The funniest thing to me is that I don’t specifically mention I speedran the game for so many years, so many people clicking the video will be like “why did this guy play a singleplayer game for 10000 hours?!” At 28:00 you don’t see where I put offshore merryweather, it was also C. 44:50 In hindsight I’d rank fresh meat a tad higher due to the cutscene at the end with Michael explaining why he betrayed everyone “one day your legs, they just give, and you can’t run no more”.
Friend Request is S tier mission for me. Not because the mission is actually good, but because the outfit Michael has to wear for the mission is the exact same outfit my dad wore at the time to fit in with the younger crowd at his workplace (a software firm). He's the same about the same age as Michael. Couldn't stop laughing for ages when we saw the connection which was just so close to home for me.
Repossession has one of my favourites and underrated lines, that is Simeon saying: Why don't you tell me, exactly what you want, then I'll very carefully explain to you why it CANNOT BE
The part in the "Kill Michael ending" where if you try to save Michael he basically kills himself, left me shook. Fell like it deserves a few points for that. Made me regret what I chose.
@@zNoxiuswhat i think happened is that Michael knew Franklin would kill him in ending B during the chase so i think that if you pick Franklin to pull Michael up. He headbutts him on purpose. So if anyone asks Franklin about what happened. Franklin could try to explain his side but no one would believe him. So making Franklin the bad guy still.
I think "The Long Strech" is an S tier mission because its the first big shootout in the game and has that amazing track playing while you mow down the ballas in the dark hallways. It has its own unique feel and its just perfect.
18:17 "I think it's almost impossible to fail this mission" On first playthroughs it can be very possible because you didn't get to control a chopper earlier in the game and it's kind of tricky to learn, specially on the part where you have to keep it stabilized just at the right place.
@@YuriDDLCFanwait, you had to be sneaky? I just rappeled with long jumps the whole time and nothing happened (i even kept banging on the glass during the interrogatiom scene).
18:15 my dad failed three's company so much. I remember watching him play in the living room back in 2013. When the IAA buzzards come after you, he didn't realize that you could switch to michael or trevor, so he stayed as franklin desperately trying to snipe the pilots. It took him an hour to finally switch at which point he shot them down immediately. It takes forever for the IAA to shoot them down and he mustve failed 10 times 😂
He left out the Predator cutscene from some reason (actually the reason is because you're in control of Franklin from the previous mission, and you only get it if you start the mission as Trevor or Michael). It's one of the funniest, realest cutscenes in the entire game.
And people have the nerve to say that Rockstar's writing has declined. Sure the satire was cranked to 11 from IV to V, but there's still really great writing aside from that in V.
@@muertolamento As a general rule, V has far superior writing to that of GTA IV. GTA IV's story is just more properly structured and interesting, but the moment-to-moment dialogue feels much more vivid and natural in V.
Yoga mission is S tier just for Michael's drug trip alone. The music was so damn good when he was falling from the sky - probably the best moment in the game.
@@appealtoreason7584 yeah, because It was epic, fun, music was great and It was kinda sad all things considered as you hear all the voices of people close to Michael calling him out.
Honestly the prologue and the first mission with Franklin was absolute god tier writing when the game first came out. After that, you were left with questions of why Michael lived and how Franklin comes into the story. The story, 3 playable characters, new looks, so much customisation all still in story mode, then you got online. Remember this game got 10s when it was first reviewed. I remember first playing it on ps3 and was always so eager to get back to it when I got home. GTA now has lost its early game aura that I so deeply miss.
Couldn't agree more. My first GTA was IV, and while that was absolutely fantastic, I was very intrigued by the introduction in GTA 5. I loved that first drive and then being able to explore the whole map from the beginning
@@mrbizzarosthats something the I loved about v, over iv and san andreas, where the maps were locked until you progressed. I remember when I first started playing when the game came out and as soon as I had free roam, I was exploring everything there was😂
Yes gta 5 has lost its aura 10 years after release. I totally get your point and I’m not trying to be a smart ass, but it’s been 10 years dawg of course the game doesn’t feel the same
The jewel store heist is underrated in this list. This is our first heist, which is exciting, plus we're getting some big money for the first time. I think it deserves at least B or even A. I always loved this mission
Also about Bury the hatchet, there are two ways to start a mission. If come as Michael you get what you know, but if you start as Trevor you steal Michael's car and drive to Sandy Shores while talking with Ron (about taking a plane to North Yankton).
I actually love the post big score fight just because how everyone gets mad over stuff for no reason, especially franklin’s “the fuck is wrong with the west coast”
The even funnier thing is, the Obvious approach doesn't have that, Trevor king of just brings down the mood a little bit and then everyone leaves. It's funny how much better the Obvious approach is on every possible level.
“No I didn’t kill him what kind of fucking animal do you take me for” I forgot Micheal’s line here 💀 (it’s “oh fuck”) “But I did kidnap his wife!” “Oh no 🤌🏻”
This video was edited so well. When I saw it was a tier list video I was expecting just a table with Matto talking, but the clips were so well chosen and the small transitions and quick little zoom effects made this the best tier list video I've seen from anyone.
Something that Matto forgot to mention is the sound track in a lot of these missions is really good. The Long Stretch, Prologue, Mr. Phillips are one's that really stick out to me, and they are super memorable. Something I appreciate is how the soundtrack always matches the characters and what's going on in the mission. Its a very underrated aspect of the game
bcz the game contains lot of copyrighted music all streamers disable music so he likely never heard of any tracks in the game. if R* given a Content creator toggle that would allow people like matt to hear the sound tracks.
