@250 GTO word of the mean streets of Los Santos is that you may have bought a tug?

 

[STI9]

FMJ as fast as an Adder.

I may have. I quit the game shortly after having bought it though. So whether or not it's still there won't be answered until I get back online on Sunday ☺

 

[Crumpet]

I just purchased this game for the 3rd time on the PlayStation 4.

I'm going to be level 5 again and people are going to beat me up.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

So far, the FMJ is the current people's champ of the current DLC. Everyone seems to like it, and it has it's place in competition.

My take: a cheaper, 2WD Osiris that's almost as good is an automatic winner.

Money isn't very hard to come by nowadays. The game now sits at the spot where you don't grind, rather you invest time and effort to get what you want.

Isn't that the definition of grinding in video games?

Grinding implies that the gameplay its repetitive and boring. You can play GTA for hours without it being boring. To be honest I think GTA is one of those games that is only fun now if you have people to play with. Solo'ing this game seems completely pointless.

Well since I'm pretty much the only one left on ps3 I guess I should just stop then.

So, I hate to break it to you, but..

Spoiler

What can I say? Hmm... There are some surprises. Some crying. Some praise.
I was going to do like what I did with the Lowriders Classics part 2, but I'm just afraid some people might not like early spoilers.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

God those are all ugly. I'm really disappointed. I was hoping the 918 replica would be pretty nice.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

There is something of the X80 Proto that might change your mind.

Hint: it rhymes with cross bun.

You could have used spoiler tags.

 

[Dennisch]

Am I the only who doesn't care at all about yet another bunch of supercars?

Any speculation to when these cars will be released?

 

[STI9]

Nope. I was hoping with the stunt pack stuff that we would get a bunch of other stuff. Somebody suggested a modded BF Injection as it kinda looks like stunt-ish.
I would just like a bunch of regular cars with half decent customisation like the Uranus or Feroci.

ughhhhhh the 811 is so narrow and tall

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

The only thing that interests me about this update is the tugboat.

Rockstar has managed to take the romantic concept of a high level crimelord and make it feel like a 9-5 office job. It's ironic to me that the gameplay premise is based on breaking the law, but only as long as you are following the rules. At this point I almost wish they would give an option for 'legitimate' money making. It would at least fit within the weird structural framework of online play.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Spoiler: Dewbauchee Seven-70

Great.. just a more expensive, less customizable Massacro. But maybe more?

RWD, 124 MPH estimate.
Only customization options are spoiler, exhaust and side skirts.
Similar, but beefier sound than the Massacro.
No secondary paint.
Very similar to the Massacro, but performance wise: has better straight line but worse in the turns. Good traction for 2WD car.

Spoiler: Pfister 811

The 918 we all needed, but melded with Spania GTA Spano.

4WD, 128 MPH estimate. Not a typo: it's really fast.
Has many options for front bumper, but only one for rear.
Similar roof options to the Coquette: Carbon, yes or no.
Only one spoiler option: making it painted (???)
Exhaust: 3. Two 918 styled (carbon or painted hood), or underneath the back end.
Secondary paint is the black on the roof area.
Is faster and I think all around better than the Adder (RIP). Handling can be a bit tight for track racing.

Spoiler: Grotti X80 Proto

It's what they say: the super to kill all supers.. but not without some flaws.

4WD, 125 MPH estimate.
Launch acceleration and 5th gear are abnormally high for a super. Loses some power in higher revs.
Has some customization tools. Spoilers are similar to the Banshee 900R. Can add little bumpers similar to the Osiris. Only one exhaust change: adding a small metal bar in between (REALLY LAZY).
Secondary paint is the black around the body kit.
Similar interior to the FMJ.
If you turn the car pretty tight, it will lose more speed than that of a T20. Handling wise, T20 is more balanced. It also has a lesser variant of the Infernus' snap oversteer.
The exhaust sound is excellent, especially the backfire sound being that similar of a track car.

 

[Crumpet]

I think there's more Sports and Supercars than everything else at this point.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

If not a super/sports, so far the Rumpo Custom has been impressing me.

#SPDIsHypocrite

 

[Dan]

At this point, I'm surprised they haven't made a Super Adder. Slap on a ridiculous price, give it performance that will completely destroy the Supers class, and top it off with a bulletproof rear, just to really attract the idiot kids who would want something like this.

Here's an even worse idea: Make it Shark Card-exclusive. A moderately expensive Shark Card, perhaps.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Aside from the Seven-70, I'm pretty much done for this DLC. I just need to sell 2 cars for that and the Rumpo Custom ever since I found out how it is armored.

I'm also looking at that Tug.

 

[Sting]

If anyone gets a Tug then it is required that you show me it in game.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

My most favorite car in the current update is the XLS SUV. It looks so generic. I love it.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

So, I'm in my modded game driving a fully modified X80 Proto in an empty city.

It's the candidate for most disappointing purchase ever. Every high speed corner my Osiris and FMJ can handle nice, it skids.

I shaked it off, but then it seemed to happen again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

The turning is too damn sensitive! I could make 3 paragraphs of angry ranting regarding how bad the X80 is in a track setting. It actually needed those extra numbers ahead of the T20, because it's so gosh durned flawed! You have to control the throttle power: something not every player has in their fingertips.

Super killer my butt..


EDIT: More salt to the wound. I brought out the T20.

And while it has it's issues, it is not as glaring as the X80. In fact: I sort of fell in love with it, and whenever a 6th garage appears, I'll be getting one.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

Tug was the first thing I bought. Possibly my favourite transport in game now. I'm not usually on until later in the evening, however.

 

[Aggserp4]

I know quite a few people, including me, who play on PS3 on this forum. You're not alone, friend.

I'm actually considering to create another character on my PS3. Just for fun

Doesn't sound like much fun.
