The B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 3)

[VitoCorleone1992]

Is Simeon's car showroom open to the public? Idk, yesterday (or before that...) i was able to enter there. There's some npc's inside. Also, quite nice easter egg, the "employer of the month" have now Simeon's face. But then, another session, another day, i wasn't able to enter, tbf, me and some friends were blowed in the parking lot of Simeon's car showroom, maybe that did the game close the shop?

The jets have always been a more of an annoyance than the MKII douchestick , and IMO, they needed the nerf more than the MKII,   I am so tired of hearing the r/gtaonline echo chamber of saying, just use the boom boom sniper, maybe on PC its a piece of cake to take them out, but on console, not as easy, and if the pilot is really skilled, they can make it damn near impossible to land a few hits.  

I think I am  about 50/50 with taking them out with the boom boom ammo.

Edit, don't get me wrong, the MKII douchbags are very annoying too, but IMO they are bit easier to deal with compared to jets.

Sniper's not even an effective tool as there are so many points where the jet goes out of view, and then the jet comes back and kills you -_-

 

Plus y'know, it's locked behind lots of research. It was the fifth to last thing I unlocked, skipped all the research to get it back in the day

Jets are a lot bigger and they usually don't jerk off when flying those. Idk how shooting down mk2 is easier if you have problems hitting a jet. If it locks you down to some uncomfortable position then just heist teleport/job teleport/rc away.

Yup happened to me too a few days back. All doors unlocked and the glass at the front missing.

Probably the files acting up considering that it will be the 2nd showroom.

This initial release of "The Criminal Enterprises", as others have said, was rather anaemic.

 

I took my time with the new missions, failed a few times but still completed them in a couple of hours and took my appreciation to them. Next, I purchased the new vehicles, customized them to my liking and moved on.

 

Considering that the PC platform didn't get the E&E features and vehicles, that's about five to six months since February without new content - which is... not that great.

 

However, the things we got day one are to my liking and I really appreciate the QoL improvements. It's a solid foundation. Adding to this, I actually understand the need to dripfeed stuff so that there's a stream of new things to try out and buy as a DLC's life expires. I don't need everything all at once and like having something to look forward to every week in this game, which cannot be said for other titles like Halo Infinite, which is failing miserably in this regard.

 

A thing that I'd absolutely love to see repeated was what happened in between Gunrunning and Smuggler's Run: release the last bit of content for the former and then BAM!!, release the latter the immediate week after. No silence, no drought, no tumbleweeds rolling through the streets to the wind. Just a steady flow of content from one to the next big instalment.

 

That's when the concept of dripfeeding is at its strongest and makes the most sense.

Damn had some nerd crash my game because he couldnt kill me with mods (lol) but jokes on the pussy because I was planning to get off shortly he just helped me get off sooner 

[GAUNTLET HELLFIRE]

Got my biker businesses full for that first time bonus. Went to sell coke and got 3 Post Op vans so find new session, sell meth without a problem and then sold counterfeit cash and retired as MC as soon as I could but 30 seconds later got a call from LJT saying I am being raided when I'm not even registered aas an MC. Nothing was showing up on the map to actually do the raid, I couldn't register as a CEO and couldn't access the casino so I just had to find a new session. I don't know what happened to the business I'm assuming was coke because that is the only one that had product. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I have anything left.

 

Also 900k for meth is pretty good and should just be standard pay when you have to buy the supplies and then wait for it to be ready.

Likely the raid was queued up before you disbanded your MC and the game got confused.

 

I went to sell my Bunker the other day and got the two Insurgents, nice, and when I did the first drop the mission locked up and did not advance, so I had to quit and lost fifty grand worth of cargo.

Did you deliver second insurgent to the same checkpoint?

Yeah there are those "stealth" raids ever since casino heist update. Sometimes you don't even get a notification and find out about the raid when NC production glitches out or something.. If you do get notification it's actually possible to complete defence without objectives, but ofc you need to be aware of potential locations where NPCs might be placed, police van driving etc.

No, I drop one crate from the first Insurgent and the mission locked up, the location did not change, and it told me to enter a delivery vehicle despite me being in one that still had stock in the back.

It told you to enter delivery vehicle parked next to the bunker. That's how that sale works. You deliver all insurgents to the first checkpoint and only then NPCs spawn, then once again you deliver them all to the next CP (after killing NPCs) and so on.

f*ck that sh*t.

[Wurmy]

The update has been nice so far, although I think that a lot of the QOL stuff shouldn't have been tied to a dlc. These are things that should be the norm outside of dlc and not only happen every 6 months. Especially now that some things are broken, glitched or buggy now which weren't before, aren't gonna get fixed for at least another 6 months or never. Like the Faction hitbox for example. They really have to get their sh*t together in that regard.

 

For the rest of the dlc, I feel like they gonna drag out the dripfeed a lot with stuff planned for at least up to halloween or beyond. With that said, I think that things show in the trailer and marketing material for a dlc should be there on release date and not coming later with an unspecified date (looking at you 10F, M16 and more). It just gives the wrong impressions and makes things look half baked. They were better with this in the past, besides the slipups like the Tampa or Drift Tampa being shown early.

 

I also like that they are focusing more on community made content, although I am not sure how long that is gonna go on for. With their track record, I doubt it's gonna happen more than a handful of times. It's not helped by each console line and pc having separate jobs, races and so on. It's gonna make any community showcase a mess.

Because it looks like a smugglers plane...

 

I know the cartels got money, but I don't think they're flying F-18's over the border yet.

 

One thing all smugglers love is a stock POS cessna that can barely pull itself over some dead guy's arm on a beach

 

Thing should have JATO and nos

Its not about looks, R* intentionally chose the sh*ttiest plane for this to make it as annoying as possible. If it had any logic behind it, they would have chosen the Seaplane.

I wouldn't even know where to start looking. I only own biker businesses on the female character on my main and even when I use to use that character I ignored all raids and took the losses before I just started leaving them empty, my bunker never has enough stock to get raided, my crate warehouses have been empty since a month after they came out and my NC was raided once.

 

I thought I may as well just look now to see if I got f*cked on that raid and I did. My coke business was full minus whatever I lost changing sessions to aviod Post Op vans and I had full supplies but now it is empty and I have to set it up again. It was worth a million before that raid with the first time bonus. F*ck doing that again I'm just going to play on a different account tomorrow.

So is he still there in the ground or no? I asked earlier no one answered.

 

actually not sure.

the scenario file he was in, was not updated on PC, but could be it was on E&E.
no way of knowing unless someone still finds him ingame.

Movie DLC in December then?

Still think it's Doomsday part 2 (act 4 and 5)

 

-Theres space on the facility screen for 2 more acts

-This dlc is definitely leading into it

-Could by why we still don't have the cybertruck

-Vehicles could also include a personal "quadcopter" flying car, and possibly an exoskeleton/mech similar to the ballistic armor, and maybe that remote control juggernaut people mentioned

-They can reuse a lot of assets. At this point it seems with GTA 6 coming they don't want to go big on making a lot more last gen textures

-With all the ufo stuff the last couple years, that could tie in to doomsday in some way
