Let me simplify this since apparently people can't read too well. Money is used in free roam. They fixed the GTA 4 problem of people rampaging as you can now set yourself immune to damage. You use this to buy money for free roam. I imagine it will also help with heists as well, which are not competitive.
Competitive modes have set weapons and vehicles, therefore this money does nothing. This "P2W" as you people call it is literally just for the lazy people that want nice houses and suits off the start. That's it! Sure, they will look better than you, but they can't harm you if you don't want them to. So stop your bitching because this is so far from actual P2W.
@MooncalfReviews Did you not see his point? Everyone starts the same in the competitive modes. Free roam is not competitive. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
@SgTFuzzy-18 1. I'm not against the targeted lazy crowd as its their money to waste.
2. I will not use the system because I'm not a lazy **** and don't want to ruin the experience.
3. How exactly would you know whether or not I am a PC gamer? You want to find a game with real microtransactions? Take a look at APB Reloaded. Play that for a few hours and you will understand. Half the guns in that game are IRL money only. TF2 is another great example of a ton of P2W weapons. If you still aren't pleased, take a look at anything owned by gamersfirst, Combat Arms, War Thunder, Planetside 2, Blacklight Retribution, Alliance of Valiant Arms, and really any F2P on the market. Satisfied?
@SgTFuzzy-18 @pdevil21 Or its the pessimists like you that give them the ideas. This will be like BF3. You can pay for all the stuff you were too lazy to grind for. In this case, its money as that is really the only thing to worry about in this game.
As a PC player that has dealt with actual microtransactions, this doesn't bother me one bit.
