$50 for a PS3 game.
The absolute state of AAA gaming is ridiculous.

no no no this one has shders and dust particles it's braaannnd neeww
Just a heads up to anyone that wants to play this, the switch version runs very well on the high seas. Just finished playing it for the first time and started rdr2
The crack has been released for PC already, found it on a few sites
Rockstar launcher 🤡
That makes it a hard no for me.
Yeah i am done with "its just a launcher bro, lets game"
There so many good games with out that trash... Why?
For me the last straw was not being able to play a game on a plane because no internet connection. God forbid i enjoy something i paid for without checking in with server.
FAFO, grifters. No money for parasites.
If you buy Black Ops 6 on Steam, you need to use THREE LAUNCHERS
I open Blops 6, Blops 6 opens
Technically it's the CoD HQ thing, but it loads Blops 6 content first and will let me play MP and Zombies without anything else needed
I had to log in to battlenet when I first got cod, but it otherwise doesn't appear when playing
So I can see 2 if you count battlenet, what's the third?
Wtf... Some context?
But yeah i stopped buying cod and battlefield due to bad practices.
Linking YouTube videos on my phone now makes it difficult to share without stupid tracking links, but check out Videogamedunkey’s recent Black Ops 6 video. It’s asinine.
I respect you appreciating this!
Can you even get a non tracking spytube or reddit link amymore?
Seriously! I used to be able to copy and paste easily and remove everything after the ?, but now they’ve changed it so it’s nested in the URL. Also, they broke ad blocking in Firefox Focus, so I have to copy and paste the videos into Safari with Vinegar and Baking Soda for a halfway decent watch experience. Aaaaaaaa
Yeah i had suspicion that reddit using rando letter/number variables for specific link were died to person generating link.
I saw youtube and twatter do the same...
Disgusting
Oh yah. They’re all doing it. Amazon too. Apparently with TikTok, you can’t even remove the tracking info, absolutely disgusting! I don’t touch TikTok, so I can’t confirm.
If you see a ?, you can usually delete that and everything after it to get rid of the spy stuff.
Ugh. I'd probably pay $15 for it on sale, but the launcher makes me want to pirate it just to avoid that crap. I literally just want to play undead nightmare.
50 quid? Nah, I'll pass until it's down to 15 quid max.
15?!
10 max
If Rockstar hadn't just royally screwed all Linux gamers over by adding that god-awful BattlEye anti-cheat to GTA Online, I might be interested. Now I see Rockstar does not care if I have access to the games I've purchased, so why would I want to buy more of their games? No thanks, especially not $50 for a 20 year old game. Rockstar won't be seeing a penny from me.
Thanks for sharing this. I was not aware they we doing EA trick with battlefield.
As i saw in another thread: no tux, no bux
It'll be interesting to see the sales numbers on this. Surely it's been long enough that it'll only be the extra few stragglers and the few looking for a hit of nostalgia, right?
I'd love to play it, but I'm not paying more than 15€ for it, I'm very patient.
Undead Nightmare becoming suddenly easy to stream around Halloween will probably boost sales a bit too
I love good stories. RDR2 was a good story, and RDR1 is technically the sequel to it. And as I don't like consoles, especially not buying them for one game, I'll definitely buy it - if it runs on Linux.
RDR2 is a prequel. RDR is just that: ~~RDR2~~ RDR1
Yeah. As I said, RDR1 is the sequel and RDR2 is the prequel.
RDR1 isnt a sequel bro.
You wouldnt call the original star wars triology a sequel, would you?
Its a retroactive sequel, yes
Sequel and prequel are relative terms. In the overarching view of the series release order: RDR1 is the prequel and RDR2 is the sequel
In the view of the game story, RDR2 is the prequel and RDR1 is the sequel
It’s a sequel to Red Dead Revolver.
Now that is something I can't talk much about because I only played the prequel and not gonna pay R* the current asking price for an old game.
But good to know.
erm ackshually
Why are you arguing about something that matters so little?
Based on the numbers for the Dead Space remaster, I expect this one to do very well.
That was a remaster though. This is just a port isn’t it?
