I had 200 ms points collecting dust so I figured I'd use them on The Godfather since I was in the process of completing the story missions.


After I killed Tessio and then saved, every time I would load up the game it would show me how much money and respect I got for that mission "It's only business". So far not too weird.



Now I realize that every business I try to extort doesn't say no to me, and I automatically get the business, the best part is that it doesn't show up in my statistics of how many business's I extort, it stays at the same number, same thing for robbing banks, hitman missions etc.


The awesome part is that it also add's 5% to my mission statistics, so as of right now after not even completing the story missions I'm 104.5%.

My 23 hour saved game is now worthless, as nothing I do gets logged into my statistics.


This only happened once I bought some of the ingame money.



Just a heads up for anyone else.

 

[elostyle]

You have some balls posting this.

 

[Diablohead]

Now we have to pay for patches :lol

That's realy bad, surely EA did enough testing, but then again they probably just want the money and slapped those microtransactions up in a week.

 

[Mojovonio]

you're lucky Luke is a late sleeper.

 

[TheGrue]

blah blah blah...

the best part is that it doesn't show up in my statistics of how many business's I extort, it stays at the same number, same thing for robbing banks, hitman missions etc.

So, which one is actually the best part?

 

[DarienA]

I'm obviously missing something... what did you do with the 200 points?

 

[itsinmyveins]

Micro rip-offs = teh future.

I bought some of the ingame money, since I had 200 points collecting dust for months.

 

[BobTheFork]

seee, we warned ya, now look at yourself hahaha.

seriously it looks like EA doesn't even want you to buy mircotransactions

 

[DSN2K]

sigh...

 

[MMaRsu]

Then you deserve it. You bought that pos game + microtransactions..you fail at gaming

 

[DarienA]

No sympathy for you.

You are the problem. Microtransactions for money....grrr.

 

[mysticstylez]

I didn't buy the game I rented it, i'd rather have put the 200 to something of better use than a game theme or picture for my xbl dashboard.

Don't hate I love my Battlestar Galactica Theme!

 

[mysticstylez]

Wow, I posted this just to make other people aware if they were gonna do it, and I get bashed about it.

 

[Wollan]

This is only the beginning.

You sure failed at that...

 

[john tv]

There's a word for this: Karma

 

[sprsk]

You totally deserve any and all bashing.

Heh sorry man, your intentions are good, it's just that microtransactions are a sensitive thing around here, and even more so when you buy in game money that you could earn easily yourself.

 

[Kusagari]

That sure worked out well, ehh?

Like I said the 200 pts were collecting dust for over a month, and since I was in the process of trying to get 100% for The Godfather I thought I'd use it.

 

[VALIS]

It's not a "pos." I thought it would be, too, but I ended up with it since I couldn't find anything else I wanted in the TRU 3-for-2 sale, and it's really rather good. I put in about 10 hours over the weekend. GTA in the 1940s, with Godfather characters. So much to do. Graphics aren't very hot, but otherwise it's a very nice game. Hand to hand combat is great, gunplay is satisfying, I wouldn't have been let down if I bought it at $60. I know, go figure, I thought it was going to be a shitfest as well.

 

[Zep]

LOL.

 

[MoxManiac]

Ahaha, buying microtransactions for a game you don't even own

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Every time someone buys a Microtransaction, God kills a kitten!

 

[Brannon]

So they port a current gen game to a next-gen system and just shoehorn microtransactionable crap in it...

That's just great.

 

[ShutEye]

Like I said the 200 pts were collecting dust for over a month, and since I was in the process of trying to get 100% for The Godfather I thought I'd use it.

Do you have $5 that's just been sitting around in your wallet for a week?

Cause I have a log of shit I could sell you.

Spoiler

I hope your 360 dies

EA: Its in the game (once you pay extra for it, lol)!

You save those 200 points because shit never costs in an increment you can purchase. You fail at life.

 

[RegularMK]

I think everyone will agree with me when I saw you deserve nothing less than crows gouging your eyes out.

You terrible, terrible man.

 

[HomShaBom]

Micro-fail.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Serves you right! You got Microraped!

 

[jarosh]

there are no words

 

[MirageDwarf]

You supported evil EA by buying this. Karma never fails. :lol

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

I hope you are happy that one kitten was killed, because of your actions.

 

[koam]

Wow, I posted this just to make other people aware if they were gonna do it, and I get bashed about it.

You're supporting terrorism by buying microtransactions.

 

[Archaix]

One could only hope that somebody did this on purpose.

 

[Angelcurio]

Thanks to people like you is that companies like EA keeps ****ing us up with Microtransactions. You really deserve some kind of tag.

 

[Sloane]

Great thread! :lol

 

[Ranger X]

****ING LOL !!

Viva next-gen!
Half baked games (bugs) + Microrapements = You double boned!


Seriously this is so shitty i don't even know where to start...

STOP MICROTRANSACTING PEOPLE -- or you're part of the problem.

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

Damn.. I can't tell which people are sarcastic, and which are just whiney bitches.

I was being serious

I.. I hate you then. Sorry though, I'm sure you'll make it up to me one day.

 

[RegularMK]

You'll know after the rapture.

Is this any indication you side with the evil side of gaming? (Microstransactions)

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

I don't have as big of a problem with them as most it seems. I'm a believer in if you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as that.

You'll know after the rapture.

Got a time on that? So I can get right beforehand?

 

[charlequin]

EA: Its in the game (until you pay us to break it)!

Helpfully amended!

 

[Tieno]

1)Buying(renting?) an EA last-gen port
2)Buying in-game money
