I haven’t played since the PS3 I imagine it’s an entirely different game by now.Wow this thread is completely dead. I played the game for the first time since...like September 2021...today and had fun. They've made some good QOL updates in the past 2 years. The biggest among these being the ability to do all sales missions in an invite-only session. Not only that, the Nightclub safe has more than tripled in capacity, there is a lot more variety of Nightclub activities, you can now do Taxi driving missions (that don't have some dumb catch). Basically the "persistent" game world is a lot lower stress and a lot more engaging now - you can effectively play most of it by yourself. My favorite part of this game was always (at least since it got introduced) the Nightclub and so I'm pretty happy it's been given some updates. If you haven't played in a long time, might be worth hopping in to relive it.
I finally gave in and bought this on Friday. I must have had a slow connection because it didn't finish downloading until Sunday morning. I managed to get a couple hours of game play in. Just getting used to the controls and driving physics. I'm starting as a biker with a weed farm. The size of the game is a little intimidating. And I've never been good with shooters. I'm just a terrible shot in video games. Still, it looks fun so far. I'm especially looking forward to getting to know the map better.
On a side note, I'm going to have to get some external storage for my XBox Series S. It has 265Gb storage. I've only got FM7, FH5, and GTA Online on it, and it's at 98.8% capacity.
Exactly what I was thinking. Does anyone here have that $6/mo pass thing? Is it worth it?What a rotten bit of luck to start playing @Populuxe. Hopefully, Rockstar realizes what they've done & reverses or clarifies exactly how they intend to bring these back.
I get the feeling Simeon's Premium deluxe dealership might get it's own website for all the vehicles that were removed.Hopefully, Rockstar realizes what they've done & reverses or clarifies exactly how they intend to bring these back.
I haven't been paying too much attention to the GTA Online scene anymore, but Broughy's recent video summarizes all the negative changes that came with the most recent update
Other than the removal of over 100 cars, another major change they made was remove access to some of the props in the job creator so that if a job previously had a prop, it now becomes a generic blue fence. This not only broke community created jobs, but also some Rockstar original jobs
It's insane to me that they would make so many player-hostile changes to the game. They make these major changes without even testing or verifying if there are any side effects.
It's understandable that they have to make some changes to the game since the player base is probably dwindling, but so many of these changes just make me want to play the game even less. Are people actually paying for the GTA+ subscription? Do these changes actually increase subscriber count? The base experience seems so awful, that I can't see how putting more things behind a paywall would make it desirable
This is all bad. But I think it might be good in the long run.I don't know how to reply to this, but my take on this DLC is that there are a few suits in T2 Interactive that decided that the way things are now is not how they see GTA Online functioning. I understand more time and resources are being put into the eventual GTA6 release, but that doesn't mean GTA Online should get left behind like this. Apart from pushing people to get GTA+, there was no conceivable reason that I can think of regarding why all those cars had to be removed from the shops. Regardless of what the overall intent of this update was, it's either inadvertently or intentionally (one of the two, and no in-between) ruined GTAO for many people, myself included.
You could almost reasonably believe that R*, over the past few years and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, developed a severe apathy for anyone who didn't participate in Freeroam PvP, for anyone who liked the stunt races (to the point where they've broken their own stunt races by reprogramming how props are handled in the creator), and for...let's face it...anyone who's interested in upholding professional conduct in a game overrun by scumbags who, for the past ten years, have only seeked personal fame at the expense of everyone around them.
Sure, they've made it so that you can sell from your businesses in Invite-Only Sessions which all but renders it a single-player game, but what has doing that really done? I have nothing to spend my money on now, because almost all of my favorite cars that I could have bought through the websites are now behind the GTA+ paywall. And because I have nothing to spend my money on, I have no reason to play GTA Online normally. And because I have no reason to play GTA Online normally, I seem to turn exclusively to modding single player. And when I get bored of doing that, I turn to FiveM. And when I get bored of FiveM, I'm going to find that...yes, I DO have other games I can play instead.
What an absolute shame that no one who plays GTA Online for seven days a week, making other people's lives within that game as miserable as possible, seems to realize that other games have the simple virtue of co-existing alongside their chosen idol. And even the griefers, the DDOS'ers, the stalkers, the malicious modders, the hackers, the trash-talkers, the rammers, the sorest of sore losers and those who actively seek to make heist crews worse...collectively, as a conceited effort to ruin this game populated by tens of millions, couldn't hope to do a fraction of the damage to GTA Online that R* just did. Granted, it might not even be R*'s whole fault, because I think this was an order that came from a higher-up working for Strauss Zelnick.
By overhauling the system, they've destroyed it. I don't know if it this system is fixable, and if it is...I have no faith that Rockstar Games are going to be remotely interested in taking the first step in fixing it.
It might be too early to call, but I'm going to go ahead and say this, and do bear in mind that this is me talking and no one else: Because of the unnecessarily drastic actions that Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have taken with this new DLC, Grand Theft Auto Online is officially F.U.B.A.R.
I'd get a nightclub. Fun and a good source of income.I screwed up and traded in my Penumbra to get the Vapid Clique, not realizing the Penumbra was one of the removed cars. I did get a couple of the removed cars from the Premium Deluxe dealership. The Schuyster Deviant and Vapid Blade.

