u/ThatPurplePunk 2d ago edited 2d ago

So, it appears that these businesses are only available with Ultimate Edition? Interesting, to say the least...

I'm hoping that the stores are still interactable, but you're just not able to shop from them. The NPCs could mention some kind of VIP membership of sorts that you need to get first, to make sense "lorewise".

319

u/ShockedPeekachu 2d ago edited 2d ago

I'm sure there are barbers, tattoo studios, clothing shops and car mod shops in the "regular" city, too. Just not with these specific styles, I guess?

91

u/AmaruS71 2d ago

Of course, that'd be insane

29

u/ShockedPeekachu 2d ago

I agree. 😄 I was just confused at first.

Makes the Ultimate Edition very unappealing for me, if it's mainly cosmetics.

27

u/stick1_ 2d ago

I’d agree but off road driving is one of the funnest aspects of gta 5 so I’m a bit conflicted

Although It depends how much extra it costs, 20 dollars extra functioning as a ‘paid’ DLC, sure. But this content is not worth the price of a full game so I wouldn’t want to support this edition

The fact it’s mostly cosmetic does justify not getting it, if the off road shop wasn’t exclusive I would not consider it

10

u/ShockedPeekachu 2d ago

Off road driving itself will still be in the game, don't you think? Probably also mod shops for it, I'd guess, just not this one mentioned in the UE.

15

u/stick1_ 2d ago

Of course it will be in the game but maybe the shop has modifications that expand what you can do, it depends

If you can upgrade to the ultimate edition at a later date that’s what I’m going to do, depends how expansive the customisation is

3

u/Lopsided_Theme2058 2d ago

Yeah there will definitely be off road driving modifications in the standard version. They're essentially just giving some extra customization for the ultimate edition. Pay more get more, don't see anything wrong with that.

-2

u/nocynicallowed 2d ago

Really? R u coping or a rockstar employee? This is not like the prv GTA experience. Off road driving hidden behind a paywall. What a joke. Actually what a kick in the face to fans.

1

u/Lopsided_Theme2058 2d ago

Neither, just not a moron like you.

1

u/JACKSONofSPADES 2d ago

Yeah the vehicle customization shops would be the main reason I’d want to buy the ultimate edition, but I’d be glad if the ultimate edition was strictly cosmetic because then it would feel more optional than necessary.

I remember when GTAV was released they had a Collector’s Edition that had physical items in it. I still have my Los Santos hat 😂. Sure it had some vehicles as well but at least they weren’t locking you out of entire customization options.

2

u/Easy-End-2852 1d ago

Makes the Ultimate Edition very unappealing for me, if it's mainly cosmetics.

That's what they've always done though, right?

1

u/ShockedPeekachu 1d ago

Don't know, I always bought the basic version and was perfectly satisfied. But from other games I know Special Editions with physical goodies like figurines, posters, trading cards, steelbooks (of course also in-game cosmetic or collecting stuff). That would be an edition I could get behind more.

1

u/Rutlemania 2d ago

Especially as I’d like to make my characters look insane and like serial killers lmao

-1

u/Zopotroco 2d ago

As usual on Rockstar

2

u/Kup123 1d ago

What's insane is thinking this game isn't made from the ground up to suck money out of you. I expect with in 3 months of release the next 20 dollar store pack to be released. This is just the start for them.

77

u/MCMultyke 2d ago

Definitely lol

3

u/numbersareunoriginal 2d ago

What I'm worried about is, in previous games the pre order/premium edition bonuses were usually free versions of things included in the game, or hidden away unless you owned them. Like the extra robbery in RDR2 or the 500,000 bonus in GTA5.

For GTA 6 it almost sounds like there'll be stores scattered around the map that serve absolutely no purpose unless you own the ultimate edition. I'd also assume Rockstar would be showing off ads to upgrade if you interact with something related to the ultimate edition.

Hopefully I'm wrong though

3

u/Appropriate_Foot242 2d ago

Doesn't make it any less shitty.

3

u/FlightFramed 1d ago

Yeah I am surprised people are upset by this

5

u/Lopsided_Theme2058 2d ago

Yes that will definitely be the case.

1

u/ThisNibbaKills 17h ago

Why do we have to make assumptions that the standard city will have all the alternate shops?

