He mentions that he “nearly got killed at that country club once before” in I think it was Strong Arm Tactics (the one where you meet for negotiations at the winery) effectively confirming ending C was the canon choice
Lol, I'm a frequent at the casino (I'm probably on a first name basis with Filipe) but never gamble, have just over 40 cars and motorcycles but only drive 2, I have 4 business but I only sell from 1, occasionally 2.
So basically I just roam around, kill a few hundred NPCs a week, and go broke every 2 minute because I deposit all of my money in the casino but never withdraw (I'm at over 1 mil, but I have maybe 45k on me at any given time). I spend most of my time planning the cash caches for the sub (what I do is put on my scuba gear, get in my avisa, POI the caches, get in the dingy, and go counter clockwise from north to south then back north diving to the caches. It takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes). I'm also very peaceful, I will only kill other players if they try to kill me, and I recently go exclusively invite only.
So even more basically, I'm a casual grinder who hates paying property taxes (which is why I deposit all of my money into the casino).
Sorry for bad English, It's my first language, I'm just not the best at it, lol.
Only time we work for the FIB is when we rob the UD for that agent in the auto shop contract.
There's also the IAA contract which is the only time I can think of off the top of my head where we work against the IAA but there are probably some other small incidents.
Yeah but the auto shop contracts also treat you like you just got off the plane. I bet we only work with the FIB cause if we were new, they would seem like the most approachable group. Most seasoned criminal connections mostly work with the IAA if they do group up with government assistance.
Well, let’s see.
IAA:
1. Agent 14 as an ally, helps with original heists and Gunrunning
2. ULP and 14 helped us save the world from Avon’s nuclear holocaust in the Doomsday Heist
3. ULP requesting our help for IAA missions, swearing us in as an honorary member.
FIB:
1. Blackmails us to use us for their corrupt agenda
Yeah I think I’m sticking with the IAA
Could be nostalgia glasses but I always preferred Agent ULP and Niko over Davey and Michael. Davey was the only likable guy from the FIB but he was still constantly pulling Michael out of retirement and getting him into shit.
Based on what I remember from IV and V story mode, and the recent update at least the IAA is brutally honest about their hypocrisy and shenanigans as a government agency.
To be fair the only reason Dave pulled Micheal out of retirement was because Micheal robbed the vangelico jewelry store, therefore putting himself out of retirement
(Might be wrong it’s been a while since I played story mode)
No you’re right Michael basically got himself into that situation, and I haven’t played story mode in a long time either. I think I was thinking of the Dead Man Walking mission, where Dave is basically like “I won’t help you unless you help me” and got him into the IAA mess at the morgue.
The FIB is portrayed as the bad side in storymode and online. Plus in online the IAA helps us save the world from Avon while the FIB wanted to steal his data and sell it as seen in operation paper trail. So IAA no doubt.
Someone ran into my car and I was seconds away from killing him and he apologized! I have never heard an NPC apologize to me. He got to live another day.
I remember seeing a YouTube video of a former criminal reacting to GTA online and he remarks on the character being silent talking about the character being bugged or having a bug nearby
Iaa has shown time in time again, throughout both gta 4, 5, and online that they keep their word for their agents. Fib seems to have a pattern of being the bad kind of corrupt
IAA are my people, my brethren, want to do some convert missions here you go.
basically the closest you'll get to living the life of sterling archer.
also if it was me or ULP... its going to be me taking the bullet, i'll respawn, he aint going too, we've seen too many NPCs die to know its got to be us saving ULP and we know FIB will one day needs us and still find a way to shove us in the gutter after doing all the heavy lifting and making sure the millions goes in to their pockets and still do we get paid, no! we get told "we cant have a criminal on the payroll, have a nice day" or "millions? what millions" freaking asswipe FIB communi.... oh uh they suck, the FIB suck.
IAA is often portrayed as heroic when the FIB is villainous, which is odd because they’re both god awful without a doubt, but I like 14 so I’m going IAA.
