Has Anyone Purchased the New Apartments Yet?

[Darkaiser]

Are they worth the cash? Nice-looking? In a convenient spot at least?

Both very nice but personally, I like The Glen best. Its loft book reading area with the bean bag is something I would sit in r/t for hours reading if I had such an area. Not to mention all the windows.

It's just fluff. How often do you go to your original apartment and just sit around staring at your screen.

Lol my thoughts exactly. Once I realized I can access the stash out of my trunk I never went back, other than to buy the 4 apartments. Walked into those 4 and then really never went back to any of them

I go into my apartment a lot, but that's me.

Shower - Watch TV - Sleep - Use the computer, and now to Play Guitar - Smoke - Drink alcohol, tea, coffee - Light incense - Play radio, disk player. The apartments are just as much of an important element to my enjoyment as the rest of the game. Once again though, that's me.

waste of money. also story mode too short to even consider buying a apartment just to stash stuff and look in the mirror. lol. they should expand this game.

The Glen certainly looks very good but sadly you cannot smoke or drink whisky in that apartment. I also like the incense burning as well.

The Japan Town one is worth it the others not so much.

Sleeping and showering gives you buffs for an hour. Plus some apartments have extra buffs for drinking coffee and such. The xp buff is super helpful for a new playthrough.
I don't use quick travel ever so they are a nice place to rebuff, put stuff in my stash (I always use a bike), and start/end sessions of play.
Also with a new play through since 1.5 eddies are handed out like candy and most stuff is cheaper, so the cost aren't really an issue.

First, apartments now give three buffs. XP buff for sleeping in a bed, Regen buff for bathing and Stamina buff for drinking coffee.

Northside: Cramped single room in that motel where you rescue "Cheetah". Waste of money, IMO.

Japantown: Run down but full of (oriental) personality, in the same building as the codebreaker gig for Okada. No real advantages over the Megatower apartment but there are some new animations V can do there, like smoking or playing guitar.

Glen: Really nice double height loft. Great corner view with double height windows, includes a working coffee machine. Single apartment per floor. Direct entrance from the elevator without any door, so it seems insecure? My favorite of the bunch.

City Center. Fancier but with a worse view compared to the Glen apartment, and unlike that one it has a proper door. Also has a coffee machine and adds some stuff like tea drinking (does nothing).

None of the apartments have dedicated parking spots.

[Roderick]

I bought all since you get buffs for showering, sleeping and coffee. So going there is a bit more worthwhile than before. Northside appartment is kinda useless though, at least when you clear watson before the heist.... since you won't be around this area anymore.

On the other side, each appartment has texts on their terminals which sounds like some hidden quests, didn't find anything until now, though. ^^'

The tragedy is that a small team of devs probably spent months making and testing them.

This game needs an online version so bad.

I disagree with the online version idea. They need to add more content to the base game itself before anythingelse.

I wasn't aware of the buffs. Now I need to do more research.

The original apartment has the advantage of a Fast Travel point right outside the door while the others all have elevators, stairs or something between.

They are nice and work clearly was put into them with the different styles and location they choose. If you already have the cars and equipment you like getting at least one of the apartment is nice.

[Soulkey]

I only bought them to remove them from the journal/objective list.
Are they worth the money? No.
You spend most of your time on the streets doing missions anyway.
