What is everyone's sense of the update so far? Meaningfully new gameplay? I'm probably not gonna play it before Saturday.

It was fun setting up the nightclub but once that’s done it’s just a case of focusing back on the MC businesses and CEO cargo and waiting for the club to build up its own supplies.

The cars are a mixed bag.

I like the Jester Classic a lot and the Swinger is pretty fun too.

The custom trucks are awful if you plan to use them in free mode. They all blow up in one hit and the Armor plating upgrayde is purely cosmetic. Apparantly they are more resilient in sales but I haven’t seen any evidence of that thus far.

The festival bus is slow as hell and serves no real use

Dancing in random people’s clubs is fun. At least for now.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

I'm liking that it looks like there are new places to become intoxicated and hang out and new stuff to spend money on. That's about it.

Rather indifferent to it all. Will play round a bit this evening.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

People found out that this update allows you to spawn into your vehicle warehouse.

Best feature before the Terabyte's ability to supply your businesses on the move.

I was wondering when you’d say that.

I’ve been getting wasted at the clubs to see where my character respawns at. So far he’s reappeared in a nightclub stall, at a hospital, and underneath the boardwalk at Vespucci.

If I read correctly, one of the whiskey shots is basically one-and-done and that’s when you’ll end up somewhere else.

Also 6 figure drink available.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Some more findings:

The Terabyte is another 'MOC', with its own cab to EXCLUSIVELY upgrade dripfeed vehicles including Oppressor Mk2.

Handling flags from the last update's cars still remain.

You can get thrown out of a nightclub, which is really hilarious.

Gay Tony drove all the way from Liberty City, since you have access to his car in missions (which has the Soviet Connection horn, no doubt)

I'm going to find out what's what when mod menus work again.

I called the Mach Five several months ago. I wonder how expensive it will be, and what special abilities Rockstar have included.

Judging by one video, it jumps, boosts, has machine guns, and non-homing rockets. Not sure if homing was there, didn’t see the guy switch to it or what upgrades it’ll have in the special vehicle shop.

According to Foxy, it’ll cost $3.48m-$4.628.4m

..having just tested this out (fully knowing that this is @Marcus Garvey territory I'm encroaching on), yes, that seems to be the case.

Really, when all's said and done about the profitability of things, the nightclub's a neat enough place to have. It alone doesn't millions make, but it's kinda cool. Also 31 extra garage spaces are always helpful.

What class is the Swinger in? The cost looks way too low for it to be a super.

I think it’s a Sports Classic

 

[rallymorten]

The cost looks way too low for it to be a super.

That'll be because it isn't a Super. It's a Sports Classics.

Much like how the Jester Classic has been moved to Sports and, from initial gut feelings, feels not half bad. Of course, I'm no Broughy, so I'm expecting to be proven wrong at any moment.

 

[Sage Ages]

I'm surprised they went out of their way to redo the Jester model. I figured they'd just fix the missing headlight glass and taillight mount point.

 

[Nuschel01]

I just spent the 4.1 million I had earlier on a club, all 5 warehouse floors and some garage space and now I‘m broke I had 7 million before last week when I decided to buy the Avenger at it‘ discount thinking the nightclubs should be obtainable with >4 million now I need to raise another 3.5 to buy the Terrorbyte..
At least @Flash_Sweden seems to not mind helping me with supply runs this time he even picked up a humane labs van

 

[pokemonfan58]

Don't think anyone has posted this yet but...

It seems like our professional outfit buddy is back in Los Santos doing some illicit activities.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Going back to the random respawning after you pass out from drinking, one of the respawns is on top of the Epsilon building, and when you come to, you'll be wearing white shoes, blue jeans, and a "Kifflom!" T-shirt that is unlocked and in your inventory. Fun hidden suprise. 👍

Did they steal your face too?

Leaked Futo liveries

I didn't except a Rolling Guy reference so much that I've looked past the name of the Rolling Dude No.7 livery

Holy 🤬 Rockstar actually acknowledges Tokyo Xtreme Racer's existence?

Also sorry for throwing a slight spoiler.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Rolling Guy?!

Definitely getting that. How awesome would a TXR-esque freeway racer update be?

Besides the Rolling Guy reference, are any of these liveries based on real-life designs?

 

[Sage Ages]

I like that we can remove the default decals on the Futo. Hopefully it's the same with the other cars with liveries.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Question for anyone whos done Vehical Exports recently, I just need to have every standard and midrange car, then I can source all high end cars, correct?

I have this top range T20 in there that I must have forgotten about; wanna make sure I can export it without screwing anything up.

Otherwise, yay! Free and unknown $100k!

Out of the ones I recognize, the Karin Rally Team I can interpret as something along the lines of the older Toyota racecars

And the Legendary Racer livery directly below is unmistakably

And if we wanna be specific, the Rolling Dude livery is directly this

Regarding I/E sales, get one of every car(sell any dupes) which’ll take you to 80% storage or 32 cars, then only sell High end cars from there on after unless you’re doing a collection sale.

After selling a high end car, the one you sold will pop up as your next sourced vehicle every time.

Rinse and repeat till bored or financially satisfied.

Collect the 10 low end, & 10 middle end cars, sell any Top End cars you source; no need to keep any of the Top Ends unless you don't want the game to give you certain ones anymore (in my case, I kept the Roosevelt and Z-Type to avoid getting them again).

 

[JR98]

Some quick math reveals that the nightclubs pay out a MAXIMUM of $37,570 per hour. That's with all 5 technicians on the most profitable businesses not including any supplies gathered from Business Battles.

Compared to other businesses it really is quite crap since I'm pretty sure every other type of business pays far better.

 

[Sage Ages]

Eh. It's a supplementary business if anything.

 

[rallymorten]

..if we're comparing the Nightclub to, say, the Biker Businesses without any upgrades whatsoever, then.. maybe? I guess it depends on whether or not you've upgraded your Nightclub, in which case why wouldn't you upgrade the Cocaine Lockup instead?

If we're comparing it to fully upgraded BB's, however, a quick and dirty guestimate puts it somewhere between Counterfeit Cash and Meth Lab. Document Forgery is basically a waste of time, Weed Farm just about manages to break even, and Cocaine Lockup is Glory Greatest Business. Then, of course, there's the Bunker and all the active ways of making money.

In terms of being able to do (some bits of) this in a private session, however.. no, Sightseer/Headhunter is still better.

It's very much a thing you buy for the experience. Or the additional garage space.