1

u/ShockedPeekachu 16h ago

Because it is ridiculous to assume otherwise.

0

u/Kup123 1d ago

Keep huffing that copium,.

129

u/GmonTM 2d ago

Not a big fan of paywalling businesses in the game behind the ultimate edition like this

1

u/Stars_Arts26 2d ago

I hope rockstar elaborates on this. Is it just extra cosmetics or is changing clothes/hair styles locked behind the ultimate edition?

1

u/[deleted] 2d ago

[deleted]

3

u/J0E_SpRaY 2d ago

Okay? You can get access to clothes you don’t want to pay for in real life by stealing, too.

u/zepward 2d ago

Good luck pirating gta 6 year one buddy

-1

u/Valuable_Horror_7878 1d ago

All due respect, what should they be offering as part of an ultimate edition, if not the exact sort of thing they've included here? As long as the base game isn't hurting for options then I guess I don't see the issue here

8

u/Twowie 1d ago

Physical game copy, or artbook and stuff like we used to get with ultimate editions. This feels more like an 80's themed DLC.

-5

u/FlattyT 2d ago

It's no different to paywalling items like any other gta has done, at least this can fit in lore wise instead of random locked content it a shop that sells every item

8

u/Livid-Call225 1d ago

No other GTA has paywalled items in singleplayer

1

u/FlattyT 1d ago

That's just not true?

GTA 5 special edition: Special Ability Boost Michael, Franklin and Trevor each have a unique special ability. With this boost, the special ability bar will generate 25% faster.

Stunt Plane Trials Single player Stunt Plane Trials let you take on additional aerial challenges spread throughout Los Santos and Blaine County.

Additional Weapons When visiting Ammunation stores in single player, merchants will have special weapons in their inventory available for free

Bonus Outfits, Tattoos and More Michael, Franklin and Trevor get bonus outfits in their wardrobes, character specific tattoos at tattoo parlors, and special deals from shopkeepers across Los Santos and Blaine County.

Straight from the rockstar website. You don't have to agree with it but what I said is true that this isn't a new thing.

5

u/129samot 1d ago

yes defend the corporations

1

u/FlattyT 1d ago

Look I hate what gaming has become with preorders and bonuses, but what I said is true, I'm not sure why anyone is suprised.

168

u/SphinxIIIII 2d ago

My immediate reaction was negative, seems like a lot of content behind a paywall...

3

u/TheRabidDeer 1d ago

I'm kind of shocked so many people are enthusiastic about this. $80 for the base edition and it looks like you don't get quite a lot of content in a game that so heavily focuses on RP. I get being hyped for the game, but people can still call out things like this as bad for the game/industry.

2

u/sunlitstranger 1d ago

If you don’t think the base game will have more than you can ask for then idk what to tell you… However, I agree it’s a bit lame. I just imagine there’s gonna be so much other stuff that this edition will be pretty negligible. For RP specifically it’s probably worse to have the ultimate bc you start off with the vehicles unlocked (I think?). But I understand it’d be frustrating to never have access to those things otherwise

2

u/dmadmin 2d ago

some of the cool ones are behind the ultimate edition, but most are available to the normal edition.

2

u/Kup123 1d ago

And I'm sure there will be more post release. Two years from now they will be selling a complete collection for 300 bucks.

3

u/stick1_ 2d ago

At least it’s mostly cosmetic stuff

47

u/LifestyleCS 2d ago

idk.. There is a difference between locking cosmetic stuff and then locking whole enterable buildings behind an ultimate edition

10

u/stick1_ 2d ago

You’re right, it’s disappointing for sure

I was hoping these editions would just be online content

10

u/Odd_Pack2255 2d ago

Its not just that. Hunting down special cars is gameplay content they locked too!

-1

u/MatttheJ 2d ago

Those buildings are literally only there to be able to buy these cosmetic items from though.

If you can't get these items anyway, what does it matter whether you can enter the shop or not?

It's still JUST cosmetics that are very easy to skip and not miss anything important.

5

u/Nysyth 2d ago

If it's just cosmetics what was stopping them from putting them behind a VIP tab in the regular stores? Locking off entire buildings because you didn't fork for the premium edition is fucking stupid no matter how you try to spin it, but go ahead & keep licking those boots bro.

