Time for the 5th playthrough

A month exclusivity (yes I know of R*'s launcher, but we know it's a deal to keep it off of Steam for 1 month) and expecting me to pay full price for a yr old port job?. Nice joke R*, but I'm not buying the punchline.

Gotta love how they pull out the marketing speak like "first time ever, all new grapical settings" lingo, as if I didn't already know that I was able to crank up a few settings, with them making it sound like it's some brand new "bonus" feature. Reminds me of Ubi's PC marketing, where they make a non fps capped, non res locked game sound like bonus features.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Lol. Timed exclusive for non-Steam platforms. Interesting. At least it's coming to multiple launchers for people who are too scared to deviate from their main launcher.

Yeah, screw people who have opinions or preferences.

And there's also that part "Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC also includes free access to the shared living world of Red Dead Online "

Like they're doing you gift for such a feature xD I think the underlining tones are more scarier than I thought. They really do expect you to plunge yourself into their MTX ... ugh.

Next thing you know, they'll be telling us that we're able to make use of HDR for "free", or added in like some goody rainbows bonus feature.

I swear these fucking publishers/AAA studios try way too hard to make it seem like they are giving us free stuff, that's already regarded as baseline for years. 

You know what would have sold me on the game though:

Selling it on all storefronts, GoG included (but it won't due to DRM).

Giving all that bonus content completely for free, not having to pre-order it.

Giving all that content away for free on all storefronts.

Not requiring me to fucking use your shitty client when using another client (seriously, fuck off with the dual client to play one game gig).

Selling it for £30, because it's been a sodding year now, with the story out there in the open, spoiled for all to see. I know the entire plot of RDR 2 by now, so the Sp's intrinsic value has been massively lowered to me.

Also giving us a solid port job, that doesn't contain shitty settings that bloat the performance. Also, fuck off with MSAA R* and give me more than just MSAA/TAA. We have more AA options out there.

I don't understand some people saying BS like why "charge 60 on a game released on consoles a while ago". As if it is just a shitty port like GTA4. I hope they will make sure this will run beautifully and take advantage of high-end PCs, like raytracing.

No, thanks. Had it come out at the same time as the console release I probably would have picked it up but I've heard enough negative things in the meantime that now I don't wanna. The first one was one of the most boring and clunky games I've ever played and I've often read those same words used to describe this game.