@@Gokul_YtHe has well over 10,000 hours in the game. I find it hard to believe he isn't atleast aware of some of the soundtracks. I mean, he uses The Long Stretch theme while he is reviewing the mission. So it's more likely he just didn't think to mention it rather than being completely oblivious to them
@@Yougotcaged102 he played the game music off for the majority of the time due to Copyright. anyone that played casually without streaming 100% will remeber everything but streaming it no.
I don't necessarily mind whenever a mission does not reward you in a "meaningful" way for completing it (merryweather heist, devin weston gigs) because to me it feels like the game strengthening its themes and plot, even if it's at the expense of the player. It serves to show Franklin's frustration that after having come so far, he's getting fleeced doing repo jobs yet again, only at a considerably higher risk than he did for Simeon. For the Merryweather heist, it serves to show you how Trevor's eyes are bigger than his stomach and how his way of doing things either proves unfruitful (Series A heist) or puts everyone in a great deal of danger. I guess what I'm saying is I don't mind a little friction in a game, I encourage it, in fact, if it's done to make its own themes stronger.
true. it does highlight trevors flaws and shows he cannot plan things out alone. he is smart and calculating, but also impulsive, fails to think ahead, and ignores the small but important details. he gets the job done, but something prevents him from keeping the reward merryweather heist: the cargo is too dangerous to sell minor turbulence: the hijacking attracts military attention and the plane gets shot down derailed: the job of grabbing the loot goes to michael, who is far more interested in appeasing martin and getting back home than making money
The assassinations also introduce you to the stock market and let you affect it and if you catch onto Lester’s subtle hints throughout each mission, you can do exactly what he does and if you do it smartly, you can be a multibillionaire at the end of the game.
Problem with being a billionaire in story is that theres fuck all to buy and once youve bought the limited vehicles youve still got millions to twiddle your thumbs with
Matt seems to really enjoy when missions are non-scripted and have multiple ways to play them. Something that the old GTAs really excel at. I hope he replays the old GTAs at some point.

It feels like Simeon missions were written and intended to stock up the begining of the game with the way that Franklin treats the first missions as if happening over a week or two. While the rest of the game seems be month or two. Simeon's first call informs you of the new repo list. Yet you only ever go after the bike and the butter BeeJay is a separate later issue that Simeon accelerated.
I assume Rockstar said 'forget it' and scrapped the Franklin half of it since it would be a rather slow start and everyone wanted to rob banks and stuff on heists anyway. My two cents? They probably all got converted to GTAO missions since they make the bulk of old GTAO contact missions.
"Minisub might have been added to force you to appreciate the underwater scenery" There was almost no fauna or flora under the sea in the original release lol. Just a plain sandy bed and the occasional shark.
I'd say that fresh meat should be a tad higher because of the ''special'' scripted deaths. First experience they felt brutal and gave you that feeling of really busting through this gang to save your friend
Imo the merryweather heist was really important. It showed how crucial Lester is to the heist crew as he would’ve found a score just as good but that wouldn’t make them FBI most wanted and it showed just how far Trevor was willing to go to prove himself to Michael
The Third Way is one of my favorite Rockstar missions which basically makes it one of my favorite missions EVER in any video game, the ending is probably also my favorite out of any that i have seen. I have played through every other highly regarded Rockstar game besides Manhunt and Max Payne and this is still the one that gives me goosebumps whenever i play it, its such a beautiful ending to an amazing story.
For me missions like Chop and Minor Turbulence go instantly in S just because of the music. Adding background music to missions is actually introduced in GTA V.
I've always had a theory that Michael kept a lot of his ill-gotten gains on the boat. That's why he reacts so strongly to it being stolen. He practically says that it's not just a boat that he's lost. And then just after having lost potentially millions in stolen goods, he then rips the house off the mountain and ends up needing to pay Madrazo a million. If the boat wasn't taken he may have just shot the tennis coach, instead of ripping a house off a mountain; and even if he did, he could have paid Madrazo off with what was on the boat, not to mention the boat itself. I've always felt that the boat was a lot more important than was ever expressly mentioned.
I remember when I first saw Franklin giving his license to Madrazo I thought that Madrazo was actually stealing the license to make a point, but now I realize that he was stealing it because he is a notorious thief.
I’m little salty about the firefighter bureau raid not being at least higher in A tier because I honestly think that it is visually awesome mission with a really cool concept and really well executed
24:47 Important note: Lester tells Franklin these assassinations are done purely for Lester to make money off of the stock market. If you actually pay attention to who is being killed, and what companies they work for, you can actually make an assload of money if you listen to Lester before each mission and buy the competing companies stock, sell it at its peak, and then buy the companies stock who went down, and selling that at its normal market price (which it rebounds to ~2 in game weeks after the assassination)
Yeah, it's pretty much the only way to do stuff like buy the Golf Club. The Hotel Assassination is really good for a big cash injection halfway through the game. The others can be ignored until the post-game, which you're usually encouraged to do if you want to turn Big Score money into stupid money, but at that point you'll kinda be left with nothing to do with it.
Blitz Play is S tier. Idk if it's just me but when I think GTA V that's the mission I remember first, it's a big clusterfuck of a shootout, the beginning cutscene is pretty funny, sets up for a bunch of other stuff later on, my only gripe is that you're literally tryna grab a couple of papers which I completely missed in my first playthrough
It is uncanny how much I link the GTAV missions with Pacifist%. All the Jokes come back to mind. To be honest I dont think I would have enjoyes this as much as I did without that series. BRB gomma rewatch for a 22nd time.
