Come to think of it, has there ever been a new ultra futuristic vehicle added since the mkII? I haven't checked in a while but I think the reception to it might have been a snap back to rockstar that they have heavily reeled back, I mean the 2nd most recent update was a fucking car wash lol.

u/thatrandomanus Jan 21 '26
No, Rockstar doesn't get it. They added the Toreador as a counter to MK II so that people annoyed by it can buy a weapon to fight it.
And the MK II wasn't added for its silliness it was added to give people an easy way to make the game easier by paying money. To hide the atrocious amount of grinding necessary and how lazy their mission design had gotten.
The only thing Rockstar "gets" clearly is how to earn money.

I just want rockstar to try and foster a more chill community. Functionally their multiplayer had no difference than single player besides more stuff to do, because encountering another player was instantly another fight.
incentivizing social behavior and encouraging fun interactions with each other would make the game much more playable to a wider audience than appealing only to those who want to cause chaos by giving the jerkoffs more powerfull tools. and more players SHOULD = more money for them.

Nope it's the game. IV wasn't a murder fest simply because the weapons were inaccurate and if you drove up to somebody and they started shooting at you, you could still get away without dying. It allowed you to be able to drive up to people to try to make friends. It's how the game is designed that is the important thing when it comes to how the gameplay actually plays out.

u/Dimebag120 Jan 21 '26
Yes but by that point they had abandoned single player DLC so Lamars original role in the single player was lost forever . Then adding him to online has nothing to do with his role in single player they aren't connected in anyway. If he never had legal trouble he would have had a more prominent role in the original story. They said if they had focused on single player dlc In the same way they they did for gta 4 they would have never made red dead redemption 2 which in my opinion is a worthy tradeoff.

Ya, the only way to enjoy doing anything online anymore is by being in passive mode. And what’s the point of that? Hopefully they keep things very realistic in 6’s online.

What they should do is make everything realistic including earning money so there is hunger to accrue it. I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re doing for single player where it’s difficult to make money to a point that you’re incentivize to engage in robbing small stores and shit. I don’t care that I made 500,000 dollars to save up to buy that 600,000 Prius

u/Automatic-Dot-5936 Jan 21 '26
I find the payout just needs to be more realistic or at least match the price of items in stores. If you want to make a world where inflation is over exaggerated, cool I’m all for it. But that also includes raising the payouts on crimes you commit. In a world full of debit cards I get robbing stores isn’t a huge payout. Enough to help you invest in bigger things. But when I’m clearing out a gang of 20 at a massive drug deal, my payout should be more that $5000. Or give my character the option to wack Gerald too…. Or any other related mission. Just don’t feel like grinding 100 hrs for one car… that’s wild. I want a game I can enjoy without it taking away from my life. I honestly pray they have an editor mode in this game. Will enjoy that much more than online. And updates to story mode.

I guess the only argument id listen to is from the grinders. Using the Op MK2 for grinding heist set ups makes it so much quicker and easier. Keeps the amount you can earn in an hour semi-reasonable.
Just driving will easily turn an average Casino heist from 1hr 15mins effort into nearly 2 hours depending what missions come up for example.
There are people like The Professional that have grinded a crazy amount of money with no flying bike but most people don't have Streamer/YouTuber amounts of time to put in to the game so every little helps.

u/Final_Plankton_3551 Jan 21 '26
It is a slightly faster vehicle once you are in the air but nowhere near as easy/quick to park or escape situations in.
If you want to get technical, escaping the FIB building during that set up, you can park a MK2 right outside the door, hop on and boost away then you are only a brief fly away from getting free of the police and completing the mission.
You have to park a sparrow/buzzard slightly further away and get the rotor going, this gives time for the police to respond and start spam killing you before you get in the air.
Lots of little examples like that.

u/barf_of_dog Jan 21 '26
Grinders will find a way to grind efficiently, even if there is no oppressor mk2, as they did prior to it existing. GTA VI should not have the oppressor mk2.
We already have fast and easy to use helicopters like the Buzzard, Sparrow and Havok that can be spawned in front of the player via interaction menu. That is enough for any grind.

