Rockstar published the game, but Team Bondi wasn't a Rockstar development studio.

i never said it was developed by rockstar.

LA Noire. Where story doesn't matter :thumbsup:

 

[tigstah]

i played and beat la noire. i didnt love it nor did i hate it.
i didnt like driving back and forth across the map.
for 5 bucks, i'd say play it. dont expect anything blockbuster tho.

Maynard is being unnecessarily combative but his point is accurate: Rockstar put this game out as a Rockstar game. If Team Bondi had released it themselves, there would likely be no shooting or driving or you know, most of the crappy bullshit that is in the game (although the puzzles left a lot to be desired at the same time, IMO). I agree with his overall point: Rockstar tried to pitch this as an almost cerebral GTA. 2K fell in line. And I think that it left a lot of people confused.

Maybe it's just me because I buy almost everything, especially when it's on sale, but I can't see how anyone wouldn't want to buy all of these games for $5. I can't imagine that there is a way you wouldn't get your five dollars worth,veen if you played it for an hour and decided it wasn't for you.

Most of these games, especially the Rockstar ones, are excellent (IMO). At $5 they are a a no brainer.

These flash sales are nuts. My 1TB HDD is now full and I still couldn't download two of the games I bought. Christ Sony, lay off with the sales. H.

If that was the case then everyone would buy every game on the Steam Summer and Winter sales....NO!

I only buy/download games that I know will play...why waste 5 bucks?

I'm in the same boat. I have a backlog of games and don't need to add to them.

But that's the thing, I might play them one day. I hate thinking that I'd really like to play X game but now it's $20 and I could've had it for $5.

I really do believe one of these days I'll get to all these games. Possibly. :watusay:

I was trying to look at it that way also but I realized it just isn't gonna happen...

How was i combative?

its a rockstar game. they published it so its their game. they publish alot of games they dont develop and some are good and some are bad. This one got a shitload of hype and because it was a rockstar game people thought it was going to be something it wasnt. fair or not, that was the perception.

ive been meaning to play Red Dead for the longest time and never got around to it but for 5 bucks i couldn't pass it up. even if I dont play it for a while I know I have something waiting to play.

I could be way off but I thought the commercials for the game showed a lot of the action scenes which was very misleading. I knew what the game was about because I did my research. I still thoroughly enjoyed it. But I could easily see how the average game thought they were getting 1940's GTA and were way disappointed when they found out it was a procedural crime drama revolving around interrogations. They also had ROCKSTAR GAMES PRESENTS everywhere and you had to look really close to see that it was developed by Team Bondi.

Edit: I guess my memory is better than I thought.

RDR is an excellent game.
