When I DLC comes out  

121 members have voted

  1. 1. How soon do you buy the items?

    • As soon as it comes out
    • Wait for reviews
    • It depends on the item(s)

As the title says, how soon do you start purchasing the items? I personally wait a few hours and read what people are saying on the forum before deciding. I don't want to get stuck with a vehicle or an item that I can't get refunded. For example, I didn't bother getting the caddy for the bunker since I knew I can drive my motorcycle around instead.

I wait for reviews on things I'm undecided on, but things I want, e.g. the Rustler, Hunter and that new stunt plane, will be an instant purchase.

As soon as I have enough money = never because the best you can earn in this game is dime per hour and that's before the taxes.

I usually have everything bought within the first 10-20 minutes of logging on.

 

Expect for research items of course...

I will get the Hunter as soon as possible. Other stuff I will also get quickly, but not before I've customized my Hunter and added armour and countermeasures to it.

If I'm passionate about something I buy it right away. Otherwise I will wait until reviews come in.

Poll should have some more choices. I've bought something straight away and waited for reviews on other things. Ended up changing location on bunker and coke business so I think I will wait and see some reviews on Tuesday

I always buy anything right away because i've enough to last a lifetime. Then i try out everything, stop playing GTA again for a couple of weeks/month until next update. Do the account thingy for another 2 weeks of PS+ and repeat the whole thing again. Can't play GTA:O for long before getting bored. Not by the content, but because its just so damn over the top arcadey and pvp based. I still like playing contact missions most while driving in my Ruiner 'based on my IRL car' Or the Entity, because i love Koenigseggs. And both of them have decent damage deformation when no armor is installed.

Seeing as we live in an instant gratification society, I buy everything I want immediately upon logging on, reviews be damned. If it sucks, I won't use it again and it takes up garage space.

I've been waiting for reviews overall. I jumped the gun on GR because I wanted the Weaponized Tampa and regretted getting it, so I'm going back to waiting things out a little for SR.

wait for mods to update and then test everything on SP myself to see how I feel about them first

Some reviews, others I would get instantly IF they had no trade price. No regrets paying 3 million for the Hydra when it came out. I greatly look forward to Tuesday...

I buy the property or whatever is essential to do the missions.

 

 

Everything else I pretty much don't buy.

 

Edit: Unless we rewind to a time when Muscle cars were actually released, I buy all muscle and hot rods inmediately.

Need a "something in between " option.

 

Some things I buy immediately (mostly clothing-related). When it comes to big-ticket overhead items (offices, warehouses, bunkers, clubhouses) I consider locations and prices and (if applicable) reviews from others before purchasing.

 

Sometimes there are certain vehicles that I want, no matter how "not-awesome" they turn out to be. The Halftrack and Valkyrie were some recent examples of that, but I wanted one for looks and kicks, even it it was going to be a paperweight. The upcoming DLC has a few aircraft I'm already putting on my SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY list. The Hunter is not one of them, but I may eventually buy one if the reviews are stellar and the price is right.

 

For dual-priced items (Special Vehicles and Armed Vehicles), I always unlock the lower price before buying.

Depends - for the most part, I ...just don't buy anything these days. Don't want to be stuck with a bunker/office/whatever nonsense I can't sell or ditch later on, so I simply don't bother. And since that applies to maybe 90% of the stuff added for over a year, now, I've been sitting on the same $7 million for a looong time...

On the other hand, on the rare occasions R* puts out something I like? Insta-buy. I love how the Elegy Retro drives, but even if it handled like a shopping trolley full of angry cats, I'd still have bought it without hesitation, simply because it looks absolutely spot-on.

Why doesn't this surprise me? :p

I'll wait for the reviews and sometimes it depends. Mostly, I refuse to buy it asap. I've made my mistakes doing that. Now I sometimes hold or grow my GTA$ further until a sale goes on.

 

Now if it's a car that I favor in real life that comes into the game like a 488 GTB, a McLaren 570S or a Porsche Cayman for example, I would give in easily.

I often never purchase any of the items. I only buy what I want or what I can afford; there's so much that doesn't even appeal to me, so I don't bother wasting my money.

 

When it comes to cars, it highly depends on the type of car. New super car? I can wait. New sports classic or muscle car? I'll likely buy it right away!

Buy everything new.

Regret.

Sell.

Regret.

Rinse and repeat.

I used to rush in but now I wait a few hours and see what others are saying about potential purchases.

It depends. I may in this instance but I'm keen on the Hunter, Rustler and the Escort.
