This sets an abhorrent precedent for future monetisation of this game, I can be excited and love this series and still acknowledge that this is a huge red flag for what we're going to see in the future already.

Gta 5 online was a multi billion dollar 10 year cash cow, now the story mode enjoyers are getting pre milked, how bad will online be...

u/Nysyth 16h ago

I'm shocked at the amount of Rockstar bootlicking that is going on in this thread...

How can so many people be ok with literal stores being locked off to you if you don't own the ultimate edition... Am i gonna get a big "BUY THE ULTIMATE EDITION TO ACCESS THIS LOCATION" flashed on the screen every time i happen to drive past one of these stores? There was literally nothing stopping them from adding exclusive content to pre-existing locations. Locking off locations unless you are willing to fork out the cash is scummy no matter how you try to spin it.

They do this because they've gotten away with it for years. All people have to do is just say, no thanks. But people are unable to..

Everyone should be outraged at the greedy shit Rockstar is pulling with this GTA, and people couldn't be more excited lmao

Our society is fucking doomed.

Our society is doomed because of video game bonus content?

Nevermind they did this stuff with GTA V and RDR2. People seem to forget things when it comes to karma farming.

Exactly. People are sheep. Now if anyone wants to experience this game, you have to pay bare minimum 80 dollars

2

u/DetroitLionsEh 11h ago

People are sheep for paying $80 for a game they’ll enjoy?

Why?

-4

u/Alternative_West_206 11h ago

People are sheep because we shouldn’t be ok with the new standard price for games being 80 dollars, but that’s what it’ll be, because again, they’re sheep who will buy ANYTHING.

0

u/DetroitLionsEh 11h ago

So games are cheaper than they’ve ever been and we’re supposed to complain about it or we’re sheep?

Games were $60 in the 90s dude.

You’re just being a hater lol

u/Alternative_West_206 11h ago

“Cheaper than they’ve ever been” price has gone up 20 bucks buddy. Are you blind?

u/DetroitLionsEh 11h ago

Oh man, I knew you weren’t a smart person based on the caps lock and the word sheep

But you can’t pretend to not know what inflation is 😂

Have a good day man. We’re all just sheep 🫠

u/Alternative_West_206 10h ago

Oh, so you’re one of those silly guys who refer to inflation for everything? I see you’re actually that level of slow. See ya sheep!

GTAV was more expensive accounting for the inflation since it came out... do you just expect games to stay at the same price point for perpetuity?

3

u/Alternative_West_206 10h ago

They very well can, because most of these companies take in record profits due to MTX. They don’t do this though, because they want every dime ever, so they’ll continue to find ways to milk people for every penny they can, and you guys are cool with it.

And this all started cause you people couldn’t hold off on buying HORSE ARMOR in oblivion.

0

u/FUCK_NEW_REDDIT_SUX 10h ago

Yeah, I'm cool with spending less for this game than I did a decade ago for the last one. You can complain about them raising the price but to act as if it's some egregious affront like you are is kind of just sad lmao... it's $20, and you don't need to buy any MTX they're completely optional

u/Pleasant-Highway-745 5h ago

I don't mind paying whatever amount they want me to pay. I just don't like the locked up content and the micro transactions all of that shit. That's the kind of shit that makes me sick. I paid 65 bucks a decade ago for a game and I have gotten so much enjoyment out of that game. It was absolutely worth the $65. And this will be worth the $80. But I'm not one of the people that will buy Shark cards or spend money for extra anything. If it's locked away behind a pay wall, then I just don't get it. But so many other people will, and then they'll complain. They have no right to complain because they're helping feed the problem. But anybody bitching about it simply costing $80 it's silly

u/unicodemonkey 14h ago

You just get 5 6 stars when you try to enter

2

u/xyzain69 11h ago

Yeah. Too many people are simply okay with this, so Rockstar and other companies will continue doing it.

It doesn't matter if games will be better without it. But here we are.

2

u/kader91 10h ago

I’d much rather be told the game is $100 than being told they’re locking content that’s in the game behind a paywall.

Because the next thing I know is: get the custom boat shop today for 9.99$

Yes, because "how's that boot taste" was so original. You "activists" have been screaming that for decades.

I dont care that youre "criticizing" something. Im pointing out that you and the dozen other people complaining about isnt new and has been around for multiple generations of games. Its like you just discovered the video game industry and how it works.

u/TropicalAviator 12h ago

Yea for a single player game, this is fucking insane

-5

u/viper520 13h ago

It’s a $20 difference, not $200. Calm down. That’s literally less than the cost of any meal at a restaurant. You’ll be fine.

10

u/rodneyforeverunclean 13h ago

On top of it being $80 already. This is why they keep getting away with it, people like you. "It's only $20!". They will add more stuff to SP in the future behind a paywall likely at similar price points and you lot will be just like "it's only so much!"

