The Problem With Money in GTA Games

- Money has been one of the main hud elements since the very first entry in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. But in most games, it seems to just be an arbitrary number you can increase, and not very relevant after playing for a short while. Not every GTA is in the same situation, so today we're gonna talk about all the ways money is used in various games, and try to figure out what the next GTA game should rethink in this area.

Maybe, but in GTA Online you really need money for everything
Not if you have everything that the game offers
Right and it takes WAY too long to make that money
But even in GTA Online there’s a really limited pool of stuff you can buy in comparison to real life.
If you grind a lot or use money glitches you’ll get to a point where there’s nothing left to buy and suddenly playing the game to get more seems pointless.
Its kinda funny how in GTA V story mode money is pretty much near useless whilst in GTA Online money is the most important thing in the game
@@SomeLad12 Yeah but that happens on every single game in existence
You're not wrong, we only use it when the game asks us to. Either than that, we spend it on Armor & Ammo.
And to achieve it you just "play GTA" a bit. It's like a tax on breathing but backwards.
By the way, In GTA IV Niko ONLY came to Liberty City for revenge because the person who betrayed him during the war resided in LC. He was only disappointed by the "American Dream" but that was not his main goal.
He was also running from Bulgarin as well, so it's kinda a trifecta of revenge, fleeing, and Roman's 'money.'
The Gospel is 1 Cor 15; 1-4.
God bless you all, in Jesus' name. Amen.
I hated that the last mission makes you "choose" between making a lot of money (when by that point you probably have more than 500k..) or stay true to your convictions, and the obvious option give you the worst result.
Even gta online money feels worthless when people can just mod billions of dollars outta nowhere
Can you blame em tho? With how rockstar is nerfing cayo (by far was the best grinding method)
@@LucyWoIfRockstar is beyond greedy.
Well it is worthless. You can't have a balanced game when players who don't pay have to do hours and hours more work
@@etdabeast13 but rockstar is making it even more and more hours...
Nerfing cayo which makes grinding money even harder, casino heist missions feel like they appear in paleto bay so much more often, to me theyre desperately making grinding pain so you buy sharkcards (or just mod it cause sharkcards suck)
@@LucyWoIf true
i like how san andreas handled the money. if you don't care that much about money, you can still continue with the story. however, if you want to complete the game 100%, then you'll need tons of money. so basically, san andreas gives us two totally different options regarding the importance of money in the game world
It’s literally south central u either gang banging gettin swole or tryna make money 😂
I think the Scarface video game actually had a good balance of earning cash and also spending it. Largely because you could actually customize your mansion and your businesses.
20 fucking years you were in the can
@@BayAreaMike99 that’s right coc$ucker! Go back to Jersey!
That game was so good 😭
I remember being so disappointed that the stock market in GTA V wasn't actually usable. The only major changes in stock value are tied to the missions, its almost useless outside of that
GTA never really left its arcade roots from the top down games, hence money didn't transition fully from being a 'high score' to essential currency and resource in the game (as the in-game economy is not fully designed for this - there would need to be higher, more varied & realistic expenses).
San Andreas did make you need to use some for just living. As you needed to eat. I do think it would have been intresting if they would also require you to full up your cars and what not. maybe ad a health insurance plan or even a few. taxes. maintenance fees and what not but that might be a bit much from a game.
It's because chasing after money makes sense as motivation for the characters story-wise, but having to work a 9 to 5 for several months of in-game time to buy a single rocket for the rocket launcher wouldn't make for a very fun gaming experience. It's like that time when some guy started arguing with me in the comments when I said that Interstellar was a movie about advanced astrophysics. Yes, he was right that it wasn't accurate physics-wise, but on the other hand, all the main characters getting shredded in act 1 wouldn't make for an enjoyable movie...
Money isn't the problem in GTA 5 specifically the online game. You have plenty of things to spend it on. The problem is the economy is hyper inflated. Everything cost so damn much you need millions in your bank account just to purchase cars, guns, properties, and clothing items. This is the reason getting money is not difficult. Rockstar had to make it easy to earn money so that players didn't have to wait several months before they have enough to buy stuff. I think the economy in GTA 6 will be less inflated and money will be more difficult (slower) to earn. That way items can be priced reasonably. There won't be daily sunken treasure chests and other easily obtained money caches. You'll have to rob convenience stores and banks or work a job. There will be less heists if any. Basically, it will be the way GTA Online was in 2013. The mistake Rockstar made was adding too many businesses/heists to the game.
