Shame, but you never know. The right amount of "bread" can change minds.

 

Trevor DLC with a new business, bounty hunter/ detective agency.  An assortment of business property locations, from seedy to high end.

 

I want a trailer/office on the beach like Jim Rockford.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I already have his car...

I think a DLC featuring Trevor is closer to "impossible" given Steven Ogg doesn't seem to be into games at all and doesn't even talk about GTA or R* anymore.

So weird but I was literally watching youtube earlier and an old spice ad/commercial that has Steven Ogg in it came on and i found it strange how he looks like hes getting ready to play trevor lol in terms of the way hes dressed and looks in the commercial.  I know this is a reach but maybe he has been working with R* lowkey alongside Ned and may be making a cameo for the Decmeber DLC. I mean he does get mentioned by the receptionist in the agency which means hes alive and kickin lol but who knows what they will do.

OK I'm a noob when it comes to tech stuff but why do you think haven't they updated hsw to PC yet.. do you think its more technical or do they want stuff hidden from the data miner's. Because on xbox this update was 12gb & definitely doesn't feel that  

It was a console exclusive.  I don’t think anything else should be read into it.  Eventually it will be on PC.

I wonder if that explains why Sprunk vs. eCola never happened, could have been waiting to release Junk Energy or originally intended to release it for Tuners?

I think there will be a Junk Energy Halloween related event because of that previous parachute bag from last summer and now there is this:

Money talks, if they pay enough, they get Trevor, Nico and CJ to sing an Opera together, and if they have money to put DrDre in the game, they can afford to have Ogg back. The question is, are they willing to?

Can’t begin to imagine how much the ticket on not just him but his UNRELEASED music debuted exclusively to gta cost them. Dre almost never drops new music

They only need Michael and Solomun for the neXt dlc.. The rest they can phone in.

Im just glad the next DLC is about Michael and not that "Artist" Rosalia. The Contract DLC story was such garbage, i hope if there is another celebrity DLC it's not a rapper, or a well for me unknown popstar i never heard of.

 

Sure if i would be a fan of rap and hip hop i would have liked The Contract, but i despise rap and hip hop with every fibre of my body.

 

Imagine how big the outrage would have been, if Corey Taylor (Slipknot) would have been the celebrity that lost his music, and we would have to retrieve it. Im pretty sure a lot of ppl also wouldn't have liked that, just like i don't like rap and hip hop a lot of ppl don't like metal.

 

I hope the next celebrity is something more neutral not a "musician" i mean we even were forced to listen to that crap, but first we get to enjoy the Michael DLC. That i don't mind at all, wondering what they will come up with that. Hopefully it's not Heist focused like so many times already. But i bet it will be a Heist again, and i will be pissed and dissapointed again.

[STNeish]

Well, here we go again.

 

So, I bought my CEO the Vehicle Warehouse, spent half my total cash on it.  Watched a few videos about it, seemed straightforward.  Source the car, drive to to the warehouse, sell it by driving it to a buyer.

 

So the first mission, which seemed scripted, was just fine, no problems.  Got the car by sneaking in, stealth killing the guards with a knife (since it wouldn't let me disable my custom weapon loadout to get access to a silenced pistol), got the keys, drove to the warehouse, no worries.  Then I went to sell it, and EVERY SINGLE CAR on the road started turning into me if I tried to go past.  They were even changing lanes, driving into oncoming traffic to try and hit me.  They were driving up on the SIDEWALKS trying to hit me.  Then there were the armoured cars carrying armies of gunmen that were somehow able to keep UP with my speeding supercar with the pedal to the floor.  The guys in the videos I watched all sold their cars in perfect condition... and I have NO idea how they could possibly do that with hundreds of civilians driving out of their way to try and damage the car and endless armies of bad guys shooting at it continuously.

 

Second one, I had to steal it from a movie set, stealth killing the guards, who are all watching each other, so naturally, there was NO way to kill them.  Jump the car through the ring, it flips end over end and crashes, immediately damaged for around $3k.  Before I can even get it flipped over two armoured cars and a helicopter appear.  Before I've reached the road, it's up to $6k damage done to the car.  The helicopter then continues to pursue, firing constantly, never missing.  Before I get back to town, it's up to $12k damage.  So, I stop get out and shoot down the helicopter.  The INSTANT I get in the car, two more armoured cars and another helicopter appear RIGHT next to me.  Car is now up to $15k damage.  I try to run, but again the helicopter hangs right over me, so I have to stop again, blow it up.  The SECOND I get back in, yep, there's another one.  Then another one.  Then another one.  Plus armoured cars, of course.  By the time I get the car to the warehouse, it's riddled with bullet holes, somewhere around $30k damage done.

 

As I seem to say a LOT, what was I supposed to do?

 

So, the next mission seemed easier, just race to beat the car owner's time to win the car.  3 minutes to get from midtown to the inland sea.  No problem, should be easy... except literally EVERY car on the road steers into my path, blocking me, criscrossing in front of me, stopping suddenly on bridges so there's NO way past, and every time I so much as graze anything, my car spins around backwards so I have to turn around.  Meanwhile, MORE cars are running into me.  So, naturally, mission failed.

