Getting a free yacht with a helicopter was too good to be true.
No worries, 'actually read your link' was meant to be me admitting to being lazy rather than me being a dickhead to you.

Aquarius has the advantage of the giant rear deck, big enough to land an Avenger, or Hydra, or most things. Pisces has the advantage of easier access from front to rear of the yacht, awning over the Piracy Prevention capture point, and slightly faster bundled vehicles. I have the Pisces on my main and Aquarius on my alt.
The Avenger parking is pretty useful because you can then use the Avenger tail as a giant springboard to dive into the spa :)
It can still be useful if you set your yacht as your spawn point, or have your yacht moored close to another spawn point. Kind of an edge case though.
Don't do it! If you can't afford the middle one, just wait for the next sale is my advice.
I don't disagree with you. I have the Pegasus version of the SuperVolito and almost never use it because it's a pain to land. It's like a grown-up, overweight, defenseless Havok.
I think you're thinking of the Volatus. The Supervolito would be nice if the skids were just a little longer. The Volatus looks cool and is super-fast, it just needed wider landing gears to stop it toppling over sideways on uneven ground.
Yup I was confusing them. I've been playing story mode so anything better than a Frogger is luxurious for now.
How many of you fine ladies and gentlemen are going to be on Red Dead Online when that launches?
I haven't got one of those yet. Can those client jobs be done solo?
In regards to Red Dead Online, I wonder if they're going to have anything like business and heists. I'm not really interested in the PvP stuff in GTAO so I wonder if RDO will have anything that loners like myself can grind out.
Yes! You can even do them in friends and crew only sessions!
If you stay on task you can easily make 500k an hour at the double pay rate. With a friend I've been able to get over 700k an hour by alternating organizations to avoid cooldowns.
Info is very thin in the ground.
Rockstar have said that they want to take inspiration from the best content updates for GTA Online, specifically mentioning Heists, Gunrunning, The Doomsday Heist, and After Hours.
They've said that their key goals are keeping the player base together, and that they want it to feel like a Rockstar experience, combining personality, gameplay, style, narrative and variety.
The original Red Dead Redemption Online did have PvE gang hideouts to go through too (they were probably the most high profile feature of it TBH).
Terrorbyte is finally on sale so time to buy. MC Businesses are also on double. Maybe I'll do some of that but those god damn postal vans.
Yeeeahhhhno MC businesses can go fuck themselves. I swear that they've turned up raid rates too. Even with security upgrades I'm getting raided every other time that I activate my MC with any amount of product stored.
It's just not worth it. I emptied them out and use them to fuel nightclub stock.

Once Import/Export came out there just wasn't any reason to run the MC businesses any more. Some of the supply missions were fun at first though.
Having fought off a raid as soon as I registered and then dragging a pair of Dodos around the map for $90k I am extra convinced that MC businesses are 100% dreadful. I had the dune buggy bunker sale beforehand, awkward jobs are okay if I'm getting a quarter million for them.
Why is Paige keeping a change of clothes in the Terrorbyte, she's not living in there while I'm not looking is she?

Having done a bit of MC sell missions over the week, you know, I don't think they're that bad iiiiffffff you only have to do a one vehicle sale. Even the post ops mission is fine outside of the context that it is a bit too slow when there's people flying around on magic bikes trying to blow you up. It does take a bit more babysitting to make sure you only have one delivery vehicle which is made more annoying by the fact that you can't check stock levels in the terrorbyte.
That said, I'm fine with no touching MC businesses again until the next double cash week.

