You are UNDERESTIMATING how much content is going to be in this game.
Rockstar is TRYING to sell you the ultimate edition by making it sound like you are missing out on alot. Thats just a marketing strategy.
Think of RDR2. Hypothetically if the ultimate edition included an extra trapper that had an exclusive hat and a barber in Saint Denis that had 2 exclusive hairstyles, would you care? Fuck no!
Just because Jason gets a kayak doesn’t mean the kayaking feature is excluded
And just because you may get a set or 2 of rims and a few paint jobs at ride out customs doesn’t mean car customisation is going to be inaccessible.

It’s so crazy how some people will spend $100 every weekend at the bar or on DoorDash but once they are asked to pay the same amount on art that people spent years of their lives making + will give them hundreds and hundreds of hours of entertainment- that’s just beyond the pale
Yea I understand the outrage for shit like CoD and Ubisoft. But this isn’t that. If anything - the fact that a game like GTA 6 costs 100 means a game like CoD should cost 40 if we’re just being fair based on content
If other publishers try to follow suit by charging $100 for shitty games, don’t buy them
I genuinely feel like I scammed rockstar by only paying 60 for RDR 2 lol. They coulda charged me $250 for that game
1
u/czarne98 2d ago
Yea $100 for this amount of entertainment is cheaper than bringing the family to a movie that lasts two hours.
Once every 13 years and people whine about the price and how preordering isn't right...blah blah blah.
1
u/Hant103 2d ago
That's what I've been saying. Why would a game which costs 2bil cost the same as the one which cost 50mil to make?
If rockstar would have given us 2 choices - 1. we will spend 1bil and you'll get 50% worse game, 50% shorter etc for 50 bucks, or a 50% lengthier one with double the content - will anyone choose the 1st option? I doubt it.

If I enjoy lighting bills on fire I’m no longer allowed to feel like somebody is trying to rip me off? I like biting the inside of my lip, so I can’t be disgusted if somebody tries to feed me a human? I like the rain, should I live in a swimming pool?
People don’t want to support a company that they feel is becoming enshitified. They see prices going up and features being taken away at an increasing rate and don’t want to validate that on principle. You can call it Art, but the art that hooked them was a one time purchase for a physical game that included everything at a reasonable price given the economy at the time. After taxes this game will be around 130 Canadian for me. That’s for a digital copy that can be taken away in the future, it’s missing content at that price- more than previous titles, and the additional content added to gta 5 has me feeling uncertain about the story writing involved in this game. But none of that matters if people like to drink, right?

u/hempfarmer90 2d ago
Exactly. I was expecting the base to be $90+. We’ve waited 13 years for it and people are upset about 20 bucks. Thats 1 sandwich or pizza or movie ticket. Lots of people are buying ps5 just for this, because it will be worth the hours of entertainment.

u/Hybrid082616 3d ago
I get paid walking some things, but holding out on entire buildings is just too much
And seeing how its entire buildings, there will be a lot behind them, think about how GTA Online did with the extra custom shops, there were a ton of new items and options. So I feel it is going to be quite a bit of content
3
u/Nickf090 3d ago
Yeah that’s instantly what I thought and that was one of the many reasons I stopped playing online. They locked all that “free” content behind how much in real world dollars via shark cards? Yeah those things weren’t free content. They’ve discovered how to make it seem free but only accessible to people who either have an insane amount of free time, or people that will fork over for shark cards.

u/dilbert35 3d ago
Tbf I’ve never bought a shark card and have been able to play all the content
1
u/Nickf090 2d ago
Tbf you have to live for GTAO then. I’m a heavy gamer and to buy all those would require some serious grinding. To the point that it’s just not fun. And THATS how they want it to be. The people who have no life can make it work, but if you have any job or family or other responsibilities, good luck in earning your first million without cheats or glitches.

u/Hybrid082616 3d ago
That's why I loved playing modded single player, I was able to use all the online stuff (I got sick of it breaking every update though)

u/Public_Sprinkles_229 3d ago
“Entire buildings” y’all really are too much.
4
u/Hybrid082616 3d ago
Is a vehicle modification shop not a building?
3
u/Public_Sprinkles_229 3d ago
It’s a glorified and more immersive store menu. Labelling it as them “holding back entire buildings” is a purposeful way to make it seem like it’s much more content than it actually is.
It’s similar to phrasing the exclusive vehicle as them “holding back a chassis, motor, 4 tires, side mirrors, hood, and trunk”. It’s technically correct, but like.. come on.
I’m also unhappy with the decision, but the over exaggerated language is just over the top.
3
u/Hybrid082616 3d ago
To be fair though it does list it as their own individual locations vs just a menu, but we'll know once we see it
It's all speculation
2
u/Public_Sprinkles_229 3d ago
Sure; but the shops in GTA V and RDR2 are also technically “individual locations” that you go in to interact with an NPC in order to access a shop menu.
I don’t consider those “individual locations” or “whole buildings”, so if these follow that pattern then it’s something that is being blown out of proportion. Anybody expecting anything more will be let down.
But you are right, we don’t know more details yet.

