I had a terrible thought.

What id we dont actually run the Club? And it is actually Tony's Fun House? He runs the club as a legitimate front while we get the space under the Club for our illicit activities...

Hes the front man and Host while we are the dogsbody and silent partner...exactly like Luis. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN!

I feel if this happened there would be quite a backlash, but I can also see it being a case of us putting 2 + 2 together and ending up with 7

But you cannot deny that that falls directly in line with what R* does with its updates. We dont control sh*t, we are just a dogsbody and financier.

Securoserve runs our Offices and I/E Warehouses. We are just an employee who does as we are told. Agent 14 runs our Bunkers, we just make guns that sells for a hundred times what he pays us. Ron runs the Hangers etc.

Yeah, the last one wasn't an issue. I had no room but for the few I had to research to see if I wanted them and make room.

 

This time, we get what looks like some real garage space. Though I'll be careful not to expect too much or go carte blanche on older vehicles I'd love back. I'm not looking at the secrets right away and gonna just have a bit of that old GTA spell where I just enjoy what's there and learn as I go. DDH was great for this. Like old heists, I look back at some of the places I died and failed, and some of them I just can't understand how I found it so tricky, lol.

 

This franchise and RDR have been awesome for me in this regard. I am an adventurous ol' sod, lol.

Yes KWF, totally feel where you're coming from. It's good to tackle them at your own pace and I also follow the "surprise me" perspective. The sense of wonder and not knowing what to expect can lead to some truly memorable moments and that fresh, untouched vibe to new DLC is hard to beat. It's like a new game again if only for the first few days. The less you know the more there is to find out. 

 

The new Garage space gives me hope that Rockstar actually does listen to our complaints sometimes. It's been a problem for me since Doomsday and it's honestly deterred me from a lot of new content. Every single vehicle released has to go through a prism of "are you really worth selling another car I already like and already fully upgraded" or "are you worth rearranging my garages for". Space is very limited and many cars don't make the cut. Now with the new spaces available I can take more chances and not put as much thought into the purchase.

All it will take is something like the Jester Classic being dripfed last, like R* did with the Hunter.

 

I'll be complaining, again, if something like that happens.

Exactly! This is looming and certainly will happen if and when folks get the full list of content that's dropping. I'm hoping the Jester Classic will debut soon, but it very well could be delayed. Plus, even if it's not that, there could be another highly favored auto or aircraft that's months deep in the dripfeed but fully known to all of us on Day 1. It's not an uncommon scenario and to be honest, I expect it to happen here too.

Also I dont have a picture (someone is welcome to post one for me) but the scene with the Rave Party Prison Skull Bus has anyone noticed the new truck on the left?

It looks like a Contender but the Contender does not have roll bars in the back of the bed.

I'm pretty certain it's just the Vapid Sadler.

Na I fully agree with that.. I know we've got to play the game ourselves but little things like re-supplying your MC businesses.. you'd think we could upgrade to where this auto-refills or at least we can do it from the phone / interaction menu.

 

My hope is that all of this will be resolved with the club DLC and it'll be a less 'hands on' way of making money, but with potential to make more money if you want to.

 

I doubt we'll get that though.

[-Travis+Bickle-]

before the trailer all were hyped about stuff, which is not confirmed...and now after the trailer all are complaining, and noone knows the full list of new stuff.

I just hope we can resupply our businesses from one single computer in the Club. I have used a large portion of my earnings from the last few weeks to upgrades my business empire where I can make profit from buying Supplies. Being able to buy Supplies for all my businesses with no travel would make this update great and the Club worth any price.

[Hector Tavares]

With the whole culmination of all the businesses, hopefully this means we'll be able to do special crates as an MC. It'd be even sweeter if they added an option to source 6 crates to accommodate the eight-player capacity of the motorcycle clubs.

Personally I'm hoping we can run our businesses from the nightclub without needing their separate buildings too. I'd love to sell my office off and help pay for the nightclub.

The first time I saw the cutscene and those juggernauts came in, wow! I was so pulled in at that moment, lol. Me and the guys I was with, just feel that moment come alive and the mic chatter grew substantially right there, lol. Of course, we soon started talking of the potential of those things finding their way elsewhere, and bang! That finale. That was a strong shoot out. (And a bit of a buggy mess at times, my only complaint over the whole DLC really, aside well.. Garages, lol).

 

And having since gotten comfortable enough to look further than that too, we had real challenges, and many of them come too. 3 CMM's and the elites. I asked a chap here if there was a possibility, turned out him and the 2 others are from the heist world record thread! Like bloody Christmas, lol. (I'm still to do CMM II, the trophy is called 'Masterminds' So I'd like that to be my last one, lol. So awaiting Tuesday before I consider that. I love this game, lol).

 

RE: Jester Classic/storage. Just to see that car pulled and both it, and garages featured well in the trailer is great news for us I feel. Of course, the amount of space is to be learned, but that adds to my hype this weekend, lol. (Well played R*). And the car featured too, as they really must know we knew it was coming and with the complaints is great to see something happening there. I do believe there is potential that the car could be not as good as folks hope (just hearsay here though), but again, Tuesday is the key. 

 

Gunrunning/Smuggler's era pushed me away, but once I saw that DDH trailer, I was back. The last DLC was just filler so all good really. But this one again see's me pretty stoked, if even for these few days, lol. Great potential though. If I get as much from this as DDH, and more with garage space coming, I'm absolutely gold.

