Hits but not homeruns by Rockstar

Not a complaint thread, just one where we can express our ideas about how the good things they have added to the game could have been great.

 

I’ll start with the Casino.  To me, a casino in the hands of criminals would be the perfect place to launder illegal income.  They should have tied all our businesses in with the casino.  Profits on all your businesses should be higher if you buy into the Casino.  We should have been able to run all our businesses from the Penthouse suite.

doomsday heists. i'm not talking about exploiting it. if you do it legit, preps just kill it, they should've been one time thing. on top of that, many setups have some mechanics, which intentionally prolong them to unnecessary durations just for the sake of prolonging..

arena wars. this is just plain broken. no custom cars = no weapons. and all but one game modes have custom vehicles on with broken balance system. or  you have option to buy upgrades in a lobby. just why? this would at least make sense if arena upgrades would work like mk2 weapon upgrades, once you buy them all, you can reconfigure any time for free. or let people actually try them out for free while in arena.

Adding the Oppressor MkII was a good idea, but it could have been great if they never did.

Benches.

 

Good they're in the game. Would have been great if we could sit on them.

FTFY.

 

Anyways, After Hours would have been way better if it truly was a business consilidation update.

 

- You should be able to run and sell crates as an MC and you should be able yo resupply and sell your businesses as a CEO.

- The Nightclub Warehouse should have been an actual warehouse that you fill up with stock from your other businesses, instead of being a business that makes stock from other businesses by doing nothing.

- All kinds of cargo and supplies should have been able to steal from other players, also all cargo, supply and sale vehicles should be inmune to lock-ons from Homing Missiles.

- The Terrorbyte should have be able to check and buy supplies for our businesses. Also, you should be able to store any bike inside of it instead of only the Oppresor Mk II.

- The Oppresor Mk II should never have been a thing and if it did anyway, its upgrades shouldn't have been locked behind pointless paywalls (Nightclub > Terrorbyte > Workshop) when both the MOC, the Avenger and eventually the Arena Workshop are a thing.

- Tequila-La, Bahamas Mamas and several other bars and clubs should have been open to the players in addition to our own Nightclubs.

- The B-11 Strikeforce should be the complete opposite of what it currently is.

- You should be able to bring cargo from Business Battles to their respective businesses instead of only the Nightclub.

 

IMO, After Hours was the most dissapointing update ever, it could have been way better.

IMO, the biggest flaw with The Doomsday Heist is that you need to buy a Facility in order to play them by yourself, when being able to run them through any of your High End Apartments like the older Heists would have been just fine. R* just trying to reinvent the wheel every time in order to make us spend money for the sake of it.

 

The only Facility in the map should have been the one under the satelite dishes in Blaine County. Vehicles like the Khanjali and the Chernobog could have been either Hangar exclusive vehicles or Pegassis vehicles and the Orbital Cannon should have been exclusive to the Act 3 Finale.

or facility should've been released with gunrunning update and be a current bunker. with doomsday extension coming later. cause current bunker seems just like some damn cave. it would have more functionality now and everything  would be a bit more combined in a single space. both of them were released same year, so r* really could've thought it out better.

Guns. Make them actually different and they would be great.

Exactly, most weapons are either redundant or obsolete because of better ones.

 

Like, the Assault Rifle doesn't have any right being as weak as it currently is, assault rifles shouldn't be better at close quarters combat than SMGs and the Combat MG should have some heavy recoil instead of being laser accurate.

 

And don't get me started on how the Pistol. 50 is way weaker than the Heavy Revolver.

 

Also, aside from Drum Mags, most attachments have pros but not cons at all, making them crutches if you want to have a better gun overall. Also, some weapons like shotguns, SMGs and MGs lack several of them, putting them at a disadvantage against those who can put all attachments.

 

Weapons are a hot mess on this game, which is funny because shooting is half the things we do, the other half is driving (or flying in modern GTAO).

I agree with everything but that After Hours was disappointing.

It was a couple of steps in the right direction, but not far enough.

TerrorByte should have been able to house and mod the MkI, MkII, or the Thruster, player's choice and the dependent module purchased appropriately so you couldn't switch without reconfiguration.

 

Arena Wars had nothing but some nice cars for PvE players. Total waste.

I still haven't played an arena mode to this day, never will.

 

Casino should have reasonable odds while gambling like they were at the start, not the obvious cheating that infests the tables now, and video horse racing is about as boring a thing anyone could imagine.

Now, it's just an apartment with a public lobby and a wheel.

Could have been so much more.

 

And we still haven't got one working pool table in all of the map!   FFS!

Can't fathom why my special carbine jumps around all over the place but the combat MG has virtually no recoil/spread.

R* = no logic.

The problem with most add-ons you are basically a pee-on instead of the boss. So you have to do the pee-on jobs instead of the boss jobs. Also not allowed to hire anyone to do the pee-on jobs for you. Or have equipment from back in the 90's that could simply transfer your money to your account, instead of being forced to collect it yourself.

Why cant we purchase supplies from the terrabyte? Or even the clubhouse?

This is basically just another wishlist thread, please use one of the pinned ones.

 

Thanks!
