Read properly bro. We are talking about micro transaction not about the base game as a whole.
The ways to earn cash to buy cars are the same not talking about cars, tracks and stuff.

I just wanna facepalm.
But whatever floats your boat dude. Whatever floats your boat.

seems like Asia countries are no-go yet?

actually ppl like grinding.. u look at majority of gaming habits.. its actually playing same thing over and over again.. grinding culture
like CS/dota.. ppl jus play same maps over and over again.. if the game is jus one story mode ppl finish and dun play anymore.. how many times can u replay a story based game?
so they using leveraging ppl who grind.. pretty sure many wont mind.. u can grind if wan or pay if u dowan to grind..
simple logic..
I seen my frens grinding 2 hrs each day on pokopang just to get cherries coz they dowan to pay..
that is just how it is, grinding is part of gaming..
if they grinding dun feel like grinding it is not called grinding anymore and they wont have extra income.. the whole point is to have extra cashflow..
same like u, I do not have faith in those publisher making it fair.. its always bias.. who dowan earn extra money?
but the problem is who will win? publisher or consumers?

Make sense bro. But grinding has always been a part of GT. Since the first franchise. Real fans don't really mind though.
Yes the handling and everything is totally different, but GT6 has a lot of improvements to offer and worth the purchase.

It's pretty easy though just ignore the microtransaction part and we are good to go
I blame Apple and mobile gaming for microtransaction hahaha.

Respect your ways of thinking but there isn't that much microtransaction game yet. Only GT6 is going this route. I hate it too.
Kind of unfair.. Rich people get everything while poor ones have to grind. But it's all part of the game. I play to enjoy, so...buat lek buat pis

Alamak when Project Cars coming out? I don't really like GT that much either btw.. Grid 2 is way better imo.

Does it even matter?

The problem lies on the fact that they are tripple dipping with monetisation by having a retail $60 game, inevitable paid DLCs and now, offering microtrasactions to impatient gamers.

When consumers start to accept this type of exploitation, then, we have a major problem. And I thought seasoned console and PC gamers are way smarter than most the dumb sheep on mobile who thought that microtrasactions were fine until you literally need to pay to advance in some silly mobile game. Sony did this "optional" microtrasactions to readapt and recondition gamers to accept microtrasactions in AAA games which i think it has no place considering we are paying far more for games than mobile gamers and the games we pay are not free to play to begin with.

Microtransactions in free to play are arguably alright if its implemented properly and ethically but vast majority just exploit it to its limits. How naive of you to think that Sony or Microsoft will not push the limits of micortransaction with their console games.

No doubt there are no content behind paywall but will it stay this way in the future? I really doubt so.

Wanna see how is GT10 will look like in the future? Take a look at Real Racing 3, GT Racing 2 and Asphalt 8 on iOS and Android now. Also, try to play RR3 till the Zenith Cup without paying a cent, I like to see how much fun you'll have as these games are literally impossible to play without paying a huge sum of money or without hacking it. Thats where Microsoft and Sony wants to be in the future, where every single thing in the game is nickle and dime to the point you have to even pay to reload bullets, according to EA's ex-CEO, because it is just utterly profitable for them.

If the western games industry becomes what Korean or Chinese MMOs are today, I wish to be no part of it. That is where Microsoft and Sony heading to.

And fanboys will be fanboys? Chill out, we are just saying that we hate microtransactions and you can state your points, stop sulking lol.

On the point raised by kof91, I understand that some people would rather pay money to reduce the grinding in order to save time, but I am just pissed that we have to pay for it instead of setting the cheats on via console or hex edit etc. This is especially crappy if we have paid good money for the dang game, which is probably why I gave up on consoles. My PS3, 360, and Wii are now all decorations while I am putting hours/days into my PC where I have more controls over the games I have bought.

I might start up consoles to play Last of Us, or any specific console-only games but lol, will only do so once I have free time.

I don't really play mobile games that much just sitting there in my iPad and didn't even open.
I just give my smaller cousins to play it haha

Mobile games so far are the worse and GT6 is definitely a step to see whether people will accept it or not.
I hope no one buys those instant cash though, it will just make things worse and hopefully no such thing as everything microtransaction in the future hahaha.
Ayo when you talk about Korean and Chinese MMOs.. I don't know what to say.. lol! I quit MMO because I'll never pay to win lol!

Diablo 3 is a good example though. They drop the auction house and turns it all into the old game again where you need to kill to get the good lots, not buy.
If people stop supporting all this crap for sure, they will drop it just like how Blizzard drops Diablo 3 Auction house.

ik3da Not really a GT fan but more of a Grid fan. Just defending what I think is right.

I actually like a bit of grinding in games but the problem is, the grinds in game has been exploited to the point that it is literally endless in order to sell you microtransactions or DLCs. I am not cool with that sort of grinds. Especially after you throw in microtransactions.

I really have no faith in the new generation of consoles and most AAA publishers. They are going to exploit the consumers to cover their inefficient business operation.

Grinding alone is fine, if there is an end to it even if its dozens of hours away but having microtransactions will most likely mean that they will tweak its gridning eventually.That is just the first step, they will make microtransactions even worse in future installments.

GT's problem has always been that Polyphony has always been slow in catching up to its competitors which is why Forza managed to be a much bigger game than GT in the previous gen which at the end, especially on the driving sensation part as most cars in GT5 feels like driving a Toyota Yaris or something, even for expensive supercars.

Project CARS should be out sometime next year. Full production has started but its a fairly niche game as they aim to focus a lot on motorsports than road cars with a small but well tuned car list. A Mercedes Benz SLS GT3 will behave very differently from the road version but how different is it, still depends on how they tune it. From the pre-alpha, some cars are pretty damn fun to drive now.

Macam best je, tier 1..
Macam nak je..macam nak je lol!

The reason i keep bringing out mobile games inappropriately in a PC thread is because now, consoles are no longer the major focus for the publishers but mobile gaming are the main focus of publishers, which is why we are seeing microtransactions popping up on AAA games as microtransactions business model has been proven to be incredibly successful for a lot of mobile developers. It is mainly due to the more ignorant mobile gamers about games business model, ease of access and general "dont care" attitude by most gamers who are aware that contributed to the cesspool we had with mobile.

Because Blizzard has very vocal fans who dislike it from the get go and thats why that worked but with them but i doubt it will work for the new gen consoles as people thinks microtransactions are completely optional. I wont deny it is optional now, but it doesnt mean it will be optional in the future.

This generation seemed to be full of shit from the start. What a great start.

on the bright side.. the content is already in our hdd.. we jus need to enables it?
I remember there is a hack for burnout paradise that enables all the cars

GT6 last gen though.. Not this gen since PS3
I understand the frustration, never bought in-game cash so just doing this will help our cause in eliminating microcrap.

Btw, found this on steamdb

The Steam Holiday Sale will run from Thursday, December 19 until Thursday, January 2nd.

wow.. another 2 weeks of pure sales?

Another 2 weeks of hoping for Pricing Errors?

Omg..

Which is why PC gaming is/will always be the best platform Yeah, I am a PC fanboy (if there is such a thing)

Winter is coming! Wallets ready! Cards ready! Excuses for wife ready!
