Have played since the first week of launch, and dropped it around maybe a year ago, since every vehicle is somehow slower than the Pariah but with nearly double-triple the price tag. I don't really see as to how people think this game is pay to win though, I have every property with the most expensive upgrades without ever spending a dime. I also own a 60 Car garage on my Maze Bank office with the most expensive cars. I enjoy playing the game and doing deathmatches (exclusively run and gun, no explosives or vehicles). I recommend playing at least once WITH friends. I can't recommend the PC version as hackers can just see your IP and at that point your internet connection is at risk. As a full time online college and soon uni student, I can't allow that risk anymore. The gameplay loop gets boring I admit pretty fast as you reach "end game" and turns into an artificial grind (my biggest and last was probably the most expensive yacht with the most costly lights and upgrades). Although this game isn't the same genre, the gameplay loop is still better than Destiny 2, which is the king of artificial grind. Want a tip? Join a lively crew, my best experiences are with an active crew. It's so much fun selling your businesses in public lobby (you get a 1% bonus per player in the session iirc) and having a bunch of helicopter and futuristic vehicles defend your truck from flying broomsticks that shoot missiles. If you're on Xbox, I suggest Ghillie Master on YouTube, if on PlayStation, watch TheProfessional. Their tips are life changing and will change how efficiently you manage your time in this huge expansive game. I have saved hundreds of my own and others' hours just by following their advice.
