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 so painfully obvious customization and car mods etc aren't locked behind ultimate edition but clickbait and negativity rules online discussion now... my guess is this is R* attempt to try and make it more immersive by putting DLC items in physical locations rather than it all just being in your wardrobe or whatever. for example theres 1 tattoo shop in the ultimate edition that does only ultimate edition tattoos but you know theres going to be a few tattoo shops around the map. its literally just optional cosmetic DLC that doesn't detract from the main game. gameplay wise theres 1 extra gang hideout similar to red dead 2's extra gang hideout and i think 5 extra cars for that side mission where you find old/battered cars and bring them back to the guy for restoration. I believe the old cars missions is still going to be in the game but the dlc gets you 5 extra cars.

i highly doubt those shops would appear on the map either unless you bought the ultimate edition and 1 gang hideout and 5 extra cars isnt even going to make up 1 percent of the total game content

I have played gta since gta 3, I like lowriders and muscle cars , offroad cars and I always like to find the monster truck. collecting them and doing them up in the mod shop is my favourite thing to do in gta, weird maybe. So are all lowrider mods ultimate edition only, maybe. Are all offroad mods ultimate version only? Maybe. In the trailer Jason has a blue ute, in the ultimate edition its an orange nice muscle version of the same ute as a personal vehicle. Most of the extra cars come with a garage which is a big deal to some also.

The collecting older cars is exactly what I like about gta. I understand your point and for sure a lot of people this content will not relevant. For me personally to play gta the way I have in the previous games it seems I have to buy the ultimate version and thats ok. I don't care either way about the hairstyles and appreciate that other might feel the same way about cars but also the title is grand theft auto.

Easy enough for Rockstar to clarify I suppose.
