Sony Adds "Macro" transactions to GT6

[Fatboi1]

doesn't it have "battle packs" or whatever?

and I'm not sure how microtransactions in a $60 game are that different from paid day one (or shortly after) DLC in a $60 game

The battlepacks aren't microtransactions from what I seen. You just get XP from playing until you get enough to unlock it. I didn't see any "buy" option.

As for you not being sure how the transactions are different, look at it like this: GT6 DLC will be free with some paid dlc I think. Forza is giving you less content, microtransactions that are compelling since the in game grind is changed to make it harder to get credits, and upcoming dlc to make up for lack of content has a cost. GT6 again has more content day 1, free dlc that's upcoming, and optional microtransactions(Because the in game grind is unchanged.) You tell me how you don't see the difference.

That when taking into context, this is complete BS. One is a last gen game built on assets from its previous games, One is all new everything built from scratch. The boost of xp button is not mandatory, I have not used it once. There is no need. Unlike The GT games your first cars are not 63hp throwaways you are itching to get out of. Everything else on that list is pure BS and you had to post it because cant make any valid arguments yourself because you have not played the game.

So you're saying Forza DOESN'T have have less content overall?? Let's entertain this thought. Let's say using your "last gen asset" argument, that Forza shipped with less content because everything is "from scratch." Why can't it be free in the future?? Why is the in game currency grind or w/e changed?? Why is there a xp button in the game?? For example using your "last gen asset" argument again, logic would dictate that Guerilla games would charge for mp DLC maps in KZSF but they aren't and that game is using all new assets right??

One has it so that you jump out the game and search for it and one has it so that you can get it in game with the ease of a button, it being non obligatory doesn't change the fact that the XP economy is changed. One last question, what does playing the game have to do with knowing about these things?? I don't have to put in hella time to know that the game has less content, microtransactions and a skewed XP system.

You're emotional as hell dog like . You sounding like a women when you post.

obviously free dlc isn't "paid day one dlc"

as usual I'm just trying to get people to discuss these topics outside on any particular games

Yup. Free DLC and day one paid dlc isn't the same thing, thanks for the enlightenment.

I'm not saying I'm a advocate of microtransactions but again depending on it's implementation and what game it is, it can be better or worse. Microtransactions in a competitive MP game where you can easily buy powerful weapons and attachments isn't good imo but if it's for purely cosmetic things then I don't see the issue. I'd say that for games that do add it, it would be better if it came later like a year or so to offset for new players.

My god with the spins, When did I say it had more content? In fact when did I even speak on content? Yes it has less content than previous Forza games. I already explained that. As for as the xp button etc. Its called OPTIONS There nothing wrong with having options. And your last questions is the dumbest one yet! "One last question, what does playing the game have to do with knowing about these things??" nikka it has everything to do with the argument. If you have not had significant time with a game how are in the position to judge it? Thats like me shytting on BF4 because I "read" somewhere some guy did not like it.

What the fukk does your last statement have to do with anything?? I didn't "shyt" on the game, I just merely used a post to sum up my thoughts. The post itself had nothing to do with "shytting" on the game but more so a clarification on the differences of how each game used microtransactions and their respective DLC/content updates. You say there's nothing wrong with options and I agree, but when said options is designed in a way that distorts the way I was able to do something previously then it's a cause for concern. You're ignoring the big glaring difference with the two but carry on, I see this going nowhere. You're argument wants to boil down to merely a morality issue and to do that you have to completely strip each game down to "they both have paid dlc and microtransactions!!!" "SONY DOES IT TOO SO THEY'RE WRONG!!". I really could not care less about each game as I'm not buying either or though I may rent GT6 to try it out.

Yeah I see this going nowhere because I have the game. I had access to every car in the game If I wanted it, all without using micro transaction or the xp button.

All you PS 3 gamers get ready to pay up! PolyPHONY digital has just released their latest microtransaction fee schedule for the upcoming LAST gen game GTA 6.

I know Sony fans were frothing at the mouth to shyt on Forza 5 for its fee schedule, but it appears that GTA6 going to be even more draconian!

Read and weep stans:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-12-04-gran-turismo-6-microtransaction-pricing-revealed

We already knew Polyphony's racer would include microtransactions - a first for the series. Now we're nearing the game's Friday 6th December release more information on how these work has been revealed.

Let's start with the virtual currency, credits. Credits, which you use to buy cars and parts, can be bought in 500K, 1 million, 2.5 million and 7 million denominations.
The PlayStation Store updated today with the prices for these. They are as follows:

500,000 In-Game Credits (£3.99/€4.99)
1 Million In-Game Credits (£7.99/€9.99)
2,500,000 In-Game Credits (£15.99/€19.99)
7 Million In-Game Credits (£39.99/€49.99)
The video, below, showcases GT6's cars and reveals one of the top priced, the Jaguar XJ13, which costs 20 million credits. You can grind for it in traditional Gran Turismo fashion or you can buy it straight away if you drop £119.95 - that's the total you pay for two packs of 7m credits, two packs of 2.5m credits and one pack of 1m credits.

The issue is, will Gran Turismo's progression system be adversely affected by microtransactions? Eurogamer's Martin Robinson has been playing the game and tells me GT6's economy works exactly the same as GT5's, with progression, payouts and car prices very similar.

Sony maintains that GT6's microtransactions offer players an alternative fast-track route through the series' famously grindy progression. Eurogamer's review will be published on Friday.

Pay tons of cash to drive cars on an inferior game on a last gen system brehs....
