Being annoyed that content is being witheld from you for no good reason is entitlement now? Literally shaking my head at this.
I really don't understand this line of thinking.
You really can't see it's a harder pillow to swallow to go out a re-purchase a game that is basically the same with improvements, than first timers?
None of these things are things the game needs. It's already overloaded with stuff, that it's barely a footnote. To me this just reads like bland entitlement. You don't need to have everything.
So what?
What a specious argument.
I didn't tell R* to not release a PC port when it was first released.
I didn't tell R* to decide to remove content from the PC port to appease the console only double dippers.
So now I'm outside of their hype cycle, and being outside the hype cycle of any game let's you be surprisingly choosy and patient about what to play and when.
So as I said I'll wait for the GOTY edition.
Yeah, that's a really shitty practice.
No thanks, Roxtar.
If you're really gonna reward previous players, do it like Valve - with skins. Excluding gameplay material for the majority of the userbase is not the way to go.
Well put. I'm not sure if I'll wait (depends on if it is a gift or not) but it's stupid.So what?

You don't get how someone can be upset that they're not getting content that's already on the disc they paid for?
You will still get this content, as long as you were signed to Rockstar Social Club. Which you can still do.Will there be ever Story DLC for GTA V? I will switch from 360 to PS4, so I won't get these fancy things anyway.
I don't like GTA Online, but love GTA V, and it's kind of depressing that there are only expansions for GTA Online available on Xbox Live.
It's on there as a bonus to the people who paid way more than you. It's not for you. Until they release it as DLC. Because of course they will.
I paid for PS3 version of the game but never played GTA Online. I won't get it.

It's the same as the Mewtwo in Smash thing, people are freaking out because double dippers get freebies that will certainly, inevitably be available for purchase later anyway. It's dumb shitty whining.
You don't have to play GTA Online, you just have to sign into the Social Club -- it tracks single player progress. Just boot up the game and log in, if you never have. You should be good to go.
Come on, be honest for a moment -- if this really minor bonus to double-dippers irks you so much you're going to wait for a GOTY edition, you weren't going to buy it at launch anyway. You're just taking up a cause and arguing for the sake of arguing. Companies often reward returning customers. If you really want to be rewarded like those people, go out and buy the last gen game, then buy the new one. Problem solved.
Or, you could quit whining, rent the game for less than the cost of the DLC, get the returning customer bonus, and have nothing to complain about.
As someone that does own the PS3 version, I completely agree with the people upset that content is locked from new players. On disc DLC is always a shitty practice especially if it's gameplay content. If they wanted to reward old players they should have offered the game at a discounted price for those players, not lock new content away from new players.

Nope. Was going to pick it up at launch; now I won't bother.
Fans of GTA 4 probably don't understand...For someone who felt the last game was a waste of time and money, GTAV is just another videogame. I hear it's better than the last one, and I'd like to play it. But I don't like supporting publishers who withhold on-disc content. I'm not annoyed that they're rewarding fans; I'm annoyed they're doing it by punishing newcomers. It's entirely possible to do one without doing the other.
And no, I'm not going to jump through a bunch of hoops to unlock the content. I'll just play something else.
Minority.
Maybe I am okay. I made a Social Club account and then I linked it up with my PSN account. My statistics from the PS3 version now show up online. All of my 5.98% and 01:49:48. Would this be adequate to receive the exclusive content? Still BS for everyone else.
Please elaborate on how you're being punished.
Giving a customer a bonus for prior purchases does not equal punishment. If I'm in a sandwich shop and someone gets a free sandwich for getting a frequent customer card punched, I shouldn't expect a free sandwich also -- even if there are sandwiches on the counter.

So they're gating off a bunch of content to people who didn't buy the 360/PS3 version?
Will wait for the GOTY edition then. You already made me wait well over a year for the PC version, it's not going to be hard to wait another 6 months on top of that.

Even worse, they're gating it off for those who own a last gen version and don't want to buy a new system and a rerelease to play this extra content. Not even an option to buy it as addon content on those old systems. Not everyone is ready to spend on next gen yet.
A very IGN/EA way of thinking. The extra content alone should make the pill easier to swallow. Or does knowing first time players can't enjoy it make it even easier? If so, Rockstar's gamble on pettiness may have been successful.
I'm not annoyed that returning players get rewarded. I'm annoyed that the reward is day one, on-disc content that Rockstar ensured new players can't use.
At least there are some new 1080p SS
I see this as two customers buying the same sandwich, but the onions are removed at the cash register for the guy without the punchcard.
You think so? I suspect very few of the millions of casual players who bought the game last gen will double-dip day 1. And when you factor in how many double-dippers will be locked out of the content because they didn't bother to sign up for Rockstar's social network...
I'd be very interested to know what percentage of day 1 buyers unlock this content.

It is. How is it not entitlement? Somebody is complaining about how things should be, thus they think they are entitled to somethIng. I am a bit preplexed that you actually want to argue that point?
I'm not a double dipper, but I think it's great they get something for buying the same thing again, with a small amount of improvements. I don't presume to think I deserve everything like the concept of fairness is just something that is a given from my point of view.
From the perspective of someone who bought the game before, they have spent a lot more money on it than I will. I think it's fair the developers made something for them. This is not like gating DLC or content that was a part of the original game. This is a thank-you present for old players. Acting like everybody deserves presents, just seems like entitlement to me.
This is not a new campaign, or some new actual story build content. This is so insignificant that there is no reason to be jealous of them just getting a little something as a thank you.

I was UNABLE to buy it at launch because it wasn't released on my multiplatform platform of choice.
Guess what?
I'm also UNABLE to buy it at second launch on my multiplatform platform of choice.
It makes the wait for the GOTY edition real fucking easy.
Thanks for deciding my position for me Captain Strawman.
Defined here as "People who bought the PS360 versions of one particular game", not "People who have historically purchased previous titles"?
"Whining" = "Wait for a better deal as a customer" now?
EDIT:
Apparently you don't count as a "returning customer" either. Because fuck you, give me $60.