I agree with your point and I would like to add that most of the lucrative jobs in GTA ONLINE are no longer needed to be done ONLINE, causing for GTA V Online to become a Crime Boss Simulator instead of GTAV ONLINE. We should make money with friends or other players, not alone.
well, correct words. But the approaches in GTA6 should offer more than just business and procurement missions.
There also needs to be a lot more creative freedom, such as designing clothes and tuning as well as redecorating interior spaces and buildings.
if it were up to me, new clothes in a variety of colors and colorways would have to come into a GTA6O at least every month, as well as what feels like 100 new tattoos that you can place freely on your body, change their size and paint over certain areas in order to realize your art for yourself .
When tuning a vehicle, new colors or the same color palette are just as common as in Forza. Multiple layers of color, not just 2 areas of secondary and primary color. more like 30 variations. SR series has presented this well before.
I doubt it. Considering the popularity of GTA Online, I don’t think GTA 6’s online is going to be that different. I know people always complain about online, but it’s Rockstar’s most successful thing they’ve ever made. They’re not going to make such big changes. And also, not having heists sounds kind of boring and I think Rockstar thinks the same way.
@@greenwizard7592 I think Red Dead Online was a testing ground for the next version of GTA Online. It is not easy making money in RDO. You really have to bust your ass and even then the amounts you are able to generate are nothing worth writing home about. In GTA Online you can make $1 million in 45 mins to an hour. Rockstar is likely going to nerf heist payout amounts in GTA 6 Online.
Bruh if I have to work a regular job in GTA 6 to make money to continue with the story line that game is going straight into the bin.
GTA Online is the only one that money isn't useless, but it is a pain in the ass to get.
Gta 3 handled it the worst because most missions pay alot of money with little to spend it on aside from pay n spray and buying guns,
Vice city fixed it by adding properties for sale but still didn't do enough to put stuff like buying clothes or putting upgrades to certain businesses,
San andreas improved on it by letting us buy clothes and even more properties but it kinda broke the way money is handled, you can simply make billions by going to any betting shops and get filthy rich,
Gta lcs went down the same gta 3 route i wish we had business properties that way we can see how the leones handle businesses but because it was rockstar's first take on the psp it's kinda forgivable,
Gta vcs fixed the issue that lcs had and combined both vc and san andreas elements like the business empires,
Gta chinatown wars made a perfect balance of handling money i hope gta 6 gets the same treatment,
I love gta 4 as much as the next guy but money just didn't matter in it since in one of the endings the game spoon feeds you that you messed up letting roman die and got rich with nothing to spend it on apart from clothes and guns,
Gta 5 kinda fixed gta 4's money issue but didn't improve on it, sure you can buy properties, clothes, cars/customization but after completing the story there's no incentive to grind since you're already rich,
For gta 6 i hope it improves on handling money and maybe add safe house customization like saints row
Sorry for the long comment 😅
Yeah GTA Chinatown wars utilized money well I also enjoyed the drug dealing aspect of that game
Great comment
only the few who have played them all can understand the scope. thank you for your service 🫡 (I’m just missing Chinatown Wars 😬)
Considering how money was handled in red dead 2 I feel like we might be in good hands
I hope they make money mean something in the game CZ who is gonna pay $1million for dat Honda civic look a** car in d game
I've finished gta5 with 1 billion $ on each character and guess what ? I have stopped to play, it's booooring after complete all main missions, so money is at this point useless. In gta4 Nico has so few expenses : not much clothes to buy, not much weapons and no properties, except the repeatedly appointments with Roman and bowling so money for Nico isn't the goal to reach
I personally enjoy the empire building aspects of GTA online. I often spend a few hours a day just going around maintaining all of my businesses in private mode and watching my money grow and the dopamine hit I get from investing some of that hard wanted money into upgrades for the businesses and watching that money get returned back to me even faster is honestly great. The game has a million issues and the economy is broken and the amount of time it takes me to even grind that money together to make those investments is pretty abused but I can't lie I do enjoy it alot. A few months ago I started a whole new online career and started with just the acid business, I grinded and upgraded it to full warning potential and used the profits to open an auto shop , then a MC garage , than a scrapyard, after a while it started to feel like my character actually had a specific specialty in as a career criminal. It basically felt like my guy was a mechanic who had various illegal income streams flowing through those businesses and the fact that I started out as an acid dealer just makes it that much better lol. I didn't buy any shark cards either. I just took my time, didn't buy anything that wasn't a business investment and within 2 months or so of gameplay I now have over 30 million and like 6 different businesses that make me constant passive income.
