would you stop sp,if rockstar add smicro transactions sp?

[aqarwaen]

lets say if rockstar adds any currency into sp,what you can buy only using micro transactions.

after you have bought this currency,you can buy for example.

 

houses,guns,clothes etc.would you still play sp,if it would it would happen.also currency would reset every time,if you reset story

Îf they would not offer some sort of "content" for it, when I would be done with R*, like at all.

Lets hope that never happens...

[aqarwaen]

I hope to fu*k they don't add Micro-Transactions to SP.

[Algonquin Assassin]

Hell f*cking no.

[Xing of Virtue]

If it earns me a new narrative, then sure. Whatever it takes.

[Majewski79]

If I were still bothering with it, no. But it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they started doing it.

[Mr. Scratch]

Why would they? It's not like there's any new content for you to buy.

[Xiled]

Impossible because people mod there single player games anyway. Who could buy a shark card if rockstar banned everyone for modding, glitching, and exploiting it like they do for gta online.

The problem with microtransactions in a premium game (by that I mean a game you have to buy outright at full retail price or whatever its on sale for) is that adding microtransactions into the game is essentially double-dipping. Companies get away with it by offering DLC, but that's a little different, because DLC is add-on content that is hopefully produced later. I say hopefully, because I think we all have a problem with "Disc Locked Content."

 

Anyway, Freemium game devs can ostensibly get away with microtransactions in the game because they don't charge you to play the game. Its "free to download" and in most cases, like Spider-Man Unlimited, Subway Surfers, various Temple Run games, and many others, you don't need the IAP/microtransactions to get good and to compete.

 

My feeling about adding microtransactions to the SP part of a game like GTA, where you are paying full price, is that if they are going to do it then they need to fundamentally change the entire paradigm. Meaning in the case of most IAP/microtransactions, the actual content is absurdly overpriced and you can easily spend a hundred bucks (USD) and get almost nothing for your money. If they are going to add microtransactions to premium (not freemium!) SP components of games, then they have to make the packages MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more attractive than the online IAP counterparts.

 

For instance, since there is no online leaderboard for single player, maybe they could add convenience-IAP to the game, particularly for people who have played the game several times before.

 

I could get on board, for instance, and using GTA V as an example, if they offered the following microtransactions: (DIsclaimer: NONE of these I am suggesting will ever happen, but this would be IAP I would like to see)

 

-Startup Funds - Pay $1.99 USD and all three of your SP characters (Franklin, Trevor, and Michael) start out with ten million dollars in their bank account at the beginning of any future saves.

 

-Cell phone notoriety wipe with cool-down period - Pay .99 cents and you can use your cell phone to call and bribe the police commissioner, which costs you $1,000.00 in game funds. This would require a 5 hours in game (ten minute) cool-down period to use again.

 

-Homeys deliver you ANY vehicle you own (similar to Saints Row games). This could also cost .99 cents and be available forever in your game once purchased.

 

-Add 200 police bribes into the game spread out over the map, with an accompanying downloadable map as a .pdf or .gif file. This could cost, say $4.99 USD. But each bribe would reduce your wanted level by ONE star and when eating a bribe, it, too, would have a cool-down period similar to San Andreas or VC.

 

-More garages to store cars so you can actually have a car collection for each character instead of being limited to 6. A 12 car garage given to each of your three characters could cost, say $1.99

 

-Forever discount of 50% off of anything you order online (cars, bicycles, motorcycles, boats, planes, etc.). This could cost .99 cents

 

-"Wall Street Entrepreneur Package" that basically beefs up payouts for stock investments and increases your chances of making money on stocks. Or, better yet, with this package, costing say .99 cents, you get a broker who every in game day or two phones you with a stock tip and you can then call him back, bringing up a menu, giving you the ability to click on how much you want to invest with your broker. So for these "trades" you could bypass the Internet stock market entirely and let your high end, elite, Wall Street broker handle it.

 

-DLC that adds huge upgrades to both your health and armor. This would preferably be something you can toggle on and off so as not to break the main missions! I say this because the missions in this game are very well crafted to be enjoyably challenging. I would personally find it boring if I purchased this upgrade and went into a mission with 5 times the resiliency of both my health and armor, but that would obviously be up to the individual. What I would mostly use this for, in conjunction with the police bribes I suggested, would be to create my own homemade rampages through the street! I would toggle it off during missions because then the game would be ridiculously easy for me and no fun at all. This could cost, say $1.99.

 

-Adding Nitrous to Los Santos Custom's vehicle menu - .50 cents

 

-Ripping off Just Cause 2 here: Adding thrusters to your parachutes lol .50 cents and always have this available in the Ammunations parachute menu.

 

-Military Vehicles Pack - Adds a Tank, Attack Chopper, P-988 Laser (Fighter Jet), Barracks OL. and all other military vehicles to the appropriate garages, helipads, docks, and hangars of all three playable characters. This could be $1.99.

 

-Police and Military uniforms added to all three characters's wardrobes to allow free access to Zancudo Military base. .99 cents

 

All totaled up that would be $18.90 for everything. Maybe they could offer you a $15.00 price if you buy all of those packs at in one package

 

 

Again, I can promise you that nothing like this will EVER be released. All I can tell you is that I would buy all of that if it were!

As much as it would piss me off that R* would try to exploit us SP players with shark cards like those naive kiddies online, atleast it would would leave them with absolutely NO excuse not to give us more content for SP (not that they really had an excuse to begin with.) In the long run it could even mean full fledged SP DLC free of charge. Although I wouldn't fall victim to the cash grab myself I'm voting YES, I wouldn't stop playing and infact it could even save SP. Let's face it I'm probably not the one who didn't bother investing in stocks, my characters only have around 15 mil which isn't too much, but still I can afford everything throughout multiple saves, I would't bother buying shark cards myself but I'm sure many in my position would.

Online players aren't "exploited" through Shark Cards, they get free quality content every month, and can either work for their money or just buy their money with a Shark Card, or just not buy money and new content and still keep playing the game.

 

Also R* doesn't need "an excuse" to not offer SP any content, its their game, they can decide what they are going to do about it, they didn't ANNOUNCE any SP DLC(and no a short passage under a Newswire post is no announcement), the consumer got for what he/she paid for, nothing less, nothing more.

[Official General]

At this stage, if it meant SP getting all the great features and content from previous GTAs, and the necessary improvements then yeah I'd pay for it via shark cards.

[kvic]

I can't see buying them online or off everything in the game is there you just have to WORK for it.

[rjmthe2nd]

lol, SP died in GTA V a long time ago....