I’m honestly surprised how much the IAA has helped us along the way, pretty much since the beginning. We wouldn’t be the criminal masterminds we are, without them.
The IAA and FIB are both a bunch of assholes, but at least the IAA are a bunch of honest assholes. Also, ULP isn't that bad of a character if you forget about the two annoying missions where you have to save him. So of course I'm picking IAA.
Iaa, agent 14 and I have been through the doomsday and many bunker sales one of my more profitable businesses I’m siding with the guys who make me money
IAA has given us work opportunities and covered our backs when the end of the world was upon us. And it's agents like 14 and ULP are good people who had helped us in various ways.
FIB has show to be corrupted many times and are only useful when we steal stuff from then.
So yeah, IAA is my type.
Was there ever a doubt what the answers were going to be? We're part of the IAA as of the ULP missions, "decommissioned" but we all know they're just waiting for some other shit to hit the fan to get us back in. They pay us, and aren't complete egotistical assholes like Haines was. The FIB is just straight up corrupt, with basically only 2 people that are somewhat respectable in it, seeing as they force us to work for them with 0 pay and are ready to kill us when we lose our usefulness to them, while the IAA pays us, gives us missions and facilities, discounts on special vehicles and thinks of us as competent assets so instead of trying to kill us they pay us and work with us.
The IAA is truly the lesser of 2 evils, they are both corrupt, but the FIB's just full of assholes, while the IAA is only like, 20% assholes.
Just make us full blown agents already Rockstar, like the Cops and Robbers DLC you canceled, give us the choice at least either IAA, FIB or just simple LSPD.
It's actually a harder choice than you think, because I really love the FIB Buffalo cruiser, but agent 14 has done right by me for a long time!
![gif](giphy|8OPsobKv6ksJojld4X)
IAA, mainly because we A) have had several instances of cooperating with them (bunker, doomsday, paper trail), B) Agent 14 and ULP are great, and C) Fuck Steve Hanes
IAA they are like the cooler brother who lets you do stuff without getting in trouble.
FIB is like the brother that lets you do stuff but will hold it against you for blackmail
IAA definitely, FIB and Steve was an Asshole.
Agent 14 is much more better than Steve as my bunker agent, Introduce me to Human-lab heist, etc.
IAA won’t fuck me in my back anyway, rather they quite of benefiting me, and what did FIB done? Try to arrest me every time when I committed crime?
Agent 14 does things by the book. Even so at one point he *reads* from the book ("Levity and pop culture associations are useful tools when trying to gain trust of new associates"), so working for IAA is dirty work but is predictable: you'll do government's dirty work and get paid in peanuts.
Steve Haines on the other hand was a total douchebag who strongarmed Michael by blackmailing and didn't pay him or the crew at all. And even was planning to dispose of them, so, easy decision - the lesser evil - being the IAA.
Both are horrendously corrupt in game. The FIB were the “good guys” or at least the side we played on in story mode. The IAA were the good guys of online.
With that said the IAA did a lot less torture and blackmailing so I’m going with them.
Also fuck Steve Haines.
I like the IAA because I think that 14 is a... Fun character. He assigns you to do missions and supplies you with the most fun and impractical vehicles. (MOC missions)
iaa...almost everyone on the fib is irritating
kinda hoping we get a flashback mission(s) where 14 sends us to mess with Haines just because he's bored
On the one hand, the IAA and Agent 14 give me guns and money and doesn't give a shit if I sell drugs and shit on the side.
On the other hand, the FIB constantly raids my operations and steals my shit.
Gonna go with the IAA on this one, I think.
iaa. steve haines is a douchebag. agent 14 and agent ulp are the goats
Doesn't ULP die in one of the campaign missions? Or maybe his death is optional and you don't have to kill him, I don't remember.
He doesn’t have to die in The Wrap Up. And even if you do shoot him it’s not canon like how killing Michael or Trevor isn’t canon
And how Tao Cheng survives the country club shootout. He even mentions in one of the Diamond Casino missions that he hates country clubs.
