Which Grand Theft Auto games do you think are the easiest/hardest when it comes to making money post-game after completing the storyline?

Easiest: San Andreas. Mostly because the gambling kinda breaks the in game economy since it can be so easily exploited. Gamble and save trick will still makes you millions long after the credits roll and even without that the majority of the side missions make obtaining money way too easy.

 

Hardest: GTA IV: Pretty much the inverse of San Andreas. No easily exploitable systems exist and because the bulk of the side missions don't pay that much and are run and done after a set amount the only way you can really earn money is by racing or selling vehicles to Stevie.

Totally agree with IV being the hardest to earn money especially after going for the 100% in the game & going for the Wanted trophy/achievement which requires you to get Level 10 in online & earn $5 Million

Anyone who says VC isn't the easiest to exploit for easy money post-game is missing out on doing Vigilante with the Hunter tbh

I was going to say the easiest was V with the BAWSAQ Market, but then i remembered how i was parachuting over the casino in SA whenever i needed money. But yeah, casino trick worked because it could be exploited with the saving.

I have no idea how people think it's the hardest to make money GTA IV after the story. Yo wtf, you can just keep shoving cars in Stevie's garage for easy money.

 

I'd say GTA V is the hardest, not sure if any glitches work anymore, but once you've completed the story (including assassination missions) there aren't really many ways to make a decent amount of money anymore. You're actually kinda f*cked if you picked the wrong choices throughout the story, as far as the money goes.

I'd say GTA3 is the easiest game when it comes to earning money after the storyline. You can easily make billions off all those ever-replayable side-missions and activities the game has to offer. And hell, you don't even need to do anything after the storyline considering how you can amass almost a million dollars before Staunton Island is even unlocked from just doing the story missions which kinda defeats the purpose of having in-game cash walls at certain points in the storyline like Salvatore/8-Ball's "Bomb Da Base" mission or the final mission.

 

Now LCS, that's a different story, while it does have a lot of side-missions they don't pay out as much as GTA3 and the game's storyline leaves you with just $612,000-something in cash. So there's that, I guess.

By time you've completed VC you should have at least 5 assets that make money and two of the best one's are required for the main story and make 8 - 10k each (Malibu and Paperworks). If you spend 300 at Pole Position then that's another 4k. Vercetti Estate gives 5k. Completing Sunshine Auto car lists gives 9k. Kaufman Cabs gives 5k. Buying the Boatyard and doing the race gives another 2k. Cherry Popper gives 3k and the film studio gives 7k.

 

If you have all assets purchased then that's like 53k per day for doing absolutely nothing and while you're waiting you can make even more money from vigilante missions. It all adds up. I don't know whether it's THE easiest but it's certainly up there.

V I find the most useless one. They brag about getting the almighty dollar yet for most of the story all characters are broke as hell. If it wasn’t for the big one and the Lester assassination stock market exploits we would be broke. 

[Eugene H. Krabs]

Chinatown Wars is the easiest to me because of the drug dealing feature. You just have to know where to buy and sell, plus there'll always be tip-offs. HoboTron is an underrated method too; each time I start a new game, I find myself constantly playing it until I have enough cash to buy all the safehouses.

 

Hardest is V if you're not interested in stocks (wouldn't blame you). At least with IV, I can confess to spamming the SuperGT cheat (which doesn't block achievements) and selling them to Stevie over and over.
