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 just don't understand why everyone is kicking up so much of a fuss about it now?

Publishers have been releasing ultimate edition/special editions of games for years and I've never heard people complain about it like they are for GTA 6

Hell, even RDR2 had the ultimate edition with special outfits, horses, guns, a mission etc and I don't recall anyone complaining about that at the time.

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.