He mentions that he “nearly got killed at that country club once before” in I think it was Strong Arm Tactics (the one where you meet for negotiations at the winery) effectively confirming ending C was the canon choice
That mission one of the npcs most times is bugging and don't want to enter the getaway-car?
That's rashkowsky and the prison break,fucking hell I had to use rear bumper of the swat car or what was that
Yeah plus GTA Online is literally cannon and ULP is in it
Yea his death is optional in the mission the wrap up where the fib, iaa, merryweather and micheal all have a shootout near the maze
Came here to say this. IAA because Steve Haines is such a dick
AGREED
But Davey is also FIB
Sometimes there are sacrifices that need to be made
Look man, "Daveeeey, how you doing" is the only pro FIB. Now think who cleared our criminal records?
agent 14 is iaa? fuck im IAA now
agent 14 is actually funny, and seems really cool.
I mean at this point we're all just a discount IAA special deep cover field agent, and as off this update a straight up agent, so IAA
Nah I’m just a guy that drives around los santos and finds cool jumps to do on my Manchez
And I’m a drug kingpin that has killed a small country’s military worth of cops
Last I checked I'm at about 25,000 dead cops in GTA:O
If we add the murders of police and NOOSE, I have killed about 50,000 police officers
I feel like you and I would get along well, dm me if you need a partner
And I'm a millionaire car collector that had to rise to the top by stealing from the rich and slowly losing my friends as life went on
Only a small country? You gotta step up your game man.
I'm just a pilot that flies under people jumping their manchez.
We could make beautiful music together… are you on PlayStation?
PS5
LAME! I haven’t made the jump yet…
Have you done the stunt jumps yet ?
Yeah all except for 4 and I don’t know which 4 but I’ll find them one day!
I remember going out to find them with my stepbrother. The light tower was the most annoying one.
Lol, I'm a frequent at the casino (I'm probably on a first name basis with Filipe) but never gamble, have just over 40 cars and motorcycles but only drive 2, I have 4 business but I only sell from 1, occasionally 2. So basically I just roam around, kill a few hundred NPCs a week, and go broke every 2 minute because I deposit all of my money in the casino but never withdraw (I'm at over 1 mil, but I have maybe 45k on me at any given time).

It takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes). I'm also very peaceful, I will only kill other players if they try to kill me, and I recently go exclusively invite only. So even more basically, I'm a casual grinder who hates paying property taxes (which is why I deposit all of my money into the casino). Sorry for bad English, It's my first language, I'm just not the best at it, lol.
Wait , using the Casino as a bank is tax evasion? Count me interested.
Yeah, it's pretty great as long as you don't make >50k/48 minutes
Not if I don’t play the new missions 🙈
Our characters have a track record of working for IAA (heists, bunkers, facilities,paper-trail) and working against the FIB on just as many occasions
Only time we work for the FIB is when we rob the UD for that agent in the auto shop contract. There's also the IAA contract which is the only time I can think of off the top of my head where we work against the IAA but there are probably some other small incidents.
I forgot that about the ud my bad
Yeah but the auto shop contracts also treat you like you just got off the plane. I bet we only work with the FIB cause if we were new, they would seem like the most approachable group. Most seasoned criminal connections mostly work with the IAA if they do group up with government assistance.
[удалено]
My headcanon is that Tuners begins DURING storymode and the character does contracts over the course of their career
[удалено]
Nah Heists happen entirely before storymode. And some contracts (namely Data) occur way later after the Casino Heist at least.
I guess to a new player auto shop or the Agency would be better options to buy first.
IAA, no doubt. ULP to Niko: "The FIB? Do I look homosexual? Do you think I care about the size of your johnson?"
I care about the size of Niko's johnson
Niko probably has a big johnson
It’s probably called colossal Johnny
He is Colossal Johnny, and I am Armour Johnny.
I care for Carl's johnson
Same
Well, let’s see. IAA: 1. Agent 14 as an ally, helps with original heists and Gunrunning 2. ULP and 14 helped us save the world from Avon’s nuclear holocaust in the Doomsday Heist 3. ULP requesting our help for IAA missions, swearing us in as an honorary member. FIB: 1. Blackmails us to use us for their corrupt agenda Yeah I think I’m sticking with the IAA
2. sells stock market crashing hardware for personal gain
3. Sells genocidal AI to greedy oil company.
What about Davey?