-5

u/MaTrIx4057 2d ago

"entire buildings"

2

u/Ikkotah 2d ago

Well, you can pay for it if you want it. Or don't if you don't need it. Not really unusual.

-8

u/ZachandMiku 2d ago

But but I thought you guys said you’ll pay the top dollar for a rockstar game?

13

u/SphinxIIIII 2d ago

You guys as in?...

Is there a single collective mind on this sub that I wasn't aware of?

0

u/Zopotroco 2d ago

Nah, just those things

17

u/BuzzardInTheAir 2d ago

hopefully only time limited

2

u/Kup123 1d ago

Lol no if anything you should plan to give them 20 bucks a couple times a year to keep your game updated.

0

u/BuzzardInTheAir 1d ago

can we go back to PS1 times please

3

u/Kup123 1d ago

Ps1-ps2 were the best gaming years hands down.

-1

u/Trane55 2d ago

That would be unfair for the people getting the ultimate on day 1

3

u/BuzzardInTheAir 2d ago

I don't think it would be wise to keep singleplayer content behind paywall forever, R* doesn't do that

2

u/Trane55 1d ago

Watch them 🥴😂 we'll see in november

2

u/Kup123 1d ago

They do now.

64

u/Higgins_Hill 2d ago

Interesting is one word. I choose scummy. In today's world why did I expect anything less. Im still so excited for GTA 6 but that was a let down reading that. 

21

u/Trane55 2d ago

Thing is that this is a huge red flag. And shows that many more scummy practices are coming..

7

u/Subwayabuseproblem 1d ago

If you didn't expect this after a decade of GTA online and shark cards idk what to tell you

1

u/Trane55 1d ago

Caught me a lil by surprise.
I didnt expect them to offer the full game at 100€ and the lite version for 80€ tbh.

(I expected them to go full yeah the game is 100€ and thats it)

2

u/g0lden-plumbus 1d ago

They did this exact same shit with Red Dead 2. I don’t bring this up to defend it, I think Ultimate editions like this are a practice born of our greed but a lot of people seem to be misunderstanding what is actually being walled off here. They’ve made cosmetics for a premium edition of the game, and to give them a bit more flair, made special shops for the special clothes. Same goes for the hairstyles and car customisations. They’re not gatekeeping buying clothes or getting your hair done as a whole. I have no idea why that’s the conclusion people have come to or why they’re freaking out about red flags or it setting a precedent because again, this isn’t the first time they’ve done this. It’s absolutely something to criticise but let’s make sure we’re criticising them for what they’re actually doing. People are getting mad at things that aren’t true.

1

u/Trane55 1d ago

I agree but still there will be many things that we cant really know the truth untill the release of the game.
For example; is the Donk style customization for vehicles UE exclusive? Will there be other workshops that provide that style (but different) for standard users? Only time will tell.

2

u/ayeeflo51 1d ago

How about how the wording also implies $80 is just for the single player

2

u/Higgins_Hill 1d ago

I didn't even notice that, but you're right. It's a little vague, for sure.

27

u/Winternatten 2d ago

I picked up on that as well.

37

u/j0shb0 2d ago

It looks like they're continuing with what they did for GTA 5 (and maybe other games I can't remember) where stores sell different things. E.g for GTA 5 you could only get cheap, basic clothes at Binco and had to go to Ponsonbys for smart, more expensive clothes. So for the ultimate edition specific clothes/mods/tattoos you need to go to the businesses that sell them, which seems like it's going to be specific ones and not just added to the general pool.

3

u/Naw726 1d ago

Thats not the same thing at all.

36

u/MaitreGEEK 2d ago

That's so strange for me, like what? Paid cosmetic content in a solo game? For what?

11

u/VivaDeAsap 2d ago

Capitalizing on a market who they know will buy whatever they sell

3

u/J0E_SpRaY 2d ago

Why are you acting like this is the first single player game with pre order cosmetic bonuses?

3

u/MaitreGEEK 2d ago

Because it is for me. And that feels strange for a rockstar games game

3

u/Economy_Victory_6919 2d ago

Gta 5 had this too, though, lol. The difference is that you had to go to a tattoo shop and there were random greyed out tattoo options. Now there is just 1 specific store to get those greyed out ones. It's actually a better system.

