Prediction: Heists will be a massive letdown.

I think they will be a letdown to a certain extent. A lot of people are trying to hype heists as making everyone rich, but I have a strong feeling that heists won't pay all that much. Would be awesome if they really did pay as much as everyone is hyping it out to be, but I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing "HEISTS NEED TO PAY MORE" threads soon after the release.

Have you play SP? if so then there's no need to explain.

In SP it is only applicable because you do not control the AI. Please explain how it matters when everyone is a player since I am brainless.

 

 

I already explained this. You're being facile.

 

No, i'm not.

 

I don't understand why we need a planning board when we can just say "Weenus, you drive, Blazin, you are our pilot, Admiral and everyone else will be shooting. We'll go in the back door quietly and stealth our way up here, steal the goods, and head out the front door and escape through the sewers."

I AM SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEO, BUT MY WEBCAM IS ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH.

Stank_Ranch, you'll be our diversion, when you go in the front door with the cat ears on we'll be barging in the back door.

Honestly I don't care if they don't pay all that much. If they're really fun and even better with a bunch of friends working together then it's fine by me. It's about the experience, not the payout.

How many do you honestly think they will add and will it be any fun after you and your friends blow through them in a week and all you can do is replay the same thing over and over? Titan of a job was awesome the first time you did it, ok the second and third, plain redundant beyond that.

Exactly, no one should have their hopes up for very high payouts of 200k+, or hell maybe even 100k+. with the way items are priced at the moment, that would lead to way to much inflation and everyone would have everything to quickly. Just have fun playing, and you'll get your stuff. If you don't enjoy playing, find a better way to spend your free time doing something you do enjoy.

Just a reminder, as has been stated in press previews, we'll be able to create our own heists at some point by using the content creator. I just hope its like the Infamous 2's content creator. That game did it fantastically!

 

Personally though, I'm expecting payouts of between 20-50 thousand dollars. That's being realistic.

Because, as I explained, heists are not ONE mission. They are more like a quest line. You'll get options of the mini-missions before hand. Acquiring the gear or vehicles, casing the joint out, then you will get to choose how you go in, quietly or loudly.

 

It is not simply yelling "LETS DO THE WHOLE GODDAMN VILLAGE!" into your mic. The different styles of entry in the heists required different items and different setup missions. Quietly requires gas to knock out the people inside the building, different methods required different escape routes which required different vehicles that you would acquire in the setup missions.

 

Stop being obtuse for the sake of proving some sort of subtle point against heists. It's not working.

Ok, so basically the planning menu is a slight variation on the same mission, IE you steal a truck instead of a helicopter, go in the back door instead of the front, or escape through the sewers instead of off the roof. I don't understand your point, if anyone is being obtuse it is you m8.

 

All these variations are is a different objective blip on your screen. Get real.

 

You don't think one particular method is going to be the verified quick, easy method that everyone uses?

Why not add a planning board for Titan of a job so you can decide to jump the fence with a car or fly into the airport in advance?

 

And I don't want to go on a "quest line"

 

I'm not playing everquest.

well considering they consist of 4 or 5 quest before the main one in SP, I assume they will resemble that model. if this were everquest it would take you way longer than anything in this game to get much accomplished.

As far as my expectations go, I just want it to be like it is in Single Player. I'll be thrilled if it's like that (with crew mates/friends of course)

Being facile implies that there are known truths to this heist system. Do you work for rockstar?

Admiral you seem to be arguing that heists will be a go here do that return kind of thing.

I played WoW alot and gave it up because that is what that game is its all about going here killing some guys and going back .

This is what online games are so i believe the first few heists will probably follow the familiar WoW quest line.

However GTAo will be hopefully a constantly evolving game with R* listening to the fan base and trying to implement fans ideas into missions and gameplay.

Heists may start out like that but over time the game will evolve with updates and DLC and vastly improve.

Dont forget this game has only been out for a short time and clearly needs polishing which R* are doing atm.

You're still doing it. You over simplified the way heists work, and the preparation for heists, for the sake of acting obtuse regarding the structure of heists. It doesn't matter how many times you childishly deny it, people like Jared and Jack posted exactly what I was saying.

One day, you will be honest enough to acknowledge and admit when you're off base. Today is not that day, unfortunately.

Done now, because you have no interest in having an actual discussion, you just attempted to hide flame rhetoric and complaints in the form of a question and now your behavior is exposing the true point of your post. You've sold yourself out.

Well. Like "the last chopper out of LS" each person may have different waypoints to reach from that original location.

 

Only people with best apartments will be able to initiate heists.

With random? yes. With actual friends and strategy it is always fun.

All I want is to be able to get a team together and take the heist down just like a NPC job. I do NOT want to be competing with other teams.

 

But I have no expectations. I'm just sitting back and waiting to see what we get.

 

I don't think they're going to come out looking anything like what we got in Story Mode.

 

 

 

In the end, when we finally get our heists, my prediction is this:

 

Some people will hate them just like they hate everything. Those people will come here. And bitch. Relentlessly. Because that's the only thing they know how to do.

I think most of us know this deep down inside but are trying to cling to some strand of hope. Is anyone with me on this?

 

How many heists do you actually think they will add? 3? 4? How bored will you be of the same ones after 3 days?

Your life is boring
