I was just about to comment this. Pegasus calling is madly outdated and should only be used when you want one more vehicle or spawning points somehow prevents you from getting your plane/heli. (For instance, you're a CEO and can't do the MC trick which removes vehicles). The canals down there are perfect landing strips. I even drive my Seabreeze up the hill to my nightclub back entrance parking lot not far south from here, as a daily commute. Great content as always!
@@Henkibojj Thank you! Yes, several players have suggested landing in the LS River canal behind Videogeddon. That is a great point and I wish I had covered that in this video.
@@Champlette2 The main advantage of having a hangar is definitely not making money, but making everything air vehicle related sooo much more convenient and fun. The spawning points of personal air vehicles are way better than the Pegasus ones. I'm using my fully upgraded Seabreeze more than I use the Buzzard or Hydra, and I only bought the Mk2 for practical MC grinding reasons. I really don't enjoy the vehicle at all, actually, and I'm not too sure it's more effective than the Buzzard in CEO crate missions, even with the Terrorbyte.
I’m so glad you are uploading videos almost every week! It is like taking a night class on real estate and business management for GTA Online. I love it! Keep up the great work and thank you for all the location information. Blessings!!!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I'm probably closer to a video every other week, but at least I'm getting some out now. I've got several more ideas, but one of them is going to be a whopper that will require a lot of data tracking, so it might take a while to produce.
Omg you’re back! I love you champlette when I started playing gta online I always watched your videos, years have passed and now that I have everything I want in game watching you again brings back memories and it’s even more fun thanks to the experience I have acquired! You helped me make millions and the right purchases! Your videos are unique in the gta online community, they’re always relaxing, thoughtful and informative! Keep on keeping on you’re amazing I missed your content!!!
Videogeddon probably best location since it's close to the casino and if your trying to do elite challenge for the casino heist u will be finishing it much faster thanks for the video really helpful good to see another upload!
So nice to have you back! :) Also I chose the Paleto Bay one simply because I love the little decals out on the front haha. I also find Paleto Bay rather peaceful and it's nice to have a business in the area that not a lot of players hang out in.
I picked La Mesa despite those little gripes. The storm drain running all the way behind it is great for spawning or landing aircraft, taking a shortcut or evading police. And like the nightclub just down the street the various overpasses offer cover from losers trying to shoot at you from the air. Also, if you have the Maze Bank Tower CEO office you can jump off the roof and parachute to either this arcade or the nightclub on the same street.
I bought Videogeddon arcade initially and loved the proximity to the casino and eventually got used to taking the other alley entrance to the garage door rather than the map suggested route. It was nice to be close to the lsc and ammunation. I even enjoyed piloting the buzzard into the parking lot beneath the freeway overpass. During the arcade sale I opted to move to the Insert Coin arcade because the rear space is huge and I like the multiple alley entrances, the parking garage is also pretty neat to lose pursuers and cops. It also made sense to buy a Del Perro apartment close buy to make car shuffling between the arcade and garage easier.
I had Insert Coin since the arcades first came out. I really liked it. After buying them all for this video, I ended up with Eight Bit. I'm going to give it a try for a little while but I can always go back to Insert Coin if Eight Bit doesn't work out.
Champlette2 No way! How on earth did I miss this? The only arcades I knew about were the ones inside your penthouse. I played some in May and didn’t see anything about an arcade business. Is it more of a place you just hang out at or do you run supply and sell missions from it too?
@@JC-li8kk It has a fancy computer (called the MCT) in the basement where you can check the supplies and stock of all of your businesses, and you can even buy supplies from there (unlike the TerrorByte where you can only steal supplies). The Arcade has a heist room where you can plan the host the Casino Heist. As for the actual Arcade itself, you just hang out and play the games in there. It's not an actual (substantial) money making business. It makes a little money in a safe, similar to the popularity in the nightclub.
Great video btw. Not many (if any) others go into such detail. I own Videogeddon (after owning Pixel Pete's & Insert Coin) and the main upsides for my type of gameplay are: 1) It's immediately next door to one of my large crate warehouses, so I can run in there after delivering crates and use the MCT to monitor/sell stock or buy more crates. 2) My personal aircraft will spawn pretty close-by in the storm drain behind the building. Handy if I want a Cargobob for I/E, or a weaponised vehicle for some PvP.
Did all my grinding from Videogeddon, now I'm moving to Insert Coin. I personally hate the trash all over the ground at the entrance of 8-Bit. That and its mega-popularity with other players (Videogeddon has a similar problem) makes me fade it. Arguably, Insert Coin is the best location to support PvP in freemode (using the garage to repair your vehicle, using the drone station, etc). I will miss the usage of the storm drain at Videogeddon. But I'm just so bored of that location now.
I had Insert Coin for a while, and I like where it is on the map, but the distance between the garage door and the on-foot door was too much of a hassle for me. If I left on foot through the garage door, my vehicle would often be spawned on the street so I'd have to run there on foot, and that spawn just wasn't convenient enough for my tastes. I have 8 Bit, and I also have the Downtown Vinewood nightclub too, so I've learned to avoid the trash by the doors by mostly entering through the garage doors.
@@Omni0404 LOL! It's probably because I'm reading from a script. When I have a lot of information to cover, I tend to write out the script and practice it with the video so the timing works out, and then I just read from the script when I record it. I guess I sound relaxing when I do that, ha ha!
Another great and informative video :) Hope it's ok if I share a couple personal tips for anybody deciding which to buy. Imo the 2 best ones for the heist and in general are 8-bit in Vinewood and Videogeddon in La Mesa. My friends own Videogeddon, I went with 8-bit and after doing preps from both and seeing how each arcade helps with running your businesses, I believe 8-bit wins in the end simply thanks to the last point bellow. But you can't go wrong with either of those 2. Videogeddon: - You can spawn attack helicopters and jets in the canal within running distance. Imo better spawn than for even Wonderama at the airfield. - The canal and rail tracks leading to/from nearby tunnels can be used to easily lose cops in land vehicles, especially if coming from the eastern highway. - One of the best large warehouses (Darnell bros) is basically next door, alowing you to use Master Control Terminal in the arcade to source crates without returning to the office or without having a Terrorbyte parked there (it can instead be parked at a 2nd warehouse and you can source crates continuously without any cooldown since you'd be alternating between 2 warehouses). 8-bit: - Jets spawn on the beach to the west, not terrible, but not great, however all the preps can easily be done with Mk2 anyway. - Way less variable spawns / locations of targets for the prep missions, but most of them are great and closer than for Videogeddon. - Another best large warehouse nearby (West Winewood backlot) easily managable from MCT in the arcade. - Generally good central location for starting source missions. - Amazing garage door placement. Which was nicely seen in the video. Delivering heist prep vehicles is super easy. - But the best thing about 8-bit and imo better than all the other advantages combined has to be the Eclipse Towers nearby while owning an apartment there. Just by having a heist running (for example by doing the 1st setup for Fleeca heist) you can teleport back there anytime from anywhere on the map thanks to Lester's SMS. Which means you will be teleported almost next to your arcade, from where you can either start another prep super fast or run your whole business empire thanks to the MCT.
I'm going Eight-Bit since it's a straight shot to the casino and so close to the majority of my other properties. I almost went with Videogeddon but I don't like the garage situation.
Thank you very much! I make videos like this for businesses and I also have a video about managing the gaming consoles inside your arcade, if you're interested. Thanks for visiting my channel!
@@huesos_azules I think it depends on how you prefer to play. If you plan to do the Diamond Casino heist frequently, 8 Bit and Videogeddon would be better choices because they're closer to the heist missions. If you have more businesses near the west coast, you might like Insert Coin better. Speaking from my personal preferences, I love the entrances at 8 Bit. It's got great parking and the foot entry door is close to the garage door and both are so easy to access from the street. Insert Coin has great parking and access, but the doors are far apart from each other so if you leave through the door but your vehicle is parked by the garage door, it's a pretty long run. Videogeddon has lousy helicopter access and no good parking for vehicles, but it's a good location on the map for a business, so you need to decide how important the parking is to you. I hope that helps!
@@Champlette2 finally decided on insert coin. in my head canon the wine shop formerly at that location had an underground wine cellar that has been refurbished as the ultimate crime lair
Good video. After doing heaps of casino preps and heists from my friends arcades, I got my requirements. 1. garage access off the road for prep fetch missions. 2. landing space and aircraft spawn points. 3. looks of the building for arcade immersion. Distance to casino dont matter to me. Others will care about this. Now waiting for arcade discount week to come. Got my bunker， hangar and nightclub already.
@@Champlette2 I am looking at Grapeseed (for the immersion mostly, not practicality of running missions). Love the looks of it! Good garage access by the road, nice big parking lot for air vehicles. Davis arcade - if I had my CEO vehicle warehouse next door, would love my properties side by side! Sadly, my warehouse is at La Mesa. Good garage access by the road, nice big parking lot for air vehicles. I might consider this if there is a vehicle warehouse sale then I can move it here. The arcade master console will come in handy here! Rockford - my CEO office & garage showroom is at Maze Bank, NC is at Vespucci. Still checking out the place at the moment. Would like to cluster my properties together.
For videogeddon location (which I have because my friends do too for casino and such), you can spawn helicoptors (akula etc) and jets in the canals nearby, plus theres sneaky tunnels leading to the canals you can hide in and evade the cops.
Honestly you should have way more subs and views. I don't see really any other youtuber going into this much detail as you do, You sound very genuine and caring and always take the time to reply to messages. I just wanna say we appreciate your time and effort to do these videos. As far as arcades go, I went with eight bit, Great little spot right next to eclipse tower and downtown vinewood nc close by and casino/penthouse less than 1m away.
Eight bit arcade is a very good place where you can complete your preps quicker since most of the preps are under 2km away. And it's at Central position so it's closer to businesses as well. Downside is the cost but you could shift to that when it goes on sale. And you won't lose the master control terminal when you switch the arcade. Best one for a beginner will be videogeddan. And once you make enough money and arcade goes on sale get the 8 bit.
Good advice, thank you! It's cool that you mentioned not losing the MCT when you move to a new arcade. I'm planning to create a video to document what you lose and what you don't when you trade different properties for a new one. That's always an important question I am asked frequently about the various properties.
Champlette2 I own the eight bit arcade and is the best arcade location. Note: Do not bye the arcade in paleto bay. Is too too far from the casino.Also if everyone buys this arcade so this area is populated. Last when you do setups the most frequent locations are in the middle of the map and in the city!
Another perk for the Videogeddon location, besides that the casino is very near, is that the Darnell Bros. large warehouse is literally right next door. Makes it pretty convenient to start CEO Crate sourcing missions from Videogeddon and not have to call in the Terrorbyte.
Great point! I don't have many cargo warehouses, so I totally forgot there was a large one that's close. I have a small one right next to that Ammunation, so there's another one nearby too!
Great video as usual! I really lile the looks of the Wonderama and the David ones, but I'm extremely happy with the Videogeddon one, since I have almost all of my buisnesses in La Mesa and it's the best one for Elite Challenge on the Casino Heist. The thing I dislike the most about my Arcade is that highway and all of the obstacles, they're not only for ground vehicles but there's plenty of polls, towers and bridges to avoid with the Mk II, but it's made so much money thay I don't bother.
