Though the developer warned “many lesser-used autos” can be faraway from the sport forward of the growth launching, many gamers assumed only a handful of previous vehicles can be pulled. Instead, Rockstar eliminated practically 200 autos, together with some beforehand free to accumulate, and put a few of them behind a paywall.
“If there’s one factor I’ve by no means heard anybody say since 2013 is there are too many vehicles that can be purchased.”
“They stated lesser autos and eliminated f**king all the things,” commented one pissed off Reddit consumer on a publish outlining each eliminated car. “They actually ruined this replace already with that silly s**t,” stated one other.
Rockstar stated it eliminated the autos to “streamline the purchasing expertise” however one consumer, who claimed to have been enjoying GTA 5 because it launched in 2013, stated this was by no means a problem within the recreation.
“If there’s one factor I’ve by no means heard anybody say since 2013 is there are too many vehicles that can be purchased,” they stated. “I’ve by no means as soon as heard that. Not as soon as.”
The listing of pissed off customers goes on. “This is f**king theft,” stated one other. “Holy s**t, the lesser used time period was a big lie. Everyone thought it was gonna be the NPC car or actually, actually previous ones. This is disgusting attempting to create pretend rarity like that.”
Rockstar is but to deal with the fan outcry however IGN has reached out to the developer for remark.
The elimination of so many vehicles appears slightly ironic given considered one of GTA Online’s earlier main updates lastly added the long-requested 50 automotive storage. Rockstar continues to replace the sport recurrently regardless of it being out there for 10 years already, although Grand Theft Auto 6 (which may launch as early as subsequent yr) might change that.
