Story DLC- the trio will probably lose everything in the beginning


Recommended Posts

if we assume that the DLC is Post-C ending, which the majority of us do

 

then i have a feeling that its going to be where the Trio loses everything (tons of money, weapons all gone etc)

 

because the DLC would be so easyyy if we just had access to all our post game money and weapons....

Well to be fair GTA gas never been a particularly hard game, so us having access to these weapons and such probably wouldn't be too bad.

 

I think its entirely possible for us to have a DLC in which all of our gear isn't stripped from us.

No, chances are they will "lose everything" but it'll be symbolic. Lamar dies, one of Michael's kids is ransomed, and Patricia Madrazzo ends up in a snuff film.

I hate when developers do that to me! No matter what game is and how difficult it is! LOL I was already pissed enough with Dead Money add-on in Fallout New Vegas! I need no more of that! Thank you! If i earn something hard way i want that to stay with me like for ever or at least have chance to get it all back once i'm done with DLC! I don't want to end up in a situation, when everything i earned (including money) cannot be brought back, or i need to start from scratch to get it all to the same amount i had before starting DLC!...If you want challenge, then don't just go the easiest way by stripping all the hard earned equipment from me, but rather work your ass on making things more challenging some other way...maybe smarter AIs or more lengthy and difficult story-line missions etc...But stripping me from my stuff - its a no go...sorry!...

Something bad may happen, things did go quite well for them in V so they need a bit of punishment I think, a friend dying. Maybe a really dramatic and serious bit with Trevor, Mrs Madrazzo getting her throat cut in front of him, changing him. The lost getting revenge, killing Ron and wade, blowing up Trevor's trailer. We get to see Trevor's human side, maybe crying :p

 

They could keep their money. I think it's more likely someone dies, or someone makes them do things. Or they do heists for the fun of it, although I'm not sure they could make a story out of Michael saying "there's a casino just opened, let's break in and take their money for no reason other than self satisfaction". Or it's zombies :(

How about... They get bored and decide to rob something? I mean really why does it have to be some giant work when we are dealing with 3 people who only know crime?

The Big Score was meant to be M and T's big dream job that will set them for life, in which it does. Under those circumstances it would be logical that the trio had a reason other than feeling like it to pull another big job.

The best thing would be a prequel, a sorta "North Yankton" one, explaining how M&T met up and describing the events that led to Prologue...

And the best part: No Franklin!

I'd be onboard if it means giving Franklin more character.

I'm sorry but just no!...The last thing GTAV needs is prequel! Prequels are boring! I don't give a sh*t what happened in the past, the only thing matters is - future and its more interesting part! Its more intriguing and really gives infinite possibilities, in prequel you're very limited with possibilities of how to make things happen, because you have to keep in mind everything have to make sense, so that it would fit in the beginning of vanilla games storyline, which starts at North Yankton...That is why i hate prequels! They never give a wide range of choices and possibilities! I still don't understand why people like prequels so much these days! I mean like ok if you want to know how things happen, then ask developers to just release make a pre-game's comic or some sort of vignette telling all the details prior to them all meeting and getting to know each other if you care for that so much! But wasting developing resources onto something like that? ...meh...a waste of time to me! Besides if they really made prequel as a DLC, it probably wouldn't make sense for it to get integrated into main storyline, thus probably making it impossible to be able to play both at the same time! It would likely require separate module (like Undead Nightmare of RDR!), which would strip you away from all the stuff you collected in main game! I hate it when developers release DLCs as separate modules! Unless they do it so, i could benefit from finishing it in some sort of way, like Bioware usually tend to do with their games, by porting the items and unlocked stuff from those modules and integrate it into main game!...So if they did it that way, i probably wouldn't be all that much against it, but i still wouldn't like it either, because of how limited possibilities are anyway...

I think if you know many criminals then you understand that its not really a "Just score the big one" type thing.. Its more akin to a combat vet in a sense that you never get that rush back and you search it out after. Its completely logical for them to just do more jobs lol

imo they will likely do dlc like they did with rdr an gta4. i doubt we will get a dlc that adds quest an other stuff to the existing world/save file we are currently playing in although i would very much like that type of content, judging from wot rockstar have done in the past i think tis safe to say the sp dlc will likely be in another area/world an possibly even be a stand alone dlc/game that does not even need the original gta5 like they did with gta4 an rdr.