That's a good point. I probably should have flown in above the building to show what that was like too. You're right though, the La Mesa arcade has a lot going for it, but that garage entrance and crowded street are a lot to overlook.
That was very kind of you to say and I greatly appreciate it. I know there are many GTA videos on RUclips to choose from, so thank you for taking the time to watch mine!
Clear consistent views of each one, nice touch with the MK2 and vehicle spawns too. Great video as usual. I already had 8 Bit, so I am keeping it. I must say I really love the outside of Wonderama, but it's a bit too far north for me. You are my goto when buying properties. Loving La Puerta since I switched vehicles warehouses. I see your still at Lombank, but I am enjoying Maze Tower too much. :) A choice also based on your videos.
Thanks so much! Yes, I'm still at Lombank. It just feels like home now. I've moved to Arcadius a few times because I absolutely love that building, but the roof access and helipad at Lombank are so perfect that I keep moving back there.
Are you a School Teacher? If not, ill continue joining your classes here, taking notes, do my homework, and get great results from what I've learned from you. Love your accent, listening to you is relaxing, I guess that's one of the reasons your Hubby Married you 😆 Imjust recently subbed and glad I did. Thanks again Ma'am, for this great less today.
HA HA! Nope, not a teacher, just a data geek. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky that my Hubby married me, but I'm sure glad he did! Thanks a bunch for subscribing!! I'll see you here again, I hope.
Guess I'm just gonna keep my Warehouse Arcade in Davis. Too convenient seeing as how I do have the vehicle warehouse nextdoor. Just wanted to at least see my options since I don't believe I did when the arcades first came out. Was just thinking maybe I wanted one of the arcades with a more finished exterior.(Videogeddon, Pixel Pete's, etc.) The Warehouse is fine though. Thanks for the research. Keep up the good work.
@@Champlette2 this is the only place I go to for location reviews for sure. As long as you're here & have a video on it then I will be too. LOL Wishing the best for you & yours in 2023 as well. Thank you.
I wanted Wonderama aesthetic-wise but I got Insert Coin bc Rockford Hills is a good location and it fits the scenery it's in, and Eight Bit has annoying billboards while La Mesa is used by too many. I really wanted a Grapeseed property but since this is based on heists, it's very unconventional to have one up north rather than the city.
Yes, if you intend to do the casino heist regularly, it doesn't make sense to have an arcade that far away from the casino. However, if you're someone like me who still hasn't even completed the casino heist for the first time, I use the arcade more for managing my businesses. If you like to sell from MC businesses located in Blaine County, having an arcade up north might be very handy.
@@Champlette2 I have 18 million at most times so I don't *really* need to do the heists themselves but I try to do them sometimes to help friends gain their money because my usual grind on VIP Work takes too much time for them to be invested. I've actually loved the arcade side of the arcade, and bought about half of all the cabinets by now.
@@Champlette2 Oh pinball is something that is missing from the arcades to get the full feeling. My favorite is the QUB3D machine from the recent update. Also when I've been thrown to public sessions, even as a 498 rank I've visited random people's arcades and played on the machines. About every 6th of them are just filled with Monkey's Paradise to get the obvious cash, while every 3rd I've seen they actually have almost all of the cabinets set up and it's always a nice inspiration.
@@Chillwave6 I like QUB3D too! I had one of every machine in my arcade, then I decided to thin it down to just the games I might want to play. I really like it that way. I only make about $3500 per GTA, but I'm not going to miss that tiny amount of money.
Actually, I found that I wish my Arcade was a little further away from my office. It's nice having the computer in the Arcade where I can source a car or crates, but my office is so close by that it's not a huge time savings for me. I almost wish I had the arcade in Davis so I'd be closer to my vehicle warehouse, but I really like the location of Eight Bit so I'm not moving.
Really felt like using Wonderama because the aesthetic is good and Grapeseed is lowkey fun. But since nobody really would appreciate if I place my property 4 miles away from the heist, I had to choose the boring Insert Coin.
@@Chillwave6 I think the Davis arcade is really underrated. It's not too far from the arcade, but it is in an interesting area, especially with Arena Wars so close and a vehicle warehouse in the same building as the arcade. It's just hard to overlook all of the gang activity around that building.
@@Champlette2 true, I did consider it since I do like the style of the neighborhood and my special cargo warehouse is nearby. But again, not really optimal in case of heists. I do have money to spend so I could of course switch the arcade.
I didn't knew your channel (also, I'm kinda new into GTAO) but wow, it was incredibly well explained! Anytime I'll need any info from businesses I'll definetely come to this channel, thanks for your work!
Great video! I got Pixel Pete's/Paleto Arcade for free by linking my twitch prime account! I haven't done the Casino Heist, but I found the MCT VERY useful and frequently set my Arcade as a spawn point. Starting from Paleto was not ideal. I regrettably experimented with "The Warehouse" Arcade at Davis, even moving my vehicle warehouse next door. Although having the warehouse and the arcade next to each other was pretty novel and convenient (and also being able to buy snacks nearby), The NPC traffic was VERY annoying, especially out of the Arcade garage. My OpMk2 frequently got bumped by traffic as I boarded and tried to ride it out, frequently and no matter what time of day despite it having a very small footprint The Vehicle Warehouse was not bad, I like that it was the same location as Franklin's garage in story mode and it's easy enough to cargobob I/E vehicles in and out, but occasionally I do like to drive the nicer faster cars and the local gang activity is not very friendly if I have chasers also shooting at me. I moved my Arcade to Rockford Hills and my Vehicle Warehouse back to La Puerta where it's ideally placed IMHO. I think you commented it as one of the best locations in one of your other vids. If I need to begin vehicle sourcing nearby the Warehouse, the I just spawn in a Terrorbyte. I have to say, the exterior to the Insert Coin Arcade is the best looking one in the game! It has a clean exterior A huge old school sign and looks like an actual functional business and not something pasted onto a derelict building. If my requested vehicles spawned in front of the garage door instead of all the way onto the busy street, I would have kept that location! Ultimately I have settled for the 8-bit at vinewood. It's an Ideal location from a pure solo grinder perspective, with close proximity to Eclipse and Tinsel Towers and a straight shot to the Nightclub and a bit of flying to some of my MC businesses. My favorite part is that the arcade garage entrance and the main entrance are next to each other, and the vehicles spawned from the garage door rarely gets in the way of NPC traffic. The only annoying part is looking at the dumpster and all the scattered trash every time I have the 8-bit as my spawn point and that's very frequently!
Wow, we must think a lot alike because except for the part about the Davis arcade, I could have written what you just wrote! I loved the look of the Insert Coin arcade too, but I grew to be very unhappy with the garage door being on the back. I'm happier at Eight Bit now. And yes, I have said I wouldn't trade La Puerta for any other vehicle warehouse in the game. It's most definitely my favorite. Good luck with your new configuration!
@@Champlette2 Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment! I found your videos very helpful in optimizing my setup, though I should stop making arbitrary changes that cost too much in game money because it looks like a new DLC is just around the corner and of course the announcement of GTAO continuing onto the next console platform generation should keep one of my all time fave games fun and interesting. Please keep up the great content!
Ok that was helpful. As usual, I’m very torn about which location to pick. Sometimes I try to spread out my properties just to experience the variety of different atmospheres and not get stuck looking at the same old stuff all the time. That is why I am leaning towards Wonderama in Grapeseed. I love the look of that building the most, especially at night. Definitely has a retro, life before the big city feel to it.It also solves all the traffic issues and the typical hustle and bustle of the city that I experience with 70% of my properties. My only disadvantage is I have no clue how the business or heists work so I’m not sure if that will be a negative consequence. Is this a business at all or strictly used for heists?
J C It’s basically a business front for the Casino Heist operation. Once you setup your arcade it will generate passive income similar to the nightclub and you grab the earnings from the safe. I have not started any of the heist prep, since I mostly grind solo, but supposedly players can do all of the heist preparation solo and you can hire NPCs to fill part of the heist work similar to single player, but you will need one or more players to complete the actual heist. Aside from the passive income, you can setup a “Master Control Terminal” which gives you a Central place to help run the Nightclub Warehouse, MC Businesses, Vehicle Import/Export Warehouse, CEO Warehouses, and Hangar Warehouse operations. If you take advantage of it, the Arcade becomes a frequent spawn point to help manage most of your business operations.
liquidmojo ok thanks. Sounds like I’ll be spending a lot of time there if you can control all businesses through it. Maybe not the best property to put out in the middle of nowhere lol. I really wish they put it in Sandy Shores instead.
M'really loving ur location videos! I've done some scounting meself but there where many things that I missed or couldn't see for not owning those places so these series come really in handy. Thank you a ton!
You're very welcome!! It's hard to think of all the details when you're checking out the property locations. I have been burned more than once by choosing a location and immediately regretting it, so that's why I started making these videos.
Thank you! It's really great to be back. I just kept Eight Bit after I bought each of the arcades for my video. I am interested to see if I end up liking that one.
@SOTORIOUS I'm happy to hear you like Chumash! The Insert Coin arcade is great except for one thing that really bugged me. The garage door and the main entrance are really far apart at Insert Coin. If you park near the street and walk in the main door and later leave out the garage door, you have to run all the way down the length of the building to get back to your vehicle. Also, sometimes I would park my vehicle right by the garage door and go in, but when I'd leave on foot through the garage door, my vehicle had be relocated out to the street in front of the arcade instead of staying where I left it. I know this is a minor issue, but I found it irritating. I like how the door and the garage door are close to each other at 8 Bit. I can park right in front of the arcade and no matter which door I use, I don't have to go far to get back to my vehicle.
@SOTORIOUS Those are all the same reasons I chose 8 Bit too. I like that it's close to the Eclipse Tower too. It gives me a good reason to stop by my penthouse once in a while.
4:06 I went to check out the Grapeseed arcade again, and standing there where you are, I noticed in the blue machine inside is a figurine! Had to shoot the window open to climb in.
Thank you as usual for your informative videos! I found the distance to the Casino and other points of interest for the various arcades, particularly useful! I thought it’s also worth noting, if you are a member of Twitch Prime and have your Rockstar social club linked, you get the Pixel Pete’s in Paleto Bay for free!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for!!! Took me awhile and a few different way of wording the search but your video was exactly what I was hoping to find, Thank you so much for making great content!!! Funny thing is I was already a subscriber, think I need to start on your channel when I have a GTA question!!
very usefull even for high levels like me. I would really love to see more videos from you. As i have told u several times your videos are the most educative from all the gta youtubers. Best regards my lady-
It seems somewhat weird to me that most of these Arcades don't even look like a real one. The only one that looks like a real arcade and has an arcade-like appealing on my book, is Wonderama (Grapeseed) and perhaps Insert Coin (Rockford Hills). Anyways, it's just about buying the arcade the player likes and feels identified with. My first arcade was Pixel's Pete (Paleto Bay) the farthest one. After a while, I realised that something was wrong with me. I used to have the cheapest properties, all of them at Paleto Bay (Bunker, Facility and obviously Arcade), not the Clubhouse, as I got it nearby Route 68. Unfortunately, I ran out of money for relocating my Arcade, so I decided to wait to get the money. The waiting was worth it, as I played all the Doomsday Heist and I saved up all the money in order to relocating it. Los Santos' Arcades were the hardest ones for me to choose. Personally, I dislike Eight-Bit (Vinewood Hills) because it is rather dirty at the entrance, and I tend to be whimsical about cleaning. Warehouse (Davis) on the other hand, it looks like a warehouse obviously; I know it is close by a garage (Franklin's garage), but the garage's entrance is badly placed. Moreover, it's nearby Grove Street, and Ballas may bust a cap on you. Therefore, the last ones are Insert Coin and Videogeddon. Currently, I got Videogeddon because it comes in handy for the Elite Challenge, which is something that certain players are looking for. I really enjoy your analysis. Best regards.
