Is 1.16 a fail?

[marco6158]

Prices of new content are too high, especially for the Swift it costs too much. I can afford Coquette and Vesra but I won't buy them as they aren't very needed to me, I already have the Maillard. I like the Mil-Jet, but It costs too much = can't afford.

 

I'd prefer to have cars in updates unless of planes even if I like them, because they costs too much. But it seems that Rockstar "don't have money".

[sultangris]

It was a fail ONLY because of incorrect speculations made by fans and hype.

partially, but technically every update so far has been a fail cause for everything they half fix they break 2 more things and ever since 1.10 theyve gotten worse and worse each time. this one did fix some stuff but looks like it might have brought the random freezing for no apparent reason issue back to life, however ill take that any day over the constant lag problem that replaced the freezing in 1.13, that lag sh*t makes the game unplayable doesnt affect all players equally, some people cant switch weapons quickly or roll and need 4X as many bullet to the head to kill someone while others in the same lobby werent affected at all and it totally sucked when you had that problem, which i did more and more often ever since then to the point that 1.15 made me have it pretty much constantly and more severe than it ever was in 1.13 where it was light and random. It seems thats fixed back to 1.13 levels at least, which is far more playable and doesnt seem to happen as often.

I failed to see this in the patch notes.

what does that mean? you got stats for stuff they did? or your tires pop if they shoot someone elses? dont really make any sense, lol

[Biggie Kaniff]

its a fail because I lost all my plates.

I'm dissapointed with the update because R* had over two months to add some additions. Instead we get a glorified Coquette that costs as much as a Cheetah...

[Pyramid_Head]

This is the first update that I actually hate. Not including the Coquette Classic, everything in this update was boring. Only 1 flight suit and 2 head pieces was very disappointing and the overall lack of items was disappointing. It was a free update so I'm not gonna bitch and moan, but this update was a complete fail. I hope the September update is early in the month so we can actually have new stuff to keep the game fun. This update will never keep me occupied for another month.

 

The new planes are not great and the lack of new clothes, tattoos, hairstyles, and weapons was very surprising and a major letdown. So I guess for a lot of people, the game is pretty much still lacking new content to make it worth while to play until the next update releases. So I'll play more just to cruise in the new Coquette but that is only going to last so long before I find myself going days without even thinking about playing.

 

So in the end, we will have another update within a month from now (hopefully sooner than later) and then we can have another chance of getting a decent update to keep us entertained.

[Kohr-Ah]

I love the flight suit, the flight school missions were pretty good IMO, never cared about the Coquette in the first place, and I'm saving for the milijet. Which is now a probable thing to get since the mission payouts were changed (I can't stand grinding the same missions over and over...bleh).

 

 

All in all, a good update. Albeit I am disappointed there isn't a Hydra/Hunter/Jet that can land on water. But...meh. At least the bugs were fixed (although I'm sure more were added *cough* disappearing musket *cough*).

youre gonna be disappointed a lot then if you dont plan on getting the game on PS4 or PC, cause the PS3 version is done, its never going to get the stuff that will be on the new one and id be very surprised if it gets anything at all after the new one is released. The ps3 isnt powerful enough and they simply cant make it work right, thats why they aret fixing stuff quicker or adding much of anything else and why we havent got heists yet and never will on ps3 version, they are putting all their time into the new version.

[grand theft spaghetti]

called it last night.

 

we cant trust rockstar. they have a history of showing us things that aren't actually in the game.

the one thing you can count on is the game turning into a freeze fest with every new update.

i wish my musket would disappear permanently, i get more kills using it as a club than firing the slow reloading piece of sh*t, lol

The subsection "Crimes," under "Stats," records instances of "Tires Shot Out," presumably by your character.

 

It does, but it also erroneously records tires shot out by other players.

 

So, say that you're in a public lobby with a newly created character, and you're just hanging in your garage. There's activity going on outside, and someone decides to shoot out the tires of a vehicle (another player's, some random NPC's or even a parked vehicle).

 

Check your stats, as you will have incurred those tires that have been shot out.

 

A support ticket was submitted by yours truly a few months ago, bringing this to the attention of Rockstar's developers. They acknowledged this gameplay flaw, but could not give a definitive time frame as to when a fix would be in place. Tech support, of course, mishandled the thing, and after three updates, they still have yet to address this issue.

 

Oh, but my support ticket has been marked as "resolved," and subsequently "closed."

Agreed. I plan on getting it on PS4 though . But hey, it's free, so I shouldn't complain lol

ah right on, however id say they have about 10 billion far more important things to fix before they waste time on a meaningless stat going up without you "earning" it, and yea they have a habbit of marking things resolved and closing them when they cant fix it and dont have a f*cking clue why it happens in the first place, lol

[E•MO•TION]

I can't say I'm disappointed. The past ten months or so have taught me not to expect anything worthwhile from R*.

[edub1906]

As long as that freakin' dumbazz blue car compactor never shows up in my garage again this update is a damm success

[NightProwler]

[Kaiju Blue]

Hmm let me see.

 

New planes? Yup

New car? Yes

Glitch fixes (which everyone wanted)? Yuup. Thank god.

New missions? Also yes.

 

Seems to me like the update did what it promised. Some of you people just overanalyzed the trailer like:

 

"Omg! Guys with six-packs! Body type changing CONFIRMED!!" Or with dogtags or such. Apparently not having those things rockstar didnt promise is a deal breaker for some? Tough.

 

Don't even get me started on the hydra. R* never even MENTIONED it and some people feel cheated out of it for some reason.

 

So no IMO it wasnt a fail. It did what it had to.

[Dan_Houser_Official]

Constant freezing

 

Ridiculously priced helis and planes

 

No new guns

 

Car thats really expensive when it isnt that good

 

 

sh*ttest update ever

Agreed.

 

The issues that I have are with the developers/testers not catching such a simple gameplay flaw during developing/testing, and the mishandling of the support ticket.

 

Shall I open another ticket about my support ticket?

 

That was rhetorical, as the obvious answer is "YES."

[da_illest101]

To be honnest the last three updates were fail for me. I have yet to try this one since I have to go to work, but really, I don't see any exciting content .

[NightProwler]

To be honest the last three updates were fail for me.

Couldn't agree more.

[Alec Skorpio]

After going through flight school...I don't know...

 

I don't want to say it is a fail, because they actually added new content instead of simply reskinning some t-shirt models and giving us another super car.

On the other, we still don't have the Hunter.

 

At least they fixed some exploits I guess

[Ton 1 NL]

This is getting ridiculous. The last few updates really suck. There is nothing to do in this game.

[cleaverov]

From the reaction to this dlc i can definitely see why Rockstar never usually announces it, there was so much speculation over the smallest things in the trailer, was always going to end in disappointment!

[Alec Skorpio]

The problem is that every update feels like wasted resources from heists.

[tonko]

Sadly yes, i think this i the worst update yet

[BatFerYou]

You can please some people some of the time.

You can't please all people all the time.

You'll never please a gtaforum user, ever.

[Zito]

another over hype off the video

[zapotist]

I started my PS3, downloaded the DLC. Got online, it frooze of course. rebooted the system. played for 30-40min then it frooze again. and i said fck it. the car looked nice, but im not getting rid of any other car for it. outfit was ok too. thats it. rest of it combined with freezing issue, makes me say nope and back to PS4 and BF4 instead. thinking about selling my copy of GTA. the last few DLC's have been so bad imo.