 

The next one was the movie set again.  Same nonsense the second time.  When I went to deliver this one (I didn't deliver the first one, the videos suggested only selling top tier cars), I thought I'd stop and take out any pursuing cars before they could hurt the car I was delivering.  But, the second I hopped out of my car, BOOM, onshotted.  I respawned, and before I even knew where I was, BOOM, oneshotted.  I respawned, and ran back to take out the bad guys.  Took out two, then BOOM, oneshotted, even though I was in cover.  Next time, I got into cover and was waiting to take a shot, when a civilian panicked and ran his car right into me, oneshotting me.  Note that I wasn't on the road.  I was up PAST THE SIDEWALK by a bridge.  The car had to come 20 feet off the road to hit me.  This went on and on and on until I finally killed the first two cars.  Then two more appeared.  Once they were gone, two more.  Then two more.  Then two more.  By now, I was running out of time, I had only 15 minutes to begin with, so I tried to just run to the car and run for it, but every time I did, I was instantly gunned down (partly since I had no armour or snacks left).  So I was forced to finish off the bad guys and run to the car before more arrived.  I eventually did get to it, and on the drive there... you guessed it, EVERY car was swerving into me from every direction.

 

So again, what was I supposed to DO?!?

 

Do people actually find this fun?  For me, it's just a nonstop exercise in frustration.

slipknot is one of the most well known bands of all time, you could probably walk up to ANYONE over the age of 16 and ask if they’ve atleast heard of slipknot and they’d more than likely say they have. There would have been no “outrage”. If people didn’t like it, there’s other things the game offers that they might enjoy.

Well... first of, you don't have to sell the car the minute you source it. You are selling only the top tear cars and collect the others, so you can source only top tear cars. Second of all - the Cargobob is your best friend.

Even without the cargobob, the NPCs stop driving crazy after the shooting and chaos dies down and you've got plenty of time to drive a reasonable speed, there's no need to be full throttle the entire way to deliver.

I see this all the time with most band and artist branding clothing. Just recently i saw someone with a Deadmau5 shirt and i asked what his most favorite album was. He couldn't even mention 1 track from that particular album. GTA also has some radio-station clothes but i still wear some of them because i find them aesthetically pleasing. People often just wear what they think what looks good on them, regardless if they have the knowledge about the artist(s).

The most worn band shirt here is from the Ramones, well or it used to be, ppl that don't look like they listen to punk music at all wear it all the time. I would never wear band shirts of bands that i don't even know one album of. 

 

I mean very often ppl also wear Lucky Strikes clothing even if they are non smokers, or Jack Daniels clothing even tho they never drink anything, they just wear it because it looks good. Fashion doesn't make much sense, it always been like that.

 

I always have to smile a bit, seeing ppl wearing the one obligatory piercing in the face, so they don't look boring. Or the one obligatory tattoo on the arm or somewhere. I hardly think these ppl wear that, because they like it, no they just do it so they don't look so boring.

If we do get a Criminal Enterprises Part II, adding a Chop Shop option to our Auto Shops would be a good addition. Take any street vehicle you can sell at LS and over time they "chop" it, and you can pick up the money every 48 minutes. If you have two bays you can chop two vehicles at the same time.

 

Biker businesses can "put some product aside", and you can, finally, do some low level street drug dealing. Pick up a duffle bag from your business and get given ten markers where you need to deal the drugs.

I am more interested in seeing what cars appear at Simeons than the dripfeed. Are they going to go mad and put stuff like the Barrage in there because I can see pure shenanigans if they do? While we are at it I wouldn't mind a Military Surplus showroom that shows stuff from Warstock.

So again, what was I supposed to DO?!?

 

Do people actually find this fun?  For me, it's just a nonstop exercise in frustration.

The trick in the movie set mission, is to don't kill anyone of the guards, you just get into the car undetected, it's doable to 100% in all of the movie set missions. You just sneak to the car get in, push the boost button and that's it.

 

And selling cars while there is no other player in the session, means that there will ALWAYS spawn NPC's in Sultan RS trying to shoot you. The trick selling while being alone in a session, is to just drive until the red dots appear on the radar, park the car somewhere, and then kill the 3 waves of Sultan RS enemies.

 

And the trick to always being able to source the same car over and over again, only selling high end cars, is to collect 32 cars one of each, never have any duplicates, if you are at 80% of 100% you sell one high end car, source it again, and sell it again, and again and again and again. I always only sell the 811 because it has the highest top speed, well on PC at least, and im used to the handling.

 

You shouldn't get ANY duplicates at all, before you got 32 cars in the warehouse. Just NEVER put more than 32 cars so 80% into the warehouse. And always use the office computer to source cars, else you might get duplicates, if you use Terrorbyte or the Arcade Master Control Terminal you CAN get duplicates afaik. I never use that, and i never got any duplicates.

 

And to avoid crashing while selling the cars, you should learn how to drive unpredictable and safe, the game tries to put the traffic directly into your way, but it can't do that if you drive totally unpredictable and safel at the same time. Just put the thought in your head that the traffic is the ENEMY, because it really is the case when selling cars.

 

It barely happens anymore that i hit the traffic, i know by now how they try to get in my way. It just takes a little time to get used to it.