The reason it took me years to even get nearly this far in my original character is because I never read any sense of direction I just purchased all the new properties when they came out without knowing if i actually liked them. New content is new content after all and who doesn't wanna rush to the next batch of content ? But now with complete hind sight and knowledge of what each business consists of, I am totally glad I restarted my online even if I did leave 10 years of progress and a level 490 character behind....
This is the one of the biggest problems i have with these types of games there is know real incentive to make money other than just playing to see the story unfold ive played every gta, saint's row, mafia and all of those games and in single player ive literally bought EVERYTHING the games have for you to buy it's like the freedom you have actually limits you
More generally, EVERY open world games fail with the economy imo. (Except FarCry games imo)
Games are generally wayyy to gentle with how you earn money, that's the problem, even Saints Row 2, this game is featuring a lot of customization (more than any GTA games released to this day) and despite that it was still pretty easy to earn money, making the game felt a bit too easy, starting from a dirty underground place, to strippers poles and beautiful mansions, a tons of clothes and customized vehicles in less than ~2 hours if you play at a normal rate.
Ironically the scarface game done it really well
But far cry doesn't have that much buyable stuff.
love these videos, keep it up!
you can break san andreas before the first mission by doing side missions like the paramedic or firetruck minigames to get money for a safehouse, then just savescum on digital horseraces betting all your money on the lowest odds horse. rinse and repeat until you have more money than the hud can display.
Don't need to. Just wait until u unlock casino, put it all on red or black. Save, rinse and repeat.
Yeah but that’s exploiting the game, most people aren’t gonna do that
@@DirtyDev You are wrong at that
Just use cheatcodes at that point
@@tmkay_ nah. one is still cheats while the other isnt. you can permanently bulletproof your tires in a police vehicle by toggling the vigilante mission on and off; is that equivalent to a cheat code, too? how about farming villager trades in minecraft? is that equivalent to just spawning emeralds and items? what if i repeatedly injured and healed a friend in arma 2 dayz until i got the hero skin so i could get into the hero base? same as using cheat software? bhopping in source games?
if its in the game accessible without cheats and its not a major glitch i dont see the problem.
San Andreas spoiled me with HESOYAM
Fr brooo. After I've tried to play without cheat is soo frustrating. You need so much money for gang wars
For me? Having SIDEKICKS was useless for me during some missions, they weren’t very bright neither efficacious, they were more of a liability as I could always just complete missions on my own, having back up was a joke and a pain in the ass when you needed to keep one of these dummies alive or fail the mission
I always mod my gta games to have real life elements and reasons to spend money
How so?
If you want "real life elements",just live a real life. Lol
@@careful__IcarusI don’t have money in real life
@@careful__Icarus Some of us want real life elements with the ability to kill
Anyone has the ability to kill. What most don't have is the opportunity or inclination.
One of the best ways to use money in GTA would be to take a page out of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Offer rooms to rent to be able to save your game when not close enough to your safe house.
Have some kind of "collection pot" that's linked to some kind of progression in the main story.
This a very good video. Good job brother
I was thinking about this a few days ago and I really do like GTA games, at least the main ones which almost everybody played. I liked every single one because I played it to the fullest - everything the game has to offer. That's why I have 100% completion in all of them, except GTA 4 which I'm currently playing. But for others I have completed, I did every story mission, side missions/jobs, activities and even miscellaneous stuff like collectibles. And after you do all of that unlike doing only story like most people, you truly feel like a great driver, gunman and hacker.
Vice city is a great example of why you need money, you complete some missions and with that earned money you can buy things like movie set, ice cream factory, club, apartments,... and they all have their uses, you get more side missions by buying them and apartments are used to save your game, the more you have means it'll be easier and faster to drive to it and save your progress or you can lose a few minutes and drive to your first ever apartment (unlocked after the first mission) every single time.
