The new building is, surprisingly... Good? Only 2.4 mil and it's a mini mission place like the salvage yard. 4 mini heists a week, one of which is 300k or so and the other three around 150k, so it will pay for itself. Comes with a 10 car garage, terrorbyte garage, new terrorbyte upgrades, food platter, weapons bench, and bed. There is also an Ammunation kitty corner from the building and an LSC nearby. Far from the worst 2.4 mil I've ever spent.

The new NPC running the place is a strict girl boss type but at least she isn't as annoying as the auto shop coomers.
 
Something i'm concerned about that i don't see discussion is the cast for 6. 3 through 5 had all of these fun, sometimes eccentric larger than life characters to contrast with the straight man protagonist, but from what i've seen in Online, everyone introduced in it except from maybe El Rubio and Pavel are just... Normal? Boring? There hasn't been much deviation in Online's writing style, so i'm assuming this is what's going on forward.

Makes it more realistic, sure... But coming from mission givers like the Leones, everyone in Vice City, living memes in San Andreas, and people like Roman, Brucie and Jacob in 4, interacting with Girlboss, Nigger #3 and Rapper #2 doesnt sound as fun.

Sounds like main character syndrome. In Online, YOU'RE the larger than life character. I would think Lester and Avon Hertz (you can even count his AI, Clifford) from the Doomsday Heist would be the exceptions.
 
this is some cringekino if you wanna hatewatch something as background noise for two hours:
Truly cringekino. He will just rant about the most irrelevant shit. Does he not realize how short the development times of these games were and how closely they released together? I'm sure the devs had a lot more important shit to work out than making crouching work perfectly. It's amazing how much stuff they managed to add in instead of it. Dipping into his GTA3 video it's even worse. It's like he thinks all games exist in a vacuum with no consideration for what devs had to figure out along the way.
He'll also berate Rockstar for being too ambitious with certain features in the same video. Like why did they even bother? How dare you try to make the best game you could with what you had?
Not surprised at all that he deleted his channel once enough people started noticing.

Holy shit, this is actually really fucking good, goddamn and Tardstar is taking all these years with a new GTA, for fucking what though.
I mean if you're making the amount of money that GTA Online makes, why rush for a sequel ? Better milk the cow for all it's worth and release GTA VI Online II : The Search For More Money when the pool is dry.

Yeah that's cool and all but there comes a point and time where people will eventually end up getting tired of the V and want another game, they keep trying to bring people back with more shit for online, and while that may be alright in itself, you need to move onto another game as I stated.

I wish he kept up with it, for as bad as his content was i felt he was easier to listen to than every other video essay. His takes are just the cherry on top, with him sort of having a tendency to misunderstand why devs do a specific thing. I'm a Hitman autist and I remember his deletd HItman video basically said "the escalations are bad, but the bonus missions are good. Why dont they do more of those?" And idk if you're a Hitman fan but the bonus missions are the same maps but massively reworked whereas the escaltions are just the vanilla maps but with different NPCs marked as targets. So obviously the more ambitious shit is harder to make

I wouldve loved to hear his tame on GTA IV, I would've LOVED that. I hope someone can find an archive of his old stuff one day or coax him to come back. He's like the Cinematic Venom of vidya takes

I feel extra autistic these days. The hell does "cringekino" mean? Why would you "hatewatch" something, let alone leaving it as "background noise" (not even actually watching it) for two hours?

Don't understand kids these days and i don't want to.

- Cringekino just means so cringe it's entertaining
- Hatewatching is similar to how some people watch bad movies like the room, sometimes it's for entertainment on its own and other times it's to help build their knowledge in some way
- Background noise just means using it as a podcast, since a majority of the information is verbal
Next week we'll do flossing
 
