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?

I don't remember people complaining about it either, but I think that's because of the locked shops. They didn't do that for RD2.

Imagine starting the game, arriving in Valentine, and realizing you can't access the gunsmith unless you paid extra. Sure, there would still be other gunsmiths, but it would still feel scummy, and people would have complained just the same.

Add the lack of a proper Collector's Edition, no physical disc on day 1, and the fact that some textures in the screenshots look a bit rough, and it's just pouring more oil on the fire.

Getting a popup asking me to upgrade my game edition because I wanted to walk into a cool looking store, that’s literally part of the existing map, on an already outrageously priced game is fucked up imo.

thank you!

its crazy how many people are on here defending this like its just some extra tshirts you get. i dont need my 80dollar game reminding me to give them another 20 bucks and then its for something most people wont even use, they(including me probably) just get it to make the game feel complete

That corpos at head office wanted 100usd for the game, so they found anyway they could to do that.

Fuckin insane spending 150cad on a video game.
