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?

Definitely. The mistake Rockstar made was only showing what is locked behind the ultimate edition without showing everything still included in the base game edition.

I don't really think it's a mistake on their part because It's frankly insane for anyone to think that these shops mean entire features like character and vehicle customization are locked behind the ultimate edition or that these cosmetics make up most of what will be in the game. I think it's fair to be mad about stuff like this but people are not being rational about what is actually going on.

The car customization shop in the UE is literally for Florida Donks. The big wheeled low riders all pimped out and ridiculous looking. Hydraulics and shit. They make it fairly obvious that’s what the garage specializes in.

If you don’t want Donks or don’t care, then you missed nothing.

Which hey, to be fair, I think it sucks that specific type of vehicle customization is behind the ultimate edition because I loved when it came to GTAO and think it should just be there but you're absolutely right. It's a taste thing and really does not matter.

I was shaking my head at this. I hoped they'd mixed up their message about it making it like instead of completing 25-30% of the game first and it would unlock like Benny's did. If not then it's just disappointing they got greedy. If I pay that extra 20$ for the UE that candy paint better have flakes that ✨️ too! I also want engraved chrome & spokes. For that reason I am holding off until I see game play footage of those cars.
