is this worth $40?

[Nishan]

I want to buy this but I can't help but feel like it isn't worth it at this price especially with the removed multiplayer. I did have an amazing time with this game in 2011 though.

It's worth $40 at most. I just dropped the $$$ on it. I remember enjoying the Hell outta this game back in the day.

Its not worth 40$ to me. But only you know what its worth to you.

Wait until its 20 dollars that is the correct price for the game.

This, IMO.

Yes, this game is legendary. However always wait for sales. I bought this bundled with RDR2 i think for $50. I have played this game on the 360, ps3 and now PC. PC is the best place for it, but I have experienced some bugs. Hopefully we get an update soon to fix those issues, but this is really just same game ported over to PC. with that said wait for sales.

10 bucks at most for over a decade old game.

rockstar looks like a greedy publisher, their discounts are mediocre even for ancient games like GTA IV or this one, i mean this is steam winter sale and just 20% off?

cant blame them, the only relevant thing they have is GTA V RDR1,2 and that it, what? max payne? abandoned, LA noire and bully that's all they have so they must milk RDR and GTA series as much as possible.

Yeah, I'm retired and need to stretch my gaming budget. Where did you get this bundle, not at steam b/c it is $60 so...?

Meanwhile plenty of other games in the library.

that's pretty much it. this game on launch i'd say was worth 60 bucks easy, but no matter how much it's worked on (don't think that's even the case here since it seems like a poor port) the entire game from music, story, gameplay and design will be dated. that may be good for some things, but bad for others.

either way, it's hardly a new or innovative game and people are mostly buying for nostalgia, so really hard to actually justify the price, unless you have a lot of money to waste and just don't care.

I would check HumbleBundle or Fanatical if looking for sales/bundles generally as they are some of the only remaining legit bundle/sale site for steam games I think, most of the others died out or just suck at this point (looking at you indiegala.)

if you're on a budget, these sites are great for getting legit keys and not grey market, though your at the whims of the bundles depending on what you get, but there's always new and quality stuff if you keep an eye out for it.

if you're looking for pricing for something specific, check out isthereanydeal as this is an aggregator site that tracks and compares game prices. to note, this WILL include grey market (not quite legal) keys as well, so these are far cheaper, but have a risk of being revoked from your library at any given time.

you can use it to see any ongoing sales though from the big, reputable sites and compare it with the greatest discounts for the product so it's very helpful still.

Hell naw. This is a port, not a new game.

[DudeAbides]

It's a personal choice OP. I was hesitant myself as I finished it (not the zombie add on) on the PlayStation years ago. I folded when someone wanted to buy my a Christmas gift. I told them to buy me this game. I'm a handful of hours into it and having a blast. It's been long enough that I vaguely remember the missions so they seem somewhat fresh. It's also like playing RDR2 light. It doesn't have the extra rigmarole that you have to go through.

My last 2 cents. While I liked it on the PlayStation. I'm loving it on the PC. I prefer the mouse/keyboard control for foot action. I still use a game pad for horseback. The same setup I use for GTA games.

people saying $10-20 at most are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, they probably think they just copy and pasted this from consoles 3 generations back to pc and it just worked flawlessly, im running at 1440p max settings 90fps capped with zero issues, and that is a miracle when it comes to old imported/remastered games. i have played 10+ hours / 40% of the story line and have only faced one bug, and even then the game had just auto saved and i lost no progress. people complaining about the price are only looking at their own feet and not seeing any further. be thankful that they even brought this back at all, and they did an amazing job doing it.

"amazing" job of porting a game to PC? I suppose whichever company they contracted could have dropped the ball on this port, many PC ports are abysmal that is true enough, but $50 for so little effort???

Even Dark Souls Remastered (and it wasn't much of one...) is full price $40 and they gave previous owners 50% off on that price.
