. Along with those 3 you've also got Assassinations which have been confirmed which could also be randomized. Though would most likely run out of steam in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinite story missions would suck IMO. We already have an app to replay story missions. Im cool with that, infinite heists. They would have to give us loads of different/types of places to rob (maybe home invasions as well?) and a host of ways to go about it like stealth in the night, guns blazing, solo - more money or with a group of thieves - less payout, a no-casualty or leave no witnesses bonus, hostage situations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChronoStinger Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'd rather leave them up to the likes of taxi, vigilante, paramedic and firefighter! These should be looping and infinite, kinda like "survival" mode in a fighting game, which tests you how long you can last! Same goes to these type of missions! But the rest like assassinations, vehicle delivery and such should be all limited! thats MY opinion off course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I was thinking this same thing when playing IV. They had the "current crimes" missions from the cop cars that went on forever but everything else stopped at a certain number. I agree the side missions should be infinite.

S1LV3R_W0LF Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I assume that the random events could work out like this, and with all they been saying I think we can do many heists as we want, I mean in past GTA's (before IV) we could rob stores, in SA we could rob homes... I mean small things like this can be easely added to the game and be in a "loop" without getting old. Of course that would depend on how many interiors there are and such, but a mini heists, a store robbery or even a gas station robbery could have lots of consequences. It's not the robbery itself only, it's the robbery and then the pursuit, the run away and all the consequences. Well Idk I'm not making the game but I would do something like that, but I think Rockstar might have something like that in their sleeve. The possibilities are so many.
