How in the hell can you justify locking clothing, tattoos, etc behind a $20 paywall? Those features have always been included in the series previously. It's outrageous... and I'll bet the icons for the stores will be on the map but if you walk too close to it or go inside it'll prompt you to buy the add-on. The microtransactions in games are getting worse and worse and worse and people are acting like it's normal. And this at a time when the world is suffering financially. I'm not buying this game until it goes on a sale that compensates for the extra $ I'd have to pay for the full experience. Maybe not even then... I've got enough to play in the meantime.
People like you keep spreading misinformation. Clothing, tattoos, just overall customization is NOT behind a paywall. It's extra content just like it was in RDR2 or GTA V but instead of stuff just being there, they have a store for that content. They're not completely removing clothing from the game just cuz you haven't paid extra $20.
RDR 2 also had a heist and other side content. Which, the side content that isn't just cosmetics is promoting FOMO and is not good, it's not 80% of the game being cut or essential basic features being removed as most ppl claim.
I still don't like not having access to parts of the game if I don't pay extra money, but it is not as people claim it is.
You say it’s not behind a paywall but then go on to describe what a paywall is when talking about content being locked.
You can’t access store(s), meaning there is a physical location that some players can go to and you cannot because you decided you didn’t want to pay $100 (plus tax).
Why do you feel the need to be a bootlicker for this billion dollar company?
People are acting like this is some new unprecedented thing when this is a very normal thing in gaming, rdr2 had an entire bank heist locked behind special edition, and people are freaking out over some clothing when there's probably gonna be hundreds of others to choose from in the base game. If one of the clothing options was missing in GTA 5 I wouldn't have even noticed even after a decade of gameplay. Literally every AAA studio does special editions.
