Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[Geisterfaust]

Seriously, what is it with this thread and its obsession of owning a private aircraft carrier? This has to be the most idiotic request besides more memecars.

No idea. I don't want aircraft carrier, I don't have any ideas what to do with it. Thing is, R* is getting more and more away from the basics that made this game. I managed to run IV on Win10 yesterday and was surprised how balanced and simple multiplayer was, not to mention that it was actually possible to steal any car from the street, not to buy it for your multi-million dollar garage. Nostalgia? No. I was younger at the golden days of IV of course, but over the ages I got convinced that the game is balanced better than V.

 

Coleco left just after DH dropped, I suspect there will be couple of other forum members who will follow if the next DLC will introduce aircraft carrier or more meme vehicles. Hell, I already decreased my playtime to 1/4 of usual.

Sort of unrelated, but yay! I have not been forgotten this time!

Does anyone know if the 250k is included in this?

Isn't the tax rebate a maximum of $1.000.000? So the max amount you would get is $1,250 m.

Most of the thread has now been convinced that GTA is a military sim, apparently. At least it's not as bad as the helicarrier guy.Military SIM? Not even. It's just common sense to see the shark card trail leading to more weaponized tools.

I've explained power creep before in this very thread and as much as you may be in denial it's present in this game.

 

And as piro stated above the jet greifers used to be able to lock down a whole lobby. Do you want to go back to those days where your best counter measure was the homing launcher and just biting the pillow and letting them go in dry?

 

Just like you guys don't want the things I've requested I've kept my mouth shut over you guys jerking each other off with the filth that was the recent list of drip feed. Apparently it's too much to ask for that same courtesy in return.

^ I also got exactly 1350000$

 

 

Forget every vehicle, we need a skateboard!

that won't happen. To much work with new animations and psychics. If they didn't add sidecars to bikers then a skateboard is a pipedream

 

 

Only boat I could see them adding is a Jetmax Classic, and I don't think it would be with any sort of aquatic update. It would be mixed in with a regular update.

 

 

 

so..

 

after they created a way to customize cars that would normally be on Pegasus list

 

and after they created a way to customize aircrafts (that would normally be on Pegasus list)

 

and after they created a way to customize huge vehicles (that would normally be on Pegasus list)

 

They would now just go back and simply add ONE pegasus boat? that LOOKS custom but it has NO customization?

 

Well.. that doesn't sounds right. All those dlcs are build around the idea of customizing vehicles that you could't before.

 

 

I'm not saying we gonna get a full blown naval dlc... (well maybe we will) BUT if they will give us some new bouts - It's more then likely that they will have a dock where you can customize them (and it won't be cheap)

 

It might be Naval dlc, it might be Beach houses/Mansions with a dock DLC. We don't know. But boats customization will come sooner or later. Same goes for another MOC.

 

Why? Because they have the formula ready. R* always expends/modifies existing ideas cause thats easier then creating something compliantly new

 

First they made Crate Runs - > and they still use that formula.

 

Later they introduced bikers (business that lets you store vehicles inside) -> and they use that idea ever since then (I/E,GR,SR,DDH)

 

 

When you think about it EVERY DLC we had so far is just a copy of a previous one in some way or another.

Also received this, apparently a bit more than the refund with 1 million capped +250k.

[RacistGuy]

you go to the beach and you see 5 useless yacht in the distance. what a f*ckin sh*t view and now think about aircraft carriers...

 

 

more vehicles is not what the game needs. the game needs less world war 3.

 

i believe a casino is the only good idea. how i would do a casino dlc:

-the casino is instanced. friends cannot join to prevent cheating(tell me if you have a better solution)

-the casino has multiple rooms where you can walk around and see other players

-up to 10 player poker tables with our characters sitting there and maybe some cool new animations

-slotmachines where you can win money, cars and maybe even clothing with unique colours. chance to win below 1%

-blackjack tables with up to 4 players

-other popular games

 

come one rockstar just think about how many sharkcards you would sell...

