There's absolutely no point in playing the new missions

[dankJay]

Doesn't anyone just play for the fun factor of it anymore? I'm going to date myself, but I remember the days of playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES...run out of lives, start all over...turn the system off, start all over...It never stopped me from playing it over and over and over and over.

 

Aim for fun and you will never lose...

 

How do I rate this update...? 10/10. It not only allows gives me more to do, but it also enhances all the other game modes.

The difference is, in mario...there was an ending...a final level, a final 'boss' ....you could beat the game. GTAO doesnt end...so the fun in it, at least for me, is making money so i can buy stuff to kill the other players more easily and destructively

 

That being said, while i think the missions are ridiculously undervalued ay 10k...i wont complain about the update as a whole...adds another element to the game.

Rockstar need to hire gamers as their playtesters instead of accountants.

Well we all know that isn't going to happen.

The main focus of this game is progression, if you bought such an expensive property to start a business you would expect to get a good amount of money with hard work. Smuggler's run however doesn't give you sh*t after working really hard

 

Lot of people here have been asking for more "fun" content instead of more grinding updates but Rockstar doesn't care about missions, deathmatches or any of that stuff anymore so nowadays unless they actually release a balanced adversary mode or you're a fan of stunt races you're basically f*cked and you gotta keep grinding or end up becoming a griefer.

 

These missions are really fun but they're not a money maker

[Kaber]

Isn't there something about stacking the same type of cargo for a payout bonus above the normal rate.

 

Also, stealing and or destroying other players smuggler cargo is supposed to increase worth.

 

I don't know how either of those functions work but I'm sure a week from now we will have a better understanding.

 

Edit: I like the missions and they are good pilot training.

I've only solo'd the missions to get a crate. If I have an associate do I then get 2 crates? Is the amount of crates dependent on how many associates or biker buds I have. If that's the case then it can be somewhat profitable.

[xCarlaP_x]

I enjoy the new missions.

Doesnt really matter to me what the payout is.

Same. Not that fussed about payouts.

[Gremlin Sombra]

Yeah, they are not so great. Been doing them so i can get the trade discounts. Done 33 of them. Gonna work my way to 42 because that's what everyone is saying you need for the hunter.

 

After that i probably won't touch them anymore. There are way more fun missions to do.

[ALLWORLD19]

(the next update wont, it doesn't sound like my cup of tea at all).

 

the next update? which is what?

[Don Maximus Meridius]

Missions are fun, I like all of them, But after unlock all discounts its over, we need to keep making money for new content, they should give at least 3 crate units per solo mission (30k) to be minimum profitable.

If prices of content were not so inflated and payouts of jobs were fair people would have more fun.

[AllNighter1]

I haven't played any of the new SR DLC, however, reading the posts on this thread leads me to believe that a lot of people are missing the a key point with SR.

 

I think SR is more of a supplemental DLC, another means to make money AFTER the previous DLCs.

 

Meaning, don't play the SR content alone to make money to buy the planes and warehouses.

It should probably be played in conjunction with the rest of the game as a means to have a business empire spread out in our criminal portfolio.

My play style is mixing up VIP work, I/E, Heists and some contact missions.

That way the "grind" is less pronounced and I still make a nice chunk of change.

Yes this game makes you work (just like real life lol) or you can spend cash to play

 

I mean, unless playing GTA pays my bills, what's the rush to own everything in the new DLC?

I saw some post about a 5% bonus at 5 crates of same type, 10% at 10, and so on... but, ive got 6 medical crates...and sell value shows 60k. Perhaps if i click the sell confirm button or the bonus shows up after delivery...but havent sold anything yet.

[mrfonzius]

Well not destroying but stealing increases the value of yours, because you put it in your hangar.

 

Was only able to complete one sale for far. But it was a nice one with the Western Seabreeze plane, just doing some loopings to outmanouver the dumb AI jets.

Don't think I'll bother with it once I've unlocked trade prices. It's nice to have some new Aircraft & all that but it already feels like a chore doing steal missions and your better off using either the Hydra or Buzzard instead of the one's they supply for you. I do like that stubby nose Fighter Jet though (can't think of the name right now) but after R* butt f*cked me of 8 mill of legit money I'm finding it hard to enjoy this new update.

And Mario Bros. is a simple arcade game that takes an hour to complete. (Don't get me wrong, though. I still have my NES and still enjoying playing Mario and Super C. I have both down to muscle memory.) Imagine if every time you wanted to play Mario, you had to grind through 20 hours of minigame where you jump from a platform into a skiball like ring to get enough points to earn another life in Mario... That's GTA. Massive grind for little return.Man, don't get me started on the massive paywall that arcade games have. Every time I die I have to plug in more quarters to keep going. Could experience the full game experience by searching all of the levels for coins to get extra lives, but who has the time for all of that grind? I want to win the game now!

[delorianlazarus]

Every thing new is welcome !!

[Kaber]

I'm just filling my hanger with random solo runs so I dunno how much what is what but I know it unlocks díscounts so I'm gonna fill the hanger full for at least that.

 

Also, Buzzard is best. Always.

[Chang]

Perhaps the incentive for spellings product will come later? Current incentive is getting trade price, perhaps later shortages of chemicals or others scenarios to sell product @ certain time or day of week could quadruple selling price?

 

This would lead nicely into breaking and entering homes for goods and 50% chance of finding a rare expensive item like diamonds?

 

Never cheated money, never grounded money I just role with the flow and earn as I go,....like that line in heat "I'm only in it for the juice"

 

With that said attempting to steal goods from other smugglers is the real juice and action, same as stealing I/E cars is the real adrenaline rush.

 

Many of marks hanging outside my I/E garage texting me all kinda insults after getting that sourced car grand theft auto'd. Text'em back...
