[QUOTE=darth-veger;40752260]This is just not Rockstar.. [IMG]http://www.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/10-Max-Payne-3-special-edition.jpg[/IMG] This is 100$ As far as i know the weapon are just a instant unlock rather then fully exclusive.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and the statue was a piece of crap. Over time they start to bend at the legs because it couldn't support its own weight.
Wow I didn't expect that. I was even thinking a couple of days ago about how GTA was going to be one of the few AAA games without pre-order bullshit. I really don't like that trend of pre-order DLC and season passes. What happened to buying things [I]after[/I] they're released?
I thought the map of the city was always released with the base game? Oh wait I forgot, those were the PS2 days.
[QUOTE=All0utWar;40753564]I thought the map of the city was always released with the base game? Oh wait I forgot, those were the PS2 days.[/QUOTE] It could still come with a map, afaik.
GTA IV had a map.
As long as they dont take the piss im fine with it. They would be stupid to not explore this kind of stuff to some extent anyway. The exclusive cars dont look that special anyway. Iconic, but not great, as you would expect.
[QUOTE=All0utWar;40753564]I thought the map of the city was always released with the base game? Oh wait I forgot, those were the PS2 days.[/QUOTE] Read man. It's a different map. It's a bluprint map that has easter eggs and other secrets highlighter.
Rockstar what are you doing. Do you want me to lose faith in you too? I already lost faith in valve. Looks like there's no other company to praise :( In-game bonuses are the worst stuff you can plague your players with.
[QUOTE=gdfsgdfg;40757494]Rockstar what are you doing. Do you want me to lose faith in you too? I already lost faith in valve. Looks there's no other company to praise :([/QUOTE] It's just a collectors edition with content that barely affects anything and is completely optional. Literally every company does this.

Sure the content is not worth the 150$ but i do see the point in limited/collectors editions.
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;40757503] Literally every company does this.[/QUOTE] And I don't like it one bit. And my pc jewel case version of far cry 3 agrees I had to patch it so I could play some bonus missions. Did I say that I love PC gaming? Yes I really do you get everything you want on a platter.

The bimp was already in the game, why they made it exclusive?
[QUOTE=Iago;40757806]The bimp was already in the game, why they made it exclusive?[/QUOTE] Looks like the exclusive is just a reskinned blimp.
No artbook? Me sad.

I actually like the way that Los Santos hat looks. Might see if I can try to pick one up after it releases
I [I]need[/I] that hat. [editline]23rd May 2013[/editline] eh, i'll buy standard edition then get the hat off ebay or something
People whine about the dumbest things.
Is the blimp exclusive a re-skin of a blimp or is the actual blimp exclusive?
[QUOTE=Matrix374;40762837]Is the blimp exclusive a re-skin of a blimp or is the actual blimp exclusive?[/QUOTE] Knowing Rockstar it'll be a reskin, it would be so dumb for them to make exclusive vehicles for preorders.
It seems to be €119,99 in Europe, yay for conversion instead of slapping a 150 Euro price ticket on it. [editline]24th May 2013[/editline] €79,99 for the Special edition
[QUOTE=Legend286;40763995]Knowing Rockstar it'll be a reskin, it would be so dumb for them to make exclusive vehicles for preorders.[/QUOTE] Well, it even [i]looks[/i] like a kinda-badly reskinned blimp, so yeah I don't think there's much to worry about on that front. But if it does turn out that the blimp is exclusive to pre-orders, there is going to be a gigantic shitstorm sweeping the internet for weeks after release. I'm pretty sure Rockstar is smarter than that. If the rest of those in-game bonuses are just for singleplayer, I guess I don't mind. It would just be nice if the details weren't so goddamn vague, they could at least specify what's actually exclusive to SE/CE owners and what's just early-unlocks/reskins. I swear every game with special editions or pre-order bonuses has this problem nowadays.

tbh you guys are kinda acting like babies about this
[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;40764897]tbh you guys are kinda acting like babies about this[/QUOTE] Oh well these kind of CE/LE happen often but on big games its suddenly a problem :v:
Cracker teams are gonna make a patch for the "standard" edition to have all the digital content of the Special Edition. [B]IF[/B] Rockstar pulls the same shit with the PC release. And the blueprint map can go meet a architect A1 color scanner.

Will we be able to access the zeppelin with the normal edition?
[QUOTE=proch;40765976]Will we be able to access the zeppelin with the normal edition?[/QUOTE] I think this blimp is just a reskin.