LMAOO I’ve never seen that scene around 2:40 where the tennis instructor screams “help! HES BLAAACK!” god I’m in tears that’s so terrible but so hilarious
Trevor hitting the guy with the chair in Fame or Shame is S tier in my book. Paleto score setup has excellent dialouge on the drive to Paleto if you listen to all of it.
Long Stretch is my favorite GTA 5 mission. It's the first real big shotout in the game, and while it's by no means realistic, I like it that you're not just run-and-gunning dozens of trained SWAT guys but rather skirmishing against gangsters with your homies. The enemy positioning is cool, the dialogue is funny and the fact the place caughts on fire in the middle of an already chaotic shootout is really cool. But the best part of the mission is the amazing soundtrack. I can agree the gun store part and escaping the cops aren't the highlights.
I think too many times you are watching it from speedrunner perspective but games are not made for speedrunners, they are made for common players who just want to enjoy the game. I loved story and long talkings and cinematics way more than running and shooting
he is a speedrunner dawg why tf would be change his opinion or whatever. + this game has amazing shooting and about 80% shit in every other category so you're wrong
Bury the Hatchet is my favorite mission PURELY because of how i used to be so bad at it, and when i finally overcame all the enemies only to be captured, its genuinely buried in my mind, pun intended
The way you traveled to Dave Norton and met him at the observatory I laughed so hard. And I have really bad health issues and I found out the day of the trailer dropped some bad stuff about my long-term health. I'm afraid I won't be here for GTA 6. I don't want to talk about it too much because it really messes with my mentality. But thank you for making me laugh really hard that was funny as hell with the blimp
For anyone who doesnt know, if you've played By the Book before and remember what they guy you gotta shoot looks like (or are just really lucky), you can shoot him once the address and 1 detail about him is revealed. It has some unique dialogue if you do it but hey, it saves Mr K a bit of pain.
28:42 ever notice how Trevor covers his eyes, Franklin covers his mouth and Michael covers his ears? "I didnt see a thing" "I wont say a thing" "I didnt hear a thing" 😂
As someone who's not even that big of a fan of Lost and the Damned, I cannot disagree more on the Johnny bit. Absolutely hated that scene. Having a former protagonist be shown to have regressed from his character development so badly that he's gotten back with his ex and became a drug addict only to get immediately killed by a new protagonist is downright insulting character writing. And once again it's not like I'm a Johnny Klebitz superfan or anything but he did not deserve that kind of treatment at all, which soured Trevor's character introduction for me greatly.
I liked Johnny and you perfectly described what I have against it. I honestly think The Lost shouldn't be in this game at all as it was the Angels Of Death that was the big gang to be hated, whereas The Lost was a small gang that only existed in Liberty City and Alderney. Just terrible writing all-round
@@MuscleCarLovernah but the cutscene was good because it showed how dangerous and unpredictable trevor is. Still is one of my favorite cutscenes. Plus the angels of death aren’t important players in the main GTA 4 story. People know more about the lost Mc then the angels of death
@@8bitmack The Lost started and ended entirely within Liberty City and Alderney. It makes zero sense for them to be on the west coast after disbanding. Then there's the trope of making a tough guy suddenly become a weakling in a sad attempt at making another person look tough. There are a lot of more effective ways to do that. It's bad and lazy writing. Johnny, Ashley, Clayton and Terry are so obviously just shoehorned into the story for a bit. It's a spit into the face against the story of The Lost And Damned as that game's story was all about the downfall and ending of the gang, not to mention that they completely flipped Johnny into being the opposite of his character
One bug I’ve noticed about ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’ that happens every so often is when Tracy tells Michael to drive the JetSki into the tunnel, the enemies chasing you are obviously supposed to despawn after Michael supposedly gets away from them, Yet, no matter how far you travel away from your pursuers, they’ll constantly respawn until Michael is forced to end their pursuit by killing them.
I like how he mentions that most of what you do in many of the missions is just driving from Point A to B yet he was complaining about red dead redemption 2 having same type of travel but with horses in many missions
Scouting the port is easily my least favourite mission. I remember failing over and over again for some small mistake, and having to restart the slow process again and again, just to fail for hitting a single atom. FFF tier
So is anyone else just thinking about how these mission relate to OHKO or Pacifist? Like "daddy's little girl" with Jimmy on the bikes and Matto getting a phone call and dying as a result?... that's all I can see in these missions and I'm all for it. *Merry weather fleets here bro!*
Fun fact: there was used to have Sharmoota Job which contains 3 options, the first option is stealth mode the second one was supposed to be Mine and the third one was Clown heist, and there was also supposed to be horse where you ride right after you kidnap Patricia, but apparently it was replaced by Caida Libre Also 2nd fun fact: the Ending C was supposed to be involving of Franklin death where he killed himself and you play as Lamar, but I’m glad it got replaced by the third way which all 3 Characters lived
I do like a lot the Sandy Shores act with Michael and Trevor, it’s starts after Caida Libre which is a great mission and the remaining missions are a bunch of Trevory with lots of action plus Michael and Trevor’s bond gets stronger just to make Buried Hatchet more impactful
It's interesting seeing the perspective of a speedrunner as to what the best missions are. I remember loving missions like I Fought the Law, Paleto Score Setup or especially Pacman. Micheal telling Trevor he's a hipster, or hearing Trevor and Lamar's banter was really memorable and captivating in my opinion. I would've ranked them much higher, but to Matto, who doesn't usually hear the entirety of the dialogue (or doesn't pay attention to it) it's just "drive from point A to point B".
