          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.

            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.

              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.

            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.

        Diablo 2 hypewave smoothbrains: full price for a 20 year old game ported to console? puts car in gear and squeals tires

        It’s just for cosmetics, I don’t understand why similar stance by BG3 which also has cosmetics behind additional purchase (Deluxe edition) is largely ignored

          You’re comparing a digital deluxe one time purchase (that was a free reward to those that purchased the game when it was in early access) to an entire cash shop filled with cosmetics.

      People hate the season 1. I don’t play it myself, so this is a second hand information from my friend who used to love it. They nerfed characters so hard with the new balance patch and the end game contents for season 1 isn’t great.

      They nerfed it even more with S1, which made gameplay not fun. Meanwhile, us D2 players have hated it since the beginning, for many, many, many reasons. D4 has potential, but it’s not there yet - Blizzard needs to seriously work on getting the game balance right, but even then, I don’t see some aspects of the game improving due to the design decisions they made.

      Personally, I’d rather place my hopes on PoE 2.

    I find it funny that RDR is being framed as a Rockstar issue, when it feels more like a Sony issue. RDR has been backwards compatible on the Xbone since 2016. The reason Rockstar has to make a port is because of how poor PlayStation is at backwards compatibility

    Never trusting rockstar with another game. They CBF to even update RDR2 on PS5 to give it a basic performance mode, so why would I trust any of their new “remakes” will get support

    Diablo 4 was great. BG3 I hear is great. Remnant 2 still is great.

    RDR? Was never a fan of bleak wasteland games so I ended up dropping it. I could barely get through Fallout 3 for the same reason.

    Fuck Overwatch 2. Never played it, but hearing is enough.
