Do the Healthcare Bills annoy anyone else?

[TehAdz]

It's really starting to annoy me now;
I've made about $38,000 from missions, and I've spent $32,000 on health care.

I started today with about $5,000, and after a few tries of a mission, I'm down to $2k.

Anyone else find this annoying?

[Immortal Evil]

Jesus you must die ALOT, yes they are annoying but i don't think i had anywhere near that much death.

[LFCDANNY 2k8]

Wow, you die a lot. I've died about 10 times.

[Righteous1 Is I]

reloading FTW!

[Santa]

Least you keep your weapons, in old GTA you would lose like another 10k.

[Veles]

Better than Saint's Row too, that would just take a % of your total money, so if you were saving up for something big and died, you'd lose like 20k in one go.

If you die in a mission too many times, just reload

[Hammy8107]

the price goes up to 10k per death later on in the game at the end of the story i earned 950000$ and spent 350000$ on healthcare

[-jase-]

reloading FTW!
Aint that the truth make sure you save before doing missions and you won't be having to pay no bills.

:drunk

[TehAdz]

I know I die a lot, I prefer jumping off high places than doing missions (had the game since the 26th, and I've only done 30 something missions).

Also, about reloading...

I save every few hours, so if I get a hard mission, I usually don't have a save from right before it, so I try it again, die, and then think if I keep trying, I'll do it eventually, and so saving would be a waste of time. Which isn't really the case most of the time :x

[BDalex]

how do you get up high places

[aussiegamer]

I die alot and have the same problem.

I guess it goes under the whole 'realistic' theme GTA4 has..

[Blackjaw x]

Dude, just load your autosave if you die. It saves after everything important, so that should be good enough.

[Firespearxxx]

ummmmm, it really doesn't matter when u get to the missions later on it more then well pays for it mines somewhere around 59,000 but i have like 480,000

[Whyaken]

Using a chopper

When you say "everything important", I don't think that's strictly true, since it doesn't seem to save after every mission... Maybe it does and I just never notice >.<

[Cold Rival]

It does. It saves after every mission, every "date" with friends, after every hidden pigeon, stunt jump, everything that will affect the overall game play.

[TehAdz]

Ah, didn't know that, thanks for telling me, though :D

[Rolyatkcinmai]

I never die or get busted in GTA games, I always just reload if I do.

In Saints Row you basically had to reload because if you died they took hundreds of thousands.

whats the point in reloading, sort of a way of cheating if you like, why not just play the game normally lol? Its all part of the game getting busted and killed at the end of the day. Apologies if this is considered spam

[TehAdz]

I was kinda thinking that. I'm also kind of a stat whore, so I don't like losing my miles travelled / time played stats.

I need those Liberty City Marathon certificates. I'll be so happy if I can get a full set xD


But, anyway, I've kinda got into a routine of saving every ten minutes, and it's your fault, whoever told me to save more.

[Kevin J]

healthcare prices do bug me tons, I have been using helicopters to get on skyscrapers, and than jumping off... just for pure fun, were most my money goes.

I have to admit, it's worth a few grand to see Niko splat on the floor. Me and a few friends all tried to land on top of the Empire State Building (Forget what 'tis called in-game), and then we all jumped off at the same time.

It was made more fun by the fact that we didn't lose any money.

[Xbob]

LoL, Ive got near a million bucks so I'm glad to donate it to the hospital since I can't spend it on houses or cars or whatever I was able to spend my money on in San Andreas..... Now it's just weapons, dates and health care....

Woah, you seriously got that much money? How? xD

[Ashz0r]

Woah, you seriously got that much money? How? xD

Im on about 850k, just builds up from doing the story missons..
+ guns and armour are cheap, i just buy the ak47 only costs $80 for 30 rounds and the armour is only $500.

I guess mine would build up too if I didn't die so much :p

I don't buy armour or weapons though, I get enough ammo by killing people, and if I need armour I just go and find some.

[RPDfire]

I've died about only 5 times and my bill is $1,000 top. U must be really bad at this game or play alot.

[TehAdz]

Dieing a lot doesn't make me bad at the game. If I wanted too, I could've not done any fun stuff, and I'd be a lot richer at this point.
But, in my opinion, fun > looking cool.

[StumpyFlesh]

Why wouldn't you reload?? You lose so much money and all your weapons...why would you let that happen? If you die, reload the auto save.

[TehAdz]

Ehh, I've said I few reasons why. I died awhile ago, and the last auto save was over an hour ago...

[PB74 2ON4]

yeah all together i have made 913000 and 319000 is spent on healthcare

[TehAdz]

Wow. That's a lot of deaths, do you know how many times you've died?

[Xerofox]

I got 550K total and 260K spend on Healthcare, I rather jump down a high building than to backtrace my steps. 57 Deaths btw.

[TehAdz]

57 deaths and you've lost 270k?

I've lost $40,000, and I've been killed 53 times, not sure if it means I died when it says I've been roadkill 11 times.

[Bl0ss0m]

I have died a total of 19 times since my last save which was a few hours ago, I have spent $151,366 in healthcare fees but I currently have $1,137,688.

[fresh fish 101]

It does. It saves after every mission, every "date" with friends, after every hidden pigeon, stunt jump, everything that will affect the overall game play.

it should save after you pick up armor or fill ur health, or pick up more ammo or new guns, etc. then it would be complete.

[MA91CMAN]

That's horrible >.<

[Colossus033]

it annoys the crap out of me, ive spent 107,000 on friggen health care bills. ahhhhhh....

[Tussell]

Yeah, I just checked... I've only spend $326 on it... I've done 25.10% of the game and have played for 12:32:46. So I think that's a pretty low amount for health care..

[Dothis]

It doesn't bother my any, as they have been in every one I've ever played (3-4). I'm just glad I get to keep my weapons this time.

[TooMuchCowbell]

They should have some sort of mini-game where you could heal yourself. Like Terminator or Jason Bourne style where you have to take out the bullet and seal up the wound. That would've been even more realistic.

[TehAdz]

They should have some sort of mini-game where you could heal yourself.

Ehhh, too much hassle, doesn't really fit in with the game...

I'm just glad I get to keep my weapons this time.

Yeah, that's why I prefer to die rather than get arrested...

Yeah, I just checked... I've only spend $326 on it...

Is that like one death or something? o_O

it should save after you pick up armor or fill ur health, or pick up more ammo or new guns, etc. then it would be complete.

Hmm, I don't think it could, if you did that, during a firefight it would be saving every few seconds, which would ultimately kill the game.