8:16 I think I consider the the Vangelico Heist one of my favorites in 5 is because it's essentially the only one that really pays you with the obvious exception of the UD, which I feel is less useful because that's just giving you a bunch of money to play with post-story
I like that in the freighter Merryweather Heist if you start as Franklin with driving his car specifically to Floyd's Apartment, then take it as Trevor after the cutscene, Franklin'll comment on it like, "Oh, so we taking my car, huh?"
Did somebody say yoga is my favourite mission and has been since I first saw the game. The drugged sequence always just seemed so good and I loved the skydiving part so much.
Derailed is my favorite. I haven't found a comment of anyone else saying this or met anyone who agrees, but my favorite visual in the game is when Trevor jumps off the bridge and flies through the air, as the 2 trains behind him collide head-on and its containers fall behind him into the water below. In the intro, I love how Trevor carries Michael out of the trailer in excitement because he and Ron dreamed of this, and Michael doesn't know anything about it. I believe it's also the only job that Michael and Trevor do themselves. I enjoy the small cutscene of Trevor jumping off his bike, onto the train, and getting into it. As Matt mentioned, it's the only time you get to drive a train. Trevor ends up rerouting it at the Paleto Bay train station, and the whole shootout after Michael blows the container open to get the gold is a completely unique mission. Matt didn't mention the end cutscene where Michel and Trevor fight over the loot that Michael took to give Martin to, "end things" and by giving Patricia back to him, but Trevor says it's his score. So, in order to have the golden statue in his briefcase, Michael promises Trevor the Union Depository job!!! I believe this is the first mentioning of it as well, and it's an iconic cutscene to me. As it ends, they both yell, "The Big One!" Great moment. I know Matt said he hates this mission, but only because of his pacifist runs. Trevor's line, "Merryweather fleet's here bro!" as the shootout began always haunted him lol. Also, Ned Luke said his favorite line he had is in this mission, when he sarcastically jokes, "Yes, I hear Stockholm Syndrome is very nice this time of year." This whole mission with the full cutscenes is done in about 10 minutes. Gold is 11:30. S tier mission.
I never realized how much of the missions are just tutorials or trying to get you to do a certain thing like mini sub is hitting towards collectables being in the ocean.
Top 10 missions 1. The Big Score 2. The Third Way 3. The Jewel Store Job 4. The Paleto Score 5. Caida Libre 6. Blitz Play 7. Three’s Company 8. The Bureau Raid 9. The Long Stretch 10. Franklin and Lamar
The Third Way is such a cop out to me. There’s no stakes, they just said, “hey, why not just kill all the bad guys in a single day, fight off an entire army and ride into the sunset”. Like, okay then. No consequences having to be faced for their countless horrible choices and crimes, just a really safe and contrived way to deliver a happy ending. GTA 4’s endings were much better, narratively, I think.
I would argue that not showing Trevor killing Ron and his girlfriend aren't really a negative, I understand why you wouldn't think about this cause it's hard to focus on the fine details of the writing this game has when you've played it so many times, but it's a really good example of "show don't tell", if you just saw Trevor kill them it wouldn't really feel as impactful as it being something you have to just think about, and it also makes it slightly easier to insert yourself into Trevor as a character than if you saw him brutally murder them on screen (people are more likely to accept terrible actions offscreen)
11:03 that's what happened when i first did this mission. At the end, i beat it without Trevor's special ability and went on to play the entire game without using any of the special abilities of the different characters because i didn't pay attention when the game introduced them 😂
I just started playing gta 5, and I did the 2nd mission, and I have stopped entirely just to focus on running around in free roam, constantly getting 5 stars over and over and over. I wish I could continue.... but killing endless wanted waves is just too fun even with only a pistol, shotgun, and carbine rifle that I loot off corpses. I have wasted 40 hours doing just that with no end in sight
My top 10 missions. 1. Ending C 2. Big score (Plan A) 3. Paleto score 4. Prologue 5. Meltdown 6. The wrap up 7. Lamar down 8. Hood safari 9. Blitz Play 10. The long stretch
The funniest thing to me is that I don’t specifically mention I speedran the game for so many years, so many people clicking the video will be like “why did this guy play a singleplayer game for 10000 hours?!” At 28:00 you don’t see where I put offshore merryweather, it was also C. 44:50 In hindsight I’d rank fresh meat a tad higher due to the cutscene at the end with Michael explaining why he betrayed everyone “one day your legs, they just give, and you can’t run no more”.
It took you 10,000 hours to Speedrun GTA 5? Some speedrunner you are

I think "The Long Strech" is an S tier mission because its the first big shootout in the game and has that amazing track playing while you mow down the ballas in the dark hallways. It has its own unique feel and its just perfect.

It took him an hour to finally switch at which point he shot them down immediately. It takes forever for the IAA to shoot them down and he mustve failed 10 times 😂

This video made me realize how amazing-funny-memorable cutscenes and dialogues are in this game
As someone who thinks GTA IV is a better story overall alongside the DLC, the cut scenes and chemistry between all the characters is really well done.
He left out the Predator cutscene from some reason (actually the reason is because you're in control of Franklin from the previous mission, and you only get it if you start the mission as Trevor or Michael). It's one of the funniest, realest cutscenes in the entire game.

Honestly the prologue and the first mission with Franklin was absolute god tier writing when the game first came out. After that, you were left with questions of why Michael lived and how Franklin comes into the story. The story, 3 playable characters, new looks, so much customisation all still in story mode, then you got online. Remember this game got 10s when it was first reviewed. I remember first playing it on ps3 and was always so eager to get back to it when I got home. GTA now has lost its early game aura that I so deeply miss.