Thank you for sharing your insights. Hopefully viewers can learn from your experiences. I'm happy to hear you found some properties that work better for you.
Just found your channel today and oh! it was a blessing haha I watched all your videos on the best locations for all businesses. Such great detailed guides! I already decided on Bunker, Facility, Clubhouse , Nightclub and Arcade. Im still confused about the MC businesses ... all my friends have them in the city but I read something about that if u have them in Blaine county around Route 68 area u can sell the stock for more money to LS(same money from paleto bay)? But I don't know if it would be as efficient and less time-consuming as if u were selling from LS to Blaine county instead...
I'm so happy you found my channel and that these videos helped you! As for the MC businesses, you can sell from LS to Blaine County for a bonus and you can also sell from Blaine County to Los Santos for a bonus. So, you have to think about how you prefer to play. For example, say you like to sell your bunker before you sell from your MC businesses. When you sell from your bunker in LS, you'll finish in Blaine County so it would be handy if your MC businesses were close by in Blaine County. This also works if you sell from your MC business first which would end up in LS and then you'd be closer to your bunker or nightclub. On the other hand, you might want to split your MC businesses and have some in the city and some in the county so you can go back and forth between them. In my opinion, I'd recommend just buying the most affordable locations in Blaine County. The profits aren't super high from the MC businesses, so you'll save some money by not spending a lot more on the LS locations. I made a Business Buyer's Guide for new players video, but it's got some good info for existing players too. Looking at the profits from each business may also help you decide how much you want to spend on the properties. Best of luck!
Thanks! I haven't even tried most of the arcade games yet. I've only bought one of them with the little grabber that picks up stuffed animals. That one is really difficult!
U have to take a picture of the vault door blueprint in miss Baker's office during the casino scope out. Then you can buy the vault door for your arcade from the prep board in your arcade. You can also buy the hacking device and casino model for your arcade, from the heist prep board
Question: I was dumb by buying the Paleto Bay arcade a while back, moved a bunch of vehicles and arcade machines into the place but now I want to buy the Rockford Hills location after getting sick of preps taking awhile. Would changing arcades transfer my garaged vehicles and arcade machines after getting the new location? I rarely buy new properties, hell I even have my first high end apartment from starting the game so this would be good to know.
I made a whole video about relocating each property. This will tell you exactly what will happen when you move to a new arcade. I started the video in this shortcut right at the point where it covers arcades. ruclips.net/video/Jrz-PTSvAfk/видео.html
I'm still on the fence. I bought Insert Coin when the Arcades first came out and I've had that one until I made this video. I bought them from cheapest to most expensive so I ended up with Eight Bit. I like how the garage door is right on the main street and closer to the front door. I'm going to stick with this one for a while and see how i like it.
Which arcade do you own? I'm torn between 8 bit and insert coin. Both are convenient to all of my businesses. 8 bit has the ugly dumpster by the door with trash around it. That kinda hurts the curb appeal to me
I started at Insert Coin, but I moved to Eight Bit and I still have that one. I found the parking at Insert Coin to be disappointing. One think I love about Eight Bit is that whether I part at the garage door or near the front door, I can leave through either one and still be close to my vehicle. When I was at Insert Coin, sometimes I'd park near the garage door and I'd forget where I parked. When I walked out the front door, I had to run down the alley to get to my vehicle. I love how close the garage door and arcade door are to each other at Eight Bit. I also like all of that parking room in front of the Beta Pharmaceuticals building next door. I can even land a Cargobob or a Hydra there or park my TerrorByte or Acid Lab there very easily.
@@Champlette2 thank you for your reply. I'll be going with 8 bit. I've only been playing GTA for about a year. It seems like every time I look up any property, your RUclips channel pops up first lol I love the details of your videos and they have helped me a lot. I also follow your discord which has also been very helpful. Thank you again. I'll be watching your other video on all the arcade details and games next.
@@thecarguy2470 I greatly appreciate both follows! Thank you so much! The property stuff is kinda' my niche. I haven't seen that many other RUclipsrs who focus on that, which is exactly why I started making them in the first place. I bought an apartment at Integrity Way a loooooooong time ago (back before CEO/MC President and such) and I hated it. There was no video to tell me what to expect from it, so I didn't know I wasn't going to like it. Back then, the cost of that apartment left a huge dent in my small bank account, so that's when I decided to start making property videos.
Hello, thanks a lot for your video. Which arcade do you currently own and which one is your favorite please? Ans which one has the closest prep missions ? I think its eight bit but i'm not sure... Thanks
I have the Eight Bit arcade. I owned the one in Del Perro for a while, but I like Eight Bit much better. The parking is a lot better and the location is pretty good for the preps. The preps tend to be all over the city and the locations of the preps can change (such as the police station with the Longfin boat might be in Vespucci, or Vinewood, or La Mesa) but I haven't found any preps to be inconvenient from the Eight Bit location.
Ended up focused on the shirt, where that come from? and bit offtopic, are you much of a crate runner? its 2x crate week but of what i read, doing crates is responsible for your office becoming a complete mess with money all over the floors and furniture. Your lombank review for example, showed a pretty sweet, clean office, wondered if it became cluttered since.
That shirt is from the Gunrunning collection, I believe. I think there are maybe 4 shirts like that one. Nope, I quit doing the special cargo crates years ago, except for when I need to have footage for a video. My Lombank office does have a lot more clutter than I'd like, but I've never sold a single crate on my secondary character and her office is spotless!!
@@Champlette2 Looks very cool, i'll have to try and find it, it even looks like its lighting up at points. So you'd recommend, for someone that wants to keep a CEO office as spotless (!!!) as champs (i just had to buy lombanks because of your video, champlette getting everyone in debt), to not do crates at all, is that right? because of the research i did on it, its my understanding that once theres stuff on the floor (because i did crates) it never goes away unless your bank account drops to zero. I don't mind money in the safe, but all over the floor and in the hallways, big nono. And thanks for taking the time to reply to people like this.
@@SoftExo It's true that it never goes away. In fact, even if you go totally broke, the money and merchandise will come back after you start earning money again (I know, because I tested it). If you REALLY want a clean office, create a secondary character and never, never, never sell crates. You can own a warehouse for the nightclub, just don't sell crates. Yes, you'll have to buy properties, businesses, and vehicles again, but you'll keep all of the money you had with your primary character. Sometimes I'll even trade my expensive properties for the cheapest ones on my primary character to make some money back, then I have more money to buy properties again on my secondary character. If you start your secondary character with rank 120, it's not that big of a deal. As for responding to comments, I figure if people go to the trouble to write to me, the decent thing to do is to write back! :)
@@Champlette2 "never, never, never sell crates. You can own a warehouse for the nightclub, just don't sell crates" so i might be safe even in main character. When i bought the special cargo, it was that small 250k one, and with the sole purpose of linking it to nightclub (i didn't have an hangar at that point, and being relatively new, 250k was a lot easier than 1.2M). I've never done a single crate, am more of an I/E kind of guy instead. Crates begone then, im off to relax at my spotless lombank with a glass of both virtual and real scotch lol. Thanks again.
very informative video but however i feel since most would have CEO office and should own a buzzard pending how each person spends there money you could spawn the buzzard right next to you also but it is handy to know spawn locations for those who down own it ...however i fully recommend anyone who is new to the game to buy the buzzard as soon as you can afford it not straight away but it will repay you back
I totally agree. The buzzard is an outstanding early purchase for new players. You're right, I probably should have shown where the CEO buzzard spawns, but this video was already pretty long. Also, I try not to stay registered as a CEO unless I'm actually importing or exporting something, so I can cut down on the admin costs. Although, you are right, having access to a CEO buzzard whenever you want it is quite handy.
@@Champlette2 yeah i can understand that trying to keep your vids at a length you are happy with and i generally stay as a ceo particulary if im running solo publics and just churning out work after work examples constantly importing/ exporting and doing ceo vip work / terrobyte work in between its a handy method for me
I thought that might be the case. You may have noticed i was really careful in the video not to bump into anyone at the driveway to the Davis vehicle warehouse because i thought it might start trouble with the Ballas.
@@Champlette2 lol my friend have the Davis vehicle warehouse. It is hilarious when the cops and the Ballas start shooting it out in a 3 way with you if you got heat from vehicle stealing missions.
@@seb2750 Oh yeah, it's so tempting to have the Davis vehicle warehouse with the Arcade in the same building, but I'm sure those gang guys would make that a righteous pain.
i’m so tempted to move arcades! And I’ll tell you why because of your video. But you see, I have a beautiful thing going on in La Mesa. I’ve got my nightclub my arcade in my auto shop all on the street with a large warehouse in two garages 10 car, all in a row. It’s beautiful. I just can’t make myself break from my arcade in La Mesa. Did you know that most of the properties in La Mesa have Secret helicopter top access? I’m saying this to you before the video I might be looking silly because you probably covered it but you’re arcade in gorgeous senic (lol) La Mesa you can land on the building or the building next to it and there are ladders everywhere to get you on the ground. Also the night club in La Mesa it looks awful yes but it’s got a very fun area in the back with access to the train tracks plus you can land a helicopter in the back area where the rear garage is. La Mesa is amazing!
by the way, you’ve totally earned my sub. cause like WOW i’ve never seen such a good video with proper & detailed explanation. personally, i hate lengthy videos if they too naggy lmao but you really impressed me! keep it up ❤️✨
I bought Insert Coin first, but I moved to 8 Bit very soon after that. I like having the garage door and the front door close enough to each other that you can easily access your vehicle from either door. At Insert Coin, if you park your vehicle close to the garage door and then exit from your front door, you have to run the full length of the building to get to your vehicle. At 8 Bit, it's just a few steps either way. I also like that 8 Bit is closer to the casino, and to some of my other properties, and the garage door is so easily accessible from the street.
Sure! It's in the Arena Wars clothing (under tops) and there's a Future Shock group under that. They are called Two Moon shirts, I think. There's a blue one, a purple one, and a pink one. You can make them glow, not glow, or pulse. Those options are under Style in the Interaction Menu.
