don't see the issue. you can buy or make money, so what? unless they make the guns purchaseable with cash pay2win strong there isn't an issue.
We are heated because this demonstrates the shit direction that AAA gaming is taking when even a super profitable game degrades itself with cash transactions. Cash transactions outside of expansion content should not exist in games you bought. Ever. F2p in general is a scourge to gaming as its practices are infecting every fucking game now.
Spend cash to get in-game items to decimate your competition? How can anyone think that's a good thing no matter how it is implemented? Real life currency infecting grand theft auto, a game that specifically poked fun at this practice within its game satire. Just incredible.
What about all those fun cheat codes from previous GTA's that will probably never exist again?

What positive aspect comes from cash for in-game items? Especially in a competitive multiplayer game. What positive aspect? It's tough to open one's mind when this is straight up external cash for in-game money which in-game money is how you buy armor, weapons, helicopters, properties, cars, etc.
Real currency for in-game currency when we already know what in-game currency in GTA can purchase. Nothing positive here.
That'd be a little extreme admittedly since that's in a sense giving the SP game for free or screwing over those who just want to play GTA:O. $10 would be more reasonable really.They should just make GTA:O free and the people who bought the game get $60 worth ingame cash.
Let's be honest with ourselves, this is a game where it's fun as hell for many of us to just drive on sidewalks and mow down everyone in our way. This IS the kind of game that'll encourage picking fights with other people or just being a dick, even if people may not act this way in other games.It's a free roaming game, there is nothing competitive about it.
Nothing to do with opinions here. No one was disguising GTA as multiplayer game of the century. We all know what the optimal part of the package is.
Where does it say anything about decimating competition?

I remember a online multiplayer trailer that was hyping it to be amazing. Lots of interviews with houser with him saying its a massive part of the game...
Here's a pic of the ingame website I was talking about
Seems funny that they would do the same exact thing they are parodying.
I agree with ur stance on microtransactions in online games but getting mad at rockstar over somthing they haven't even confirmed to be happening is a stretch
Cash is king in this town. Solve your money problems and help get what you want across Los Santos and Blaine County with the purchase of cash packs for Grand Theft Auto Online. All purchased cash is automatically deposited into your characters bank account. Spend wisely, cash therapy is fleeting.
I like most people with a full time job have no problem with this.
Every trailer has hype. That isn't anything new, my question to you looking back at the media for the game. What had more focus by a landslide? The multiplayer will probably be great but my point stands, you shouldn't be buying a GTA game for the online just like you shouldn't be buying a CoD or Halo for the singleplayer.
Yeah I'm not playing online if there's monetization schemes
Just no

Modern gaming.Spending real money for virtual money so i can buy virtual clothes and virtual stocks?
lol this stance is ridiculous. Just play it as you normally would.
Probably because GTA is written by a bunch of cocks that aren't actually funny when it comes to satire or parody. They just go for lame cliches and jokes other people have been making for years.
Some people are only willing to grind out in a game if the grind is the identifier of time investment. In other words, lots of people don't want to sink 100 hours into an online grind to earn money that someone can just spend the real cash to equally achieve. It cheapens the effort for those gamers, and I can understand it.
I worked forever on my Everquest Bard, attending raids, earning levels, gear, etc. If someone else can just pay money to get an equal character, it cheapens my effort. It's why eBay characters are looked down on. You didn't earn the character you're playing.
Not saying that mentality is right, or healthy, but it exists.
This sounds like someone trying to ape Rockstar and how they handle descriptions.
If this is true it isn't a gigantic biggie, but this seems incredibly fake and fishy.
Diablo 3 Auction House part deux.
Except you're only buying money. You have to rank up to purchase equipment(From what I've read), please continue to jump to conclusions though.

Rockstar said that "refining open-world multiplayer into something really special" had been a huge focus in the development of GTA 5.
Ranking up gives you the access to buy the equipment. The in-game money is what you will use to actually buy it once you've unlocked the tier.
So with real cash, you can still roll into every match arriving in a nice armored vehicle or aircraft of some kind, fully decked out in armor and guns with all attachments that you can get at your tier, and have a large garage of armored cars at the ready.
It still cheapens the experience for the people attempting to earn that stuff.
It's not fake, it's on Rockstar's server.
Ugh. Really? Rockstar as well?
Right, after you rank up. That's going to take a while for most people. Or you could just run over to the military base and steal a fighter jet to deal with the people who have them.
Your money carries over, so your are purposely given less options to earn money and missions give less money
What made you think they would be different?
Trevor has like a 150+ mil in his bank account, I don't think money is gonna be a problem. He makes millions so easy.
Rockstar to make another $1 Billion off suckers confirmed.
