Del boy Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I thought out of all the endings that option c was the worst, there was no emotion no sense of tension. To put it bluntly it was a typical Hollywood ending. matajuegos01, Chips237 and theGTAking101 3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/718485-did-any-of-you-think-that-option-c-was-a-cop-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeriodZeroHero Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Isn't GTA supposed to be satire of typical Hollywood Movies? Maybe it was on purpose? If not they need to get better writers for that laughable story.

TweezingThen Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I think the entirety of GTA 5's story had flaws, mostly due to a lack of focus in narrative. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the characters, but GTA 5 lacked a coherent common goal among the three protagonists. I mean, I liked the story, but a central villain would have been nice. Before GTA 5 came out, I thought it would be the female cop on the artwork. She could have been a Tennpenny-esque character, and it would have been a great challenge for M, F, and T, and I could definitely seem them getting angry over being emasculated and a female villain would also be a nice representation of how women are starting to play more dominant roles in modern society. But I found GTA 5 to have a satisfactory story and great characters, and I hope they add more depth to Franklin, who I believe was the most underdeveloped character, in the DLC this year.

Fuzzknuckles Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Isn't GTA supposed to be satire of typical Hollywood Movies? Maybe it was on purpose? THIS. GTA, as ever, was a satirical look at American life and Hollywood movies. It has always been this way, even in the top down days. A lot of people bitched about having to work for the FIB and IAA, but I think this was just further satirical comment from R* - that no matter how hardened a criminal you are, the boss is always a dick, and these days, the biggest crimes are being staged by governments and their agencies.

Xerukal Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Nah. It was exactly what it should've been. Except, I wish it was kind of tied in with the final "Big Score". Like M, F and T having to fend off every single group they wronged (Merryweather, The Chinese, etc...) while sitting on those tons of gold. That would've added tension and more bombastic "coolness" to it. Have your current assigned crew participate in the whole fight, too. Michael, Franklin, Trevor and Packie going through the streets, piling up Merryweather and NOOSE body counts. Would've added a familiar feel (Three Leaf Clover). Maybe have a few of the crew members die, too. That never happens, unless you purposely pick all the inept cretins.

Must admit I rushed through the first bit of the game as I just couldn't wait to meet Trevor.

voyager Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 it was mice nuts. should have been an option for F to kill both M and T and then either commit suicide, OD on something, or get HIV from a prostitute and die in a hospital all alone. or for all 3 to be sent to a white collar prison for tax evasion. you know, something more realistic.

Alec Skorpio Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) It's more feasible than killing all the antagonists in the same mission without any repercussion or any loss at the end. This happens in like, every GTA since San Andreas. I mean, I don't know how you can say ending C is less feasible than other GTA endings. GTAIII - A single man kills over 20 heavily armed members of the Columbian Cartel on a hydro-electric dam, ending with a helicopter crashing into said dam, then casually walks away from the scene and escapes with no repercussions. Vice City - A full blown assault on a residential mansion resulting in Tommy killing numerous mobsters, two faced associate Lance Vance and notorious mob kingpin Sonny Forelli with absolutely no repercussions. San Andreas - CJ single handedly assaults a building that has been converted into a crack production facility, killing numerous Ballas, Vagos, Russian Mobsters and Big Smoke. The building blows up, he then chases Tenpenny through Los Santos ending with a fire engine flying off of an overpass and crashing in front of his house. Escapes with no repercussions. LCS: The Sicillian Mafia assault city hall and take the mayor hostage. Tony and Salvatore are then involved in numerous gun battles through Staunton Island and on the river, culminating in Tony taking out a helicopter assaulting a lighthouse. Tony gets away with no repercussions, Salvatore Leone is cleared of all criminal charges. VCS: Victor Vance steals a military attack helicopter and lays waste to a commercial skyscraper in downtown Vice City, then single handedly kills everyone remaining in said building, then gets into a mexican standoff on the roof and kills both Mendez and Martinez. He and his brother escape with no resistance from law enforcement or the military. GTA IV: Niko assaults an abandoned casino, killing numerous Alderney and Russian mobsters. He then chases a boat through the river in a stolen government helicopter. He then lands on Happiness Island and kills more mobsters, police on the scene and then finally Pegorino/Dimitri in front of the Statue of Happiness. Escapes from the scene, merely being wanted for questioning for events that happened prior to this. LAD: A motorcycle gang assaults a prison, resulting in a riot that allows numerous prisoners to escape. They kill their former president who was going to personally name them in a court case. The gang escapes with no repercussions. BOGT: Luis assaults an abandoned amusement park, killing numerous european mobsters. A golden attack helicopter then escorts him to Francis Intl Airport, blowing up numerous vehicles along the way. Luis storms the tarmac and forces himself onboard an aircraft taking off. Luis then causes the aircraft to explode, but manages to survive the explosion and parachute to safety. Escapes with no repercussions. I mean, which one of these wasn't over the top and ridiculous?

jp9865 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Only problem I had with it was that it was all a bit easy. You didn't even really have to get into a gun fight with anyone. Just sniped them all then drive off. I wanted epic. A massive shootout. Not drive here, snipe, switch and repeat! They should have split it into 3 missions. One for each protag who takes care of their own problems. (Frank/Stretch and the Ballas) (Trevor/Cheng and the Chinese) (Micheal/Haines and the "crooked" FIB) then one final mission for an all out assault on merryweather and Devon Weston Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/718485-did-any-of-you-think-that-option-c-was-a-cop-out/#findComment-1065665610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sullinator Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Actually, I think that ending c was the original option and the only option at first. But then they decided to throw the other two options in towards the end. Option C the mission was much longer and more detailed. If you pick one of the other two, the mission lasts like five minutes and then that's the game. None of the endings were really that satisfying though. Probably because the game was so short all together.