Money is the reason why I still play GTA V Online, it's updated every 6 months and we get new garages, new cars, clothing items or new business with new missions. Sure, the game is old and tryhards are everywhere but you can still have fun with your friends or people you meet in game.
I'm sorry if I made any grammar mistakes or misspelled any word.
In GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA SA (without gambling), money is used to sustain the game loop of arming up, dying, and arming up again. This is especially true in the 3D universe, where even dying in a mission forces you to lose all your weapons.
The only elements that really ruin this balance is gambling, and the abuse of the vigilante missions where the payout increases exponentially.
GTA really has the balls to charge 1.2 million dollars for an 80’s hatchback
That’s not balls but audacity
If you give them courage of course. Don't get surprised at things you caused.
"We need more MONEY, Arthur!"
Ope sorry, wrong game.
It’s funny, I was just thinking about this topic.
I was playing thru gta 4 and wishing there was more things to buy at the end of the game.
You know what does money right? Red dead redemption
Was looking for this comment. Idk why this game was skipped
Because it's not a GTA game, it might be in the same universe but the story isn't placed in modern times like GTA games and RDR as well as RDR2 isn't made to make you feel like a millionaire but rather like an outlaw trying to survive modernization and fighting it. It's made to tell you good or for some even great fictional story. So if you haven't played it, I highly recommend it.
Also far cry
@@alkhoaja Uh not really. Far cry doesn't buyable houses or cars.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 same as red dead redemption
Maybe but modding cars in gta sa is epic
Whenever I would play GTA IV, San Andreas, or Vice City, I would always just memorize the spawn locations of my most used weapons. I always would top up the best weapons when passing through an area. I would always find myself decked out with the best weapons before the ability to shop at Ammunation was available, let alone before they would sell anything good to the player. I never spent any money at Ammunation.
I been grindin gta online bout 6 months got all the buisnesses most of the weaponized vehicles i want n a few supercars n $60 mill saved now im bored asl n its a chore to even log on
GTA lost a lot of lustre for me when money cheats were eliminated. And in 5 everything became insanely expensive. I spend enough frikken time in my life making money to have to do it in my leisure time in a frikken game.
I agree. In RDR2 I bought everything in the game as Arthur and still had about $800 and at that point it felt useless to do things for money. It would be great to be able to buy property in the next RD game.
The broke phase of any open world game is my favorite. To me that is where the sense of progression comes in. Stalker Anomaly does this pretty well. Though you still get to a point where money just means nothing but at least you get hours of game play before that.
I would like to mention the rdr1 economy. So in normal it has basicaly the same problems as gta games, but in hardcore it's better everything is more expensive but still at a reasonable price (except the war horse) and also it's harder to earn money.
I feel like this problem is even worse in Red Dead 2, since there are no properties to buy, and during the main story you have very little reason to buy the camp upgrades (and even if you do, they're really cheap). And there are so many ways to get rich right in the second chapter. You can visit like 3 different locations and get 1500 dollars by finding gold bars. So youll play the whole game with like 5k dollars and literally nothing to spend THIS much money on.
Thats why i love rdr2. It turns all that on its head and shows us its not about the money its about the friends we made along the way
Vice City made the best use of money because its actually required for progress and finish the game, it made you save every dollar you get on mission for expend it in another local which unlock new missions to play
GTA SA had lots of things to spend money on. I remember in my first run having the best luck at the casino.
its because money translates directly to the states of the charecter in the game. for example in mafia 2, money comes and goes so frequantly that the players dosen't pay attention to it sometimes. and because of the way the game is designed, there isn't much to do with the money at all. but you can compare the difference between when you are rich with tons of money, and when you lose all that you have. in gta, freemode has tons of activites. the problem is the charecter wouldn't have any motive to spend on whatever the player wants it to. that's why by logic, freemode access is always limited. and earning money is expected in the story to make sense.
My hard earned money always goes to health care
It would be awesome if GTA 6 could mix their game with something like the Sims. You can buy a furniture, learn new skills, make a party at your home, or maybe paid the bills such as electricity, apartment, gas, and so on.
Pay the bills? Of course. While we are at that why don't you add hunger bar, taxes, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, going to work, washing your clothes, doing housework. Sounds cool? Hm?
Oh oh I get it: have the ability to marry. And look after your family.
