day 1 content.

 

destiny is already dripfeeding their content, i don‘t need that in gta online too. 1 game dripfeeding stuff is already enough (and annoying) for me.

 

wish they would just release everything day 1, i can already see some amazing cars being released in like 3 months because of dripfeed (like with the 10f)

I feel like drip feeding is about expectations. Its poor to hype the community up with a bunch of content only to slowly release it over a long period of time like its a tease, but I think surprise content or content announced each week is exciting and keeps things fresh.

I remember back in the day people excused dripfeeding by saying that "most of the community has no way to know these vehicles are in the game files".

Then R* started to dripfeed vehicles that they shown in trailers or let you drive in the update's missions

Happy DLC day! We've all come a long way

Drip feeding content just says to me that you don't have enough content or content drops. Said it a few times before but look at games like No Man's Sky and Sea of Thieves. All their content on day one with regular, at one point monthly in Sea of Thieves.

I think it conflicts too much. On a surface level, it should keep things fresh and interesting. But for convenience and to keep things running smoothly, they have to release updates the way they're currently doing which allows anyone with a computer to dig into the files and reveal all unreleased content. That does put a damper on everything. This was also the case with Forza. Forza car packs used to be so fun until they adopted the dripfeed model. And then the same thing happened, and then people gained early access via auction house, etc. As a result, lots of people get bored, impatient or remain uninterested. There were periods where I forgot Forza was still adding stuff, and when I found out I didn't get excited. I think in short, this only works for the most casual of gamers. Like not even regular GTA players, only those who genuinely do not know wtf is going on ever. But they're the type to not even play the game for months or for short stints if they do to begin with.

 

I remain a staunch believer that releasing everything at once is better. Playing with 20 new cars amongst other things at first is overwhelmingly fun and takes a while to get bored of and I am someone who does get bored easily. It's far more exciting than waking up day one to a few cars, wondering when the car you really want is going to release, dealing with weeks where Rockstar plays stupid games and decides to drop nothing, and then when the car is finally out you've already seen so many pictures and videos of it that it is hardly fresh to begin with.

I could see them reusing the Biker Clubhouse interior/s. Just have the B6x6 parked where your bikes go.

Dripfeed have pros and cons. I got enough time to get enough money to prepare for a new car. But I can also be disappointed to see the one I want is the last one to be released. Also Rockstars sometimes do make a whole week extreamly boring because of the challenges, contents or discounts of that week. It's the same as battlepass, you can't really say that it's totally garbage but it really isn't that necessary. TBH if the drip becomes "stream"feed it will be much better, more content each week. But haha of course they want less works and they dont want to worry about lack of content between two DLC updates.

honestly, i don't have a huuuge issue with dripfeeding. although i prefer everything at once, dripfeed isn't something that really grinds my gears (unless it's something ridiculous like how they dripfed the DJs during after hours)

[DODI3OG]

so, 30 mins from now?

You would think TGG knows DLC release times by now given he is solely GTA Online YouTuber

It's not that bad if it's contained in the desert, Liberty City is a concrete jungle and has a lot of places to hide a collectible.

[bitoisgod]

less than 90 minutes till the DLC, i love this feeling

Well DLC in the past always release in about 20 min from now in my timezone. Or might because of the stoopid DST thing which I can never get used to.

As long as they are not all hiding behind a random cactus or between random stones.

Where are people getting ninety minutes from? Updates don't normally drop, for me at least on Xbox, until mid after noon which is like six hours from now.

What? how come? I always sit in front of my laptop and wait for each update happily around this time

TGGs map got some timezones wrong because some parts of the world don't use daylight savings. We don't use them here in Bahrain (same timezone as Riyadh) and on his map it said 10am UK 12pm Riyadh but in the winter 10am UK time is 1pm Riyadh time.

 

Just hang in there everyone we're almost there.
