Does anybody know what this place is? Why are the Lost gang just casually hanging out here?

If only they knew.

[RyuNova]

Let's be serious for a moment, does anyone else think that Kenny is a rat/informant/three-letter-agency Agent?

 

I mean the guy comes out of nowhere (immediate red flag), has no rap sheet respite being a "criminal", admits that nothing exists on him (red flag he's actually a three-letter-agency Agent), has immediate connections in the City, has a "friend" who is picked up by the IAA (Hmmm?), in the UDR he mentions that hes does not want Internal Affairs involved (What kind of criminal even knows what Internal Affairs is let alone calls it that?) and his UDR contact is literally an FIB Agent who he speaks well of.

Another thing as well, if you kill him when dropping off the Recipe, he's replaced with a generic NPC and if you kill the FIB Agent at the end of the UDR she is replaced with Sessanta. Strange that it's scripted like that.

 

Personally, if they are going for the Fast and Furious vibe, I think he is going to be outed in a later DLC, which is why his model is replaced by generic Henchmen and Sessanta replaces his FIB "handler" as this will be triggered at a later date.

They are basically making him the Brian O'connor of GTA, he's not actually a dirty LS criminal, he's actually a high ranking FIB Undercover Agent.

It's scripted. That's a location for getting a disguise. You can open the back of the Slamvan and get a disguise. For a somewhat sneaky approach. Not the boom, boom, bang approach.

"These tacos!"

"We feel ya. Don't fight it! Let it all out..."

"Hey you! Back up! Here's nothing to see for you."

To add to this post as well, I get the feeling that his entire shtick is an elaborate plan to target the LS criminal underworld. Your character is the fall guy, he/him and Sessanta will disappear with immunity when the hammer drops, he's weeding his way in with Miguel who is a naive rich boy but with access to his father who is the actual target, your character is one of the biggest criminals in the city, all the Heists are against high level places or factions within the city. What better way to crush criminal empires than let the military and a PMC do it after the criminals piss them off.

Not just that, when on the UD job, Sessanta just accepts from KDJ that the contact to buy the gold is on the level, while it turns out to be an FIB woman. 

 

And when considering one of the drop offs is the lighthouse house, that's another 'hmmm' moment... Poor ol' Trevor was set up there and lucky to get away, lol. Maybe I'll come to regret having an office and clubhouse full of contraband, illegal guns underground, and drug labs/fake cash and documents scattered all over the place.

 

I'd laugh if it was all the case, and with E&E, R* pull a bit if a San Andreas on us and we get pinched and let back out when we transfer, minus lots of assets and cash, only to start again. A good way to flush out those millions made from our illegal activities.

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe R* would as the bad press from the outrage would be mega. But story-wise it could fit, and I'd not struggle if I was stripped of assets/cash to go again TBH (though i know many would strongly hate that, and I wouldn't blame them of course - Plus for those that bought cards over the years R* surely couldn't delete that cash. They don't upon wipes/resets IIRC, so makes no sense here as people wouldn't have done anything wrong to lose that).

 

It would make for interesting reading if it happened though.

And at one point when she rings him he clears the room, the people obviously listen to his commands, so we can assume they work for him but what kind of criminal orders his also criminal minions out of the room when talking about criminal stuff? But you know who does do that? A senior Agent clearing the room of Agents and Analysts who don't have clearance...

I could see them being "seized" as part of a story mode in the E&E, you don't lose them permanently, but you lose access to them until you have completed the story. A massive crackdown on organised crime where you need to rescue people like Madrazo, kill IAA and FIB Agents, take out Merryweather Commanders etc.

That sounds more ideal to br fair. I'd love the game to recognise the transfer by doing something story related as we move over. Would be pretty cool.

 

But yeah, Moodyman is very suspect. It'd be a nice change of pace to have a contact turn out to be a wrong'un. Plus it would make it better that Hao wasn't the contact, and that we call Sessanta regarding the contracts, allowing Moodyman to get killed/flee without impacting the phone or a character many liked in Hao. They could soon add dialogue files with E&E with Sessanta only on these jobs or something too.

 

Plus I'm sure given the reaction to the conversations from Moodyman, people would love to slap him up.

You basically get a "Welcome to GTAO E&E" title card and it's goes into a cutscene of you in The Vanilla Unicorn drunk but noticing you are being watched/something is off so you leave only to find your self on the business end of an IAA/FIB, Merryweather and Military joint sting operation.

 

You are then taken to a black site and hilariously remain silent during interrogation after which "Agent K" comes in, and its Kenny dressed in an FIB suit to tell you that all your assets have been seized, and you're going to spend a long time in a deep dark cell. Later Lester, who via a combination of his hacker skills, connections and Georgina, escaped the crack down, and he sends a team to rescue you from the black site which introduces some new characters.

 

The rest of the meat of the E&E updates revolves around you getting your empire back and establishing yourself as the biggest badass and "Godfather" of LS.

Lil' Dee takes Moodyman's place in the Contract missions.

Could be a big overarching story like the LeClerk one from RDO where new parts of it are added in Updates.

No f*ck off with even more restrictions, I don't want ANYTHING locked off it just ruins the f*cking game!

I f*cking hate how you're locked to the trashiest items to exist in GTA in the contracts while being forced to use a weaponless Honda civic or other sh*tty car -_-

I dont, I like, even for a moment, that we can get back to old school GTA. No flying bikes or laser guns, just fast cars and fast guns.

Does anyone think we will see E&E footage at the PlayStation event on Thursday?

[Shinra Exec]

I'm looking for advice on the best way to find a group of people with voicecomms for heists. I see there's this forum, reddit threads, discord channels, crews... but none of them seem to be able to provide me what I'm looking for so far. 

How do you find your heist crews and what do you recommend I focus on?

New footage of actual E&E? No. 

 

Upscaled PS4 footage showing off no new features? Probably.

You do what we all had to do, you just play the game until you find someone like you and you strike up a friendship with them and take it from there.

 

There is no magic well of cool people waiting for you to want to play with them.

[RyuNova]

R*, whatever magic, engine manipulation or trickery you need to do, we want a motorcycle with a sidecar. I don't care if it's classed as a car in engine, it has an invisible wheel ti trick the engine or whatever. We want one.

Nope lol

Bet we won't see anything until it's a week away, why are they acting so damn secretive?

I know several wizards who would steadfastly disagree. But thanks for the otherwise coherent reply.

Is there a way to check which stunt jumps you've done and which stunt jumps you haven't done? I've got 11 stunt jumps left to do.

You pick up the disguise there? I don't think it has much meaning, doesn't the game say they are at a bar?

I honestly have no idea. I'm usually doing these missions whilst listening to music, podcasts, live streams, etc., so I don't really pay attention. I just go to the yellow marker and do whatever needs to be done.

I picked up the disguise only once per character to unlock the outfits but I'm pretty sure the game says they are hanging out at a bar. But there is no meaning in it other than to get the disguise. I'm disappointed by the Lost outfits btw., it is just clothes that already exist but with a Lost logo, I hopened for the original outfits the Lost npcs wear.

I don't even see the point of a disguise. Just go in there, kill everyone, and get whatever needs to be gotten.