Follow the laws, be law abiding citizen and so ON AND SO ON.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 I hope my GTA 6 character has GERD just like me.
Honestly, I’m glad they delayed the launch of gta vi. They saw it wouldn’t be ready for their initial deadline, and delayed it so they would have a more polished product.
There are ways to get virtually infinite money in most of those games. San Andreas has a save spot 20 meters away from a Blackjack table with a $1,000,000 limit. GTAV has several assassination missions that let you more than double your money by manipulating stocks, that you can leave for after the main story line, and if you use the money from the big heist as seed money, you can usually make around $1,000,000,000 from it. GTA Online actually did have an economy at some point, since it had multiple ways of making money, and they kept adding more stuff to buy that your average player could afford, but the last time I played, the Cayo Perico heist made pretty much all other forms or money making obsolete.
Easiest way would be a difficult setting that 0.25x/0.5x/1x the money depending on how easy you want it ig
Video suggestion : what is best thing in each gta game
I've been meaning to make one for some time, hopefully it will be out soon.
@@H0rHethanks appreciate your work ❤
In online the problem with money is thst rockstar wants you to buy it with shark cards, so they even nerf hrinding methods in a desperate attempt to get ppl to buy shark cards but it just results in more ppl modding and abusing glitches which ends up making money even less worth it
About GTA Online. At first, money is gold. But after you play for a good chunk of time (especially if you're good at speed heisting and cathing all of 2-3x opportunities R* throws at you), it's again useless. Money is somewhat needed only if you're very, VERY big on car collections. Other than that, you just buy every property, a couple of OP vehicles, one or two super sport cars to feel the need for speed, and that's all.
I think rockstar can take a page out of bethesda's book. Like having building your own house or town like in skyrim SE and FO4. Perhaps you can spend money on maintenance of your cars or weapons, etc. Like, the more stuff you have, the more you have to pay in maintenance. Cause, once you do reach the end game in any of the GTA games, you will be swimming in cash with nothing to spend it on. Only way to be ''broke'' is to go gambling/buying stocks. A middleground would be definitely nice too.
Rockstar can also prolly make more advanced types of payments like pay and spray's don't just have a fixed price anymore to fix any damage amount. Its ridiculous that you can bring in a nearly destroyed car and get it fixed for a few hundred dollars. Should be easily 10's of thousands of dollars to potentially even hundreds of thousands.
GTAO has a pretty good economy. The problem is you are being forced to grind and some of the things just cost WAY too much.
Because an economy the player engages in, will definitely improve immersion and also better mix gameplay with story. I modded my skyrim SE to have kind of a real economy where you REALLY gotta pay high prices for getting gear. Improves the immersion.
Maybe only in terms of 5 but money revolves the game and is the entire premise of the game
If you ever been outside outside GTA actually is a great sim of how it works
I remember in GTA III i didn't have enough money for Bomb Da Base part 1. So I ran over pedestriansand collected their cash
I would like a stat sisteam where the more money u get the more ur stats increase how ever the more money u spend or loose the lower ur stats go macking the player think about how powerful Thay want to be and the amount Thay should spend
And it also punishes players who die frequently or buy ammo
Let's say you have dying takes away 10% of ypur funds so every time you die you lose 10% of those stats the money confers
You Die during a hard mission now you have les of a chance to beat it the second or third tine since you have less overall stats
@@robertst.pierre1341 oh I didn't think of that
That sounds terrible to be directly tied together, why should your money be tied to your power, have the option to upgrade yes but not that
Trying to earn money in gta5 online legit without buying shark cards is like trying to earn all properties in vice city without doing any mission.
i hope they add more poperties and houses in gta 6 like we had in sanandres
now the time for required burger shot mechanic
5 million in 2d gta - u made it in life
5 million in gta online - Still not enough to buy a complete business. A single maxed out truck would cost 3 M (In night club supply vehicle)
1:32 Why did you hit on 17?
