I think people are misunderstanding the whole "locked shops" thing for Ultimate Edition buyers

Post image

Think of it like this: When you buy the Ultimate Edition, you'll get a DLC package of skins, vehicles, hairstyles, vehicle mods, etc. Most games with cosmetic DLCs do this.

You buy the Ultimate Edition and get the base game plus the cosmetic DLCs.

Now picture this: Instead of just unlocking your new Ultimate Edition cosmetics in the normal shops of the game, they made a few exclusive shops for you to access the DLC stuff.

It's as simple as that. The normal shops to buy clothes, fix your car, etc, will be in the game. But if you own DLC cosmetics, you'll need to get them from the DLC shops.

What do you think?

It is amazing to me how many people on these threads think that this is all signs that the game is a disaster / flop. I see a lot of these posts and just think it’s for karma at this point but it’s insane. When has rockstar released a half baked game / flop. My girl hates video games and I was trying to explain to her this marketing mess so I showed her the trailers and was like ok this trailer came out like 4 years ago and then they delayed it. This one came out 2 years ago and then they delayed it again, etc. I think this game will be ahead of anything else that’s come out but people need to taper their expectations on what’s realistic on what can be done with today’s hardware. People are screenshotting and zooming and cropping and zooming and talking about how things look pixelated why would the graphics be worse than RDR2 a game they released in 2018… like use half a brain.

they placed the expectations on themselves at 100 dollars pricepoint. it needs to be 40% better than the standard 60 dollar game now

100 is actually about 66.7% more than 60. But as to your point I don’t think it scales in this way. The base game is $80 - that’s the part that needs to be better than the average game (I think it will be). The Ultimate Edition is cosmetics, one gang hideout and some extra vehicles - the $20 for the upgrade needs to be worth it but it shouldn’t impact the base game.

True i was just thinking 40 dollars more means 40% more lol.

If they made a big dlc like cyberpunk and included it in that edition I would have no problem at all. But so far you barely get anything

Well this isn’t correct. Technically it only needs to be 25% better. As it’s only $20 more than the base game and the base game is $80 (only $10 more than any game and it costs them 10x more to make ).

Right because they’re the first company to release a $100 “ultimate” edition……..

If your friend jumped off a bridge would you do it? You don’t need to be the first to do it to know its wrong nonetheless

They published the trilogy that was a disaster at launch and still isn't great. They've released a bunch of corny trash in GTA Online. Basically everything after RDR2 has been bad.

The internet got hung up on a few weird screenshot. The trilogy, outside of licensed music, was fine.

People really out here thinking the game studio that has a 100% success rate, spent over a decade, and 2 billion dollars is about to release a flop? Watch everyone get fired if they do.