 

i do like this kind of dlc but i dont know theres jus something about it that bugs me about not being in the world i have come to love an enjoy so much an spend so much time playing in. it kinda makes it feel like i wasted all that time in my sp game when the dlc goes on a different campaign/save.

 

i never bought the gta4 dlc an i was a bit surprised when is saw you could buy undead nightmare as a stand alone game an was a lil disappointed to learn i was in effectively a new version of rdr's world an not rhe pre existing one i was previously playing in. although it was a mirror image of it with zombies an other stuff an i did end up really liking that dlc an how it was done an being able to switch between effectively 2 different games.

 

also rockstar have stated previously how they do not like charging for dlc for individual games as it separates the player base an divides it into players with the dlc an players without the dlc which is why wot lil gta5 dlc so far has been free an probably why other sp dlc for rdr an gta4 has been done as a stand alone game so it does not create a divide in the player base. you either have the dlc an play in that version of its world or you dont have the dlc an stick to the original version instead of having several versions of just gta5 where some people have this dlc others have that dlc an some dont have any dlc.

 

id really expect the gta5 dlc to be done in a similar way the undead nightmare dlc was done with RDR. i would prefer them to add a massive expansion an loads of new stuff to the existing world of gta5 so i can use my existing save file etc but unless last gen gets left behind with the sp dlc then i cant see it happening. if the sp dlc is gonna be released across all platforms then i can see it being a stand alone game set in teh same universe as gta5 but not an actual part of the original game.

 

the only thing that gives me hope an makes me think it may be different from past dlc is because of all the random signs for business' an places that say they are "coming soon" like the casino an restaurants an stuff.

 

i doubt they will leave behind the last gen player base for the sp dlc. they would be pretty silly to turn away a potential market of 45m players for a market of only 10m. as far as money an profits are concerned but then i think its jus a silly to dumb down your game an make it less of a game just so you can have it available for the most common consoles/versions. in a way i hope they do only make the dlc for next gen an pc or at least make 2 different versions of dlc one for next gen/pc an one dumbed down for last gen. that could also maybe explain why its taken so long to make etc.

I think the DLC will address a lot of issues people mention a lot. More interiors are almost guaranteed, new activities too. It won't change the map, driving or the police, it's very unlikely to be centered around one character or be about Franklin's gang, Mafia bosses telling you to whack people or anything we've seen before. Taking the characters money away wouldn't be enough, Franklin's house needs to be blown up, Trevor's trailer on fire, Michael losing his house for some reason. I think it might get a bit desperate for the 3, they've had enough success.

 

Or time rewinds, Steve Hanes comes back and you work for the FIB again. That would fulfil the moaniest of moaners for another year though. So that's good.

LS will get struck by hyperinflation, after US Government starts to spam the dollar to quell the debts.

Means, your 2,1 billions turn in the end into equivalent of 200K dollars and the prices will continue to rise. In game progress, you will get less and less money.

 

Civil unrest - burning LS will be pillaged by civilians.

 

Then, colombian and mexican gangs will go and try to annex San Andreas - after armed rednecks, kukluxclan and after National Guard marches in, S will HTF and LS will turn into a battleground maiming and destroying everything in its path.

 

You in midst of all this chaos, trying to find the responsible and SAVE THE DOLLAR, instead of stealing it, lol.

 

Postapocalyptic survival? Already? Read this.

Rampage 6: Madrazo, After Martin kills Patricia after finding she still has feelings for Trevor, Trevor goes on a murderous rampage against the Madrazo Cartel.

I am pretty sure it will play after the canon ending and you will carry over all your money, cars, weapons, clothes etc. People don't want to loose it. All new missions and features will probably be added to your existing save files. Something will happen that brings Michael, Trevor and Franklin together again. One of them will probably get into big trouble with criminals or the police and will call the other ones to help him. Then the story will evolve from the initial problem. New character were ruled out by Rockstar, if I remember right. A prequel woulnd't work because Franklin didn't know Michael and Trevor prior to GTA V.

Uh Greenrock, does this so called Story DLC even exist anymore because it's been over 14 months since they announced it and not one single word since!

 

I'm seriously starting to wonder if there will ever be any Story DLC at this point because after 14 months of nothing it just doesn't seem likely.