Yep and all we can really do is wait for gta 6 and hope it will be as good and maybe even better
Couldn't agree more. My first GTA was IV, and while that was absolutely fantastic, I was very intrigued by the introduction in GTA 5. I loved that first drive and then being able to explore the whole map from the beginning
@@mrbizzarosthats something the I loved about v, over iv and san andreas, where the maps were locked until you progressed. I remember when I first started playing when the game came out and as soon as I had free roam, I was exploring everything there was😂
I hope gta 6 will bring that feeling back
The thrill and everything
Yes gta 5 has lost its aura 10 years after release. I totally get your point and I’m not trying to be a smart ass, but it’s been 10 years dawg of course the game doesn’t feel the same
The jewel store heist is underrated in this list. This is our first heist, which is exciting, plus we're getting some big money for the first time. I think it deserves at least B or even A. I always loved this mission
same. Especially the "smart" route. It's simple and kinda grounded. I often stop a playthrough halfway because it gets more and more absurd
Also about Bury the hatchet, there are two ways to start a mission. If come as Michael you get what you know, but if you start as Trevor you steal Michael's car and drive to Sandy Shores while talking with Ron (about taking a plane to North Yankton).
Bury the Hatchet is easily one of the best, top 3 at very least
Yeah, I'm surprised with all the talk about having multiple ways to tackle missions, that he doesn't even mention that.
@@gonealoof2106 Probably, because you don't use that route in speedrun so he forgot about it.
But yeah, what you said is the reason I bring up this.
number 1 for sure , it gives you insane flashbacks of how everything began.@@AbviiXBL
I actually love the post big score fight just because how everyone gets mad over stuff for no reason, especially franklin’s “the fuck is wrong with the west coast”
The even funnier thing is, the Obvious approach doesn't have that, Trevor king of just brings down the mood a little bit and then everyone leaves. It's funny how much better the Obvious approach is on every possible level.
My favorite Mission has always been Caida Libre. Playing that for the first time felt so cool.
Shooting the plane down then following it is amazing.
For me, crazy how Caida Libre and Minor Turbulence are back to back GOATs

This video was edited so well. When I saw it was a tier list video I was expecting just a table with Matto talking, but the clips were so well chosen and the small transitions and quick little zoom effects made this the best tier list video I've seen from anyone.
Something that Matto forgot to mention is the sound track in a lot of these missions is really good. The Long Stretch, Prologue, Mr. Phillips are one's that really stick out to me, and they are super memorable. Something I appreciate is how the soundtrack always matches the characters and what's going on in the mission. Its a very underrated aspect of the game
bcz the game contains lot of copyrighted music all streamers disable music so he likely never heard of any tracks in the game. if R* given a Content creator toggle that would allow people like matt to hear the sound tracks.
@@Gokul_YtHe has well over 10,000 hours in the game. I find it hard to believe he isn't atleast aware of some of the soundtracks. I mean, he uses The Long Stretch theme while he is reviewing the mission. So it's more likely he just didn't think to mention it rather than being completely oblivious to them
@@Yougotcaged102 the music is put in place by editor and likely suggested by his mods
@@Gokul_Yt Perhaps, but it's still really unlikely someone who has played this game so much dosen't remember atleast a few of the tracks
@@Yougotcaged102 he played the game music off for the majority of the time due to Copyright. anyone that played casually without streaming 100% will remeber everything but streaming it no.
I don't necessarily mind whenever a mission does not reward you in a "meaningful" way for completing it (merryweather heist, devin weston gigs) because to me it feels like the game strengthening its themes and plot, even if it's at the expense of the player. It serves to show Franklin's frustration that after having come so far, he's getting fleeced doing repo jobs yet again, only at a considerably higher risk than he did for Simeon. For the Merryweather heist, it serves to show you how Trevor's eyes are bigger than his stomach and how his way of doing things either proves unfruitful (Series A heist) or puts everyone in a great deal of danger. I guess what I'm saying is I don't mind a little friction in a game, I encourage it, in fact, if it's done to make its own themes stronger.
true. it does highlight trevors flaws and shows he cannot plan things out alone. he is smart and calculating, but also impulsive, fails to think ahead, and ignores the small but important details. he gets the job done, but something prevents him from keeping the reward
merryweather heist: the cargo is too dangerous to sell
minor turbulence: the hijacking attracts military attention and the plane gets shot down
derailed: the job of grabbing the loot goes to michael, who is far more interested in appeasing martin and getting back home than making money
When i saw that the 20M$ from Merryweather heist will be cancelled, i failed 3 times and skip all the mission. I will not feeling pain for no gain !
The assassinations also introduce you to the stock market and let you affect it and if you catch onto Lester’s subtle hints throughout each mission, you can do exactly what he does and if you do it smartly, you can be a multibillionaire at the end of the game.
How? What stocks should I put money into
@@SuitsnstylesguyThere’s an IGN video laying it out for you. Don’t touch the assassination missions until you’ve beaten the campaign.
Problem with being a billionaire in story is that theres fuck all to buy and once youve bought the limited vehicles youve still got millions to twiddle your thumbs with
no point in all that money is there
I was able to get Michael to a billion on my original play through back at launch
Matt seems to really enjoy when missions are non-scripted and have multiple ways to play them. Something that the old GTAs really excel at. I hope he replays the old GTAs at some point.
