"Rockstar’s Wild West adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 2 has achieved the biggest opening weekend in entertainment history. Yes, in entertainment history. Movies, music, books – everything.
To be perfectly honest, this shouldn’t comes as much as a surprise – Rockstar games are incredibly popular. While Red Dead Redemption 2 had the biggest opening weekend in entertainment history, the studio’s previous game – Grand Theft Auto V– still holds the record for three-day retail sell-through."
Red Dead Redemption 2 has biggest opening weekend in entertainme..
It's a damn good game and probably game of the year. I'm not surprised it sold so well.
I'm not going to suck Rockstar's dick and say it has no flaws, but it has more gameplay and polish than Grand Theft Auto 5 so take away what you will
hopefully they don't make the online a micro-transaction shitfest like GTA5 and ruin it
What, you don't want RDR: Online?
They better give their employees some fat bonuses for busting their asses and making this such a success.
Pff, yeah right.
There’s definitely shit that irks me about it (where’s the invincibility cheat???) but like funion said it’s very polished and has lots more depth that GTA 5, I love the amount of customization for your character, horse, and guns
I guess it's kinda impressive that Rockstar developed the two most popular pieces of entertainment in history.
110% sure they'll make the online just that, publishers do what publishers gotta do
Nice so now they can afford paying all the overtime they had their employee do to make the game right
I've always wanted to see a Rockstar RPG and this game feels like the closest we are going to get to that
just give em the Fallout ip
thats literally my dream game. A Rockstar developed, Obsidian written Fallout game.
I'd say a lot of its flaws comes in the form of trade-offs. Trade-offs that become increasingly more and more visible to the player. It's unashamedly an immersion sim and it doesn't give the slightest shit about your limited playtime availability.
It's insanely good, but i feel like all of the flaws that come from these trade-offs are very subjective.
You seriously thought i was talking about it like a real possiblity? of course i know bethesda would never sell their second biggest ip, i was just saying that it would be a dream, for me, for that to happen.
Relax jesus.
best selling domino game ever
It could be the best game on the planet - I still can't reasonably ever play it since I'm not going to fork out hundreds for a console and another 50 for the game.
I straight up bought the game, a 4k console, and a 4k tv all in one week
there is no redemption for my red dead budget
same
Was it the intricately modeled, textured and animated horse testicles that brought people in?
I wouldn't mind buying a console, but I cannot phantom using a controller to play a game, I feel like I have cerebral palsy when trying to move around with it
It sets a bad precedent too. If PC is gonna be an afterthought for them, then this game should be and afterthought for PC players. You shouldn't have to buy a game twice, and Rockstar shouldn't be banking on people being forced to buy twice.
For GTA:V I just patiently waited for 2 years, forgot about the game, and then got the upgraded PC version. It's worth it to wait.
Those people don't work there anymore.
what the hell is this referring to?
You can play dominos with your camp members.
I dont know, GTA5 solo is prettt good, but holy shit the multiplayer is an absolute mess.
Are you kidding me? Rockstar would shit just as hard on the Fallout IP as Bethesda have.
Also the writers for New Vegas don't even WORK at Obsidian anymore.
GTAV had objectively less gameplay than San Andreas and that shit came out 14 years ago
I'd pick San Andreas over V any day tbh.
RDR 2 is very good and immersive but it kind of has an issue where some things just don't make sense in terms of what you can and can't do. It's also not very good at explaining some of the basic mechanics unless you dive into the help menu
Lol nice joke. They're gonna continue this trend of making great games off the broken backs of tortured devs and using the hype to drown their numerous humans rights abuses. Rockstar's numerous
counts of illegal overtime, maltreatment and harassment should already have probed an investigation into them (especially the Benzies incident), but we all tend to forget about that every release with the good games they give us.
that is the aspect that i love in it. One thing i disliked a lot from GTA V was how they made it all feel "arcadey" very video gamie and sacrificed a lot of the realism GTA IV tried to provide in its story, physics, animations, ragdolls, car handling and etc. which is a taste i know but for people like me, thats the appeal from a game like Red Dead Redemption 2 and i get that Rockstar knows it is aiming for me.
The only slow thing I don't like about in RDR2 so far is cooking at the campfire. I wish I could just hold the button to cook like with crafting ammo or offload a bunch of meat on the camp cook and get some cooked stuff in return a few hours later. At the moment it doesn't feel realistic, it just feels like a menu with loads of delay between each choice.
I'm quite content to not care anymore. I used to care a lot! get all up in arms and worked up. But as i've gotten more and more informed about the Gaming industy, i've realized most of it hasn't unionized and it hasn't unionized because most of it is in American pockets. even European or other overseas development houses can trace their steps up the ladder to American corporate... and if there's a millionth thing America hates, it's unions.
so i'm pretty much over getting worked up on their behalf. Because it's not that they can't have unions. It's because they chose and stil choose not to have unions negotiate better working conditions on their behalf. There's no other business in the IT-Business that so wholly shuns unions in countries where it's the norm.
As far as i see it, it's not really my problem that they can't act in their own best interest. I'm not about to boycott on their behalf when they aren't even remotely fighting for themselves already.
