If you knew what you know now, would you still get the special edition?

[theEwing1979]

The main reason I purchased the extra content was for the extra mission. I won't spoil too much for those of you that haven't done it yet.... But f*ck me, I was hoping for a bit more depth. It was laughably simple.

I'm glad I didn't fall for Rockstar's marketing scam.

For Take-Two's* marketing scam.

Pretty Ironic considering the name - Take Two.

I'm actually happy. Special editions are for fools. And R* and every dev damn well know that. I'm happy that like ALWAYS I bought the game for the standard price. But it's not the devs fault IMO. If there's a market like this I would take advantage as well. The thing is people should use their minds before buying.

 i even bought the ultimate edition. i didnt do that for the mission but for the horses!

 

and i must say, just for the horses, it was worth it! you can always get it back for free if it dies and both horses are big! 

 

the mission is a joke and all they did was taking a mission away from the full game and make it an extra content.

store discounts and some extra items are no reason for me to buy it.

 

but when i see other aaa games for 60 bucks that offer maybe 20% of what rockstar‘s games offer, i‘ll gladly pay that extra money.

i would send EA/Ubi/etc. a video of me not buying there sh*tty games, but gladly stuffing rockstar some money up there ass!

I would be pissed if Microsoft didn't pay for the upgrade to special edition for me. 

[Fatsanchez]

So, I got the Ultimate edition and really dont regret it at all, but I can’t really recommend it to others because of cost-benefit. The regular edition is already huge on its own. I decided to get it because simply there is no company like Rockstar IMO (maybe cd projekt red). In a world full of EAs, Ubisofts and Konamis, its my little personal “protest”. So I guess yes, I would still get it now. Even if the game didnt 100% live up to my expectations. Maybe 80%.

 

Anyway, what exactly is the extra mission? I heard it was the Del Lobo hideout (which I havent reached yet), is that it?

If so, what happens to folk with the regular version? Do they got a empty fort in their game?

Spoiler tags just in case

I was cautious buying the ultimate edition. Not so much the bonus content was sought, I wanted the tin case. 

 

I was worried more that story mode wouldn't be fully fledged out, but that was clearly not the case. The game is more than I imagined, so I'm pleased as punch.

 

(With respect as £90 is a lot for many. But in the previous 5 years, I'd not spent that on all my PS4 games, lol. So I don't mind a splurge. I get that it's not worth £40 for a couple of missions though).

 

But Yeah, looking back. I'm happy as can be, that tin is nice.

Yeah, I don't buy that crap. R* and T2 are in it together now. Makes too much money, and most developers are up to all sorts too, so these guys are.

 

Gamers let 'em. Look, I did.

[CrimsonFolo]

What mission was it anyway? I didn't notice any form of special mission and i wished i never bought the special edition now lol.

Nope. I had the standard edition and the fort was full of Del Lobos. Killed them all but wasn't officially a gang hideout

In my opinion, this game is well worth the $100 I paid for it without any extras. So yeah, I'd pay it again in a heartbeat.

[Dr.Rosenthal]

Same, I paid full price for the SE, but I don’t feel bad about it. For having made a game this f*cking good, I’ll gladly throw money at R*.

[LittleJesus]

Sometimes I regret the $2,500 pesos I paid for, but then I look again at the world map and everything is worth to me again I just can't imagine the standard map hanging in my wall gotta say it was like a "downgrade" from previous maps'.

I mean I enjoyed the mission quite frankly, obviously not worth the amount I paid for but I'm not going to complain about it, 100 dollars and so far I'm 0.3% away from 100% completion with over 100 hours of gameplay. I got my money's worth with that alone. Plus the bonuses gave me perks for online which I'm sure will keep me even more occupied. 

[Smokewood]

I bought the ultimate edition because I know I will be spending hours upon hours online and I fully expect single player DLC as well. 

I have no issues spending $100 on this kind of quality.

I loved GTA V and still play GTAO.

I waited a few days after launch and got an opened SE with unused code for $50 shipped on ebay. Not a bad deal for me.

Sweet result.

 

I've found that the codes didn't just give me the bonuses, but my lads account and my 2nd both too. (Neither has PS+ and are secondary users).

 

No complaints there.

[RayD70]

Bought the Ultimate Edition as soon as it was offered and do not regret it.

 

A game of this quality that will keep me engaged for years is worth it to me. The horses are fantastic, and I'm sure it helped me a ton early on having them (I still haven't changed my main Thoroughbred, and probably won't). Getting a couple guns free and early helped too. Not to mention, there's bonuses for online. I'm sure they're not a huge advantage, but for a guy like me, every little bit helps.

 

The mission felt more like a camp activity and really wasn't that great. But if it was, everyone who didn't get it would probably be livid.
