An announcement should be imminent in two weeks and then eventually release in three weeks.

If Rockstar buffs the Rhino, let it go out on the ocean and let us use the cannon for thrust and lift.

Damn! You just brought back some memories.

 

I used to do just that in III with the flying cars cheat to try to find the ghost town.

I'm guessing we're just gonna get a Festive Surprise 2018 with just the old stuff coming back and maybe a free car. Deluxo done up like Santa's sleigh or something. *shrugs shoulders *

Welp. Been gone for like 2 months or so. After Hours killed this game for me ngl. Also for the fact that I was possibly spoiled by someone on what's coming. Not gonna say what or whom, but it either will be God damn amazing or God damn disappointment, bigger than After Hours. The two sources I have, have slightly conflicting info tho and I don't know which is more likely, maybe both. Well, either way, if it is legit or it isn't, my money goes on the Christmas update as always, with the updates continuing to the 2019, with a long awaited content by me and some other users. 

 

Also as I can understand qabeta3 and qabeta2 have nothing to do with the release pattern anymore, right?

I don't care about more businesses (Bunker and Club Warehouse sales have made me more money than I'll likely ever need), and while I wouldn't mind a mansion, all I really want are more vehicles and places to store them (if I could buy a second hangar or office with garages I'd be so happy), with various cosmetics thrown in (clothes, hair, etc).  If we do get more Mk II vehicles, I'd rather they be defensive based, like chaff and flares for old aircraft.  I'd love to see a Weaponized Tampa Mk II where the only difference is it can actually withstand explosions.

I've never quite understood the 'you pay with your time argument', how does that work?  I for one play a game because I think it's fun and I like it, it's on my free time and I will never get that time back no matter if I play a game, watch a movie, read a book or whatever I do. 

I'm not in any way trying to be a prick or difficult or whatever but just genuinely curious if there's something I'm missing here? 

 

I don't see the updates as free anyway tho 

You missing one thing - you implying that grinding in this game is in any way "fun". Can you point the fun part of driving the slowest garbage truck/PostOP van uphill for 30min while people can kill you with a click of a button, no skills required? and doing that 50-500 times? Or keeping the popularity up while you do the same intentionally repetitive and tedious task just to get 10k?

Of course you can find loopholes (like playing multiplayer game alone in empty loby...) but thats not the point.
"free time that you enjoy wasting was never wasted" but theres nothing enjoyable about grinding in gtao. Other games? Sure grinding and progression can be fun, sometimes its the best part of the game! 

But take that BF controversy for example - people got angry because progression (that would be fun) was intentionally stretched out to the point that no sane person would want to do it. Or imagine a game where hunting is fun cause you can progress by upgrading your gear. But then imagine you have to kill not 5 bears but 5000 bears to get even a simple retexture.

Thats why people say you have to pay with your time/life cause that the point, R* wants you to come to conclusion that "I'd rather spend couple $ then waste my life doing this boring sh*t again". And that mentality also gave us unbalanced OP vehicles that ruined this game even more.

Pretty much this:

See it this way, time is literally invaluable, every second that passes is already gone and you'll never going to get it back. Would you like to spend the few time you have on Earth by doing menial tasks in a videogame instead of having fun with it?

 

I mean, sure, some people don't see the grind as a bad thing and that's fine but let's not ignore the fact that the grind was put in place to waste time, time that could have been better spent in actually having fun with the game itself.

 

As that adage goes: "time well spent is not wasted time".

 

I never thought I'll go filosofical here of all places, but here we are.

 

We need some leaks goddamit lol

 

 

I would give them some slack if they made the grind less boring and intentionally repetitive but ofc every business dlc is the same - handful of missions (usually 3-5 max) that you have to do over and over again for YEARS and they never update them (even tho it takes like 2min to make those missions). Also I wouldn't complain about the grind if the game was well balanced and wans't a complete mess at this point. 

But lets end this here cause he had this conversation a million times by now...

That was my pitch for adding custom Kaufman Taxi - defensive getaway vehicle, chaff, no rockets, strong armor and ability to jump. I'd rather get new vehicles then another reskin with couple props on top.

It would be funny if R* adds yet another Business in the next update (as ir we haven't got enough of those) but it wasn't compatible with the Terrorbyte.

Oh I'm 100% sure it won't be compatible. They will just add another vehicle like terrorbyte (personally hoping for a hovercraft or a ship with a helipad or something like that)

Whatever it is lets just hope its not another truck...

Not sure I'm implying anything and I can't point out where the fun in driving garbage truck/post op van because there's no fun in it. 

I do also agree that things is geared to much towards selling SC and was just wondering about the pay with your time argument, understand the thought behind it a little better now,  thanks

^ Truck Simulator is a popular game, some people might really enjoy those missions.

If you're really going to argue a case that biker garbage truck and post op van sales have any fun factor you might want to pick your audience a little better.

 

They're almost universally looked down upon as completely sh*t around these parts.

Yeah, because activities such as Haulage, especially using your MOC cab, are actually fun.

 

Unlike the post op and garbage truck sales, where you aren't even close to being a trucker. You're in the slowest vehicles imaginable, playing "suicidal UPS delivery guy simulator", which nobody has asked for, ever.