The fix would be to give the player substantially less for completing missions or space out the larger paying jobs between more missions, to have players lose all the money they are currently holding with a bank system, have the player pay fines or lawyer fees and bail on top based on crimes they committed when they are caught, bring in a buy and sell system like drug dealing or chop shopping so there’s always something to spend large amounts on, and with the money loss system in place when you die, money will come and go frequently. Also make cars realistically expensive and make them perma dead if they’re destroyed with persistent damage, forcing the player to either take more care of their personal car they just spent half a mil on, or pay the money to have it repaired a lot. Make weapons perma lost if you drop it, die with it or get arrested forcing the player to purchase more guns. They could also give the player more options in running the businesses they own, like upgrades and keeping businesses stocked and staffed. Make gambling a thing again but with more variation like betting on fights and such as well as casinos and even random dice games like how red dead has random card games, make bribes a thing, make disposable gear and items, make the player pay rent and utilities early on until they buy their own properties, make furnishing player homes a thing so you have to buy furniture and other things for your houses, make eating food a necessity like red dead so you have to keep your fridge stocked.
There are so many thing they could implement, they just don’t 💁🏻 I haven’t watched the video yet btw, I’m about to now lol
Edit:
San Andreas definitely did it best imo, the horse races and casino games were perfect for spending money, but the health and armour cheat also came with $250,000 every time so I always had waaaaay too much lol
GTA 5 made cars you buy in story mode perma destroyed, making the entire point of buying cars pointless because why bother buying a car and customizing it if you will destroy it in few minutes. I bought a Zentorno only to realize it's not worth and I just continued stealing random cards on the street.
Same thing with guns, in GTA 4 it was easy to get arrested but money was limited so you would run out of money if you got arrested a bunch of times or fired the RPG too many times (5000$ per rocket but after finishing the story you will have only million or two). That's why savescumming was preferable in every situation
It's sad that the only gta set in liberty city that we can purchase safehouses is chinatown wars.
Money isn't useless, it's just used as a sense of progression
I remember GTA Vice City being the only old GTA game, where money actually had value, mostly due to the Real Estate Angle. In GTA 3 Money was nothing but a counter on the screen and GTA SA devolved back into that.
It's because they don't want you to hopelessly grind money in story mode, they said this with rdr2...online tho, they want you to buy them shark cards
I haven’t watched this video yet but i already agree with it
Even online it can become useless but depends on the player.
If your a person that has played it for years or a money grinder then their is a chance that you have earned soo much that you have purchased everything you can.
I've been playing game coming up to my 6th year and I was a money grinder but retired from doing that. I have all the properties and business I am able to buy, my garages and hanger are full with cars that I want or have gotten for free (I rather not sell something I got for free from the casino wheel). I have even purchased all tattoos, clothing, weapons and haircuts. I even on purpose purchased Pegasus vehicles just to buy something,
The only thing now that is generating me income is once a day I switch to my 2nd character and send out staff technicians to collect the CEO special cargo. Then on my main character I have stopped actively doing any business, with only my wall safes and because I cannot turn it off my nightclub hub generating my income
Liberty City never looked so good - explore GTA 3 with us.
If not using cheats in the ps2 era u definitely need the cash and especially in the beginnings it’s just the satisfaction in grinding for the properties just to say u bought all the houses in San Andreas and all businesses in vice city
I’ll get hate, but I used to hate R* for only doing multiplayer DLC but after replaying GTA V and starting Online again, I could totally say that story mode is only good for story but all other aspects of GTA gameplay work just fine in online, including fixing this problem where money is useless
GTA need to adopt the escape from Tarkov economy…. Money means a whole lot in Tarkov
Touché 🎉
i would disagree about GTA 4 - Nico is motivated by revenge - money is secondary (if at all), as evidenced by the fact that aside from outfits there's nothing to buy - he has money, but nothing to spend it on
Money is motivator in real life too
Something is like to see them do is a better job for the reason why you need money. Much like what they did in GTA V and Red Dead Redemption where you need to pay off a mobster by doing these heists or to better manage your camp and gang.
Also, I hope they do a better job with the property assets. Make them like the ones from Vice City where you have to complete actual missions to expand them, grow them and maintain them. But don’t make them like the ones in GTA V. Their properties assets were terrible.
Money used to mean something in old GTA games: when you died and have to buy weapons, ammo and armor again. Modern GTA are made for kids to spend all on cool pixel cars that they can't even drive straight for 5 seconds and have so many cars that they are willing to invite people to their garage just to show off.
