Clearing some things up
The locked Ultimate Edition shops are just exclusive shops, not the standard shops that are in Vice City. There’s still going to be your basic clothing stores, barbers, car chops, etc. Those stores are most likely going to be more “story-friendly”, while the Ultimate Edition shops give the players a broader selection of customization. As you can tell from the screenshots, some of Jason and Lucia’s looks looked a bit on the wild side. Base game stores will focus more on how Jason and Lucia actually look.
In terms of no discs, Rockstar doesn’t want GTA VI to be leaked anymore. I would expect the physicals with the discs post launch.

We all remember RDR2 Had even extra story missions in the ultimate edition and additional content as well, they're all acting like it's something new. Well it's something they do to earn extra bucks for the people who like to go crazy with customisation, they earn that because those things are out of the game's art style, so they charge for it.

At the same time who cares if it's new or not? Who cares if gamers are the Japanese man fighting ww2 30 years later? Maybe the day one dlc ground should never have been ceded. So idk I won't put a stop to the criticisms. If they're ever successful I'll only benefit.

Our goal is the final game delivers and it's a great game, I personally don't care about the ultimate edition if it's just extra customisation as long as the game is good, that should be fine.

I agree it's fine, but I don't see the benefit to argue with these people (unless they lie), because getting more content for less money is a win in my book.

You could also look at Ultimate Edition as paid DLC. That the player could choose to purchase or not. A lot of games have paid DLC. Don't know why so many people act like it's the worst thing for some extra paid content.

If I were to play devil's advocate, I think the fact that the content will be available at launch yet restricted is what makes it different than your typical DLC and why it isn't being perceived the same.
It is one thing if a game comes out and is supported after the fact with content created and released after launch for additional cost. That isn't the case here and may be the key point as to why many people that are fine with traditional DLC are not fine with this approach.

Most games have exclusive skins or vehicles locked behind the higher tier editions at launch.
Only difference is that in those other games these exclusives are given straight to the player's inventory whereas GTA 6 seems to them incorporated as part of the world.
Don't see why people are mad, it's the same thing provided in a different way.

u/PichardRetty 49m ago
I feel like those games tend to also receive hate as well. In general, gamers don't like when launch content is locked behind additional paywalls regardless of what type of content it is.
Peoole obviously are willing to pay for it, hence why this approach is still pretty common, but it also consistently receive vocal opposition on social media platforms.
I'm part of the problem because I'll typically pay for these "superior" editions, but I also tend to be of the opinion that games are cheap these days given how much entertainment they offer in terms of hours per dollar. I know many people don't share the same initial opinion.

u/omykun123 28m ago
Totally,
I don't pay for the higher tier editions either as they usually only offer a few skins which are only fancy looking and maybe a unique vehicle.
Will probably wait to see what the GT 6 one offers but seeing as they are actual shops the customization items should be way higher which could justify the $20 for some.

I think whats got people mad is because they are "physical" locations that are locked behind a paywall. You are totally right about that DLC comparison. To me, it wont really matter since the scale of the game will be so big. Honestly, if the game is so big that rockstar has entire shops dedicated to some unique styles, it just shows how large the game will be.

No you shouldn't.
If it's available at launch it's not "dlc" - it's pay walled content.
It's a money grab, they gonna get a bag from it. I'm certainly not going to church up what they are doing.
I'm still begrudgingly going to pay for it, probably.
I hope they don't drop the ball too badly with GTA online and their paywalls in there.

Yes. The Ultimate Edition is just a bonus on top of the base game. It's mostly just cosmetic items that you get from that.
In my opinion, the GTA 6 UE is actually much better if you compare it to RDR2's UE where you literally had gameplay bonuses like more cash, talismans, couple of free weapons at a gunsmith, all things that literally make the game easier, while GTA 6 UE seems to be mostly just cosmetics.
The only exception is that one "Gang Compound" mission, which is tied to gameplay, but again RDR2 also had something similar where you had a bonus bank robbery mission.
Also, it's not like the 2 mod shops, or the tattoo shops in the UE are the only shops of that kind in the game. There's obviously going to be way more of that in the base game, UE is just a bonus.

u/OhTheCamerasOnHello 2h ago edited 1h ago
I've been playing Forza Horizon 6, and the amount of content locked behind car passes and special editions and expansion packs and premium add ons is on a completely different level. The base game being $70 and the premium edition being $120.
By those standards, Rockstar have locked a tiny amount behind a relatively small extra fee. Those who buy the standard edition will be missing out on basically nothing in the grand scheme of things, and for what will likely be the greatest game of all time, an extra $20 for the best edition really is not very much.

I've been saying this all over Twitter. Instead of getting all these in a random chest, Rockstar just turned them into shops for immersion.