[sara butcher]

driving a slow truck isn't even close to being a trucker?  lol, man I needed that laugh, thanks!

I'm one that's very keen on a trucker DLC. Don't even mind driving a trash trucks or post OP van now and then, when alone.

 

My complaints are more aimed at how R* just make it so easy to fail. Compare MC sales to Gunrunning, no contest. The truck in gunrunning is drastically different and far stronger. (Though I dislike the wedge and often use my hauler).

 

Any business comes with the same caution from me. The actual content isn't terrible, and as shown yesterday, many don't mind a bit of a grind too if it's progressive and rewards at the end. It's just the wasted time a MKII toy can cause, it's not even a slight challenge as opposed. 

 

I am a fish in a barrel and there are a so many just waiting to take a free shot.

I believe he means that instead of being free to drive those trucks, They're just grief magnets. 

 

That's what's not a trucker, IMHO.

A UPS van and a GARBAGE truck? Hardly 18 wheelers on the highway. 

 

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm calling troll account. 

[sara butcher]

if you are playing solo then yes it is harder, but this is a multiplayer game, if you have a full MC when doing those it will be very hard for anyone to destroy your sale...

Nope, a breeze to run alone. But I do stay at lone limits. Little and often to reduce losses, if they come. They don't pay any more to sell at full. It's 4x a lone sale, more trucks to drive.

 

This is an online game before multiplayer. Since day one we've had soloable activities. But thats an easy misunderstanding.

Nobody asking for a trucker DLC wants anything like post op vans to be anywhere near it.

 

Yeah, I call troll. A less than 1 day old account comes into one of the forums most active threads holding a defensive position in favour of 2 of the most widely hated mission vehicles in the game? Something doesn't add up.

 

But whatever, this is almost the definition of fruitless, so my participation in this conversation will end.

I don't think it is a misunderstanding, since day one they have encouraged team play...  just go back and watch the GTA Online gameplay trailer...  either way, I do understand what you guys are saying, but I also know that you are not a sitting duck, the easiest way to defend against a missile car/bike is to get out of the sale vehicle, now they can't lock on, and you stand a better chance...  the weapon wheel alone has a few toys that are useful against a MkII on your tail, in full aim lobbies just use a Combat MG MkII, for any lobby use the minigun, or Pump Shotty MkII with explosive rounds, if the range is farther use the Heavy Sniper MkII...  you are not a fish in a barrel, except for the Orbital Cannon, I will never defend that, it needs to go...

I mentioned Truck Simulator, not all trucks in those games are 18 wheelers...  either way, see above...  personally I find that successfully defending a sale against another player is fun, and you get a great feeling when you deliver that truck...

Encouraged, not forced. With solo sessions from day one, sorry, can't agree. Optional all round, we choose our game here. Online alone or online multiplayer. Until it's forced that we share, it's choice.

 

I know we all have different experiences and preferences, that's the beauty of here/in game. If R* didn't punish defending businesses, maybe I could agree with the rest, sorry. Game's warped, IMO. But that's my take, I've had enough to say on that subject, lol.

As a Brit, certainly agree. But there's a world of difference between a truck with a cab and trailer, and a van. To me at least.

 

Van drivers unload too. Truckers tell ya to jog on, lol. 'Get the forks to do it, I'm getting some kip' lol.

 

I get ya point a bit though, much like driving my Dominator to drop off, still just driving and delivering. But I'd like one still.

I use my club as a makeshift trucker type of business for now, but if a proper one comes and we get those vans added to it, uugh. It'd be very underwhelming, even with turbo boosts. 

 

Don't go there R*, please!

I agree with most of that, and I will admit, I too get disappointed when I get one of those missions, but for me it's just part of the game, not every sale or mission is going to be fun or easy,  I guess it should be fun, as it is a game, but look at it this way, it's more realistic, kinda like riding the horses in RDR, it can get annoying as sh*t, but that's the price to pay for realism...  and I don't want anyone to conflate realism with "exactly like real life", obviously a flying DeLorean isn't real but a sci-fi game can have realism in it, just because the setting isn't realistic doesn't mean the mechanics can't be, and in fact the more the mechanics feel real the more I am immersed, see Cyberpunk 2077

But 5min ago you ware arguing that those missions are fun. Or were you saying that maybe one person in a million will enjoy doing it more then once? either way our point still stands. You don't have to defend R* at every step...

Yeah, I too like the game more and more when I can immerse myself and totally accept the randomness of the sales too. It'd be nice to see further businesses follow the club ways though (the flexibility of how much, and the flexibility of sales).

 

But fun is key and relative too with this game and how much it offers so it must be tricky at times for R* when considering mechanics. Not a job I'd enjoy, lol.

[agent_asshole]

19 days left until december dlc release

 

it's pretty safe to assume that the new dlc will release on december 11th with a newswire/trailer on december 6th.
that would be in line with every december dlc since 2015 (executives and other criminals: tuesday 15th // import/export: tuesday 13th // the doomsday heist: tuesday 12th)

also, that's two weeks of time for the shifted focus on red dead online.

I still think it's fun, jut not as fun as other missions, more annoying because of how long they take...  and I'm not defending anything, am I not allowed to like a game?  also I will defend R* because they are one of the best game developers on the planet...