8 bit > videogeddon ANY DAY, it's not even close imo. stores don't really matter at all. PROS: you have that space by the garage and theres a parking lot behind it if you need even more space. really central for heist setups/MCT. garage door is in a very good location. close to the casino AND it's a straight drive there, I THINK it's faster since you don't have to turn with the gruppe6 van or the car you get and therefore slow down. eclipse apartment is very close as shown in the video, can be used as teleport/spawn point to the MCT aka all of your businesses. CONS: no close personal/pegasus aircraft spawns, I don't remember the last time I wanted one since the mk2 is just better. you'll need to drive a bit uphill if you're coming from basically anything south to it on the map, hasn't really bothered me at all tho(at least not as much as videogeddon's garage). sometimes when doing heist setups it'll spawn your mk2 a bit far(you get that with videogeddon everytime though). when doing the firefighter exit disguise setup, you can't use the garage door, instead you'll have to take the firetruck to the parking lot which has a bit of a tight enterance(again, this is videogeddon's garage at all times). I went pixel pete's > 8 bit > videogeddon > 8 bit
Your video is very helpful because I want to live in the hood but there's no houses to purchase and I also want to own a vehicle warehouse and I was thinking about buying the one on Davis Street now that I know there's a arcade at the other end I may buy arcade to and I like that Franklin's Auntie houses is down the street in the other direction I also like that the gas station is the cross street from the building I like robbing it😂😂😂 and the train tunnel is not too far where I go to hide from the police😂😂😂
I think it's a Gunrunning shirt. It's one of those glowing ones. If I remember right, I think there are maybe 4 different ones? You can control if it stays lit up, or pulses, or doesn't like up at all.
@@trevynbrewer2086 Are you referring to the equipment you have to go and collect to start the business? As I recall, it needs to be delivered to the garage door.
Ok I am here again! Which will I pick? Choices choices choices ... Im gonna play this video on loop on the phone and go to each location in game on PC lol.
@@Champlette2 9:40 there is plenty of spare roof for parking a heli :) I was scouting the place out w a stolen Bob from the hospital up north on the main road up to the shoe store. Found that I could land easily with a chubby Bob on the roof. There is a ladder down on the carpark side of the vehicle warehouse next door.
I think I may get this arcade. Then later when there is a sale on vehicle warehouse, I will empty out my vehicle warehouse to shift it next door at Davis using the Arcade master terminal to source cars. The carpark is great for the vehicle warehouse next door compared to my La Mesa warehouse, thats a nightmare to Bob stolen vehicles. ( I prefer to fly my stolen vehicles right to the door).
And saves me money from buying a Bob, I can steal one up the main road north at the hospital close to the shoe store. I am quite pleased with the business aspect of this place.
@@seb2750 I love the idea of having the arcade next door to the vehicle warehouse! If it weren't for the Ballas guys hanging around the parking lot, I think I might have made this move too. Great choice!
I haven't decided for sure yet. I was at the Insert Coin location for a long time and I recently moved to Eight Bit. I'm leaning toward saying Eight Bit is my favorite, but there are a few minor aspects of the Insert Coin location that I miss.
I had the Insert Coin arcade for a little while and I liked it a lot, except I didn't like the garage door being so far from the front door. If I parked on the street by the front door but exited through the garage door, I had to run down the alley to get to my vehicle. Now I'm at Eight Bit and that problem is solved. The garage door and the front door are conveniently close to each other so I can get to my vehicle easily no matter which door I enter and exit. I like that it's located between my Chumash bunker and my Downtown Vinewood nightclub, so it's easy for me to drop by.
@@Champlette2 thx so much:) maybe I will go with insert coin because is near my nightclub in dell perro in my office and I will move my bunker in chumash so everything is going to be nearby
One last thing 295 million! Girl I haven’t seen you so broke! Lol I’m used to you having in the upper 300s LOL your light years away from me I’m only a 20 time millionaire but I’m working on it. I just moved my agency like I said I was going to do and I got HAWIC and I love it thank you
I still have it on the PS4, but I haven't had much time to play it in a while. Every now and then, I get a craving for a stunt run and I'll break out the Desert Storm buggy and hit the streets of Paradise.
@@Bloody-cj2qv That's the Dust Storm Superturbo, which is the upgraded version of the regular Dust Storm. It's a fantastic overall stunt car. The Touge is great for really big air, and the Jansen P-12 is just about the best flat spinning car in the game. If you want to practice barrel rolls, I suggest trying the Manhattan. It's really big and slow so it gives you time to learn how to stop the barrel roll in the air so you can land. You'll be surprised how well that thing can barrel roll. It's the perfect car to learn how to barrel roll through the hoop in the airfield. Just line it up with the rear bumper up against the fence where the gap is and point it straight at the hangar ramp, then boost all the way from start to finish.
You can go AFK inside the Arcade as well. Just watch the Big TV near the main entrance. AFKing in the Arcade is best since you can reach the MCT in the basement in less than 20 seconds from the main floor.
I recently moved to the PC and I haven't bought a facility yet, but on the PS4, I had the facility that was at the end of the short runway at the Sandy Shores Airfield. When I eventually buy one for my PC character, that's probably the one I'll buy.
@@antoniskor3123 I had the Zancudo facility for about a year. I liked that location on the map because it was close to my hangar at Fort Zancudo and my bunker at Chumash. However, after hosting a few heists from there, I began to dislike (a lot) how far it was from the road. We had to run up that big hill to get to the vehicle spawns and that got old really quick. The facility by the airfield has a little dirt road next to it, so if you call the mechanic, your vehicle spawns really close to the door. I haven't hosted a heist from there, but I'm guessing the heist vehicles will either spawn on that dirt road, or on Route 68 which is a shorter run than the hill at Zancudo.
@@Champlette2 maybe I'll go with the fort zacundo because of 3 reasons 1: is much cheaper than the grand senora one 2:is closer to the town 3:it has a highway nearby
@@antoniskor3123 I highly recommend waiting for a sale on facilities if you can. They're very expensive for what you get. It's worth waiting for a sale, if you can.
Actually, no I haven't. With 5 different businesses and several locations for each one, I just never figured out a good way to make a video of all of them.
@@cagr38 Neither. I recently switched to gaming on the PC. I got tired of having to buy consoles every few years and paying subscriptions to play a game I already bought.
Just something to point out about the videogeddon, you can spawn person aircraft directly behind it down where the river is
Great tip, thank you!
I was just about to comment this. Pegasus calling is madly outdated and should only be used when you want one more vehicle or spawning points somehow prevents you from getting your plane/heli. (For instance, you're a CEO and can't do the MC trick which removes vehicles).
The canals down there are perfect landing strips. I even drive my Seabreeze up the hill to my nightclub back entrance parking lot not far south from here, as a daily commute.
Great content as always!
@@Henkibojj Thank you! Yes, several players have suggested landing in the LS River canal behind Videogeddon. That is a great point and I wish I had covered that in this video.
@@Champlette2 The main advantage of having a hangar is definitely not making money, but making everything air vehicle related sooo much more convenient and fun. The spawning points of personal air vehicles are way better than the Pegasus ones.
I'm using my fully upgraded Seabreeze more than I use the Buzzard or Hydra, and I only bought the Mk2 for practical MC grinding reasons. I really don't enjoy the vehicle at all, actually, and I'm not too sure it's more effective than the Buzzard in CEO crate missions, even with the Terrorbyte.
That's a really good point, I notice that when helping my friend out from his arcade.
I’m so glad you are uploading videos almost every week! It is like taking a night class on real estate and business management for GTA Online. I love it! Keep up the great work and thank you for all the location information. Blessings!!!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I'm probably closer to a video every other week, but at least I'm getting some out now. I've got several more ideas, but one of them is going to be a whopper that will require a lot of data tracking, so it might take a while to produce.
Omg you’re back! I love you champlette when I started playing gta online I always watched your videos, years have passed and now that I have everything I want in game watching you again brings back memories and it’s even more fun thanks to the experience I have acquired! You helped me make millions and the right purchases! Your videos are unique in the gta online community, they’re always relaxing, thoughtful and informative! Keep on keeping on you’re amazing I missed your content!!!
That's just about the nicest comment I've ever gotten. I'm truly honored. Thank you so much!! I'm glad to be back too.
Probably the best channel to review properties. IMO i like properties with exclusive parking lots.
Thank you very much! I really enjoy making the property videos. It makes me feel like a virtual real estate agent. ;)
Videogeddon probably best location since it's close to the casino and if your trying to do elite challenge for the casino heist u will be finishing it much faster thanks for the video really helpful good to see another upload!
Thank you!!
They’re back, I’ve been waiting for these videos!
I'll be releasing a design options video for the Arcades next. Stay tuned!
Champlette2 i definitely will!
Champlette2 I’ll be looking forward to that one I’m not happy with how I designed my arcade
@@gerRule I really like the 3rd style option with the red bricks. That one looks really cool.
Champlette2 yes it’s good but is it weird that I like the original plain wall?
So nice to have you back! :)
Also I chose the Paleto Bay one simply because I love the little decals out on the front haha. I also find Paleto Bay rather peaceful and it's nice to have a business in the area that not a lot of players hang out in.
Thanks, it's great to be back! I liked Pixel Pete's too. I thought the drawings on the garage door were a nice touch.
I picked La Mesa despite those little gripes. The storm drain running all the way behind it is great for spawning or landing aircraft, taking a shortcut or evading police. And like the nightclub just down the street the various overpasses offer cover from losers trying to shoot at you from the air.
Also, if you have the Maze Bank Tower CEO office you can jump off the roof and parachute to either this arcade or the nightclub on the same street.
NICE about the parachuting thing! That's pretty cool! Great tip about the LS River too.
I bought Videogeddon arcade initially and loved the proximity to the casino and eventually got used to taking the other alley entrance to the garage door rather than the map suggested route. It was nice to be close to the lsc and ammunation. I even enjoyed piloting the buzzard into the parking lot beneath the freeway overpass.
During the arcade sale I opted to move to the Insert Coin arcade because the rear space is huge and I like the multiple alley entrances, the parking garage is also pretty neat to lose pursuers and cops. It also made sense to buy a Del Perro apartment close buy to make car shuffling between the arcade and garage easier.
I had Insert Coin since the arcades first came out. I really liked it. After buying them all for this video, I ended up with Eight Bit. I'm going to give it a try for a little while but I can always go back to Insert Coin if Eight Bit doesn't work out.
Wow, I’m so late that I even missed a discount?? How old is the arcade update?!
@@JC-li8kk The arcades came out with the Diamond Casino update about a year ago, I think.
Champlette2 No way! How on earth did I miss this? The only arcades I knew about were the ones inside your penthouse. I played some in May and didn’t see anything about an arcade business. Is it more of a place you just hang out at or do you run supply and sell missions from it too?
@@JC-li8kk It has a fancy computer (called the MCT) in the basement where you can check the supplies and stock of all of your businesses, and you can even buy supplies from there (unlike the TerrorByte where you can only steal supplies). The Arcade has a heist room where you can plan the host the Casino Heist. As for the actual Arcade itself, you just hang out and play the games in there. It's not an actual (substantial) money making business. It makes a little money in a safe, similar to the popularity in the nightclub.
Your videos are VERY useful! I've watched a lot of videos discussing best business locations, but yours are the most detailed so far. Great job!