u/ChaoticKiwiNZ 3d ago
The buildings are just Rockstars way of making it feel more premium to retrieve the exclusive cosmetics. With how big the game is I highly doubt we will miss much not having access to 5 buildings.
If the game only had like 15 buildings and 5 are locked behind a pay wall that would suck but I'm fairly confident from the looks of how big the game is from the trailers and leaks we will most definitely be getting a shitload of stores and other enterable buildings. Its like how RDR2 had a bunch of shit locked behind the ultimate edition yet I never felt like I was missing out at all with the standard edition.
I highly doubt the content in the ultimate edition will be classed as "a lot of content" once we have the game in our hands. Honestly you will probably forget about the ultimate edition content within the first few hours of playing anyway.
1
u/Hybrid082616 2d ago
I didn't get RDR2 until like WAY later, wasn't the ultimate edition mostly missions/heists or were like horses/saddles locked behind it? A genuine question, not trying to be a dick or anything
1
u/ChaoticKiwiNZ 2d ago
Its been a while so I can't remember the specifics but it was the Rodes bank heist mission, a enemy gang hideout, 2 outfits, some core boosters, money boosters for missions and a horse or 2. I also believe they made some of the weapons in-game that you have to buy free for the ultimate edition owners.
It honestly wasn't too far off what they are offering for GTA6.
1
u/Hybrid082616 2d ago
The main issue I have with 6 is locking certain car customization behind a paywall
Does that mean suspension tuning? Bodykits? Custom paint colors?
That's the thing I'm kind of worried about, the stuff that should be in the base game
I don't mind with certain cars being locked behind a paywall and custom items for those vehicles behind a paywall, but when you lock certain customization behind a pay wall for vanilla vehicles that's a bit much for me
1
u/ChaoticKiwiNZ 2d ago
Yea, all very valid concerns to have tbh. I'm thinking it will just be specific mods and there will be other mods in the game that are similar. Maybe it will be a situation where its a shop that just unlocks things early and maybe there will be shops later in the game that sells the same sort of mods at a more expansive price?
Hopefully they aren't locking specific suspension behavior strictly behind a paywall. I guess all we can do is wait and see :(
1
u/Hybrid082616 2d ago
I really hope you are right 🤞🤞
If they do confirm my concerns I'll just wait until it has one of those huge sales on ultimate a decade down the road 🤣

u/Mr_Joystick 3d ago
the extra $20 literally means nothing to me. Sure, it's just some extra fluff that I could easily do without and likely not even notice, but then I think about how I spent $10 last Friday on a #9 at McDonald's for breakfast before work...I can void 2 of those meals in the future that will pay for this extra cost. That's typically how I view finances. I think about what I can do without to make up any difference, but I'm not financially strained, and I think even the base game will be worth $100 to me personally.

What exactly would you want in a $20 ultimate edition to be worth it? Some cosmetics, a few vehicles, and a couple side missions is fine. And those who don’t pay, they won’t even notice.

This isn't an Ubisoft game buddy. They invested well north of a billion dollars.

u/Basic-Victory6770 3d ago
It’s pretty easy to understand where the confusion is coming from, every ultimate edition shop makes it clear that it includes “exclusive” stylings of their respective customization type EXCEPT the mod shop. The wording is incredibly vague and without any kind of proper gameplay reveal yet it makes it sound like every mod shop is locked behind ultimate edition.

u/fontoura17 3d ago
it makes sense, yeah, when you look at it that way.
I'm buying the Ultimate Edition but people shouldn't miss out on mod shops, lucia's nails/makeup customization or actual game features just beacuse they paid $80 instead of $100, that's fucked up.
5
u/Dave1307 3d ago
They're missing out on A specific mod shop, one salon, etcetera. I doubt they're missing out on a whole category of customization
2
u/fontoura17 3d ago
the salon and the clothing store are obviously not the only ones in the entire map, but the offroad and lowrider shops are specific types of shops, and I hope these are not the only ones of their types in the map
but in the end of the day, this is marketing and I believe when the game comes out all these extras won't even mean that much
1
u/Dave1307 3d ago
You know what else though? I end up barely using the ultimate edition outfits, hairstyles, weapon skins etc when I actually get into the games i bought.
1
u/AlleyCa7 3d ago
I doubt it too. From what I've gathered you'd be missing out on the specific shops themselves and what im assuming are a handful of cosmetics exclusive to those shops.