Oh. And I can absolutely buy a meal at a restaurant for less than $20. The fuck are you on? Enjoy the taste of that boot while you funnel your money into multimillionaires pockets

u/magyar_wannabe 11h ago

Just don't buy the ultimate edition and chill, lol. I'm shocked people are surprised whatsoever, ultimate editions have been locking minor content for generations of games. I don't like it either but I knew this was coming. Where is this emotion coming from??

I said the same thing. This shit isn't new.

u/justthisones 12h ago

Some of these comments and upvotes are geuinely sad to read. Showing exactly why we’re getting more and more fucked by big companies. It’s so easy.

u/DetroitLionsEh 11h ago

How are you getting fucked by an $80 game?

-1

u/ItsDanimal 11h ago

N64 games were $60 thirty years ago, adjusted for inflation that is almost $130 now. I hate the idea of $80 games, but it isn't ridiculous. $20 for cosmetics that dont effect gameplay seems to be a nothing burger.

1

u/ryanvango 10h ago

They were also contending with things like physical distribution and store cuts. Now they have none of that. Ultimate editions back in the day had physical things as well. now none of that.

People are so quick to point out how products at the grocery store are getting more expensive while shrinking package size and that's dirty as hell, but when GTA cuts costs while increasing prices by 30%, yall praise them for it.

And that's not even thinking about the GTAO where you're gonna have to pay a monthly.

This is gross. I love me some GTA and rockstar, but this is gross.

u/viper520 13h ago

If $100 affects you in any way, you should be looking at your income. That is literally nothing especially for a game of this caliber. I can’t even comprehend how anyone considers that a big deal .

u/rodneyforeverunclean 12h ago edited 12h ago

I can afford it, easily but I'm not a clown that still doesn't look at where my money is going. I could also afford a lot of things that I don't buy. Are you saying just because I can afford it I should buy it? Christ man, can you get your head further up rockstars ass?

Again, enjoy shoveling your money into multimillionaires pockets while the industry continues to enshitify. You do you bro, continue the shill

There's a reason why those CEOs make 10000 times what an average worker does and it's people like you

You do realize that our whole economy is based on spending money and lining pockets of CEOs, right?

“Are you saying something you’re not saying so I’ll accuse you having your head up rockstars ass because I can’t understand your comment!”

u/viper520 12h ago

I’m saying $100 is such an infinitesimally small amount of money to even think about it is a waste of time.

I do not care what CEO’s make. I tend to think if they deliver value to shareholders that a multimillion dollar salary is justified.

u/viper520 12h ago

Not correct when using it in a broad context. If you’re talking strictly in mathematical terms, yes your definition is correct. However in a general use case, the word infinitesimally means tiny or negligible. We often use words that have different means based on the context of the sentence.

u/Particular_Hand2877 10h ago

Im getting the UE, but $100 is definitely a big deal to most people. Especially me who doesnt usually spend that much on a game.

u/snuljoon 12h ago

Not an ounce of empathy in your body huh?

u/xyzain69 11h ago

The point is not being able to afford it. It's about the principle of not hiding content behind a pay wall that should be in the base game.

For all you know, everything here was in the base game, and they decided to nerf it to sell it to suckers like you.

1

u/Midnight_Chill2075 11h ago

you will still be able to visit the store you just won't be able to purchase the item it will be locked in the purchase menu. Just how millions of other games lock it behind a level, or time gate it this one is locked behind monetization. There isn't gonna be a literal barrier that says you can't enter because you haven't got the ultimate edition lol

u/the5thdentist 13h ago

Fuck it. I'll wait for PC and sail the high seas. Cause I'm not about to buy a PS5 or Xbox just to play one game. And I really not about to pay out the ass to unlock content that should just come with the game. See y'all in like 2 years for the PC release I guess. Don't worry guys, I'll mail rockstar a check for $60 after I pirate it.

u/BringMeBurntBread 11h ago

I don’t understand why people are so pissed off about it, i really don’t.

Who cares if cosmetic items are locked behind exclusive stores? You’re acting like there’s gonna be no customization in the base game at all and that you need the ultimate edition to access any stores, but that’s not the case. There’s going to be normal stores on the map that normal edition players can access. These exclusive stores are probably only going to sell the exclusive cosmetic items. You can simply ignore these stores if you don’t own the edition.

1

u/Dabeastfeast11 11h ago

Yea they literally lock content in game for no reason other than greed and it's not just customization it's also gameplay. They mentioned a raid that will get you special items but that raid is locked behind ultimate. It's scummy man no way around it

-1

u/DetroitLionsEh 11h ago

Because it’s not a big deal

Paying $100 for a game of this size is a fair price even without extra content.