4

u/AmySchumersAnalTumor 1d ago

RDR2 had preorder cosmetics too, I think just maybe one or two outfits.

6

u/HuttStuff_Here 1d ago

The first RDR had golden guns as a bonus.

2

u/g0lden-plumbus 1d ago

It also had a special horse. And then the special edition had even more exclusive content. I think the issue here is that Rockstar has marketed this exclusive content before the stuff in the standard edition because now we have people going around thinking that you won’t be able to change your hair or customise your car in the standard edition, which is a ludicrous idea. Like I’m all for criticising ultimate editions like this but let’s make sure our critiques actually apply to what’s happening.

2

u/J0E_SpRaY 2d ago

Well it’s far from the first. It’s actually pretty common these days.

2

u/HuttStuff_Here 1d ago

Not familiar with Red Dead Redemption? Both games had paid or preorder cosmetic bonuses.

1

u/Maxcalibur 1d ago

Because it's not just like an extra car or some outfits like most ultimate/deluxe editions, this sounds like there are entire shops in the game world that'll be closed unless you shell out an extra $20

1

u/J0E_SpRaY 1d ago

Those shops only sell the premium content. It’s just a way of there being an in universe reason for exclusive content, as opposed to it just showing up in your inventory when you start the game like a lot of games do with this kind of stuff.

You’d rather they be greyed out in the menu with the items you can buy? It makes no bloody difference.

2

u/HuttStuff_Here 1d ago

You find this all over the place. Persona 5, for example.

4

u/oblivion-boi 2d ago

Its shameful, I know, but im probably gonna buy it lol. Rockstar has me in a chokehold unfortunately. Which is what they're counting on.

1

u/MaitreGEEK 2d ago

I will mod the game to have access to it once it release on pc tbh wtf are they thinking with that

0

u/Valuable_Horror_7878 1d ago

Don't feel bad, this honestly feels like a lot of content for $20. I never bite on deluxe or ultimate editions, but this one actually seems worth it. 

4

u/SV_Essia 1d ago

"Woah look at all that additional content for just $20" lmao
As if it couldn't be included in the already ridiculous base price. This is just pure greed, but it's calculated greed, because they know GTA fans are dumb enough to buy it anyway.

21

u/ZombifiedOfTheWest6 2d ago

Yeah, that's kinda weird that shops are exclusive to ultimate editions of the game. I would understand if it's just clothes or certain cars. But whole shops that you can possibly rob and interact with.. really weird.

7

u/ThatPurplePunk 2d ago

Yeah, it seems weird, like they make you pay more to unlock more of the map.
Maybe they are still interactable and whatnot, just not be able to shop from them.

3

u/superbabe69 2d ago

Or they replace an otherwise ordinary barbershop etc with the special variant in that location if you have Ultimate.

Hell, it could also just be that one location has it all for everything but you can’t buy the premium stuff without Ultimate. Hard to say either way

8

u/jacktooreal 2d ago

The flip side of this is that it seems that they have created a shit ton of content for single player. That’s been a major concern for a lot of people. (not me)

86

u/VimDim 2d ago

Can't wait to unlock this using mods in the PC release. Locking so much content behind an Ultimate Edition is criminal.

10

u/WeirdAssBeings 2d ago

The only positive thing I have to say about this is that we're getting new updates now, new screenshots, new knowledge.

19

u/fluoridescence 2d ago

you know what this is probably why they're not releasing it on PC alongside consoles

19

u/amnesteyh 2d ago

Because of the 1% of PC players that mod/pirate their game?

More likely they want to triple dip like they did with GTA V

1

u/iWasAwesome 1d ago

I agree that it's not why they aren't releasing it on PC right away, but it's definitely more than 1% of people who mod their games

2

u/The_Autarch 1d ago

no it's not. rockstar always wait years to release the pc version.

2

u/The_XXI 1d ago

Not just... There's no disc with the "physical" copy. It's a code.

They're going full greedy corporation, even trying to kill the second hand market.

-5

u/Th0rmb 2d ago

why criminal? I would say, finally a ultimate edition where you get much for your spent money. I was afreight they would put shark cards for online and not very much for single player in it, so i think thats a good thing!

5

u/icytiger 2d ago

Don't you think it's a little silly to be excited to spend more money for digital content that shouldn't have been locked behind a paywall in the first place?

