I went with the most expensive option on all of them. I figured I can always make a ton of money using cheap crew long term, but I wanted my first one to go smoothly so I knew what a good crew was capable of. The expensive crew members in that heist are almost maxed out in everything and really expensive. Then after I've picked my crew and moved on, the game tells me "Your crew members' skills will increase when you use them, but their cost will remain the same!". Why the fuck didn't you tell me BEFORE I picked them? Now I'm training a bunch of nearly-maxed out greedy fuckers with 15% cut instead of working on a long-term crew!
The game is annoyingly stingy/inconsistent with information some times. I had another one last night where I was told to capture a fugitive alive, no other information. I sneak up to him from behind and sneak attack punch him in the head, just like I was taught to do in the very first Franklin mission to a fucking gardener. "You just killed the fugitive!". What the fuck? The game has been training me to do this to innocent bystanders to avoid raising alarm, and apparently its deadly?

Also, are there some side missions where a marker just doesn't exist on the map? Trevors mom sent me an email saying there was a fugitive hiding near an old quarry, or something like that, and there was nothing anywhere on the map. I have no clue where this supposed quarry even is. Is there legitimately no marker for some of the smaller side missions, or did I just miss it/lose it to a bug?
Just got to that part yesterday, not done any quests after it. I did not get anything on the map either, just drove around in the area to see if any icon popped up, but nothing that I found.

I redid (reloaded a savegame, not replay) the mission with the expensive gunman, cheap driver, and the programmer kid from LifeInvader. For some reason the first time I did it the LifeInvader kid never called Michael at all and wasn't even an option. You still have enough time to get all the jewels since the timer is longer than what's required for gold on the mission. The driver sucks and gives you sport bikes instead of dirt bikes, but it doesn't matter at all, and the good gunman survives either way. In the end, Michael got $1.15M and Franklin got something like $295k.
The reason you still got a decent amount was because you picked up the dead guy's loot. I didn't have the option the first time I did it as I was right next to him when he crashed, so that's why the take was so abysmally low.

the little nuances in this game still astound me.
Was driving nice and I hear police sirens, I look around and the cops are chasing some car, the car crashes in the intersection where I?m waiting. The guy jumps out of the car and starts shooting the cops.. first cop dies, other jumps out and takes down the guy in the car.
Ambulance shows up, and next to me 2 people walk up and take out their cell phones and take a few pictures and walk off.
Paramedics check the body and then they leave... not sure why they left lol.
Was just so fun to watch it all go down and not actually involved IN it haha

This game is 100% pure awesome. I love the Michael character and those missions. Finally got a chance to play for about 5 hours last night and will get some of the same playtime tonight. Some of those "?" quests are fricken hilarious! Like...
And parody of
God that stuff is hilarious.
But after that first spoiler listed above? I was laughing the entire time it was going on.
Character depth is FANTASTIC. I still have not unlocked the third yet so I am still early in. I cannot wait.
Also, any tips on getting a 747 off the runway and into the air before 70,000 cop cars destroy me?
When Michael comes across a guy early on in the game trying to legalize pot... The guy convinces Michael to try some, and all of a sudden you warp into this trip out mowing down aliens with a machine gun haha!
And parody of
Facebook and Zuckerburg parody, basically blowing up that guy while giving his keynote with an explosive device attached to his cell phone

Is there a cap on how much money you lose when you die? At small amounts it looks like it takes 5% of your money, but I haven't gone crazy and died yet(while not on a mission where I could restart) now that I have hundreds of thousands of dollars. Going to piss me off if its still 5%.
north of the quarry is a highway and tunnel system.. to the west of the tunnel system is a marijuana grow. Kill the drug dealers and gain 40k.

Just switched to Trevor as he was throwing some black guy off a bridge.
Go back to Barry, in the same spot in that courtyard, as Trevor. His version is amazing.
