The Blast Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ When THIS happens. When mutha f*ckas are making dual-Pegasus chariot shipments of Cripps-made Moonshine, we will finally reach the Oppressor Rat-F*ck bike chaos (the Bunker update) that finally KO'd GTAO as a slightly reasonable PvP game.

theEwing1979 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I don't think we'll see it get GTA ridiculous. Some of the stuff that I've seen predicted on this topic will of course make its way into the game. I have nothing against the wacky coloured clothing, it's not for me but others wearing it doesn't really ruin the game for me too much. Hot air balloon? I wouldn't waste my money on one. I fancy my chances of picking off the explosive throwing pilot with my rifle. I think it would be a novelty item and I think that novelty would wear off quickly for most people. The cart with the gun on the back worries me the most, it would be purely a griefing tool. If that got added I would like to think it would be very slow and heavy and the ammo would be very limited.

Gtaman_92 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Give it about 2 to 3 years and pretty soon we will have flying horses, the ability to control animals, hot air balloons equipped with maxim guns and gliders. It looks like they are already testing the waters by adding those pink puffy jackets and weird colored shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehweh01 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Title should be "When Will RDO Become Too Ridiculous?" I think we're already there. Without player feedback the game began with the ability to buy pamphlets to unlock EXPLOSIVE AMMO. It took GTAO years to get to this point. Even then, GTAO has only 1 gun that gets 10 explosive ammo + aim assist. Compare this to RDO that has 50 explosive ammo + aim assist on EVERYTHING! This isn't counting the Dynamite Arrows that also has aim assist. Oh you're using Slippery Bastard? Guess I'll have to turn on Paint It Black so I NEVER MISS. This game's PVP is trash yet some ppl like it so I guess one person's trash is another person's treasure.

I'm not going to disagree with you. When I said KO'd I really meant it. That wasn't to say it didn't have horrendous ridiculousness before that. My point is that the true, undeniably blinding madness sunk in to full batsh*t insane with the introduction of the Oppressor.

RDRO on the other hand seems to be heading in the GTA direction, if not already. We already have explosive ammo for just about all the guns. Ability cards when added with Tonics, can make someone look like they are using God Mode hacks. Plus continuous bugs that plague the game already. So how long till this becomes GTAO Old West Edition? By that I mean Hot Air balloons that has lock-on Dynamite Arrows, and horses with Duel Mounted mini-guns. Or ability cards that allow us to train Grizzlies, and Wolves to maul other players. I'll stop right there. If they would limit the tonics like they do the explosive rounds, it would tame it down a bit. The fact that one pamphlet and a bunch of duck hunting will yield you 40 rounds of explosive ammo spread across 4 guns is a bit OP. Plus two more pamplets gets you 10 more explosive rounds and 8 dynamite arrows. But the difference is that they are time consuming to make unless you’re a consistent free roam Hunter (which I am, and I get straight PvPers whining all the time how I never seem to run out of explosive rounds in matches....well duh, I usually have a full set and have 20 fats ready to make more if need be). So there is a bit of dedication to always have it. On the other hand - the amount of tonics you can carry is absolutely insane. 30 potent, 30 special, etc etc...of each one. Playing old school text RPG’s - nobody liked quaffers. That needs to be toned down even more. This isn’t that insane, because at least with ammo you run out fairly quickly. Potio———errrr, tonics though need a break. On 10/16/2019 at 7:30 PM, wehweh01 said: Title should be "When Will RDO Become Too Ridiculous?" I think we're already there.

Foxwolfe Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Admittedly I haven't tested it myself anytime recently, but before they nerfed SB I had it equipped one time doing a gang hideout in Rio Bravo and these guys come rolling up on me out of nowhere and decided they wanted the hideout I guess so after I took one of them down all three were on me and I kept getting killed with double barrels from 20+ yards out while I was in dead eye and they were also in dead eye. Wasn't a fun encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Algerian Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 On 10/12/2019 at 7:25 PM, Assblaster said: Yet this game has a strong core of mature players -- not just age-wise but mental maturity -- who love the genre and don't want it to become a GTA clone in a simpler era. Rockstar would be insane to alienate this solid base of players even more than they have with ridiculous ability cards and nitro-bullets. That's why I don't think we'll be going further down that route. They'd be stupid to take a chance on losing players on the slight chance they might attract a few less mature-minded players -- because those players just don't find this slower-paced, less technological world appealing. They want a game that gives them nonstop action, explosives, and speed. Two separate player-bases here in GTA and RDO. That's why I think this game will continue to grow in a good way. At least I have reason to think so. Hah! You're wildly overestimating Rockstar and overlooking the fact that the people who are in charge of the online mode and the ones who were in charge the singleplayer are absolutely not the same. This online Rockstar very much is completely stupid enough to do every single thing you said. They're the kind of folks who think they should be more like Fortnite and/or CoD if they want their game to be successful.

Coleco Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Agreed. Those masks are just the kind of thing I was hoping would be left in GTAO. What's the point of having a game with a strong leaning toward relative authenticity and decent atmosphere if you're gonna muddy the waters with Clownshoes 101 garbage within a year of release.

Caffeination Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) What's the deal with Rockstar's obsessive fascination towards masks? Anytime they update GTA Online, you can guarantee they added at least five mask designs, and with three dozen color variations for each one of said masks. If you couple the new masks with the recently-added bright pastel clothing, then the future's looking grim, at least in the fashion department.

ghostsoap01 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Private lobbies! I remember really B&M'ing about them here back in the beta days. We still need them! Perhaps for different reasons now though, given the griefing has gotten less bad over time.

Commander S Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 This is why I can't get too optimistic about things like Collector and Bounty Hunter being pretty decent - those roles feel more like 2013-2014 GTAO in terms of adding stuff that can be done solo, and feels like a good fit for the world (bit like the old Freemode activities like armoured trucks, and the original contact missions). But at the same time, you've got the more subtle rot that set in with GTAO around 2016 with things like Finance and Felony: clothing became increasingly gimmicky (or just cheap, gaudy colour swaps of existing stuff), rather than the early stuff that had more utility in terms of creating varied, realistic outfits. And the main focus of gameplay increasingly narrowed down to 'add this property to your portfolio, and spend hours going back and forth doing delivery work in public sessions' - which we've just seen added with Trader. So yeah, I don't think we'll ever see weaponised Pegasus/unicorn mounts, or anything equivalent to Depressors/Deluxos (although there are already gatling wagons and the War Wagon in-game, so I think it's definitely just a matter of time before R* starts selling those to players) - instead, I think that we're already looking at the thin end of the wedge, and we're going to see freedom in role-playing diminish (i.e., everyone does All The Things, and we're all expected to be Leviticus Cornwall eventually), and cosmetics turn into vaguely old-timey cowboy-ish versions of Fortnite unlockables (look at the Outlaw Pass cosmetics, already), rather than stuff that makes for good, period-authentic outfit pieces. I guess it's just a matter of seeing how much that plays out with the next update - but considering how GTAO's mutated over the years, I'm inclined to think it's a matter of when, rather than if... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1898, Petko, tonko and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
