GameZone writes, "Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer component which will be free for all Grand Theft Auto 5 players, could support microtransactions. According to Redditor 1880, the store section of GTA 5 (which currently has nothing available yet) points to a file that allegedly references something called Cash Cards."

Wtf. Does this make it pay to win?

Snookies123860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

Yes this would, if true. I certainly hope it's not though.

Then again, even if you have a ton of money in-game it won't really have much bearing on winning/losing.

No, it makes it "pay to enjoy a nice house" without having to earn it.

I will be earning my money the hard way....the fun way.

Rockstar are becoming greedy and that is bad.

xhi43860d ago

Not really - it's business, they've got to make money out of it - they'll probably end up making it a huge free to play universe where earning money in-game is vital to progression, but allow some people to buy credits so they can speed up and unlock/buy things quicker if they want to.

I say good stuff Rockstar, good business model and keep pumping out awesome content!

0pie3860d ago

they go where the industry is going and we are to blame.
I guess if the industry go in this way its because there is a lot of people who buy micro transaction stuff.

FullMetalTech3860d ago

wel there was info on this before. Some early players saw that there were guns missing in the Ammunation store which lead them to the Marketplace.It had them priced
individual.

Sucks to see that gta online will now be pay to win money is going to run the online and this puts the pin on it claiming the people who buy the cards will have the better stuff and own the online experience.

I hope GTAO is sold separately I would love to pay for just the online portion of the game. It looks like it they keep on saying it is free for ppl who paid for GTAV already so I hope if you did not buy GTAV then you can pay like half and just get the online part lol. I won’t even buy this game until online comes out.
OT: I see nothing wrong with this if done right if you don't want to wait and build up money slow then why not spend real money to get a lot of GTA money real quick that way you can go buy guns and houses because some people don't want to wait and stack money to go buy a house.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar35d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo35d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg35d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos35d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