Thanks so much! I try to make location videos for all of the new businesses when they come out. I'm so glad to hear they're helpful to you.
Great video btw. Not many (if any) others go into such detail.
I own Videogeddon (after owning Pixel Pete's & Insert Coin) and the main upsides for my type of gameplay are:
1) It's immediately next door to one of my large crate warehouses, so I can run in there after delivering crates and use the MCT to monitor/sell stock or buy more crates.
2) My personal aircraft will spawn pretty close-by in the storm drain behind the building. Handy if I want a Cargobob for I/E, or a weaponised vehicle for some PvP.
Really helpful points, thank you!!
Did all my grinding from Videogeddon, now I'm moving to Insert Coin.
I personally hate the trash all over the ground at the entrance of 8-Bit. That and its mega-popularity with other players (Videogeddon has a similar problem) makes me fade it.
Arguably, Insert Coin is the best location to support PvP in freemode (using the garage to repair your vehicle, using the drone station, etc).
I will miss the usage of the storm drain at Videogeddon. But I'm just so bored of that location now.
I had Insert Coin for a while, and I like where it is on the map, but the distance between the garage door and the on-foot door was too much of a hassle for me. If I left on foot through the garage door, my vehicle would often be spawned on the street so I'd have to run there on foot, and that spawn just wasn't convenient enough for my tastes. I have 8 Bit, and I also have the Downtown Vinewood nightclub too, so I've learned to avoid the trash by the doors by mostly entering through the garage doors.
So glad you're back! I love listening to your voice. It's like ASMR to me lol.
LOL!!! I've heard worse, so I'll take this compliment and be very happy with it. :) Thanks!!
Yes! Especially this video for some reason lol. I have it saved on an ASMR playlist =)
@@Omni0404 LOL! It's probably because I'm reading from a script. When I have a lot of information to cover, I tend to write out the script and practice it with the video so the timing works out, and then I just read from the script when I record it. I guess I sound relaxing when I do that, ha ha!
Another great and informative video :)
Hope it's ok if I share a couple personal tips for anybody deciding which to buy. Imo the 2 best ones for the heist and in general are 8-bit in Vinewood and Videogeddon in La Mesa. My friends own Videogeddon, I went with 8-bit and after doing preps from both and seeing how each arcade helps with running your businesses, I believe 8-bit wins in the end simply thanks to the last point bellow. But you can't go wrong with either of those 2.
Videogeddon:
- You can spawn attack helicopters and jets in the canal within running distance. Imo better spawn than for even Wonderama at the airfield.
- The canal and rail tracks leading to/from nearby tunnels can be used to easily lose cops in land vehicles, especially if coming from the eastern highway.
- One of the best large warehouses (Darnell bros) is basically next door, alowing you to use Master Control Terminal in the arcade to source crates without returning to the office or without having a Terrorbyte parked there (it can instead be parked at a 2nd warehouse and you can source crates continuously without any cooldown since you'd be alternating between 2 warehouses).
8-bit:
- Jets spawn on the beach to the west, not terrible, but not great, however all the preps can easily be done with Mk2 anyway.
- Way less variable spawns / locations of targets for the prep missions, but most of them are great and closer than for Videogeddon.
- Another best large warehouse nearby (West Winewood backlot) easily managable from MCT in the arcade.
- Generally good central location for starting source missions.
- Amazing garage door placement. Which was nicely seen in the video. Delivering heist prep vehicles is super easy.
- But the best thing about 8-bit and imo better than all the other advantages combined has to be the Eclipse Towers nearby while owning an apartment there. Just by having a heist running (for example by doing the 1st setup for Fleeca heist) you can teleport back there anytime from anywhere on the map thanks to Lester's SMS. Which means you will be teleported almost next to your arcade, from where you can either start another prep super fast or run your whole business empire thanks to the MCT.
Very useful info, thanks for sharing!
You’re voice i so relaxing! Keep up the good work with the videos. Thanks for the video
Nice RUclips handle! Thanks for watching!
Another high quality top notch video from our favorite GTA RUclipsr! 👌
Awww... thank you so much!
The front of the WOnderama in Grapeseed looks great! Really attractive in opposite to the location near the Lombank.
Wonderama does look great, but I don't mind the Insert Coin one either. It looks better than Eight Bit.
I'm going Eight-Bit since it's a straight shot to the casino and so close to the majority of my other properties. I almost went with Videogeddon but I don't like the garage situation.
That's a lot of detail in this video. I can choose my arcade location just from watch this video. I love it!
Thank you very much! I make videos like this for businesses and I also have a video about managing the gaming consoles inside your arcade, if you're interested. Thanks for visiting my channel!
@@Champlette2 which one would you say is the best one? I'm torn between 8bit, videogeddon and insert coin
@@huesos_azules I think it depends on how you prefer to play. If you plan to do the Diamond Casino heist frequently, 8 Bit and Videogeddon would be better choices because they're closer to the heist missions. If you have more businesses near the west coast, you might like Insert Coin better. Speaking from my personal preferences, I love the entrances at 8 Bit. It's got great parking and the foot entry door is close to the garage door and both are so easy to access from the street. Insert Coin has great parking and access, but the doors are far apart from each other so if you leave through the door but your vehicle is parked by the garage door, it's a pretty long run. Videogeddon has lousy helicopter access and no good parking for vehicles, but it's a good location on the map for a business, so you need to decide how important the parking is to you.
I hope that helps!
@@Champlette2 finally decided on insert coin. in my head canon the wine shop formerly at that location had an underground wine cellar that has been refurbished as the ultimate crime lair
@@huesos_azules Brilliant back story! I love it! Congrats on your new arcade!
Good video. After doing heaps of casino preps and heists from my friends arcades, I got my requirements. 1. garage access off the road for prep fetch missions. 2. landing space and aircraft spawn points. 3. looks of the building for arcade immersion. Distance to casino dont matter to me. Others will care about this. Now waiting for arcade discount week to come. Got my bunker， hangar and nightclub already.
So with the requirements you described, which arcade will you choose?
@@Champlette2 I am looking at Grapeseed (for the immersion mostly, not practicality of running missions). Love the looks of it! Good garage access by the road, nice big parking lot for air vehicles.
Davis arcade - if I had my CEO vehicle warehouse next door, would love my properties side by side! Sadly, my warehouse is at La Mesa. Good garage access by the road, nice big parking lot for air vehicles. I might consider this if there is a vehicle warehouse sale then I can move it here. The arcade master console will come in handy here!
Rockford - my CEO office & garage showroom is at Maze Bank, NC is at Vespucci. Still checking out the place at the moment. Would like to cluster my properties together.
@@seb2750 Yeah, if you don't mind how far away Grapeseed is, that is definitely the best looking arcade in the game.
Interesting video. The arcades I got on my main character is near the beach in the city. My second character near the casino
Thanks!
Oh wow, it's really good to see you back. Love your videos!
Thank you so very much!!
For videogeddon location (which I have because my friends do too for casino and such), you can spawn helicoptors (akula etc) and jets in the canals nearby, plus theres sneaky tunnels leading to the canals you can hide in and evade the cops.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
Honestly you should have way more subs and views. I don't see really any other youtuber going into this much detail as you do, You sound very genuine and caring and always take the time to reply to messages. I just wanna say we appreciate your time and effort to do these videos. As far as arcades go, I went with eight bit, Great little spot right next to eclipse tower and downtown vinewood nc close by and casino/penthouse less than 1m away.
I'm truly honored! Thank you so much!
Eight bit arcade is a very good place where you can complete your preps quicker since most of the preps are under 2km away. And it's at Central position so it's closer to businesses as well. Downside is the cost but you could shift to that when it goes on sale. And you won't lose the master control terminal when you switch the arcade. Best one for a beginner will be videogeddan. And once you make enough money and arcade goes on sale get the 8 bit.
Good advice, thank you! It's cool that you mentioned not losing the MCT when you move to a new arcade. I'm planning to create a video to document what you lose and what you don't when you trade different properties for a new one. That's always an important question I am asked frequently about the various properties.
Yes I was ready to spend 1.7m on MCT but it was there so I was so happy. So it's worth the switch if you are doing it on sale.
Seconded, 8-bit is the best Arcade location.
Champlette2 I own the eight bit arcade and is the best arcade location.
Note: Do not bye the arcade in paleto bay. Is too too far from the casino.Also if everyone buys this arcade so this area is populated. Last when you do setups the most frequent locations are in the middle of the map and in the city!
So satisfying watching a video without the yelling and annoying music, just good info. Subscribed 👍
That's exactly what I was going for. Thanks!!
Another perk for the Videogeddon location, besides that the casino is very near, is that the Darnell Bros. large warehouse is literally right next door. Makes it pretty convenient to start CEO Crate sourcing missions from Videogeddon and not have to call in the Terrorbyte.
Great point! I don't have many cargo warehouses, so I totally forgot there was a large one that's close. I have a small one right next to that Ammunation, so there's another one nearby too!
Very well presented, some good options that I had not thought of. Great presentation. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Great video as usual! I really lile the looks of the Wonderama and the David ones, but I'm extremely happy with the Videogeddon one, since I have almost all of my buisnesses in La Mesa and it's the best one for Elite Challenge on the Casino Heist. The thing I dislike the most about my Arcade is that highway and all of the obstacles, they're not only for ground vehicles but there's plenty of polls, towers and bridges to avoid with the Mk II, but it's made so much money thay I don't bother.
That's a good point. I probably should have flown in above the building to show what that was like too. You're right though, the La Mesa arcade has a lot going for it, but that garage entrance and crowded street are a lot to overlook.
Start to play gta v again, watching ur guide. Suddenly release I missed u. I always watched ur video before buying property
Welcome back! I'll keep posting videos of new properties if you'll keep coming back to watch them. :)
thank you for taking your time to make these videos
That was very kind of you to say and I greatly appreciate it. I know there are many GTA videos on RUclips to choose from, so thank you for taking the time to watch mine!
solid vid, exactly what i was looking for with all the nuances. best of luck
Thanks so much! I hope you'll come back for more.
Clear consistent views of each one, nice touch with the MK2 and vehicle spawns too. Great video as usual. I already had 8 Bit, so I am keeping it. I must say I really love the outside of Wonderama, but it's a bit too far north for me. You are my goto when buying properties. Loving La Puerta since I switched vehicles warehouses. I see your still at Lombank, but I am enjoying Maze Tower too much. :) A choice also based on your videos.
Thanks so much! Yes, I'm still at Lombank. It just feels like home now. I've moved to Arcadius a few times because I absolutely love that building, but the roof access and helipad at Lombank are so perfect that I keep moving back there.
Are you a School Teacher? If not, ill continue joining your classes here, taking notes, do my homework, and get great results from what I've learned from you. Love your accent, listening to you is relaxing, I guess that's one of the reasons your Hubby Married you 😆 Imjust recently subbed and glad I did. Thanks again Ma'am, for this great less today.
HA HA! Nope, not a teacher, just a data geek. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky that my Hubby married me, but I'm sure glad he did! Thanks a bunch for subscribing!! I'll see you here again, I hope.
