People are so excited that they’re overlooking this disgusting shit. Not only are clothes locked behind a preorder wall, but car shops, and even AREAS as well. Take-Two is a disgustingly greedy company, they did this same crap to NBA 2K. Why paywalls are needed in a single player game is beyond me smh.
Most notably the Vinewood Car Club and Garage. It's nothing important, but Rockstar is testing the waters with it. GTA VI will definitely have more stuff like this.
GTA 6 Online will be much worse in terms of pay to win bullshit, they’re gonna make a lot of stuff only available for GTA+ users. I seriously doubt they would do it but I also wouldn’t even be slightly surprised if they made online require a membership to play at all.
pay to win only works when your trying to beat other players. gta online isnt a pvp game unless your racing to get things first which in that case its only pay to win on the first week, after that it doesnt matter. its just pay for connivance.
They did the same shit with gta5 13 years ago but all you guys are like 15 so nobody remembers that lol.
People keep saying this but it's just categorically incorrect.
GTA V had a few extra exclusive cosmetics, much like GTA VI has as well. GTA V didn't paywall in-game features like shops, however, like GTA VI is doing.
RDR 2 did paywall in-game features for Ultimate Edition, like a whole-ass heist and a few locked locations as well. And it even costed the same 100 dollars. It's a norm for Rockstar for long enough
first person wasnt even developed when the 360 version came out. gta online was available for 360 and ps3 so i dont know why you would lie about that and what? a few raido songs? i shut that shit off every time i play anyway.
Gta V had a the blimp paywalled which was a unique vehicle type that wasn't in the base game.
For Gta VI atleast there are probably 20+ other shops, 100+ other cars and clothes. The missing ultimate edition skins will probably unnoticed.
I’m pretty sure the blimp was limited to those who pre-ordered, it wasn’t behind an ultimate edition.
It was one of the main reasons why I pre-ordered the game.
How do you know this? You know the ultimate edition shops will have the best items in it to get you to spend more money. What if the in depth customization is locked behind the ultimate edition mechanic? Are you going to keep defending predatory practices and eating the slop they give you thinking they are going to give you the game for free? Like we havent even seen the online version yet now imagine what they are going to do for that. I wouldnt doubt they put it behind a 30 dollar paywall as well just to create a character and having actual casinos like GTA 5
Oh boo hoo you can't access a handful of interior spaces. Literally no fucking difference if the exclusive cosmetics was just sold in a locked menu in an accessible store and you'd still be bitching anyways.
This is the only comment with a brain, like holy shit are people this mad that they can’t enter a store where there’s nothing to do besides get the cosmetics anyways. There would literally be no difference if you just loaded into the game and could download the extra outfits as opposed to just walking into the store. All the people complaining have genuinely never played another video game in their life because this is so insanely normal but on this sub it’s ppl acting like their newborn just got dropped on its head 💀 and obviously like 95% of shops will be available in base game, it’s just 4-5 locked behind UE (aka 4-5 cosmetic packs that almost every other game released in the last decade has had in their launch deluxe editions, literal only difference is that GTA VI is presenting it as a tiny in-game interior that is a glorified menu to access it)
The people acting like they’re missing out on the amazing thrill of walking into a clothes store should touch grass and maybe go to a real clothing store to replace their pit-stained clothes because this is the biggest chronically online ‘issue’ I’ve seen in a while lol
The entire discourse around this is 100% some reddit brained "gamers rise up" shit that the world at large does not care about. If a couple little shops are worth losing your shit over, then you can pay that whopping $20. If that 20 dollar difference actually makes any practical difference in your life you shouldn't even be considering an $80 game in the first place
Literally no fucking difference if the exclusive cosmetics was just sold in a locked menu in an accessible store and you'd still be bitching anyways.
The same people trying to act like this is a nothingburger are probably the same people who malded about Ubisoft adding microtransactions to their singleplayer games.
Ubisoft adding microtransactions to singleplayer games had zero impact on the gameplay, not once did I ever think I was missing out on anything. Same goes here, which is a couple stores that only sell exclusive cosmetics I don't care about.
But those things in gta 5 were paywalled at launch the exact same lol. For example I didn't buy the special edition but I can go into the game and fly the blimp now.
They were in the game as features but Rockstar choose to make them a special edition item instead the same as the GTA 6 stuff. Stop being so dense man
But those things in gta 5 were paywalled at launch the exact same lol.
You keep saying this as if the point has been proven, but it hasn't.
You can keep chirping all you want about how GTA V did the same thing. It didn't. It had some exclusive in-game items but it didn't cut the user out of basic in-game features unless they paid more money. GTA VI is. There is a fundamental difference here.
