What are your thoughts on this new DLC. I wanted to give it a few days to give my take on it. There still seems to have several bugs with loading and other issues. So far though I have enjoyed it! The missions and gambling is fun, just not sure about the longevity of it. I like the new cars so far and it's nice they tamed the advanced handling flags on the older vehicles as well!

Monetisation wise this must be one of the better dlcs. No highly weaponized overpriced crap and the more optional stuff is what costs more. The implementation of chips is a mess though and people who are locked out of gambling can't even get penthouse customisation. Even people with millions on their bank account have a slightly difficult time to get enough chips to buy that stuff. Wish chips were only aquirable through missions and that bloody shop had $ prices. Half the coop missions are cool, the rest is hell and so is getting progress. Also it sucks that the diamond program really only exists on R*'s article. Difficult to know your current progress and getting into any specific mission as host or helper is stupidly complicated. But I like the free roam missions, even though the pay isn't great.
Oh yeah and no longevity in this, which is a shame. They could have turned the free roam missions into more of a business thing, that would have made it better as long as it payed well.

I like the cars. Won the Thrax so far. Glad I didnt pay for it though.
The rest...? Absolutely. Positively. Without a doubt. NOT worth the increase in lag, disconnections and bugs etc.
There's way too many to list but the things that are bugging me the most are:
Disconnects and failed servers have increased quite a bit.
The interaction menu is exponentially worse now: Instead of MC and CEO options randomly coming and going, now they just randomly go. And its more randomly.
Same with interaction menu while in helis; half the time it doesn't load at all.
The weapon workshop in the MOC still won't let you use D-pad right to access weapons and ammo refills about a third of the time, have to restart the game. Used to be you might get it to work by going outside the bunker and calling the MOC then entering, but now that doesn't happen any more.
The time it takes to get in and out of the MOC has easily doubled from 10-15 second to 20-30 seconds depending on how full the server is.
The time it takes to get in and out of the Bandito has increased similarly to the MOC. Sometime it just takes so long that once you finally load in, it kicks you straight out of the Bandito and you have to wait for the cool down again.
Map blips jumping all over from general lag.
Map blips switching back and forth from passive to not passive several times.
The changes to passive are interesting. But they really buffed the Oppressor MkII: If you're on the ground you cannot lock on to them any more so they can spam you with rockets easier than before. Much, MUCH easier than before. The only counters to this thing are other MkII's, Jets and a MkII sniper rifle with explosive ammo, but you have to be quick to get them.
There's a lot more but that's what currently grinds my gears.

I agree on the lag and the loading screens have gotten worse. I don't do a lot of free roam things so I don't really get effected by the Oppressors. I do love the cars so far. Gauntlet classic is very nice looking. Playing black Jack with friends has been fun but wonder about the longevity.

Casino piqued my interest, mostly if they had some kind of Texas Hold'em Poker and Blackjack. Well, they had the latter, and a bastardized 3 card poker game I've never heard of in my life. But in the end, since we're only playing against the computer and not other players, I lost interest. I don't even trust real casino's with their dealers and machines, why the heck would I trust a video game to give me fair odds and not cheat me, just in an attempt to get me to spend real $$$ (something I've never done in all my time in this game).
As for the cars, most look cool, but seems like it's the same old "What's the new fastest car, everyone go get that" routine.
