In that case I won't put a damn penny towards this game. Fuck take2.
Truly a shame since the single player is fantastic and there was a shitton of effort put into it.
Probably never going to buy another rockstar game after this. I knew they'd shove microtransactions in, that was a given, but they're pushing further and further to see what they can get away with.
Congratulations, folks who keep buying sports games riddled with these types of microtransactions, you've helped set the precedent for shitty publishers to expand them into other genres.
Real fucking shady that they'd put them in after launch day.
And they're going to sell like fucking hotcakes, and we'll be stuck with them.
I've not actually finished the game due to work and stuff (though I'm a decent chunk through the epilogue), but I wasn't interested in the multiplayer beforehand and everything I've read makes me less interested. If I've paid £50 for a game, any attempt of micro-transactions can fuck off.
COD did the same thing. Welcome to the new era of post-launch implementation.
I don't see how anyone is surprised with what they did to GTA:O. That powercreep with how much stuff costed forcing you to either find a hacker, buy sharkcards or grind for a week straight to get one vehicle.
What are they going to do to make you pay? Add horses with miniguns?
Person who's played GTA:O for two years reporting in. Yes, they will. And then an update later once everyone's paid for it, add a robot horse with a rocket launcher, and then find something out of my imagination to render said robo-horse obsolete with the next update.
A lot of the weapons are locked behind money walls. Either pay a fuck ton of in game cash for a gun or fork over $10 each, basically.
I think it was a Jim Stirling video where it was like 20 gold bars for a gun or several hundred dollars (maybe even $1,000) in game cash to unlock some rifle. It's fucking insulting.
A lot of people said the same thing after the shit with GTAO. I find myself reminded of the Modern Warfare 3 boycott image.
I was willing to give them one more chance, I thought they might not go quite as hard on the MTs this time, but clearly they're going even harder with them so fuck them. I was already considering not buying RDR2 beforehand
iirc take2 said they'd put micro transactions in all their future games a little while after gta:o got released.
Ohh hell no, the CEO of Take2 is disgusting and has said on more than one occasion how much disdain he has for the players and his intention to fully exploit them. The GTAO Shark Cards were literally the most profitable thing ever.
Microtransactions simply make so much money not having them is the same as willingly losing a ton of money to the shareholders.
I still can't believe that they went so hard with the Spytech in GTA and never did anything with it story wise outside that one heist. Endgame players are literally fucking supervillains.
They introduced a fucking flying bike that makes pub play a nightmare. THEN MADE A BETTER VERSION WITH AN INFINITE RESUPPLY STATION
Somehow the topic came up in discussion between my brother and I a few days ago. He actually believed they were going to balance out the prices of stuff, I believed that "balance" meant they were adding microtransactions. Sometimes it sucks being right, even if it's towards something you can't make use of.
Watch as the game gets no singleplayer content ever
Remember when they LITERALLY ANNOUNCED SINGLEPLAYER CONTENT FOR GTAV
And then said content was put into GTA Online instead. Yeah that was shitty alright.
This is why you unzip the Chernobog and show those funny bikie boys how worthless their toys are. Literally nothing an Oppressor is capable of can fight back against the Cherno. Some mad lad on R*'s dev team has a real boner for the Cherno because it is straight up the absolute best anti-air weapon in the entire game and almost nothing a jet/helo can do will fight back against it. Even chaff and flares are useless.
How can anyone be surprised by this? Pretty sure R* and Take2 made more from shark cards than all GTA5 sales.
Rockstar cant get my money if I spent it all on booze haha
armoured bulletproof wagon with a gattling gun
I guarantee it
Ohh I'm already imagining something like an armored wagon with firing ports and gatling guns on the sides and a horse covered in armor plates.
Do the same as me: buy the game for the single-player experience, and forget the multiplayer even exists. The single-player mode is worth every penny and good honest work deserves compensation.
