In fact, Grand Theft Auto Online just had its best quarter yet. Take-Two noted today in its earnings report for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 that Grand Theft Auto Online exceeded net sales expectations and was the single largest contributor to recurrent consumer spending. GTA Online is an open world multiplayer game where you can earn digital cash through playing, which you can then use to buy things likes clothes and cars. But you can also spend real money to pad your virtual wallet. Grand Theft Auto Online helped to drive Take-Two’s net sales for the quarter to $348.3 million, up 28 percent. A whopping 94 percent of that, $326.2 million, came from back catalog games, mostly Grand Theft Auto V and NBA 2K17.

D-Lo_BrownTown 08/02/17 8:07:18 PM #10:	What kills me is when people defend it. They usually say it's how everything stays "free" (it isn't) and that it would split the player base if they did it any other way (Payday 2 proves that's not true at all) Quite honestly, I would rather pay for DLC expansions than go with the microtransaction nonsense. As is you have to pay around 50 bucks or grind the most boring shit forever just to get access to the basics. --- http://i.imgur.com/DKL8I5X.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/3XrMwRd.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/DJ9SEeJ.jpg <cite>D-Lo_BrownTown posted [p:884076783] in Grand Thef...

Gamer99z 08/02/17 8:19:25 PM #14:	Kid_Buu posted... .... how? The cost of new stuff in game has inflated insanely since it came out but payouts for stuff haven't really gone up. And they've recently even gotten to a point where if you want to but [expensive thing] you also need to buy [expensive thing] first so you can't even split things between friends the same as you could before anyone. And spending $20 only gets you 1.25m iirc which is nothing in GTA now, at launch it was enough to get the best car in the game and have some money to spare, now it's not even half of the cost of the fastest car and it's a fraction of the cost of other cool stuff like the Knight Rider car. If you actually want to buy all if it and not spend literally hundreds of hours grinding, you pretty much don't have an option but to drop the $80 or whatever on the 8.5m shark card and there's tons of impulsive kid who wants everything right then, and older people who don't have the time to grind for that long and just like playing for an hour or two with some friends after a long busy day. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus <cite>Gamer99z posted [p:884077430] in Grand Thef...

It's not just them, but yeah everything they've done since then has sucked ass. Every mission is basically go across map, pick up thing, go back across map. The system I was taught is basically this. 1. Buy supplies for Bunker 2. Buy supplies for coke warehouse (or whatever most expensive warehouse you have) 3. Do Headhunter 3. Steal Car for warehouse (beforehand fill warehouse with low and mid range cars so you ONLY get high end cars) 4. Sell car 5. During 20 minute cooldown, do headhunter and steal another car. Do this until you reach 600k 6. Sell weapons 7. Sell drugs Then you come out with a little over 1,000,000. 700k of which is profit. The problem is that it is the most boring shit ever and high risk if you don't lag yourself into a solo public session. --- http://i.imgur.com/DKL8I5X.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/3XrMwRd.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/DJ9SEeJ.jpg <cite>D-Lo_BrownTown posted [p:884080465] in Grand Thef...