I need to figure out how to take better photos in game. Right now I’m just turning off the radar and taking a screenshot while looking at the car through my character’s eyes.
I’m still having trouble coming to grips with the steering in the game. It feels like there’s an aggressive self-centering, almost like auto-steering, and it’s messing with my steering inputs.
Any suggestions for what I should do to earn money? Right now I have a daily routine of raiding a stash house to keep my weed farm supplied, regularly selling my weed, doing the Junk energy drink time trial, searching for G’s Cache, and taking a turn at the wheel of fortune in the Casino.
6m is peanuts in GTA and spending money can open quite the rabbit hole. There's multiple ways of cashing out big in the game if you have the patience to set up and farm your businesses or complete certain heists.Exactly what I was thinking. Does anyone here have that $6/mo pass thing? Is it worth it?
This week is 2x on Biker Businesses, so keeping up with your weed will help you. 40% off Clubhouses + Upgrades, Business Supplies, Business Properties & their Upgrades should help you out. If you can, get the Cocaine & the Meth as they are the best Biker Businesses.I screwed up and traded in my Penumbra to get the Vapid Clique, not realizing the Penumbra was one of the removed cars.

What car(s)? I know the majority of the cars inside out. GTA is notorious for having a wide range of handling models, so you have to know each car to fully comprehend what they're about to do.I’m still having trouble coming to grips with the steering in the game.

I think you can use your character's phone to take pictures and they will be uploaded to your Rockstar Social Club account, not sure about resolution though.I need to figure out how to take better photos in game.

I have the same problem, it's just kind of a GTA thing. Personally I felt the handling was much nicer on the 360 version and I actually enjoyed driving some cars there and was fairly quick in racing with Broughy's NoDo crew, but then after changing to the XB1 version it felt even more sensitive and I constantly over-correct slides in the looser handling cars, which used to be my favorites in the 360 version... Meaning yeah I don't enjoy the driving much anymore.I’m still having trouble coming to grips with the steering in the game.

Becoming a VIP/CEO and doing some of those missions is easy and quick once you have a few of the right tools, like a weaponized helicopter or car with missiles. The one called "Headhunter" is the one most people do, with a Buzzard or similar you can do it for $20k-ish in 3 or 4 minutes, but the one called "Sightseer" pays similar and has you exploring the map with no one chasing you or trying to kill you and a pretty relaxed time limit, so you can just drive whatever car you enjoy for it. Good things to mix into your routine for some variety.Any suggestions for what I should do to earn money?

I mean, they've allowed us to port the character over twice now across the console generations, I guess they could just as easily port them again with updated appearance options.I wonder if Rockstar is planning to roll your GTA V online character into the GTA VI online world - or at least allow the possibility. I'm not sure if I would want to or not, but it might be nice.