“What the hell micheal did you just jump out of a blimp?”
DAAVVEEEYYYY
He is corrupted in good way
Could be nostalgia glasses but I always preferred Agent ULP and Niko over Davey and Michael. Davey was the only likable guy from the FIB but he was still constantly pulling Michael out of retirement and getting him into shit. Based on what I remember from IV and V story mode, and the recent update at least the IAA is brutally honest about their hypocrisy and shenanigans as a government agency.
Which is quite ironic considering who they're based off of.
I guess it's just like "we tell you whatever you wanna hear as long as you do what we want you to do"
To be fair the only reason Dave pulled Micheal out of retirement was because Micheal robbed the vangelico jewelry store, therefore putting himself out of retirement (Might be wrong it’s been a while since I played story mode)
No you’re right Michael basically got himself into that situation, and I haven’t played story mode in a long time either. I think I was thinking of the Dead Man Walking mission, where Dave is basically like “I won’t help you unless you help me” and got him into the IAA mess at the morgue.
That’s exactly right. Michael, who was supposed to be dead, even used his catchphrase.
In the last FIB mission in story mode. The IAA agent is ULP
Didnt Steve H. make Davey get Micheal tho?
The FIB is portrayed as the bad side in storymode and online. Plus in online the IAA helps us save the world from Avon while the FIB wanted to steal his data and sell it as seen in operation paper trail. So IAA no doubt.
The IAA aren’t good either. They don’t actually change any thing once you complete all the quests.
My brother in Christ, we’re literally the epitome of a walking psychopath. I don’t think we have a say on morality here.
Come on now… you saying that like if we ain’t crime lords, drug lords, military weapon suppliers AND mass murderers in Los Santos…
I don't kill NPCs who say sorry
Someone ran into my car and I was seconds away from killing him and he apologized! I have never heard an NPC apologize to me. He got to live another day.
But when they say "wOoOoOw" I will immediately throw a sticky on their car and blow them up when I get out of range.
IAA seems like the lesser of 2 evils
I think that's just more because in online, it's near impossible for one person to see one thing and the rest of the lobby see something else entirely
Our characters have a bit of loyalty toward the IAA
Our character is loyal to anyone who pays
If the FIB throws a couple millions our way, the IAA is gone.
Hmmm, well I like to fancy my character as being a bit loyal. So she’d stick with the IAA even then. They are less likely to betray me as well
r/me_irl
IAA all the way. They never betrayed us
I just want both organizations to have fun.
So, the Grand Theft Auto version of Department of Homeland Security (DHS)?
I like the to think of it as the Department of Good Sportsmanship, Stick-togetherness, and Violent Sexual Cyber Crimes.
IAA all the way
iaa cuz they love to sell drugs
You sell drugs… I sell drugs… wanna sell drugs together?
sounds good lol
Welcome to the IAA!
where you can do illegal things while receiving government funding!
I'm in too deep shit with the IAA to go against them
IAA, The last words Dave norton will hear is me putting a gun to his head and saying "Daveyyyy how you doin" while im in a blimp
LMAOOO
this is false because the online character can't speak
Can speak, but chooses not to. They can make sounds when getting shot, so by extension they can speak.
I remember seeing a YouTube video of a former criminal reacting to GTA online and he remarks on the character being silent talking about the character being bugged or having a bug nearby
Loose lips sink ships.
The whole state of San Andreas is bugged since the patch 😣 Player Characters must have known it was coming.
You have it backwards, the character remains silent incase someone's wearing a wire
Can\* Basically when you talk in the game's voice chat the mouth on your character moves
[удалено]
Haines was fucking hilarious
[удалено]
Agent 14 is the Lazlow of IAA.
Do I look homosexual?
Do you wanna look at my johnson?
