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.
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.
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.
Oh absolutely, Rockstar fucked them but I would imagine they are doing the same deal with RDR. They have Double Eleven doing this rerelease.
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.
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.
"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."
