Added DiffLines:
** ''GTAV'' takes this premise and runs with it - not only are there several heists in the game, each one has a variety of missions associated with it to prepare for said heist. For example, when the team plans to rob a jewelry store, they send in a guy to case the joint and take pictures of the various security systems. Once they have the pictures, the player has to make a decision on whether to go in "loud and dumb" with guns blazing, or recruit a hacker and steal some knockout gas, an exterminator's van, and dress up as exterminators so that people won't question their gas masks. You also need to hire a crew to help you with the support stuff - the more competent they are, the bigger take they demand. And finally, after all that, comes the heist itself.
Added DiffLines:
** ''PAYDAY2'' ups the ante to ridiclous levels. One mission involves framing a senator, and takes three days - the first involves breaking into an art museum and stealing some paintings, the second has your team selling them to the senator's underlings for [[ThiefBag bags of cash]], and the last day features breaking into the senator's penthouse and planting drugs with the aid of cameras hidden inside said paintings. These thefts can either go smooth as silk by subduing the few guards originally at each location with stealth, or turn into an all-out gunfight over all three days - which may involve intermissions where your getaway vehicle gets disabled and you have to hold your ground (and your loot) while your coordinator gets another escape vehicle ready.