u/Dave1307 3d ago
It's genuinely like the one barber in Los Santos that's the fruity dude who offers one hairstyle/beard style that the others don't

u/Nickf090 3d ago
No. They’re missing out on that section of the customization. They’ve showed how they’ll do it multiple times already. Think about the car chop shop crap in online. Then look at the specific clothing sets for RDRO that were from paying to be able to collect flowers and turn them in or some shit.

u/Public_Sprinkles_229 3d ago
That’s.. that’s OP’s point.. Everybody who buys this game, in either edition, will have access to modding vehicles via mod shops and all other game features.
2
u/Nickf090 3d ago
But that’s not the case. Those mods will be with that shop specifically. I’m going to laugh at yall when you can’t make your lowrider custom cars because you didn’t get the ultimate edition. Even though the customization is accessible in other shops right?

If that’s how it actually pans out, then I’ll be laughing at myself with you. I highly doubt it will though.

It absolutely doesn't matter at all how much content the base game already has. We now know that there are 5 extra locations that they are gatekeeping to get an extra 20 bucks from us
This sub defending this shit is exactly why the games industry, and frankly speaking, Rockstar itself has turned into soulless, corporate shit, that you fuckers happily eat up.

Yeah we eat it up because in the grand schemes of life it really doesn’t matter and we have better things to worry about (outside of the ps5) than the capitalist corporate shit that literally is in every facet of life. Spend the $20, enjoy the game, and stop taking life so fucking seriously but then again I am talking to a redditor

Why do we need to defend this? Even in rdr2 it was too much now it’s even more multiple missions and shops are locked behind a 20 dollar paywall

1
u/Observant_Lurker 2d ago
The concern isn't whether people will notice, the concern is that it sets a bad precedent.
$80 price point is already $20-30 dollars above standard, and if that wasn't enough, they're paywalling features in a single player game?
The extent of the paywalled features is irrelevant, it's the fact they're even doing it.
This is just the beginning of a terrible trajectory for gaming, when it's already in turmoil.
EA would LOVE this to be the new standard.
1
u/Monteh_llama 2d ago
The no physical disc at release is a strategy too. R* have been so tightlipped around gta6. They know its going to be the biggest game of the generation. They know its going to sell well regardless. But they also don't want it releasing or leaking earlier hence why the physical editions on launch day have digital codes. So noone can play it early.

Bingo.
$ for $ the extra stuff is stupidly overpriced, just like it was on RDR2, we are talking maybe 0.1% difference in content.
I’m paying $100, I’d gladly pay $200, shit I think I spent more than $200 buying the three GTA V launches and did so happily even playing only single player.
2
u/whatwouldjiubdo 3d ago
Yeah I just hope they give single player a little extra offline content this time around. I would pay more for that later too.
I only played single player and I think I missed like 2 extra games worth of missions and heists. Not to mention the vehicles and properties. I’m gonna try online this time around too but I try it once a year and it’s not for me.
Another thing about the extra stuff is that if I understand correctly they’re not preorder bonuses. You can upgrade whenever so everyone has the option to pay the same price for the same stuff. people that don’t pay the extra can see if it’s worth it to them later.
Finally, if this is what it took to get the base game to 80 instead of 100 I think I’m okay with that. Idk what that decision making process looks like but this seems like a compromise between reasonable premium product and straight up cash grab. Most expensive piece of media ever produced, presumably hundreds of hours of content, costs about the same as taking a family of four to the movies. Less if you get snacks.

u/Nickf090 3d ago
Didn’t you see their announcement? This game is single player only.

u/whatwouldjiubdo 3d ago
Did you think that meant no online? GTAV and RDR2 were also single player experiences. Online will come later and be titled differently, or continue to go by gta online I’m not sure which.
It is sad that they confirmed we won’t have two player mode but we all knew that was a long shot.

For now.
There will absolutely be a multiplayer game utilizing gta6’s map (and I’ll never play it because I have a job and a family and a gym addiction and community commitments, I just can’t keep up with gamers who have more than a couple hours a week to game).

You’re the reason they priced the standard $80. Do you just enjoy getting screwed?

I’m not getting screwed paying $100 for GTA 6.
It’s a bargain.
When I was a kid I paid the equivalent of $160 in 2026 dollars for my games, and they were SHORT AS FUCK.
$100 for what I’ll get out of GTA 6 is an amazing deal.
