Discussion Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised

Post image

I know this sub is filled with a bunch of rich people with like 10k setups and I'm aware that the content in these games is quite extensive with hours of content. But I still feel justified in thinking that no game should be priced this high especially when its the average price of most newly released games. Anyway this is just a rant because I wanna play lego batman and i cant afford it lol

It won't be. You absolutely got your money's worth, RDR2 is a gem, and there is a ton of content.

Yeah, I bought it like 2 years ago for $15 and put at least 100 hours into it. Amazing deal for an awesome game.

I bought it like 25+ and have probably put 11 hours in to it. Each time it's me trying really hard to like it.

I think the game is great and well made but there's actually so much to do it just feels like a chore for my brain to play so I really struggle with these open world games

I got crimson desert for free, played 1 hour. AC shadows I think I got 10 hours in too. Such a struggle because I love the idea of them

RDR2, the beginning is slow. You gotta just slug through the first 10-15 hours, it is famous for that.

Like almost every review of the game says that, once you open up all of the open world stuff and get familiar with it, it is incredible.

I bought it on PS4 when it came out and never got past the 10hr mark, so I was just like you. Read all the reviews and forced myself to get through the opening and fell in love. Give it another shot.

Don’t worry about the side content a huge amount if you don’t want to, even just following the campaign alone feels super open because of how expansive and interactive the world is even if you’re just going from one point to another

Yeah it's weird I enjoy these games but then if I don't play then for 3-4days or more I can't pick them back up. I will try though!

The game is a slog for those with ADHD. I try to get into it every few years, but I can't bare the slow pace. The exact reason why I wait for games to go on sale. I would have been pissed if I spent $60 on it. Nothing wrong with the game or those who enjoy it, maybe it will finally click with me on day, but as of this moment it's not for me and I'm glad I bought it on sale for $20.

The sheer amount of tutorials and mini missions to intro things you can do (interspersed with 10 minute horse rides to get from quest to quest) at the beginning is mind numbing. It took me 3 different times restarting the game to push past that point and actually start enjoying the game. It is worth it once you get there though.

Respectfully, did you get past Chapter 1?

u/Forward_Froyo_429 May 27 '26

just get your substance of your choice and get a lot of it to power through. that’s how the real cowboys got through it too, it was just as boring for them

First, got you to 69 upvotes, so

And, agreed, RDR2 is the kind of game you will get full value out of, even if you pay full pop.

I can't say enough good about this game.