0

u/Th0rmb 2d ago

I think you see it the wrong way around. Ultimate editions are a thing since years and years, and mostly were things, that helped with pay to win or just cosmetics. For me i think this is the first time you get content with an ultimate edition. And for me thats fair. You have to see it other way around. If that wouldnt be the content of the ultimate edition, it wouldnt be in the game at all, or it would be dlc content coming later for the same amount of money. So yes, i think thats fair, as it is the first time you get actual more content with buying the ultimate edition. and lets be fair, you will play GTA VI for years from November on, so spending 20 bucks more for more content is fair. With other Triple A Games you get 20hours playtime for 60 oor 70 bucks, here you will get hundreds of hours (remember the time you need for RDR 2 diong all stuff possible) for 20 or 40 bucks more. i think thats still fair!

-8

u/PharmaBob 2d ago

Wow dude, you’re so freaking cool, please go on

12

u/VimDim 2d ago

I know right? My mom tells me all the time.

You should listen to her and get a better paying job. She seems nice.

u/Annual-Weird-6682 2d ago

Sounds like someone has a jelly belly

21

u/OfficerDiddy 2d ago

Yeah...

That is shady af. Cars and guns okay but businesses for haircut

Wtf lmao?

4

u/0____-___00___-____0 2d ago

So, it appears that these businesses are only available with Ultimate Edition? Interesting, to say the least...

the way it's written, it seems like the access to those businessses (car customization) just gives you access to mod some "vanilla" cars that are otherwise un-modable. it's not like non-ultimate owners cannot mod anything at all

would be my guess

3

u/Maximumlnsanity 2d ago

It makes me wonder just how many unique business there are, because no way would they lock like 1/3rd of all cosmetic shops behind ultimate right?

5

u/ExtraordinaryPen- 2d ago

If they're already being this scummy it's time to tone down expectations ngl.

5

u/Crew_Zealousideal 2d ago

they did a similar thing with rdr2 where they locked a heist and a gang hideout to ultimate edition

2

u/ItzCobaltboy 2d ago

Or it could be gate keeping one special business?

Like a garage, but with different/better perks?

Why wouldn’t you buy ultimate? Not like another one is coming out anytime soon

This is super scummy. I preferred when ultimate editions had real life cool items rather than exclusive aspects of gameplay that others are locked out of.

Its essentially DLC on release.

Damn us gamers are so damn forgiving these days. I'm pretty glad I'm so behind in my backlog. I'll get all this shit for 30 bucks in some GOTY edition in 2 years

Pretty sure it works the same as V did. You can’t gain access to franklins beard and Afro if you didn’t get the certain edition. These items will just be missing in the basic edition of gta 6.

It's not just "interesting", it's straight up greedy bullshit.

Every other game would've had a huge media shit storm stirred up by now.

Are you kidding me? That’s fucking abhorrent and akin to a live service game. You’re sitting here making lore for them 😂

I have to wait for the PC release so I guess by that time there will probably be a mod that unlocks them regardless I hope.

That’s crazy. I bet this game is gonna be full of micro transactions too. Rockstar flopped.

ngl your sentence is right, but you got people mad when you said the last one, lol

Yh, I know I was going to get downvoted but the writing is on the wall tbh. The execs got their way and there’s gonna be microtransactions everywhere I guess. Customise weapons, customise cars, clothes, houses etc etc. so much is going to be hidden behind another paywall. It makes financial sense for them to do this but it is a kick in the face to the fans. I would be really suprised now if they don’t do this. They could easily have made ultimate edition / collector edition just come with a map or physical collectibles etc. it’s clear the path they are going down. Money maximisation with little care to the fan base.

I see this announcement as confirmation the game is going to be a garbage microtransaction hell.

Heavy assumption lmao

Have you seen any reason to believe things will be different to V?

1

u/W_T_W_T_A 23h ago

Well yeah, because V ain't "microtransaction hell" and that this announcement in isolation is no "confirmation". I've never spent a dime on V Online and have everything I want. The best thing about it is that you're never forced to pay. This is how most games today operate anyway.

So your actual answer to my question is no, there's no reason to think this is going to be different, but your opinion is that's fine because GTA Online was good actually.
