The Diamond Casino & Resort Grand Opening - July 23rd

[Up2NoGood45]

My final conclusion is this update is underwhelming for me but at the same time it was inexpensive.

 

The cars are awesome.  I've broken my personal record on stunt tracks with two of them on the first time out and I've won close to 2000 stunt races.

 

But the Casino is a big disappointment and the job payouts are a joke.  I can make more money playing contact missions than these ridiculously hard coop missions even at double money.  

 

But love the cars.  Looking forward to December.

There's two interesting sets of dialog for bad beat

one for being in the car with ms baker and other one for being with Cheng and translator

The penthouse bar room desperately needs a pool table w/ the minigame from San Andreas.

 I thought to share a video I produced on Tuesday night to show the comparisons of the Casino, thanks to the Rockstar Editor and Simple Trainer (mpmaps options) I was able to get the angles accurate.

I agree with everything you say but I have no interest in gambling so it was only ever about the property and cars for me. And I love the penthouse, finally something classier than apartments, and the customizattion options and the mental limo driver, he's a real smile generator.

 

Issi is awesome

Thrax is fast but so quiet it's really dull

Don't really know why the Paragon exists unless you are an enthusiast, I sold it straight away.

Truck is meh because there a millions of similar trucks already

8F sounds gorgeous and spits overrun fire all over the place, love it

Selling the Neo tomorrow, it's OK but I don't really like the styling. Apart from the backend it reminds me of a late 80s Toyota Celica, the model before they were actually good. And the front is every Ocelot.

Annis is great, really unique, and I like the fact that it's not the fastest and forced me into building several really twisty tracks, it's a chopped RE-7B, I get that, but still worth doing.

Looking forward very much to the other vehicles.

 

Overall, it's a good update. Apart from dripfeed. I think it inspires people to grind far more when they can drool daily at a website picture and then go buy it rather than checking back once a week.

I think partying in the Casino Penthouse Bar pretty much killed off the non business side of the Night Club DLC. I noticed that the Nightclub DJ's music is played during the 20k party as well.  I still like the NC for the "front", the extra garages and business consolidation, but the club part of it is pretty silly now.

Luckily I missed all the fan fare when that thing released. Is there an actual purpose to that thing at all?

I’m not complaining about the cars at all.  Would be like a man dying of thirst in the desert complaining the water isn’t flavored LOL.  

 

After the sh*tty, bouncy cars they have given us the last year these are wonderful!

Heres a very simple, mini update/mini DLC idea, let us set up a version of our nightclub on a floor of the casino. Then we could double the NC production, add 7 garage slots, a bowling alley and a new DJ for the casino. Plus, a 10k per day dividend for setting the rave up @ the Casino. This update lacks flexibility, above all else. I'd spend 3 mill for that.

Well good thing Rockstar fixed Inside Track, picking different odds each time lmao.

Well, I’d agree if only we could dance during a penthouse party, but we can’t.

 

This (and other mini games such as pool table) would make the penthouse more interactive and funny.

A spawn point. Hahahahahaha that's it.

 

And an outdoor hot tub, maybe?

Piracy prevention is a pretty good VIP mission, you get a Super Volito and Toro (expensive boat) spawn point, that's about it. Overall the only real reason to buy it is to make a statement about what you can afford

Am I imagining things, or did the fitted suit jackets used to contain open versions? I could swear I used to have navy and white ones with open jackets.

 

What has happened to them, when did they disappear from the stores and wardrobes?

I keep seeing Memes about the Inside Track Horse one method/tactic being nerfed. Is it true?

Because if so that's pretty f*cking shady. Actually no, let me be brutally honest, its downright scummy and R* can suck a fat gangrenous cock. If you ever wanted an example that R* never had any intentions ever of people making legit money and only wanted them to buy Shark Cards thats it. 

They released the game with these odds and now that people are making money off what they okayed before release they alter them? It's f*cking fraud.

I remember looking for them too a couple of days ago. I think you have to wear and then open a jacket via interaction menue and then can find them open in the store again...  ☺

 

 

Isn't that Connie? Nice to see that she has a life outside the bar of the Nightclub.

I can't call in aircraft or hell even my mechanic during casino missions anymore

so who the hell wants to do cashing out now? One of the most difficult shootouts in the game and you get paid only 10k? 

f*ck you c* for limiting everything we can do

Just do it stealth so you don't have to do the shootouts.

 

I start at the far right of the mansion and move around the back to the left, then cut inside leaving the last guy at the front of the house by the camera.

Get armored kuruma before the mission. Problem solved.

The mission on the roof is another matter.

Just don’t use the same computer when you back out, switch to a different one.

It's faster to do with aircraft + enemy helis can f*ck up a kuruma

In-f*cking-credible.

You are not abusing any glitch and yet they skew the Odds and dont even tell people about it. Its f*cking fraud. It cant even be classed as an exploit because you are not doing anything unintended by R* because they okayed the DLC and sent it out without putting off safeguards against it.

And now long before they nerf that and only allow you a certain about of Inside Track bets an hour?

 

My point is that R* can just rewrite the rules when and how they see fit.

I’m sure it will. Enjoy it while you can.

Its know its yelling into the wind but I am utterly disgusted by this. I knew that R* were greedy and sleazy bastard when it came to this game but this is a new level. People found a way to win against an already incredibly rigged game and R* rushed to stop it.

AGAIN... just use my method in Blackjack. It's practically unstoppable and guaranteed money -  and lots of it! Gawd!

Go to Interaction Menu > Style and somewhere down the end of that list you'll have the option to wear jackets closed or open.