Ill be here. The videos are great. I'll continue watch3, and back tracking on the good stuff I've missed 😊
Your videos are great. Helped me pick a couple of businesses better! thanks Champ
Guess I'm just gonna keep my Warehouse Arcade in Davis. Too convenient seeing as how I do have the vehicle warehouse nextdoor. Just wanted to at least see my options since I don't believe I did when the arcades first came out. Was just thinking maybe I wanted one of the arcades with a more finished exterior.(Videogeddon, Pixel Pete's, etc.) The Warehouse is fine though.
Thanks for the research. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your kind comments! Location and design reviews are my specialty, so I hope you'll come back for more. All the best to you in 2023!
@@Champlette2 this is the only place I go to for location reviews for sure. As long as you're here & have a video on it then I will be too. LOL
Wishing the best for you & yours in 2023 as well. Thank you.
I wanted Wonderama aesthetic-wise but I got Insert Coin bc Rockford Hills is a good location and it fits the scenery it's in, and Eight Bit has annoying billboards while La Mesa is used by too many. I really wanted a Grapeseed property but since this is based on heists, it's very unconventional to have one up north rather than the city.
Yes, if you intend to do the casino heist regularly, it doesn't make sense to have an arcade that far away from the casino. However, if you're someone like me who still hasn't even completed the casino heist for the first time, I use the arcade more for managing my businesses. If you like to sell from MC businesses located in Blaine County, having an arcade up north might be very handy.
@@Champlette2 I have 18 million at most times so I don't *really* need to do the heists themselves but I try to do them sometimes to help friends gain their money because my usual grind on VIP Work takes too much time for them to be invested. I've actually loved the arcade side of the arcade, and bought about half of all the cabinets by now.
@@Chillwave6 I enjoy it too, at least a few of the games. I hope they add a really good pinball machine someday!
@@Champlette2 Oh pinball is something that is missing from the arcades to get the full feeling. My favorite is the QUB3D machine from the recent update. Also when I've been thrown to public sessions, even as a 498 rank I've visited random people's arcades and played on the machines. About every 6th of them are just filled with Monkey's Paradise to get the obvious cash, while every 3rd I've seen they actually have almost all of the cabinets set up and it's always a nice inspiration.
@@Chillwave6 I like QUB3D too! I had one of every machine in my arcade, then I decided to thin it down to just the games I might want to play. I really like it that way. I only make about $3500 per GTA, but I'm not going to miss that tiny amount of money.
Very good buyers guide
Thank you very much! I try to make location videos like this when each new business comes out. I hope you'll come back for more!
I got Pixel Pete's simply because I like how calm Paletto Bay feels.
Sounds like a great idea but unfortunately I want to use the Arcade as a central for my businesses and that´s why it should be nearby my office :/
Actually, I found that I wish my Arcade was a little further away from my office. It's nice having the computer in the Arcade where I can source a car or crates, but my office is so close by that it's not a huge time savings for me. I almost wish I had the arcade in Davis so I'd be closer to my vehicle warehouse, but I really like the location of Eight Bit so I'm not moving.
Really felt like using Wonderama because the aesthetic is good and Grapeseed is lowkey fun. But since nobody really would appreciate if I place my property 4 miles away from the heist, I had to choose the boring Insert Coin.
@@Chillwave6 I think the Davis arcade is really underrated. It's not too far from the arcade, but it is in an interesting area, especially with Arena Wars so close and a vehicle warehouse in the same building as the arcade. It's just hard to overlook all of the gang activity around that building.
@@Champlette2 true, I did consider it since I do like the style of the neighborhood and my special cargo warehouse is nearby. But again, not really optimal in case of heists. I do have money to spend so I could of course switch the arcade.
I didn't knew your channel (also, I'm kinda new into GTAO) but wow, it was incredibly well explained!
Anytime I'll need any info from businesses I'll definetely come to this channel, thanks for your work!
Thank you for visiting my channel, and for the very kind comment. See you again soon!!
Great video! I got Pixel Pete's/Paleto Arcade for free by linking my twitch prime account! I haven't done the Casino Heist, but I found the MCT VERY useful and frequently set my Arcade as a spawn point. Starting from Paleto was not ideal.
I regrettably experimented with "The Warehouse" Arcade at Davis, even moving my vehicle warehouse next door. Although having the warehouse and the arcade next to each other was pretty novel and convenient (and also being able to buy snacks nearby), The NPC traffic was VERY annoying, especially out of the Arcade garage.
My OpMk2 frequently got bumped by traffic as I boarded and tried to ride it out, frequently and no matter what time of day despite it having a very small footprint The Vehicle Warehouse was not bad, I like that it was the same location as Franklin's garage in story mode and it's easy enough to cargobob I/E vehicles in and out, but occasionally I do like to drive the nicer faster cars and the local gang activity is not very friendly if I have chasers also shooting at me.
I moved my Arcade to Rockford Hills and my Vehicle Warehouse back to La Puerta where it's ideally placed IMHO. I think you commented it as one of the best locations in one of your other vids. If I need to begin vehicle sourcing nearby the Warehouse, the I just spawn in a Terrorbyte. I have to say, the exterior to the Insert Coin Arcade is the best looking one in the game! It has a clean exterior A huge old school sign and looks like an actual functional business and not something pasted onto a derelict building. If my requested vehicles spawned in front of the garage door instead of all the way onto the busy street, I would have kept that location!
Ultimately I have settled for the 8-bit at vinewood. It's an Ideal location from a pure solo grinder perspective, with close proximity to Eclipse and Tinsel Towers and a straight shot to the Nightclub and a bit of flying to some of my MC businesses. My favorite part is that the arcade garage entrance and the main entrance are next to each other, and the vehicles spawned from the garage door rarely gets in the way of NPC traffic. The only annoying part is looking at the dumpster and all the scattered trash every time I have the 8-bit as my spawn point and that's very frequently!
Wow, we must think a lot alike because except for the part about the Davis arcade, I could have written what you just wrote! I loved the look of the Insert Coin arcade too, but I grew to be very unhappy with the garage door being on the back. I'm happier at Eight Bit now. And yes, I have said I wouldn't trade La Puerta for any other vehicle warehouse in the game. It's most definitely my favorite. Good luck with your new configuration!
@@Champlette2 Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment! I found your videos very helpful in optimizing my setup, though I should stop making arbitrary changes that cost too much in game money because it looks like a new DLC is just around the corner and of course the announcement of GTAO continuing onto the next console platform generation should keep one of my all time fave games fun and interesting. Please keep up the great content!
Ok that was helpful. As usual, I’m very torn about which location to pick. Sometimes I try to spread out my properties just to experience the variety of different atmospheres and not get stuck looking at the same old stuff all the time. That is why I am leaning towards Wonderama in Grapeseed. I love the look of that building the most, especially at night. Definitely has a retro, life before the big city feel to it.It also solves all the traffic issues and the typical hustle and bustle of the city that I experience with 70% of my properties. My only disadvantage is I have no clue how the business or heists work so I’m not sure if that will be a negative consequence. Is this a business at all or strictly used for heists?
J C It’s basically a business front for the Casino Heist operation. Once you setup your arcade it will generate passive income similar to the nightclub and you grab the earnings from the safe. I have not started any of the heist prep, since I mostly grind solo, but supposedly players can do all of the heist preparation solo and you can hire NPCs to fill part of the heist work similar to single player, but you will need one or more players to complete the actual heist. Aside from the passive income, you can setup a “Master Control Terminal” which gives you a Central place to help run the Nightclub Warehouse, MC Businesses, Vehicle Import/Export Warehouse, CEO Warehouses, and Hangar Warehouse operations. If you take advantage of it, the Arcade becomes a frequent spawn point to help manage most of your business operations.
liquidmojo ok thanks. Sounds like I’ll be spending a lot of time there if you can control all businesses through it. Maybe not the best property to put out in the middle of nowhere lol. I really wish they put it in Sandy Shores instead.
M'really loving ur location videos!
I've done some scounting meself but there where many things that I missed or couldn't see for not owning those places so these series come really in handy. Thank you a ton!
You're very welcome!! It's hard to think of all the details when you're checking out the property locations. I have been burned more than once by choosing a location and immediately regretting it, so that's why I started making these videos.
I have eight bit best overall IMO -Thanks Champ (Y) Great to see you back xxx
Thank you! It's really great to be back. I just kept Eight Bit after I bought each of the arcades for my video. I am interested to see if I end up liking that one.
Holy you know your videos are good when you have 0 dislikes! 😄
Thanks so much! I try to make them useful. ;)
Eight bit arcade is good if you want to buy master control terminal.
It really is a great location on the map to make excellent use of the master control terminal.
@SOTORIOUS I'm happy to hear you like Chumash! The Insert Coin arcade is great except for one thing that really bugged me. The garage door and the main entrance are really far apart at Insert Coin. If you park near the street and walk in the main door and later leave out the garage door, you have to run all the way down the length of the building to get back to your vehicle. Also, sometimes I would park my vehicle right by the garage door and go in, but when I'd leave on foot through the garage door, my vehicle had be relocated out to the street in front of the arcade instead of staying where I left it. I know this is a minor issue, but I found it irritating. I like how the door and the garage door are close to each other at 8 Bit. I can park right in front of the arcade and no matter which door I use, I don't have to go far to get back to my vehicle.
@SOTORIOUS Those are all the same reasons I chose 8 Bit too. I like that it's close to the Eclipse Tower too. It gives me a good reason to stop by my penthouse once in a while.
4:06 I went to check out the Grapeseed arcade again, and standing there where you are, I noticed in the blue machine inside is a figurine! Had to shoot the window open to climb in.
Yes!! That's a fun location for that collectible!
Thank you as usual for your informative videos! I found the distance to the Casino and other points of interest for the various arcades, particularly useful! I thought it’s also worth noting, if you are a member of Twitch Prime and have your Rockstar social club linked, you get the Pixel Pete’s in Paleto Bay for free!
Much appreciated, thank you!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for!!! Took me awhile and a few different way of wording the search but your video was exactly what I was hoping to find, Thank you so much for making great content!!! Funny thing is I was already a subscriber, think I need to start on your channel when I have a GTA question!!
I'm truly honored, thank you so much!
HI, iam good to see you back yo make videos,haha, coz i was worry of your channel have not updated for a long time ~~~~ THANKS for your back~~
Thank you! I'm happy to be back. My life just got very busy, but it was all good news. Now I have more time to play again. More videos coming soon!
very usefull even for high levels like me. I would really love to see more videos from you. As i have told u several times your videos are the most educative from all the gta youtubers. Best regards my lady-
I'm working on trying to get more videos out more frequently. Stay tuned!
