This is what they did with Red Dead Redemption, and I assure you they will do the same with GTA V. Quote me on this.

Didn't do it with Max Payne 3 as far I remember. I could be wrong though.

Why Rockstar? I had a thought that they would hop on to the DLC bandwagon. This is a joke, 'special editions' shouldn't add anything to the game, it's unfair to others who don't want to get ripped off by paying extra for something that isn't even worth much. I just hope GTA V doesn't have any DLC, or else it will be like an EA game.

 

It's just a gimmick, "pay us extra and we'll give you things that only took a day to complete". Sure GTA V will be bigger than any other game, but I thought Rockstar was different, and knew fans wouldn't want to have heaps of DLC shoved at them and told "we removed this so you have to buy it again!".

No, stop complaining. It seems whatever they do, someone has to complain about something.

I'm gonna complain about their marketing. Not the game. The game should be 100% of what you pay for. Not broken into parts that you need to pay extra just to access certain things. That's f*cking retarded.

I don't see how like 3 vehicles and some extra clothes really make that big of a difference. Maybe the guns, sure, but most of these are just minor add-ons, and it doesn't really matter. Considering the amount of work put into this game, they deserve all the money they get, and i'm definitely pre-ordering the special edition. Also, games have been doing this for quite a while now, and i'm pretty sure nothing is going to change. Hell, it's probably going to get worse as time goes on.

These add-ons should be for the game. They took it out so people will buy the Special edition. The regular edition isn't 100%. You can't defend this in anyway.

I just did, by saying it doesn't matter at all. If you want to cry over a few small things, go ahead. This thread is pointless and you know it's just going to cause a flame war, but it was made anyway. You're still getting the game, and it's funny how after all the amazing stuff they've shown us and are putting into this game, you're whining about a few extra add-ons. I guess complainers will find just about anything to complain about.

 

And when you said "You can't defend this in any way", that sounds a bit stubborn and one sided.

BUT THE BENZ
I seriously don't see the problem.

 

What is in the game is in the game. The bonus content is just extra junk that you get as a bonus for getting the Special/Collector's Edition, along with the non-game stuff it comes with. On top of that, the bonus content will be available a few months later for free. This is what they did with Red Dead Redemption, and I assure you they will do the same with GTA V. Quote me on this.

On that note, I won't be buying the collector's edition. I'm as big of a GTA fan as the next guy; but I'm not into the whole merch thing. I'm a fan of other products for that stuff.

 

I had no idea the content would be free down the road.

The content won't be free down the road, only cheaper I assume. Sales and bundles and what not. That is judging by their latest game, Max Payne 3. Don't know how they handled DLC for RDR. I just bought the main game and was satisfied with that

I guess I will buy the collectors edition then. After all, it will end up being a 5+ year wait. I don't care for all of the merch though. It seems like stuff that will just end up cluttering my space.

RDR has a few free packs, don't assume this won't either.

Here's just my two cents. And I ain't going to check this thread a lot just to see what people say and think. This is just again my opinion.

 

I was really wanting to get the Collectors edition. But the price of it made me think, nah not worth it. Am I going to sit here and piss and moan about it? No. No one's forcing me to get the game period. All these are just simple choices that we all make. No one's forcing you to get the game, no one's forcing you to get either one of the special editions.

 

Did they cut this stuff out of the game? Who's to say. Sure they prolly did. But am I going to sit here and piss and moan about it, no. I even pre ordered the special edition today. Just cause I think I can make do with that. Will it probably go on the game in a game of the year edition, or go on the market places to buy? Probably...But again no one is FORCING us to get any of this in the first place. If you want it..great...get it.. if not to frakking bad. I'm even unemployed and spending a little extra to get the special edition.

