The "regular" retail price is still $79.99 (CAD) despite being out for almost 2 years at this point, and it has still never dropped below $39.99 for a sale price.

Off the top of my head I can't think of any other non-first party Nintendo game that's done this.

It's probably because the online doesnt draw in nearly as much money as GTAV. But I've seen physical copies atleast half off.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Yeah $39.99 is half price in Canada, that's the lowest it's gone. So $29.99 in the US makes sense.

And the online not being as "successful" is my assumption as well. It's still just weird because I figured it'd have hit $29.99 here at least once but nope.

RDR2 is a genuine masterpiece

Though many (myself included) think the first one is too so you might not like it

GTA5 STILL rarely goes under $30. I don't see where you guys are getting that these games have different value depreciation.

I went back to the first. If you play it on n modern times, it does feel empty as shit. Still decent, but it's not blowing anyone's mind.

Huh where? It goes on sale for $20 here all the time (it actually is right now) and I think one store even had it for $14.99 a couple weeks ago.

Not in the US store. I've seen it go to 30$ quite a bit at this point. 20$ maybe twice. I assume you're not talking about the ps3 version? Just to get that out the way. I also seen it on clearence for 15$ at Walmart but I don't count clearence.

I played the first over again in 2016 and loved every second of it, going so far as to 100% the main game and Undead Nightmare again and I had fun

That doesn't really walk back anything I said. I also played both and had fun. But it is an empty world with side quests that mostly just involve talking to a person and then talking to another person. Later they get a little more content but nothing crazy. But to think if RDR2 feels empty compared to the best of modern games in 15 years, that would be some insane depth going on >_>.

No the PS4/Xbone "Premium Online" editions.

Hell it's $20 in the US too

Oh, damn. I guess I didn't really pay super close attention to all the stores. We don't even have a Best Buy in town. But we're still talking like what? 7-8 years into the games life? In the first 2-3 years that wasn't happening.

Dude, its $20 or under on the console digital storefront every other week it seems, its a running joke on the console forums. Hell, right now the premium edition on the Xbox storefront is on sale for $14.99 CAD.

I already folded that argument. Now you guys are just ignoring the one you can't argue against. Drive the knife in if you want, I guess I earned it. But there still the very real argument of time frames
