We all love the game, but 50 dollars, nearly the same as retail price for a 13y old game that has nothing in the slightest of new features (bare minimum preference enhancements like 60fps) and is missing the multiplayer feature. People would be over the moon if it was- On both current gen consoles, ran at least at 1440p and 60fps (doesn't even have to be 4k) and was like 20-25 bucks, but nope. Rockstar has shown everyone how they really feel about their fanbase

...but it's one of the greatest games of alk time though, right?

The game has been $30 dollars with the expansions for $20 dollars, sold separately, on the Xbox marketpkace since it was made available through backwards comparability. Almost a decade.

The game still holds up very well and nobody actually gives a shit about the multiplayer. It was a novel side mode that was essentially dead within a year of its initial release. The only reason people are complaining is because it's not there.

So is The Witcher 3, which went from 60€ to 30€ within 3 years. 13 years later and best Rockstar could do with RDR1 was 50€? lol

And they sliced multiplayer off too. Technically speaking, is it even the same game? Every review giving RDR1 95/100 on Metacritic counted MP as a high, an experience you couldn't find anywhere else.

The game has been $30 dollars with the expansions for $20 dollars

The expansion has always been $10 on Xbox. And in that $40 package you get graphical enhancements and multiplayer. Now that is still one of the greatest games of all time... sold at a fair price. :)

There's more than just undead nightmare. Undead nightmare is ten and there's that other pack that is also ten. All the expansions total actual comes to $56, but I didn't count golden guns. :P

I'm not sure why everybody is suddenly pretending the multiplayer is suddenly one of the most important aspects of the game. It never was. It was a decent enough distraction, but the multiplayer pretty mich died in less than a year of its release. Pretty sure RDO has something to do with it being cut. Probably not wanting to cannabalise what's left of that audience, or just seeing the numbers behind the curtain and knowing almost nobody actually cares. They say they do, because it's been taken away, but they never actually did.

EDIT: P.S Witches 3 complete edition also retails for $50 on console digital stores.

What? Mate there is no other pack worth $10. The only paid DLC is Undead Nightmare.

The multiplayer ones became free. The singleplayer ones were included in a new DLC called Compliments of the House, which built-in the base game... nine years ago.

multiplayer is suddenly one of the most important aspects of the game.

Because it is an important aspect. Always was. Maybe not to you, but its multiplayer is absolutely fantastic and losing access to it sucks big time. It is less content for big 2023 game cash

You are 100% drunk on copium.

the multiplayer pretty mich died in less than a year of its release.

Mate what the fuck are you talking about? I have been playing RDR1 since 2012, there are always active lobbies on Xbox. I can enter a lobby right now and find at least 20 people.

Pretty sure RDO has something to do with it being cut. Probably not wanting to cannabalise what's left of that audience

You are absolutely right... that and not wanting to bother with servers.

knowing almost nobody actually cares

Wait, is multiplayer "suddenly important" or does "nobody care"? Pick one argument lad.

Witches 3 complete edition also retails for $50 on console digital stores.

The $50 package includes 2 massive expansion packs, the smallest of which is 5x the size of Undead Nightmare. Not an apt comparision. The Witcher 3 itself was $30 and it is still several times bigger than RDR1. lol

You are defending the indefensible.
