I feel you. I just can't do heists with strangers without failing at least once, we aren't able to coordinate. Playing with your friends is much more enjoyable and less stressful, that's the best way to make money.The most money can be made by making the right decisions during heists, and then properly investing that money after the game is done into the assassination missions (offered by Lester). I managed to make billions this way.
As for Online, I usually try to do heists with friends (it's impossible with strangers), or play Deathmatches and 32 player races.
No, not really. Heists are the way to go, you can also do them with your friends so that you coordinate well and finish the heists faster. You get a lot of money from those.Is making money on the online version really as hard as what is being implied?
It's putting me off wanting to go through the online storyline and just use online for fooling around, that and racing.
I doubt I'll be playing online for a while at least.No, not really. Heists are the way to go, you can also do them with your friends so that you coordinate well and finish the heists faster. You get a lot of money from those.
