Actually that's the only thing that makes any sense to me: They're throwing GTAO under the bus while RDR2 is finished and released.

They should have abandoned it after Doomsday at the very latest. That would have been the ideal place to stop everything.

If they shifted their focus last year, they would have been 1 year closer to completing other projects like a sequel to Bully or GTA 6, for that matter.

They technically did.

The last two updates were essentially filler.

 

They have different teams working on each, I believe.

They probably temporarily moved all the experienced people from the GTAO team to RDR2 until it's done.

To be honest, every update since Heists has been filler. They've all tried to outdo the previous one by adding more weaponized stuff. Heists made it all so expensive, really.

Doomsday was the perfect update to signify the end of "major" GTAO updates.

We got heists which were neutered and vehicles that told us R* had completely gone insane...makes perfect sense for it to be the end.

Just me who thought the actual 'story' of Doomsday was shockingly terrible?

That's a broad view of it.

I would say DDH, because at least SOME OF the updates after Heists added meaningful content or mechanics.

 

I love vehicles, and I liked the vehicles SSASSS added (looks-wise)... but there was nothing of substantial value in it. Same with After Hours because what should have been meaningful content ended up being slapdash attempts or just... awful.

I feel kinda sick knowing this was originally story DLC most likely created way back in 2013.

Didn't feel like it, if I'm honest.

Took one look at Avon and thought...YEP. He's the bad guy. Called it.

I always thought he was a robot or an android...he doesn't actually speak like a regular human being. More like an internet enabled toaster.

I heard they had another idea for a heist where Michael and Trevor pretend to be gay lovers to scope out a place. Didn't get that, though, did we?

No idea but originally it was believed Dooms Day Heist that we finally got was for a Trevor Story DLC. There was a mention of the A.I 'Clifford' for example way back in 2015 from data miners who looked at the files. Kinda weird if true that Rockstar created a lot of these so long ago and are now releasing it the way they have.

Would have been nice if they asked us to vote on different ideas we wanted for DLC instead of leaving it on the cutting room floor or butchering it years later.

So i read the dripfeeding page and there is one that triggers me alot

 

"list of vehicles will be avalable for sale from dealers"

 

One of them is the hearse

A f*ckING HEARSE??? 

So after all this years players requsting for hearse spawns and thus making it a very rare collectable car and rockstar decide to just make it AVALABLE???

Rockstar hang out in nightclubs in London, its where they did the research and met the DJ's.  One of the DJ's talked all about it on Pete Tongs BBC radio show last Friday night.

Thanks for raising my hopes then dashing them M*

 

Why can't you just let us customise the bog standard Speedo?

It is passive income and you can consolidate all your businesses.

The Club makes money no matter what you are doing, all you need to do is buy the businesses and hook them upto your Nightclub. You never have to do anything else with the Businesses if you dont want to.

Since it literally costs more to run an upgraded bunker per day than it makes through the nightclub in the same time, it definitely is not passive income... for me at least. In other words, doing this loses me money because my business is upgraded (I'd guess similar logic applies to upgraded MC businesses too) -although in the case of the CEO cargo is genuinely is passive income because you don't have the same massive daily fees offsetting it (I think...).

 

If I understand correctly, the nightclub business incomes don't scale based on business upgrades, so if the daily fees are low enough for businesses without upgrades, then it makes sense to just let them idle. 

 

I also fail to see how the nightclub is passive income when you need to run missions to keep its pupularity up to make money off it? I'm not saying it's not a low amount of effort for the return, just that it isn't passive income because you still have to actually put gameplay into it (I'm comparing to the properties in singleplayer, which you buy and then collect weekly money from without having to do missions to restock them)

 

As another aside, has anyone had their nightclub raided yet? I'm assuming it's a thing since there is a security upgrade.

[LennyGhoul]

If everything the night club is selling is "legit" then why would it get raided?

English dave can pick up his own friends next time. That helicopter is a buggy POS and you have to precision land it in a tiny circle and then fly lower then some of the trees and powerlines or his friends freak out. Also every time you try and land the POS it flips over. Thanks for Nothing. Give me my $350k R*!

Speaking of Bully, fun fact: for some reason they named it Canis Canem in the UK...why? I have no clue.

I think the reasoning was that the term “bully” is a negative word, and people would think it’d be a Columbine Massacre simulator, which was also what Jack Thompson called it (without having played it - But let’s not have educated arguments - If you don’t know him, look him up. He was crusading against R* about 10 years ago - A real assramming f*cktard).

So it was renamed Canis Canem Edit, which translates into Dog Eat Dog..... A fitting title too. It was a great game.

Nightclubs are terrible money makers per hour, just terrible.

 

And the Speedo Custom, Mule Custom and Pounder are SPECIAL PERSONAL VEHICLES!

 

This means that you can only use them in freemode and they have that ridiculous 5 minutes cooldown after using.

 

FFS!!!

after five years with the xth update and three shiploads of patches, this gate on Caesar's Place still won't open.

 

imo it's one of the best driveways in the game and would be perfect for roleplaying or taking snaps from cars.

 

Please, Mr. R*, OPEN THAT GATE.

 

 

[bigraj]

Rockstar broke my Akula's homing missiles.  Damn, I had really grown to love that thing for Headhunter, and now have to go back to the inferior Buzzard.  Fix my missiles!

 

So much for "consolidating" all my businesses.  I was looking forward to at least re-supplying my MC Businesses from the club so I would have to travel all over the map.  

 

Nice new array of (ridiculously priced) jackets and a few shoes, but is that all?  Would have liked a lot more options/styles to chose from.

[hotrats773]

As a multimillionaire with a CEO office in Maze Tower, fully upgraded bunker, facility, MC businesses, full I/E stock, popular nightclub with nearly full stock, crack security and staff, I really do appreciate having to run around town with my stapler and tacking up posters to promote my place. If only there were some system where one could exchange cash with grunts to do the sh*tty work. #JustADreamer

 

Edit: Dripfeed update: Now you have to do it all on a rusty BMX while being chased by Akulas and Deluxos.

Why are there only three types of interiors, four types of lighting, and, what, 9 names? And why are interiors and lighting rigs listed from cheapest to most expensive?  They should all be the same price, and they should have been more diverse. Otherwise every little tryhard is gonna go for the most expensive option, and everybody’s clubs will look the same!

 

The point of having a club, for me, is that no one else has a club in the same spot, and that when you get inside, it’s a different looking place from all the rest.

[Boozey St John]

Nightclubs should have been one of the first dlcs for online. After all the military updates/DDH, this one just seems... Meh.
