Has anyone actually bought credits?

[azrilnazli]

World of warcraft has so much dlc. I too buy the mount within the game because to get the flying mount , you'll need to find 25 real human downing a dragon

I don't see the need for microtransactions in this game. I have an 8-6 day job and I still managed to grind 500 million credits to buy the 800 cars that I want. The Red Bull Standard event pays 2 million in 20 minutes (you can skip the last race and still win). There are a couple of 20 million cars, but if you compare to GT5 most of the LMPs are actually cheaper now. Besides GT2 (GT All Stars @ Red Rock Valley), GT6 has been the easiest GT game to earn money so far (discounting GT5's seasonals).

Another problem with buying microtransactions is you're telling game companies that they can get away with 🤬 like messing up in-game economies to sell overpriced credits packs. In the future the only losers will be gamers. Polyphony has been good so far with free DLCs and things like login bonuses, but if people keep buying these credit packs GT7 and beyond might suffer the same economy problems as GTA5.

Nobody has mentioned that cars in GT are really expensive. We have cars for 20 million credits. The most expensive cars in Forza are 2 million, maybe 2.5 million. paying money for credits makes sense in Forza. The most expensive pack we have wont even get you the most expensive car. It can get you 3 of the most expensive cars in Forza.

but the 20 million credit cars are either priceless or upwards of 30 million dollars in real life.

but the 20 million credit cars are either priceless or upwards of 30 million dollars in real life.

so are the 2 million credit cars in Forza

 

[Aphelion]

so are the 2 million credit cars in Forza

and that's my point. GT's prices make more sense.

My reaction to PD for putting I micro-transactions --->

Sorry, I wouldn't buy credits if I needed 50 million in 1 hour to make a race. Micro-transactions just make me do that evil laugh inside my mind. 💡

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Sans the VGT Glitch, do you know a 25 minutes X1 Standard drive is producing 2 million Cr. worth 10 Dollars (am i right?)

If it's taking you 25 minutes to complete the Red Bull standard championship, you're doing it wrong. Get 1st on the first 4 races, load the 5th race and abandon it. Should take less than 20 minutes to get that 2 million. That's 6 million per hour. It'll take 3 hours and 20 minutes to afford a 20 million credit car.

 

[Aphelion]

So @Doodle your telling me you bought all of the credits sums and you say Hahaha no thanks? If you ask me, thats impossible.

I couldn't resist. Honest.

But seriously I haven't bought any credits.

 

[occasionalracer]

Yup, took complete advantage of the glitch and months later 'out of the goodness of my heart' handed PD 2 x $20 PSN cards (which I believe I was gifted) and gave back a bit. I'm not the hugest gamer in the world outside racing so I just said meh.. this is to aid PD in paying an employee for a couple hours..

No matter how you slice it, having to run the same race over and over for the equivalent of two full weeks of work or vacation for that matter, in order to buy virtual cars is a complete waste of time for a lot of people and poor game design. Good game design would involve you simply enjoying the game, playing it as designed, and everything becoming available to you through an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment that you actually look forward to. There's a reason it's called "grinding" and not "fun".

 

[Alutec]

I think buying credits is really stupid, like seriously. What happened to the old days when you had to put effort into it?

 

[Aquarelle]

Takes literally no time at all to make money in GT6, why on earth would you waste your money?

 

[gt3_racer05]

I didn't actually buy it, I just bought the game and it came w/ the game

 

[Aphelion]

I didn't actually buy it, I just bought the game and it came w/ the game

Thats interesting. i never heard of GT6 coming with a credit bonus...
Oh and you really couldn't be bothered to type 'with'? you just had to type 'w/'???

Fact is even for a game as lengthy and well designed like GT4 people still grind that German Championship for a very hard money.

So we have a conclusion. Either Kaz are very nice in person or He just desperate for people to buy GT6.

Sony may change the behavior. But remember also this is the same company who recently rejected EA Access for not beneficial to players among that XBone opening ruining. So there is a hope for Kaz to keep this pace in GT7.

I believe he means the Special edition which feature some 15th aniv. cars, apex 2 book, a special suit, and a free two million Credits

In GT5 getting to level 40 XP was grinding. In GT6 it's far from being as bad IMO. Honestly I just did the RB Challenge once per day everyday for six months. 20 mins per day is all it takes. And they ARE fun events (fast car, great sound, pretty competitive AI). And there are only a handful of cars that cost more than 2 million, so you can buy almost whatever you want after that and have fun races with your new car.

I can see what you mean though. I'd also love to have everything unlocked from day 1 for a change. But ever since GT1 grinding for the top cars has always been tradition. It just makes the expensive cars more special when you finally get to drive it. And I feel the grinding in GT6 is not quite as bad as previous games, considering that microtransactions are available and things could be much worse.

I thought he meant the Special "Special" edition which allowed you to buy a car in the future before travelling back in time to sell it in the past multiple times.

 

[MrUnknown]

No.

 

[GBalao888]

I got so impatient with grinding credits in the game once, which made me buy a Cr. 7,000,000 microtransaction. Don't ask me what I bought in the game using these credits.

 

[forzaturismo]

no...

That's only going to make us want to know more.

When hell freezes over...

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

I obviously exaggerated. I think, to buy credits you gotta be someone who certainly can afford wasting money. Because in my opinion is just wasting money, or getting stolen.
Thats my opinion, you have yours, i respect it, perhaps you could respect mine aswell.

I think buying credits is really stupid, like seriously. What happened to the old days when you had to put effort into it?

Takes literally no time at all to make money in GT6, why on earth would you waste your money?

Like I said, I don't consider me buying credits so my granddaughter can enjoy the cars that she wants to drive in the game a waste or stupid. The cost of watching her enjoy the game and have fun is priceless. Also, as I've also stated, I did not have the time or ambition to grind for a bunch of cash for her. I really don't see what the issue is here if someone choses to buy credits or not, its not your money.

 

[Aquarelle]

Why do you care what other people think? If you want to buy credits buy credits, that won't stop us thinking it's a poor decision.

I understand what you're saying, but if you think of it in-depth, it affects all of us. If no one buys credits, this option would be removed and more in-game prize credits would be given. If a lot of people buy credits, this option will stay and gain weight.

Well it's your money, you should spend it as you want.

But in your place I wouldn't do it, mostly because i'm kind of poor.

And I see your point as well, but for people to come on here saying that it is stupid or a waste of money without knowing, or just disregarding, one's own reasoning for doing so, just doesn't sit well with me.....but again, I do see and understand your side as well. 👍

@UrieHusky Key word in your post is "thinking." You can think it is a poor decision all you want, but in my case, it definitely wasn't.

 

[shmogt]

In terms of buying credits with real cash to me it isn't that serious. A lot of games have options to buy cash, but what is the point? You are just going to get stuff sooner, but in the end would of gotten that money anyway by playing and now you have less real money.

 

[Ninners]

I did it once because I was tight on credits early on in career mode. Of course this was before I discovered the VGT glitch.