I LOVE that during the Minor Turbulence part, you played the song that failed you time after time in OHKO 😂
He has trauma in that mission cuz he hate that theme 😂😂

Ur a goat
I kind of wish we had more missions with Simeon before getting fired and with Mr Chang Jr before the deal is broken
Yeah same
I agree about Simeon but not with mr chang
The casino missions made up for the lack of missions with Cheng in SP
It feels like Simeon missions were written and intended to stock up the begining of the game with the way that Franklin treats the first missions as if happening over a week or two. While the rest of the game seems be month or two. Simeon's first call informs you of the new repo list. Yet you only ever go after the bike and the butter BeeJay is a separate later issue that Simeon accelerated.
I assume Rockstar said 'forget it' and scrapped the Franklin half of it since it would be a rather slow start and everyone wanted to rob banks and stuff on heists anyway.
My two cents? They probably all got converted to GTAO missions since they make the bulk of old GTAO contact missions.
"Minisub might have been added to force you to appreciate the underwater scenery"
There was almost no fauna or flora under the sea in the original release lol. Just a plain sandy bed and the occasional shark.
Can’t wait for next year’s traditional annual tier list on ranking heists in GTA Online!
I'd say that fresh meat should be a tad higher because of the ''special'' scripted deaths. First experience they felt brutal and gave you that feeling of really busting through this gang to save your friend
Imo the merryweather heist was really important. It showed how crucial Lester is to the heist crew as he would’ve found a score just as good but that wouldn’t make them FBI most wanted and it showed just how far Trevor was willing to go to prove himself to Michael
The Third Way is one of my favorite Rockstar missions which basically makes it one of my favorite missions EVER in any video game, the ending is probably also my favorite out of any that i have seen.
I have played through every other highly regarded Rockstar game besides Manhunt and Max Payne and this is still the one that gives me goosebumps whenever i play it, its such a beautiful ending to an amazing story.
For me missions like Chop and Minor Turbulence go instantly in S just because of the music.
Adding background music to missions is actually introduced in GTA V.
Yeah it's awesome
Had to think about this and to the best of my memory you're right. Gta IV had music here and there but it was always after the mission.
I just loved parachuting out of the plane in Minor Turbulence and watching it fall into the sea
I hated that I couldn't disable that in-mission background music.
I've always had a theory that Michael kept a lot of his ill-gotten gains on the boat. That's why he reacts so strongly to it being stolen. He practically says that it's not just a boat that he's lost. And then just after having lost potentially millions in stolen goods, he then rips the house off the mountain and ends up needing to pay Madrazo a million. If the boat wasn't taken he may have just shot the tennis coach, instead of ripping a house off a mountain; and even if he did, he could have paid Madrazo off with what was on the boat, not to mention the boat itself. I've always felt that the boat was a lot more important than was ever expressly mentioned.
This video just shows that GTA6 really needs some proper stealth in order to do something new.
please stop with the shitty forced stealth sections god please
Let be honest most people (or child) don't have patient for stealth approach.
@@syntax2004Could have both. 5's heists have stealth and gunsblazing options that you can pick from. Could do the same for 6.
@@syntax2004that’s tik tok tiny attention span talk bro come on
RDR2 did. I'm sure GTA 6 will.
I remember when I first saw Franklin giving his license to Madrazo I thought that Madrazo was actually stealing the license to make a point, but now I realize that he was stealing it because he is a notorious thief.
Ahkcschually he's a notorious *license* thief 🤓
@@chloeprice9649 but that’s what I said
Crystal Maze casually is pretty fun because it leads you to the hill and lets you can snipe all the guards before you rush into the shootout
I’m little salty about the firefighter bureau raid not being at least higher in A tier because I honestly think that it is visually awesome mission with a really cool concept and really well executed
24:47 Important note: Lester tells Franklin these assassinations are done purely for Lester to make money off of the stock market. If you actually pay attention to who is being killed, and what companies they work for, you can actually make an assload of money if you listen to Lester before each mission and buy the competing companies stock, sell it at its peak, and then buy the companies stock who went down, and selling that at its normal market price (which it rebounds to ~2 in game weeks after the assassination)
That is actually crazy fucking worldbuilding
I think everybody know this at this point buddy
The hotel assasination is useless though
Wait what that’s cool
Yeah, it's pretty much the only way to do stuff like buy the Golf Club. The Hotel Assassination is really good for a big cash injection halfway through the game. The others can be ignored until the post-game, which you're usually encouraged to do if you want to turn Big Score money into stupid money, but at that point you'll kinda be left with nothing to do with it.
Blitz Play is S tier. Idk if it's just me but when I think GTA V that's the mission I remember first, it's a big clusterfuck of a shootout, the beginning cutscene is pretty funny, sets up for a bunch of other stuff later on, my only gripe is that you're literally tryna grab a couple of papers which I completely missed in my first playthrough
I really like Hood Safari. And the soundtrack in that mission fits so well.
58:36 "The film that Molly had wasn't real." yeah but it sure was the REEL version hahahahaahahhhh

I always imagined Trevor biting Martin's ear off like mike
It is uncanny how much I link the GTAV missions with Pacifist%. All the Jokes come back to mind. To be honest I dont think I would have enjoyes this as much as I did without that series. BRB gomma rewatch for a 22nd time.
LMAOO I’ve never seen that scene around 2:40 where the tennis instructor screams “help! HES BLAAACK!” god I’m in tears that’s so terrible but so hilarious
Trevor hitting the guy with the chair in Fame or Shame is S tier in my book.
Paleto score setup has excellent dialouge on the drive to Paleto if you listen to all of it.
Long Stretch is my favorite GTA 5 mission.
It's the first real big shotout in the game, and while it's by no means realistic, I like it that you're not just run-and-gunning dozens of trained SWAT guys but rather skirmishing against gangsters with your homies. The enemy positioning is cool, the dialogue is funny and the fact the place caughts on fire in the middle of an already chaotic shootout is really cool. But the best part of the mission is the amazing soundtrack.
