That couldn't be possible. It's not like we have scripted the heli to spawn there. I hope they ban every Bogdan b2b player out there. They are worthless imo. They always have a bum ass facility, they don't help with other heists (they have bogdan) the list goes On and On as that what type of player sits on bogdan... I will stop here.

Well, i never glitched anything in the game, i'm legit as i can be, but, i will not participate in any bogdan heist this week (and it's long time that i don't participate in that heist). I don't want get blame by something i didn't. Also, i'm onoly doing the casino heists with people from my crew that i know they aren't cheaters.

to be honest I'm more interested in the "next evolution" of Heist gameplay than the new location

 

sounds like were getting Heists 2.0, a brand new structure of how to do Heists

I will bet that the casino isn't the main focus of the next dlc, but the history of Duggan will have the ending chapter. It felt inconclusive with casino heists dlc. Agatha don't call you...Duggan don't appear...lester and georgina relationship seems unfinished, like...she kissed him, and then what? They are together now, happily ever after?

Can someone tell me where or why people are coming to the conclusion that R* is going to stop online DLC's for the PS4 and Xbox one?

easy.

the consoles are at their limit.

i mean 15-20fps in full sessions?

or even almost empty sessions?

they are at their limit...and i am certain R* is having issues themselve.

i mean i am certain the devs can´t wait to drop support for the consoles a few months after expanded and enhanced comes out.

finally free of hard limits and stuff they have to tone down bc the consoles would sh*t themselve.

 

oh and the first exclusive update in 2015 was the freemode events update

Yeah i also think that...but the casino heists glitchs arent patched by now? Unless they will categorize the heli escape as a reason to ban..which means, they would need to ban like...90% of the community.

Actual glitches (grab all gold from 1 cart trick, force diamonds trick, etc) have all been patched fairly quickly, the heli is NOT a glitch, like was mentioned in other posts its required to get elite with some of the approaches, it also involves 0 trickery, unlike heli in classic heists, where it can very much be considered a glitch. Casino heist? its there by design, it even despawns and doesnt return if you leave the area.

You have replay old heists, replay doomsday, replay casino glitches at least 

Yeah i'd be very surprised if the 'heist challenge' is not just a way of baiting people who repeat finales, we knew it was coming (they did same for re-release at the time) and it just makes a lot of sense for this to be the bait.

If you have a PS5 you get the standalone version for free.

For the first 3 months, that's the strange bit about the standalone release of gta:o, that they specify "free for the first 3 months on ps5" but give no further details, is that free to keep? or subscription model hint? and how is this gonna work on pc? and xbox? still many uncertainties about what will happen to gta:o in 2021

If you redeem your standalone copy within the first 3 months of the release, it’s free forever, same as if you purchased it. when you get a free game from steam/PSN/live they don’t make you pay for it the month after it’s you get it for free so why would this be any different, you know? I think people are looking too deep into it

Casino Heist, consensus wise among the GTA community is considered the most fun heist right?

Oh yeah, absolutely. They're fantastic for The Heist Challenge, too! Done 15 of them in 4 days, and honestly, I'm just tired of the preps. The finales are amazing every time.

I totally get what you're saying and i really hope you're right, but i'm still somewhat worried, in part because

- Twitch Amazon Optimus Something prime is a form of subscription service that they bolted onto GTA:O recently (while it goes trough a third party and there's plenty to be said about 'not much left over for R* at the bottom line', it IS a subscription service that makes them extra money alongside the shark card stuff, and apparently quite a lot of people make use of it already)

- RDO has a subscription service (its not mandatory, but if you're invested in the game and want access to 'the best items', it kinda is)

While both of those are optional (and thank god for that) i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out they want to push for more subscription services, so there's a chance that they might make 'weird decisions' for the stand-alone version of GTA:O, even if its going to be optional like the current 2 they have, it will be 'more severe' then the 'prime' version we have now, likely more in line with RDO's version (where they put some of the most requested stuff behind a paywall)

And then there's the fact that they introduced a more fleshed out shop in the launcher update, wich would make selling such an extra subscription both easier and more profitable.

