Imagine if we could unlock random dripfeed vehicles in the casino.

6 months dripfeed would still exist but you get 0,0001% change to get something earlier by winning a lottery.

 

I'd like it and hate it, mostly hate it because I would spend all my money trying my luck and envy all the people coming in and hit it first try

So many people would hate that but I'd love it. I mean really, it is the TDU way too

i would like it if we would get them for free when we win them.

and i would hate it if it would just unlock them on the website to purchase

And once someone unlocked it, they would give them to other people with glitches lol 

 

They also see rank locking stuff limits the amount of people who can spend money on them. I miss 2013 when we had rank unlocks  Like you made the bronze, silver, and gold medals for certain levels, should have had something for getting those ranks...

Why does everything have to be a 'meme' all of a sudden? Let people enjoy things without it becoming a 'meme,' f*cking hell.

Because it is. It becomes a "meme" when people/companies abuse / reuse something so much it loses its "value" and just becomes repetitive.

inb4 like gunrunning research, you unlock them after spending a certain amount in casino, than can buy them. Say you unlock new $1 million car for spending $1 million in casino lol

[Tez2]

@Piro Is there really anything they could add to the mess they have created at the casino entrance ?

I personally think that's all what we are gonna get in terms of casino props.

I can't remember who said it in here so I apologise. Based on what has been posted this a redemption of After Hours.

Slowly raises hand. 

 

The way I see it, and keep in mind that I am already keeping my expectations under control, based on what was said by Rockstar on the latest tease we got for the Diamond, is that this update will:

 

Have a shared area where everyone will be able to hang out with each other (the casino area with the gaming amenities).

 

This means no more fragmented nightclubs with either one lone person or a couple of friends at most in each. If you think about it, this format makes the most sense: you get a common area to be with everyone and private quarters to be with only the ones that are the most important to you. (RDO could learn a thing or two from this). 

 

I think one of the biggest criticisms of After Hours was the splitting of people into individual clubs with no common area using already-existing brands (Bahama Mamas' interior being the biggest example).

 

At the expense of potentially annoying those who can't stand the slightest bit of criticism towards this game, I'd call this part the redemption of "After Hours" - and many other of Rockstar's shortcomings as of the last few years.

 

And also, the focus on luxury, lavish spending, "something for everyone" and the nightlife connection.

 

"Luxury" and "lavish spending" promise plenty of merchandise available for people to spend the funds they've been saving so far. Exotic cars, fine clothing, private suites, etc. I think that these things, and in plentiful number, were something we were expecting and looking forward to in finding in After Hours but didn't. There's a chance we might get what was missing a year ago, here.

 

Additionally, I see the casino as a natural fit to the nightlife theme that was started last year with After Hours. It might help in enriching the experience originally brought by nightclubs.

 

This is where I see the sequel to After Hours.

 

I'm writing all of this based on what was said on that newswire post. I've learned my lesson of not overblowing my expectations like I did last year, accepting any fault I may have had on that. As such, I don't think that this speculation is that far-fetched. Only time will tell, though.

 

I will say, however, that that newswire post did enthuse me a little when I previously was at a solid "don't really care".

Well, no more prop line-ups are in the tunables. If we get a new set, they probably will change the back were the parking garage is. But i'm pretty sure we get more info on next thursday about that topic.

I guess they could add scaffolding, replace old props with new ones (and place them not only around the front entrance), add construction site vehicles, workers and stuff like that. I'm sure they can figure out something else if its needed.
And if the whole building is going down they could even place a crane.

I mean you can just look at the Arena War for examples:



But ofc they can also:

- Bring back the coming soon banner in the last week before release
- Do nothing and keep those props there until dlc is released

edit:
and if that race track is actually used for something I bet they will use those cardboard low res npcs from AW:

do you think R* will add something about epsilon again

Yes, definately.

[Lupo-Akane]

Would be funny if they did add casino chips in this dlc but the only way to get them is to get a job at the casino lol.

Pool boy

Black jack dealer and so on.

 

Guess I'll have to set up my MTU for this....

Every time a Targaryen DLC is born, the Gods flip a coin.

If you considered After Hours a „failure“ you will consider this one a failure too.

Care to elaborate? What's your opinion on the Casino as a whole?

the only way it could be a failure to me is if it lacks vehicles. like AH did.

What i consider a failed DLC is when the main aspect of the DLC fails to live up to the hype. AfterHours is a great example of that in my opinion. They could've done so much more, but instead they focussed on the wrong thing such as the businesses consolidation. They have to do this DLC right in order for me to give this a 5 star rating. A lot of table games, a lot of cars, and themed stuff arround it.

I don't really get what you expected with After Hours?

A fully featured Nightclub with Customization, a Business Consolidation, new Missions, new cars, new clothes, new vehicles.

 

That's what you can expect in any GTA Online nowadays, expecting more than that will lead to inevitable disappointment.

The focus in After Hours was the Nightclub interior itself.

They MoCapped entire DJ sessions just for that Update.

Do you know how much money that cost them?

 

EDIT: I swear to god the quote system is killing me.

I'm personally ok with that as long as they add 20ish vehicles, with DoomsDay Heist kind of variety.

Doomsday Heists only had that amount of vehicles and variety because it was cut Story DLC content and they basically dumped most of it into one single Update.

Don't expect that.

Oh ok then.. But what are the chances to see that amount of vehicles?

Oh that's for sure. The whole DLC was just a little but underwelming for me, no matter the costs. They did a lot of work, and they did it well. The Nightclusb are cool, but only for a couple of hours.  How many vehicles do you expect in this DLC?

Edited June 23, 2019 by MrARCO

[TermedSaturn942]

i just want more 90's Sedans or maybe some stuff from IV. but we'll probably get the one modern SUV which we get every update and a handful of supers and more similar muscle cars.

Is this lacking in the vehicle department as well? Please tell if you know so I can jump off the hype train now instead of waiting on the crash 

 

Edit: Casino is cool enough but without a good amount of non weaponised vehicles it's just a total waste imo

Hoping that we get the Advanced Handling flags removed, we complained enough to them i think, and that worked in the past.
