so the hiests have been out for a little while whats does every one think of them?

have you had the same trouble that me and my buddies have had finding good players to fill in the extra slots? speaking of which if any of you play on PS3 and need 2 people to play the hiests with let me know with a pm on here or on psn (psn:jaffa_5).

I beat them with my friends. They take a while honestly, i kinda like that. The pay on your first run through is pretty good. The insurgent is ridiculously armored and slightly op. The heists themselves are somewhat fun. There truly is a need for communication and good players. My group hasn't had trouble completing them, only had issues with lag and connectivity on ps3. I like the variety in the missions, but prefer payday 2, as a heist game because its much more challenging.

me and my buddies are up to the 3rd hiest (series A). we would be a lot further through but what with work and diffrent time zones, so it's not always possable to be online all at the same time.

I agree communication is a major help. my buddies and i tend to use team speak/ skype to talk as we are mainly pc guys these days, but we have had trouble with not being able to talk to the randoms we need to fill in the slots. and i havn't had much problem with connectivity just the ocasional lag.

I do have to agree that payday2 is a better hiest game but i love the veriaty of missions in gta.

I got to hand it to you, the prison break finale was a pain in my neck i tried like 14 times. Me and my friends were about to beat the finale, when we parachuted on the beach we accidentally landed on the pepellers from the chopper has this ever happened to you?

They are great for play with your friends, but when you get in a session with randoms...things get messy and the experience gets a little distorted. The only bugs I have had was with the connection, but thats GTA online for you. But the PC version looks amazing, it really does seem like a perfect PC master race game.

Me and my friend Brad were the prisoner and guard in the prison break heist, and idk if there was a way not to alert the guards, especially that one guy at the end of the bus lane that always shoots you....asshole. But, just because it was tough does not mean it was annoying, it was frustrating, but a good frustrating if yall understand.

It is a DLC that I would pay for, it really is a master piece.

Lol yeah i was the guard and my buddie was the prisoner, he compleatly freaked out when the guard shot him the first time as we didn't expect it go bad so soon. and yeah i understand what you mean. i have been trying to do the series A hiest all day been stuck on the trash collecting mission because we had to depend on using 2 randoms (they ran me over with the garbage truck about 5 times today in 8/9 attempts partly due to cack handedness and randoms leaving halfway through)

LOL I KNOW SCREW THAT TRUCK! Over all the mission isn't hard, I assume you play on hard, It's just that one fuck up that ruins everything. We finally beat it by not even firing a shot and just rushing the garbage bags and getting the hell out of there.

I really like them. I was worried that they'd be bad even after so long of a wait. But I have to say, that I'm really pleased with the quality of the missions and even most of the set ups aren't boring. Although, the trash collecting set up was a pain for me and my buddies. I could see where playing with randoms could be complicated. But overall, I'm very pleased.

Funny enough, my friends and I almost failed the final mission. We had to parachute onto a boat and had only 30 seconds left. My friend parachuted off the cliff and we shot flares to mark the boat. My other buddy shot a random flare through the forest and took out the parachute of the other guy, resulting in him breaking his neck on a rock or something. Thus almost ending our heist. Long story short, once you all get on the boat the timer stopped and it was a breeze after.

yeah i always play missions on hard i like the challenge of having to compleat the misson one one go just like in old school gta games. plus the extra XP and cash are always welcome.

so far out we have been making one of the collectors get all the bags and getting the other collector (usualy me) to help deffend them. i have also been using proximity mines in areas i know a vehicle will come from that won't be set off by civillians lol.

I feel heists are amazing, and complete GTA Online. BUT Rockstar still better put out consistent updates, because I am greedy. Ya know, first world problems

I do remember them saying that there would be single player DLC and updates between now and the next GTA game but that was just before the game first game out. but i would assume now that the pc version is out that they will be working on new content.

personally i hope in the next month or 2 they will release a new hiest or two with a bunch of new cars and weapons but i would a single player DLC like lost and damned or ballad of gay tony.
