Has anyone here actually bought a Shark card? If so, how much?

[serpentofIight]

No but I glitched million$ and have never had any of it removed so no need to buy ca$h card$

[marky101]

Think I bought the £6.99 one once. Now i've earnt (legit) £2m and sit around that level constantly so no need.

[Tails Prower]

I have bought several shark cards over the past year as required mostly to buy expensive Pegasus

vehicles that I don't want to grind for. I have bought the 8 million card at least three times over

the year.

 

That said this is one of the few games I haven't had to pay for new content on, not mentioning

any games (Hatsune Miku Song Club DLC expensive extra)....

To be honest, i'll regularly lose £20 on a fruit machine on a friday night so paying for some extra fun in GTA is a reasonable spend in comparison

[TeammateHelper]

 

 

Shark cards are for fags.

I'd rather this than:

 

High Life Suit pack - 2.99

Zentorno - 0.99

Massacro - 0.99

LTS light pack - 1.99

LTS heavy pack - 1.99

 

And so on.

f*cking hell. People who think this type of microtransactions is better... You have no idea how much BS it sounds to us.

 

Trust me, all we need is 0.99 cash cards. Not this f*cked up paid DLC content prices.

It's always easier to insult people for doing what you do than living by what you condemn others for doing.

I tried TLoU's multiplayer and was kind of annoyed when I'd discovered how much of it was 'Want this hat? Gimme money bro.' I mean, I know gaming is a business and all, but I'm not paying cash for something as miniscule as a helmet or a mask.

 

That said, I've bought the 20 dollar Shark Card back in June. Other than that, I don't frequently buy them if at all.

They took microtransactions literally. Went full, I don't know, Rovio/Zynga on the players.

 

At least Rockstar isn't P2P. I don't know if TLoU does this, but Hats in Uncharted 3 have stats on them. You literally buy to be a little better in the game.

 

Man, gotta love non-cash microtransactions.

Back in the valentines special when the Roosevelt just came out I brought a $20 cash card I believe, I was dead broke and couldn't be f*cked grinding missions to save up for it, plus I work so $20 is nothing

[hangover_bro]

Only thing I ever bought that I could simply earn was tiger woods set of clubs PGA 11. But I buy sh*t tons of dlc for games I like. Especially fallout, GTA iv rdr.

Not to my knowledge. From what I could tell those items were purely cosmetic for the most part.

[customkingpimp]

I have gotten a few, have probably spent about 80-100 on them.

my 1st player was all legit up to 137 then I stopped playing with him for a while and went to my second character bought a 20 dollar one to start her out better than my 1st character who started out on a eatin dirt income......the days where the payouts were much much lower than now.

[LambentBunny]

For friends yes for myself no. There is really no need to a few missions a day over a week or two can buy you almost anything you like.

agreed its not needed. Just there if you want it like snacks in the waiting room while you get an oil change.

[DentureDynamite]

I've bought several early on allowing me to basically get two super cars (one for variety and quick backup if the other gets destroyed) an apartment, Buzzard, plane, and boat. All very useful items when you need them.

 

Starting GTAO one year after everyone else has been grinding, adding weapons, and building rank makes Shark cards very useful, and helps balance things out, IMO. Granted, many key aspects to the game come with rank/unlocks, but still...

I spent well over $150 for BF3, and got more than my money's worth via nearly a thousand hours of entertainment over several years; I fully expect GTAO to do the same, if not more. With what the Shark cards enabled me to get early on, I'm making enough now that I don't see the need for more.

1.5 million in two weeks (e.g. enough to buy a Buzzard)? Wish I had your skills and success with missions...

[Sussus Amongus]

I bought a 20$ one back in the last gen days and litterally 2 days later hackers gave me billions. What. A. Waste.

[Jyra]

Never bought a shark card but I did buy 4 copies of the game. When PC comes out it'll be 5.

[helresa]

I got one at valentines day, as I had a bit in my MS account and I wanted the Roosevelt, other than that the other stuff I waited until I had enough to buy it.

 

If there was another limited time item I wanted I would buy another. I have no issue with them, I wouldn't like to pay real money for say each gun, car etc.

Never bought a shark card but I did buy 4 copies of the game. When PC comes out it'll be 5.

 

I've got 4 copies too

1 for Me

1 to replace the one I scratched the disk when 360 got moved with disk in (2nd hand)

1 for my other half and a 360 to go with it....

1 for me on the PS4 (with the console, managed to knock 12% off the store price as they had it listed lower on the web)

[DentureDynamite]

To be fair, R* should also provide PC users with the ability of buying PC Shark cards, since every existing platform can currently buy them (and why not? it means more sales for them). I've filed a support request on this (and a way to discern how much GTA money is earned vs. bought, since Shark card cash won't transfer to a different platform from the one it was purchased on, unless it's in the same "family" Xbox -> Xbox, PS -> PS).

 

I've been told by a R* support person they've elevated this to a higher priority. Time will tell...

 

Why? This existing restriction is completely absurd, considering once you buy a card, everyone (i.e. M$, Sony, or R*) already has your *real* money anyway, and you can only transfer your character once. Sony shouldn't mind the fact that I bought a PS3 and copy of GTA5 just to build my character before I switch to PC. I could have just waited and not bought any of it.

 

If R* truly tracks where cash comes from (which we know they do since they track cash from haxors, etc.) they should easily be able to determine and inform us how much is earned and how much is Shark card. So for someone transferring a horde of cash from PS3 to PC (like me), or XBox 360 to PS4, they could turn their Shark card cash into cars or apartments, etc. and get their *real* money's worth out of it since those items are carried over with your character. The earned cash would just transfer as-is.

lolnope

[swooshboy]

I bought one in order to buy the buzzard, but since then I haven't needed to.

 

I used to grind some missions, but now I just play missions and races with mates. Probably make about $100k for a couple of hours online - but thats not grinding, just playing whichever missions come up.

 

I have about a million right now, and there isn't anything I'm looking to buy really. Might get the Dodo, but have 2 apartments and all the modded cars I want, along with the planes I like (Vestra and Besra). Will probably keep the cash for when the next update launches - there's always a couple of things I want to buy.

 

I don't have any objections to buying cash cards - like someone else said I much prefer this method, than pricing each individual component, as in TLoU.

[Furry_Monkey]

I did buy one a long, long time ago, before the billionaire days. I think this image will adequately convey how much it was for...

I thought I was bad buying three copies of the PS3 game (two standard edition) and one collectors edition.

[iKonrad]

I bought 1 million card on PS3 just to purchase a Tank, but then I've seen everyone spawning billions, so... never again.

[deadx23]

I've bought 2 $5 cards for apt. And vacca back in ps3 time,ps4 gtav bundle I got a free $10 psn card I got a shark card
