Analoghype: "The games focus on former outlaw, John Marston and his adventures across the American frontier. At first glance many hyped it up to be a wild west version of Grand Theft Auto. Lets see if Red Dead Redemption is worth the hype."
Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.
More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.
How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.
I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.
I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.
Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.
Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.
They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.
Rockstar says the free upgrade issue affecting Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360 owners requires more time to resolve, with another update expected within five days.
I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.
Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
A detailed comparison of Red Dead Redemption on Switch 2, PS4, and PS5 shows stronger settings, better performance, and a major uplift for Nintendo’s new hardware.
Bring on the disagrees.. but NO this game is not worth it to me.. Boring as hell.. It goes up there as only 2 games I regretted to buy.. GTA4 and this one... Oddly enough they are made by the same dev and played exactly the same...
Once again the funnest time I had was free roam with friends.. but that is old already.. Trading it in and getting Mod nation
I just finished it, and talk about beating a dead horse. I was dying for it to end just so I could be done with it. Too long, too boring. Very pretty but an 8 at best. I hate to say it, but I can't help it. Disappoint of the year.(DOTY)
The game ROCKS and I am loving every minute of it....
I'm really enjoying this game. People who have no depth and can't comprehend a good well-written narrative may find this game boring but it appeals strongly to an intellectual gamer like myself. Its a brilliant game imo. Hence the awesome review scores!
Well being a PC gamer I wouldn't know since this game isn't available on the PC yet for some reason we still keep getting these RDR news posts in the PC channel.
Oh and for those gong "PC gamers will get it later" that may or may not be true but the official line is "no PC version planned". So until it is announced on the PC I think it is only proper that the PC channel should be RDR free.