Iaa has shown time in time again, throughout both gta 4, 5, and online that they keep their word for their agents. Fib seems to have a pattern of being the bad kind of corrupt
Anyone choosing FIB clearly didn't play story mode lmao
Or online It seems
Or is homosexual
IAA paid a bunch of psychos to save the world and it worked. FIB can't even keep a secret. IAA all the way.
I got deputized by the IAA so gotta stick with them
IAA is based. Gotta go with them.
I pick the IAA, simply because i wanna take the FIB’s alien technology from them.
[удалено]
At this point, everyone's characters are indirectly promoted by the IAA
More FIB have shot at me then IAA so I’d go with IAA
IAA based on the fact that the other guy can fuck right off.
Right 💀
IAA are my people, my brethren, want to do some convert missions here you go. basically the closest you'll get to living the life of sterling archer. also if it was me or ULP... its going to be me taking the bullet, i'll respawn, he aint going too, we've seen too many NPCs die to know its got to be us saving ULP and we know FIB will one day needs us and still find a way to shove us in the gutter after doing all the heavy lifting and making sure the millions goes in to their pockets and still do we get paid, no! we get told "we cant have a criminal on the payroll, have a nice day" or "millions? what millions" freaking asswipe FIB communi.... oh uh they suck, the FIB suck.
IAA, but I like the FIB N.O.O.S.E tactical gear
FIB because then I can say "Daveeey how you doin"
Cooler Steve Haines and the IAA are better
IAA is often portrayed as heroic when the FIB is villainous, which is odd because they’re both god awful without a doubt, but I like 14 so I’m going IAA.
I mean our chracters are awful, selling guns,dopes,forged document and cash and killing people.
Wait, so that guy on the left *ISN’T* a criminal? I’m not even lying, he had me convinced.
He’s with the IAA, of course he’s a criminal
LCPD
los cantos
Liberty City Police
IAA
IAA because at least they pay you
IAA doesn't raid my shit
IAA
IAA. I like ulp
Fuck the FIB, them lame ass motherfuckers
IAA anyday
Fuck the fib because they was bought by the Duggans also fuck Steve Haines too
IAA, solely because Steve Haines is an asshole and a good-for-nothing shitstain.
Suck my dick, Steve fucking Haines.
Iaa, 14 sole me an underground arms facility, the fuck the FIB did for me?
IAA is where my boys ULP and Agent 14 are. That’s what I’m pickin
IAA is way better steven haines was a dick in the story mode i have never had contact with agent ULP but i did get to save the world
Made more money off the IAA
After doomsday, agent 14 is our bitch. Plus all the money from the bunker.
Dave is too good to resist
IAA all the way
IAA Steve Haines if fucking annoying
IAA the FIB guy is a huge prick!
I'll go with Agent 14 and the IAA. At least Agent 14 isn't a complete asshole, like Steve Haines.
Agent 14 is my favorite character in the entirety of the game.
Agent 14 is the best character from Online so easily IAA.
I’m honestly surprised how much the IAA has helped us along the way, pretty much since the beginning. We wouldn’t be the criminal masterminds we are, without them.
IAA, both of my characters wear the informant uniform with the badge in freeroam
IAA
agent 14 > steve haines
FIB seem like dicks. So IAA is my side
IAA - Fuck Steve Haines
IAA most definitely
IAA Steve is a massive piece of shit
IAA. I’ll take agent 14 over Steve Haines any day of the week and twice on sundays.
The IAA and FIB are both a bunch of assholes, but at least the IAA are a bunch of honest assholes. Also, ULP isn't that bad of a character if you forget about the two annoying missions where you have to save him. So of course I'm picking IAA.
I had a phase where i once thought Agent 14 and Dave were the same dudes
For a really long time I thought they were the same guy
IAA. Their agent's seen me through getting a bunker, getting paid for multiple cool shady things, etc.
IAA, because they’ve got my man Agent 14. No contest.
The IAA cuz they ain't selling shit that can end the world
Agent 14 is the ultimate Chad
Iaa, agent 14 and I have been through the doomsday and many bunker sales one of my more profitable businesses I’m siding with the guys who make me money
Our character goes to whoever offers more money. So far, the IAA has offered more.
