I'm not really sure how you can argue any of those positions given they've already sold 15+million units of the game in the past year (less than actually if you look at the reporting dates). Two of the three biggest content updates they've released (heists, doomsday heists, nightclubs) have been in the past 6 months. If it was recycled business content like gunrunning or smugglers run then I could maybe see your point but they've put a LOT of time and money into writing, content, voice acting, game technology updates, mission updates, pretty much small expansions. Not to say that it's flawless content or that they are saints for releasing it "for free" or anything, but you can hardly argue the position that things are slowing down.

Psion posted:I have read someone claiming the game is on EOL life support for the last year. First it was Gunrunning was the end, then they released Smuggler's Run, and that was it except Doomsday came out of nowhere, which had to be the end, except Super Sports, which was it except now After Hours. Shuffling their staff is obviously where they got the inspiration for re-assignable technicians  Last night was fun with the setups. I enjoy the story based missions as a diversion. Yes they only take about 10 minutes total, but its a nice little interjection to the plot, to break up the daily grind Spoilering this cuz I don't know whats fact or fiction anymore, obviously unofficial stuff, but probably more trustworthy than MrBossFTW . With the bit of effort put into the mission to get Solomon Grundy to the club, I could see something similar for each of the others when they drop, so that'd be 3 more missions. The dates for new DJs are weekly i think, dont recall if it's the next 3 tuesdays or the exact dates It looks like there is another RDR2 crossover treasure hunt type quest that was found in the download, not announced yet Also nothing has yet been announced officially on the Oppressor MK II Can't have a MK II upgrade path without a brand new workshop, so look forward to another unannounced MOC type vehicle Can't have a MOC without new missions, I was reading something that mentioned Client Jobs but I don't know if that is just a new name for contact missions? Doesn't look like any NEW businesses, but this MOC is hinted as being what will consolidate all the networks(MC, bunker, hangar, CEO, etc) Also LOL something about launching drones from the new MOC?

mutata posted:The answer is all of them. All of the offices are working on RDR2. And you believe that? Come on. That's an obvious dodge. "Well it's Rockstar North" you heard it folks they've abandoned GTA "Well it's Rockstar somewhere else" oh great the B team this game is gonna suck OF COURSE they are going to say "all our studios are working on this" and decline to elaborate further

You win. Your total lack of real knowledge beats my complete ignorance. Edit: If you're asking me if I believe that the vast majority of Rockstar's employees are working on RDR2, though, then the answer is of course they are. Also, I never said they have or are abandoning GTA. v  v

One good thing about the updates is even if you don't care about the content, it gets people online to do other cool stuff. https://giant.gfycat.com/ColorlessImpossibleLacewing.webm https://giant.gfycat.com/JadedGrotesqueFinch.webm https://giant.gfycat.com/GreedyAnguishedAdouri.webm

mutata posted:The game has been successful a billion times over but past performance and support is never indicative of future content. The game is entering a looooong tail period where the developers will mostly cycle off to develop and support new titles leaving a much smaller core crew of people. These remaining people will be tasked with generating the maximum amount of income with the least amount of overhead. Content will get looser and less focused and more like remixes or reskins of existing concepts. Another business type that essentially uses the same paradigms. Another rocket car. Another movie reference car. All priced in the low million dollar bracket. A couple adversary modes here. Another fetch em mission there. It will continue to make tons of money and it won't be anything new. It's the tail and the goal is to stretch it out as long as possible and put as little money into development as possible. Holding pattern. I think there's something about the engine that forces them to make content in the way that they do. That's why all missions are just variations of "drive here, then drive there" or "drive here, shoot guys"

Fart.Bleed.Repeat. posted:Shuffling their staff is obviously where they got the inspiration for re-assignable technicians The DJs are supposed to be weekly, the mission for Tale Of Us is already on YouTube and I’m pretty certain they showed a bit of The Black Madonna’s mission in the trailer when she decks the cop. There’s stuff that has been found in the game files that makes me wonder if this is going to end up effectively being two updates close together, specifically the Terabyte MOC type vehicle with the drones makes me think they might be gearing up to give us some kind of resolution to the Doomsday Heist story rather than something directly connected with the Nightclub. Speaking of, I’ve still not finished the Doomsday Heist’s last act, need to get on that.

I havent even made it through the first of the doomsday ones yet. Started out easy enough doing them 2 person, but at some point it was stretched out too thin with just the 2 of us so we said fuckit and agreed to try them again sometime with at least a 3rd and probably a 4th. I'd be down to run through these over a couple nights. Not really worried about the payout so I can host and take the min cut

The Doomsday Heists are definitely doable with 2 people all the way through, there are a couple prep missions where you'll have to back track once because it forces you to steal 4 cars for example instead of two but otherwise it's fine. The enemies even scale for more people and have more health. At least definitively the final mission in act 3, I expected it was going to be nearly impossible with 2 but it was actually easier because people died faster and there were less of them. Still not easy though... Also the Heist has a pretty definitive conclusion.

Ok, that makes sense and I think it may have been that steal X 4 mission that kept loving us I was wondering why the bonus for 2 people Mastermind was a lot less than 4 person, but if it scales enemies and stuff, then there ya go!

The problems of trying to make cars which look just enough like a real car without looking just enough like them to catch a C&D.

Selling goods from the NightClub looks to be pretty profitable for henchmen. Only done a couple but the amount given was roughly 10% of the CEO's take. Did one and the CEO made about $160k, as a associate I made $15k. Did one as the boss and I made like $55k, associates made $5k. These were both pretty small, so it'll be interesting to see the cut with a full sale.

Pararoid posted:Is this OJ? Can we set up a goon OJ again? God that was fun in SA Multiplayer. I should dig around in Creator and see what I still have there. Way back several updates ago I had built a race map that mirrored OJs route- from the valley and the freeways and ending up in Brentwood. When I made it there wasnt much for options to balance things out, and the vehicle was like the Mesa or some other generic SUV. Now I bet you could do a lot more with it with the Riata and cop cars, using Hunting Pack as a template I remember those from SAMP too, OJ and smear the queer were good times for what the technology allowed!

I honestly think the Nightclub is the best building they've added to multiplayer. It feels like an actual part of the world, not just an empty building that money comes out of. Plus it generally feels like it fits better than literally-super-villain-facility.