 

Like many people have said, Rockstar is in a business. And whats the whole concept of a business? Oh ya, to make a profit. That's the whole point of a business. To stand out above the crowd and to make a profit. Who cares if they "took stuff out of the game" to sell it in special/collectors editions. If it bothers you that much..GET THEM.. if not..wait.. don't just sit here and bitch about this stuff. You won't change anything. This stuff is already set into motion and nothing will change that. No matter what, Rockstar is going to make a killing off just the normal version of GTA. And like someone else said, they've spent 5 years working on what could be one of the best games out there. I cant blame them for trying to make some extra cash out of it. Who cares....If they can get away with it so be it. More power to them. If the game completly sucks a$$ then i'll be a little upset about having gotten the special edition. But honestly I don't think there will be any regrets.

 

Again it just boils down to, if you want it sooner, go get it, if not stop bitching and taking up valuable space on the forum from some dumb b.s like this thread. Good day.

Pretty sure they did. There was some Gorilla Warfare (yes, Gorilla) pack, and I think something else that were free and I'm pretty sure were originally pre-order bonuses.

 

Red Dead Redemption definitely had the pre-order stuff for free some ways down the road.

Listening to you guys argue is giving me a MIGRAINE.

 

 

redx165 you are the biggest crybaby out of everyone it seems. Or maybe you are just trolling. I dont know. I know for a fact that if you worked for Rockstar and spent the last 5 years of YOUR LIFE tirelessly working/editing/RE-editing/adjusting/designing/imagining non-stop for the greatest game of all time. I know you would not blink twice when they suggested charging for a Special/Collectors Edition.

 

Sure they are pining for more dough and the collectors edition is WAY over priced, but if anyone (and I mean ANYONE) was more justified in charging for extra in-game content and not receiving whining and complaining because of their already established sterling videogame creation workethic its Rockstar Games. No?

 

I could understand this type of woman like emotional outburst directed at EA or Ubisoft. But this is Rockstar North they are worth it.

You are one of the dumbest brain washed people that play games. Back in the early days developers would put everything in a game. Back then that's when gaming was right. Its their job to do that. They don't work tirelessly. Fact is making a game isn't as hard as you think. You just need a lot of people and time.

 

cp1dell Red Dead Redemption pre order dlc wasn't free when it came out. It was $2

 

 

The-San-Andreas-man You still can't defend that. Its like going to McDonald and asking for a hamburger and only getting a bun. The meat is extra. Its just a poor way for them to make money. There's a difference with one crying and one not liking what someone did. I think you need to learn the difference. If it wasn't for people like me we wouldn't of got property. A lot of people complain about it and Rockstar realize their mistake.

Half the stuff in the special/collectors editions are already in the game. The clothing and tattoo's are already in the game as Rockstar stated, these bonuses add different style of clothing and tatts, even though i'm not optimisitc about them at all. So they actually HAVE completed the actual game.

Are you being serious right now?

 

You're comparing this with paying for a hamburger and only getting the bun. That is the stupidest comparison i've ever seen in my life, you want to know why? When you pay for this game, you're GETTING THE GAME. The entire storyline, the entire map, multiplayer, and so on. That's quite a bit for 60$, especially considering they've been developing this game for around 4 years now and have put a lot of effort into it.

 

All they did was remove a few freaking customization options and a few guns, not the entire game. Honestly, please think before you type because you're just being a stubborn, ignorant, one-sided moron. If it were like your comparison, we'd get the disc, but then pay an extra fee to play the game. That's not what this is, and you're blowing it way out of proportion. It's not like any of this is going to really affect you AT ALL, and after all the hard work they've put in and after they finally gave into our whining and gave us extra features from the delay, you complain about a few things being taken out.

 

Honestly, you are extremely spoiled. Your expectations is that you want Rockstar to give you this game on a damn silver platter and maybe wipe your *ss while you're playing as well. So go ahead and complain about the stupidest things, while I show my support for Rockstar and give them an extra 20 bucks for all there hard work and get a few extra features, while you sit in a corner and cry about not having a few extra tattoos like an idiot.

Like I said you can't defend a company taking content away from you. I'll continue to complain and keep gaming alive. Once I leave with many others then gaming would be dead cause everyone is to scared to stick up for themselves.

