You can't go a single page without seeing that thing get name dropped.

Well, as long as it doesn't get nerfed, it will keep popping up everywhere and with good reason.

Even though we haven't seen all of the stuff, we can still expect things to be added overtime probably even as a surprise.

I'm just hoping those Diamond Program perks are actually useful to the game and not just lazy T-shirts and stuff.

Well, in my defense, I truly despise the broomsticks. i feel offended when i see a high rank riding one. It's like seeing a gramps with a 16 year old. IT's that bad. I f*cking hate them.

IMO it's more about who is riding it, and not so much the bike itself. 

 

I'm rank 1080 and I'll only use it sometimes in PvE missions or if I'm trying to get around fast.

 

I do get why they're disliked. Kinda.

Variety is nice, but I must admit I've only used some of the weapons when they released and never again. It's the same deal with cars really, but at least cars have a bit more about them what with customization and races. Weapons just feel kind of..boring? I guess.

That's why I'm a fan of Mk II weapons, it offers a wider array of customization options to make weapons more unique. It's basically Benny's for guns.

New weapons are good if they’re useful, unique or innovative

laser weapon reskins = not very innovative

stone hatchet with rage ability = something new, but hard to find practical uses for it

atomizer = great fun blasting stuff around and great for getting things unstuck

 

if a new weapon had some kind of a new innovation like an alternative firing mode like lemat has in rdr online it would be great

like maybe an underbarrel grenade launcher on a scar

maybe a Scar-H could have a slow fire rate but high damage to compensate for it with high damage multipliers to reward headshotting for example

Absolutely agree, there's several ways to make weapons feel distinct between each other: rate of fire, damage per shot, clip capacity, recoil, etc.

 

And yeah, an SCAR would be sweet.

You're dead on. I use mine to make my grinding go quicker, and a counter measure. Give griefers a taste of their own.

Does it matter ? Just wait tomorrow and see for yourself.

Also in other news, I grabbed the background script for the casino update.

Is there anything up my street/helipad then? I mean, it's a few hours away anyway, I may as well know if there's anything for me. sh*t, I can keep a secret if you PM me lol.

Think GhillieMaster is right on this; if all there is for this update is Luxury/Sports cars and some Gambling machines and minigames for you to throw $5k at or whatever then there's not much staying power for the DLC. The weekly car wheel spin and new missions are probably what's going to get most of the regular action, just like Nightclub sale missions vs Nightclub dancing... 

[Nyamber]

I just hope there's not a single vehicle with weapons on it in this update, for once.

Meh, gambling is a lot different than sitting there watching a virtual character dance, def don’t need any weaponized vehicles so I’m fine with it

Gambling's only as good as the lure; people aren't going to get addicted at the slots if they can make more money just doing any free mode work, which they probably can. Rockstar's not about to let people make bank at Casinos when they've gone to great lengths to ensure any legitimate, decent money making method is dangerous/time consuming.

 

And yes, we could always use more weaponized vehicles. They add more dimension to the game for most people than any of the million, increasingly indistinguishable cars on the road do.

I wonder if there are any more seats on the hype train

The fact that you think they do with oppressor MK2 running around is insane, also gambling is supposed to be something you do for fun not expecting to make money..

The Oppressor MKII objectively adds more dimension to the game lol. Doesn't matter if it's overpowered or not, it gives way more utility and does things you couldn't do 5 years ago, which can't be said for the vehicles coming out tomorrow. 

 

Gambling can be just as fun as dancing which can be just as fun as Tennis or Golfing. But we already know most most everyone in a given server is having fun elsewhere than those places. No reason gambling wouldn't be the same way after a while.

so uh, where exactly we're all supposed to be posting stuff tomorrow? my posting abilities are kinda limited in places like the next dlc speculation thread

 

@Spider-Vice? @Mach1bud?

Create a topic for the stuff you find in the files here in this section I suppose. Fine with me.

Honestly... I don't know if I'm ready lmao. This update is really gonna be gamechanging. The hours are passing by painfully.

[AdamEterno]

It's almost time!
God, it feels like Christmas Eve right now. 

I'll be waking up at 4 AM my time to enjoy the update.

We survived the drought. Well done everyone.

My armored Revolter, or Shafter LWB. I can just see the f*ckers hovering, waiting in the bushes, stalking us, like f*cking rapists.  I should actually go get a Lost van and do it up....

Really comparing an annoying bike in a video game to real life assault of a minor.

 

WTF.

So if you don't have that 'diamond membership or whatever, does that mean some stuff are locked out?