 

Still want public balanced though, lol. Ha-Ha.

So for those interested in the Party Bus Location, my best guess is this, behind the YouTool Mega Hardware Store

 

 

 

See? Dem bushes don`t be floatin' =D

 

 

And when looking at the garage shown in the trailer, it makes me wonder - what's with the ramp seen in front of everthing - where that security camera is mounted. Now I know we won't be driving 'round that garage, so what's that for? Why not just the usual garage door as an exit? It reminds me of the facility setup, meaing our heavy duty delivery vehicles could be on one of the other floor(s) like B1 and you're able to walk up there. Just a thought

Or sell MC product as a CEO. Ghost Org is just so useful...

Thanks for the snaps, always nice to see this side to it all coming alive, lol. I do hope there's various spots too. as there's many grate little locations scattered out there. To see stuff 'far out' on islands even if we could 'bob something over, lol. Just fun, creative things like that. I know some groan having to travel for what they find tedious, but it would also help widen the map and spread us out. Make it feel bigger and more immersive/dynamic too for some.

That would destroy me. If I can't name my club Shadynasty's, Ima freak out. Lol

Even though I knew this DLC was coming, seeing that trailer has got me hyped.  The extra garage space makes me hope they'll  fix those handling flags on the newer cars though.    If not, I'll only be buying classics and weaponized vehicles, got to stay on top of the arms race. 

 

May even dust off my second character.  Much rather see her dance about than some ugly day one made character that needs a face tattoo just to look 'normal'. 

 

Not worried about how much it will cost as I've got enough to see me through to RDR2, just glad that I'll  have something to spend it on come Tues. 

[We Are Ninja]

I sincerely hope that the outdoor rave parties A.) Aren't just for the trailer (It's not like R* isn't above doing something like that), and B.) don't take place in free-roam where a jet can kill all attendees and destroy everything in one pass.

I don’t mind if there’s dripfeed tbh. If everything is released on Tuesday it’ll quickly lose its charm once I’ve bought all the stuff I want. Dripfeed+good weekly bonuses will keep me coming back.

I see where you're going and I have the same doubts. Seems a little too complicated, gameplay wise, to make your club "popular" whatever that means. It won't be now that R* change the formula: supply > production > sell.

At least you won't have coughing workers like in your bunker, with the bonus that you can choose the DJ in the cabin!

The good part is the new clothing, cars, garage space and run all businesses from one place!

Re: "Hub for your other businesses". I see the contents of Special Cargo and Smuggler's Run crates, a roll pallet with Counterfeit Cash on it, and a box full of Impotent Rage figures from the Coke lab. Possibly bin bags of weed too.

 

Also "XFM" on the Patriot Stretch licence plate...that would be a welcome addition to the radio stations. Stretch is also being followed by two Ruiners, remember the Ruiner Custom rumours? Still looks like the original though, with non-functioning semi-concealed pop up headlights.

 

This post adds nothing to the discussion.

^was hoping for Bahamas Mamas too to go with my Lombank West ... but the club in the trailer, at the start before it's customized, sure looks like a new empty warehouse or something. 

 

still possible i guess since they could just say BM got closed down and you're reopening but the way it looked I get the feeling there will be new warehouse locations and they'll all share the same model/floor plan...

I feel if you use some slight logic (i know gta lacks that) a nightclub would look like a warehouse considering no windows or anything inside yet. Can't really judge from the interior. That'd be nice if we were given the opportunity to actually buy the storefronts of said nightclubs.

 

I feel like this could be a little bit of a fun DLC minus all the grind considering they've added the business consolidation. It'll be nice to not fly all over the map anymore besides when its time to sell.

Bring back the dancing #danceislife

[EkaSwede]

I know I'm gonna sound like a Negative Nancy here, but what ways will r* tell other players to mess up someone's business this time?

 

"Organisation has launched a concert! Destroy it. Destroy destroy destroy for 100 rp and I dunno... 2000 moneys or something. BEEP BLEEEEP" and then the map becomes red and screams at you to destroy others fun.

Maybe we won’t be able to own Banana Mama’s but it will be open finally anyway. Maybe for a set up mission?

The only two words I'm worried about right now are drip and feed - no matter how coll the missions and locations all the stuff in it will either be unlockable after missions if this plays out like the doomsday heist - and the trailer seems it does, and if it doesn't and is just as mc businesses the drip feed will kill my soul

I do not understand all the hate for drip feed.  Would you prefer that what you get day one is all you get (then nothing till next update), or that RA creates extra stuff to release between updates?  I really feel like people have not thought this through enough.

I actually feel like it's somewhat likely to be something like this.  I seem to recall in the original announcement they talked about us being investors, not owners.  This would actually have one nice benefit - instead of them having to instance each club (the way they do with hangars, bunkers, apartments, etc. so that any number of players can "own" the same location), the clubs will be unique and if you invest in one, it will still be a single spot open to the public.  They would only have to instance the underground stuff for your business and vehicle storage.

 

Of course that does mean that customizing and naming the club would probably not be possible.  I assume customization of the underground portion would still be a thing though.

Was planning on taking Tuesday off but they told us this morning that hours are going up on account of some moving deadlines so I'm positive it'd be Request Denied 

 

Ah well, at least I'll have the benefit of a day's worth of info to inform my purchases after work.
