Red Dead Redemption

I loved the option of playing the game in first person. Not sure it warranted a full release price, but that was a pretty big change imo.
Agreed - add in the fact that it necessitated new higher-res textures, whole new series of animations etc, and it was a pretty substantial change.
 
Yeah they've done a good job and updates are free but I think they've earned loads of money through in-game currency sales. I think they make more than $50m per quarter through that alone, plus the game is still selling very well and plenty of people have bought it for two platforms. It's a cash cow for Rockstar.
They continue to make money from it because it's one of the best games ever made.

I just thought 'milking it' was harsh.

But it's what they are doing, maximizing profit from a successful product.
 
I must be the only person who who found this game boring as feck. One of the few games I deleted off my PS3 hard drive because I knew I didnt like it at all

You aren't alone. Like most Rockstar games, I couldn't bring myself to finish it.
 
I found it really boring as well. Had to stop playing it. I really liked Undead Nightmare though, thought that was good.
 
One of my favourite all time games.

I do feel it's aged a little bit though. The way missions were structured kind of detracts from the story telling.

Game lost a bit of steam during the second act, and during the first act, even though you were controlling John, you never felt like you knew what he was planning. It was just cut scenes after cut scenes in between running errands for various people before John's plan actually was revealed. Maybe playing Witcher 2 the past few days is colouring my opinion here.

I found the 2nd half rather dull. So much so in fact, that I didn't even bother finishing the story until several years later. But the novelty of the setting still made it memorable.

Me too, I enjoyed it for a bit but then it just bored the ass off me. I got the undead because it was cheap, and it was excellent, far better. Proof that if you add zombies to anything it makes it better.
 
My favourite all time game.

The scene where you enter Mexico and Jose Gonzalez starts playing is, imo, the greatest scene in the history of gaming. If the setting is right (ie sunset) then it's just breathtaking.

I agree, I also liked this scene:

This, basically.

Magnificent game.
 
There any chance they might do a remaster just before any sequel comes out, as happened with the Uncharteds? Had a PC last gen and was peeved it never got ported, thought they'd at least be sure to get it on PS4 at some point...

I pray every night they do
