How is the structure relevant?

Are you serious? You said all games had an element of work to progress in response to my comment on grinding in gt, You said that to excuse GT5's pisspoor career mode which is a result of the game structure, You are trying to justify grinding, Grinding is a result of lack of game structure, Thats how its relevant, The same race had to be done over and over again to progress and the race that you needed to grind on had nothing to do with progressing, There is literally nothing some of you guys will not defend or make excuses for on PD's behalf, Games should be fun and a challenge not a choir, When playing gt5 i felt like it was a part time job just to progress and buy cars i wanted before it was patched, And a boring job it felt like too

Funny, because it was your argument who claimed that there was relevance between them. Remember this?

Yes i thought you were on about home copies, So just leads to believe that you are just doing your best to defend pd no matter what

Can't believe people are complaining so hard on this. You don't have to even look at it if you don't have to.
It's easy to ignore if you don't like it.

We have a lot of post here that explain why there's a big chance that this will be impossible to ignore
It's not like dlc cars or track, that's something you can ignore. Don't like, don't buy.
With micro transaction you have to touch the core of the game and adapt it to this concept somehow.
They don't put something like this just as ''an option'', if they want to make good money implementing this.

Amazon looks pretty dumb offering 1,000,000.00 pre-order now!!! If you must get the pre-order get gamestop's. You get 25 premium cars that can't be bought with in-game credits... Anyway it's ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS... right??? anybody who races for real is going to find their favorites and go with that and keep their money... I do hope there continues to be incentives for seasonals etc... comparable to "pay to win" otherwise this is going to get completely out of hand... I've lost interest in a number of Tecmo and Namco games as a result of this kind of marketing... Street Fighter X Tekken anyone???

I hate those cars. I am so anal about my models being authentic I once customized painted my McLaren F1 that beautiful color shift tvr orange and could never drive it again "because the color wasn't right" and I did not get the original f1 paint chip to restore it back to original. Stupid I know, but that's just me. I'm also one of those guys who won't tune a car unless I have a duplicate.

Ey dude is that your Lamborghini?
 
Imo, credits wont save your hide if you cant drive. Even SRF cant help the amount of horrible drivers I have encountered. If you cant keep your car straight more credits is only going to get you eye candy.

I did that many times in GT5, one stock car and the others being various variants (whether it was one stock Gallardo and a superleggera tune, or one regular SLR and a 722 tune)
 
Hey, are we in trouble though? I hope the moderators forgive us for going off topic because I can't stand the dark atmosphere in this thread.

I don't see how a cap is a problem (But I also don't see the point of it either). Don't you save credits to buy cars??

I think it's shameless knowing that kids with no concept of wealth will spend every cent they can on a game

Ok. Here's the problem with "capping". If they limit the poor or patient folks by making it so you can't buy a certain car or a certain upgrade without spending your real world dollars, over and above what you've already spent for the gear, software, and infrastructure, to play, then it's a problem. That would be what I'd call shameless profiteering. They're leveraging your desire for something with an easily enforceable fulcrum. I sincerely hope they don't do this. Because they could, and fairly easily.

If all they do is make it so you can "afford" to buy a certain car or upgrade sooner than the aforementioned poor or patient folks, then it's not a problem. Those that want it quicker can, those that can't or don't want to get it quicker, can still get it. Whatever "it" is, it'll just take them longer.
 
Most likely I won't pay real money to get in game credits, unless special occasions present themselves. But I do have a friend that is a great GT driver, but doesn't have much time anymore to grind away at the game. It will take him easily 5 times longer than me to get the same amount of cars. I bet he will be thrilled to learn this new news. Yes it was a lot of fun racing 200hp cars online for the first few days, but I bet they will still be there.
 
I just had a bad connection go on... Remember how they said "DLC" cars would now appear at our dealerships for all to buy... what if you cant gain credits normally 0.0

Exactly, This has got me worried about the game becasue if money was easy to come by then surely sony/pd wouldnt expect to be able to sell this scam so my worry is they have based the game around it, I very much doubt i will buy this game on pre-order now and just wait to see what the crac is when there are 100s of new threads on here on december 6th

Yes, I am. Thank you for asking.

Your arguments doesn't get any better just because you can use nasty words.

And no, I didn't say that to excuse GT5's career mode, I said that because most games have an element where you need to work and collect resources in order to progress.

You are trying to justify grinding,
Click to expand...

If that's what you think I suggest that you go back and read again.

Grinding is a result of lack of game structure, Thats how its relevant, The same race had to be done over and over again to progress and the race that you needed to grind on had nothing to do with progressing,
Click to expand...

Before the seasonal events there was a point late on in the career path that forced you to repeat events over and over again in order to progress. Ever since the seasonals appeared I haven't repeated a single race, I've done the seasonals and all the rest has been just for fun.

The structure is irrelevant because no matter how the structure is layed out, those who seldom plays the game will end up collecting less resources (credits) than those who play frequently.

There is literally nothing some of you guys will not defend or make excuses for on PD's behalf,

So why oppose so strongly about an option that allows people to skip the "boring" parts and go straight for what they want?

I don't even know what this meme is about but the dog it's really cool LOL
 
This is great in my opnion. I don't have time to grind to get the good cars and be competitive online.
So I'd pay for in-game credits. Lets say each 10 dollars spent in Gt6 credits would save me time to make 200 dollars in real life :)