GTA 6 isn't even out yet, & we're getting anime GTA (combined with NFS, NBA, Tony Hawk Tuah, DoA, Spiderman, Infamous, DMC, Mahjong, Genshin Impact, Scarlett Nexus).
Not holding my breath. Seems too good to be true with this many promises. I'm betting it's just gonna be complete gachaslop. It kinda reminds me of The Day Before in a way, where they copied so much shit from other games in their promotional material. Still celebrated with no doubts by some because it's anime.
Took a quick gander and from his thumbnails, he seems like the typical "anti-woke" whose only problem is the lack of fap material in newer games. No thanks, debauchery and deviancy go hand in hand with wokeness.
This is my main issue with "anti-woke' tards on Twitter and YouTube. No, adding tits to a game doesn't immediately fix the problem. It just turns a shit game with DEI slop to a shit game with TNA.
Modding GTA SA in general sucks though because of fragmentation and Brazilians.
Modding GTA games in general sucks. V crashes all the time, IV you have to pick what version you want to downgrade and there's an autist slapfight about which one is best along with dumbasses saying DXVK can magically fix your performance (when no, it isn't magic), and the 3D trilogy has the issue of fragmentation like you said, along with it being mostly managed by Brazilians.

I feel for the Lucia actress in GTA 6 when THAT releases. She'll have a river of "fans" wanting her to strip or make NSFW content of her character.

the problem is woke stuff is a symptom of a bad game, its like when van halen asked for a bowl with no brown m&Ms, they'd check the bowl because a venue that won't honor that request is probably fucking up everywhere else and when you're dealing with pyrotechnics or other effects you don't want to get fucked over by shoddy workmanship.

And the type of dev that refuses to make characters attractive or have the women show off some TNA, is probably a dev that also won't give a fuck about making a satisfying story or good gameplay or enjoyable characters. they'll actively attack the audience the same way some concert venues would let musicians play but absolutely hate them and their fanbases.

obviously there are examples of woke that are good to amazing games in the last decade, the same way van halen admits multiple venues told them to get fucked on the brown M&Ms, but they were a lot more careful not to get Michael Jackson'd during the shows as well.

the fact that we got numerous examples of stuff like concord or dragon age 4 or whatever and very few notable $100+ million dollar disasters where the women are all bimbos should tell you its a great litmus test.
We all know no matter what R*/T2 does, people will buy GTA 6 in droves.
honestly as much as people bitch, their track record is still amazing, like sure RDR 2 had a shitty story, but the stories in general were barely good most of the time and were mostly gloried tutorials, its all the side content that people fucking love from these games, people's love of vice city is more because of the atmopshere than the game itself where half of it is grinding money through side missions, its a lot like COD, you can whine about the single player all you want, its obvious even at their worst its still leagues better than everyone else. We're not at bethesda levels where each game gets worse and worse to the point where starfield is the worst but ultimately had the same cracks that were there the last 20 years. even if the quality didn't improve from the leaked test build we got years ago its still the best game to have come out in half a decade at minimum.
Remember all those Black bodies from the first trailer at the beach? You know somebody will make a massacre video of all those peds for the lulz.
its vice city, people forget how brown that game was, san andreas had even less white characters, but people didn't give a fuck. if you look at miami now those are accurate demographics, which is fucking hilarious once you realize all those niggas voted trump too.

Those games weren't obnoxious about "inclusion". In 2004 you could make a game or movie about niggers in the hood and people would enjoy it. I don't remember anyone complaining that hood movies like Boyz n the hood or menace ii society had too many niggers but those movies weren't demanding white people bow down for them.
It's like anything else, if I tell you "you are going to like this whether you want to or not" you're going to hate it before you even really know what it is.
If those movies I mentioned, or san Andreas, or even that horrible ps2 game 25 To Life was released today they'd be insufferable

They also had a sense of humour, and it wasn't just about 'representation'. I'm sure the twerking sheboons could be hilarious, but we really have to see, especially with 'being more sensitive to minorities' a high priority for Rockstar. Minstrels aren't DEI, for example.

I guess there were a lot of obnoxious proto-inclusive things about le black man being screwed over by evil white society, but it was less prevalent, and didn't always warp the things in which they were included as much. It is just something that can happen with media: it can be used as propaganda, through the power of completely fictional stories that attempt to send moral messages with invented premises. Ahem, Uncle Tom's Cabin.
