I bet they'll still charge a full $60 for it. For a game that costs no more than $23 used in Like-New condition. -_-
I don't care about multiplat games on consoles, for me it is a 100% new game.
It's factually not new at all, regardless of one's personal stance.
My refurbished iphone is also going for less then one directly from the factory,
Or a car that has just left the showroom vs a car in the showroom but hey i like shitty logic
@Kirby lol cars and iPhones are made with planned obsolescence in mind. They are also ridiculously overpriced. A digital copy of a game will last as long as the publisher honors it. A physical disk will last 20+ years if well taken care of. The cost for Rockstar to make a digital copy of RDR2 is nearly zero. The cost to make a new iPhone or a new vehicle is not.
What about witcher 3 on switch? They charging full $60 for a 4 year old port that costs no more than $20 on ps4
I hope that now that the hype has passed, critics can give this game a more adequate score. NakeyJakey said it best, it's not a near-perfect game.
Yeah, every Rockstar game seems to get 4-5 more points than it really deserves. They are always good games, but they aren't the 2nd coming. But I guess that's what happens when a thousand newspapers crawl out of the woodwork and give the latest R game 5/5 stars.
haha, a slight timed exclusivity deal to keep it off Steam till Dec, and they still want me to pay full price for a year late console port?.
Nah, solid pass from me R*.
it's not even an exclusive deal it's a "We will pay for you not to release it on Steam for 30 days deal" lol
That has been Rockstar's strategy for a while now. Because having some of the best-selling games of the generation and getting millions from tax relief without paying a single penny in taxes is not enough money. They gotta have all the money. If that means releasing purposely late ports, getting exclusivity contracts or whatever, so be it.
The game will look much better had have better frame rates than the consoles anyways.
It's kinda telling how much rockstar charged them for the delay when it's just 2 months, Epic roll in with a blank cheque to a meeting for a year of exclusive deal.... walk out with tail between legs and 60 days of annoyed steam fans instead of a year.
How nice of Rockstar to take some Epic cash for that one-month exclusivity. I mean how else will they be able to fund such a small and innovative project?
I still wonder why GTA5 and RDR2 never release on PC at launch. Its not like Sony and MS are paying time exclusiveness for it. Very questionable delayed releases.
Sees Red Dead coming to PC next month
Me: YEEEEEEEEES
Sees it's available for pre-order on Rockstar Launcher
Me: NOOOOOOO
Sees it's coming to Epic Games Store
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sees it's a 2 month exclusivity and will be available on Steam in December
Me: I'll take it! lol
RDR2 is certainly one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. I imagine it's going to look even better on PC. I never double dip, and I don't play much on PC. But, this one is tempting.
Damn thats fast
Are these deals making steam more obsolete?
Arrives on Google Stadia before Steam. 10/10!!!
pre order has a typo in it.
I bet they'll still charge a full $60 for it. For a game that can be bought for $23 CIB. -_- https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pal-playstation-4/red-dead-redemption-2
I only have a PS4 for exclusives, only buy multiplats for PC and always will. FF7 is another game I'll wait ofr the PC release.
I like how you got downvoted for stating the reality of the nature that is R*.
Have upvote from me.
Yeah, but he also has the top comment for saying the exact same thing. Sometimes, people who I assume are mentally ill, upvote one comment, and downvote the dupe, because it's how they get their jollys.