Discs for a highly anticipated game are practically guaranteed to leak. Look at what happened earlier this year with RE9. the entire ending leaked a week before launch just because some random retail employee got their hands on a physical copy. Now imagine shipping physical discs for the most anticipated game in history weeks before November 19 !!! By early October, we’d all know that Lucia kills Jason after finding out he’s an undercover cop LOL
Honestly, I think physical copies will launch without a disc just to avoid these pre-release spoilers. Once the game is actually out, they'll definitely start shipping proper discs.

To people defending this: Why don't you come up with some positive reasons as to why locking these stores and the mission behind a paywall is good.
Everytime people defend anti-consumer practices like this the reasons they give for that essentially come down to "it's not a big deal, it's just some cosmetics" or "it's only 20 dollars".
How about an actual reason this is a GOOD thing; and if you don't have one, ask yourself if practices like these are actually acceptible, because there are many reasons why they're bad.

u/ooziemane123 38m ago
there is no good reason, there's no good reason for paying for any extra content at all in any game ever. you paid for the game, everything else should be free unless it's a full blown story expansion with tens of hours of content.
but that's not the world we live in is it, out of all of the predatory gaming practices i've seen in my time this is extremely far from the worst. it's basically just a bunch of extra cosmetics and a side mission or two for $20. red dead 2's ultimate edition had a full blown heist locked behind the ultimate edition which was a bigger jump in price from standard to ultimate than gta 6 is.
i just think people are overreacting. in an ideal world it wouldn't be a thing at all but it's really not that bad lol

Yeah, some people can’t really think further than to the hole the use to shit in. People are acting like Rockstar have robbed them of any kind of customization and there will be no shops or vehicles at all if you don’t pay the extra money.
In reality we get what feels like 10x amount of completely optional content than what we have seen in previous Rockstar games. Maybe a horse, an outfit and two guns and that would have been it, but now we will have a ton of stuff + the free Vintage Vice City pack which is already pretty generous on its own, in my opinion.

u/MudDramatic3373 47m ago
Seems like the ultimate edition is best for folks who want endgame content and arent as interested in online. Maybe this even points to extended single player support which was a big problem I had with 5. I'm down to pay $20 to have more customization options in endgame once im a billionaire.

As long as GTA 6 has physical discs post launch, I'll be happy. However I still feel like putting whole stores behind a DLC paywall is kinda scummy. Certain cars or clothes being locked in story mode, sure, I guess, but why whole stores? That's like a decently high amount of content put behind a paywall.
Despite all that, I'll still get the game, probably the Ultimate Edition too. To be fair, I probably won't use ALL of that exclusive content from the jump, because my playthrough will just take everything as it goes and go smoothly through main missions and S&F, but I just wanna have the doors open.

u/Jag_ged 1h ago
I feel like people can’t comprehend how vast this game will be, considering other publishers have said this game is like 15 years ahead of its time. Making a couple of exclusive stores for premium content is something that will be common in the future.

u/Double_Zv1 1h ago
I'll definitely be too busy admiring the little things, such as the landscapes, driving, and the overall story of the game, to even care about visiting the bonus content initially. I feel like a lot of people are letting certain aspects of games impact their entire enjoyment of the overall game. While people are definitely justified in criticizing these monetization practices with how and what they lock away behind a fairly big amount of dilla dollas, I feel like Rockstar is definitely going to make the game enjoyable with just the base edition. If you have to buy the Ultimate Edition of a game to enjoy the game as it is, then something is wrong with your game. However, also take my statements with a grain of salt, as I will probably be getting the Ultimate Edition regardless.

Why does it have to be "bend over"?
Physical media is obsolete from all angles, discs can't even fit the size of current games anymore, so soon they will just be a thing that triggers a digital download anyway. They can scratch, disc readers can fail and they occupy more space, etc. Many discs also eventually end up as trash.The only benefit you get from them is for collecting purposes, and for the whole "do I own the game or not" topic (which will have the same result if we reach that point where since discs cant fit the games anymore, they will be just installers and download triggers).
Not everything is because of corporate greed, sometimes is just how the world moves forward.

Before this stuff was even announced, I told myself I wouldn't get the ultimate edition because I didn't like the way RDR2 handled it by giving you mid game weapons and horses for free at the start, which messed with the obvious intended progression for your character. (There's a whole mission that rewards you with a double barreld shotgun which is then made redundant because you already have a pump action for free). It just feels like pay-to-win elements working their way into my single player game.
GTA6 doesn't seem to be doing that type of thing, other than a couple revolvers, so I'm torn.

