I feel like thats probably giving it a lot more credit than it deserves. I am immediately wary of all new adversarial modes. Half the time it feels like the staff never sat down and just like, played a few rounds to see obvious problems that arise.

You have to buy an arena war workshop that starts a million dollars because of loving course you do

There's some sort of weird half-traction multiplier or something int he arena, it's fucky

e: there's some sort of "career" and levels in the arena, that involves loading back and forth into events and back to free roam repeatedly, fuuuuuuun
e2: if you pick the wrong vehicle at the start of some events, you could be in for half an hour of frustrating boredom.

e3: :psyduck:

In your first match you're given a fully modded car with all kinds of weapons. that means you go into matches and people in their first one can loving steamroll everybody in lovely cars without. If you can buy your own $3m+ weaponized car and upgrade it for another mil+, you have a HUGE advantage as well. If you can't, well, i hope you like getting hosed up by dudes who can afford guns on their cars. I haven't even gotten far enough in to check, but there's a $722k gun dude you can add to your garage to modify your weaponized cars that may be needed to even install guns on the arena cars.

e4: tried selling a million dollar car, got this, car's gone, didn't get the money.

It's so loving bad and it makes the game modes super pay to win.

$1m for the shop
$1m minimum to turn a car you already own into an arena version or $3m+ for one of the already prepped cars
guns are $200k-$400k
mines are $300k-$600k
armor can get up to $1m

and most importantly, people who don't spend that money don't get any of it in the competitive modes. They just get basic cars with basic armor and that's it.

Still.

Are these new war cars usable in free roam? That is one thing that I really like about the NC update and being able to custom the Speedo and others, and they are just usable, unlike the "upgraded" crate delivery vehicles

Powershift, are you sure the car’s gone?

I had that same message for a while when x80’s were on sale. Couldn’t sell any of mine, but now that it’s not on sale I can. The cars never went away though.

I assumed something like this would happen. R* gave us an easy money maker in nightclubs... they had to devise a way to soak up those funds. I’ve made over 80million from my nightclub even when I’ve played much less since they came out.

Still, you’re right, Get all of the nightclub businesses up and running or else, RIP

Yeah, it's gone.

I just had some of that stuff in one of the arena modes where you laugh and smile while you're doing things, what's it called. starts with an F...


whatever.

e: there's a mode where there are 4 monster trucks and 10 minis, and the monster trucks have to crush all the minis, or the minis have to survive for 10 minutes. I found a spot in the arena where the mini can get to easily but the trucks struggle to reach and i sat there. with 2 minutes left, i was the only mini left, and sat there mocking the 4 truck guys as they kept trying and failing to get up there. With a minute left one eventually got up, so i hopped off and started ripping around the outside of the arena, and survived all the trucks repeatedly trying to divebomb me. It was great

What’s up with the trade prices? You just have to participate in arena wars a certain number of times, right? Not necessarily win?

You get a certain number of AP depending on how you do, how many you do in a row, how many friends are with you, and you level up. I'm up to level 9 and still don't have trade prices on any of the fully prepped cars.

Winning a race with 16 people gives you 80 AP which was most of the way from 8->9, losing only gives like 4 AP

e: figured it out, hold the parking brake and rev then let go
e: even the stock sabre turbo can lift em a little, i'm guessing any car with wheelie bars as an option can do it now.

I'm also curious about the RC truck. In the video it shows a pack of them chasing a normal size vehicle, yet in the asset images it shows driver + passenger. Maybe you buy the full size one and it craps out mini versions of itself? Maybe theres a shrink ray involved?

Oh, here's your shrink ray!

https://twitter.com/FoxySnaps/status/1072388743733149696

Hoping that the missile is going to be like other games where you launch it and then take control. That'd rule to be able to chill up in Paleto and guide one of these to the city

Kinda surprised at how deep they went with the Mad Max refs, managed to hit all 4 movies it looks like

Powershift
Nov 23, 2009


The missile in the top left there and the RC are part of the arena mode. In some modes, only one vehicle from each team is in the arena. The other team members can choose the RC which can drive under opponents and explode, or drones, or turrets which can launch a missile every minute or so, and you fly the missile around manually and try to run it into the other team's car.

Some modes let you gently caress with the result after you're dead with those same tools.

The driver and passenger are part of the model, like some real R/C trucks have.

e: so there's legitimate gambling in the game now, huh.

There's a wheel you can pay $5k to spin after being knocked out that can pay out in AP, RP, cash, or ways to interfere with the game..

Winning a 15 minute long event against 16 players gives you 100 points towards your arena sponsorship level. i lost 30 seconds into a game, and sat at the wheel in the loser's lounge and hit the 250 3 times, and the 150 twice. leveled up 4 times while losers were out racing