 

im really sick of military crap. this is not a f*ckin wargame stop it!!!!!

"It's common sense" =/= "I hope that GTA gets a helicarrier" or "I hope that fifty percent of content for this game is right out of bloody battlefield".

Oh thank you for keeping your mouth shut because people are happy to get autos in grand theft auto. Your graciousness can't be understated. Unfortunately not all requests are made equal, so when you say crazy stuff like 'I want this incredibly unrealistic fictional flying fortress from a superhero film that doesn't fit even slightly in the game' it's not exactly equal to 'boy am I excited we finally got a 240z, hope for more tuners'.

Yes because this game is 100% realistic from the point of physics. You can be acquitted of crimes for laying low for 5 minutes. Being the victim of a fender bender is punishable by death. But don't worry you'll spawn 5 seconds later.

 

Oh and don't forget our characters exist in an eternal purgatory at the hands of the epsilon cult leader.

 

But don't worry if YOU want realism I'll stay out of your invite only sessions.

[Dacelo]

Once again people mistake thematic realism for mechanic realism. Of course the game isn't realistic in mechanics, if it was it wouldn't be fun.

But GTA needs to maintain thematic realism or there's nothing separating it from Saint's Row.

Thematic realism = Your character can't put on a spandex suit and purchase a fictional flying fortress

Mechanic realism = Your character has to stop sprinting every minute or so and take a 5 minute break

 

Thematic realism is necessary in order to make a game feel cohesive and not like a clusterf*ck. Mechanic realism is reserved for actual military simulators. Simple stuff.

i want some minigames on the next property they add

Offices had Don’t Cross the Line

Biker Clubhouses had... nothing

Bunkers had (as an upper-six-figure upgrade) the shooting range

Hangars had... nothing

Facilities had... nothing, unless you want to count the Orbital Canon as a “minigame” against other players

If Rockstar added some future feature that awarded other simple Office video games like DCtL in addition to reward money, I’d be all over that. Instead of the Office desk trophy or unlocking trade prices or whatever if you complete 10 fetch/delivery missions you would either find a treasure hunt note like the double-action revolver or the Assistant would call and you’d get a new Degenetron game. Though, hopefully not something like E.T. or Custer’s Revenge.

I was trying to think of high-end crimes that Rockstar hasn’t used yet and I came up with Forgery. Not the low-rent crap that you have with the Biker business, but top-dollar stuff that goes on IRL: rare artwork, classic cars, manuscripts, etc.

How about a mission where you have to break into a museum and replace an original with a forgery. (Stealth, new interiors). Next you steal a classic car so that your experts can copy it and you deliver the copies with faked papers.

And if I see this on some “hit that Like button and subscribe...” YT video, so help me I’lll.......

Biker Clubhouse has darts.

ANY difference between Clubhouse Darts and the Darts at the bar near the satellite dish array? If no, then it doesn’t count.

Oh boi... I get where you coming from. I know you don't want it and you have a good reason for not wanting it and not likening it

but plz do explain to me using your "logic" how come in a world with:

- flying cars
- flying bikes
- explosive ammo
- aliens and ufos
- military prototype aircrafts that look like ufos
- FIB ufos
- railguns
- AI with army of robots
- Bigfoots, beasts, ghosts

a flying secret base that can hover is "thematically too unrealistic" for this game right now? This game is now way more unrealistic then marvel movies.

I get your chrystianizm about the shift of a GTAs theme but that ship sailed a looooong time ago.

I'm on your side. I also think that helicarrier would be over the top but the way you argue about it...

just makes you sound like a kid screaming "BUT I DON't WANNA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

It kind of sailed, yeah. I don't like how GTA moved towards this crap, and hope that the next installment doesn't jump the shark like this did. That said, a flying helicarrier is more wacky than a lot of the stuff you listed simply because a lot of those are either easter eggs or limited to certain missions/out of the way.

