Also, Oppresor MK2’s now have a 5 minute cool down. So there’s that.

About fucking time.

Okay, in on GTA, looks like minimum startup is about 1.6 Million. I might put some money to get access to that, not sure yet.

I'm guessing that's for the arcade property and necessary upgrades to run the Heist.  I need to scope around and see what the Planner needs to front ahead of time to open the chain.

 

EDIT: If you have a Twitch Prime account linked to your Social Club Account, you get an Arcade for free.  Max payout per Rockstar is $2.1 Million, minus Lester's $60k then split according to payout.  That's somewhat dissappointing.

With as many options as being reported and as many missions, $2.1 Million seems way low considering how expensive stuff is and that it's a fucking casino.  But gotta keep those Shark Cards rolling.

I might need a PS4 Crew Roll Call soon, as I'm pretty sure I don't want to run this in a PUG.

What’s your PSN?

They do. No matter how many you own.

Supposedly they've limited easy way out as well. 

5 minutes. You can’t do it on an MKII anymore as well

Oh yeah, I’m back. And apparently this semi-reincarnation of the old thread is well.

I personally just uploaded the thingy and browsed the clothes and whatnot, before started the missions. You really do have to pay attention to some of these, my friends. It’s very similar to story mode; where your actions change what happens. 

I’m not that far. If any of you yahoos wanna join myself, give me a shout. Could be fun. ?

Poor Dan tried to be methodical last night.  Unfortunately for him, he got stuck with me and melraz.  The take pictures starter mission quickly turned into a shit show involving the following:

A whole buncha dead dots

One shot down Hydra

One stolen Osprey.  It probably would've been lasted longer if I hadn't shot all those rockets at it before I stole it

A runin from an Oppressor.  That REALLY didn't go the way that guy expected

One successful mugging attempt

One successful airstrike

Mercs called on us

We pulled it off, though.

You can do these in an invite lobby.

I mean, you can deal with a bunch of fuckers screwing up your plans, if you want, or play it cleanly and avoid it. 

Doing these missions in there is quite nice. Taking your time and analyzing your approach is pretty sweet.

Really it was mostly us screwing with other folks.  We couldn't decide whether to do the heist or shoot dots, so we decided why not do both?

There are, or at least there's one game.  I haven't played it, though.

Not sure if Robert and Mel will be continuing heists for a bit, or GTA. We tried to do a stealthy approach that went.... really really badly. Seems like the heists can be basically impossible if some locations and styles are chosen. Not helped by mic problems during the mission too. 
 

Ive basically retreated to special cargo and my nightclub with a side of fake money to turn my profit at the moment.

At start you are an “arcade” of literally 4 machines of the same game. You can put money down in order to expand your games, but fully upgraded costs about 7 million on top of your initial investment in the arcade. Take that with a Heist that only pulls off 2 million as a starting point and gets split between crew members... It’s less then ideal imo. Feels much more like a straight money sink then the Night Club or even Casino if you want it upgraded, though I admittedly don’t know your maximum take in daily once the arcade is fully set up.

 

EDIT: Just looked it up, max you can pull in one in game day (48 minutes) appears to be in the 5,000 range. Assuming you are looking at about 10 mill for proper setup, you would need to go about 2,000 in game days in order to make a profit on just the wall safe on the Arcade. Admittedly profit will be coming in from the heists as well, but my first pay day for on was a bit under 350,000. Which would take 6 of them to make a profit on the arcade at original cost, at least on my purchase, but over 30 at expanded cost.

You can play any game. Two are like the ones from a year ago, that you can play, along with a slew of a few more. 

In total; you can max out your arcade. I mean, you don’t have to, but why not?

Suggestion; get the one just south of the casino. It’s cheap and in a great spot.

This trailer was attached to Black Christmas and I thought of you guys grinding away while I was at the movies with my daughter.

So now you guys are more like spies than common criminals these days with Lester as your demented handler?

I’m more like a mob boss. I am the CEO of a business that steals supplies of all sorts, I run a “legitimate business” of my Nightclub (named Omega. Wish Afterlife was an option, but what can ya do?) with a massive personal garage and area for all my goods my business get. My businesses bring Fake Money, as well as Forged Documents, “Cargo”, And Weapons, though I’m hoping to expand into the drug game soon (Weed, Meth, And Coke). On top of that, I own a Bunker were a team works for m to get weapon upgrades as well as sell the excess stock, as well as having a penthouse in the city’s Casino. I am hoping to expand with a hangar in Zancudo as well as a military bunker.

 

GTA Online is borderline crazy.

I picked up GTA V the other day, and found I had to do "missions" for almost five minutes before the game would let me run around, steal random cars, and drive like crazy. I was unimpressed. What do these game designers think GTA games are for?

Also, the frequency with which the second half of those missions bombarded me with the "n" word was pretty unpleasant.

The actors who played Franklin and Lamar rewrote their parts significantly, to make the dialogue more true to who the characters were. Frequent use of the N word included.

I would recommend you play through the storyline though. So many interesting people to meet, so much to see and do...

That's been the case in literally every other GTA game.
