Reminds me of the old "OJ" modes in MultiTheftAuto, where everyone was confined to various police vehicles except "OJ" in a Bronco/Rancher. I wonder if it would be possible to recreate properly in GTA:O...

Shark cards are cool and good because they bring out judgmental weirds. Game is both grindy and fun, I would have probably bought one if I wasn't gifted money.

I'm going to hug the mumble crew because you guys coming out of the woodwork to support shark cards still don't get it.

Nothing we do for fun requires more than a level 0 character with like, what is it to join a game? 500$?












But you do you.
You don't have to feel threatened, just don't be butts to people that like to spend money to support a game you play.

I don't want to know how much money I wasted upgrading a 20 car garage one upgrade at a time as they all became available. Plan your money spending wisely! :argh:

Or just buy shark cards.

Hmm it looks like Grand Theft Auto has released a digital item. They made it super expensive and the only way I can get this item is to actually play the game for a really long time! Well I don't want to play the game, I just want to have a completed digital collection of pointless poo poo that I will never actually use, just look at. I know, I think I will reward Rockstar with $100 to get digital content for a game I don't even like to play! Once I get these digital goods, my enjoyment of the game can finally start! I have made a wise investment.
People spending money on something that I, literally the smartest, would never spend money on? Better shitpost.

Come on man, you're just being dumb and rude at this point because people are spending money on something that doesn't interest you at all and doesn't affect you. You're not any more of a gta fan #1 because you spent a lot of hours earning money instead of buying it instantly.

No one said that until Zigmidge did, though.

Someone says: Hey I get it, here is why people might buy shark cards
You and others: LOL enjoy your digital 1s and 0s on a game you don't even like
*dumb argument follows*

No one ever said you should buy a shark card to have more fun with goons, and its a real dick move to poo poo on people for spending money on a game they enjoy.

I fire up the game just to drive around sometimes. I like to play car dress up and totally kit my cars out. I'm level 155 or so and I have less than 1.5 million in the bank because I buy/mod/sell different cars so often. Thats not even enough money to buy the most expensive super cars. Why wouldn't you want me to have the ability to spend some real cash so that I can play digital hot wheels easier?

edit: I didnt buy a shark card, and don't plan to. Would never try to make someone feel lovely for buying one though. :shrug:

That makes a lot more sense than "if you spend money on this game you don't like playing it", thanks. :)

Other games get slammed for being pay to win. Spending money on better items that you can't get by playing the game.

The idea behind this is, the gameplay is more or less identical whether you buy shark cards or not. The same missions you do to grind money are the same missions you play once you're digital rich. Therefore I have to conclude that you only spent money because it seemed like a more reasonable choice than just playing the game. Why would someone spend money on a game they didn't like to play? I have to assume its because they thought the game would finally reach that ideal level of fun that they are striving for, if only they bought a shark card.
Thats not true at all. I enjoy regular races, gimmick races, hunting pack, survival, and the missions but they don't pay a whole lot, nothing like heists. I gave you an example already with the cars I buy.

My first purchase was a banshee 900r, a good car.

I wish there was some sort of decent bonus for keeping a 5-6 star wanted level for a long time. I backed myself into an underground garage with one entrance, and had a good time just staying back and letting the cops come to me. A makeshift survival mode, I guess.

Is this sort of thing possible solo or with pubbies? I seem to never be on at the same time as most goons. It's why I never bothered grinding heists.
Cant do them solo, the first heist requires 2 people and the rest require 4. Winning with pubbies is certainly possible, but I would avoid playing with low ranking people.

I would love to do criminal mastermind, but I don't trust myself 100% not to die at the bank heist on-foot getaway. I've done it dozens of times but I would be embarrassed as hell if I ruined things for 3 other people because putting on armor is so cumbersome.

I wish the first person heist bonus wasn't so piddly, 100k is nothing. It sounds really fun to do though so thats why its not worth anything.