Once again, did you not even comprehend what I typed? "You can't defend it", I clearly have multiple times at this point, it's just you being stubborn and choosing not to except it. I'm not going to repeat myself multiple times just because you choose to ignore all of it, so read my post again, and take the time to understand it. You're acting like you have to pay to access the other half of the map, when that isn't going on. Go ahead, buy the retail edition, you'll barely notice the difference considering these are just add-ons and don't affect ANYTHING.

 

You say you're doing this for the good of gaming eh? You just sound like a spoiled brat who always wants his way. "Oh no, the company who has spent years making an amazing game packed full of content and even delayed the game just to cater to our complaints is taking away some freaking tattoos! Better go cry about it!".

Gorilla Warfare wasn't a pre order bonus and graveyard map wasn't free. Still these in-game items are part of edition so I doubt they will be free as they are not pre order stuff. The classic character pack from Max Payne 3 was never free if I recall so the GTA character pack at least won't be. Still this is all assumptions. If some are free great if not I'll buy them at some point. Might even buy the R* pass if it's good enough.

Like I said you can't defend a company taking content away from you. I'll continue to complain and keep gaming alive. Once I leave with many others then gaming would be dead cause everyone is to scared to stick up for themselves.

Once again, did you not even comprehend what I typed? "You can't defend it", I clearly have multiple times at this point, it's just you being stubborn and choosing not to except it. I'm not going to repeat myself multiple times just because you choose to ignore all of it, so read my post again, and take the time to understand it. You're acting like you have to pay to access the other half of the map, when that isn't going on. Go ahead, buy the retail edition, you'll barely notice the difference considering these are just add-ons and don't affect ANYTHING.

 

You say you're doing this for the good of gaming eh? You just sound like a spoiled brat who always wants his way. "Oh no, the company who has spent years making an amazing game packed full of content and even delayed the game just to cater to our complaints is taking away some freaking tattoos! Better go cry about it!".

This might sound immature but here we go. You sound like someone who would suck Rockstar's d*ck just cause they tell you so. Thinking taking out content has any good positive things. It don't and that's what you fail to tell me and why I say you can't defend it. Keep trying though cause this is entertaining watching someone try so hard but only fail. I give you a A for effort.

No but I feel tempted to. I would like to get the special edition but £20 more for some dlc is just ridiculous. R* are f*cking their customers with those prices. I wouldn't even mind paying for the extra content but £20 is too much. Most DLCs are £5-£10 and offer much more content than GTA V special edition is offering.

Listening to you guys argue is giving me a MIGRAINE.

 

 

redx165 you are the biggest crybaby out of everyone it seems. Or maybe you are just trolling. I dont know. I know for a fact that if you worked for Rockstar and spent the last 5 years of YOUR LIFE tirelessly working/editing/RE-editing/adjusting/designing/imagining non-stop for the greatest game of all time. I know you would not blink twice when they suggested charging for a Special/Collectors Edition.

 

Sure they are pining for more dough and the collectors edition is WAY over priced, but if anyone (and I mean ANYONE) was more justified in charging for extra in-game content and not receiving whining and complaining because of their already established sterling videogame creation workethic its Rockstar Games. No?

 

I could understand this type of woman like emotional outburst directed at EA or Ubisoft. But this is Rockstar North they are worth it.

You are one of the dumbest brain washed people that play games. Back in the early days developers would put everything in a game. Back then that's when gaming was right. Its their job to do that. They don't work tirelessly. Fact is making a game isn't as hard as you think. You just need a lot of people and time.

 

cp1dell Red Dead Redemption pre order dlc wasn't free when it came out. It was $2

 

 

The-San-Andreas-man You still can't defend that. Its like going to McDonald and asking for a hamburger and only getting a bun. The meat is extra. Its just a poor way for them to make money. There's a difference with one crying and one not liking what someone did. I think you need to learn the difference. If it wasn't for people like me we wouldn't of got property. A lot of people complain about it and Rockstar realize their mistake.

Are you being serious right now?

 

You're comparing this with paying for a hamburger and only getting the bun. That is the stupidest comparison i've ever seen in my life, you want to know why? When you pay for this game, you're GETTING THE GAME. The entire storyline, the entire map, multiplayer, and so on. That's quite a bit for 60$, especially considering they've been developing this game for around 4 years now and have put a lot of effort into it.

