Commercially Accurate is the best kind of Accurate

 

[Vandole]

Do people really give a crap about Undead Nightmare? Hell do they even remember Undead Nightmare? Always dismissed it as something just riding high of the Zombie craze of the late HD era and nothing more.

When it came out I considered it the best DLC ever released. It was part of the zombie craze that permeated all media, movies, tv, etc but that doesn't mean it wasn't extremely well done. It basically was its own standalone Western horror game and it was outstanding.

I don't know if I still consider it the best DLC of all time, and honestly that term has really changed a lot in the past 10 years, but I still love it and it's the bar that other DLC bundles get measured against.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Glad I bought it on Xbox for $10. Is this really just a straight port of the og game for $50? What upgrades did it get?

 

[CGNoire]

It's amazing how angry people get at basic economics.
It puts all of the world's problems into a sharper focus.

Nice try.
There angry at anti Consumer tactics.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

To me that just says: Let's see if we can get away with this pricing. Using RD2 as a backboard to sell this thing is a pretty bold move.
Let's see if it pays off.

 

[ADiTAR]

Nice try.
There angry at anti Consumer tactics.

I don't get this whole anti-consumer stuff. If you're a consumer and something doesn't align for you, than don't be a consumer. Consumers consume, if you don't want to consume this than consume something else. There's nothing anti about it. You still have free will and a choice.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

You've already waited 13 years, what's six more months? Stick it to these assholes who think they can get away with Nintendo-level fuckery.

 

[RobRSG]

Is the xbox 360 copy I bought for $7 from my game store 10 years ago the exact same game?

No, you have Multiplayer too.

 

[CGNoire]

I don't get this whole anti-consumer stuff. If you're a consumer and something doesn't align for you, than don't be a consumer. Consumers consume, if you don't want to consume this than consume something else. There's nothing anti about it. You still have free will and a choice.

I wonder if you get cancer one day if youll still have that same attitude when your "choice" is between "Commercial Accurate" priced medication and cheaper Holistic remedies.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Well, the price is apparently proportional to people stupidly willing to pay this price.

Nothing wrong.

/s

 

[Esppiral]

And that is why Backwards compatibility is a good thing Jimbo.....

My PS3 copy is still sealed to this day, didnt have the urge to play it despite loving every minute of RDR. I also thought the same.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

As long as GTA 6 I'd filled to the brim with single player content

'Looks at GTA V Online vs the single player portion'

 

[Deerock71]

I predict this will kick ass on the Switch. I might even double-dip, provided R* doesn't pull a Grovestreet Games whaddafuk again.

 

[Kerotan]

I mean that's it's full price. You'll get a fair price when it regularly goes on sale.

 

[ahtlas7]

Just.don’t.buy.it

honestly! People need better self control.

 

[ADiTAR]

I wonder if you get cancer one day if youll still have that same attitude when your "choice" is between "Commercial Accurate" priced medication and cheaper Holistic remedies.

You're just proving the point. This isn't life or death consumerism, it's just a fucking video game.

 

[GigaBowser]

Gonna gets this on my new Switch OLED

 

[Kataploom]

Wait, so is it 55 or 54 million copies sold? Also their pricing isn't market accurate, it's being high for the sake of a supposed "premium" port. And people will pay.

If people will pay, then it's accurate. That's all that matters.

 

[MadPanda]

55 mil copies sold and they couldn't bother to update the online part of the game? I hope we get a sequel or whatever one day, even though I don't know about the story...

 

[lh032]

As long as GTA 6 I'd filled to the brim with single player content, I'm not going to complain too much. Rockstars budget for GTA 6 will most likely be twice as expensive as any game in history

i want it to happen but i doubt that

Problably just your usual huge detailed world design with nothing to do, and its reserves for GTA online.

 

[Filben]

Well, he can't really say "because you idiotic fuck heads pay that price". So it's kind of corporate accuracy.

And even if only 100,000 people buy it it turns to profit given it took them near zero effort.