It seems somewhat weird to me that most of these Arcades don't even look like a real one. The only one that looks like a real arcade and has an arcade-like appealing on my book, is Wonderama (Grapeseed) and perhaps Insert Coin (Rockford Hills). Anyways, it's just about buying the arcade the player likes and feels identified with. My first arcade was Pixel's Pete (Paleto Bay) the farthest one. After a while, I realised that something was wrong with me. I used to have the cheapest properties, all of them at Paleto Bay (Bunker, Facility and obviously Arcade), not the Clubhouse, as I got it nearby Route 68. Unfortunately, I ran out of money for relocating my Arcade, so I decided to wait to get the money. The waiting was worth it, as I played all the Doomsday Heist and I saved up all the money in order to relocating it. Los Santos' Arcades were the hardest ones for me to choose. Personally, I dislike Eight-Bit (Vinewood Hills) because it is rather dirty at the entrance, and I tend to be whimsical about cleaning. Warehouse (Davis) on the other hand, it looks like a warehouse obviously; I know it is close by a garage (Franklin's garage), but the garage's entrance is badly placed. Moreover, it's nearby Grove Street, and Ballas may bust a cap on you. Therefore, the last ones are Insert Coin and Videogeddon. Currently, I got Videogeddon because it comes in handy for the Elite Challenge, which is something that certain players are looking for. I really enjoy your analysis. Best regards.
Thank you for sharing your insights. Hopefully viewers can learn from your experiences. I'm happy to hear you found some properties that work better for you.
Just found your channel today and oh! it was a blessing haha I watched all your videos on the best locations for all businesses. Such great detailed guides! I already decided on Bunker, Facility, Clubhouse , Nightclub and Arcade. Im still confused about the MC businesses ... all my friends have them in the city but I read something about that if u have them in Blaine county around Route 68 area u can sell the stock for more money to LS(same money from paleto bay)?
But I don't know if it would be as efficient and less time-consuming as if u were selling from LS to Blaine county instead...
I'm so happy you found my channel and that these videos helped you! As for the MC businesses, you can sell from LS to Blaine County for a bonus and you can also sell from Blaine County to Los Santos for a bonus. So, you have to think about how you prefer to play. For example, say you like to sell your bunker before you sell from your MC businesses. When you sell from your bunker in LS, you'll finish in Blaine County so it would be handy if your MC businesses were close by in Blaine County. This also works if you sell from your MC business first which would end up in LS and then you'd be closer to your bunker or nightclub. On the other hand, you might want to split your MC businesses and have some in the city and some in the county so you can go back and forth between them.
In my opinion, I'd recommend just buying the most affordable locations in Blaine County. The profits aren't super high from the MC businesses, so you'll save some money by not spending a lot more on the LS locations. I made a Business Buyer's Guide for new players video, but it's got some good info for existing players too. Looking at the profits from each business may also help you decide how much you want to spend on the properties. Best of luck!
Now teach us how to win in all 12 arcade games! Also love the shirt =)
Thanks! I haven't even tried most of the arcade games yet. I've only bought one of them with the little grabber that picks up stuffed animals. That one is really difficult!
i can tell by your voice that you are a nice person
What a sweet thing to say! Thank you so much!
Champlete do you know how to get the vault door in your arcade to practice drilling and other features such as the finger scanner
Sorry I don't know. I haven't completed the heist yet, so I'm still learning.
@@Champlette2 oh ok
U have to take a picture of the vault door blueprint in miss Baker's office during the casino scope out. Then you can buy the vault door for your arcade from the prep board in your arcade. You can also buy the hacking device and casino model for your arcade, from the heist prep board
@@oshiz82 ok thanks that helps a lot
Great tips, thank you!
Question: I was dumb by buying the Paleto Bay arcade a while back, moved a bunch of vehicles and arcade machines into the place but now I want to buy the Rockford Hills location after getting sick of preps taking awhile. Would changing arcades transfer my garaged vehicles and arcade machines after getting the new location? I rarely buy new properties, hell I even have my first high end apartment from starting the game so this would be good to know.
I made a whole video about relocating each property. This will tell you exactly what will happen when you move to a new arcade. I started the video in this shortcut right at the point where it covers arcades. ruclips.net/video/Jrz-PTSvAfk/видео.html
One thing I miss here is the different logos playing on the screens in the arcades. Every arcade has its own logo.
Ah, fair enough. I should have highlighted that. Sorry I missed it.
Love these videos 😁
Thank you very much!
Not sure if you mentioned or not, my mistake if you did but which arcade did you choose for your main account?
I'm still on the fence. I bought Insert Coin when the Arcades first came out and I've had that one until I made this video. I bought them from cheapest to most expensive so I ended up with Eight Bit. I like how the garage door is right on the main street and closer to the front door. I'm going to stick with this one for a while and see how i like it.
Which arcade do you own? I'm torn between 8 bit and insert coin. Both are convenient to all of my businesses. 8 bit has the ugly dumpster by the door with trash around it. That kinda hurts the curb appeal to me
I started at Insert Coin, but I moved to Eight Bit and I still have that one. I found the parking at Insert Coin to be disappointing. One think I love about Eight Bit is that whether I part at the garage door or near the front door, I can leave through either one and still be close to my vehicle. When I was at Insert Coin, sometimes I'd park near the garage door and I'd forget where I parked. When I walked out the front door, I had to run down the alley to get to my vehicle. I love how close the garage door and arcade door are to each other at Eight Bit. I also like all of that parking room in front of the Beta Pharmaceuticals building next door. I can even land a Cargobob or a Hydra there or park my TerrorByte or Acid Lab there very easily.
@@Champlette2 thank you for your reply. I'll be going with 8 bit. I've only been playing GTA for about a year. It seems like every time I look up any property, your RUclips channel pops up first lol I love the details of your videos and they have helped me a lot. I also follow your discord which has also been very helpful. Thank you again. I'll be watching your other video on all the arcade details and games next.
@@thecarguy2470 I greatly appreciate both follows! Thank you so much! The property stuff is kinda' my niche. I haven't seen that many other RUclipsrs who focus on that, which is exactly why I started making them in the first place. I bought an apartment at Integrity Way a loooooooong time ago (back before CEO/MC President and such) and I hated it. There was no video to tell me what to expect from it, so I didn't know I wasn't going to like it. Back then, the cost of that apartment left a huge dent in my small bank account, so that's when I decided to start making property videos.
Hello, thanks a lot for your video. Which arcade do you currently own and which one is your favorite please?
Ans which one has the closest prep missions ? I think its eight bit but i'm not sure... Thanks
I have the Eight Bit arcade. I owned the one in Del Perro for a while, but I like Eight Bit much better. The parking is a lot better and the location is pretty good for the preps. The preps tend to be all over the city and the locations of the preps can change (such as the police station with the Longfin boat might be in Vespucci, or Vinewood, or La Mesa) but I haven't found any preps to be inconvenient from the Eight Bit location.
Aircraft spawn in gully behind arcade and near railroad tracks in mesa you got your own private runway
Yes, I've been hearing that's the preferred option for owners of that arcade. That's cool!
Again a super usefull video my lady very good job. Best regards
Very kind, thank you!
Ended up focused on the shirt, where that come from? and bit offtopic, are you much of a crate runner? its 2x crate week but of what i read, doing crates is responsible for your office becoming a complete mess with money all over the floors and furniture. Your lombank review for example, showed a pretty sweet, clean office, wondered if it became cluttered since.
That shirt is from the Gunrunning collection, I believe. I think there are maybe 4 shirts like that one.
Nope, I quit doing the special cargo crates years ago, except for when I need to have footage for a video. My Lombank office does have a lot more clutter than I'd like, but I've never sold a single crate on my secondary character and her office is spotless!!
@@Champlette2 Looks very cool, i'll have to try and find it, it even looks like its lighting up at points. So you'd recommend, for someone that wants to keep a CEO office as spotless (!!!) as champs (i just had to buy lombanks because of your video, champlette getting everyone in debt), to not do crates at all, is that right? because of the research i did on it, its my understanding that once theres stuff on the floor (because i did crates) it never goes away unless your bank account drops to zero. I don't mind money in the safe, but all over the floor and in the hallways, big nono. And thanks for taking the time to reply to people like this.
@@SoftExo It's true that it never goes away. In fact, even if you go totally broke, the money and merchandise will come back after you start earning money again (I know, because I tested it). If you REALLY want a clean office, create a secondary character and never, never, never sell crates. You can own a warehouse for the nightclub, just don't sell crates. Yes, you'll have to buy properties, businesses, and vehicles again, but you'll keep all of the money you had with your primary character. Sometimes I'll even trade my expensive properties for the cheapest ones on my primary character to make some money back, then I have more money to buy properties again on my secondary character. If you start your secondary character with rank 120, it's not that big of a deal.
As for responding to comments, I figure if people go to the trouble to write to me, the decent thing to do is to write back! :)
@@SoftExo And yes, that shirt does light up. You can make it stay on, or pulse, or stay off.
@@Champlette2 "never, never, never sell crates. You can own a warehouse for the nightclub, just don't sell crates" so i might be safe even in main character. When i bought the special cargo, it was that small 250k one, and with the sole purpose of linking it to nightclub (i didn't have an hangar at that point, and being relatively new, 250k was a lot easier than 1.2M). I've never done a single crate, am more of an I/E kind of guy instead. Crates begone then, im off to relax at my spotless lombank with a glass of both virtual and real scotch lol. Thanks again.
Oh i remember watching you for moc review and it was so good
Thanks for coming back!!
very informative video but however i feel since most would have CEO office and should own a buzzard pending how each person spends there money you could spawn the buzzard right next to you also but it is handy to know spawn locations for those who down own it ...however i fully recommend anyone who is new to the game to buy the buzzard as soon as you can afford it not straight away but it will repay you back
I totally agree. The buzzard is an outstanding early purchase for new players. You're right, I probably should have shown where the CEO buzzard spawns, but this video was already pretty long. Also, I try not to stay registered as a CEO unless I'm actually importing or exporting something, so I can cut down on the admin costs. Although, you are right, having access to a CEO buzzard whenever you want it is quite handy.
@@Champlette2 yeah i can understand that trying to keep your vids at a length you are happy with and i generally stay as a ceo particulary if im running solo publics and just churning out work after work examples constantly importing/ exporting and doing ceo vip work / terrobyte work in between its a handy method for me
I already bought my arcade but I’ll give you a view and a like
Much appreciated! Thanks!
I used to Own Davis, almost every time I was attacked because I ran a member over 😂
I thought that might be the case. You may have noticed i was really careful in the video not to bump into anyone at the driveway to the Davis vehicle warehouse because i thought it might start trouble with the Ballas.
@@Champlette2 lol my friend have the Davis vehicle warehouse. It is hilarious when the cops and the Ballas start shooting it out in a 3 way with you if you got heat from vehicle stealing missions.
@@seb2750 Oh yeah, it's so tempting to have the Davis vehicle warehouse with the Arcade in the same building, but I'm sure those gang guys would make that a righteous pain.
i’m so tempted to move arcades! And I’ll tell you why because of your video. But you see, I have a beautiful thing going on in La Mesa. I’ve got my nightclub my arcade in my auto shop all on the street with a large warehouse in two garages 10 car, all in a row. It’s beautiful. I just can’t make myself break from my arcade in La Mesa. Did you know that most of the properties in La Mesa have Secret helicopter top access? I’m saying this to you before the video I might be looking silly because you probably covered it but you’re arcade in gorgeous senic (lol) La Mesa you can land on the building or the building next to it and there are ladders everywhere to get you on the ground. Also the night club in La Mesa it looks awful yes but it’s got a very fun area in the back with access to the train tracks plus you can land a helicopter in the back area where the rear garage is. La Mesa is amazing!
hey! ☺️ may i ask what shirt did you wear in this video, its so cool it glows
by the way, you’ve totally earned my sub. cause like WOW i’ve never seen such a good video with proper & detailed explanation. personally, i hate lengthy videos if they too naggy lmao but you really impressed me! keep it up ❤️✨
It's one of the 3 Future Shock shirts. I think they're in the Arena Wars group in Tops, but I'm sure they're called Future Shock.
