Is the theme of The High Life and Business Update too alike?

Add black shorts for females so I can have an all-black outfit finally.

Seriously the free dlc is not free don't keep on say hey it's free don't complaint.

They just cut the entire game in pieces and let you download piece by piece. Basically you paid the original price for a unfinished game, and then download the crap-like unfinished part which is stated as a "free dlc".

Don't be a fool. You always paid for any free sh*t. Free is just a marketing terms.

 

You are right that it isn't free, but they didn't sell us an incomplete game, the people that are buying the cash cards are funding the 'free DLC.' Zelnick (CEO of Take two) even admits this in his "Cash cards is a gift that keeps on giving" investor speech.

They should add some vehicles people in the high life actually own, if they are going to be calling it the high life update, (not the 'more sports cars' update):

 

These vehicles are pretty abhorrent, but at least it's not more boring cars:

 

Modified Mercedes Sprinter Vans:

 

Maybach:

[budcat]

The Maybach is so terrible. It's like a pair of dressed up la-z-boy recliners shoehorned into the back of an elongated mercedes cls. I can only imagine the idea was stolen from a Florida trailer park.

It's because both of these dlcs give Rockstar an excuse to sell expensive supercars and sports cars with expensive modifications, expensive clothes, and with the new high life dlc, new expensive apartments. With any other theme Rockstar can't sell such expensive items, unless it's some sort of classic car dlc since that's the only class of cars that are as expensive as supercars, or an aviation dlc where expensive places can be sold.

[GrandTheftBatman]

I'm sick of this whole "it's free" argument. If you abide by this, you have no horse in the race. Why even comment? You shouldn't care because "it's free". Now let the rational people who care about the time they spend playing a game just as much as a developer cares making it, discuss and give actual thoughts and ideas. We know they're "free". And all that means is I didn't pay for it. It doesn't mean I want to waste time not getting quality or not having my feedback heard. It seems stupid to say "it's free." That's meaningless. People want quality things, no-one wants a pile of sh*t just because it's free. The attractiveness is in quality, not price. The attractiveness may sometimes justify and anchor price, but price is not what is generally looked at. You pay $60 per game. Your library probably costs more than your console. Why? Since you've selected what you felt where quality games. You don't see people downloading every FTP game since they're free.

 

 

TL;DR We know it's free. Shut the f*ck up.

The Dangerous Business pack was great.

I agree with this sentence. I wouldn't have my baby without it.

 

 

OT: Yeah, some variety in DLC themes would be nice, but no matter what the content of the DLC is, there's going to be someone who complains.

This guy AGAIN!?!

That's the seventeenth time I've seen a photo of that sh!tbucket :S

[Fraizer]

I would like to see more diversity in the updates. A military DLC, an off-road DLC, a muscle car DLC etc...

How does this image end up on nearly every thread regardless of topic? Damn, these forums are getting like the IGN comment section lol!

[Chekoloco]

FREE DLC.

Good god the IGN comment section makes me want to renounce any affiliation with gaming I've ever had. It's a true testament to how much I love them that I soldier on.

[LonerStoner97]

Its FREE. Nuff Said.

[PG.]

They're different. High life update is about weed and drugs and swag, Business update is about business, high end and class

[Biff73]

I don't give a damn so long as the new cars,apartments/mansions are up for sale

[TrevorsMom]

We dont need no hillbilly dlc

[bikerider1976]

I have a car that is chrome and orange. I love it. I won't post a photo in fear that it would have people hating it. LOL I have some friends that have their cars painted in ways that I think are ugly and they are like how hot it looks. I just bite my tongue and say yeah that's cool.

You post that car in every thread... stop dude.

[DiveGummi]

Everything in the high life update were cut from the business update

[eluaah]

Yes, but I liked the business dlc and this one seems pretty good as well so I'm not complaining... This luxury stuff and fast new cars is the kind of thing Rockstar seems to have a hard on for so I'm not too surprised

[chriiis125]

Pretty sure the High Life cars are in the files with the Business Update ones, so yeah, this is pretty much part 2 of that.

 

I'm not a huge fan of the theme (especially those cars) but to be fair, we don't know everything High Life will add yet.

[sweetbrother]

Meanwhile.....

 

Board meeting:

 

Rockstar and Take Two thinking:

 

Hey people have been glitching money. We need to sell more cash cards.

Lets put out the expensive theme DLC in hope that people will buy it and waste all their money so they can keep on playing, maybe they will buy Cash cards too.

 

(Take Two/ Rockstar Business employee):

So we did quite well with the Business DLC guys. Now for the high life DLC lets add more apartments for players to buy, people have been emailing us about that.

 

(Rockstar Developer):

Actually sir we had a lot of requests on top of that, aside from heists - for Mansions and other features...