That said, obviously idk what will happen either and im just guessing here, plus i highly doubt it would become "if you dont have a subscription you cant play" but again, i wouldn't at all be surprised if they try implement something like what exists in RDO, or something that goes even further (you cannot play the heist that comes after the december one if you're not a member? you cant have a good counter for mk3 bike if you're not a member? etc)

I had no idea what the extent of those tact on prime subscriptions were on GTA/RDRO. I thought it was just a little gimmick to get bonus money but it seems to be more heinous. Yeah I HOPE I’m right but with r* scraping the bottom of the barrel, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for me to be completely wrong.

I don't see them ever making a solo heist.

Maybe a heist that works more like contact missions/survivals? So if one of your teammates dies/leaves you just continue without him. Maybe they'll let you pick up his bag, just like in SP. 

edit:
Imagine a cruise ship or a hotel heist. Every player gets their own floor, they steal as much as they can (maybe the more you steal the slower you move) and if you finish early you can go back and assist your teammates

That's mostly because Rockstar wants us to do the heists with a group or randoms. The problem with that is that most randoms i encounter with heists have the IQ of a melting turd in the sun.

[Insoluble Fiber]

Also it would be cool if we get a QoL update that will give us the option of entering the Arena and CEO vehicle workshops straight away just like regular Paint Shops .. 

 

It's very annoying when you are at full capacity and have to switch vehicles around multiple times. 

 

I mean sure you can just go to LSC but I find it way cooler doing at your private workshop. Hell why not add an additional feature where players that have these personal vehicle workshops lets others players use them!

Twitch Prime is a part of Amazon Prime, and has no relation to Rockstar at all. They get no money from any of those subscriptions. They just allowed bonuses to be given through that service. Like in other online games.

 

It's still possible they would want their own subscription service to get more money, eventually replacing the Twitch Prime benefits with their own sub. It would destroy a bit of good will (since there's a lot of people with Amazon Prime subs who use them for Twitch Prime related things), but it's unlikely to drop their profits.

A turd in the sun doesn't melt, it dries out. You'd know that if you had an average IQ, I'm afraid.

Im sorry but "oh hey you want us to implement your subscription service? sure we will do so for free!" doesn't happen in the corporate world, Amazon pays R* / T2 for this (again, it will be very little, but still, there pretty much has to be money involved) and the same is the case for any game that implements this. Consider these two things:

 

- However you look at it, at the bottom line GTA$ (or whatever virtual currency in whatever game with microtransactions) is worth real world money (because as im sure you are aware, R* / T2 sell in-game money for real money trough shark cards) as a prime customer, you get stuff for free or at a discount, so effectively R* / T2 lose money from this deal, why would they even agree to this deal if it would only mean losing money? That would make no sense at all. Obviously the money Amazon / Twitch pays for this is nowhere near the 'exchange rate' that's charged for players buying shark cards, but at the same time its a bit silly to think that they would just do this for free.

- From Amazon's / Twitch perspective, they want games to implement their service, because its essentially advertisement for the Amazon / Twitch platform (and im sure the hope is that they bind new customers to these platforms trough these 'deals' in games, to some extend they might even be happy to pay more then they receive simply to grow this service for future profits) how would they achieve that? by going "hey guys, we have this service that we charge people money for, could you please implement it for free? thanks!" or would it go more along the lines of "hey guys, if you implement our service we are willing to pay you x amount per user per month!"

 

I mean, yes they are completely disconnected from R* and i get how this could be a little confusing, because once again, that prime subscription money isn't a whole lot per user and has to be squeezed to the extreme, so it might only be mere pennies per user for R* / T2, but still, that's money. Having said that, its important to realize that not every prime user watches every show / plays every game, so it might actually be more profitable for games then we would expect at first glance, its not like they have to split that 2.99 between the 20-30 deals of that month, its more likely that an average user will go for 3-4 of the deals, and its not weird to assume that there are contracts where the game devs/publishers have to share details with Amazon / Twitch, wich then defines how much of that user's subscription fee goes to the game in question. Suddenly its not so little money anymore.

Again, i kind of get where you're coming from, but just no, there's no way this kind of thing is done as a friendly gesture of some sorts, there is money involved for sure.