 

Essentially, GTAO's aesthetic and theme right now is a dumpster fire. Adding even more wacky stuff "because it's already silly" is like throwing gasoline onto it; GTAO is already a lost cause for me but if updates head in a more traditional direction people may gravitate back to it.

Gta san andreas had alot of ridiculous sh*t in it. So does this gta. There is simply no actual realism in gta. You have an option to make it as real as you want it to.

Hey guys i got awarded 1.35 mil

Its not 10% rebate or 250k

 

Look at my tweet https://twitter.com/saiyambansal100/status/968823242344472577

Look i don't hate the military/whacky stuff and they do have a place in the game,but not Every f*cking update has to be focused On that.

 

Even DH was still a military update so i don't think that it's wrong for people to ask something else that isn't military/goverment Themed.

 

All the 2017 updates exept for the march one was military themed,this year Some other things should get that amount of focus. it's only fair.

 

and please don't Call me a heliphobe or whatever.

[Nutduster]

Hopefully it's a 50/50 split lol. Everyone can have something they want. Good vibes, live and let live, etc.

 

No such thing as live and let live when the weaponized vehicles fly and have homing missiles. Let's not kid ourselves. The number of players who won't blast away when their Deluxo locks onto a random car are a slim minority.

 

All this talk of splitting the updates in half is missing the bigger picture, I feel. I'm against weaponized vehicles - we have enough and they dominated the recent updates. But if a few more are in the next update or two, I'm not gonna cry about it. What I don't want however is for the game to just turn into Goofy Battlefield. We are perilously close to that right now, and it's been at the expense of normal content. There will be no tuner DLC or mansions DLC or casino while Rockstar is obsessed with Doomsday and Gunrunning type updates. They don't fit together.

 

By the way, those arguing the sales aspect of this: the three updates I mentioned would be massively popular. Luxury and status symbols are always successful in this game, as is anything you can customize; I see no shortage of useless yachts off the coast. Mansions in particular would sell like mad. So let's not pretend that poor Rockstar is gonna go broke if they put out one update where the theme isn't Blow Each Other Up More.

To ask for a break does not make you phobic, only outright lashing out at an idea makes you phobic.

 

I'm not honestly even expecting to see the helicarrier until at least a years worth of campaigning. Plenty of time for all types of updates! And so long as my glory is realized before the dumpster fire extinguishes I'll be satisfied.

 

If an update isn't my theme I'll pick and choose my purchases and let live and if it is then I'll buy a start card and go to town.

Not in public free roam you don't. Not when your low key realism has a flying motorcycle or hovercar pumping rockets at you as fast as xXxAngryT33nWarl0rdxXx can pull the trigger.

I have no problems with flying broomsticks and flying meme cars, just as long as they arent bothering me and my money making. But imo YOU have an option to make it realistic by your own play style. Dont like the flying cars killing everything in sight? Just go into a solo pub lobby and drive your skyline through a leisurely ride, stop at stoplights, and following street laws. its all up to you about how realistic you want it to be my dude.

Edited February 28, 2018 by Samcrow

[Nutduster]

So to enjoy an online multiplayer game "my way," I have to learn to lag myself out of sessions and not play with other players. Is that the gist of your suggestion?

 

Realism is not my primary concern. I know GTA isn't realistic. But it has an established aesthetic and theme that is hard to see now when buried under an avalanche of military hardware, orbital strikes and meme cars. Especially when the people who love those things are constantly hassling everyone.

[Dacelo]

Defeating the entire purpose of playing an Online game in the first place while you're at it; GTA IV MP managed to be consistent with the tone set by the singleplayer and I'd take the street gunfights and hanging out of the side of cars to fire at people any day over being nuked by some guy across the map.

Guess everyone's getting 1.35m then regardless of how much money they spent over the last week? Or is the rebate and 250k bonus separate from this "loyalty" bonus?