Vice city vigilante missions in the thousands: here’s all the money no here’s -money I take it back no scratch that here’s all the money again 😂
It’s good that money means nothing in end game because it allows you to relax and enjoy the game :)
Geeze, as an old fart, I completely forgot the many-many hours I spent playing GTA2’s top-down, 2D gameplay and then being blown away when GTA3 dropped.
I also remember the massive media/political attacks on a game where the goal (in their words) was to become a crime lord that was running around selling drugs, picking up hookers and having shootouts with the police. The only thing they accomplished was the selling of even more copies of the game.
Bully’s school setting was so unique! I have a video on how it compares to other Rockstar games. Give it a watch! 📚🕹
They should make it more realistic to make and spend
I think the more things to buy the more fun the game
Relive the best PS2 moments with our in-depth gameplay videos.
I which was worse, GTA 4 or GTA III because both limited how you could spend your money, I believe you couldn't even buy properties in GTA 4.
Money is an early game item
money (and terrible controls) In vice city stories made me drop it without finishing it despite loving 3, VC and SA. The whole businesses system was too complicated for my linking, or more like too much of a hussle to enjoy.
5:07 wrong, gambling is super cool and guaranteed profit. But only if you can save your game.
GTA San and gta v are the only games I found myself not having enough money
For san andreas buy a house close to a horse betting shop, save the game, go to the shop, bet all your money or as much as you want on the last horse. If you lose load up your save file and try again. If you win...well you'll see how you get 😁
Yeah ik but what’s the fun in that
@ryanlopez1050 you can literally stop whenever you want 😑 Your the one who complained about not having enough money. I was just giving you an option
@@Mrfantastic92 I wasn’t even complaining bro, I was just saying those two are the only games I run out of money in, other gtas I have loads without anything to spend it on
@ryanlopez1050 honestly, it's about the same in san andreas. Once you have all that money its not much you can buy. I get it though. R* already pushed that game to its limit
gta sa was the only game that actually had stuff you could spend your money on (except gta v story mode but lets just be real here, story mode sucks) without the use of mods
no really tho, my three main story characters have all the money in the world and literally nothing to do with it. much diff online though, always something new to buy or upgrade.
Well the exchange rate is 10 : 1,000,000😂
Generally speaking, MMOG economies go downhill pretty fast and need rebalancing often. However, GTA's is the worst because so much emphasis is placed on stealing it.
Just like in real life. 👍👍
Red dead got the money thing right 👍
What use is wealth to someone that can steal whatever they want
Even in Gta online, where you have so many different things to spend money on it doesn't feel good.
First of all it's completely unrealistic, i know it's a GTA game but making hundreds of thousands no matter what you do is stupid.
Not everything new they add should be a multi million dollar expense, for example a Golf 2 should not be 2mil or whoever much it is.
It's like you make SO much money but everything is SO expensive.
And the ways of making money are just not comparable, why do anything else when you can spam Cayo Perico 7 times a day
5m money different then GTA money idk how to explain it
started gaming 2 years ago I built a nice gaming room I mean really nice gaming room u should see it it’s amazing but I only play ONE game Fifa ⚽️ ik it’s called EA Sports FC 24 but to me it will always be Fifa
This is problem with most games
Nice
Money in GTA online is useless considering the fact that you have to pray that 3 randoms join your heist and the payout is garbage and forces you to grind.
Bully’s missions were epic! I just posted a ranking of the top 10 missions. See if you agree with my picks! 🏆🎒
😕It feels like you can't do much with money in all GTA games except SA and 5 + 5o.
😪The problem is also more of the senseless self-created inflation of money in GTAo, where you have to invest thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars for everything for nothing.
😵The idea behind taking money from people with shark cards is almost understandable. but it still takes away the incentive to play.
👍At least in GTA6 (I really hope so) you can completely customize your own buildings, not just selected interiors created by Rockstar, but really 1000 small details for your own apartments and properties. That would be progress.
😪The vehicle tuning in GTA 5 isn't entirely wrong, the prices are just ridiculously overpriced.
🤷🏻♂These games simply lack your own goals so that you can actually achieve something, not just buy 10 shops and 20 bases, hangars, bunkers that, at the end of the day, no one will use anymore.
😵But well, the standard gta5 + gtao is so outdated, it's incomprehensible that so many people still play it.
😉Some SOME gta RP servers with money and possible purchasable objects and things are much better than gtao.
