I can't even imagine the amount of sales Rockstart lost by not having this game on PC before, because one of the differences between PC and consoles is that people never stop buying the version of game you release there. It's like people on PS5 are still buying PS3 games like Metal Gear Solid 4 or GTA IV, right? In fact, I don't even know if they can run that. To use a random example of a 2010 game, Fallout New Vegas had a peak of over 4000 players in the last 24 hours, and people are buying that game all the time. Hell, even an older Rockstar title like GTA IV had a peak of over 2000 players. They were buying it for so many years that one can only imagine the amount of money they made. They have mods to extend the life of the game. Red Dead Redemption had a peak of 8697 players ON LAUNCH. People played this game on emulators before. We have mods there. Rockstar lost so many years of sales on PC that they could have easily cover the cost of the game itself with a simple PC port. It's better late than ever, but 15 years? You can give me 1000 excuses on why that happened, but I'm going to have to point at all the emulators from different platforms that are already running this game and laugh at you.

@spankyjeffro5320 Do you even understand the words you are using? You are saying "it only released on consoles", basically. Yeah, no sh*t, Einstein. That has nothing to do with any type of licensing issues we hear about today. It just means the game was made for consoles and not PC. There is no direct evidence indicating that the game’s console exclusivity was due to any perpetual licensing contract that prevented a PC port. The decision not to release a PC version initially appeared to be more of a business and development strategy by Rockstar Games, focusing on console markets and prioritizing new projects over adapting the game to PC​​​​ (or other consoles that came after the PS3 and 360), which wouldn't make my comment less valid.

They do it for every remaster or port, sadly.

[@OffensiveFarmer]

I was excited to buy it and relive the good old days of online where we would throw Tomahawks at each others horses as we rode around the map. As soon as i found out there was no multiplayer i vowed to never buy it.

[@FordHoard]

@OffensiveFarmer Me and my friends used to "joust" on that big railroad bridge trestle north of McFarlane's Ranch. We would ride towards each other and throw knives or tomahawks at each other's horse. If they survived by not falling off, we would fistfight and try to knock each other off. Good times!

@@FordHoard I didn't hear anyone complaining when Far Cry 3 got ported to the PS4 without online co-op. These people act like Red Dead Redemption is the only port of a game that didn't have online.

@@hermos3602 That's true. Far Cry 3 had a really fun multiplayer, by the way. You know all these companies could do it, but they won't get any immediate returns for it because it doesn't have microtransactions.

$50 price point will sell well on those that have played rdr2 and want to now play this. It doesn't hurt rockstar to initially sell it at a high price point as they can simply reduce price later.

[@albusdumbledore7727]

Undead nightmare is overrated though. I loved it as a kid. Recently tried it again, it was so repetitive and boring. My nostalgia told me it was great, but it really wasn’t.

[@basedlibertyprime]

It’s almost 15 years old dude, $30 at the absolute most.

[@JB-nl3xy]

50 bucks for a 15 year old game, not even a remake or anythingbut just a straight up 15 year old game, is not a good price in any sense of the word. It's not even a matter of opinion at that point

[@InhabitantOfOddworld]

​@@albusdumbledore7727 Nah it's GOATed, definitely up there among the best zombie games and it's not even a zombie game, but DLC for a cowboy game I'd argue that only Dying Light and Days Gone are better, and that's plainly and simply because they're entirely zombie games. That's how good Undead Nightmare is, IMO it beats Dead Rising, Dead Island, you name it.

[@albusdumbledore7727]

you see that’s your nostalgia talking. I would have said the same thing if I hadn’t played it again recently. It’s really repetitive. Most of the missions consist of fetch quests and side activities. West dickens sends you all over the world for flowers, in a freaking zombie game. And seth sends you to clear three random graveyards, after you literally cleared the one in blackwater. After that its another fetch quest for Dickens and then it’s off to Mexico for the final few missions. The fun in the dlc comes from side content, but that alone does not make this game great. Definitely not goated. Definitely not up there as one of the best.

[@WllKiedSnake]

And you wonder why it took so long to come to PC?

[@Ricky_Retriever]

@@WllKiedSnakeIt actually took too long because the original game went through a messy development and programmers commented how the game’s code was a literal spaghetti code. In the case of piracy, if RDR1 released on PC a year or so after the release, pirates would’ve had a hard time trying to crack it given how it took them a day or two to crack GTA IV & the episodes iirc.

[@WllKiedSnake]

@Ricky_Retriever I don't think spaghetti code is the reason. I think they just saw no point in a PC port. And they knew people would pirate it. And like you said. One or two days to crack GTA4 it woukd of been the same with RDR1. And then people would pirate it. Not buy it.

[@youngnat]

​@@WllKiedSnakeThat's funny cause they would've had record breaking sales if they ported it over before rdr2 was. Oh and why did rdr2 and GTA 5 get ported way before rdr1 if they cared so much about piracy?

Totally worth $50 if you haven't played it. Take away the graphical "grade" where it is obviously a 10 year old game...the story, the voice acting, the game play and the number of hours you'll get out of it is better than most games out today. And Rockstar is not known for STEEP discounts very soon after release....it'll take a while. I doubt you see a $15-20 price point in 6 months. $29-35 maybe.

I can partially agree about price, i think 40$ release price and 30$ on sales is more fair. And after 6-12 months dropping base price to 30$, 15-20$ on sales. But not a 20$ on release like people suggest. The game is on masterpiece lvl. For last 5 years how many masterpiece games we had on PC? Not a lot. Nowadays studios ask 70$ for buggy crap and mediocracy. But in case of rdr you know you getting high quality product.

In the ps3 (ps4 updated) version(s), the npc’s on horseback would travel past you at ‘high-speed’ for no reason. At times it would be annoying as you would think that you may be under attack. Also, there were instances of npc’s glitching - not too many but you would occasionally come across one in a town or within a saloon. It didn’t really affect the overall quality of the game, especially considering when the game was developed. Finally, I think the company that did this port on behalf of Rockstar just implemented everything ‘warts and all’ and have concentrated on the stable running performance and graphic enhancements. They generally did a reasonable job, so far, as the playthrough is still continuing. It will be interesting to see what ‘mods’ are created and if they will enhance the game further.