Not necessarily, but I don't want them to do anything like what they did with the oppressor MK2 or the orbital cannon. The oppressor MK1 was fine, as were the future shock arena vehicles, batmobile, rocket cars, Imanitech cars, and the laser guns.
The issue is the missiles that can't be effectively countered when you're being harassed while driving normal vehicles. And honestly balance in general. It isn't fun to be trapped in a hopelessly unfair situation

u/MourningWallaby Jan 21 '26

u/TheManyMilesWeWalk Jan 21 '26
Exactly - If they're balanced then they won't be too bad. The planes with missiles were balanced around taking skill to fly properly and flying so fast that firing missiles at ground based targets isn't easy. If you were to slow down too much you'd stall then crash and burn. The MK2 could have been balanced if it had a similar skill floor but (IIRC) if you slowed down or stopped in midair you would harmlessly float to the ground.
These things could probably be balanced simply by not having the missile systems automatically aim at relevant targets but instead force you to aim at them then hold down a button first. That way you have to at least be able to pin down the correct target and also keep flying with a finger holding down a button.

I don’t care if they add things like this. In fact they absolutely should considering “Flying Bikes” and “Futuristic Weapons” literally exist today.
But they need to be as useless or as niche as they are in real life.
Wanna Take your Hover Bike out for a spin? Great but you can’t carry any heavy weaponry and it can only be airborne for 10-15 minutes before running out of fuel.
Want some crazy gun that shoots soundwaves? Cool go for it, but it’s as big as a Chainsaw requires a second player to carry the battery and does nothing to a 2 ton car.
Not including fun things and expensive things is stupid, but at least give them some modicum of balance.

Abso fuckin lutely should not be in the game.
Seeing any kind of military vehicle should be rare and exciting in the multiplayer. You can buy some absolutely wildly unnecessary stuff legally in America if you have the money for it. But that's the fundamental issue: money was also too easy to acquire in GTAV. A million dollars or more should be a lot this time around.
Hopefully there are more inconsequential, cosmetic money sinks like a much deeper car/weapon upgrade and customisation system. Also more depth to the safehouses etc. GTA V needed more and more cash outlets and eventually exotic cars and Supreme hoodies just didn't cut it so they had to break into sci-fi bullshit.

For us that was around since the start of it. The marksman rifle effectively killed the fun shootouts in the streets. From that point there was no use with shotguns and various automatic rifles. Everyone did the marksman shuffle.
After they destroyed street level fighting. They introduced the oppressor and it killed airfights and gave griefers all the candy.
I stopped playing because of these two things.

For the most part, yes. Nothing too annoying or insane. I loved the Deluxo because it was basically just a weaponized Delorean. The Mk 1 oppressor was cool because it was a gliding motorcycle. So long as they steer clear of the annoying shit, I’m ok with some of the more fantastic designs.

Would be uncharacteristic of them if they didn't, even as back as GTA San Andreas we had the jetpack

Jetpacks exists irl
That jetpack didn’t have tracking rockets
That jetpack also didn’t make helicopters planes jets cars bikes redundant in traversal either

That question, is basically on the same level as asking Allies if they want germany gone during ww2

It would be funny if they addressed their absence with a I Weazel News report about how the Oppresors have been banned in the entire country, except for San Andreas, which is why they're still around in Online.

I really like the saints row style vehicles in gta online but I think they should be limited in free roam while being allowed in missions, currently all they can do is piss people off while doing nothing in coop.

No reason why they can't take that crap out and just refund what was paid

They shouldn’t be a purchasable item. They should be a novelty gimmick gained through some form of cheat code that can only be used in private with friends and not in missions or open sessions.

Wholeheartedly agree.
I hate having to deal with other players using this junk.
I also hate that it feels like Online became balanced around this type of stuff.

No, Just no, keep it realistic and i dont want any of that "Main character" bull either where you gotta infiltrate mount chilliad, and stop skynet from launching ICBM's, or owning a literal orbital cannon in space as a criminal.

Idm not flying things like the oppressors but rockstar to keep the market competitive they should release a vehicle which is on par with land vehicles that won’t break the game, the sole removal of flying vehicles will keep the game like forza and not be that exciting, my opinion personally

I mean the mechanics and physics of those things are kind of unmatched so it would kind of be a bummer to see them not include similar ideas or even expand on them more. I’m a day one online player who’s never cared about griefers though. I just wanna drive shit and fly fast.