I can agree the gun store part and escaping the cops aren't the highlights.
Scouting the port is the best mission in all of gaming
I'm a fanatic for a specific game that I continously mod and played for 2.5k hours but you speedrunning gta for 10k hours is insane.
The vangelico heist is an S tier cause it's the perfect heist to introduce people to
I think too many times you are watching it from speedrunner perspective but games are not made for speedrunners, they are made for common players who just want to enjoy the game. I loved story and long talkings and cinematics way more than running and shooting
he is a speedrunner dawg why tf would be change his opinion or whatever. + this game has amazing shooting and about 80% shit in every other category so you're wrong
Bury the Hatchet is my favorite mission PURELY because of how i used to be so bad at it, and when i finally overcame all the enemies only to be captured, its genuinely buried in my mind, pun intended
The banter between Michael and Trevor about Trevor being a hipster is the best conversation in the game.
Now do a side missions/strangers and freaks tier list
Michael's drug trip pushes Yoga mission into S tier. Its the best moment in the game
I chose ending B on my first play through. It devastated me, I had to go back to an earlier save file and do C instead.
I never intent to "kill" any of the characters, looks like you cut off 30% of the game...
You actually went from L to W
The way you traveled to Dave Norton and met him at the observatory I laughed so hard. And I have really bad health issues and I found out the day of the trailer dropped some bad stuff about my long-term health. I'm afraid I won't be here for GTA 6. I don't want to talk about it too much because it really messes with my mentality. But thank you for making me laugh really hard that was funny as hell with the blimp
Also in the fist heist , Lester mentions the online characters , when he is asked if he as any contacts in LS
My favorite mission is the one where you found out Micheal was in witness protection, great vid Matto!
“micheal”
I literally searched for this for the 3 year old video and this video came out 7 minutes ago, what’s are the chances. That’s MILLIONS to one.
Lol I did the same months ago, I had sworn he made a GTA tier list before but I never could find it
Davey isn't just S tier
It's its own Davey tier
this video made me realize how few cutscenes ive ever actually fully watched, even after playing through this game multiple times
You’ve missed out on a lot
“Moses ironically he found Jesus” is still the best Lester quote for me.
Long stretch is an S for me because it has the best soundtrack music for any mission in the whole game, imo
For anyone who doesnt know, if you've played By the Book before and remember what they guy you gotta shoot looks like (or are just really lucky), you can shoot him once the address and 1 detail about him is revealed. It has some unique dialogue if you do it but hey, it saves Mr K a bit of pain.
15:33 Darkviperau after hearing this: WITNESS PROTECTION FOR WHAT?!
28:42 ever notice how Trevor covers his eyes, Franklin covers his mouth and Michael covers his ears?
"I didnt see a thing"
"I wont say a thing"
"I didnt hear a thing"
😂
As someone who's not even that big of a fan of Lost and the Damned, I cannot disagree more on the Johnny bit. Absolutely hated that scene. Having a former protagonist be shown to have regressed from his character development so badly that he's gotten back with his ex and became a drug addict only to get immediately killed by a new protagonist is downright insulting character writing. And once again it's not like I'm a Johnny Klebitz superfan or anything but he did not deserve that kind of treatment at all, which soured Trevor's character introduction for me greatly.
I liked Johnny and you perfectly described what I have against it. I honestly think The Lost shouldn't be in this game at all as it was the Angels Of Death that was the big gang to be hated, whereas The Lost was a small gang that only existed in Liberty City and Alderney. Just terrible writing all-round
@@MuscleCarLovernah but the cutscene was good because it showed how dangerous and unpredictable trevor is. Still is one of my favorite cutscenes. Plus the angels of death aren’t important players in the main GTA 4 story. People know more about the lost Mc then the angels of death
@@8bitmack The Lost started and ended entirely within Liberty City and Alderney. It makes zero sense for them to be on the west coast after disbanding.
Then there's the trope of making a tough guy suddenly become a weakling in a sad attempt at making another person look tough. There are a lot of more effective ways to do that. It's bad and lazy writing.
Johnny, Ashley, Clayton and Terry are so obviously just shoehorned into the story for a bit. It's a spit into the face against the story of The Lost And Damned as that game's story was all about the downfall and ending of the gang, not to mention that they completely flipped Johnny into being the opposite of his character
Bro would love Abby TLOU2
Nah Johnny sucked.
Not mentioning the scene where lamar roasts franklin is criminal its def by far the most iconic scene in the game
I disagree on Trevor Philips Industries. From this standpoint, sure, but playing it for the first time the shootout was absolutely sick
That introductory side mission was such a bad example that i literally never did any side missions until years later
Friends reunited has that one moment when you stop to watch the night-lit city and it's a beautiful moment.
One bug I’ve noticed about ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’ that happens every so often is when Tracy tells Michael to drive the JetSki into the tunnel, the enemies chasing you are obviously supposed to despawn after Michael supposedly gets away from them, Yet, no matter how far you travel away from your pursuers, they’ll constantly respawn until Michael is forced to end their pursuit by killing them.
I like how he mentions that most of what you do in many of the missions is just driving from Point A to B yet he was complaining about red dead redemption 2 having same type of travel but with horses in many missions
It's almost impossible to fail three's company
*OHKO Flashbacks* 👀
Scouting the port is easily my least favourite mission. I remember failing over and over again for some small mistake, and having to restart the slow process again and again, just to fail for hitting a single atom. FFF tier
That’s why I just skip
I'd love for the missions to be ranked by how fun they are in chaos
Wish the Sharmoota Job was still in the game, would be an instant S tier with the escape on actual Horses, a cut thing from the game.
