GameRevolution: "RDR2 and Assassin's Creed data reveals no one completes games anymore and that's an increasingly troubling sign. Take a look at how many people are finishing major releases."
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar Games’ latest heavyweight, with nearly 40K concurrent players even five years after the (staggered) PC launch. Despite that, it can be a challenge to run the game on midrange and low-end PCs. RDR2 has gotten NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR 2 support following poor reception from Steam gamers.
"Use the Windows “High Performance” power profile and set your GPU power management mode to the same."
Not if you use AMD Ryzen CPU's. That needs to be set to balanced. "Overclock your GPU if you’re narrowly missing the 60 FPS mark." Actually it would be better to undervolt and increase the clock speed and see how stable it is in game.
Take-Two announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, and Grand Theft Auto V has passed a big sales milestone.
GTA V had a budget of 265 million, while RDR 2’s budget was between 370-500 million. Rockstar Games is one of the few studios that can invest so extensively in projects without fearing a lack of return.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I bought GTA5 on launch day (ps3) and to this day have yet to beat it. The game just kinda bored me. A lot of time has passed though, I wonder how much my opinion would change if I played it now. I'll give it another go, one day...
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
I haven't finished a game in a long time. It's not that I don't the game it's that as soon as I start to think about how long it's going to take me to 100% complete it I just say screw it. I just don't have the time anymore.
While I understand where this discussion is coming from, I believe the bulk of gamers do not have the time to sit to full completion within a month or two from release.
Too many good releases to dwell on at one time, creating the dreaded backlog. It becomes multitask gaming. Eventually a game will get beaten. And you have to take into account jobs, family, and responsibilities outside of this hobby.
I really don’t see this as a problem and devs shouldn’t fret about it.
43% of gamers haven't completed chapter 3 in Rdr2. Just proves how little gamers liked the incredible slow pacing.
Movies are 1 second of time compared to games. Movies are static and passive experiences compared to games. Games and movies are both forms of entertainment, yes, but they take up different spaces.
Im not one off them because i always finish a game im really into rdr 2 only took me a few weeks to finish to the game
