It just got cracked this week 🏴☠️
Yarr!
This is just awful...atrocious... how do I avoid seeing this in the wild?
Yeah, waiting on a deep sale for this one.
I did that for the RE4 remake and picked it up for $16 yesterday.
And that was an actual remake, not just a 14 years late PC port.
I'm playing it right now and I'm almost done. I think it's the best remake I ever played. They preserved what was good and reworked what was bad.
Hm. That’s good to hear. I got stuck somewhere pretty early in the game and wasn’t even invested enough to figure it out. I’ll have to give it another shot soon because honestly I was bored.
It's not for everyone I guess. But if you liked the original, I think you'll enjoy the remake.
If you haven't played 2 hours of it yet, you should consider refunding and waiting for a humble bundle. Resident Evil is packaged there quite often with nearly the full series of games being about $25 or so sometimes, short of the most recent one, whichever it happens to be.
I have the 2016 port of the game already and that had poor controller support so, unless the bundled one is the remake, I think I'm alright paying $16 for it.
In addition to that when it first came out on PS2 and GameCube I beat the game inside out half dozen times, so this game has some sentimental value.
Fair.
People will and are buying it anyway. It will go on sale very soon once sales slow down. They know it isn't worth that much, but they know idiots will buy it anyway.
Then once it's 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% off, people will think they are getting a deal, even though it still isn't worth that much. Rockstar know exactly what they are doing.
I dunno, probably not worth it for someone who has it on consoles, but as someone with no consoles newer than gamecube, I'll wait for a discount.
I've only played a little RDR2 - which I felt was a bit too much "life sim" nonsense with all kinds of minigames (fishing, hunting, dating?, whatever) and bit heavy on lengthy cutscenes, and I've heard that RDR1 is bit more straight forward and "game-y" - Anyone care to chime in if this is true?
If it is bit more straightforward I might be interested in this - after a hefty discount.
I’ll chime in! This is absolutely true in my experience. I loved RDR1 (still one of my favorite games) but with RDR2, I felt exactly the same as you. Too much fishing, hunting, and other distracting elements. RDR1 has some of that but it’s on a much smaller and easier to complete scale. I never finished the second one, about halfway through, I went back and replayed the first.
That’s basically been Rockstar’s MO since GTA4. I enjoyed GTA3 through San Andreas but GTA4 felt like bowling with cousin Roman more than a GTA game.
Thanks for the insight!
Not really a fan of GTA games, so... dunno if RDR is my kinda game to begin with. I do find westerns interesting at least.
I've played the original 2 GTA games way back when, didn't much care for the arcade chaos. 3 and Vice city were so-so, and... GTA4...

Ended up quitting GTA4 during tutorialization :D
It had me going to some inane date with some lady, when I was driving her home I apparently goofed, bumped something with my car and long story short: I died by police gunfire in a minigolf track's pond. Then game said I had to go do the date again. NOPE.
The only thing that's like GTA are the publisher and the controls/movement. I've played all the GTA games and it's a totally different vibe.
appreciated!
welp, here's waiting for a discount, maybe xmas sales will provide.
I’ll agree that RDR is different in a many ways, it’s still Rockstar so some of the gameplay is similar but a lot more fun with the western vibe over the city. And while I enjoyed some of the GTA games, none of them come close to RDR1 in my opinion. I just brought GTA up because I saw the same life sim crap creeping in there around GTA4 like I did RDR2
I almost didn't make it through the intro for RDR2, 20 mins of trudging through snow.
IDGAF.
This is wild if true.
I loved RDR, and played the fuck out of that. RDR2 spend so much time trying to distract me from actually playing that I got bored.
I was down voted a lot for preferring the original. Thats neat that others found the first better.
I thought the original was far better than the second and the Undead Nightmare was a surprisingly good extension of the game. The story was better, the characters were better. Obviously the graphics were worse, I don't know if the new release updates those in a meaningful way or not.
I know RDR2 was wildly popular, but I thought it really dragged. I managed to "finish" the story and then...it just kept going, so I finally quit. I don't know how much was left, but I mostly regret not having quit much earlier.
The Original RDR has been termed "sandbox with a 6-gun". It is infinitely more approachable, and in my humble opinion, the better of the two by far. It has none of the survival/camp manager nonsense, just you and your horse and plenty of random shenanigans to get up to.
Is this repack worth $50? Probably not... but this is definitely the more enjoyable (in everything but graphics) game.
I still have my Xbox 360 physical copy, so no, I will not be paying $50 for a 14-year-old game.
good to know, i havent played this one yet