 

(Take Two/ Rockstar Business employee):

lol Nonsense boy! Don't you know anything about gamers? WE GOTTA MILK THESE LOSERS DRY!! Just duplicate & add more apartments. And make them really expensive! Throw in some cars that we cut out before they'll like that.

 

(Rockstar Developer):

Duplicate?? Err...sir....we can easily make the interiors at least a little bit different. And we might wanna add some clothes sir.

 

(Take Two/ Rockstar Business employee):

Sigh...FINE! Yes make the clothes expensive, use the suits again and just change the color palette. If we're gonna release this.....heists, or whatever it is.... they damm sure are gonna spend some money before we just start giving it away!! Arghh the thought of giving these losers a good update for free with no profit makes me sick!!

 

(Rockstar Developer):

Sir don't you think...

 

(Take Two/ Rockstar Business employee):

Shut Up! Alright! lets post the news on news-wire. Good meeting guys

Is the theme of The High Life and Business Update too alike?

 

It seems like they both encroach on the same things. Even the cars exude the same message: Rich, urban, high class, etc. It gets boring with so much emphasis on the urban aspect of the game. Do you think they should start focusing on the rural areas in the next update? Obviously, alot of people love the Sandy Shores area, what do they have to lose? It feels like the High Life and Business Update could've been one release.

 

Who wants to buy Trevor's clothes?

 

I can barely stand the acid washed jeans in my character's closet.

[Q_Man]

Who cares about the theme lol. I'm just worried about the content. Call it whatever you want as long as I get 2 homes and heist. But anyways none of this will matter when watchdogs comes out.

[Lance_Vance89]

I don't care as long as they include a lot of cool suits in different colours and shirts. I hope we get some hawaiian shirts too but i guess we wont get it in this update.

[sweetbrother]

I don't care as long as they include a lot of cool suits in different colours and shirts.

 

lol see what I mean

[glass pipe]

 

 

 

Yes. I'm sick of R* just releasing content for rich people, it's obviously a cash card cash grab.

And don't say 'It's free shut up'

I would rather pay for a good DLC than get sh*t free ones, at least payed ones would add good content.

These free ones aren't adding much.

I would be happy with that argument if they're were payed DLC updates with good content.

Free does not mean good quality.

 

How is it made for rich people? There isn't enough content atm..... There is just no reason to be so poor you have to buy a cash card. Just my opinion though.

 

The very existence of cash cards changed the way they went about the whole thing.

 

Perhaps. That is just how games are going. It blew my mind when I seen you could buy credits for Gran Turismo even. Thing is though(and I don't mean to defend), it is not hard to get money in GTAO. It is suppose to take time to buy things.

Personally I think the money hacks n such, are what put a sour taste in every ones mouth. The game like most online games are meant to be a grind. Those who don't have time to grind like us adults, have the option to spend money. I don't see how that is a problem, seeing how there is no "pay to win". You can't buy an advantage in this game.

 

 

I really wish rockstar would add in more "gangsta" clothing. Seriously, there is only two fitted baseball caps. I wish they would take a step back from the business suit crap.

 

Perhaps you should play Saints Row. The era of "gansta" stuff is about gone from anything mainstream. It's not cool to have your pants down below your rear, talk with a lisp, throwin gangsigns, walking with a limp, starting and ending sentences with n*g*a, smokin all der ever der, slangin drugs and etc. No "normal" people take those people seriously.... Personally if this stuff was in the game it wouldn't bother me. I would just have more targets to blow up and laugh at.

 

Ok. Uhh im not asking for people to say n****a, or for crappy saints row. I would mainly like more clothesthat arent pork pie hats or skinny jeans or short shorts. Some fitted hats will not kill anyone. Also play story mode there is a bit of gangsta stuff. Not much but still. Thanks for your douchebag response buddy. (Adding like 3 fitted hats....would that seriously bother you???)

You may consider me an idiot for having my own thoughts and opinion but i am sorry its just the way i am. im not interested in dressing my char up with damn skinny jeans and fedoras.

[glass pipe]

The fact that you said that i just want to sag my pants and say n*g*** was what bugged me the most. All i said i wanted was extra othing not to say n***** and sag my pants on a video game. I dont sag my pants in real life either Or chant the word n*****.

[LazerGunFunk]

We need more casual clothes more baseball hats better looking hoodies that actually let you wear the hood different colored t-shirts that aren't V necks (seriously how is there not a plain white t-shirt) more than one pair of hi-top sneakers.

[The Lonesome Drifter]

Just give me a white version of the double buttoned jacket and I'll be over the moon

[Kampioen]

Yeah their themes are definately too much alike in my opinion, but I'm not gonna complain because we're getting multiple garages.
