Series A IS a "Heist"

[CH3STNUT]

Just because the Finale is transporting the goods, the setups are a short strain of mini Heists.

 

Nowhere in the R* Newswires did it say the Finale was going to be the actual Heist.

[GrandTheftBatman]

Okay.

[CH3STNUT]

who are you talkin to

Those who say "Series A isn't a real Heist it's just glorified contact missions. I was like this until I figured out the setups were the Heist.

[Dumb guy]

What you talkin bout Willis

[G o d]

[CarimboHanky]

if ypu ask me thereare only 2 actual heist...

 

fleeca and pacific bank.

 

humane lab is a raid.

 

series A is a drug deal.

 

prison break is exactly that a prison break.

[elondon]

Series A set ups aren't mini heists, they're just like any old gerald/ trevor mission

[Murciélago]

Someone heisted your ability to make good threads.

I don't care what label you put on each "heist". Series A imo is the worst/most tedious one.

[am30]

Rockstar call it a heist so it's a heist but it certainly doesn't feel like one. Feels more like a Trevor mission playlist.

 

Still, it's entertaining enough and these are still early days for heists. Hopefully there will be more released later which are more complex and improve on what has just been released.

Amen

[Halal Cyborg]

I expected Italian football tbh.

[ChineseCosmo]

Prison Break & Raid are both Heists by definition on account of the fact you're a team breaking into somewhere, stealing someone/thing, and getting away.

 

Series A is a series of heists capped with the most fun finale of the 5.

[Mach1bud]

Trevor heisted my heart.

[Mr. Scratch]

I was expecting Trevor to pay us with Impotent Rage statues when he pulled that garbage bag from under the stairs. I honestly wouldn't mind it. Molly for life.

[minifat]

You're right, OP. It's literally a heist. A literal heist no one wanted.

[EEDDDWWWAARRRD]

I think Series A is there to give us more insight on Trevor and is a mini-prequel to his single player story. I admit I didn't pay much attention to the cutscenes until the finale where Trevor had a breakdown (and likely repressed his memory of the whole thing). It does show how he got his meth lab up and running, and I'm sure there's more in there somewhere.

Also, Trevor's not known for thinking out his heists too well, just look at how his Merryweather heist turned out.

[ugotsmoked]

Heist means robbery. Most of the missions are tiny heists.

This.

 

Not that I have a problem with it per say, but most certainly Flecca/Pacific Bank are the only Heist, Heists.

 

Edit: The Set-Up Missions basically have the level of sophistication that R* would have put into the original Contact Missions had them bothered to not just make them clones of each other so they could be designed much more quickly (with exceptions to the existing Multi-part Contact Missions).

They did feel like typical contact missions:

 

Drive from here to there, then kill some ppl, pick up the package, and take to drop off.

 

And the finale was not much more than a survival...

 

sh*tty heist. Nothing about it was new.

[Dale Earnhardt]

Series A is a hist, not a heist.

[L0SS4NT0SK1LL3RV]

It's more likely a drug deal set up, anyway, it doesn't matter as long as it's fun and pays well.

[GhostlySentinel]

I wish we had more bank jobs, personally.

People were imagining bank heists but R* just said we were getting heists. The heist trailer even shows the new chopper attacking some trucks and stealing the hydra. It's like GTA players have this image in their head and once we get the new stuff we're all confused because it wasn't how we imagined it.

Can't wait to see what we imagine next and be disappointed by not getting it as we imagined it.

*edit*
Great thread, OP. You deserve an award.

Lol how many banks do you think there are on this island?

 

Of course heists are more than just stealing from banks.

[Turkish Turketarian]

It was a heist. We heisted Trevor. We took his money in the end and he got nothing.

[Sketchy James]

"A heist is a robbery from an institution such as a bank or a museum, or any robbery in which there is a large haul of loot." - Wikipedia

[Chinsei]

Criminal organizations could be considered an 'institution' too and they all had potential of 'large hauls of loot' though..

 

I like how everything we stole..was worth way more than we got paid.

 

the Hydra an other fighter jets we stole each Jet was worth atleast 1 billion$. the Armoured vehicles would probably be worth atleast 10m. the helicopter would probably be in reality worth atleast 30m or so.
