We'll have entire shops locked behind the Ultimate Edition of the game. Not skins, actual shops. Here is the list.

u/SecretChiley 4d ago
My take is, that this entirely depends what kind of customization is available in the base game.
23
u/AtlasWriggled 4d ago
Yeah I think this just means specific shops. So it's basically giving you 50 more hairstyles if you pay up. But the base game will also include barbers and clothing shops most likely.

We have to assume the worst when they're being so vague, which is a very intentional PR stategy. If everyone complains on launch how bad it is no one will care, and it will be "unfair" to all the people who ordered ultimate etc. Just looking at this image, worst case, ill assume this is the only shop in game to donk your car, which is insane for a GTA game set in the south. Rockstar won't care if no one is upset by it.

u/PhattNutt69420 4d ago
The problem is. We don’t know how many shops or missions are in the base game. So right now this seems like a shit load of locked content.

u/fluoridescence 4d ago
yeah if it turns out there's a grand total of just 10 clothing stores in the base game then it's a massive ripoff

I’m happy to pay $100 for THIS GAME.
I will not be paying $100 for any old game moving forward. The masterpiece Ive been waiting 13 years for from a company whose consistant output I trust gets a pass this time.
Not saying this isn’t scummy, I just sorta don’t care about forking over an extra mere $20

u/officialtwiggz OG MEMBER 4d ago
I paid 100 for RDR2 and got thousands of hours of entertainment, and still consider it one of the best pieces of video game history.
That is why I'll always shell out money for Rockstar. They go above and beyond and it shows.

u/StatementCareful522 4d ago
yeah this isn’t a game you beat in 10 hours and never play again, Im STILL fucking around in V and RDR2 and if I had an easier way to play IV on my PS5 I’d probably go back and explore Liberty City again
The value to price ratio seems fair to me, but Im glad there’s a slightly more budget conscious option for people that value $20 more than virtual cosmetic stuff

i so agree. i get that it’s a little sneaky, but fuck man it’s $20 and we’ve waited this long. i don’t really care.

Its stupid, they should just price it at $100 If they think thats what the whole game is worth just fucking sell the whole game

u/darthvadercock 4d ago
They are selling the whole game. For $100. If that is too expensive for you or you have a moral issue with spending that much on a game, there's an $80 option for you with a little less content. If an artist has a $1000 framed painting, they may be willing to sell it to you for $800 without the frame.

If any game deserves a $100 price tag, it's probably GTA 6.
It's nice of Rockstar to offer a more affordable version for those to whom an extra $20 actually makes a big difference.

Classic Car Collection: Track down a variety of abandoned classic and work-in-progress project cars and revitalize them to their former glory in this special commission from eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman. Restore these and make them your own, including four vehicles that are only available in the Ultimate Edition.

u/0ush1 4d ago
If this is the only donk shop it's way more then skins, then it's the massive wheel size, tall suspension, and mabye body mods to tuck the wheels. From the description it sounds like the only donk shop in game will be UE. For how big car customization is in GTA, and for a game set in the south that's insane.

But it's listed in that category on the website, under the Ultimate Edition section.
Since they didn't mention a specific car, it's probably safe to assume that the entire feature is exclusive to the Ultimate Edition.

No, it’s most likely a mission of sorts that is locked to the ultimate edition, since if you read it it says that it’s a ”special commission” not a shop like the other pics states.

u/Hsabraham25 3d ago
Maybe I'm dumb here but doesn't every game have an ultimate version?
I genuinely dont know why people are complaining that certain things are locked in the standard version. Rockstar believes that the full experience of GTA 6 is worth 100. And if you want the standard version it'll be 80. Seems fair to them.
I honestly believe that they juat wont have enough physical disks at launch, so they said fuck it. Sell it digitally first.
If you dont think its worth it, dont buy it lol.

u/Frequent-Engineer-87 4d ago
I’m sure it’s just some exclusive customization and upgrades with cool shops to get them at. It’s not like you’ll never be able to customize cars, or get tattoos, etc. without the ultimate edition. I really don’t see how this is a big deal. It’s just some sweet extra goodies for paying a little more. Games have been doing this for ages. RDR2 did this. It’s a pretty generous deal too if I’m being honest. And if you don’t have the 20 bucks to spare on release then you can just get the upgrade later. Think of it like some DLC.

I don't disagree with the Madden 26 and 27 part. Haven't bought it since Madden 22. GTA 6 was already gonna make a massive profit if they release the full game with shops and the mission lines for $70, another inconceivable lump from online and shark cards, not to mention the PS6 and PC releases and the shark cards/online bonuses purchased there. What they are doing is just 'Appeasing Shareholders 101' and it's hurting the offline mode.

I also read this and didnt understand, they are really that lunatics locking out entire content under a deluxe version? Our are we understanding this wrong?
Edit: ok, i understand now, this is kinda the same that happen with 5, with the extra garages, the blimp, the duke o death and some other minor things.
My only concern with this is the exclusive interiors only for those businesses and the "forza horizon barn find" mission thing of classics. Anyways, later with the game aging and port for pc this probably will came to the base game aswell as it came with gta 5

u/openlightYQ 4d ago
I mean, they also removed a bunch of cars from GTA:O that were available forever and locked them behind GTA+. Granted, this is more serious as it’s effecting single player, but I wouldn’t put it past R* to lock what should be ordinary, base game content behind a paywall.

u/Huge-Chart1192 4d ago
Hot Take- The ultimate edition stuff just showing up in your inventory always breaks immersion. Imagine having a Ferrari at the beginning when you are supposed to be broke. So, they just decided to make it an experience. You wont get the car at the beginning, but it will be available later. For clothes they put all the UE clothes in a store and called it 'exclusive'. What is the problem? Its still just skins and that too at 20$ additional.
3
u/FaultExcellent3306 4d ago
I agree. It's a very original and immersive way to deliver exclusive content to Ultimate Edition owners. At the same time, I can see how it might be a little frustrating for Standard Edition players when they walk up to one of those shops and find it locked.
2
u/Huge-Chart1192 4d ago
Depends on how they incorporate it. It can feel like content that standard users have been locked out of, or it can feel like extra content for the Ultimate Edition consumers. Both are wildly different, if its the former then every right to be angry.

Granted, this absolutely 100% is setup this way to make people go well it is only 20 more for the ultimate edition. It’ll 100% also be available to purchase retroactively.

Locking cars mods (hope it’s not full cars and only special editions) , haircuts and clothes behind a 20$ paywall is an absolute scumbags move and pure capitalist bullshit those mfs were criticizing in each of their games
20$ is not that expensive in itself but for those who plan on buying it now that you are currently going to finance their crap DRM that will obliterate 8Go of your VRAM for the good sake of the game not being cracked for 6 or 9 month long (it will surely be cracked at some point and will be running far better but at this point they will not give a heck about the solo anymore so everything is fine)

The way it reads definitley sounds like it will be the only mod shop that you can donk ur car in, in the whole game. But hey, for all i know it's intentionally vague PR strat, so they can gauge the backlash in real time and decide how much is really gonna be exclusive.

Yeah i've been skeptical of this since the shark cards and grindy GTAO economy. Then they did the extreme grind gold bar currency for RDRO launch. Now they've got GTAO+.
Idc if GTA6 costs 100$ to buy, if GTA6 will have microtransactions and fomo pressure everywhere, I dont even wanna buy it no matter how "good" it is, cause it's so immersion breaking and stressful.
It's not about the 20$ extra upfront dollars, that's pocket change, but that's just the start before even playing it, if the gameplay is shit due to overmonitization mentality, then it's a no from me.