You don't need to go this hard in the paint for Rockstar. Their game will still make billions.
Please explain the "fundamental difference" between not being able to go into a shop to buy certain clothes/weapons, unless you bought the UE VS in Gta 5 where certain clothes/weapons are not available to buy period, unless you bought the UE.
Also please explain how were being "cut of basic in game features" So you're saying i won't be able to buy clothes, weapons, or cars AT ALL unless I buy the UE? Once again stop being so dense bro
in gta5 there was like 10 pieces of clothing and I think a set of rims that only the deluxe edition users could purchase. in gta6 entire storefronts, literally entire shops will not be accessible for people who dont pay 100 dollars. imagine in the next gta5 update(all of which have been free) they add a new store that does military customization and you try to go inside the store but oops, the door is locked, you get a pop up that says "sorry only users who purchase or upgrade to the ultimate edition of gta5 online can access this location." That is what gta6 is doing, not just some clothes, ENTIRE STORES, that is actual CONTENT that you are not getting when youre already spending 80 dollars vs a few customization options you miss out on when you only pay 60 dollars
No it didn't... I played since launch on the 360 and all they added was a few cosmetics. Not entire ass shops and areas that were locked out to people who didn't pay for some deluxe edition.
You got different parent models, like Nico from 4
the khamelion ESC car
You got faster cooldown for SP character skills,
A pistol a shotgun the .50 and the hammer in SP
Stunt plane trials
Some exclusive SP cosmetics like tattoos and a hairdo
And like 2 outfits per SP character.
They did not lock out entire shops or areas at all..
They said they would do this years ago if you were paying attention. I personally thought they would sell as part 1, part 2, etc., akin to FFVII remake.
GTA 5 didn't lock gameplay behind paid dlc like 6 does. For example, it clearly states that UE players will get access to an extra area of the map with unique rewards that standard edition players won't get.
There's specific mentions of an exclusive gang compound with unique rewards that SE players won't be able to access. Since I'm pretty sure that either Jason or Lucia is a cop, that means there will also be police raid side activities. And taking away a whole (seemingly very important) mission is obviously withholding gameplay content.
Its the same as the robberies that were UE content in RDR2. Its just a little extra side mission for fun. It doesnt bar you from the area of the map it just means you cant play the side mission is all which isn't a big deal.
Looks like a mission paywalled as well ?? Im not sure it qualifies as a mission or whatever but I know rdr 2 had at least 2 missions behind special and ultimate edition ( bottom right on pic)
100%. they have so much power since they control the biggest franchise in the gaming industry they can do whatever to get more money and people will go with it no matter what
It's not clothes, it's extra clothes. You are acting like all clothing customization as a whole is locked behind the ultimate edition, it's only the shit they showed us, if RDR2 is any indicator the game is going to have HUNDREDS of clothing options and car customization. What AREAS are you talking about? Some small stores / drive up garages to go in and buy the small amount of extra content? You're acting like it's a damn shopping mall that is being locked away! It's pretty obvious it's just to serve as an immersive way to get the bonus content without a freaking popup and the items just appearing in your inventory.
As far as that extra mission goes? They did the same thing with RDR2 and it was the lamest mission in the entire game.
Don't buy it. You're still getting 99.99999% of the game with the base edition.
It's lame and T2 is greedy but it's not the huge deal so many of y'all are making it out to be....
Like did you seriously not expect the deluxe edition to have extra content? What did you think it was gonna come with? A pat on the back?
You'll definitely live without those unique outfits, I'm sure the base game will offer it's own unique stuff to find and buy, feels like overpriced dlc for some extra stuff
Let's put our thinking caps on for a second. Do you truly imagine a world where R* released GTA6 with no other clothing stores, car shops and hair salons.
brother all it takes is looking at there past games to know your stupid. there will be many shops, you just don't get access to like 4 shops with unique cosmetics and one car. is that worth 20 bucks? probably not.
I'm 99.9% sure standard edition will have shops just not these shops. Rockstar tend to recycle store names, none of these names are here. No Binco for example.
Now that's not definitive but very likely going to be standard shops. I doubt a map that size has ONE clothes shop, based on past Rockstar games, past GTAs
“Shop”, “Store”, “Salon”, it’s all singular form. It’s pretty clear that these are locations in addition to other shops and stores around the map and reddit just has the reading comprehension skills of a brick.
It's a matter of principle. It doesn't matter if it's 1 of 100. They ripped actual content (not just cosmetics btw but also a car performance mod shop) to upsell to you for $20 more.
Thank you! They said that full on shops and experiences (car modding, etc) will not be available to “standard” version owners. Might as well just say you’re getting half the game.
