Every body moving over to GTA today?  I will check it out, but I haven't been excited for that game in years so I'm in no rush.

 

From what I've been reading, you'll be back to RDO in no time.

 

GTA Online got new "content" but overall it's pretty crappy as usual, and people aren't happy.

 

IMO "too little, too late" barely scratches the surface of how badly R* continues abusing their once amazing game.

For me, GTA$ isn't the issue; it's just the continual abuse of a game that used to be fun to play.

I have it in my Moonshine shack on a book case.  On one of my accounts, I have the Gothic decor without the band expansion.  Where the band would be there is this bookshelf:

Day 1 GTAO player so I've always had pretty much everything and enjoyed grinding for it. MK2 completely destroyed my experience. I've always been able to fight off griefers in jets and armored vehicles but the MK2 ended my GTAO days single handedly. Can no longer grind like I want. I have all the best armored vehicles but still, the 12 year olds will not stop spamming the rockets, they'll follow for as long as it takes to ruin your sale/delivery. I will get out and shoo them away with the mini gun, but they'll just keep coming. The griefers in GTA are next level trolls. Went back for the casino update and it was still the same. MK2's all hovering around the casino and just griefing all over. Done.

Definitely a fake. IF R* did make a story expansion it would only be focused on one character not three, and the part with Arthur's ghost saving Jack from the strange man . But at least there is still some hope for a RDR remake in a couple years

ikr they are trying too much to create "badass" looking clothing and fail miserably.

rockstar is relasing more halloween outfits for 5 year olds now, than historically western themed clothes....

yep exactly. Who ever makes these new outfits and clothing options should be forced to watch some western films before making them. Almost everything they add now is over the top ridiculous and ugly.

 

wtf is this blue lizard bird outfit?

These design choices are bizarre. Some of this stuff, is Jar Jar Binks, levels of WTF.

I know - and him saying that those are the only missions in which we do outlaw stuff is very inaccurate.  Especially since we engage in outlaw activity in the moonshiner story missions.

I thought I read somewhere that people were only getting $1 for the free roam bounties?  I did one yesterday and brought the bounty back to Annesburg and was paid $10.  He was on a wagon and I turned him in dead.

They changed it to $10 on Friday I think?

Maybe Saturday, can't remember.

I do sometimes get small lobbies for a few hours in the middle of the night, and then everything works well, random events happen, camp remains in place, everything's great. Then eventually more players show up and the game goes to hell in a handbasket again. There is a very simple solution for the broken mechanics in the game: reduce lobby size just a little, down to 12 or so players, because then everything does work. But whoever's in charge is one stubborn, stupid SOB, whether it's shareholders or development management I don't know, but to have a simple solution and reject that so that more players can frustrate one another in a broken game, that's just rotten.

 

Fixing the game is more important than Rockstar's misguided game design agenda. A broken game will drive away players, not get them to invest in it.

Oh yeah, they tried it...and it worked.

Then they went back...and it's broke again.

No excuse other than being too cheap and lazy to either put real, modern dedicated servers, or leave the low population sessions in place.

all this LOVE for animals is so wrong.....killing them softly, preparing them nicely, taxidermitating them slowly, then photograph them multiple times, from different angles...just...wtf!?

 

can't you give me banks or trains to rob!? is this so absurd to your image of the wild west R*!?

I want to know who at Rockstar had the idea of create a wild west multiplayer where you can just hunt animals or take photos of them, instead of rob banks, trains, etc.

 

Bro, even if the game had properties (mansions, farms, houses, shops, etc) the eternal grinding would make more sense when we wait for a "heist" update.

Cayo perico seems like a sh*tshow

[RS123]

While playing GTAO the past few days I had a thought. This is also related to RDO. 
 

I’ve been playing a lot of casino heist and it honestly is a good amount of work but it pays very well and it just feels like a fair way to make money, it’s not easy but it isn’t impossible, it’s fair compensation for the time spent. That’s what we want from R*, we want a fair way to make gold in RDO even if it isn’t extremely easy. I get the daily challenges and collected were extremely easy and they broke the economy, but they need to be replaced with a fair way to make gold, I think RDO has pretty fair ways to make $$$ but they’ve made making gold nearly impossible. I want a way to make gold that compensates my time fairly and is fun. 

