Rockstar Selling Four Sweet Titles in Console Compilation

If it has Undead Nightmare, I wouldn't mind buying RDR again.

It's not because of that, I just think it's a miserable failure of a detective game.

Can you explain further?

I know the game had flaws, but I really enjoyed the interrogations; I especially liked that after you play through the "tutorial" section of the game it started making you read difficult facial expressions and pay attention to the evidence, as opposed to earlier on (as Yahtzee pointed out), suspects would shift uncomfortably and roll their eyes whenever they lied.

And the evidence-gathering was a bit tedious, but I thought it broke up the action nicely, so we weren't constantly going back and forth between interrogations and shootouts.

The interrogations don't work. They're far, far too simplistic to even know what the hell you're actually saying - nevermind the fact that there are times when you can make connections that the game simply doesn't allow you to acknowledge. Not that it matters, because it's impossible to actually fail them. Fuck up an investigation as best you can and you'll still be promoted (after being called a massive twat by your superiors). The narrator is cringe-inducing, as are many of the performances.

Similarly, the writing is shit. Everyone's a complete and utter arse hole, often for no reason at all whatsoever. It also introduces stuff in a way that makes it difficult to maintain an idea of who individuals are in any given case, often times names are thrown about without you seeing the person for a while.

Even the much vaunted faces are shit - amorphous blobs of flesh which look incredibly unnatural. And since the interrogations are crapshoot and all of the "tells" ridiculously overplayed, they don't matter anyway.

My guess is they might save it for the 2nd Collection. maybe even Bully, some other GTA and Max Payne 3 will tag along too? (Assuming it will be released a lot further into the future since Max Payne 3 is still kinda new)

I would love it if Rockstar made a surprise announcement and said that they were going to sell this for the PC as well. I want Red Dead Redemption on the PC.

 

[Little Gray]

You know this would be an amazing deal except for the fact that I can already get all of those games for $10 each.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Mmmk. That's all well and nice for people who haven't played these games, but all I want to say is BULLY 2 NOW PLEASE!

Yes, this please.

I think the overly serious and cynical attude reached its peak well enough with Max Payne 3, so a return to when your games and characters were fun and colourful would be nice, Rockstar.

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

not a bad deal at all (if you havent got them) i enjoyed BoGT more than the main GTA:IV. Shame this isnt out on PC as i would most likely purchase

THIS is how you make money off of old games and fight "the used game scourge", publishers. Release them in a cheap ($60 for 3 full games and a hefty piece of DLC!) and easily accessible format and watch the money roll in from people who didn't buy it first time around. People like me, who can't afford more than one or two new releases, and so cherry-pick the best games from a couple years ago to keep themselves occupied. I'm definitely picking it up, here's hoping it comes out in the next couple months.

Thing is that you can get all of them for dirt cheap these days. The RDR GOTY edition can be found for $25 or less in most outlets, and the others can be had for $15 or less.

Really, the sentiment by Rockstar is nice, but unless they're releasing it with all the DLC attached, there's little point. I would have had the full IV instead of TfLC, RDR/Undead Nightmare and L.A. Noire with the DLC. It's just like the Bioware ME trilogy pack - another cheap cash-in.

You can get them cheap, but this does offer you a pretty good amount of convenience; Rather than having to track down multiple games and dealing with Gamestop, you have it in a neat package with a bow on top. Mostly, though, I'm going to buy the package because these are fantastic games, and I would like to reward the developers and publishers rather than supporting Gamestop's sticky fingers.

You're right, the DLC would be great. I hope that the games might have a code or something so that you can buy the DLC at a discount through PSN/Xbox Live (perhaps a limited-time offer to encourage early sales). It's probably not going to happen, but the core games are solid and I'm always willing to spend a few extra dollars for a well-crafted piece of DLC.

AND Red Dead Redemption on PC... because come on man, that game is crying out for mouse aim. Come on Rockstar, we want to give you money and you are like:

That, is THE best gif EVER!

OT: Good compilation, I'll pass on the driving game though. They bore me :3
