You know what? I'm going to bother guys. I'll just take out a chair, grab some fresh popcorn and just enjoy reading the whining over this ONE little thing, because to me it's laughable. Care to join?

"Oh no, PD is following the path as EA!? Pre-order cancelled"... :lol:

I'll join you.

Seriously, I'm hyped as duck for the game release. I'll not let this minor stupid thing screw with all my good feelings about what will be THE BIGGEST GT game ever.

There's a lot of sides in this subject: there's a changed game market, it's 2013 and some of us still think that GT is that old PS1 game. There's people that simply don't have the time to play 4 hours a day to get a bunch of credits to buy a 10million car. There's a big company, Sony behind PD that needs more and more money (all companies do.)

Don't like, don't buy the cash. Simply like that. I bet that 90% of typical GT players, will not buy the credits.

Sweet, you made the right choice. Trust me, never let something like this get in the way of your passion for a game you love very much.

It'll only be shameless if they somehow cap the ones that don't pay.

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
 
As long as the people online don't screw this up (which they will) I'm fine with this. I can still play the game how I want, and others can too.

Well, this is certainly something I wasn't expecting with GT. However, its not gonna stop me from getting GT6. Unless I forced to get the money for completing the game (Dirt III anyone?), hardly worth complaining about. I'll play the game I want to with the content I'm getting from my pre-order and get all the cars doing it the same way I've been doing it: playing the game. All this does is weed out who actually can and can't race (which I was already doing anyhow).

Edit: To the OP, technically its not "Bribing" so much as it is "buying" your way to victory.
 
I think we just need to have a more stricter (online) level based system for cars and/or rooms. For cars just to have a certain level to acquire a car. And for online just experience/level organized rooms. There will always be trolls ruining the party for anyone else, but atleast it will be more selected on experience/level?

If because of this we'll make less money in the usual way i'll be really pissed. Really.

One of the reasons why GT2 was 100 times better than 5 and 4, is because we actually made less money. It was a challenge to drive your way through the REAL single player campaign. But all that changed with GT4 and The Cadillac Cien. Get one, sell it, buy 30 cars, equip them all with max upgrades. Rince, repeat.
 
Everybody be cool, you be cool...

Actually I would rather go the free-to-play way if we are allowed to purchase in-game credits.

For instance Real Racing 3 (from EA) demands quite a lot grinding to progress if you do not want to spend real money and it becomes boring but with my wheel and the new physics I wouldn't mind at all on GT6, then I could buy DLC if interested, what do you think?
 
I think it's a good thing. Maybe the extra funds from the idiots who would actually buy credits means free DLC?

Free to play is destroying the industry. Because of people thinking like you.

Haha, lazy now for playing a game to get these highly expensive cars people don't have the time to get? Amazing... Let people play the way they want to play, why are others telling them the way they should play? It's their game, they bought it and it's their money, enough with this elitism already guys.
Click to expand...
Yes let people play the game they payed cash for the way they want, Why not let someone who doesnt have time to grind have access to every car in the game from the get go? Why not along side this have a single player game that has had more than 5 minutes thought put into it where cars are unlocked as you progress for people who do have time to play it? no lets charge them for the game then charge them to buy cars in game instead!

Its funny that pd are getting with the times on the monetising side of things but on the game side are still in the last century

the whining over this ONE little thing
Click to expand...

It's always "one little thing" though, isn't it? But when you put all those little things together, there are lots of little things.

Due to the ironically large list of "one little thing(s)" critiquing them on individual basis helps to clarify the whining - sound whining, AI whining, Rover whining, car list whining, micro transaction whining, livery editor whining, day one patch whining, paint chip whining.... not quite "one little thing" eh?

No thank you. I like the classic start-from-the-bottom-way.

That's why I'm not gettin the special edition with all those cars and credits. The game is already easy enough. (too much actually). Some people will of course, because they want to collect all cars. They are at the right place, GT series is not the real "driving simulator" anymore but rather, the Bill Gates collecting cars experience".

It's hundreds of little things. And some are big things : Like the Hood/bonnet view

Pretty sure Kaz said we are getting a new track every month or something and a lot of the DLC will be free. I won't pay for DLC if I am paying £40 for GT5 MKII lol

It's GT4.2 as far as I'm concerned.
 
What is the point of this? Buying game credits with real money obliterates any sense of progression in the game and defeats the point of even having the career mode. It also unbalances an already unbalanced in-game economic system. Hell what's the point of even having game credits? At this rate you might as well just get rid of game credits and charge us real money for everything.

With "less" i mean to the point that you actually feel penalized... in gt2 i didn't had grinding situation, it had the right flow.
When you put something like this in a game it's different: where's the point if you can do the same thing for free? Faster? That may be not enough. So, you give a really big advantage for those who pay, you go in the middle or you nerf the actual gameplay enough to appeal people with the easy way? That's my "fear".
 
It could've been worse: They could've pulled a EA and put up a "unlock all the cars" pack (which actually was useful given how terrible both Shift games were).
