Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[vKing]

Gta Online is definitively looking much better then RDRO atm but it will only be downhill from now on for Gta Online. Read dead online has a lot of issues right now but once it finds it's feet it will kill Gta online. Enjoy it while it lasts folks.

The recent DLC changed my thoughts about GTA Online.

When people saw the announcement, they kept saying the arena mode is crap but now we are playing it and it's awesome and provide a fun experience.

It succeed in taking me away from Red Dead Online which made me realize that even the most stupid ideas you can come up with could provide a fun experience if you make the right decision.

If you take the business parts of GTAO and do the opposite of what R* have done, I believe it will provide both sides with a fun experience.

Making the Bombushka not be able to carry vehicles anymore is definitely NOT the right decision

I like how its kinda gone back to the roots of San Andreas. Y'know, arenas, banged up cars, monster trucks. Its like they have realised GTA Online was heading in the wrong direction and rectified it in a very good and enternaining way. You can't call them No Fun Police this time round fellas.

[Horrid_Saiyam]

Eh I like the races too but those mad max vehicles and laser guns don’t suit in a game called Grand Theft Auto

Please Mate, don’t compare grinding for cars and businesses with horses. It’s a different ballgame.

That's not what I meant by "right decision". I was referring to the business side of the game and how deliveries work.

Except the prices, insane AP requirements vs AP rewarded, and RNG Tier rewards is not fun...

Red Dead is not an ideal game for kids like you anyways... have fun with your mad max vehicles  

Can we not get into a slap fight of which game is better. Personally, I prefer GTA because horses don't interest me in the slightest. Some people don't like the places GTA has gone to, which I get. What I don't appreciate is people getting into "MY GAME IS BETTER WAAAH" on the f*cking speculation board.

Well they added another 3 versions of the slamvan, yet not the one with the cab on the back (aka lost mc slamvan).

I mean they let us buy the f*cking taxi and the spacedocker before we get a regular looking old style van.

sooo , after playing for around 8 hours (yesterday and today) , my opinion about this DLC has completely changed :

 

I was sooo excited about the new cars (I still think they are almost spot on , all in all ) , this new game mode looks rly fun too (it is fun ) ... BUT .... BUT It´s R* that we´re talking about here ... they ALWAYS find a way to RUIN EVERYTHING :

first , that stupid , rly stupid unlock , AP system or whatever... even worse than the GR one , I could care less about all these bull**** clothes in this game , yet i´m unlocking useless pixels instead of actual prices ... I´m at AP Tier 20 (8 hours pure game play) and i ´ve only managed to unlock 4 of the 5 Arena-ready cars´ prices ( and i consider myself lucky because others didn´t unlock any prices , but the one missing here is the one that i like the most : the 350Z ). 

plus the grind is sooo hard , and it becomes rly boring after some hours ( R* let us grind for these prices instead of enjoying the actual game itself) .

 

Okey , this aside , now playing the new game modes themselves : in so many modes there are cars that are OP like the Death Bike , so unbalanced ....

plus I keep hitting invisible things and dying (????) ... no it wasn´t a spectator since I always commit suicide , like WTF DID I JUST HIT EVERYTIME ???? I still don´t know till this day ...

speaking about spectators : while i understand that R* want us to be involved the the game even after beeing eliminated , It´s sometimes just depressing that someone out of nowhere drops a proximity mine and takes me out of the game , even if it´s everyone Vs. everyone (no Teams here) .... that is the worst idea ever tbh ....

 

so (sry for typing too much ) , this is a typical R* DLC , like I ALWAYS say : awesome ideas , terrible implementation .... a great pity, it could habe been a real fun ....

my opinion about it went from "very good " to " mediocre at the best " , because the new cars saved it a little bit ....

This potentially might be the dripfeed order.

Week 1: Up-n-Atomizer (and Toros)

Week 2: Clique
Week 3: Itali GTO
Week 4: Deviant
Week 5: Tulip
Week 6: Schlagen
Week 7: RC Bandito
Week 8: Widowmaker and Unholy Hellbringer (and Deveste Eight)
(Week 9 - if not week 8): Deveste Eight
Week 9: Vamos

This was taken from the scripts. It lines up with the website order perfectly, and it's also worth noting that some dripfeeds did follow the same order as in the script.

Plot twist those mad max vehicles were part of the cut zombie dlc and laser vehicles future or whatever was part of that cut alien dlc

The main problem with RDO, in my opinion, is the very large lack of playable/enjoyable content. From the start of GTA Online, Rockstar had a pretty solid mission system in the form of contact missions, which honestly should have carried over to RDO. Plus the lack of features that should have been implemented day one like private lobbies for example. RDO will not kill GTA Online as it is a completely separate genre that caters towards slower gameplay. On top of that, the odds of RDO meeting the content level of GTAO just doesn't seem possible, and the primary reason for that is the difference in time.

 

In 1899, there wasn't much. The industrial revolution was in full swing, and advancements in technology were starting to arise at a steady pace. Then you have modern day 2018. We have cars, advanced weaponry, deep customization, unbelievable technology, and most of all, more variety.

 

I believe RDO will have a special place in the gaming world as it has no competition, but it will never be as successful as GTAO. I loved the RDR2 story and how beautiful the game is, but it just doesn't present a stable, consistent, and at times fun grind towards something you really want in the online at the moment. Could this change? Of course. Will it any time soon? Probably not. It does give me some excitement though, as RDR2 has shown me that the next GTA will look absolutely stunning visually.

I agree with you in every point but seriously gta doesn’t feel like gta anymore. Obviously next gta game which will probably launch on next gen will be ground breaking and will feel like Grand Theft Auto at least in single player experience 

im mostly worried about online as it also ruins the whole brand altogether

Well said, and i agree in general. But in terms of content for RDR Online i think there is still a wealth of content to be "dug" here. For example very old-school guns like muskets, flintlocks and older models of revolvers are some of the weapon types that can be added to the game in the future. gtao has two revolvers, musket, "marksman pistol" even though they don't really belong in that time period. Owning farms (or other types of businesses) and then implementing the "GTA grind" system is something i'm almost certain they will implement in the future to try and win over the "Hardcore GTA" fans.

 

I look at it this way, it doesn't matter what type of games these two titles are, they are still kind of the same. Let's imagine i work at Rockstar right? And i get the task of implementing the Export & import DLC from gta online into rdr online. A simple way of doing this is to replace the cars with horses, the garages with stables and boom! DLC that is almost identical to Export & Import is implemented into rdr online. My point is that everything that GTA online is doing, is something that rdr online can do as well. How well that content will translate over i don't know, but it's super easy to just put a "skin" over everything and transfer it over. People would be stupid to think that Rockstar won't take what they learned with gtao and implement that into rdro. (or re-use some content or concepts in rdro)

I agree that GTA isn't the same at all. It has spiraled down into ridiculousness, but at times that ridiculousness has created some fun content, such as the current Arena Wars. Vehicles like the Oppressor, specifically the MKII variant, really mess up the game and leave a bad taste in my mouth. I'd like to believe Rockstar would at least start off the next GTA in a normal and realistic way, but I'm afraid they'll go over the top right at launch. Time will tell.

 

In the mean time, I wouldn't be surprised if we keep seeing content for GTAO until at least a year prior to the next GTA launch.
