Or, alternatively, it’s $80, but they’ll let you plus it up with some bullshit that doesn’t matter for $20.
Comment on Do you consider GTA VI overpriced?

Reminder that GTAVI costs $100, and you get some of it disabled in the $80 version

Idk if I would call missions and characters on a single-player game “some bullshit that doesn’t matter”

Oh, you’ve never seen the throwaway bonus missions on a game SKU before? Truthfully, no one knows but Rockstar how substantive that extra stuff is. But my gut and past experience tells me that if it was actually worth seeing, they wouldn’t have padded out the list with a bunch of variations on guns and cars, of which there will be many even in the base game, because it’s Grand Theft Auto. The missions that we know about, which you have to read on one or two select pages but they’re not present on others, is some kind of mission around collecting cars for some fence; I’m not losing sleep over not having that and keeping an extra $20 in my pocket.

Tell yourself whatever you like, but it’s kind of sad that after learning that it’s not what you thought it was, you’ve doubled down

I’m not gonna buy either because fuck rockstar, but let’s be honest. The game is 80. The other 20 is just for some cosmetics.

“Track down a variety of abandoned classic and work-in-progress project cars and revitalise them to their former glory in this special commission from eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman. Restore these and make them your own, including four vehicles that are only available in the Ultimate Edition.”
So you get 4 extra cars in ultimate. I’d hardly call those missions, but meh.
The rest is just other vehicles, skins, tattoos, etc.
Also “PTT Youngin$ Compound and Scores
One of Leonida’s loudest and most socially active gangs, the PTT Youngin$ grow premium hydroponics in places you’d least expect. Find a way to raid the PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store in Southside Vice City and escape safely to score some special items and distinct contraband. "
Sort of sounds like a mission as well, but in the style of those “? " on the map in open world games that take 5 mins at max.

From what I understand, it provides access to a handful of shops in game. This is where you get the clothes/tattoos/etc. The shops are present in the $80 version, but you can only access them after paying extra. I would absolutely call that locking content behind a paywall.
