[Duckdude001]

Stunt plane lovers are gunna love this one. Im ok with my mallard.

[Semaj 2JZ♢]

Underwhelming as usual. May just finally complete the last 2 research projects I've been putting off and start selling my 'guns' instead of paying for them, tho...

[DarkFlame588]

Eh. At least the Savage is finally on sale for once.

[Mrnrfan182]

Is it me or does the Howard just constantly try and put itself into the ground? It can't fly straight, just keeps nose diving. I'm not buying that sh*t, my mallard is just fine.

 

Also...taking the week off, these bonuses are weak.

[EggsAndJam]

[Stupidis]

Pos plane. Bought the Savage though and probably going to buy the bike as well. Just to fill the mc garage.

Still not doing Bombushka missions.

 

Want the Nokota. Want the Pyro. Want the Hunter.

[Pedinhuh]

Lame plane.

 

No new adversary mode (thank God).

 

Premium race and time trial are interesting.

 

I have been thinking about getting a Lectro for some time, is it true that now I can use the KERS boost in all races?

[kovaandr]

At least the Bunker and Biker business are sped up again.

[-LN-]

The Howard is an attractive piece of aerocraft, but when it comes to the discounted merchandise, do R* executives throw darts at a random list while blindfolded to make their final decision? The Lectro? RE-7B? Odd choices and those who wanted them likely have owned them for over a year now.

 

Also, another week of double RP/$$ for Bombushka Run? *sigh* There aren't enough decent drugs widely available to make that even remotely enjoyable - especially with randoms.

 

Yeah, yeah, I know I'm being such a bitch and moaning, but I tried that god-forsaken, poorly executed, clusterf*ck of an Adversary Mode for the first time yesterday and have no desire to torment myself like that ever again. It's a shame too; the idea is pretty simple and could actually be decent and enjoyable, but the end result is only good if you enjoy feeling those gripping moments of frustration or want to bore yourself into a full-on coma.

 

Jesus. What happened to this game?

This game dies slowly week by week I find it harder and harder to find players to play with.. (PC and Xbox1)

"Biker Business Production and Bunker Research & Manufacturing will be running 25% faster than usual"

 

I always asked myself, will the supplies decrease faster too, or is it "more product per supply?"

[the nameless]

Why don't they just say from the start "2 weeks double rp and cash on the new adversary mode" when it comes out? Surely nobody believes they're making a last minute decision if the mode is "well received".

 

As for the plane, I've been waiting for it since the first hangar resupply with it.

 

Biker product going up quicker is nice, especially since my supplies are locked at full. I might consider a move to zancudo now, a few friends have it and don't seem to notice to much hassle in terms of other players.

Yeah the supplies decrease faster. You'll get the same amount of weapons from a bar of supplies but you'll get them faster.

[Lupo-Akane]

They suck big time when it comes to events.....they could have given us x2 on survials and made a lot of happy peeps but no let's give x2 on crap AM's like we always do..

[Blaquerayne]

Another dead week. I'll take a look at the bikes and car on sale, I don't think I own any of them (I may have the Nightblade, I know I don't have the other two.) After that, it's back to Saint's Row 3 and Sleeping Dogs.

[wei wei]

... no new cars, clothes, or hairstyles? INCONCEIVABLE!

It wouldn't be as bad if they chose a halfway decent Adversary Mode, but that's the thing, there are just too many of them; it's an issue of quantity versus quality. Offering double money is the only way to get most people even remotely interested in joining them; once the promo ends, they lie mostly dormant, neglected, or completely forgotten entirely.

 

This particular one has some of the lowest ratings imaginable, the vast majority of players quit during the first round when I played last night. What makes them think that extending the promo for another week is going to help. It's just sheer laziness on their part.

[ash-274]

The Howard is fun to fly, despite it trying to kill you if given half a chance.

It’s the second-cheapest aircraft in the update.

 

As for the discounts this week: “meh”

I’ve done enough Bombushka Run to last me forever

Not even a shirt.

[AUScowboy]

Love the Howard. Funny how people expect R* to make it easy for them to get money, how utterly naive can you be? Do some of you really expect double cash on something for each event? Yeah, that's silly.

[Jenkiiii]

Not good, folks.

If you're an aircraft collector then the Howard will be a decent addition to your hangar, but then what?

 

Props to Rockstar, I suppose, for making an effort every week and changing some in-game variables, but the run up to Halloween is so predictable and any amount of discounts, events or other goodies can't disguise the reality that we're mostly done and dusted with Smuggler's Run, and waiting for the next major update.

[General_Z]

Another dead week. I'll take a look at the bikes and car on sale, I don't think I own any of them (I may have the Nightblade, I know I don't have the other two.) After that, it's back to Saint's Row 3 and Sleeping Dogs.

Saints row 3??? not saints row 2 ???? f*cking blasphemy ! saints row 3 is sh*t n you should feel bad about playing it over 2, which in my opinion is better than san andreas and thats my favorite GTA

Edited September 26, 2017 by General_Z

[EkaSwede]

Hmm, a hangar was given a discount, but not the FZ hangar I was having in mind.

 

Extra production speed is nice, though. Shame only my meth has infinite supplies.

[MisFit-138]

Bombushka Run again?

I agree 100%, Saints Row 2 is the best game in the series and I would be playing it if I could. However it's not backwards compatible on the Xbox one and I no longer have a 360. Saints Row 3 isn't a great game but it's decent, it's far better than that crap called Saints Row 4.

[APB]

Yawn, no reason to return this week too.

[DangerZ0neX]

Continue to earn big with Bombushka Run.

[Sanches]

Is that you inside of cockpit on the poster?

I agree, but at this point, I'm awaiting a rogue asteroid or the second coming of Christ. I hate to be all gloom and doom, but you're absolutely right - it's like they've fired all of the original writers of a once really great TV series and are just dragging it out for an eternity in order to squeeze any last bit of money they possibly can from their consumers.

 

They'll always have the ones who will never speak up and openly embrace any direction the game or company happens to take, but for many of us, the horse has been beaten to a pulp and beyond - the initial feel and flow that once made the game unique and addictive are slowly but surely fading away into oblivion.

 

There will always be the ones who are quick to say, "don't like it, don't play it", etc etc, but if we didn't have such high expectations and appreciation for the original series, we wouldn't care so much and we wouldn't all be here wondering where it all went wrong or just how much worse it could possibly become before they reluctantly decide to pull the plug for good.

 

I don't think anything can be done to save Los Santos; it's become just slightly more than a beautiful map with a rather hideous, worn out, and empty soul.

 

Here's to GTA VI and the high hope that it doesn't start out like or eventually evolve into what this game has become.

[Pedinhuh]

...Can anyone tell me if I can use the KERS boost of the Lectro in races???