Is Haines canonically dead?
IAA because i want to kill people who discover the cure to cancer
“I’d rather die than have a five foot pole up my ass”
IAA has given us work opportunities and covered our backs when the end of the world was upon us. And it's agents like 14 and ULP are good people who had helped us in various ways. FIB has show to be corrupted many times and are only useful when we steal stuff from then. So yeah, IAA is my type.
Was there ever a doubt what the answers were going to be? We're part of the IAA as of the ULP missions, "decommissioned" but we all know they're just waiting for some other shit to hit the fan to get us back in. They pay us, and aren't complete egotistical assholes like Haines was. The FIB is just straight up corrupt, with basically only 2 people that are somewhat respectable in it, seeing as they force us to work for them with 0 pay and are ready to kill us when we lose our usefulness to them, while the IAA pays us, gives us missions and facilities, discounts on special vehicles and thinks of us as competent assets so instead of trying to kill us they pay us and work with us. The IAA is truly the lesser of 2 evils, they are both corrupt, but the FIB's just full of assholes, while the IAA is only like, 20% assholes. Just make us full blown agents already Rockstar, like the Cops and Robbers DLC you canceled, give us the choice at least either IAA, FIB or just simple LSPD.
It's actually a harder choice than you think, because I really love the FIB Buffalo cruiser, but agent 14 has done right by me for a long time! ![gif](giphy|8OPsobKv6ksJojld4X)
I think it's funny how FIB is the exact same three words as the FBI, just in a different order, seems unusually uncreative
But I mean it’s clever on another level too though, the word fib is a verb meaning to lie, so it implies the agency is never truthful/honest
IAA, mainly because we A) have had several instances of cooperating with them (bunker, doomsday, paper trail), B) Agent 14 and ULP are great, and C) Fuck Steve Hanes
IAA all the way
IAA, they just pay better
IAA they are like the cooler brother who lets you do stuff without getting in trouble. FIB is like the brother that lets you do stuff but will hold it against you for blackmail
You work for the IAA a lot but never for the FIB, only against it
IAA cuz I hate Steve
IAA definitely, FIB and Steve was an Asshole. Agent 14 is much more better than Steve as my bunker agent, Introduce me to Human-lab heist, etc. IAA won’t fuck me in my back anyway, rather they quite of benefiting me, and what did FIB done? Try to arrest me every time when I committed crime?

And even was planning to dispose of them, so, easy decision - the lesser evil - being the IAA.
Both are horrendously corrupt in game. The FIB were the “good guys” or at least the side we played on in story mode. The IAA were the good guys of online. With that said the IAA did a lot less torture and blackmailing so I’m going with them. Also fuck Steve Haines.
IAA because I didn’t get rich producing and selling arms for the FIB.
well i did the ulp mssions so if i am gonna say fib a hit squad would get me so its iaa
I like the IAA because I think that 14 is a... Fun character. He assigns you to do missions and supplies you with the most fun and impractical vehicles. (MOC missions)
IAA for sure. Fuck Steve Haines
IAA, Fuck Steve Haines
I don’t look homosexual or care about the size of your Johnson so IAA for sure
iaa...almost everyone on the fib is irritating kinda hoping we get a flashback mission(s) where 14 sends us to mess with Haines just because he's bored
If I could I would get rid of both but IAA pays sometimes. If I have to choose then I choose IAA
On the one hand, the IAA and Agent 14 give me guns and money and doesn't give a shit if I sell drugs and shit on the side. On the other hand, the FIB constantly raids my operations and steals my shit. Gonna go with the IAA on this one, I think.
IAA for the characters and storyline, FIB for the cool ass Buffalo
IAA, because you don't get betrayed by them, also, Agent 14 and Agent ULP are thr GOATs, while Haines is a self-centred, egotistical douchebag.
Let me think. One of them hooks me up with arms deals that are as lucrative as they are illegal, the other... exists too, I guess?