 

[Scotty W]

Maybe the redemption of the American health care system will start with the pricing of the Red Dead Redemption rerelease.

 

[GooseMan69]

It’s such a slap in the face how they constantly talk about how successful RDR2 is, while REFUSING to support it at all. No 60 fps patch while fucking GTA V is about to get remastered for the 8th time. What a crock of shit. Fuck Take Two.

 

[PanzerCute]

What a twat.

 

[MrA]

the real kicker will be if the switch physical release needs a download

According to Nintendo's page, it's 11.3gb

Red Dead Redemption for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site

Buy Red Dead Redemption and shop other great Nintendo products online at the official My Nintendo Store.

8 gig card out of spite with download to finish the game would be quite the knife twist

 

[cireza]

Another case of "Thank you MS for BC".

Another case of "Thank you MS for BC".

if there is one thing ms was on point with it was definitely the back compatibility, So many 360 games look amazing with resolution and framerate boosts

One of the best DLC expansions ever, so not sure what you're babbling about.

There angry at anti Consumer tactics.

whynotboth.gif

It can be economics and anti consumer. The onus is on the consumer not to buy at this price and then if thats the case price will go down.

 

[CGNoire]

You're just proving the point. This isn't life or death consumerism, it's just a fucking video game.

Everything we complain about here is a 1st world problem whats your point? Shits not worth $50 period.

 

[ADiTAR]

than don't fucking buy it.

You're being naive. For your sake, I hope you're right, but in the current AAA industry the larger focus is on monetary models and microtransactions. They'll place higher priority on the online mode.

Also, making a budget insanely high does not equate to a quality product. If the $USD 2 billion budget rumor is anything to go by, then that may indicate development has been reset a couple of times which is not a good thing.

 

[Kadve]

Saw it often on the second-hand games rack and never really bothered with it.

 

[theStartupSound]

It is not about how capitalism works, it is about a once loved company who did everything it touched in a pretty passionate way and added a big amount of value to the gaming space.
Now, many things they do feel like Ubisoft or EA – companies who have a tendency to don’t care about the art form of gaming at all.

 

[Negotiator101]

Saw it often on the second-hand games rack and never really bothered with it.

I'd highly recommend it obviously it's an old game now but still great.

 

[MMaRsu]

Dont buy this people

 

[existensmaximum]

Are people actually surprised they prefer making more money over less money?

 

[chromhound]

 

[rofif]

I mean if it’s 4k30 it’s doing almost as much as most remasters. It’s just too expensive

 

[rhodesianshepard]

'Looks at GTA V Online vs the single player portion'

GTA V had more single player content than 99% of video games. And People said the same thing about RDR2 and yet it easily has 200+ hrs of single player content. GTA online is obviously a juggernaut, but nothing in Rockstar's history suggests they won't have a full length expansive story.

 

[Fuz]

"Morons are going to buy it at this price, so we'll sell it at this price"

FTFY

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

And this is why I laughed and didn't care about rockstar when they got hacked/discord infiltrated with those massive GTA 6 leaks. They clearly don't give a fuck about their fans.

 

[SmokedMeat]

You guys really think Switch owners won’t buy this? They’ve never had a Red Dead Redemption game.

They’re also used to paying higher prices than anyone else.

Highly doubtful Rockstar had to reboot GTA 6. They have some of the best developers in the industry that are perfecting a known formula they created 20+ years ago. And The 2 billion reported budget included 10+ years of GTA online expansions. The base game is probably around 1 billion. Which would make sense with 5000+ developers and 7ish years of full development time

 

[DeepEnigma]

No?!

We know people will buy this. He knows people will buy this. GTA Trilogy shitshow was proof of that. Hence, minimal effort.

Do people really give a crap about Undead Nightmare? Hell do they even remember Undead Nightmare? Always dismissed it as something just riding high of the Zombie craze of the late HD era and nothing more.

Along with Gta 4 DLC, Shivering isles, Dragonborn and the Witcher 3 expansions, Undead Nightmare is one of the best DLC ever made in the history of videogames.
