I’d say the story mode put a boot through the head of that notion pretty early on Literally

It was a little weird to watch a crazy white redneck stomping the only Jewish main character to death.

I've been playing GTAIV here and there on the deck and that DLC doesn't so much humanize them as much as make you even more confused about why anyone would live the lovely biker life at all since Johnny spends the duration being depressed and angry that his life is that bad

Admittedly it's been a while since I played L&D so maybe "humanizing" was a bit strong but I just think it's funny how much the game continues to kick them in the dick in GTAO Fooliganz: "We need to take out the lost MC, because there's only room for one drug empire in this town" Franklin: "Our client is selling drugs and needs those losers from the lost MC out of the picture, go gently caress em up" Sessanta: "Those disgusting, stinky, crusty, nasty bikers have meth labs all over the city and I want you to blow them up and steal their drugs. It'll be easier with a disguise, if you can stand to debase yourself long enough to wear the disgusting, gruesome, stinky, crusty, nasty jacket"

won’t someone think of the biker gangs!  How many antagonists are there in the game including story mode? McCoys Lost Merryweather Hippies Cultist, both the naked mountain ones and Epsilon Clifford FIB Cayo Perico dude Duggins or whatever from the Casino LSPD Feel like I’m missing some but it’s definitely a pool of them with their own distinct “branding”

I made it a season and a half into sons of anarchy; whichever one had henry rollins and the nazi gang rape scene and decided that this is not the show for me I guess rockstar could have taken a worse moral stance than "biker gangs are losers" but it is a shame about johnny, they didn't need to do him like that unrelated: I see that Superyachts are on sale this week; if, theoretically, I were to buy one, is there a best one to get? Are the missions profitable, easy, or fun? Or are they mostly just a fluff thing

Pick the one in the middle. It has the best accessory vehicles (fastest boats and chopper) and provides a modicum of protection on the extremely rare event you're ever boarded by a player. The cheapest one and the most expensive one are much easier for other players to parachute in and commandeer. The missions are good to do once for the Yacht Captain's Outfit and yacht-moving fee decrease, and never again. Dokapon Findom posted:I would append to this also, how long would it take to make back the initial investment at the current discount? You don't buy a yacht to make money. Along with the unlocks above, I think you get $200k if you complete all 6 of the Superyacht Life missions. The last one is pretty rough!

The Yacht is kinda funny because sometimes you can lure people chasing you to your Yacht and the anti air defenses will destroy them (As long as you turn them on when you enter session) It’s 100% a money sink and opens up some small missions that will award you a yacht captain hat if that’s your thing

Don’t forget that you can turn on the yacht defenses and park the kosatka right next to it and be pretty invulnerable to most things while you shoot off guided missiles

The Nightclub really does seem like the only thing that will passively recoup its own startup capital. Not into doing missions, running swag or that sort of thing

Yeah that was kind of what I was thinking of it as, I was going to treat myself to one as probably the last thing I do with the game before I get bored and put it away again. I was wondering if the discount made it worth accelerating that schedule but it sounds like no, I'll get the kosatka next after all. Also i should have listened to you all about the hangar, the system is confusing and the missions aren't very fun, oops. I don't really understand the profit numbers but I'm guessing if they were good, someone, anyone would recommend getting it, so oh well, now I know. at least I can buy planes now if I want to I guess.

You can fly your buzzard into your hangar and it will convert into a personal aircraft that you can change the colors on

RE: Yacht stuff - in my friend group, which is my wife as well two of our friends, we all kind of ended up naturally dividing our major purchases. Like we all own the acid lab, nightclub, MC and CEO office, but only one of us has the agency, another one has the Kosatka (me!), one of us has the OpMk2, while I'm the only one with the Mk1 ( ), and one of us has the yacht. There are a bunch more things that we don't all own but you get it. Anyway, all that to say that I'm glad my friend bought the yacht, because that means that I really, really don't have to. I mean, if I end up with more money than I can spend, then sure, I'll buy it. But not a moment sooner; I got what I wanted out of it just from visiting his.

Plus the hangar missions get more profitable the more people you have sourcing, right? If you have 4 people in your org, you get 4 packages per source mission to put in your hangar to sell. This greatly speeds up the whole process and makes it quasi-good $/time I never really did it though since finding people to run them is rough. One of the sell missions lets you drive the sky crane though so there is that Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Word… I assume people in a friend group would each own one (or some other business) and rotate helping each other namlosh fucked around with this message at 16:09 on May 10, 2024 |

Apparently the arcade has a master computer that lets you manage/monitor all of your businesses from one place? It rules that that exists, but is bizarre that it is only attached to one property and that it’s the arcade; I’d rather it be like a phone app or some thing but you’d think that at least the terrorbyte could do it

There's a literal fake fortune teller cabinet that turns and opens to the staircase downstairs. Much like how laser tag was floated MANY times by Saul in Breaking Bad as being a fantastic money laundering outfit (especially with a 'Danny'), an arcade is similarly great for that. The master control centre goes in that part, that's all. It makes more sense in context of the entirety of GTA Online. Sure, there could be better places, like the facility and/or bunker, but the arcade isn't bad all things considered. The one in the terrorbyte is just for sourcing.

The master control terminal in the arcade is neat, but it's dealing with some probably back end game limitations. You need to be a CEO/MC president to check your businesses, and you can't check your MC businesses while being a CEO or vice versa. You need to back out of the terminal, stand up from the terminal chain, quit/resign from your current org/MC, register as a CEO/MC, sit back down in the chair, and go back into the terminal.

Unfortunately the arcade is loving terrible when it comes to a return on investment unless you do the casino heist a bunch of times. Each arcade cabinet is at least $250k and even when you fill the place you'll get maybe $5,000 a day.

mp5 posted:That’s very easy when playing on a platform that has people on it Corky You don't need people to get the $5000/day from the arcade, it passively fills every day regardless of actual use. Also it doesn't matter what arcade games you put in your arcade. You can just put the cheapest cabinet you can buy into every slot. It's purely based on how many machines you put in your arcade, and you can put duplicates, and some arcade machines can go in almost every slot. So just put whatever lovely game you can into every slot to maximize that $5000/day.

Gotta get the Agency (which is distinct from your Office!) so you can manage your Auto Shop which is different from your Vehicle Warehouse (which is not at all like your regular Warehouse and definitely not the same as your Salvage Yard!) all from the comfort of your Facility, making sure to periodically check on your Bunker, Clubhouse, and whatever other properties you get a call every time you log in telling you you needed to buy. I wonder how much playing it would take to recoup the initial investment in these properties relative to when the fun starts? If time is money then the cards are the best investment you can make.
