It'll be interesting to see the sales numbers on this. Surely it's been long enough that it'll only be the extra few stragglers and the few looking for a hit of nostalgia, right?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago

I'd love to play it, but I'm not paying more than 15€ for it, I'm very patient.

Undead Nightmare becoming suddenly easy to stream around Halloween will probably boost sales a bit too

I love good stories. RDR2 was a good story, and RDR1 is technically the sequel to it. And as I don't like consoles, especially not buying them for one game, I'll definitely buy it - if it runs on Linux.

RDR2 is a prequel. RDR is just that: ~~RDR2~~ RDR1

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. As I said, RDR1 is the sequel and RDR2 is the prequel.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 days ago (3 children)

RDR1 isnt a sequel bro.
You wouldnt call the original star wars triology a sequel, would you?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Its a retroactive sequel, yes

Sequel and prequel are relative terms. In the overarching view of the series release order: RDR1 is the prequel and RDR2 is the sequel

In the view of the game story, RDR2 is the prequel and RDR1 is the sequel

It’s a sequel to Red Dead Revolver.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Now that is something I can't talk much about because I only played the prequel and not gonna pay R* the current asking price for an old game.

But good to know.

erm ackshually

Why are you arguing about something that matters so little?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Based on the numbers for the Dead Space remaster, I expect this one to do very well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

That was a remaster though. This is just a port isn’t it?
