Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V12 - GTA Online: We Have a Hacking Problem - Games

[QUOTE=JerryAnderson;52605800]I just got (fairly) lucky with the research. I now have the rockets for the Oppressor, and the rockets for the Tampa in addition to the dual miniguns. Should I just pack in the research now and get an Oppressor/Tampa or keep going?[/QUOTE] Given how the research system is designed to make people spend money on fast tracking, I wouldn't expect Rockstar to abandon it in future updates. It might be worth getting everything out of the way just in case they decide to add more research projects in another update.

wait you have to pay utilities when your on line :thinking:

[QUOTE=mastfire;52607066]wait you have to pay utilities when your on line :thinking:[/QUOTE] If you own any property in GTAO, you'll be charged every in game day or so. It usually isn't too much of an issue unless you're really low on money or if you own some of the more expensive things like yachts, businesses, or bunkers. The latter two of the expensive properties I listed only charge you when you're an active CEO/MC president though.

It's like $20000 every in-game day for me, but I own all the stuff.

All those classic planes. I hope we can fly the Me-163 seen at the start, I didn't notice it in later footage. [video=youtube;KI1ukKxPsGc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI1ukKxPsGc&feature=em-uploademail[/video]

I get that we were getting an update soon given the qabeta updates, but I wasn't expecting next week. At least we're finally getting the fucking Hunter.

[QUOTE=Gatekeeper828;52607749]At least we're finally getting the fucking Hunter.[/QUOTE] They've changed the design if you look closely. Notably the tail router. Edit: Oh wait, never mind, this design shows up in the 'Simian' trailer. There is a 2nd, more Apache looking design in other ingame videos.

looks like they're focusing on airplanes i was hoping for smuggler buggies

I really hope that they don't focus solely on special cargo crates on the new update. You'd have to shoot me to get me to actually grind crates, fancy airplanes or not. That aside, there's a whole shitload of new planes. I think I saw an La-15, an Me-163(with a prop on the end????????) and something else that I almost thought was a Catalina. It seems like there's a bunch more tactic00l shit being added as well. I saw some sort of helmet included with the NVGs someone was wearing, and that vest may or may not already exist.

Posted in the videos thread, but it's kinda more of the same, same gameplay mechanic they did with CEO stuff and relentlessly copied when they realised how successful it was, same power creep with new expensive toys, same pit of money to fill. Some people will be happy with the new vehicles though, but that's all it'll really bring. Alright I guess, definitely not my thing.

can't lie, those planes look fucking awesome. I wouldn't mind sinking a million or so for one.

Now that I think about it, unless they either A: nerf explosive rounds (not gonna happen, too powerful) or B: do the unthinkable and somehow give a WW2 era plane more armor than a 21st century jet (MIGHT happen), I don't see how these planes can be used for griefing like the Hydra or Oppressor. The bombers might be deadly, but they're Titans in terms of size and need to fly REALLY high up or else they'll risk blowing themselves up or hitting a building.

Reposting this from the media thread. Here is what I saw in order. ME-163, Mig-15, P51-D, Grumman G-21 Goose, AH-64 Apache, S64 Skycrane, Kit helicopter with a minigun. Some Weird Antonov/IL and C130 gunship mishmash. Dinky Civilian B24 mishmash. Motorized Glider. At the end there, there is several P-51s with an American, British and yes, even German paint scheme with an allied star on it. The twin prop looks like a Beechcraft Model 18/AT11 with a little mix of a B24. [t]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1GgOEIpbmYw/maxresdefault.jpg[/t] The gunship looks like an AN-22, but shrunken down. It's hard to tell exactly since its black and chrome. Not to mention the video is rather poor quality at 1080p [t]http://avia.pro/sites/default/files/1358121029_3.jpg[/t] [QUOTE=JerryAnderson;52607834]I really hope that they don't focus solely on special cargo crates on the new update.

They're likely gonna be a little bit bigger than the Cuban.

Idk how I feel about this update. The helicopters seem nice, but I don't really care about planes that much. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised on Tuesday.

There's also a 2 door warrener in the thumbnail. So Benny's warrener maybe?

[QUOTE=benzinxrm;52608151]There's also a 2 door warrener in the thumbnail. So Benny's warrener maybe?[/QUOTE] Finally, a proper 2000GTR.

I really wasn't expecting this so soon. Since it seems like we'll be able to customize the aircraft, I hope we'll be able to go back and juice up some of the older aircraft. My Savage needs some love and customization.

Calling it now, it'll be like gun runners where you gotta buy a hanger then do the missions out of that. Like the CEO vehicles and crates. I wish they'd stop doing these buy X property to do Y shit.

They better add something to counter homingmissles

These new properties are also the HQ from which you manage your smuggling business – guided by Nervous Ron and assisted by Charlie, your new mechanic, who’ll take care of your collection of exotic aircraft. [/quote] It's exactly the same, yes. After blundering around aimlessly with previous GTAO updates, it seems Rockstar has settled on the FAFF gameplay model, and are keeping it as safe option.

Now is the time to get off your arses and take advantage of the double money bonus on selling cars people

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;52608081] Here is what I saw in order. AH-64 Apache, [/QUOTE] Also the tail is from the Comanche.

As cool as some of these vehicles look, I can't really imagine the gameplay of this update being anything special enough to keep a lot of the bored players around. I think we have enough of this "high risk high reward" work in freemode that just encourages people to act like complete shitters. It'd be nice to have some more PvE activities or even allow players to create their own PvE stuff with the creator. [editline]d[/editline] I forgot to mention this part in the Newswire post: [quote]There will also be a few new four wheeled vehicles as well - plus new competitive Adversary Modes and of course timely holiday celebrations including fun new stuff for Halloween, the December Holidays and more.[/quote] I wonder if this means that the dripfeed of this update will last all the way into December. I guess we'll find out once the update drops though.

Can't get excited about this. Rockstar needs to cool it with the military vehicles. Do we really need fucking WWII bombers carpet bombing people in free mode?

I honestly prefer the normal tail over the Comanche one.

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;52608577]Can't get excited about this. Rockstar needs to cool it with the military vehicles. Do we really need fucking WWII bombers carpet bombing people in free mode?[/QUOTE] Public free mode has stopped being fun a long time ago

I can't wait for griefers to abuse the carpet bombing plane.

Fuck it, I need a safe way to cheat in money or else a glitch to get it quickly. If we could just rely on the existing bunker for the aircraft it might not be so bad but fuck buying even more stupidly expensive properties just to get vehicles I want. And watch there be research bullshit attached to this as well. "Pay $500,000 so you don't have to wait a week to research something!"

So I've reached Purgatory, and by Purgatory I mean researching a livery. Why exactly do we need to wait like 3 IRL hours or at least 5 ingame days to figure out how to put camo on an assault rifle? Something like the AA trailer or APC I can maybe understand having to wait that long, since they don't have the blueprints and they have to reverse engineer stuff, but a camo pattern on a gun? Let alone one that isn't even camo, but just a bunch of words hand-written on it? How the hell does that take 5 days?