@@emptymilkbottles Thank you very much! I really appreciate the sub!
Hi, Which one you will pick 8 bit or insert coin ?
I bought Insert Coin first, but I moved to 8 Bit very soon after that. I like having the garage door and the front door close enough to each other that you can easily access your vehicle from either door. At Insert Coin, if you park your vehicle close to the garage door and then exit from your front door, you have to run the full length of the building to get to your vehicle. At 8 Bit, it's just a few steps either way. I also like that 8 Bit is closer to the casino, and to some of my other properties, and the garage door is so easily accessible from the street.
Amazing thank you
Much appreciated, thank you!!!
Thank you very much for informative video :) May I ask you where I can get that glowing t-shirt? It looks awesome :)
Sure! It's in the Arena Wars clothing (under tops) and there's a Future Shock group under that. They are called Two Moon shirts, I think. There's a blue one, a purple one, and a pink one. You can make them glow, not glow, or pulse. Those options are under Style in the Interaction Menu.
@@Champlette2 Thanks! This outfit is so cool :))
@@LandsOfDespair You're welcome! I love those shirts too.
8 bit > videogeddon ANY DAY, it's not even close imo.
stores don't really matter at all.
PROS:
you have that space by the garage and theres a parking lot behind it if you need even more space.
really central for heist setups/MCT.
garage door is in a very good location.
close to the casino AND it's a straight drive there, I THINK it's faster since you don't have to turn with the gruppe6 van or the car you get and therefore slow down.
eclipse apartment is very close as shown in the video, can be used as teleport/spawn point to the MCT aka all of your businesses.
CONS:
no close personal/pegasus aircraft spawns, I don't remember the last time I wanted one since the mk2 is just better.
you'll need to drive a bit uphill if you're coming from basically anything south to it on the map, hasn't really bothered me at all tho(at least not as much as videogeddon's garage).
sometimes when doing heist setups it'll spawn your mk2 a bit far(you get that with videogeddon everytime though).
when doing the firefighter exit disguise setup, you can't use the garage door, instead you'll have to take the firetruck to the parking lot which has a bit of a tight enterance(again, this is videogeddon's garage at all times).
I went pixel pete's > 8 bit > videogeddon > 8 bit
Very helpful info, thanks!
Your video is very helpful because I want to live in the hood but there's no houses to purchase and I also want to own a vehicle warehouse and I was thinking about buying the one on Davis Street now that I know there's a arcade at the other end I may buy arcade to and I like that Franklin's Auntie houses is down the street in the other direction I also like that the gas station is the cross street from the building I like robbing it😂😂😂 and the train tunnel is not too far where I go to hide from the police😂😂😂
I LOVE hiding in that train tunnel from the police!
@@Champlette2 great minds think alike 😂😂😂
Thank you I chose Eight-Bit Also what is your Accent I love it
HA HA! Thank you. It's a touch of Southern, but I've lost most of it so it's nowhere near as Southern-sounding as I was when I was a kid.
If i could marry that voice i would
I'm blushing. My husband might have something to say about that though. ;)
@@Champlette2 i think he would understand the appeal😉
HA HA! He says it's cool. ;)
Paleto Bay is a nice location for relaxing, but for business it’s bad.
Oh yes, I'm sure it would be pretty bad for a business location. Paleto is just such a long trip from just about anywhere else on the map.
May I ask, where did you find that cool t-shirt?
I think it's a Gunrunning shirt. It's one of those glowing ones. If I remember right, I think there are maybe 4 different ones? You can control if it stays lit up, or pulses, or doesn't like up at all.
You got a new sub
Happy to have you! Thanks!!
very nice 👍🏻
Hey, nice to see you! Thanks!!
So where do you park the equipment cause in says in the front but doesn’t work
On the wonder
@@trevynbrewer2086 Are you referring to the equipment you have to go and collect to start the business? As I recall, it needs to be delivered to the garage door.
Since arcades are now on sale I’m gonna buy the insert coin arcade since it’s right next to my cocaine business and my office
Excellent choice!
Ok I am here again! Which will I pick? Choices choices choices ... Im gonna play this video on loop on the phone and go to each location in game on PC lol.
Well now you have to tell me which one you picked!! Who's the winner?
@@Champlette2 9:40 there is plenty of spare roof for parking a heli :) I was scouting the place out w a stolen Bob from the hospital up north on the main road up to the shoe store. Found that I could land easily with a chubby Bob on the roof. There is a ladder down on the carpark side of the vehicle warehouse next door.
I think I may get this arcade. Then later when there is a sale on vehicle warehouse, I will empty out my vehicle warehouse to shift it next door at Davis using the Arcade master terminal to source cars. The carpark is great for the vehicle warehouse next door compared to my La Mesa warehouse, thats a nightmare to Bob stolen vehicles. ( I prefer to fly my stolen vehicles right to the door).
And saves me money from buying a Bob, I can steal one up the main road north at the hospital close to the shoe store. I am quite pleased with the business aspect of this place.
@@seb2750 I love the idea of having the arcade next door to the vehicle warehouse! If it weren't for the Ballas guys hanging around the parking lot, I think I might have made this move too. Great choice!
What’s your personal favourite location?
I haven't decided for sure yet. I was at the Insert Coin location for a long time and I recently moved to Eight Bit. I'm leaning toward saying Eight Bit is my favorite, but there are a few minor aspects of the Insert Coin location that I miss.
Which one you suggest and which do u have
I had the Insert Coin arcade for a little while and I liked it a lot, except I didn't like the garage door being so far from the front door. If I parked on the street by the front door but exited through the garage door, I had to run down the alley to get to my vehicle. Now I'm at Eight Bit and that problem is solved. The garage door and the front door are conveniently close to each other so I can get to my vehicle easily no matter which door I enter and exit. I like that it's located between my Chumash bunker and my Downtown Vinewood nightclub, so it's easy for me to drop by.
@@Champlette2 thx so much:) maybe I will go with insert coin because is near my nightclub in dell perro in my office and I will move my bunker in chumash so everything is going to be nearby
@@antoniskor3123 Sounds like a great plan!
Thanks!
Right back at ya! I hope you'll visit my channel again sometime.
hey i knew i could rely on u 4 a good idea on what arcade 2 move 2 as im bored with my location👍 edit: & we have the same t-shirt on!!!!!!! lol
Very cool! I hope you enjoy your new arcade location!
Have you heard about the new dlc announcement
Yes, but only just what everyone else saw too. I don't know any specifics.
Ok
I got the arcade it’s fun to do casino heist I do it every time.
I got videogeddon and i like it
Happy to hear that! :)
One last thing 295 million! Girl I haven’t seen you so broke! Lol I’m used to you having in the upper 300s LOL your light years away from me I’m only a 20 time millionaire but I’m working on it. I just moved my agency like I said I was going to do and I got HAWIC and I love it thank you
My bank account takes a big hit after making videos about properties, but it always comes back up.
@@Champlette2 Yes I was joking I know a lot goes into making the videos. They are very helpful I’ll tell you that
Can u show on the map where it is cos I can’t find it
Ty I jus found it
You still doing burnout paradise stuff? Just got it for the switch
I still have it on the PS4, but I haven't had much time to play it in a while. Every now and then, I get a craving for a stunt run and I'll break out the Desert Storm buggy and hit the streets of Paradise.
@@Champlette2 ok then. I just decided to ask about that since I have the most trouble with stunt runs.
If you haven't seen this yet, here's a video on my channel about Stunt Run Tips. ruclips.net/video/fdALDlFH9is/видео.html
@@Champlette2 I actually watched that earlier today. What car do you recommend is the best? The one you used in your video?
@@Bloody-cj2qv That's the Dust Storm Superturbo, which is the upgraded version of the regular Dust Storm. It's a fantastic overall stunt car. The Touge is great for really big air, and the Jansen P-12 is just about the best flat spinning car in the game. If you want to practice barrel rolls, I suggest trying the Manhattan. It's really big and slow so it gives you time to learn how to stop the barrel roll in the air so you can land. You'll be surprised how well that thing can barrel roll. It's the perfect car to learn how to barrel roll through the hoop in the airfield. Just line it up with the rear bumper up against the fence where the gap is and point it straight at the hangar ramp, then boost all the way from start to finish.
I have eight bit arcade I got it because it’s next to my eclipse towers apartment so I can buy supplies then go afk
Good choice, I think it's a handy location.
Champlette2 ya same I don’t do casino heist tho I got it for the control master terminal where I can run all businesses
Yes me too. I plan to do the heist, but haven't gotten into it yet. So far, just enjoying the MCT.
You can go AFK inside the Arcade as well. Just watch the Big TV near the main entrance. AFKing in the Arcade is best since you can reach the MCT in the basement in less than 20 seconds from the main floor.
Merci pour la vidéo
Merci d'avoir regardé!
What facility do u have plz answer
I recently moved to the PC and I haven't bought a facility yet, but on the PS4, I had the facility that was at the end of the short runway at the Sandy Shores Airfield. When I eventually buy one for my PC character, that's probably the one I'll buy.
@@Champlette2 are you happy of this one ?I think to buy the zacundo one but idk tell me your opinion
@@antoniskor3123 I had the Zancudo facility for about a year. I liked that location on the map because it was close to my hangar at Fort Zancudo and my bunker at Chumash. However, after hosting a few heists from there, I began to dislike (a lot) how far it was from the road. We had to run up that big hill to get to the vehicle spawns and that got old really quick. The facility by the airfield has a little dirt road next to it, so if you call the mechanic, your vehicle spawns really close to the door. I haven't hosted a heist from there, but I'm guessing the heist vehicles will either spawn on that dirt road, or on Route 68 which is a shorter run than the hill at Zancudo.
@@Champlette2 maybe I'll go with the fort zacundo because of 3 reasons
1: is much cheaper than the grand senora one
2:is closer to the town
3:it has a highway nearby
@@antoniskor3123 I highly recommend waiting for a sale on facilities if you can. They're very expensive for what you get. It's worth waiting for a sale, if you can.
You forgot to cover Pegasus vehicles from Eight-Bit.
Sorry about that. Pegasus aircraft would most likely be delivered to the helicopter rental place down by the canals.
Have you made a best location mc biker businesses
Actually, no I haven't. With 5 different businesses and several locations for each one, I just never figured out a good way to make a video of all of them.
@@Champlette2 last one for the night. PS5 or XBOX or both?
@@cagr38 Neither. I recently switched to gaming on the PC. I got tired of having to buy consoles every few years and paying subscriptions to play a game I already bought.
300th comment!
Great video.