I haven't had a chance to play RDO online yet, but I've been checking the thread on it periodically and it sounds like they took all the stuff I hate about GTAO and made it worse. No separate free aim vs. aim assist lobbies? No passive mode?! Absurd in-game economy to the nth degree. Hoping I can get on tonight, but my hopes and expectations have been heavily tempered and it makes me sad.
Yeah I'm hoping a lot of this is because beta. I can understand the lack of private sessions and even passive mode. It is a beta and the goal is to stress test things. Forcing players to interact makes sense.
Unfortunately I doubt the economy is going to get any better. GTAO proved that people are willing to pay insane prices for in game currency; or dedicate chunks of their lives to the grind. Longevity depends on the player base, which is almost guaranteed to be there considering RDR2's commercial success.
I'm waiting until the beta smoke clears to see what we end up with. I haven't purchased the game yet and honestly I don't really care about the story. This probably works out for the best. I have far too much in my backlog thanks to GTAO.
These were my thoughts on RDO last night after playing for about 6 hours in a group of four friends to begin with, and then two friends at the end.
THE GOOD
- I had no connection or lag issues, which is pretty amazing for launch night on a game of this size.
- Loading is so much faster. Bliss!
- The story missions felt like co-op versions of the Stranger missions from SP. I haven't done them all yet, but I hear they get even bigger, and if that's the case they'll be Heist level. That's awesome, and what I was hoping for.
- The stealth co-op missions were fantastic and as good as any mission in the SP.
- Although they toned down the number of NPCs in the world by quite a lot, everything else (particularly weather and animal spawns) is identical to SP, which I was hoping for but not expecting.
- It was a heap of fun mucking around with friends, we spent half the night lassoing each other and jumping from horse to horse or getting into fist fights and had a blast (and plenty of laughs) just with that.
THE BAD
- The economy seems grindy but in a particularly annoying way. I get that you need to save up for horses and clothes and weapons, sure. But having things like food be super expensive really sours the gameplay experience. My horse nearly starved because I couldn't afford to feed it at one point.
- That also ties into the loot system, where there are no real items to be found in things like gang hideouts. At least give us something, cans of food or anything really.
- It's a competitive loot system, so if you're in a team and kill people, looting the corpses (which is the only payoff in random freeroam encounters) is first in, best dressed. If my buddy kills everyone, I can swoop in and steal all the spoils and he gets nothing (even if we're in the same posse). That's BS.
THE UGLY
- No passive mode is horrific. Troll posses are camping things like stores and mission start markers so that you effectively can't play the game at times. If this doesn't get fixed pronto then I'm out.
- Travel time sucks the big one. The map is effectively twice as large as SP, and your horse is way slower, the open world is 100x more dangerous, the train is no longer a fast travel option, and stage coaches cost a significant amount of money.
- They nickel and dime you on everything. Just keeping you and your horse fed can be a struggle, and that isn't fun.
- There needs to be a simple and cheap fast travel option, even if it's only to your camp or to generic regions.
The SP experience was amazing, and I personally rate it as the second best game of this generation behind The Witcher 3. It might not be your cup of tea, but I still honestly think it's worth checking out on its own, even if you never touch Online.
Disappointing if there's no Friendly Free Roam equivalent, it's hard to waste hours in the wilderness when some random dickhead decides he wants to deathmatch you every ten minutes.
Friendly Free Roam Fun Fact my brother figured out: Players were immune to bullets and explosive splash damage but R* forgot the Explosive Rifle so if somebody tried griefing you you could reduce them to a fine mist with a direct hit. Justice!

New DLC tomorrow. Looks like a slightly expanded upon adversary mode so nothing particularly interesting but they've given such little detail so who knows, it could surprise us.

Well, it's a reason to get online and see what's what, I guess. I haven't been on in probably a month.
23 new vehicles. Wow. Nearly all Mad Max inspired.

The Brutus at two minutesish is the Tango & Cash battle wagon! That thing is shit and I'm definitely buying one!
The modes are.. ok. Looks like the handling for some cars received a slight overhaul. You can wheelie some cars by holding the e-brake and revving the throttle. Release and wheeeeeeee!
The Oppressor MK2 speed bug was fixed. You can still call it in from an MC menu and the missiles are still some of the most accurate in the game. This puts it at about Deluxo annoyance status. No one's going to be out-dogfighting planes with this piece of griefer shit anymore.
A realistic buy-in for the update is around 4 mil. That got me the basic workshop, a living quarters, and a nightmare Dominator with all of the mods I cared about. There are trade prices but they're weird. Unlocks seem to be based on a points system where you receive an unlock after a certain amount are accumulated, but what you get after that amount is reached seems to be totally random. The trade prices go toward everything from discounts on car modifications to masks or clothing. You could be going at this for awhile before unlocking a trade price for something you actually want. Thankfully things don't seem to be hard locked like they were with the gun running research.

Haha the new modes are already dead. I tried hosting a race earlier and sat for 5 mins without a single join.
They're fun enough for a little while but it's ultimately another pvp mode that we don't need. They put a decent amount of work into the presentation of it for something they must have known would die quickly like the thousand other pvp modes. Maybe they really did just supe up an adversary mode just so they would have a dlc to put out in December.
Well at least the vehicles are genuinely fun, though totally worthless for anything productive in freeroam. I really dig some of the new clothes too.
Can you use any of the new vehicles in Heists?Well at least the vehicles are genuinely fun, though totally worthless for anything productive in freeroam. I really dig some of the new clothes too.
Playing through one right now and I didn't see them pop up. Can't say I'm surprised.
That's a shame if so. I thought the Scarab (Ripsaw) would be cool to use on the PAC STD Signal (Ari) setup.
