I am confused, what are the difference between those two? R* is not really clear about that.

 

Ah I see. I doubt I want the online stuff, I mean, it sounds very boring to me.

Since I believe I'll most likely pour hundreds of hours into the Online component just like I did with GTAO, I kinda wanna go for the Ultimate.

 

But looking at the bonuses, I'm honestly not sure if it's worth the extra 15 bucks since I believe (and I hope) that you'll get better stuff once you level up a bit anyway...

I will get the special edition, I was in doubt for a moment but since its all online and only the outfit and the horse is in-game items I assume one can not get otherwise, that alone is not enough for me to pay the extra money.

 

So the special edition it is, and I am also going to chose "Max Payne 3" and "Bully-enhanced edition" as my two games, Bully I do not have and allthough I own Max Payne 3 on steam I only have the base game and not the complete edition.

 

I will add as a sidenote though that as much as I like the extra content to the special edition I do not like the free access to weapons and the extra cash, I like my games to be as hard as possible, most games today are to easy.

Pretty sure the online will be a mess considering R* truely sucks in their sh*tty anti-cheat so the Ultimate Edition is the dumbest thing you can do.

Special Ed. (if the store will ever work 🤨)

Not paying for extras I can earn in game.

I guess I'm not paying for anything, I get the "wait 'til tomorrow, maybe the store will work" version.

Weren't they ready for this?

What did they expect, 5 people quietly waiting their turn?

I want to pre-order the game and play it on November 5th, but this free access stuff is making me think that maybe I should wait for the Steam release.

 

GTA V gave pre-orders bonus cash too, but you could at least disable it with Steam. If I knew that I could do that with the Rockstar Launcher I'd pre-order immediately.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you could just spend your money on junk, and throw the weapons away?

That would work for the money, far from ideal as it is, but from what I've read you can't throw away weapons in RDR2. Furthermore, it says that it gives free access which would presumably suggest that they're always priced at $0 in gun stores.

I bought ultimate edition day one and it wasn't worth it. I don't recommend it. All it gives you are literally two outfits that are as of now very bugged and disappear everytime you join any gamemode... Thing that made it somehow worth it were cash and gold bonuses they gave to ultimate edition owners later, but they expired, and also steelbook and the map, but there's no physical box for PC. Survivalist camp theme you can buy no matter what edition you own, it's just that its free for ultimate edition owners.

I believe you can turn off the special edition bonuses in the settings.

I asked on Rockstar support and they said you can't. I also asked if they could be disabled in-game and they said they didn't have any information atm.

Well they can on console versions so it’d be weird if not

This image suggests that you can disable the some of the gameplay bonuses, but that still says nothing about disabling the free weapons, horses, the treasure map and the survival kit.

 

I reckon I'm just gonna wait until after launch to purchase the game, either in November from Rockstar or in December from Steam, so that I don't have to deal with any of this stuff. The only thing I'll be missing is the gang hideout and the bank robbery, but neither of these seem particularly noteworthy anyway.

It was going to be the Ultimate Edition, but the store kept refusing my transaction. I thought it was some kind of really egregious tax, so I made sure I was like 10 euros over the asking price. Order was still refused, lol. Still no real clue what the issue was, but the Special Edition transaction went through instantly.

Did not know this. Is there a chance they'd fix those for the PC release?
