I feel bad for Merryweather. Rockstar does it wrong

They had no sympathy when they beat down Floyd in story mode, no matter how much Trevor objected.

That's because Floyd did something wrong. Very wrong. They wouldn't hurt anyone who don't deserve it.

Merryweather is like EA, they deserve to die.

[TCA]

They sure as hell have no feelings when they get sent after us and they get killed. So f*ck them, the current lost chapter "R.I.P. Johnny" and all those other bitches that stand against us will be taken down with AUTHORITY!

[Plethorius]

I feel some kind of way about those Merryweather people. Fairly early on I had just finished a mission online attacking them and taking their stuff and went back to freemode, got a call from them. I kind of expected a threat or some nasty words but they're like "If you ever need backup give us a call!" lol

 

On the note of characters being unlikable that wasn't entirely the case for me. I found Michael and Franklin to be likable, screwed up in the head or not. Trevor is just funny as hell so he gets a pass. "We're scooter brothers! Scooooooter brothers!"

Bruh... they are mercenaries, you shouldn't feel bad about it because hypothetically speaking if all this was real, Merryweather would kill you and your whole family for 100$ then go back home and jerk off like nothing happened.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

I only wished i coud hire 10 of them in freeroam to escort me for 5 minutes

[REDDICE]

Merryweather gets paid by bringing harm to people, we steal equipment from merryweather in order to pull of a heist and gain money. Not much of a difference except that merryweather's methods are questionably legal.

Hey, this sounds like a great job description. Where can I get a Merryweather job application?

Merryweather is based on blackwater, you know blackwater? They are a bunch of mercenaries who killed a lot of civilian in Iraq. Do some reaserch on them, most of them are on trial for violation of human rights, tourture and a litany of other crimes. Blackwater is a 'private security company' ( more like a paramilitary force ) a bunch of racists hillbillies with guns.

f*ck Merryweather, I only feel sorry going against the Lost MC.

[ringo336]

No man, they are scum, just like any private militia. And they have annoying voices and are all bald with beards, at least 90% of them

[TheGoodSgtScooter]

I too, feel remorse after killing drug dealing murderers.

[Twattir]

They also had no qualms about killing women

ok????? Let them kill men but if they kill a woman OOOooOoOooOoOoOoOOOO sh*t

[NubcakeVII]

Why would you feel bad for people who kill for money?

 

That's like feeling bad for our online characters.

[Sangers]

I'll stop killing them when they stop telling me to "get a job"

Exactly. He tried to go to a restricted area after the dudes clearly said he can't go there. Instead of just walking away he tried again. So he did it wrong and deserved to get a lesson.

My characters kill because I command them because I can and enjoy it. Personal satisfaction, except when I have to kill Merryweather's people.

This is what made me feel bad too. They still tried to be friends with me (that girl on the phone sounds hot btw) after doing something horrible to them. So, I ordered a helicopter for starters (and no I did not kill the pilot, surprisingly he was pretty entertaining) and later some other services.

 

Also Merryweather ain't based on Blackwater (never heard about it before), it is completely fictional corporation because Rockstar never uses real life references in their games.

Do some reserch on blackwater dummy, and for the love of god read this. http://gta.wikia.com/Merryweather_Security

Merryweather, Security, LSPD, The FIB Agents, and Ballas are totally annoying.

 

Their voice actors are so good in performing until make me want to put bullet into each of these characters' head.

[crack1king]

What the f*ck just happen?

[Cackling Jack]

I don't know if I'm gonna laugh or cry about this thread.

[yonk582945]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[FiVEOHFiVE]

They also had no qualms about killing women and children. (Michaels family)

 

Fuсk mercenaries. Every each one killed is a bliss for humanity.

What the f*ck, when did the mercs kill Michael's family?

[44MA9NUM357]

I hate those guys with a passion. If youve heard or read about how they handle biz overseas youd hate them too. Out of all the NPCs in the game, theres none i enjoy killing more than Merryweather (Blackwater/Academi/Craft). I wish i could watch the funeral services from my apt while smoking a bowl, before heading to the cemetery and slow mo shotgunning the CEOs (NPC versions of Erik Prince/Craig Nixon) from my Haku like Frank White in King Of New York. Lol. Soon as i saw private mercs in the game i decided to remind em of Yamamotos "Every blade of grass", every time i see them. At least the Ballas protect their own community. Let off on an NPC on their turf for no reason and youll be dodging bullets soon after. I still remove them from the Grove off of S.A principle but other than that, i allow them to continue operations in the hood cause theyre not all bad guys. Lol

[Dondara]

The people they're based off (blackwater) are scumbags

Truth right there.

[Red Lynx 23]

Now that I thought about it. Sorry for your luck, and with the exception of a choice Franklin can make, it's good to not even have the option to kill T.P.I. employees.

[Tomern11]

I actually think that R* emphasized them way too much. Too many missions revolve around that organization. I'm fed up with them honestly.

Either way no need to pity them, they're hired guns. Killing or dying is part of their business.
