Actually, they released the Howard NX-25 stunt plane on Elitas :eng101:

It's fun. It's an unarmed stunt plane. If you like tooling around in something fast and maneuverable but don't want to try flying the Alpha Z1 since it's a ridiculous handful, the NX-25 isn't bad.

Nope, Bombuskha Run is even worse than all of those, amazing as that may sound. I stand by this claim.

You can dunk almost a whole wing in the lake without crashing. And you can (crash-)land on the side of the mountain and then fly away again.

But yeah, it's not a lot of fun once you've done those things.

It's shrine maiden, not shrine maid!
I remember playing one round of Bombushka where the other team lost two people, and had one afk while we were up in the plane. The pilot flew around the map for roughly two years before this one lone buzzard was allowed to kill us finally, since one of the gunners was utterly obsessed with shooting him down. I spent most of that time watching Netflix.

It's a terrible game mode with bizarre scoring and incentives. The rounds take too long and it somehow manages to take helicopters and airplanes and make them completely boring.

I don't have a ton of experience in this game but Bombushka has been the worst of it.

Made it up, most likely. Take Two's recent financials had an explicit statement about continuing GTAO support longer than planned due to how much shark card revenue they're still pulling in, and every quarter they're reporting hundreds of millions or some stupid amount of shark card revenue.

quote:

"We still expect fiscal 2018 to be a year of strong earnings and cash provided by operating activities for Take-Two, despite an unusually light release slate, driven by new releases of NBA 2K and WWE 2K, our robust catalog led by Grand Theft Auto, and innovative offerings designed to drive engagement and recurrent consumer spending," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in an earnings release.

There were rumors going around a while ago that the final Online updates were coming but then they had an earnings call that was like "lol Online is making fuckloads of money so we're gonna just keep going". That said, I would expect them to continue to be similar to what they have been: content drops with some scripted missions. Don't expect anything substantially different like new Heists or whatever because they've peeled teams off onto RDR2 and GTA6.

Personally i'm waiting for the naval warfare update where we get Battleships and Destroyers that multiple people can crew, but you need to buy a shipyard for $20m, and then a Battleship costs $10m and can take approximately 3 rockets before exploding :v:

Also, you have to buy a cargo ship to haul boat crates to make piddling amounts of money.

I got my million dollars worth of fun out of the tug. mainly a bunch of guys trying to flip it back over when i beached it upside down trying to take the jumps by the pier. And also trying to get it out of the canal entrance on the other side of the pier with brickades.

As much as i hate the vans, i really want a trucker update. Give me a truck garage with all sorts of chrome and wicked rear end paint jobs and awesome trailers.

They could do the trailer from death race since we already got the truck
the smokey and the bandit whole rig
the fury road war rig
the rig and the car from duel, i already basically do that with the MOC
Optimus prime

Also, make people have to back the trailers up because that's always hilarious to see people gently caress that up.

Anyway, there's no use for them in GTA until Rockstar adds in civilian weddings.

The tank in passive mode is a severely underrated trolling tool, in passive it's not damaged by running over cars so you can work up a giant cop parade and lead them to anyone on the map. And squish any unattended player cars.
