actually truth
I mean after a eg 70% sale the included games go back to their normal prices, too. Where is the outcry there?
I bought all my Move controllers right after they were abandoned as a PS3 accessory but before the price went up again due to becoming the VR controllers. Of course I got a sweet deal, because sellers thought they cleared their shelves and stock. Prices not necessarily reflect a true value even from physical products that can't be just digitally copied.
Gone with the Wind on BR costs also the same as Tenet and not automatically practically nothing because it's old and you could have made yourself a recording on VHS for decades now. Even some e-books you can get legally free cost money on the very same platform.
They naturally ask what they get away with. If they want to sell RDR again and stir up some attention of course they can ask seemingly blown up prices. Is it truly not worth the same as current games? Some bits are dated, but it is still a Rockstar quality game, right?
Some customers don't care anyway, and grown ups who care should be able to inform themselves how prices usually should go down over time unless it becomes some rare object and even a used price goes up.

It’s a lazy fucking port. Why should people be happy with it? Because the GTA trilogy set was bad? So anything better than the GTA trilogy is amazing and should have no detractors right?
Nah. They’re asking $50/$60 for a fucking lazy port thst was likely made in about 4 months.

If it was from anyone else I'd be surprised. LOL
They make industry leading games and know they can get away with it, and the sad part is the gamers always do let them get away with it.

I've heard that R* are going to charge $120 MSRP for GTA 6, since you know, you're practically getting two games worth.
..and that there'll be cosmetic micro transactions for offline for the first time in the series history.
Also they are shying away from any sensitive topics this time around..
That does not apply to fictional conservative characters, problematic topics and general toxicity we see in real world society today, as they will be heavily ridiculed now more than ever.

Hilarious. If that's true goes to show how dumb digital gamers are. But it makes sense. All those bullet points to support discs back in 2013 got thrown out the window when gamers realized they can save 12 seconds loading a game instead of putting a disc in the console.
Every company I've worked at, a bundle deal has to be cheaper. The retailer selling it will demand it and no customer is stupid enough to buy two bottles of shampoo in a double pack for regular price when they can cherry pick one unit at a time however they want.
But when you got gamers amped up on digital, mtx, $60 seasons passes etc.... every game maker might as well shotgun any dumbly priced product and see if it sticks.

I’ll bite. Let’s go game by game for Nintendo for HD remake/remasters.
You may very well be right but what game released did they either not bundle or release without added content to at least try to justify a price increase?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
This is what I paid for it.
RDR2 is/was on sale for $19.99 last time I checked on both XBL and PSN (same price can be found on retail frequently).

Dial back the personal attacks and discuss like an adult.
How do you know its lazy? Have you tried it? Or are you making my point about how the circle jerk of haters haven't even done that much? Cause honestly it looks and feels good so far.
You and everyone else crying like giant babies on the internet over the price could, you know, just not buy it and move on w your life? Hate to break it to you, but because YOU don't wanna pay $50 for a "lazy port", doesn't mean this isn't going to sell or anything is wrong here.

Corpo apologists are seemingly every where. Funny how take two put out the Mafia remake which was really damn good, and then turned around and released this lazy port on the world and asked for full price for it.

I saw a conversation on Twitter about the port where one person justified spending $50 on the Switch port using its portability. It could have been 60fps on Switch too.

This is Zelnick's doing. He always talks about how they're "undercharging" for their products.

Who's still paying $60 for rdr2?
Guess people with no disc drives?

They sure don't mind alienating parts of their audience when there's a buck to be made. History says they're probably immune to any financial blowback from unchecked greed / hubris. But then again, the climate they will be launching GTA6 in is kind of uncharted waters for them. Might not be the best time to alienate any of the audience when they're probably going to be a lightning rod for criticism when it launches regardless.

They didn't have to "scam" anyone. They literally just put a game out and it sells gangbusters. What is emboldening them so much where they start to pulling this shit?

Probably some higher ups at T2 want to see some profits this quarter from Rockstar since they're taking more than 10 fucking years to get the next GTA out, which is embarrassing by itself already.

You know, that make sense. Business sense, of course. It's some slimeball shit, but all you have to do is politely decline and wait for/buy something that else that has a better perceived value. It's not hard. However, we have people that function on impulse and maybe even daddy's credit card. In short, people that enable this behavior from the corporations.

There's the 12 seconds to load discs. Then there's the outlay of energy required to remove my lazy behind from a state of rest to manipulate discs and cases. Sometimes I don't want to clear the mountains of Cheeto dust that have accumulated on top of me to go to where the discs are.

I mean, I would've probably bought it if it had come out on PC. But luckily, Rockstar spared me from this fate.

I heard it runs pretty good on:
I have a BDR, so, I was thinking of going this route if I ever wanted to play it again. My PS3 sitting in it's launch box, collecting dust, over that YLOD.

I don't know what you looked up, but it's ARS 1.429,00 which is ~ 3,76 Euro. But you can also buy an Argentina key on Eneba or Gamivo for like 8 Euro. It's more easy anyways.

i think its fair, essentially just a port for people that don't know what a port is. they are purposely not saying remaster because that would be overselling it.
And don't want you to question them.

I still have both the game and the Undead DLC on my PS3. I'll play them on there before I spend $50 for this lazy, barebone port.

None of those is a remaster. In the end it's cheaper to buy the 360 version anyway.Rockstar just posted a $100 bundle on Xbox that includes RDR2 and the X360 BC version of RDR.
This is NOT the remaster that is out on PS4 and Switch. It’s just the original X360 version with its DLC.