So is anyone else just thinking about how these mission relate to OHKO or Pacifist? Like "daddy's little girl" with Jimmy on the bikes and Matto getting a phone call and dying as a result?... that's all I can see in these missions and I'm all for it.
*Merry weather fleets here bro!*
Fun fact: there was used to have Sharmoota Job which contains 3 options, the first option is stealth mode the second one was supposed to be Mine and the third one was Clown heist, and there was also supposed to be horse where you ride right after you kidnap Patricia, but apparently it was replaced by Caida Libre
Also 2nd fun fact: the Ending C was supposed to be involving of Franklin death where he killed himself and you play as Lamar, but I’m glad it got replaced by the third way which all 3 Characters lived
I do like a lot the Sandy Shores act with Michael and Trevor, it’s starts after Caida Libre which is a great mission and the remaining missions are a bunch of Trevory with lots of action plus Michael and Trevor’s bond gets stronger just to make Buried Hatchet more impactful
53:17 the Helicopter Option have a much nicer and cooler Ending
It's interesting seeing the perspective of a speedrunner as to what the best missions are. I remember loving missions like I Fought the Law, Paleto Score Setup or especially Pacman. Micheal telling Trevor he's a hipster, or hearing Trevor and Lamar's banter was really memorable and captivating in my opinion. I would've ranked them much higher, but to Matto, who doesn't usually hear the entirety of the dialogue (or doesn't pay attention to it) it's just "drive from point A to point B".
8:16 I think I consider the the Vangelico Heist one of my favorites in 5 is because it's essentially the only one that really pays you with the obvious exception of the UD, which I feel is less useful because that's just giving you a bunch of money to play with post-story
I like that in the freighter Merryweather Heist if you start as Franklin with driving his car specifically to Floyd's Apartment, then take it as Trevor after the cutscene, Franklin'll comment on it like, "Oh, so we taking my car, huh?"
I got literally it untintensionally since i gone there as franklin as in free roam i love him
Did somebody say yoga is my favourite mission and has been since I first saw the game. The drugged sequence always just seemed so good and I loved the skydiving part so much.
love the beautiful GTA IV sound track being played in the background when Niko is referenced
Derailed is my favorite. I haven't found a comment of anyone else saying this or met anyone who agrees, but my favorite visual in the game is when Trevor jumps off the bridge and flies through the air, as the 2 trains behind him collide head-on and its containers fall behind him into the water below. In the intro, I love how Trevor carries Michael out of the trailer in excitement because he and Ron dreamed of this, and Michael doesn't know anything about it. I believe it's also the only job that Michael and Trevor do themselves. I enjoy the small cutscene of Trevor jumping off his bike, onto the train, and getting into it. As Matt mentioned, it's the only time you get to drive a train. Trevor ends up rerouting it at the Paleto Bay train station, and the whole shootout after Michael blows the container open to get the gold is a completely unique mission. Matt didn't mention the end cutscene where Michel and Trevor fight over the loot that Michael took to give Martin to, "end things" and by giving Patricia back to him, but Trevor says it's his score. So, in order to have the golden statue in his briefcase, Michael promises Trevor the Union Depository job!!! I believe this is the first mentioning of it as well, and it's an iconic cutscene to me. As it ends, they both yell, "The Big One!" Great moment. I know Matt said he hates this mission, but only because of his pacifist runs. Trevor's line, "Merryweather fleet's here bro!" as the shootout began always haunted him lol. Also, Ned Luke said his favorite line he had is in this mission, when he sarcastically jokes, "Yes, I hear Stockholm Syndrome is very nice this time of year." This whole mission with the full cutscenes is done in about 10 minutes. Gold is 11:30. S tier mission.
I never realized how much of the missions are just tutorials or trying to get you to do a certain thing like mini sub is hitting towards collectables being in the ocean.

The Third Way is such a cop out to me. There’s no stakes, they just said, “hey, why not just kill all the bad guys in a single day, fight off an entire army and ride into the sunset”. Like, okay then. No consequences having to be faced for their countless horrible choices and crimes, just a really safe and contrived way to deliver a happy ending. GTA 4’s endings were much better, narratively, I think.
I would argue that not showing Trevor killing Ron and his girlfriend aren't really a negative, I understand why you wouldn't think about this cause it's hard to focus on the fine details of the writing this game has when you've played it so many times, but it's a really good example of "show don't tell", if you just saw Trevor kill them it wouldn't really feel as impactful as it being something you have to just think about, and it also makes it slightly easier to insert yourself into Trevor as a character than if you saw him brutally murder them on screen (people are more likely to accept terrible actions offscreen)
I've been watching darkviperau since he had 6000 hours, and it's been worth it.
3:02 "there's nothing offensive about it" meanwhile the tennis coach:
11:03 that's what happened when i first did this mission. At the end, i beat it without Trevor's special ability and went on to play the entire game without using any of the special abilities of the different characters because i didn't pay attention when the game introduced them 😂
0:29 could’ve been the thumbnail
I just started playing gta 5, and I did the 2nd mission, and I have stopped entirely just to focus on running around in free roam, constantly getting 5 stars over and over and over. I wish I could continue.... but killing endless wanted waves is just too fun even with only a pistol, shotgun, and carbine rifle that I loot off corpses. I have wasted 40 hours doing just that with no end in sight
“If your going to speak Spanish speak it to each other” *While talking to each other* *IN MANDARIN* will always be my favorite line in the game.
