Officer Ronson Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Now I wanna ask people why; How much of the story does the FIB part of the story compromise, and are we actually working for the FIB? I was writting a longer post but then I just decided to just put this. Edited April 10, 2014 by Officer Ronson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was writting a post but then I just decided to just put this. FIB is involved in everything you do, FIB here, FIB there oh and FIB in LS, FIB in Blaine County. The FIB in GTAV is f*cking annoying, all the heists you do for the FIB, it's bs. Story sucks thanks to the FIB im_stoned, matajuegos01, jondean31 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Ronson Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Well to be honest you just made yourself a little bit stupid in my point of view. There are eight missions that involve the FIB with two being heists. ChrisMathers3501 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutter De Blanc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Are you including the missions where you have to do stuff in order to do stuff for the FIB? The whole Paleto Bank robbery for instance (Not to mention it's bunch of set-up missions), while not an FIB mission is used to get money so you can do a mission for the FIB.

Tycek Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It doesn't matter as you were forced to rob that bank for the FIB to get only the chump change (as rest was took by Haines). Also FIB part takes actually 26% of the story (17 out of 65 missions). theGTAking101 and Niobium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycek Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Since you put it that way, we need to exclude a lot more missions and that leaves us with story having 47 missions. In that case FIB stuff takes only 19%, which is still too much. One fifth of the story is being FIB gimp. Mister Pink and Niobium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerukal Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) They're clearly just padding missions, though. To add more to the overall mission count. Considering them as actual relevant missions that involve the FIB in some big way is foolish. Might as well use common sense and exclude them (and other "missions" similar to them). Since they're part of the Heist mission branches anyway. Edited April 10, 2014 by Xerukal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tiger~ Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I was actually referring to the fact that they are FIB missions. Ahh. apologies. My point though is, in answer to Officer Ronson, I feel that the FIB are a part of the story, not the crux of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staten Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) are we actually working for the FIB? No, Michael, Trevor and Franklin are working for two corrupt FIB officers who have turned to crime in order to secure funding and fame. At one point they have their own organisation attacked in order to stay out of prison. Edited April 10, 2014 by Staten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Ronson Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Now there, I was actually asking in story terms if you actually are doing something for the FIB. As long as I am concerned we're working with Dave and Steve, and plus if we are directly doing the missions for them, because in heist preps you are ordered to get that equipment by Lester therefore those heist related missions are handed to you by Lester in order to perform a heist.

Cutter De Blanc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I felt like as soon as I met Steve Haines the FIB were gonna be up my ass until I killed him. I never could shake that feeling until the end of the game. Even when I wasn't doing sh*t for them I always felt "on-call" as it were. matajuegos01 and Pavle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, even though Haines and Norton are the ones who demand the money, it's Lester who comes up with the Paleto Score, and works out how to strike the FIB. And it's Michael who comes up with the plan for Blitz Play, though Haines and Norton are the ones who set the object. So I would say that out of that list earlier, the only missions that are directly from Dave and Steve are Dead Man Walking, Three's Company, By the Book and Monkey Business. Four missions.

This is all that matters. Regardless of who plans out how it goes down, the fact of the matter is whatever you're doing is because of Haines & Norton. Ergo, they are FIB related. For example, Lester's assassination missions. The only thing he does is tell Franklin where the target(s) is/are and sometimes suggest how to take them out. Everything else is left up to Frank to execute. That doesn't change the fact that F is still working for Lester. In the case of equipment retrieval and heist prep, it's the same thing. Mike and Lest are doing the planning because the FIB need them to. Anything that falls under that is FIB related. *it's sad that I have to put a disclaimer, but I don't have a huge problem with the FIB involvement in the story. My gripe lies with the fact that they didn't bother to flesh out each character's individual arc's more, especially Franklin's. This, I believe, led to the poultry 69 main mission total* matajuegos01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niobium Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 if there's one thing that rockstar promised gta V to be about, it's the pursuit of 'the almighty dollar'. but I never did really got that feeling with gta V, especially since you worked for the FIB instead. for 3 of the 6 heists, the protags were only doing these heists because a bunch of FIB agents forced micheal to. then you have to hand over like 3/4 of the profit to the FIB agents. it doesn't feel like you were pursuing the heists for your own personal gain. it just feels like you were doing the heists just for the FIB's gain. you were basically the FIB's bitch. one might say, "the FIB agents only gave you 8 missions", but they are missing the point. the point is that the game mislead people into thinking that they would rob banks only for themselves, only to find out that on 3 of the heists, you are actually doing those heists for the FIB, and on 2 heists, you don't even make any profit.

warlord GTAV Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 it was a lot, but I think it was to set the story up if they stick to there word we are getting substantial story mode dlc.now there free of the fib hopefully it will be atleast 30 new missions and the casino maybe some new apartments..but this could be realeased in 2021 at this stage.

Wesk_ Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) before the game was released, i thought that we really do the heists because the characters wants the money or somethign else, and in the end 3 heists was for the fib and the story was more related for the fib._. only the first (ok this heist was because michaels destroyed one of martins houses) the second heist and the last heist, was because the protoganist wants to do it and don´t get forced to do it i think the most of us thought that^^ that the fib take a part in the story was clear, because michaels witness protection, but that they take a big role, that i didn´t expected. the story would be better, if the are not so many missions for the fib (maybe 1 oder 2 heist only for the fib) but more for the protoganist, because they want to do it and not get forced to do it. (and more from martin madrazo ._. and the beta heist ) i still like the game and its my favorite gta.^^ Edited April 11, 2014 by GTAV112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Pink Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Slightly off topic but in response to the FIB missions... I wish Rockstar would lay off the being a gimp for someone else missions. I know it's always been sort of like an underlying theme in most GTA's. For once, I'd like to be an unashamedly greedy bastard that takes it all for me - a bit like Tommy Vercetti. IV was a gimp-fest of epic proportions in the sense that Niko got f*cked around so much by everyone else that if you could park a bus in his ass at the end of the game and he wouldn't even feel a draft. CJ go dicked by Tenpenny but I could live with that some how - it's Samuel L. Jackson, probably in his last decent role and it fit the cop "stereotype" in LA back then. Let me be the boss. Let me f*ck people about. Come at me... let ME be the lovable bad guy... almost like Tony Soprano.

Algonquin Assassin Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) To me it really doesn't matter how many missions there are concerning the FIB as the entire second half of the game still feels like being the errand boys for them. Other GTAs have involved law enforcement/federal agencies before in their stories yet didn't feel like they were a focal point. The reason a lot of people dislike the FIB strand is it doesn't feel very "GTA".

The story at the start is pretty good as it actually feels like a real GTA however as soon as those two uninteresting tools Dave and Haines enter it that's when things go to sh*t IMO.