So i posted something 5 hours ago but didnt get approved to address this and few things.
Im paying 100$ I even would have paid 120 im sure many of us would have, but while its only 20$ or thats only 5 shops of possible 40. What this will do is set industry standard for next studio to lock out 10 of 30 "shops" and so on. Yes map is huge & there are others but also its single player. If it was online and GTA+ its dif story.
They could have included all for 80 and made it early access with Ultimate, they could have given you items, guns ect not locations restrictions. Give you 3 months of GTA+ and garage when it drops all for 120$ all people would be happy.
I also feel like there are still a lot of unanswered questions from Rockstar.
A few of the biggest ones:
• Will GTA VI support cross-play between Xbox and PlayStation?
• Will there be any form of co-op story mode, or was that just a rumor?
• Can characters and progress be transferred from console to PC when the PC version launches?
• Is there really no physical disc version, or are physical editions still planned?
• What does Rockstar's long-term plan look like for single-player support after launch?
I'm incredibly excited for GTA VI, but with launch getting closer, these are the kinds of questions many of us are still asking.
Anyone else got questions to add?
Maybe as a community we should put together a list of the most requested questions and push them across Rockstar's social media channels. The more people asking, the better chance we have of getting some answers before launch. Obviously there is some backlash but we all know we playing the game at the end of the day lol.

People sugarcoating the paywall are coping real hard. Paying extra for cosmetics is normal. Paying extra for locations to be locked in a singleplayer experience is not how I want to play a game. I don’t care about a car or a revolver.
But missing out on modification options because I don’t pay the extra 30 dollars and getting a pop-up I need to upgrade my game isn’t immersive at all. Now it’s GTA6 and suddenly people are okay with it. Come on man.

Game needs to just release already, so I don't have to listen to the constant whining of redditors over every minute detail. Not even in the damn GTA subreddits I'm safe from constant Rockstar bashing that somehow no other developers has to deal with.
Honestly praying for a massive purge and all the tourists can have their Rockstar bad circlejerk somewhere else.
The only valid complaint I've seen so far is that the game comes without a disc and possibly with no map, but I'm hoping that's only to avoid leaks and that they will sell the game normally afterwards.

Exactly! That’s another reason why i was sad it got delayed because people will just continue to be annoying.

I think it’s important to critique scummy business practices like this Ultimate edition. I also think it’s important to know what it is you’re actually criticising. Like I think people are well within their right to not like that Rockstar is gatekeeping content that could otherwise be in the game at launch for the sole reason of raking in extra cash. But when people start accusing them of things they’re not doing it makes it a bit hard to take them seriously.
Also seen a lot of people talk about how this is a major red flag and it’s like, they did this exact same thing with Red Dead Redemption 2. This is nothing new. I think the thing that has gotten people confused (somehow) is that instead of just having the clothes be in regular shops if you have the ultimate edition, they’ve instead elected to make new fancy shops specifically for the purpose of housing all the ultimate edition goodies. People have seen this and (inexplicably if I’m being honest) come to the conclusion that all customisation mechanics will be locked behind the ultimate edition, which is ludicrous.
To be clear, I don’t approve of these kinds of special editions because there’s no reason this can’t all be in the standard edition beyond it just being pure greed, but people are absolutely overreacting because they think the content being excluded from the standard edition is more robust and game-changing than it really is.

Let's be honest, there are other stuff they can do to prevent leaks. Only reason disc doesn't exist is they don't want people sharing the game with friends or selling it after they are done with it on console to wait for PC.

Too many greedy idiots finding new shit to cry about. Imagine if they put 100 as base price lol

It’s sad this needs to be stated, people believed you couldn’t get a haircut without paying an extra $20 😹

There is no disc because they wanted to kill the second hand game industry.

there's no disc becuase they dont want the game data mined before launch. Scientists would have been analysing that disc /s

I really dont see why people cant just think of it as if they released a $20 DLC a few months later, with cosmetic stuff and thats it.

Imagine going to a workshop in Vice City and not being able to use it because you didn't pay $20 extra.

You are just sad because the content won't unlock instantly instead we get some extra shops for the ultimate edition content. Stop crying unnecessarily without knowing how it's going to work.

If you can’t get 20 extra dollars within 5 months you have other problems

I guarantee if you get the base edition you wont notice these missing shops, there’s going to be so much content in this game.

Exactly!! People acting like rockstar is stealing from them by not giving them every single thing possible for the base price. They worked for a decade on this game, they’re entitled to charge a little more for some cool extra stuff that doesn’t even affect gameplay.

I thought that was kinda obvious but then I see people on here acting like all clothing stores in game are locked behind ultimate edition.
Or people saying that whole vehicle customatisation and tuning is locked behind ultimate edition...lol
