[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works [S] 63 points 3 years ago (1 child) Also no PC port. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social 22 points 3 years ago (2 children) Yet! They do this shit all the fucking time. They will stagger their releases and double dip people. This isn't to say people should pay 50 bucks for a fucking barely touched up game but the pc port thing is probably going to happen in a year or 2. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 24 points 3 years ago (2 children) RDR is a new low though. It's a game from 2010, originally on the Xbox 360 and ps3. Being released on switch at full price with no enhancements. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social 9 points 3 years ago (1 child) Oh its fucking stupid but honestly after the whole GTA trilogy thing, would you really want them to touch it up? They have proven they are terrible at it but yeah it being full price is insane. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) That touching up got outsourced to a tiny company that had never done anything but mobile games. There were like a dozen people working on that, and what was just a touch up of one game became the trilogy with only like 3 months notice. So as shitty as the end product was, Rockstar fucked them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) Oh absolutely, Rockstar fucked them but I would imagine they are doing the same deal with RDR. They have Double Eleven doing this rerelease. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago Damn. As much as I love and recommend RDR to people who haven't played it, this is inexcusable. The original release was buggy af too. A full remake with quality of life improvements is what should've happened. I just wanted to make sure people weren't shitting on the people who worked their asses off thanklessly. Yeah, it sucked, but I can't blame them. Rockstar is making greedy decisions because they're too comfortable that we'll eat whatever bullshit they throw our way. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Balthazar@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) A new low? Ever heard of Skyrim? I guess it is a new low for rockstar, but Bethesda's been doing this successfully for far, far too long. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 3 years ago "See that mountain over there? You can go there now playing on your refrigerator screen! Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we port Skyrim to that old beeper you still have in your junk drawer for some reason." permalink fedilink source parent [–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 10 points 3 years ago (2 children) I'm kind of glad I have a definitely unmodded switch. Also, definitely glad there totally isn't an emulator that has the letters r p c s 3 in the name. I do not condone piracy. Only use these tools if you have legally bought the game when it first came out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) I do not condone piracy I don't exactly condone it either, I enthusiastically embrace and encourage it. It is always morally correct to refuse to reward unethical and predatory businesses practices. Support the ones doing it the right way, though. (I know that part of your comment might be as sarcastic as the rest, but fuck it, might as well spell it out for the cheap seats 🤷) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 3 points 3 years ago I was worried some may not get the sarcasm. And I thought it'd be best to stay safe from getting it removed from mods who don't like it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DrPop@lemmy.one 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) What if I borrowed it from a friend? I'm not paying full price. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 1 point 3 years ago Borrowing is absolutely fine. permalink fedilink source parent
