      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’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.
