miltonlava Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 How does Franklin get involved In all these massive heists? Doesn't it seem a bit unrealistic, put yourself in Michales shoes, living in the hills as a professional why would he want to affiliate with a 'gang banger'? How do you think they will become acquainted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyBelic Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 That story will become clear when we play it, however we have heard Michael saying Franklin's "the son I've always wanted". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leezy810 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 He meets him by his therapists office and sees him repo and car and notices that he has a lot of driving ability and thinks he could use someone on heists who can drive very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it seem a bit unrealistic, put yourself in Michales shoes, living in the hills as a professional why would he want to affiliate with a 'gang banger'? How do you think they will become acquainted? He wants to get out of the hood and make money the real way, he meets Michael, he see him like a father, a boss and an oportunity to make real money, so he jumps in the team, I don't see anything unrealistic about this.

Len Lfc Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Not all 'gangbangers' are the same, they aren't all the stereotypical type you may think. I imagine Franklin has that 'special something' the desire to make it big & get out of the petty gangbabnger mentality & lifestyle. He has vision & determination, but also he's a little crazy & an adrenaline junkie form what we hear. Like it's already been pointed out, he's like the Son Michael always wanted.

wwinterj Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) How does Franklin get involved In all these massive heists? Doesn't it seem a bit unrealistic, put yourself in Michales shoes, living in the hills as a professional why would he want to affiliate with a 'gang banger'? I wouldn't call it unrealistic. Franklin wants to be the big cheese and wants a better life. Michale just needs the numbers for his heists plan. If you want money and you heard about a "deal" going down would you want a slice of the pie? Gang bangers have there use as they know the streets, know how to hijack cars, know how to fire a gun and know how to handle the cops. Everything Michale is looking for. I believe Michale meets Franklin outside the therapists house as seen in the trailer where Michale is sat on a bench. People are taking the "son I've always wanted" line a bit to literal.

Revolution-XW Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 That story will become clear when we play it, however we have heard Michael saying Franklin's "the son I've always wanted". This. 'He can probably fire a gun, seems like a muscle, and I just saw him steal a nice car from someone, which can be a useful driver for heists getaways and probably for finding the perfect getaway vehicle and roadblocking vehicles for the crew' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwinterj Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I feel this statement is racist for some reason More about lifestyle not race. That's the point of having three protagonists. It's giving us three very different walks of life that share one common interest and that's money. Much like the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpooge Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Franklin is a driver, Michael first met him he was stealing a car and such, I think he will come into it when Michael is looking for partners and needs a driver, he will remember him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackNoise Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Michael is bored with his life. He sees Franklin who isn't doing 'gang banger' sh*t at the time. In fact, Franklin is doing something that reminds Michael of how he use to be. Young, ambitious and robbing somebody. Michael probably feels that excitement he use to feel and later when he needs some help for the FIB job, he probably recruits Franklin. Or something similar to that.

rsgtafan Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Why do people still think Michael is serious when he say's ''Franklin, the son I always wanted''. But yeah.

The business he works for scams people and Franklin doesn't operate on a "legal" level when he forcibly takes the cars back. His Job is far from legit. And there's no difference between stealing and repossessing from Michael's eyes. Why do people still think Michael is serious when he say's ''Franklin, the son I always wanted''. Because you only get two choices. You either believe he was being serious or you don't. I believe he was. Mainly because his real son is sh*t. Why do you think he wasn't being serious?

Doesn't it seem a bit unrealistic, put yourself in Michales shoes, living in the hills as a professional why would he want to affiliate with a 'gang banger'? How do you think they will become acquainted? Not being rude, but you sound a bit thick asking these questions. * Firstly, you will find out as the story progresses through the game. That's the whole of playing the game so you find out. Why bother playing the storyline if you find out everything about storyline before playing the game ? DURRH * Franklin is an ex-gangbanger, now a repo man. Yes, we can assume judging from the screenshots and trailers that he's still closely affiliated with gang members and the gangbangin' culture. But for most part, he's trying to get away from that and elevate himself above lower-level street crime. He looks for a better to make lots of money fast, and for that aim he gets involved in heists. Not really that hard to understand. Again, DURRH. * So people from all different walks of life and social standing don't mix in American cities then ? Yeah in a city sure, you have luxury areas, the suburbs, the working class districts and the ghettos - but in a city, all kinds of people of any ethnicity are still free to mingle among one another. So what the f**k is so unrealistic about Franklin becoming acquainted with Michael. Unless Los Santos has a some kind of segregationist rules that enforced * In real life people who engage in organized crime very often tend to work and have dealings with other criminals that are the kind of people that they would otherwise not normally come into contact with or associate with on a regular, everyday basis. For instance, an immigrant Mexican or Colombian drug cartel cell boss in the U.S. might find himself wholesaling kilos of cocaine and heroin to African-American gangs from the ghettos for them sell it on for profit at retail level on the streets of that ghetto, because the gangs know it well. Because of nature of organized crime, gangsters will find themselves making alliances with anyone that has any certain or specific skills and expertise that would best serve or protect their interests, whether it's a Mafia boss, Hispanic drug lord, or Black street gang leader, race, class, whatever, makes no difference, the main aim for them is all about making money and becoming powerful. Nothing unrealistic about that. So what is so unrealistic about Michael and Franklin getting together to find a way to make fast, big bucks ? Next time use your brains properly.

BlackNoise Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Because he says ''That's Trevor, my best friend'' just before saying ''That's Franklin, the son I always wanted''And in the first trailer he says ''My kids, they would be like the kids on TV, we'd play ball and sit in the sun'' Is that what U call his dream kid? Doing heists with him? And do you really think that Trevor is his best friend? What he said about his kids is probably something he would say to his therapist. Most dads would want something like that. And Trevor might actually be his best friend. It's confirmed they are/were friends, but they had a falling out. Why else would he say Franklin is the son he always wanted? Sarcasm in that situation wouldn't even make sense. It's the first time they all meet together, so if Franklin is there, it's because Michael honestly sees something special about him. Compared to his own son, Franklin probably is the son he always wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by movies like the oceans series they are all professionals and George clooney doesn't go to the ghetto families to recruit people, he has connections. Also see heat. And with the 'durrrs'? Grow up man, I was just curious and had questions I wanted to raise to the community, sorry for not using my brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is if you sign paper work for a car for a certain price that is a legal agreement if you dont pay them they can take back there assets. I have personally seen a dealer buy a 2009 BMW 740Ilwith 30.000 miles for 6,500 and put a 40,000 dollar Price tag on it . That is legal. And if the person cannot pay for it They take it back .