 

All they did was remove a few freaking customization options and a few guns, not the entire game. Honestly, please think before you type because you're just being a stubborn, ignorant, one-sided moron. If it were like your comparison, we'd get the disc, but then pay an extra fee to play the game. That's not what this is, and you're blowing it way out of proportion. It's not like any of this is going to really affect you AT ALL, and after all the hard work they've put in and after they finally gave into our whining and gave us extra features from the delay, you complain about a few things being taken out.

 

Honestly, you are extremely spoiled. Your expectations is that you want Rockstar to give you this game on a damn silver platter and maybe wipe your *ss while you're playing as well. So go ahead and complain about the stupidest things, while I show my support for Rockstar and give them an extra 20 bucks for all there hard work and get a few extra features, while you sit in a corner and cry about not having a few extra tattoos like an idiot.

It don't and that's what you fail to tell me and why I say you can't defend it. Keep trying though cause this is entertaining watching someone try so hard but only fail. I give you a A for effort.

Okay, now I see what you mean, you could've just said that damn it lol.

 

So taking out content is bad in your opinion. Let me break this down for you nice and slowly. Content is weighted differently. For example, say they took out half the clothes options and made it so that you have to pay. That would be annoying and I wouldn't, as you blindly assumed, suck R's d*ck for it, and i'd probably be on your side right now. Now, the things that they are "taking away" (who's to say it was even going to be in the game in the first place? Maybe it's an ADD ON?) is like, 1 weapon, a few tattoos and clothes, 3 vehicles, and some stupid flight challenges.

 

Would you rather have an online pass included instead of any of that? Would you rather MORE taken out? No, you wouldn't. All they're doing is removing a few things that don't make a difference, because none of it matters. Are you really going to be spending your time in game getting tattoos and clothes for 8 months? No, so what difference does it make that a few are taken away?

 

You see this as like, it couldn't get any worse. It's wrong and corrupt and greedy, when you fail to realize it could be MUCH WORSE. Instead they took out a few irrelevant things that don't make a difference PERIOD, and put it in the special edition for an extra 20 bucks.

 

Another thing you failed to acknowledge in any of your posts is how you should be grateful to R* for listening to our complaints and actually putting effort into their games. They aren't like cod or battlefield with short as hell development times. They are putting so much work and content into this game, and you won't show your support by paying an extra 20 bucks for a few extra add-ons?

 

If not, don't buy it, and nothing will change. It's still the exact same game, no difference. Is that clear enough for you? Because i'm sick and tired of repeating it, only for you to be like "You can't defend it, you're failing.", when it's you who's just being stubborn and not even acknowledging my side of the argument.

 

Go ahead, buy the regular edition, show your support for gaming (lmao) by saying you don't care how much R* has listened to your complaints about no properties and what not, and instead you're going to complain about a few things that you for some reason think will affect anything. Like your own signature says, you can't fight change, and it could be a lot worse.

 

Hopefully you don't just re-word your last comment like you've been doing for the past hour and actually consider my views, as I am to you. I don't really want to get into a flame war into this, and I mean no offense or disrespect, because as you've already said, this is a forum, a place to speak our minds.

No, he sounds like someone that isn't throwing a fit over some petty content. Seriously, this isn't even that bad. There are other developers that have Day 1 DLC and bonuses that are a lot worse than this, and actually detract from the game.

I said in another post I'm force to buy the Special edition. I didn't research that with RDR and had to wait a year before I got all the pre-order stuff. ( I don't want to make the same mistake twice. ) But why I'm getting mad over this is cause if you let them do it once without anyone complaining they'll continue to do it without even thinking. Sure I won't being using tattoos but that doesn't mean others won't. Not towards Rockstar - ( This is why I hate this generation of gaming. So many companies are greedy and do this for every game. AC4 and COD G to name two of them. )

I see your point, and if they start doing this in the future and take more out, then i'll be mad. But for now, it's alright. Just enjoy the game.

Everyone on the forum is acting like this is the first time in history this has happened.

 

This happen to every game in this age.