 

btw neither here nor there but I actually enjoyed the new GTAO update, people are complaining there’s nothing to do on the island but tbh R* never said there would be on their marketing and the heist itself is actually a lot of fun with a ton of options and hidden little things, being able to do it solo is awesome. And I know submarine is 9 mil fully upgraded but I only spent 2 mil and I was able to do the heist without any disadvantages and had a ton of fun, I feel they’re complaining because they got their hopes too high and now they’re whining because R* didn’t deliver on their wildest fantasies (even though R* never said they would). Maybe they shouldn’t have used the words “biggest update ever” because honestly maybe it is, it feels very big and full of content but compared to casino heist or other big updates it doesn’t feel that much bigger, R* really needs to get their marketing departments sh*t together.  Also maybe they shouldn’t have done that summer update and saved all of those cars for this one if they really wanted to market it as the biggest ever update. (Or maybe half of them idk I really like the update)

Yes, and this applies to both games.

We desperately need something really big to work towards, and then not something that just sits there (yacht, luxury jet for GTA examples...there are NO examples in RDO), but provides engagement.

Customization options that you can't just buy on day one, but have to work toward, complicated set ups to acquire accessories and expansions.

One more cookie cutter business doesn't help, there are plenty of effective ways to make money already.

Maybe an opportunity to run a riverboat with it's inherent problems to solve.

That would lead to a map expansion, something that everyone's been clamouring for for as long as there's been a map.

Add gambling, complex raids or robberies.

Horse trading/rustling, one of the most common themes of western movies for as long as there's been western movies.

Dynamic rival gangs like in San Andreas, where your actions have several consequences each time, nothing in life is a simple straight line.

 

No one ever made a film about western wildlife photography or turning into a spirit animal for 5 minutes.

That sure looks like him! This is pretty exciting because maybe him and Bonnie won't be the only characters from the original games to make an appearance.

How cool, when I first saw it at the honor tent I was hoping it was a hint at things to come. And then another player found it at one of the Fences. I think the one in Van Horn, it has to mean something.

So R* is thinking that our characters are going to run around like something out of Project Runway: Wild West Edition. Next thing I know, my guy is going to be running around in boots with sequin heels while wearing Ziggy Stardust style face paint.

 

Lol, no I would never do that to him, even if I think it would be funny as hell.

The 5th graders they have in their content idea dept.

[AutisticAnarchist]

I had a random idea. What if the roles themselves are leading up to heists or heist-like missions? Now, this is based on nothing, and is probably a bad idea, but I had this concept of each role getting an expansion with an extra ten levels, and then on top of that they eventually add heists or heist-like missions for each of the roles which you need to be level 30 to begin? Naturalist could have something like a travelling circus heist to break the animals free, Moonshiner could have something based in Sisika to break out an old friend of Maggie's, Collector could have some sort of true treasure-hunting experience complete with a mysterious ancient ruin, Trader could... okay I don't know what trader could have other than some wacky thing with Cripps, and Bounty Hunter could have something like a more detailed Legendary Bounty, maybe even setting up the trap for the Blackwater Job from the story?

 

Just a concept I thought up, I don't think it's what Rockstar is going to do, I don't think anyone can predict that.

Interesting proposition and think it could be quite fun, as well as provide some kind of fluid continuity, an explanation for the introduction of these roles and series of story lines.

They are good ideas which is why R* probably won't do it.

I can't wait for the snow.  I Hope we have it off an on throughout the whole week instead of just a couple of days like last year.  Honestly, I would welcome it as a regular part of the game(not as often as it rains of course)

Seth has been in the game files since very early on IIRC. He was cut content. Same deal with the properties and the St Denis mansion that costs 600 gold to buy.

 

People keep reposting the same stuff over and over again thinking it's new lol.