 

Complaining will do nothing about it.

 

We normal people will just simply BUY the game and enjoy it.

Who wants to pay for clothing, tattoos and guns? All that should be in the god damn game!

 

 

Newsflash: Clothing tattoos and guns are in the game. nervous.gif

I've made my point more than once. Taking out things from the game, calling them extras and selling them for more money is a f*cking sham. I can't believe how ignorant you people can be. If it's beneficial for Rockstar to follow the way of marketing that other videogame companies are going by, then they are gonna do it. In the end it's all about the money, not the fans. Sad to say Rockstar disappointed me for the first time in GTA history.

“Pursuit of the almighty dollar” - Creator Dan Houser

 

wow.gif Dan Houser said it years ago.. and now people realize it.

 

But seriously, SE may suck but CE is worth it IMO. It is overpriced though, but GTA wont come for the next 6 years. Decision is yours.

It's not worth it. All the ingame extra stuff will be dlc and the other stuff is dumb crap. It's way too overpriced, and a stupid waste of money.

How dumb are you gonna feel if this game gets a GOTY or Complete edition for the same price as the regular game after half a year or so? You've wasted all that money on a poster and a hat. I could buy those from the Warehouse after the game's released, no doubt. The hat in particular. This whole "early access" crap is just a cheat you pay for with real money. And in my opinion not worth it. I could enable cheats and get all these advantages for free, or at least most of them.

I am shocked. Here in the UK, the prices are:

 

£39.99 - Standard Edition.

£64.99 - Special Edition.

£149.99 - Collector's Edition.

 

When these were announced yesterday, I figured the Special Edition was the way to go. I like having physical maps, and the couple of extra missions and features might be nice. But really, +£25? I could buy a whole other game for that. The collector's edition is equally stupidly priced, but at least that comes with some physical items of at least some worth. This is money grubbing, plain and simple.

 

You'll have my money Rockstar, but only the bare minimum. Ridiculous.

The whole blimp thing is alright I suppose. Everyone who pre orders (any edition) will get access to it. It's just an incentive to get people to pre order. It does suck though...everyone should be able to fly it pre order or not. I'm sure Rockstar will let others fly it at some point down the line. It could appear as a couple £/$ DLC. I don't agree with it. It should be in the game for everyone. This is the DLC age though and at the end of the day Rockstar/Take Two is a business and want to make money.

 

The special edition contains:

 

ADDITIONAL stunt plane trials. Sounds like there will be trials in the game but you'll get some more with this bonus.

• Unique clothes/tattoos and special deals - there will be a lot of clothes/tattoos already in the game and these bonus ones will probably be stupid crazy sh*t no one would want to be seen wearing. Trevor is wearing that ridiculous flame shirt. I'd never wear that sh*t. The special deals...we don't need deals/discounts. We'll be doing heists so we can afford to pay full price for weapons/cars etc and if not then just stick in a cheat.

• Ability booster - 25% faster regen. This just makes the game a little bit easier. I like a challenge so this is no use.

• bonus weapons - a .50 pistol, bullpup shot gun and a hammer. I can live without them. There will be plenty of guns/weapons in the game.

 

The exclusive edition offers:

 

• classic GTA characters to play as online - I'll make my own.

• 2 new cars, a bike and a garage - no thanks.

 

No doubt all this will be released as DLC later on for those who don't buy the special/collectors edition. Rockstar can make all the digital content exclusive FOR NOW and rake in thousands from the special/collector editions. Release them as DLC later on and make even more money. People will buy them. It will all be in the GOTY/complete edition when the rest of the DLC is out.

 

I see nothing there that I need now. I will buy the COMPLETE edition when it comes out. All the physical stuff isn't worth it either. A steel case? Cool. A map? We'll get a map/poster as always. A box? What???, a hat? Don't wear them, a bag? Nope.

 

 

I will be pre ordered the standard edition. Don't see the point in paying an extra £25/55 for sh*t I don't need and stuff that will be part of the complete edition in a couple years.

What I don't get is it goes up a small amount.. then BOOM £65 to £150.. rip off
